Preliminary assessment of the ultra violet curing of composites manufactured by the resin infusion between double flexible tooling process (2006)

Abstract This study evaluates the feasibility of designing and incorporating a cure on demand system into the resin infusion between double flexible tooling (RIDFT) process, using ultraviolet (UV) light for the curing of composite laminates. This work set out to develop a process for the RIDFT that would eliminate or reduce the inflexibility in the current production process, resulting in shortened production cycle times. UV cured laminates were produced at a fraction of the time required for catalyst cured laminates. Mechanical and rheological tests were performed on each of the UV cured laminates produced. The results were referenced against those obtained for laminates produced using a catalyst curing system to determine their overall quality. Experimental results from the tensile and rheological tests inferred that the UV cured laminates yielded material properties that were comparable and in a few instances slightly better than that of thermally cured laminates.

Developing information technology capacity for performance measurement (2010)

Health information technology (IT) plays a substantial role in performance measurement in many locations, particularly as such measurement programmes seek to involve a broad-based collection of health systems, payers, hospitals and individual clinicians. This role should soon become even greater as information technologies (e.g. electronic health records, data warehouses, electronic claims) can provide ready access to the clinical information required to assess quality of care across a broad spectrum of conditions and among large populations.
Elotuzumab in combination with thalidomide and low‐dose dexamethasone: a phase 2 single‐arm safety study in patients with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma (2016)

Elotuzumab is an immunostimulatory, humanized immunoglobulin G1 monoclonal antibody that selectively targets and kills signalling lymphocytic activation molecule family member 7-expressing myeloma cells. We evaluated the safety and tolerability of elotuzumab 10 mg/kg combined with thalidomide 50-200 mg and dexamethasone 40 mg (with/without cyclophosphamide 50 mg) in patients with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM). The primary endpoint was the proportion of grade ≥3 non-haematological adverse events (AEs); other endpoints included the number of dose reductions/discontinuations and efficacy. Forty patients were treated, who had a median of three previous therapies, including bortezomib (98%) and lenalidomide (73%). Grade ≥3 non-haematological AEs were reported in 63% of patients, most commonly asthenia (35%) and peripheral oedema (25%). Six (15%) patients had an infusion reaction. Twenty-six (65%) patients had ≥1 dose reduction/discontinuation due to an AE, none related to elotuzumab. Overall response rate was 38%; median progression-free survival was 3·9 months. Median overall survival was 16·3 months and the 1-year survival rate was 63%. Minimal incremental toxicity was observed with addition of elotuzumab to thalidomide/dexamethasone with or without cyclophosphamide, and efficacy data suggest clinical benefit in a highly pre-treated population. Elotuzumab combined with thalidomide may provide an additional treatment option for patients with RRMM.
WNK4 Diverts the Thiazide-sensitive NaCl Cotransporter to the Lysosome and Stimulates AP-3 Interaction (2009)

With-no-lysine kinase 4 (WNK4) inhibits electroneutral sodium chloride reabsorption by attenuating the cell surface expression of the thiazide-sensitive NaCl cotransporter (NCC). The underlying mechanism for this effect remains poorly understood. Here, we explore how WNK4 affects the trafficking of NCC through its interactions with intracellular sorting machinery. An analysis of NCC cell surface lifetime showed that WNK4 did not alter the net rate of cotransporter internalization. In contrast, direct measurements of forward trafficking revealed that WNK4 attenuated the rate of NCC surface delivery, inhibiting the anterograde movement of cotransporters traveling to the plasma membrane from the trans-Golgi network. The response was paralleled by a dramatic reduction in NCC protein abundance, an effect that was sensitive to the lysosomal protease inhibitor leupeptin, insensitive to proteasome inhibition, and attenuated by endogenous WNK4 knockdown. Subcellular localization studies performed in the presence of leupeptin revealed that WNK4 enhanced the accumulation of NCC in lysosomes. Moreover, NCC immunoprecipitated with endogenous AP-3 complexes, and WNK4 increased the fraction of cotransporters that associate with this adaptor, which facilitates cargo transport to lysosomes. WNK4 expression also increased LAMP-2-positive lysosomal content, indicating that the kinase may act by a general AP-3-dependent mechanism to promote cargo delivery into the lysosomal pathway. Taken together, these findings indicate that WNK4 inhibits NCC activity by diverting the cotransporter to the lysosome for degradation by way of an AP-3 transport carrier.
Microsystems and wafer processes for volume production of highly reliable fiber optic components for telecom- and datacom-application (1998)

In realizing an efficient volume production of highly reliable active fiberoptic components the microsystem-technique was one of the most important factors. Micro-mechanical methods allow large scale fabrication of micro optical silicon lenses with methods, machines and materials using standard semiconductor wafer technology. With micromechanical processes, such as anodic bonding of optical components and special solder bonding techniques, it is possible to realize complete hybrid integrated fiberoptic modules on silicon submount chips. These modules on silicon submount chips are fabricated as a part of a silicon wafer with the dimensions, tolerances and mechanical stability in the submicrometer region. With this technique we can use well-established low cost production methods on a wafer scale for active fiberoptic components. This means the complete fabrication, burn-in and testing procedures are practicable for example on a 5 in silicon-wafer. This allows the main module-functions to be separated from the cost intensive packaging efforts. It also provides a standard-submount base-component which can be used to develop a fiberoptic product-family for different applications with adapted packages. This means that these module-sub components can be produced in high volume production with low cost for high end fiberoptic components. Since all the essential opto-electrical and mechanical functions are combined in the highly stable subcomponent chip with minimal mechanical dimensions., the complete fiberoptic components can also provide the required reliability for these products. In some examples we propose appropriate exploitation's of these components for the realization of efficient fiberoptic transmission systems. One very important field for application of low cost components is the access network. Fiber to the Home needs medium datarates (up to 155 Mb/s) and medium length (up to 10 km). The technique described here allows optimum tradeoff between performance and cost for these applications. Using bidirectional transmission the cost for the bit transport can be reduced near to the level of copper lines. Therefore the German Telekom has installed a lot of subscriber lines using modules for bidirectional optical transmission.
The Research and Implementation of Uplink Transform Precoding in TD-LTE System (2012)

The implementation of transform precoding is one of the important steps for SC-FDMA baseband signal generation of physical uplink shared channel in TD-LTE. According to the definition of transform precoding, the mixed radix DFT which is made up of the radix-2, radix-3, radix-5 should be realized, and the transform length is not fixed. For unfixed DFT, this paper focuses algorithms, and designs an unfixed-point DFT universal module, which has already been achieved on the FPGA chip. Meanwhile, the hardware resources can be optimized, its processing speed and power consumption can basically meet the DFT requirements of uplink SC-FDMA in TD-LTE system.

Few-shot relation classification by context attention-based prototypical networks with BERT (2020)

Abstract Human-computer interaction under the cloud computing platform is very important, but the semantic gap will limit the performance of interaction. It is necessary to understand the semantic information in various scenarios. Relation classification (RC) is an import method to implement the description of semantic formalization. It aims at classifying a relation between two specified entities in a sentence. Existing RC models typically rely on supervised learning and distant supervision. Supervised learning requires large-scale supervised training datasets, which are not readily available. Distant supervision introduces noise, and many long-tail relations still suffer from data sparsity. Few-shot learning, which is widely used in image classification, is an effective method for overcoming data sparsity. In this paper, we apply few-shot learning to a relation classification task. However, not all instances contribute equally to the relation prototype in a text-based few-shot learning scenario, which can cause the prototype deviation problem. To address this problem, we propose context attention-based prototypical networks. We design context attention to highlight the crucial instances in the support set to generate a satisfactory prototype. Besides, we also explore the application of a recently popular pre-trained language model to few-shot relation classification tasks. The experimental results demonstrate that our model outperforms the state-of-the-art models and converges faster.
Simulation lossless symmetrical three conductor systems (1991)

The treatment of symmetrical lossless three-conductor transmission lines with arbitrary terminations and umped coupling elements is reduced to a set of four delay elements and analog interface networks modeling the mode conversion in unsymmetrical terminations or coupling elements between the lines. The model can easily be programmed in circuit simulators like SPICE using the respective transmission line models in combination with the above-mentioned interface networks. Crosstalk between bus lines is discussed as an example.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">&gt;</ETX>

Uma dieta equilibrada e de qualidade supre as recomendacoes diarias necessarias para um programa de condicionamento fisico para individuos saudaveis. O objetivo do presente estudo foi comparar o estado nutricional e o perfil antropometrico de frequentadores de academias de ginastica, usuarios ou nao de suplementos, em cinco cidades do interior do RS. Atraves do questionario estruturado auto administrado, classificacao do Indice de Massa Corporal (IMC), percentual de gordura corporal e recordatorio alimentar de 24 horas, foram entrevistados 61 individuos, com idades entre 19 e 25 anos. Verificou-se que 40,98% da populacao estudada faziam uso de suplementos nutricionais. Os homens (84%) usam mais suplementos que as mulheres (p < 0,007), sendo os aminoacidos ou concentrados proteicos os mais consumidos (52%). Usuarios de suplementos almejam mais o ganho de forca ou massa muscular do que nao usuarios (p=0,033). Ambos os individuos consumidores ou nao de suplementos ingeriram uma dieta hiperproteica (1,73 e 1,60 g/kg/dia, respectivamente). O consumo de calcio (697,41mg ± 408,02) e magnesio (188,25mg ± 104,21) e maior no grupo dos usuarios de suplementos p=0,002 e p=0,049, respectivamente. Pode-se concluir que a busca incessante pelo corpo perfeito tem levado muitos adultos a consumirem suplementos alimentares e, diante disso, e preocupante sob o ponto de vista nutricional o esclarecimento sobre as consequencias do uso indiscriminado dessas substâncias.
Controlled spatial and conformational display of immobilised bone morphogenetic protein-2 and osteopontin signalling motifs regulates osteoblast adhesion and differentiation in vitro (2010)

These data describe an approach that allows the influence of immobilised protein ligands on cell behaviour to be dissected at the molecular level. This approach presents a durable surface that allows both short (hours or days) and long term (weeks) effects on cell activity to be assessed. This widely applicable approach can provide mechanistic insight into the contribution of immobilised ligands in the control of cell activity.

Comparative sensitivity of the exercise electrocardiogram, thallium imaging and stress radionuclide angiography to detect the presence and severity of coronary heart disease. (1979)

The relative sensitivity and specificity of individual and combined noninvasive tests to detect coronary heart disease were evaluated in 75 patients with chest pain admitted for cardiac catheterization and coronary arteriography. Of the 75 patients, 56 had coronary heart disease. Exercise-induced ST-segment ab- normalities (>1 mm) were found in 58%. In contrast, computer-processed exercise thalliuim-201 perfusion im- aging detected 82% (p < 0.01) and assessment of regional ejection fraction determined at rest and during isometric exercise by radionuclide angiography detected 82% (p < 0.02). Pathologic Q waves were present in 20%. Of nine patients with single-vessel disease, only one had exercise ST-segment abnormalities, while four had abnormalities in thallium-201 perfusion and five in regional ejection fraction. Of 16 patients with twovessel disease, 10 had ST-segment abnormalities, 14 had defects on thallium-201 imaging and 13 had abnor- malities in regional ejection fraction. Similarly, of 31 patients with three-vessel coronary heart disease, 23 had exercise-induced ST-segment changes, while 28 had thallium-201 perfusion defects and 28 had abnormalities in regional ejection fraction.
17. Actory: Visualising Reputational Power to Promote Deliberation (2016)

In democratic societies there is widespread acknowledgment of the need to incorporate citizens’ input in decision-making processes in more or less structured ways. But participatory decision making is balancing on the borders of inclusion, structure, precision and accuracy. To simply enable more participation will not yield enhanced democracy, and there is a clear need for more elaborated elicitation and decision analytical tools. This rigorous and thought-provoking volume draws on a stimulating variety of international case studies, from flood risk management in the Red River Delta of Vietnam, to the consideration of alternatives to gold mining in Roșia Montană in Transylvania, to the application of multi-criteria decision analysis in evaluating the impact of e-learning opportunities at Uganda's Makerere University. This book is important new reading for decision makers in government, public administration and urban planning, as well as students and researchers in the fields of participatory democracy, urban planning, social policy, communication design, participatory art, decision theory, risk analysis and computer and systems sciences.
A comparison of outgassing rate of 304 stainless steel and A6063-EX aluminum alloy vacuum chamber after filling with water (1987)

Outgassing rates of A6063-EX aluminum alloy and SUS 304 stainless steel, in the form of a vacuum chamber, before and after filling the chambers with water were compared. The results showed that the outgassing rate of the aluminum alloy was greater than that of the stainless steel before baking. However, after in situ vacuum bakeout, the outgassing rate of the aluminum alloy became lower than that of the stainless steel, even for the chamber which had been filled with water. The Auger depth profile analysis reveals that the surface of the aluminum alloy, before bakeout, may have a porous aluminum oxide layer which increases the amount of the adsorbed gas molecules resulting in a large outgassing rate.
High-Throughput Screening of Porous Crystalline Materials for Hydrogen Storage Capacity near Room Temperature (2014)

The hydrogen storage capabilities of 18 383 porous crystalline structures possessing various degrees of Mg functionalization and diverse physical properties were assessed through combined grand canonical Monte Carlo (GCMC) and quantum mechanical approaches. GCMC simulations were performed for pressures of 2 and 100 bar at a temperature of 243 K. Absolute uptake at 100 bar and deliverable capacity between 100 and 2 bar were calculated. Maximum absolute and deliverable gravimetric capacities were 9.35 and 9.12 wt %, respectively. Volumetrically, absolute and deliverable capacities were 51 and 30 g/L, respectively. The results reveal relationships between hydrogen uptake and the physical properties of the materials. We show that the introduction of an optimum amount of magnesium alkoxide to increase the isosteric heat of adsorption is a promising strategy to improve hydrogen uptake and delivery near ambient temperature.
Sulfur-Impregnated Disordered Carbon Nanotubes Cathode for Lithium–Sulfur Batteries (2011)

The commercialization of lithium-sulfur batteries is hindered by low cycle stability and low efficiency, which are induced by sulfur active material loss and polysulfide shuttle reaction through dissolution into electrolyte. In this study, sulfur-impregnated disordered carbon nanotubes are synthesized as cathode material for the lithium-sulfur battery. The obtained sulfur-carbon tube cathodes demonstrate superior cyclability and Coulombic efficiency. More importantly, the electrochemical characterization indicates a new stabilization mechanism of sulfur in carbon induced by heat treatment.
Feasibility of Supervised Trainee Involvement in Colonoscopy without Sedation (CWOS) – Experience at a Single U.S. Training Center (2006)

Purpose: In the U.S. sedation for colonoscopy is standard practice. Nursing support required for monitoring and recovery; and fixed resources at public institutions such as VA Hospitals appear to have contributed to prolonged wait time. While depicting feasibility in expert hands, recent U.S. publications do not favor trainee involvement in CWOS. Aim: In preparation for a performance improvement program to reduce wait time without incurring additional nursing support, a retrospective feasibility assessment is performed to review cases of CWOS. Methods: We conduct open access education classes for patients referred for outpatient colonoscopy. Patients are given standard instructions including bowel preparation and escort requirement. Inpatients are evaluated by formal consultations. We perform CWOS at patients' request (no escort, concern about side-effects of sedation, wish to see procedure); and at discretion of colonoscopists (sedation risk, e.g. severe COPD). The procedure is performed using standard colonoscope with minimal air insufflation on scope insertion. Abdominal compression and positioning of patient are necessary to facilitate passage of the scope. Polyps are removed on withdrawal of colonoscope. Results: From 2000 to 2006, 8608 colonoscopies were performed. 142 (1.7%) were CWOS. Majority of patients requested CWOS because they did not have escort. After excluding patients with poor bowel preparation (n = 19), the overall cecal intubation rate was (105/123) 85% for CWOS (61 screening and 44 diagnostic), and 44 patients had polypectomy. In addition, CWOS failed in 5 (3.5%) patients because of pain, in 1 with an abdominal hernia and 1 with redundant colon, respectively; and in 11 patients (7.7%) cause of failure was not recorded. There were no immediate CWOS-related cardiorespiratory complications. After excluding patients with poor preparation, success among GI fellows was 17/21 (81%) versus attendings 88/102 (86.3%). On average, fellows took 26 min (14–52) while attendings took 19 min (4–66) to complete the procedure. Conclusions: The current success rate for CWOS is comparable to data in the literature. Poor bowel preparation accounts for substantial (15%) failures. Involvement of supervised trainees in CWOS appears to be feasible with success rates comparable to attending staff. The implication of inclusion of CWOS in the training curriculum and its impact on wait time for colonoscopy in public institutions deserves further prospective studies.
Effect of Radiant Energy on Near-Surface Water (2009)

While recent research on interfacial water has focused mainly on the few interfacial layers adjacent to the solid boundary, century-old studies have extensively shown that macroscopic domains of liquids near interfaces acquire features different from the bulk. Interest in these long-range effects has been rekindled by recent observations showing that colloidal and molecular solutes are excluded from extensive regions next to many hydrophilic surfaces [Zheng and Pollack Phys. Rev. E 2003, 68, 031408]. Studies of these aqueous "exclusion zones" reveal a more ordered phase than bulk water, with local charge separation between the exclusion zones and the regions beyond [Zheng et al. Colloid Interface Sci. 2006, 127, 19; Zheng and Pollack Water and the Cell: Solute exclusion and potential distribution near hydrophilic surfaces; Springer: Netherlands, 2006; pp 165-174], here confirmed using pH measurements. The main question, however, is where the energy for building these charged, low-entropy zones might come from. It is shown that radiant energy profoundly expands these zones in a reversible, wavelength-dependent manner. It appears that incident radiant energy may be stored in the water as entropy loss and charge separation.
Fungitoxicity of 5‐aminoisoxazole‐4‐thiocyanate derivatives (1992)

Abstract 3‐Methyl‐5‐(acyl/alkyl)aminoisoxazole‐4‐thiocyanates were prepared by rhodanation of N ‐acyl/alkyl‐3‐methyl‐5‐isoxazolamines. These products were tested for antifungal activity against a series of phytopathogenic fungi of different taxonomic classes. Some of the compounds showed interesting in ‐ vitro activity. The more active compound in the in ‐ vitro test displayed a moderate preventive activity against Plasmopara viticola, Alternaria solani and Pyricularia recondita .
A secure multi-hop routing for IoT communication (2014)

This paper introduces a multi-hop routing protocol that enables secured IoT devices' communication. The routing protocol enables the IoT devices to authenticate before forming a new network or joining an existing network. The authentication uses multi-layer parameters to enhance the security of the communication. The proposed routing protocol embeds the multi-layer parameters into the routing algorithm, thus combining the authentication and routing processes without incurring significant overheads. The multi-layer parameters include a unique User-Controllable Identification, users' pre-agreed application(s), and a list of permitted devices, thus saving resources by maintaining smaller routing information. Experimental and field tests were conducted with results showing that our secure multi-hop routing is suitable to be deployed for IoT communication.
