Magnetic properties of a diluted transverse spin-1 Ising nanocube with a longitudinal crystal-field (2016)

In the present work, the effective field theory with correlations based on the probability distribution technique has been used to investigate the effect of the surface shell longitudinal cristal field on the magnetic properties of a diluted antiferromagnetic spin-1 Ising nanocube particle. This effect has also been studied on the hysteresis loops of the system. It is found that this parameter has a strong effect on the magnetization profiles, compensation temperature, coercive field and remanent magnetization.
Example-Based Super-Resolution Land Cover Mapping Using Support Vector Regression (2014)

Super-resolution mapping (SRM) is a promising technique to generate a fine resolution land cover map from coarse fractional images by predicting the spatial locations of different land cover classes at subpixel scale. In most cases, SRM is accomplished by using the spatial dependence principle, which is a simple method to describe the spatial patterns of different land cover classes. However, the spatial dependence principle used in existing SRM models does not fully reflect the real-world situations, making the resultant fine resolution land cover map often have uncertainty. In this paper, an example-based SRM model using support vector regression (SVR_SRM) was proposed. Without directly using an explicit formulation to describe the prior information about the subpixel spatial pattern, SVR_SRM generates a fine resolution land cover map from coarse fractional images, by learning the nonlinear relationships between the coarse fractional pixels and corresponding labeled subpixels from the selected best-match training data. Based on the experiments of two subset images of National Land Cover Database (NLCD) 2001 and a subset of real hyperspectral Airborne Visible/Infrared Imaging Spectrometer (AVIRIS) image, the performance of SVR_SRM was evaluated by comparing with the traditional pixel-based hard classification (HC) and several existing typical SRM algorithms. The results show that SVR_SRM can generate fine resolution land cover maps with more detailed spatial information and higher accuracy at different spatial scales.
The control of rotavirus gastroenteritis in the United States. (2012)

Since 2006, two new vaccines have been licensed to prevent rotavirus, the cause of 20% to 50% of severe acute gastroenteritis in young children worldwide. These vaccines have been implemented in national immunization programs in about 30 high- and middle-income countries, including the United States, and vaccine use has led to substantial decreases in diarrhea-related health care visits. In addition to reductions in diarrhea burden in vaccinated children, decreases have been observed in older, unvaccinated age groups in many settings, suggesting indirect benefits (i.e., herd immunity) from vaccination. Although the efficacy of these oral rotavirus vaccines is expectedly lower in developing countries in Asia and Africa, the public health benefits of vaccination in these settings, where more than 90% of the estimated 453,000 annual deaths from rotavirus occur, are likely to be substantial. Efforts continue to develop alternative rotavirus vaccines that could have a better efficacy and safety profile and may be less expensive.
Biogenic Synthesis of Silver Nanoparticles Using Pantoea stewartii and Priestia aryabhattai and Their Antimicrobial, Larvicidal, Histopathological, and Biotoxicity Potential (2023)

In recent years, green nanotechnology has gained considerable importance for the synthesis of nanoparticles due to its economic viability and biosafety. In the current study, silver nanoparticles were synthesized using two bacterial isolates, H2 and H3, which were isolated from soil samples collected from the Western Ghats, Tamil Nadu, and identified at the species level as <i>Pantoea</i><i>stewartii</i> (H2) and <i>Priestia</i><i>aryabhattai</i> (H3) by sequencing their 16s rRNA genes. Intracellularly synthesized silver nanoparticles were characterized by UV-visible spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, atomic force microscopy, and particle size analysis. AFM studies show that both of the bacterial synthesized Ag NPs were circular-shaped and disaggregated, with an average size distribution of 4 nm for <i>Pantoea</i><i>stewartii</i> and 3.6 nm for <i>Priestia</i><i>aryabhattai</i>. Furthermore, their larvicidal activity, antimicrobial, histopathological, and biotoxicity effects were determined. The synthesized Ag NPs exhibited potent larvicidal activity against fourth instars of <i>Ae.</i><i>aegypti</i>, <i>An.</i><i>stephensi</i>, and <i>Cx.</i><i>quinquefasciatus</i> exposed to a 50 µg/mL concentration for 24 h based on their LC<sub>50</sub> and LC<sub>90</sub> values. Histopathological studies of the affected mosquito larvae clearly show damage to the epithelial cells, food bolus, basement membrane, muscles, and midgut parts. The maximum antimicrobial activity of <i>Priestia</i><i>aryabhattai</i>-synthesized Ag NPs was observed for <i>Streptomyces varsoviensis</i> MTCC-1537, and that of <i>Pantoea stewartii</i>-synthesized Ag NPs was against <i>Escherichia coli</i> MTCC-43. The toxicity test on non-target organisms such as <i>Artemia nauplii</i> and zebrafish embryos indicates no visible abnormalities or mortality after their exposure for 48h. It is concluded that silver nanoparticles can easily be synthesized using <i>Pantoea stewartii</i> (H2) and <i>Priestia aryabhattai</i> (H3) as capping and reducing agents. Silver nanoparticles showed potent larvicidal activities and could potentially be used in integrated vector control programs because they are safe for other inhabitants of the same aquatic environment as mosquito larvae.
Lead-free Ba0.8Ca0.2(ZrxTi1−x)O3 ceramics with large electrocaloric effect (2015)

The electrocaloric effect was investigated in lead-free Zr doped Ba0.8Ca0.2(ZrxTi1−x)O3 (BCTZ) ceramics synthesized by a conventional sintering process. Room-temperature x-ray diffraction analysis showed that the tetragonal structure is obtained in BCTZ for x ≤ 0.08 and a pseudo cubic phase for x &amp;gt; 0.08. The dielectric spectroscopy and calorimetry revealed that the Curie temperature decreases as a consequence of Zr doping and that the BCTZ exhibits a first order ferroelectric phase transition. The electrocaloric effect was determined by the calculation of the electrocaloric change of temperature (ΔT) using the Maxwell relation based on the P–E hysteresis loops measured at different temperatures. A large electrocaloric responsivity ΔT/ΔE = 0.34 × 10−6 Km/V was found for x = 0.04, which significantly exceeds of values found so far in other lead-free electrocaloric materials.
Quadruple valve replacement for carcinoid heart disease. (2009)

Cardiac surgery for symptomatic carcinoid heart disease in conjunction with adjunctive therapy is being increasingly shown to improve the long-term outlook of patients with carcinoid heart disease. Herein is reported the case of a female patient with heart failure, secondary to carcinoid heart disease affecting all four cardiac valves, who successfully underwent quadruple valve replacement in the same sitting. The patient made an uneventful postoperative recovery, and had an excellent quality of life at the one-year follow up examination.
Automatic Structuring of IT Problem Ticket Data for Enhanced Problem Resolution (2007)

In this paper we propose a novel technique to automatically structure problem tickets consisting of free form, heterogeneous textual data, so that IT problem isolation and resolution can be performed rapidly. The originality of our technique consists in applying the conditional random fields (CRFs) supervised learning process to automatically identify individual units of information in the raw data. The CRFs have been shown to be effective on real-world tasks in various fields. We apply our technique to identify structural patterns specific to the problem ticket data used in call centers to enhance the problem resolution system used by remote technical assistance personnel. Most of the existing ticketing data is not explicitly structured, is highly noisy, and very heterogeneous in content, making it hard to effectively apply common data mining techniques to analyze and search the raw data. An example of such an analysis is the detection of the units of information containing the steps taken by the technical people to resolve a particular customer issue. We present a study of the accuracy of our results.
DQN-Based Relay Deployment and Trajectory Planning in Consensus-Based Multi-UAVs Tracking Network (2021)

Currently, that multiple unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) complete the tracking tasks cooperatively has became an important development trend. However, in multi-UAVs tracking network, the mobility of tracking UAVs will seriously affect the performance of the network, resulting in frequent network interruption, prolonging convergence delay of consensus algorithm, and even unable to meet the tracking requirements. In this paper, we proposed an approach by deploying a relay UAV to improve the connectivity and consensus performance of the multi-UAVs tracking network. We divide the process of deploying relay UAV into two steps. Firstly, DQN-based deployment algorithm is proposed to obtain the initial position of relay UAV, whose energy consumption and consensus convergence delay of the tracking network are optimized. Secondly, during the movement of tracking UAVs, DQN-based trajectory planning algorithm is proposed, which effectively improves the consensus success probability and reduces the outage probability of the multi-UAVs tracking network. Simulations verify that the DQN-based algorithms have superior performances compared with existing works.

The Impact of Dispersion Slope on Fiber Nonlinearity in Ultra-Wideband Optical Communication System (2018)

We investigate the impact of dispersion slope induced phase-matching on nonlinear noise for wide-bandwidth signals. To ignore the third-order dispersion, its product with 6-times the bandwidth should be less than the second-order dispersion, as for wavelengths from 1360-1570nm in SSMF.
Effects of Renal Insufficiency and Hemodialysis on the Pharmacokinetics of Rofecoxib (2003)

Rofecoxib (VIOXX, Merck & Co., West Point, PA) is a COX-2-selective inhibitor that combines anti-inflammatory and analgesic efficacy with improved gastrointestinal (GI) safety. The present open-label study investigated the pharmacokinetics, safety, and tolerability of a single, oral dose of rofecoxib (50 mg) in patients with end-stage renal failure (creatinine clearance <5 mL/min/1.73 m(2)) requiring hemodialysis. Rofecoxib AUC(0-48 h), AUC(0- infinity), C(max), T(max), and t(1/2) obtained from renal failure patients on hemodialysis were not significantly different from those obtained from healthy subjects. With hemodialysis initiated 48 hours postdose, rofecoxib AUC(0-48 h) adjusted mean ratio (renal failure/healthy subjects) was 0.81, with a corresponding 90% confidence interval (CI; 0.66, 1.00). Hemodialysis per se had no clinically meaningful effect on rofecoxib pharmacokinetics: plasma rofecoxib concentration-time curves were virtually superimposable when hemodialysis was initiated at 4 or 48 hours following rofecoxib dosing, although mean rofecoxib C(max) was 18% lower during the former (325 versus 395 ng/mL; P = 0.014). Overall, rofecoxib was well tolerated in end-stage renal disease patients. In this study, end-stage renal disease and hemodialysis had little effect on rofecoxib pharmacokinetics. Although there are no clinical data to support the use of rofecoxib in patients with severe renal insufficiency (creatinine clearance, 5-30 mL/min/1.73 m(2)), these data suggest that dosage adjustment of rofecoxib is not needed for patients with impaired renal function.
Neuropathology of COVID-19. (2022)

The COVID-19 pandemic has placed global health care systems under unprecedented strain but has, at the same time, provided a unique opportunity for pathologists to turn autopsy findings into directly actionable insights into patient care. The current data on the neuropathology of COVID-19 remains preliminary and is limited by the lack of suitable controls, but certain tentative conclusions can be drawn. SARS-CoV-2 can infect multiple cell types in the central nervous system and does so in a subset of patients, although the clinical significance of direct infections remains in the central nervous system (CNS) and the peripheral nervous system (PNS) infections remains unclear. The best-described neuropathological manifestations of COVID-19 in the brain are variable patterns of neuroinflammation and vascular injury, although again, it remains unclear to what degree these findings are specifically due to COVID-19. There is also intriguing preliminary data to suggest a complex relationship between COVID-19 and neurodegeneration, with certain alleles that increase AD risk also increasing the risk of severe COVID-19, and conversely, the possibility that COVID-19 may increase the risk of neurodegenerative disease. The neuropathology of so-called "long-COVID" and the potential effects of COVID-19, or critical illness in general, on neurodegenerative disease remains unclear. There is thus an urgent need for long-term cohort studies of COVID-19 survivors, including brain donation, particularly in elderly patients, with careful recruitment of controls with similar non-COVID inflammatory illnesses.
RNA Silencing Genes Control de Novo DNA Methylation (2004)

Cytosine DNA methylation silences harmful DNAs such as transposons and retroviruses ([ 1 ][1]). Maintenance DNA methyltransferases propagate pre-existing DNA methylation in the CG sequence context by methylating hemi-methylated sites after DNA replication. Much less is understood about how invasive
Anti-friction properties of ester additives during hot rolling of aluminum{copyright} (1995)

Heavy esters of polyhydric alcohols, such as glycerol and synthetic polyols, are commonly used as additives in aluminum hot rolling lubricants. The presence of several hydroxyl groups allows a varying degree of esterification leading to the formation of full and partial esters. These esters are rarely separated from the main additive, and thus may be present in the finished rolling lubricant, affecting its anti-friction properties. The objective of this work was to examine the anti-friction properties of these potential ester contaminants during rolling on a laboratory hot rolling mill. Two lubricant application methods were examined; as emulsion and direct (neat oil) application. The anti-friction properties of additives were found to depend on their chemical structure and the lubricant applications method. In emulsified oils, partial esters of glycerol were found to greatly reduce friction in comparison to triglycerides, while the partial esters of synthetic polyols exhibited only a weak anti-friction effect. There was no frictional advantage observed which could be associated with using the partial esters in direct application mode. Moreover, under these conditions, the anti-friction properties of the completely esterified synthetic polyols were significantly lower than those of triglycerides, while in emulsions they were comparable. 11 refs., 7 figs., 3more » tabs.« less
Handling actuator magnitude and rate saturation in uncertain over-actuated systems: a modified projection algorithm approach (2020)

This paper proposes a projection algorithm which can be employed to bound actuator signals, in terms of both magnitude and rate, for uncertain systems with redundant actuators. The investigated closed-loop control system is assumed to contain an adaptive control allocator to distribute the total control input among actuators. Although conventional control allocation methods can handle actuator rate and magnitude constraints, they cannot consider actuator uncertainty. On the other hand, adaptive allocators manage uncertainty and actuator magnitude limits. The proposed projection algorithm enables adaptive control allocators to handle both magnitude and rate saturation constraints. A mathematically rigorous analysis is provided to show that with the help of the proposed projection algorithm, the performance of the adaptive control allocator can be guaranteed, in terms of error bounds. Simulation results are presented, where the Aero-Data Model In Research Environment (ADMIRE) is used to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.
Serotonin receptors expressed by myelinating Schwann cells in rat sciatic nerve (1997)

We have previously reported that Schwann cells cultured from rat sciatic nerves express 5-HT2A receptors. In this study we extend these in vitro observations to Schwann cells in situ. Since the serotonin (5-HT) levels in rat sciatic nerve are elevated following nerve injury, we examined Schwann cells in healthy and injured adult rat sciatic nerves. These nerves were double-labeled immunohistochemically with an anti-idiotypic antibody that recognizes 5-HT1B, 5-HT2A, and 5-HT2C receptors and an antibody against S100beta, a Schwann cell marker. 5-HT receptor labeling was observed in Schwann cells of healthy and regenerating nerves, but not of degenerating nerves, while S100beta labeling was observed in the Schwann cells of all nerves examined. The 5-HT receptor immunolabeling was cytoplasmic, as with the cultured Schwann cells. While staining was observed at the nodes of Ranvier, it was not restricted to these locations. These results suggest that myelinating rat Schwann cells normally express 5-HT receptors in vivo, and that receptor expression is reduced during times when 5-HT levels are elevated in the sciatic endoneurium.
Revealing heterogeneity in correlation times of EGFP encapsulated in complex coacervate core micelles by analysis of fluorescence anisotropies (2022)

Encapsulation of enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP) in complex coacervate core micelles (C3Ms) can be established by mixing EGFP with diblock polymers at equal charge ratio. It has previously been shown that this encapsulation system is highly dynamic, implying existence of different populations; GFP free in solution or complexed with polymers (small complexes) and EGFP encapsulated in C3Ms. We performed time resolved fluorescence anisotropy experiments to determine the relative populations of EGFP encapsulated in C3Ms using three different fluorescence anisotropy decay analysis methods. First, Maximum Entropy Method (MEM) data analysis was employed for five different EGFP concentrations in C3Ms that were mixed with dark fluorescent proteins (10, 20, 30, 40 and 50% EGFP, respectively). In all cases, correlation-time distributions between 0.1 and 100 ns (on a logarithmic timescale) are clearly visible showing bimodal distribution. The distribution between 0.1 and 2.0 ns is due to homo-FRET between EGFP molecules packed in micelles and the distribution between 8 and 30 ns coincides with the correlation-time distribution of free EGFP in solution. The fraction of homo-FRET distribution linearly increases with increase of relative micellar EGFP concentrations. These MEM results were corroborated by two different analysis methods: global population analysis of all five fluorescence anisotropy decays arising from EGFP in micelles together with the one of free EGFP (direct analysis of anisotropies) and global associative population analysis of anisotropies by fitting parallel and perpendicular fluorescence decay components. In contrast to global analyses approaches, the MEM method directly reveals distributions of correlation times without any prior information about the sample. However, global associative analysis of anisotropies by fitting parallel and perpendicular fluorescence decay components is the only method that allows to estimate accurately fractions of free fluorophores in solution and encapsulated fluorophores.

Read circuits for resistive memory (ReRAM) and memristor-based nonvolatile Logics (2015)

Resistive memory device (Memristor) is one of the candidates for energy-efficient nonvolatile memory and nonvolatile logics (nvLogics) in the applications of wearable devices, Internet of Things (IoT), cloud computing, and big-data processing. However, resistive RAM (ReRAM) and memristor-based nvLogics suffer limited performance and low yield due to process variations in transistors and resistance of memristor. This presentation discusses the design challenges in read circuits for high-speed, area-efficient, and low-voltage ReRAM and nvLogics. Memristor-based nvLogics, such as nonvolatile-SRAM (nvSRAM), nonvolatile flip-flops (nvFF), and nonvolatile TCAM (nvTCAM) are included in this presentation. Several silicon-verified solutions on read scheme and sense amplifiers are also discussed in this presentation.
Abnormal Lymphocyte Populations in Pure Red Cell Aplasia (1976)

Studies of blood lymphocytes from 4 patients with pure red cell aplasia were performed with lymphocyte surface markers, and with various in vitro tests for lymphocyte functions. Pathologically low B-lymphocyte values were found. In contrast, no marked deviation from normals were seen for T-lymphocytes and Fc-receptor-bearing lymphocytes thought largely to represent non-B, non-T-lymphocytes. In 3 patients normal lymphocyte transformation was found with unspecific and specific mitogens, while the DNA-synthesis induced by unspecific mitogens was subnormal in the fourth patients. The lymphocyte-mediated PHA-induced cytotoxicity against target cells in vitro was subnormal in 2 patients, while no depression was seen in antibody-dependent cytotoxicity mediated in vitro by lymphocytes (K-cells). It is concluded that considerable immunological abnormalities are associated with pure red cell aplasia, and the possible significance of this is discussed.
