IS JHRM Style Can Be Effectively Implemented In Developing Nations of ASIA (The Case of five Pakistan, Bangladesh, Afghanistan, Nepal, Vietnam,) (2013)

In this research work Impact of JHRM Japanese Human recourse Management practices were trying to implement on different countries among developing nation in Asian continent. The countries for this research study were Pakistan, Afghanistan .Nepal, Vietnam, and Bangladesh. The reason for selecting these countries among Asian continent is because of their response rate, information in hand from different sources, and most importantly their ranking among developing nation as well as their importance to international community. As all of the above mention countries facing serious threat on its national as well as international front in order to solve these problem we are trying to evaluate the importance of HR from Japanese prospective as the same circumstances were there before WWII but when there concentrate on their HR Japanese become the leading country for other nations. For this purpose we select 20 firms from each countries and data was collected through published material as well as their HDI and HR departments. In order to get more comprehensive data .A well designed questioners was sent to respective department via email. The main concept was derived from (JSM) and it is implemented to all the above mention countries.Chai square test was used for testing the hypothesis. The result shows different attributes after analyzing the data in all of the above mention countries. As in case of Afghanistan, Pakistan and Bangladesh the major problems in order to implement these JHRM practices  was bureaucratic nature of government, centralized government, top to down decision making style, and institutiolized corruption are the major problem in way of implanting JHRM style. While in case of Vietnam, Bangladesh when JHRM important feature regarding Quality was investigated the results shows that although there is great desire to implement it but the main problem is lack of knowledge and no training & development concept in this regard. Hence from the current research we can conclude that although there is a chance to implement JHRM style in these developing countries but first of all we should removed all the barriers in its effectiveness.

Development of an integrated in-situ remediation technology. Topical report for task No. 12 and 13 entitled: Large scale field test of the Lasagna{trademark} process, September 26, 1994--May 25, 1996 (1997)

Contamination in low permeability soils poses a significant technical challenge to in-situ remediation efforts. Poor accessibility to the contaminants and difficulty in delivery of treatment reagents have rendered existing in-situ treatments such as bioremediation, vapor extraction, pump and treat rather ineffective when applied to low permeability soils present at many contaminated sites. This technology is an integrated in-situ treatment in which established geotechnical methods are used to instant degradation zones directly in the contaminated soil and electroosmosis is utilized to move the contaminants back and forth through those zones until the treatment is completed. This topical report summarizes the results of the field experiment conducted at the Paducah Gaseous Diffusion Plant in Paducah, KY. The test site covered 15 feet wide by 10 feet across and 15 feet deep with steel panels as electrodes and wickdrains containing granular activated carbon as treatment zone& The electrodes and treatment zones were installed utilizing innovative adaptation of existing emplacement technologies. The unit was operated for four months, flushing TCE by electroosmosis from the soil into the treatment zones where it was trapped by the activated carbon. The scale up from laboratory units to this field scale was very successful with respect to electrical parameters as weft as electroosmotic flow. Soil samples taken throughout the site before and after the test showed over 98% TCE removal, with most samples showing greater than 99% removal.

Determination of the systematic and random measurement error in an LC-FTICR mass spectrometry analysis of a partially characterized complex peptide mixture (2005)

In high-throughput proteomics, a promising approach presently being explored is the use of liquid chromatography coupled to Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry (LC-FTICR-MS) to provide measurements of the masses of tryptic peptides in complex mixtures, which can then be used to identify the proteins which gave rise to those peptides. In order to apply this method, it is necessary to account for any systematic measurement error, and it is useful to have an estimate of the random error in measured masses. In this investigation, a complex mixture of peptides derived from a partially characterized sample was analyzed by LC-FTICR-MS. Through the application of a Bayesian probability model of the data, partial knowledge of the composition of the sample is sufficient both to determine any systematic error and to estimate the random error in measured masses.
The Concept of Minimum Leaf Number (1956)

Several quotations of minimum leaf numbers for floral initiation are given in the literature, but it was thought desirable to obtain further evidence that they do represent, as claimed by Purvis and Gregory for rye, obligatory vegetative growth preceding the attainment of Klebs's Bl€hreife . The effects of mineral starvation on leaf number, as in Purvis's original experiments, were therefore tested with Xanthium, Eupatorium adenophorum , and Celosia argentea . In each of these, near-constant leaf numbers are characteristic of plants induced to flower rapidly by continuous short-day treatment. In each, treatments such as starvation which retard vegetative growth do somewhat reduce the numbers. In Xanthium indeed, the concept of Bl€hreife is superfluous, for the 8 leaves to be accounted for could be explained as the primordia present in the seed plus the extra leaves initiated during daylength induction. For the other two plants, on the other hand, the sum of these is still many short of the required number, and for them a concept of Bl€hreife expressed by leaf number is retained, but with the admitted doubt whether all factors controlling their flowering are yet known.
Diels–Alder reactions and electrophilic substitutions with atypical regioselectivity enable functionalization of terminal rings of anthracene (2020)

Reversing the regioselectivity of the renowned Diels-Alder reaction by overriding the usual thermodynamic and kinetic governing factors has always been a formidable challenge to synthetic organic chemists. Anthracenes are well-known to undergo [4 + 2]-cycloadditions with dienophiles at their 9,10-positions (central ring) over 1,4-positions (terminal ring) guided by the relative aromatic stabilization energy of the two possible products, and also by harboring the largest orbital coefficients of the highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) at the 9,10-positions. We, herein, report a 1,4-selective [4 + 2]-cycloaddition strategy of 9,10-unsubstituted anthracenes by installing electron-donating substituents on the terminal rings which is heretofore unprecedented to the best of our knowledge. The developed synthetic strategy does not require any premeditated engagement of the 9,10-positions either with any sterically bulky or electron-withdrawing substituents and allows delicate calibration of the regioselectivity by modulating the electron-donating strength of the substituents on the terminal rings. Likewise, the regioselective functionalization of the terminal anthracene ring in electrophilic substitution reactions is demonstrated. A mechanistic rationale is offered with the aid of detailed computational studies, and finally, synthetic applications are presented.
Contrast media as carriers for local drug delivery Successful inhibition of neointimal proliferation in the porcine coronary stent model (2003)

First evidence is provided that using a contrast agent as solvent for a taxane constitutes a new drug delivery mechanism able to inhibit in-stent restenosis in the porcine restenosis model.
Inorganic Oxo Compounds React with Alkylating Agents: Implications for DNA Damage (2004)

Carcinogene entfernen: Dass anorganische Spezies wie Selen und Vanadium vor Krebs schützen können, ist wohlbekannt, doch das mechanistische Verständnis ist dürftig. Es wird gezeigt, dass anorganische Oxoverbindungen (z. B. [SeO4]2−, [VO4]3−) sowohl die DNA-Alkylierung verhindern können als auch Alkylierungsagentien entgiften, indem sie die Hydrolyse zu relativ harmlosen Alkoholen fördern (siehe Schema).
An Efficiency of Technologies and a Strategy for Synthesis of Integrated Life Support System Structure (2000)

&lt;div class="htmlview paragraph"&gt;The research conducted at NIICHIMMASH for the past several years in the area of Integrated Life Support System (ILSS) strategy development for technology efficiency analysis and system structure synthesis is reviewed in this paper.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class="htmlview paragraph"&gt;This study proposes an generalized efficiency model for ILSS development, which includes global, thermodynamic and local quantitative and qualitative factors.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class="htmlview paragraph"&gt;The research resulted in a strategy for the synthesis of ILSS structure based on evolutionary and integral- hypothhetical approaches. This strategy allows development of new system configurations, evaluation of existing ILSS effectiveness and considers decision marker's (DM) preferences.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class="htmlview paragraph"&gt;Uncertainty in the initial information about properties of the system or technology has a big influence on DM making decisions about future system appearance. Fuzzy set theory is used to define the uncertainty in the initial information. The approach is based on application of membership function to set tolerances on criteria values.&lt;/div&gt;
Time-based location techniques using inexpensive, unsynchronized clocks in wireless networks (2011)

The ability to measure location using time of flight in IEEE 802.11 networks is impeded by the standard clock resolution, imprecise synchronization of the 802.11 protocol, and the inaccuracy of available clocks. To achieve real-time location with accuracy goals of a few meters, we derive new consensus synchronization techniques for free-running clocks. Using consensus synchronization, we improve existing time of arrival (TOA) techniques and introduce new time difference of arrival (TDOA) techniques. With this common basis, we show how TOA is theoretically superior to TDOA. Using TOA measurements, we can locate wireless nodes that participate in the location system, and using TDOA measurements, we can locate nodes that do not participate. We demonstrate applications using off-the-shelf 802.11 hardware that can determine location to within 3m using simple, existing optimization methods. The synchronization techniques extend existing ones providing distributed synchronization for free-running clocks to cases where send times cannot be controlled and adjusted precisely, as in 802.11 networks. These location and synchronization techniques may be applied to transmitting wireless nodes using any communication protocol where cooperating nodes can produce send and receive timestamps.
Is clinical stage T2C prostate cancer intermediate- or high-risk disease? (2014)

110 Background: Clinical stage T2c (cT2c) is an indeterminate factor in the algorithm for prostate cancer (CaP) risk stratification. According to the D’Amico risk stratification and the American Urological Association (AUA) guidelines, cT2c is high−risk, whereas the National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) and EUA classify cT2c as intermediate−risk. Since determining whether cT2c is intermediate- or high-risk has implications for treatment, it is important to define what exact risk cT2c portends. Thus, we sought to assess whether cT2c tumors, without associated other high−risk factors (cT2c not otherwise specified (cT2c−nos)), behave as intermediate− or high−risk by analyzing biochemical recurrence (BCR) after radical prostatectomy (RP). Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 2,759 men who underwent RP from 1988 to 2011 from the Shared Equal Access Regional Cancer Hospital (SEARCH) database. Comparisons in time to BCR between cT2c−nos patients and intermediate−risk (prostate-specific antigen [PSA] 10 to 20 ng/ml or Gleason sum (GS) =7 or cT2b), and high−risk (PSA greater than 20 ng/ml, GS 8 to 10, cT3) patients was performed using log−rank test and Cox proportional hazards analyses. Given changes in CaP, we adjusted for year of surgery (continuous) and to adjust for case mix among centers contributing to SEARCH we included a categorical term for center. Results: A total of 99 men (4%) were classified as cT2c−nos. During a median follow-up of 66 months (IQR: 34−101 months), cT2c−nos patients had similar BCR risk as intermediate-risk (p=0.27), but significantly lower BCR risk versus high-risk patients (p&lt;0.001, Figure). After adjusting for year and center and compared to low-risk disease, the HRs for cT2c−nos patients was similar to those with intermediate-risk (HR 1.90 vs. 2.28). When specifically compared to intermediate-and high-risk patients, and after adjusting for year and center, cT2c−nos patients had outcomes comparable to intermediate−risk (p=0.44), but significantly better than high-risk patients (HR 0.55; 95%CI 0.38,0.78; p=0.001). Conclusions: BCR risk for patients with clinical stage T2c was comparable to men who had intermediate-risk disease and significantly better than men with high-risk CaP. These findings suggest men with cT2c disease should be offered treatment options for intermediate-risk CaP.
Pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics of khat: A controlled study (1994)

Our results provide objective evidence for the amphetamine-like stimulatory effects of khat leaves. These effects were closely similar to those observed after cathinone, 0.5 mg/kg body weight, although peak plasma concentrations of cathinone after khat were delayed.
Molecular Pathology of Neuro-AIDS (CNS-HIV) (2009)

The cognitive deficits in patients with HIV profoundly affect the quality of life of people living with this disease and have often been linked to the neuro-inflammatory condition known as HIV encephalitis (HIVE). With the advent of more effective anti-retroviral therapies, HIVE has shifted from a sub-acute to a chronic condition. The neurodegenerative process in patients with HIVE is characterized by synaptic and dendritic damage to pyramidal neurons, loss of calbindin-immunoreactive interneurons and myelin loss. The mechanisms leading to neurodegeneration in HIVE might involve a variety of pathways, and several lines of investigation have found that interference with signaling factors mediating neuroprotection might play an important role. These signaling pathways include, among others, the GSK3beta, CDK5, ERK, Pyk2, p38 and JNK cascades. Of these, GSK3beta has been a primary focus of many previous studies showing that in infected patients, HIV proteins and neurotoxins secreted by immune-activated cells in the brain abnormally activate this pathway, which is otherwise regulated by growth factors such as FGF. Interestingly, modulation of the GSK3beta signaling pathway by FGF1 or GSK3beta inhibitors (lithium, valproic acid) is protective against HIV neurotoxicity, and several pilot clinical trials have demonstrated cognitive improvements in HIV patients treated with GSK3beta inhibitors. In addition to the GSK3beta pathway, the CDK5 pathway has recently been implicated as a mediator of neurotoxicity in HIV, and HIV proteins might activate this pathway and subsequently disrupt the diverse processes that CDK5 regulates, including synapse formation and plasticity and neurogenesis. Taken together, the GSK3beta and CDK5 signaling pathways are important regulators of neurotoxicity in HIV, and modulation of these factors might have therapeutic potential in the treatment of patients suffering from HIVE. In this context, the subsequent sections will focus on reviewing the involvement of the GSK3beta and CDK5 pathways in neurodegeneration in HIV.
The Future of Antiplatelet Therapy: Optimizing Management in Patients with Acute Coronary Syndrome (2000)

In the past few years, the antiplatelet armamentarium has been markedly enriched. With the intravenous platelet glycoprotein IIb/IIIa inhibitors and the new thienopyridine clopidogrel, the options for acute and chronic antiplatelet therapy have expanded. Future therapies will optimize the application of these agents. For example, in percutaneous coronary intervention, it appears that patients may benefit by loading with an adenosine diphosphate receptor blocker before the procedure and may well benefit indefinitely from continuation of this therapy. Patients with aspirin resistance or the P1A2 single nucleotide polymorphism that is common in the population may derive particular benefit from dual antiplatelet therapy. Similarly, patients who present with unstable angina while receiving chronic aspirin therapy and those with involvement of more than one atherosclerotic bed deserve consideration for dual antiplatelet therapy. New applications will be facilitated by point-of-care testing for platelet biology and genotyping, pharmacogenomics, and protection from inflammation in patients with serologic evidence of elevated markers, such as C-reactive protein. Indeed, even with the recent explosion of relevant data and enriched therapeutic choices, we are just beginning to understand the optimal application of these therapies to the appropriate clinical indications and patient groups.

Sealing vessels up to 7 mm in diameter solely with ultrasonic technology (2014)

Sealing 5-7 mm vessels is not a limitation of the type of energy used but of how energy is delivered to tissue. These studies document the ability of ultrasonic energy alone to reliably seal large vessels 5-7 mm in diameter, with significantly greater burst pressure observed in in vitro studies than those observed with an advanced bipolar technology when energy delivery is modulated during the sealing cycle. Furthermore, the seals created in 5-7 mm vessels are shown to be reliable and durable in in vivo preclinical studies.
Impact of Histopathological Prostate Inflammation on Urine-Based Prostate Cancer Prediction Using the Prostate Cancer Gene 3 Score (2020)

The present data imply that the PCA3 score decreases in the presence of inflammation, which is relevant, for instance, to testing after a recently performed biopsy. In general, inflammation should be regarded as a factor putatively influencing PCA3 and other available and upcoming PC tests.
Static and Dynamic Structures of Perovskite Halides ABX3 (B = Pb, Sn) and Their Characteristic Semiconducting Properties by a Hückel Analytical Calculation (2018)

Abstract Solid solutions of methylammonium lead iodide (CH3NH3PbI3, abbreviated as MAPbI3) and formamidinium lead iodide (CH(NH2)2PbI3, as FAPbI3), which have been expected to be suitable materials as a visible light absorber of solar cells, were characterized by differential thermal analysis (DTA), XRD, 1H, 207Pb NMR and 127I nuclear quadrupole resonance (NQR). Continuous solid solutions of MAPbI3 and FAPbI3 were confirmed to have a cubic perovskite structure at 298 K except the tetragonal MAPbI3.127I NQR spectra as well as DTA for CH3NH3PbI3 showed successive phase transitions at 162 K and 333 K associated with the space group transformation from Pnma, I4/mcm to Pm$\bar{3}$m. FAPbI3 (Black phase) showed similar successive phase transitions at around 120–140 K and 283 K. The motional narrowing phenomenon observed on the 207Pb NMR proved useful to evaluate the halide ion migration and the activation energies were estimated to be ca. 48 kJ/mol for APbBr3 (A = Cs and CH3NH3), while the narrowing phenomena could not be observed clearly for MAPbI3 below 500 K, suggesting a lower concentration of vacancies than bromide analogs. Finally, Hückel calculations were performed for ABX3 (B = Sn, Pb) to demonstrate their excellent performance as a visible light absorber of solar cells, i.e., the direct band gap transition with a tunable property and the small effective masses of electron and hole.
Super Resolution Reconstruction of Compressed Low Resolution Images Using Wavelet Lifting Schemes (2009)

Due to the factors like processing power limitations and channel capabilities images are often down sampled and transmitted at low bit rates resulting in a low resolution compressed image. High resolution images can be reconstructed from several blurred, noisy and down sampled low resolution images using a computational process know as super resolution reconstruction. The problem of recovering a high resolution image from a sequence of low resolution compressed images is considered. In this paper, we propose lifting schemes for intentionally introducing down sampling of the high resolution image sequence before compression and then utilize super resolution techniques for generating a high resolution image at the decoder. Lifting wavelet transform has its advantages over the ordinary wavelet transform by way of reduction in memory required for its implementation. This is possible because lifting transform uses in-place computation. The lifting coefficients replace the image samples present in the respective memory locations. In our proposed approach the forward lifting is applied to the high resolution images which are compressed using Set Portioning in Hierarchical Trees (SPHIT), the compressed images are transmitted which results in low resolution images at the encoder, at the decoder super resolution techniques are applied; lifting scheme based fusion is performed, then decoded using DSPIHT and Inverse lifting is applied. In order to remove noise from the reconstructed image soft thresholding is performed and the blur is removed using blind deconvolution, and finally interpolated using our novel interpolation technique. We have performed both objective and subjective analysis of the reconstructed image, and the resultant image has better super resolution factor, and a higher ISNR and PSNR.
