Impaired glucose-insulin metabolism in males with obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome (2003)

The aim of this cross-sectional study was to evaluate the frequency of type-2 diabetes and impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) in a large clinic-based male population presenting various degrees of obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome (OSAS) and to analyse the relationship between OSAS and glucose-insulin metabolism. Male patients (n=595) with suspected OSAS underwent both nocturnal polysomnography and a 2-h oral glucose-tolerance test with measurements of fasting and postload blood glucose and plasma insulin. Insulin sensitivity was evaluated by the ratio of fasting glucose to fasting insulin. OSAS was diagnosed in 494 patients, while 101 patients were nonapnoeic snorers. Type-2 diabetes was present in 30.1% of OSAS patients and 13.9% of nonapnoeic snorers. IGT was diagnosed in 20.0% of OSAS patients and 13.9% of nonapnoeic snorers. Fasting and postload blood glucose increased with severity of sleep apnoea. Insulin sensitivity decreased with increasing severity of sleep apnoea. In addition to body mass index and age, the apnoea/hypopnoea index independently influenced postload blood glucose and insulin sensitivity. The authors conclude that in a clinic-based sample of patients, obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome is associated with a high frequency of type-2 diabetes and impaired glucose tolerance. The relationship between sleep-disordered breathing and impaired glucose-insulin metabolism is independent of obesity and age.

Third Party Liability (1994)

The expectations of users of financial statements have risen in recent years and this phenomenon has impacted directly on auditors who are now becoming increasingly prone to third party action. The duty of care expected of an auditor has been established for some time and has been refined by a number of judgments over the years. In respect of possible third party liability, the concepts of special relationship, proximity and reasonable foreseeability have been examined by the courts through various cases. Despite the principles established in the widely reported British Caparo case, recent legal developments in Australia have cast doubt on its significance in protecting auditors from third party action. The potential for third party liability is an issue that will remain a continuing concern for auditors in the foreseeable future.
Performance Measurements on a 128-Node Butterfly Parallel Processor. (1985)

Vocalizations produced by developing young early in life have simple acoustic features and are thought to be innate. Complex forms of early vocal learning are less likely to evolve in young altricial songbirds because the forebrain vocal-learning circuit is underdeveloped during the period when early vocalizations are produced. However, selective pressure experienced in early postnatal life may lead to early vocal learning that is likely controlled by a simpler brain circuit. We found the food begging calls produced by fledglings of the brown-headed cowbird (Molothrus ater), a generalist avian brood parasite, induced the expression of several immediate early genes and early circuit innervation in a forebrain vocal-motor pathway that is later used for vocal imitation. The forebrain neural activity was correlated with vocal intensity and variability of begging calls that appears to allow cowbirds to vocally match host nestmates. The begging-induced forebrain circuits we observed in fledgling cowbirds were not detected in nonparasitic passerines, including species that are close relatives to the cowbird. The involvement of forebrain vocal circuits during fledgling begging and its association with vocal learning plasticity may be an adaptation that provides young generalist brood parasites with a flexible signaling strategy to procure food from a wide range of heterospecific host parents.

A fingerprint of metal-oxide powders: energy-resolved distribution of electron traps (2016)

Here we propose a method for the identification of metal-oxide powders with the energy-resolved distribution of electron traps and conduction-band bottom position reflecting a surface structure and a bulk structure, respectively, as a fingerprint, based on the degree of coincidence for a given pair of samples, measured using newly developed reversed double-beam photoacoustic spectroscopy.
Serological differentiation between cystic and alveolar echinococcosis by use of recombinant larval antigens (1993)

Two recombinant antigens of the larval stages of Echinococcus granulosus and Echinococcus multilocularis, termed EG55 and EM10, respectively, were applied for serodiagnosis and serological differentiation between parasitic infections caused by the metacestode tissue of both tapeworms. Antigen EM10 is synthesized by E. multilocularis larvae. Antigen EG55 represents the recombinant form of the low-molecular-weight subunit of antigen B, which is an Echinococcus genus-specific antigen. Both recombinant antigens were expressed as glutathione S-transferase fusion proteins. A sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay with monoclonal antibodies against EM10 and EG55 as capture reagents for the recombinant antigens was established and was evaluated with 74 serum samples from patients with histologically confirmed alveolar echinococcosis and 63 serum samples from patients with histologically confirmed cystic echinococcosis. A sensitivity of 93.2% and a specificity of 96.8% were achieved for the serodiagnosis of alveolar echinococcosis. Cystic echinococcosis could be detected with a sensitivity of 89.1% and a specificity of 98.6%.
Experimental Assessment of Temperature Coefficient Theories for Silicon Solar Cells (2015)

This article reports on experimental measurements aimed at assessing general theoretical expressions of temperature coefficients in the case of crystalline silicon solar cells. The relevance of a recently proposed relation between the temperature dependence of the open-circuit voltage and the external radiative efficiency of photovoltaic (PV) devices is demonstrated. It is also shown that the cells made of indirect bandgap semiconductors with insufficient light trapping have unusual temperature sensitivities of short-circuit current and open-circuit voltage. In addition, explanations for the observed discrepancies between the predicted and measured temperature coefficients of fill factors are suggested.
Thermostability of Hen Egg Yolk Granules: Contribution of Native Structure of Granules (2000)

ABSTRACT: To understand why protein granules resist heat treatment, we measured denaturation, viscosity, and solubility of heated native and disrupted granules and estimated the effect on their emulsifying ability. Granule disruption by sodium chloride caused protein solubility to drop dramatically and viscosity to rise sharply above 72° C. Solubility of native granules was unaffected by heat, and viscosity increased slightly. Electrophoresis revealed that, whatever the granules structure, low‐density lipoproteins (LDL) and α‐high‐density lipoproteins (α‐HDL) were denatured, whereas phosvitin and β‐HDL were resistant to heat. Disrupted granules provided weaker emulsifying ability than native granules. The structure of native granules cannot prevent protein denaturation but can avoid aggregation of LDL and α‐HDL from different granules.
Mechanically flexible low-leakage multilayer gate dielectrics for flexible organic thin film transistors (2008)

The incorporation of an ultrathin, atomic layer deposited HfO2 layer in between the spin-coated poly-4-vinyl phenol (PVP) organic layers in the laminated multilayer gate dielectric for pentacene organic thin film transistors on a flexible substrate reduced the gate leakage current by three to four orders of magnitude and thereby significantly enhanced the current on/off ratio up to ≅104-fold. Cyclic bending testing indicated that the electrical characteristics of the device with the PVP∕HfO2∕PVP trilayer gate dielectric stack were superior to those of the device with the single PVP gate dielectrics due to the improved mechanical and electrical stabilities of the gate dielectric.

Temporal trends over 3 decades and intrafamilial clustering of HPV types in Swedish patients with cervical cancer in situ (2009)

Information on HPV type distribution in cervical cancer in situ in different populations is needed for evaluation of prophylactic vaccination programs targeting HPV 16 and 18. In our study, the HPV type prevalence in 1,079 Swedish women from multicase families diagnosed with cervical cancer in situ 1965-1993 was investigated using real-time PCR and archival tissue material. HPV type information was obtained for 974 samples. Among these, HPV 16 (61%) was the dominant type followed by HPV 33/52/58 (24%), HPV 31 (13%) and HPV 18/45 (12%). The detected prevalence of HPV 16 among cancer in situ decreased by 13% over the study period while the group of low frequency high-risk types increased. Related women were not prone to infection by the same type. These data suggest that the prevalence of individual HPV types has changed over time in Swedish patients with cervical cancer in situ. Large-scale studies of pathology biobank materials will enable further insight into the temporal changes of individual HPV types, as baseline information to properly evaluate the effect of vaccine programs. The findings also indicate that genetic susceptibility to cervical cancer operates through general and not type specific susceptibility to HPV infection.
Virus-Induced Ca 2+ Influx Extends Survival of West Nile Virus-Infected Cells (2010)

West Nile virus (WNV) infection leads to rapid and sustained Ca(2+) influx. This influx was observed with different strains of WNV and in different types of cells. Entry during virion endocytosis as well as through calcium channels contributed to the Ca(2+) influx observed in WNV-infected cells. Ca(2+) influx was not detected after infection with vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) and occurred only through endocytosis in Sindbis virus-infected cells. Caspase 3 cleavage and activation of several kinases, including focal adhesion kinase (FAK), mitogen-activated extracellular signal-regulated protein kinase (ERK1/2), and protein-serine kinase B alpha (Akt), at early times after WNV infection were shown to be dependent on Ca(2+) influx. Although the activation of these kinases was sustained in virus-infected cells throughout infection, UV-inactivated WNV induced only a transient activation of FAK and ERK1/2 at early times after infection. The Ca(2+)-dependent FAK activation observed in WNV-infected cells was not mediated by alphavbeta3 integrins. Reduction of Ca(2+) influx at early times of infection by various treatments decreased the viral yield and delayed both the early transient caspase 3 cleavage and the activation of FAK, Akt, and ERK signaling. The results indicate that Ca(2+) influx is required for early infection events needed for efficient viral replication, possibly for virus-induced rearrangement of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) membrane. Increased caspase 3 cleavage at both early (transient) and late times of infection correlated with decreased activation of the FAK and ERK1/2 pathways, indicating a role for these kinases in extending the survival of flavivirus-infected cells.
Gli2 functions in FGF signaling during antero-posterior patterning (2000)

Patterning along the anteroposterior (A-P) axis involves the interplay of secreted and transcription factors that specify cell fates in the mesoderm and neuroectoderm. While FGF and homeodomain proteins have been shown to play different roles in posterior specification, the network coordinating their effects remains elusive. Here we have analyzed the function of Gli zinc-finger proteins in mesodermal A-P patterning. We find that Gli2 is sufficient to induce ventroposterior development, functioning in the FGF-brachyury regulatory loop. Gli2 directly induces brachyury, a gene required and sufficient for mesodermal development, and Gli2 is in turn induced by FGF signaling. Moreover, the homeobox gene Xhox3, a critical determinant of posterior development, is also directly regulated by Gli2. Gli3, but not Gli1, has an activity similar to that of Gli2 and is expressed in ventroposterior mesoderm after Gli2. These findings uncover a novel function of Gli proteins, previously only known to mediate hedgehog signals, in the maintenance and patterning of the embryonic mesoderm. More generally, our results suggest a molecular basis for an integration of FGF and hedgehog inputs in Gli-expressing cells that respond to these signals.
Weak antilocalization of high mobility holes in a strained Germanium quantum well heterostructure (2014)

We present the observation of weak antilocalization due to the Rashba spin-orbit interaction, through magnetoresistance measurements performed at low temperatures and low magnetic fields on a high mobility (777,000 cm(2) V(-1) s(-1)) p-Ge/SiGe quantum well heterostructure. The measured magnetoresistance over a temperature range of 0.44 to 11.2 K shows an apparent transition from weak localization to weak antilocalization. The temperature dependence of the zero field conductance correction is indicative of weak localization using the simplest model, despite the clear existence of weak antilocalization. The Rashba interaction present in this material, and the absence of the un-tuneable Dresselhaus interaction, indicates that Ge quantum well heterostructures are highly suitable for semiconductor spintronic applications, particularly the proposed spin field effect transistor.
Neuronal T-type α1H Calcium Channels Induce Neuritogenesis and Expression of High-Voltage-Activated Calcium Channels in the NG108–15 Cell Line (2002)

Neuronal differentiation involves both morphological and electrophysiological changes, which depend on calcium influx. Voltage-gated calcium channels (VGCCs) represent a major route for calcium entry into neurons. The recently cloned low-voltage-activated T-type calcium channels (T-channels) are the first class of VGCCs functionally expressed in most developing neurons, as well as in neuroblastoma cell lines, but their roles in neuronal development are yet unknown. Here, we document the part played by T-channels in neuronal differentiation. Using NG108-15, a cell line that recapitulates early steps of neuronal differentiation, we demonstrate that blocking T-currents by nickel, mibefradil, or the endogenous cannabinoid anandamide prevents neuritogenesis without affecting neurite outgrowth. Similar results were obtained using antisense oligodeoxynucleotides directed against the alpha1H T-channel subunit. Furthermore, we describe that inhibition of alpha1H T-channel activity impairs concomitantly, but independently, both high-voltage-activated calcium channel expression and neuritogenesis, providing strong evidence for a dual role of T-channels in both morphological and electrical changes at early stages of neuronal differentiation.
27.12 MHz isolated high voltage gain multi-level resonant DC-DC converter (2015)

This paper demonstrates a high efficiency, high power density, and fast transient response dc-dc converter design capable of providing a high-voltage isolated output from a low-voltage input. Specifically, we demonstrate two 100 W, 2000 Vdc proof of concept prototype dc-dc converters operating at a switching frequency of 27.12 MHz with input voltages of 40 V and 100 V respectively. Capacitive isolation provides an efficient means of allowing for multiple rectified outputs to be combined serially without exceeding semi-conductor device limits. Further, it can provide a more efficient means of impedance matching at frequencies of 10s of MHz than traditional methods such as passive matching networks or transformers by the reduction of or elimination of those stages altogether.
An efficient convolutional coding/decoding strategy for channels with memory (1995)

Many digital communication channels are affected by errors that tend to occur in bursts. A great deal of work has been devoted to finding good burst-error-correcting codes and developing burst-error-correcting schemes. However, burst-error-correcting codes are generally not effective for long bursts. Some burst-error-correcting schemes suffer long delay in decoding. Others are very sensitive to random errors in the guard space. Most of these schemes are not adaptive to channel conditions. A new adaptive scheme is proposed to overcome these drawbacks. The scheme employs a combination of two complementary punctured convolutional (CPC) codes. One of the codes is used for burst detection and for channel state estimation, and both codes are used for error correction. The proposed scheme is analyzed over a two state Markov chain channel model. Unlike existing burst-error-correcting schemes, it is shown that the proposed scheme is adaptive to channel conditions and less sensitive to errors in the guard space. For the same delay, the proposed scheme offers better performance than the interleaving schemes. When the channel is heavily corrupted by bursts, the improvement is even more pronounced.

PERFORMANCE EVALUATION OF MISSOURI'S 6-IN. BARRIER CURB UNDER W-BEAM GUARDRAIL (1994)

One full-scale vehicle crash test was performed on Missouri's 6-in. (15.24-cm) barrier curb under W-beam guardrail. Test MO6C-1 was conducted with a 4500 lb (2041 kg) test vehicle with target impact conditions of 60 mph (96.6 km/h) and 25 deg. The potential safety performance degradation of using a 6-in. (15.24-cm) barrier curb under a standard G4(1S) W-beam guardrail installation was evaluated to determine the effects of the curb on vehicle stability during a redirective guardrail impact test. The test was conducted and reported in accordance with the requirements specified in the Recommended Procedures for the Safety Performance Evaluation of Highway Appurtenances, National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP) Report No. 230. The safety performance of Missouri's 6-in. (15.24-cm) barrier curb under W-beam guardrail was determined to be acceptable according to the NCHRP 230 criteria.
Interfering diffusive photon-density waves with an absorbing-fluorescent inhomogeneity (2001)

This work reports an investigation of the fluorescent field re-emitted by an object embedded in a highly scattering media illuminated by two-interfering sources. Simulations in the frequency domain with a finite difference method solving the diffusion equation were performed. The media considered had features typical of a soft-compressed breast. An absorbing-fluorescent inhomogeneity was embedded in the center of the slab. A qualitative study of the re-emitted field was achieved. The re-emitted field was found to possess unique features characteristic of the two-interfering sources excitation, i.e. null intensity when the object was between the two sources and a 180 degrees transition crossing this position. Those features, when performing a scan of the two sources, permitted accurate localization of the inhomogeneity. Moreover, even when the detector was not placed on the mid-plane of the two sources, the re-emitted field still exhibited the interfering characteristic pattern, which was not seen at the excitation wavelength. Thus, for such configurations, the re-emitted field still possessed the specific sensitivity of phased array emission conversely to the excitation wavelength.
