Organization and evolution of the avian forebrain (2005)

Early 20th-century comparative anatomists regarded the avian telencephalon as largely consisting of a hypertrophied basal ganglia, with thalamotelencephalic circuitry thus being taken to be akin to thalamostriatal circuitry in mammals. Although this view has been disproved for more than 40 years, only with the recent replacement of the old telencephalic terminology that perpetuated this view by a new terminology reflecting more accurate understanding of avian brain organization has the modern view of avian forebrain organization begun to become more widely appreciated. The modern view, reviewed in the present article, recognizes that the avian basal ganglia occupies no more of the telencephalon than is typically the case in mammals, and that it plays a role in motor control and motor learning as in mammals. Moreover, the vast majority of the telencephalon in birds is pallial in nature and, as true of cerebral cortex in mammals, provides the substrate for the substantial perceptual and cognitive abilities evident among birds. While the evolutionary relationship of the pallium of the avian telencephalon and its thalamic input to mammalian cerebral cortex and its thalamic input remains a topic of intense interest, the evidence currently favors the view that they had a common origin from forerunners in the stem amniotes ancestral to birds and mammals.
Experimental Evidence for the Existence of the Ti 3 B 4 Phase (1986)

Experimental evidence for the formation of Ti 3 B 4 with an orthorhombic Ta 3 B 4 ‐type structure is presented. This phase forms by a peritectic reaction between TiB 2 and liquid at ∼2200°C and is stable to temperatures at least as low as 1690°C, the lowest temperature at which samples were annealed. No evidence was found to indicate the presence of a second high‐temperature form of this phase, as has been reported in the literature.
Real-time Grid and DER Co-simulation Platform for Validating Large-scale DER Control Schemes (2021)

Distributed energy resources (DERs) such as responsive loads and energy storage systems are valuable resources available to grid operators for balancing supply-demand mismatches via load coordination. However, consumer acceptance of load coordination schemes depends on ensuring quality of service (QoS), which embodies device-level constraints. Since each device has its own internal energy state, the effect of QoS on the fleet can be cast as fleet-wide energy limits within which the aggregate "state of charge" (SoC) must be actively maintained. This requires coordination of DERs that is cognizant of the SoC, responsive to grid conditions, and depends on fast communication networks. To that effect, this paper presents a novel real-time grid-and-DER co-simulation platform for validating advanced DER coordination schemes and characterizing the capability of such a DER fleet. In particular, we present how the co-simulation platform is suitable for: i) testing real-time performance of a large fleet of DERs in delivering advanced grid services, including frequency regulation; ii) online state estimation to characterize the corresponding SoC of a large fleet of DERs; and iii) incorporating practical limitations of DERs and communications and analyzing the effects on fleet-wide performance. To illustrate these benefits of the presented grid-DER co-simulation platform, we employ the advanced DER coordination scheme called packetized energy management (PEM), which is a novel device-driven, asynchronous, and randomizing control paradigm for DERs. A fleet of thousands of PEM-enabled DERs are then added to a realistic and dynamical model of the Vermont transmission system to complete validation of the co-simulation platform.
Amylin is an agonist of the renal porcine calcitonin receptor. (1994)

The cloned renal porcine calcitonin (pCT) receptor cDNA expressed by transient transfection in COS-1 cells or stable transfection in HEK-293 cells was assayed for interaction with CT, amylin, and CT gene-related peptide. Both [125I]salmon CT ([125I]sCT) and [125I]rat amylin displayed specific binding to transfected cells, and in both cases, pCT and rat amylin were equipotent in competing for binding. sCT was most potent in binding competition assays, whereas human CT and rat or human CT gene-related peptide did not compete. Despite the greater apparent affinity of sCT for receptor binding, sCT, pCT, and rat amylin had similar efficacies in stimulating the production of cAMP in the stably transfected cell line (EC50, 0.5-1.6 x 10(-9) M). These results contrasted with those obtained with the rat C1a CT receptor, for which amylin did not compete for [125I]sCT binding and stimulated cAMP production only at high concentrations. These results show that pCT and amylin interact with similar potencies with the pCT receptor and suggest that amylin may act as a natural ligand for this receptor.
Competition between vinylidene rearrangement and 1,2-insertion of carbon-disubstituted internal alkynes at a Cp*Ir(iii) complex (2015)

Competition between vinylidene rearrangement/1,1-insertion and 1,2-alkyne insertion into the Ir-Ar bond of [Cp*Ir(ppy-F4)](+) was observed on reaction with diarylacetylenes. The former process afforded the iridacycle 2via the subsequent 1,4-Ir migration, whereas the latter led to the pyridoisoquinolinium complex 4. Detailed analysis revealed that 4 isomerizes to 2 by heating at 50 °C.
Penetrating Neck Trauma in Children: An Urban Hospital's Experience (2000)

Penetrating neck trauma in children may lead to potentially life-threatening injuries. Selective management of penetrating head and neck injuries in children can be a safe and effective policy in an experienced trauma center.
QoS support for bursty traffic in noisy channel via periodic reservations (2014)

The growth of the number of devices working at the same area, overlapping networks and multihop data transmission degrade the efficiency of contention based channel access. A number of deterministic channel access methods introduced in recent Wi-Fi standards allow to reserve a set of periodical time intervals, during which a single station can access channel without contention. Providing collision free transmission, these methods are favourable for real-time multimedia traffic which demands high quality of service (QoS). However, QoS provisioning for multimedia transmission is significantly complicated by the bursty nature of multimedia traffic and random noise inherent to wireless channels. In this paper, we propose an analytical model of multimedia transmission via periodic reservations considering both multimedia traffic bursty nature and random noise. The model can be used to find reservation parameters which allow to meet QoS requirements while transmitting multimedia data.
Inside Cover: A Pd@Zeolite Catalyst for Nitroarene Hydrogenation with High Product Selectivity by Sterically Controlled Adsorption in the Zeolite Micropores (Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 33/2017) (2017)

Palladium nanoparticles were fixed inside zeolite crystals to obtain a catalyst with superior selectivity for the hydrogenation of substituted nitroarenes with multiple reducible groups. In their Communication on page 9747 ff., L. Wang, F.-S. Xiao, and co-workers show that the high selectivity is due to the sterically controlled adsorption of the nitroarenes on the palladium nanoparticles within the zeolite micropores.

Protective actions of salvianolic acid A on hepatocyte injured by peroxidationin vitro (2000)

Salvianolic radix, one of the most commonly used traditional Chinese herbs, was widely studied about its actions against liver injury and fibrosis, and was one of the focuses of recent research[1,2]. Salvianolic acid-A (SA-A) was an aqueous soluble component of Salvianolic radix. In our previous work[2], SA-A was found to have protective effects against liver injury and fibrosis induced by carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) in rats. In order to investigate the effect of SA-A on peroxidation in hepatocytes, we induced the injured hepatocyte model by CCl4 fumigation in vitro, treated the cell model with SA-A or aqueous soluble vitamin E (Vitamin E), the latter served as the control drug, and observed the influences of the drugs on the functions of the hepatocytes injured by peroxidation.
Non-uraninite Products of Microbial U(VI) Reduction (2010)

A promising remediation approach to mitigate subsurface uranium contamination is the stimulation of indigenous bacteria to reduce mobile U(VI) to sparingly soluble U(IV). The product of microbial uranium reduction is often reported as the mineral uraninite. Here, we show that the end products of uranium reduction by several environmentally relevant bacteria (Gram-positive and Gram-negative) and their spores include a variety of U(IV) species other than uraninite. U(IV) products were prepared in chemically variable media and characterized using transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) to elucidate the factors favoring/inhibiting uraninite formation and to constrain molecular structure/composition of the non-uraninite reduction products. Molecular complexes of U(IV) were found to be bound to biomass, most likely through P-containing ligands. Minor U(IV)-orthophosphates such as ningyoite [CaU(PO(4))(2)], U(2)O(PO(4))(2), and U(2)(PO(4))(P(3)O(10)) were observed in addition to uraninite. Although factors controlling the predominance of these species are complex, the presence of various solutes was found to generally inhibit uraninite formation. These results suggest a new paradigm for U(IV) in the subsurface, i.e., that non-uraninite U(IV) products may be found more commonly than anticipated. These findings are relevant for bioremediation strategies and underscore the need for characterizing the stability of non-uraninite U(IV) species in natural settings.
Nano-Composites: Relationships Between Nano-Structure and Mechanical Properties: Phase II (2006)

Abstract : This work aims to understand and model the structure/property relationships of polymer nanocomposites, based upon thermosetting epoxy polymers that are widely used as adhesives and matrices for fibre-reinforced composites. The work concentrates on investigating the mechanical and fracture properties of multiphase materials (both bulk materials and reinforced fibre-composites), and on modelling the structure/property relationships of nanocomposites. The present work shows that a substantial increase in toughness may be achieved when nano- SiO2 particles are well dispersed in a hot-cured single-part epoxy polymer. Most importantly, the synergistic effect of having a multiphase structure based upon both nano-SiO2 particles and rubbery particles is clearly demonstrated. The use of nano-SiO2 particles and rubbery particles to give ?hybrid-toughened? epoxy polymers is shown to give a range of novel matrices which lead to an increased delamination toughness of the resulting carbon-fibre reinforced-plastic (CFRP) composites. Also, it is noteworthy, that the presence of even a relatively high concentration of the nano-SiO2 particles does not lead to a decrease in the modulus of the composite. Nor does it lead to a significant increase in the viscosity of the epoxy resin, which would preclude the use of low-cost manufacturing routes, such as a vacuum-assisted resin-transfer moulding (VARTM) process.

Mid-infrared supercontinuum generation using lead-bismuth-gallium-oxide glass-based photonic crystal fibers pumped at 1560 nm (2014)

In this work we present our results on supercontinuum (SC) generation using a photonic crystal fiber (PCF) fabricated from lead-bismuth-gallium-oxide glass (PBG-08). Due to high refractive index, high nonlinearity and high transmittance, the PBG-08 glass-based fibers seem to be excellent media for broad supercontinuum generation in the infrared spectral region. In our experiment, a short-length piece of PCF (6 cm) is pumped by a femtosecond fiber laser system, delivering 540 fs pulses at 60 MHz repetition rate and 2.75 W of maximum average power. This compact and cost-effective system allows to generate supercontinuum spanning from 900 to 2400 nm.
Amplifier Circuits (1973)

Much of the discussion in the rest of this book is concerned with the terminal behaviour of operational amplifier units. It is however likely that the engineer will want to look inside the ‘can’ for the purpose of comparing differing types, the student for a knowledge of how the engineering is done and the teacher to explain the constraints on the terminal quantities.
Electron transport in InP at high electric fields (1983)

The high field (&amp;gt;30 kV/cm) electron drift velocity in n-type (100) InP has been measured at temperatures from 95 to 400 K and electric field strengths up to 215 kV/cm using a fixed frequency (7.54 GHz) microwave time-of-flight technique. The velocity decreases monotonically with increasing electric field strength at all temperatures over the entire range of field strengths investigated. At 300 K the electron drift velocity in InP is 1.2 times the velocity in GaAs at 150 kV/cm, and increases to 1.34 times the velocity in GaAs when the field is lowered to 30 kV/cm.
A New Porous Carbon Material made from Rice Bran (2003)

A new porous carbon material has been developed utilizing a natural porous structure of rice bran. Theoriginal porous carbon material (rice bran carbon, RBC) are manufactured by mixing the defatted rice branwith a phenol resin, pressure forming, drying, and then carbonizing at 900°C. Therefore, the RBC has aporous structure. In this study, the authors investigated new manufacturing processes to strengthen the RBC. As a preliminary, the RB carbon particles are manufactured impregnating a phenol resin (25wt.%) with thedefatted rice bran and carbonizing at 900°C. In the first strengthening process, the mixture of the carbonized RB carbon particles and a phenol resin are then pressure formed to make a disk-shape RB carbon (CRB) Since the RB carbon particles are brittle and therefore they are broken during the pressure forming, the poresize can be smaller in the CRB than in the RBC. In the second strengthening process, the mixture is in jectionmolded to make a rectangular RB carbon (IMCRB). The pore size is also smaller in the IMCRB. Thecompressive strength, bending strength and fracture toughness are increased in the both strengthened materials.

Sie befasst sich mit der Entwicklung eines kommunikationsbasierten Querverkehrsassistenten im Fahrzeug. Das Ziel dieser Assistenz besteht in der Erhöhung der Sicherheit an Kreuzungen. An Kreuzungen ereignen sich in Deutschland mit 36% die meisten Unfälle mit Personenschaden. Grundlage für die Assistenz stellt eine Positionsbestimmung der Fahrzeuge, der Datenaustausch zwischen den Fahrzeugen mittels Fahrzeug-Fahrzeug- Kommunikation, die Berechnung des Kollisionsrisikos sowie die Beurteilung des Fahrerverhaltens dar. Im Fokus steht die Auseinandersetzung mit unscharfen Realdaten, die in der Praxis insbesondere durch Messfehler bei der Positionsbestimmung auftreten. Der Querverkehrsassistent wird auf Funktionalität überprüft und im Rahmen von praktischen Fahrversuchen erprobt. Am Beispiel verschiedener Warnstrategien werden die Wirksamkeit der Assistenz zur Unfallvermeidung sowie die Grundakzeptanz der Assistenz untersucht.
Cost-benefit analysis of demand side management for residential and commercial buildings (2014)

This report discusses the cost and benefit of demand side management for residential and commercial buildings. The purpose of demand side management is to encourage consumers to use less energy during peak hours, and adjust the electricity usage to off-peak periods. Microgrid is used to manage demand side, and solar photovoltaic (PV) is regarded as distributed generation within the microgrid. Simplified levelized cost of energy (SLCOE) is used to calculate price to charge for solar power, and Time-of-Use (ToU) pricing system is set to charge electricity consumers. The cost benefit of demand side management in the project is calculated and compared by the different consumers' bills. Time-of-Use pricing system makes the pricing of electric energy change every half an hour, according to the available PV generation and consumers' demand. Through changing the electricity price, the consumers' electricity usage patterns can be affected throughout a day to realize the purpose of demand side management. In this report, the current tariff is also introduced. Solar power is a renewable energy and environmental friendly energy. It can be predicted that more different other renewable generating sources will be used, and ToU pricing system will be integrated further, which can make demand side management more effective and economical.
Analysis of blood parameters and molecular endometrial markers during early reperfusion in two ovine models of uterus transplantation (2021)

The dissection of the veins is the trickiest step of Uterine transplantation (UTx). Performing the anastomosis of a single uterine vein could bring a therapeutic benefit and simplification of surgery and serve for managing unilateral venous thromboses. The objectives of this project were to evaluate the expression of early markers of ischemia-reperfusion and to compare findings following one or two vein anastomoses. Orthotopic uterine auto-transplantations were performed on an ovine model with anastomosis of either two (group 1) or one utero-ovarian veins (group 2). Blood gases, histology and ischemia- reperfusion markers transcripts (PTGS2, IL6, IL8, SOD2, C3, BAX/BCL2 and TLR4) were analyzed as well as PTGS2 protein expression using Western Blot and fluorescence immunolocalization on endometrial biopsies after 3h of reperfusion. Ten ewes were included in the experimentation, 4 were in group1, 3 in group 2, the others being sham operated controls. No significant differences were observed between the two phenotypes. Based on these results, the anastomosis of one single uterine vein appears to be an approach consistent with short-term graft survival. Further experiments will be needed to confirm the reliability of this approach, especially the long-term follow-up of the uterine graft including its ability to support gestation to term.
Biotin synthase mechanism: on the origin of sulphur (1998)

Biotin synthase catalyses the last step of the biosynthesis of biotin in microorganisms and plants. The active protein isolated from Bacillus sphaericus and Escherichia coli contains an iron-sulphur (FeS) cluster. The native enzymes were depleted of their iron and inorganic sulphide and the resulting apoenzymes were chemically reconstituted with FeCl3 and Na2[34S] to give labelled (Fe34S) enzymes. These enzymes were functional and when assayed in vitro produced labelled biotin containing about 65% of 34S. These data strongly support the hypothesis that the sulphur of biotin is derived from the (FeS) centre of the enzyme.
Splanchnic vein thrombosis in myeloproliferative neoplasms: risk factors for recurrences in a cohort of 181 patients (2016)

We retrospectively studied 181 patients with polycythaemia vera (n=67), essential thrombocythaemia (n=67) or primary myelofibrosis (n=47), who presented a first episode of splanchnic vein thrombosis (SVT). Budd-Chiari syndrome (BCS) and portal vein thrombosis were diagnosed in 31 (17.1%) and 109 (60.3%) patients, respectively; isolated thrombosis of the mesenteric or splenic veins was detected in 18 and 23 cases, respectively. After this index event, the patients were followed for 735 patient years (pt-years) and experienced 31 recurrences corresponding to an incidence rate of 4.2 per 100 pt-years. Factors associated with a significantly higher risk of recurrence were BCS (hazard ratio (HR): 3.03), history of previous thrombosis (HR: 3.62), splenomegaly (HR: 2.66) and leukocytosis (HR: 2.8). Vitamin K-antagonists (VKA) were prescribed in 85% of patients and the recurrence rate was 3.9 per 100 pt-years, whereas in the small fraction (15%) not receiving VKA more recurrences (7.2 per 100 pt-years) were reported. Intracranial and extracranial major bleeding was recorded mainly in patients on VKA and the corresponding rate was 2.0 per 100 pt-years. In conclusion, despite anticoagulation treatment, the recurrence rate after SVT in myeloproliferative neoplasms is high and suggests the exploration of new avenues of secondary prophylaxis with new antithrombotic drugs and JAK-2 inhibitors.
Effective strategy for autonomous navigation without prior knowledge in FastSLAM (2009)

This paper describes the efficient strategy for planning for autonomous mobile robot navigation using the information which is the resulting probabilistic distribution of position and map acquired by solving the SLAM. In order to estimate good robots position and map, we used a highly efficient variant of the grid based version of the FastSLAM algorithm. D* Lite algorithm for global path planning, which has the effective replanning at the partial cost field changed, was employed. Because the acquired map in the SLAM is also grid based which indicates the probabilistic existence of the obstacles in each grid, and SLAMs uncertain grid map is utilized to compute the cost field for path planning. In this research, it was proven that the mobile robot could carry out autonomous navigation in the outdoor field without prior information. This paper presented that the mobile robot reached the predefined goal with estimating good position and map simultaneously.
