Cross-Mating Studies with Psoroptes ovis (Hering) and Psoroptes cuniculi Delafond (Acarina: Psoroptidae) (1983)

Reciprocal cross-matings of Psoroptes ovis and P. cuniculi occurred and produced viable offspring through the F2 generation. Hybrids of these crosses were infective to both rabbits and cattle. Mean lengths of the male l4 setae of the parental species differed significantly from each other as well as from those of the hybrid males. These data show that P. ovis and P. cuniculi are not reproductively isolated. Because viable, fertile hybrids are produced, cross-matings of P. ovis and P. cuniculi are not suitable as a suppression method of cattle scabies.
Reconfigurable Boolean Logic in Memristive Crossbar: The Principle and Implementation (2018)

In-memory computing based on memristive logic is considered as a prospective non von Neumann computing paradigm. In this letter, we systematically analyze the four-variable logic method and map it into the operation of two anti-serial complementary memristors in the crossbar array architecture. Arbitrary Boolean logic can be implemented within three cycles with the experimental evidence of reconfigurable NAND, NOR, and XOR logic using Pt/HfO <sub xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">2</sub> /TiN devices. Taking advantage of the functional flexibility, a parallel 1-bit full adder that can be realized in 8 cycles within a 4 × 3 array has been designed and verified in simulation.
Stress-Induced Downregulation of Macrophage Phagocytic Function Is Attenuated by Exercise Training in Rats (2007)

Our data confirm that acute restraint stress is associated with impaired function of macrophages. Moreover, moderate physical training attenuates the effects of acute stress by a mechanism that involves an increase in tolerance of macrophages.
Local Linearizability (2015)

The semantics of concurrent data structures is usually given by a sequential specification and a consistency condition. Linearizability is the most popular consistency condition due to its simplicity and general applicability. Nevertheless, for applications that do not require all guarantees offered by linearizability, recent research has focused on improving performance and scalability of concurrent data structures by relaxing their semantics. In this paper, we present local linearizability, a relaxed consistency condition that is applicable to container-type concurrent data structures like pools, queues, and stacks. While linearizability requires that the effect of each operation is observed by all threads at the same time, local linearizability only requires that for each thread T, the effects of its local insertion operations and the effects of those removal operations that remove values inserted by T are observed by all threads at the same time. We investigate theoretical and practical properties of local linearizability and its relationship to many existing consistency conditions. We present a generic implementation method for locally linearizable data structures that uses existing linearizable data structures as building blocks. Our implementations show performance and scalability improvements over the original building blocks and outperform the fastest existing container-type implementations.
Electrodeposition of hierarchically structured three-dimensional nickel–iron electrodes for efficient oxygen evolution at high current densities (2015)

Large-scale industrial application of electrolytic splitting of water has called for the development of oxygen evolution electrodes that are inexpensive, robust and can deliver large current density (>500 mA cm(-2)) at low applied potentials. Here we show that an efficient oxygen electrode can be developed by electrodepositing amorphous mesoporous nickel-iron composite nanosheets directly onto macroporous nickel foam substrates. The as-prepared oxygen electrode exhibits high catalytic activity towards water oxidation in alkaline solutions, which only requires an overpotential of 200 mV to initiate the reaction, and is capable of delivering current densities of 500 and 1,000 mA cm(-2) at overpotentials of 240 and 270 mV, respectively. The electrode also shows prolonged stability against bulk water electrolysis at large current. Collectively, the as-prepared three-dimensional structured electrode is the most efficient oxygen evolution electrode in alkaline electrolytes reported to the best of our knowledge, and can potentially be applied for industrial scale water electrolysis.
X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy of polybithiophene-polystyrene composites (1997)

An investigation of the structure, stability, and charge distributions of conducting polybithiophene–polystyrene composite chemically synthetized using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and electron microprobe analysis is described. XPS results confirm the reduction of the oxidant (Fe3+ is reduced to Fe2+ and Cu2+ to Cu+) during the bithiophene polymerization and indicate that the positive charges of doped polybithiophene are preferentially localized on the carbon atoms. Measurements versus ambient atmosphere exposure support a decreasing of the atomic ratio Cl/Fe or Cl/Cu and an increasing of the atomic ratio O/C, which could be responsible for the observed electrical conductivity instability. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Crystallization dynamics on curved surfaces (2013)

We study the evolution from a liquid to a crystal phase in two-dimensional curved space. At early times, while crystal seeds grow preferentially in regions of low curvature, the lattice frustration produced in regions with high curvature is rapidly relaxed through isolated defects. Further relaxation involves a mechanism of crystal growth and defect annihilation where regions with high curvature act as sinks for the diffusion of domain walls. The pinning of grain boundaries at regions of low curvature leads to the formation of a metastable structure of defects, characterized by asymptotically slow dynamics of ordering and activation energies dictated by the largest curvatures of the system. These glassylike ordering dynamics may completely inhibit the appearance of the ground-state structures.
Abstract 3099: Hydrocarbon carcinogenicity reexamined: An extremly potent direct-acting mutagen is common to smoke, soot and ash from a variety of combustion sources, including cigarette tobacco (2018)

Abstract Percivall Pott (1714-1788), an English surgeon, is generally credited with being the first to suggest that cancer may be induced by exposure to environmental carcinogens – in his case, cancer of the scrotum in London chimney sweeps occupationally exposed to soot. It is perhaps not surprising, therefore, that combustion products became a primary focus of later research into the mechanisms of chemical carcinogenesis. Early on, those studies pointed toward a particular class of compounds as being primarily responsible for cancer induction by such materials, a group of environmentally ubiquitous compounds called polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, or PAHs. One such PAH, benzo[a]pyrene (BaP), is perhaps the most studied compound in all of cancer research. While there is little doubt that BaP and its congeners are the primary carcinogens in incomplete combustion products like coal tar, their concentrations in other hydrocarbon mixtures are too low to fully account for their overall carcinogenic potency. It is possible that other factors such as tumor promotion contribute to the additional potency, but it might also be expected that there are significant contributions from nitro-PAH derivatives, in particular the isomers of dinitropyrene (DNP) found in carbon black, diesel exhaust and other combustion products. One such isomer, 1,6-dinitropyrene was shown by Iwagawa et al. to have three-times the carcinogenic potency of BaP when injected directly into the lungs of rats. In order to indirectly test nitroaromatic contribution to combustion product carcinogenicity, extracts of smoke soot, ash and food products exposed to smoke during processing were fractionated by HPLC, and the fractions tested in the Ames Test without metabolic activation. All showed a common peak of extremely potent direct-acting mutagenicity at a retention time similar to that of dinitropyrene. Efforts are currently underway to fully characterize the mutagen by a combination of standard analytical means. Citation Format: Gary R. Blackburn.

Effects of an Estrogen Antagonist on Enzyme Activities and [3H]Estradiol Nuclear Binding in Uterus, Pituitary and Brain* (1977)

The estrogenic and anti-estrogenic properties of CI-628 in the uterus, pituitary and brain were assessed and compared with those of estradiol benzoate (EB) after in vivo administration to ovariectomized (OVX) rats by measuring changes in protein content, enzyme activities and [3H]- estradiol nuclear binding. 1) EB administration led to increased total protein and glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PDH) activity in the uterus and pituitary, increased choline acetylase (CAT) activity in the preoptic area and decreased monoamine oxidase (MAO) activity in the corticomedial amygdala (CMamygdala). 2) CI-628 mimicked all of the above changes except those in the pituitary. The CI-628 dependent changes in protein content and enzyme activities in the uterus were less than half of the EB changes. In the preoptic area and CM-amygdala, CI-628 resulted in approximately the same changes in CAT and MAO activity as EB. 3) In the pituitary and uterus, CI-628 antagonized the EB-dependent increase in G6PDH activity. In the CM-amygdala and preoptic area, CI-628 pretreatment did not antagonize the EB dependent changes in CAT and MAO. 4) CI-628 reduced nuclear binding of [3H]estradiol to approximately 5% of control in the uterus and pituitary and this effect lasted for at least 96 h. In contrast, CI-628 reduced nuclear binding in the preoptic area-hypothalamus-amygdala to 13% of control at 18 h after CI-628, but at 96 h nuclear binding of [3H]estradiol had recovered to 70% of control. Thus, the effect of CI-628 on these specific biochemical markers of estrogen action was not identical in the different target tissues. The possibility is discussed that the basis for the heterogeneity of responses may reside in the different time course of CI-628 interaction with cellular estrogen receptors in the target tissues.
Detection of Somatic Mutations by High-Resolution DNA Melting (HRM) Analysis in Multiple Cancers (2011)

Identification of somatic mutations in cancer is a major goal for understanding and monitoring the events related to cancer initiation and progression. High resolution melting (HRM) curve analysis represents a fast, post-PCR high-throughput method for scanning somatic sequence alterations in target genes. The aim of this study was to assess the sensitivity and specificity of HRM analysis for tumor mutation screening in a range of tumor samples, which included 216 frozen pediatric small rounded blue-cell tumors as well as 180 paraffin-embedded tumors from breast, endometrial and ovarian cancers (60 of each). HRM analysis was performed in exons of the following candidate genes known to harbor established commonly observed mutations: PIK3CA, ERBB2, KRAS, TP53, EGFR, BRAF, GATA3, and FGFR3. Bi-directional sequencing analysis was used to determine the accuracy of the HRM analysis. For the 39 mutations observed in frozen samples, the sensitivity and specificity of HRM analysis were 97% and 87%, respectively. There were 67 mutation/variants in the paraffin-embedded samples, and the sensitivity and specificity for the HRM analysis were 88% and 80%, respectively. Paraffin-embedded samples require higher quantity of purified DNA for high performance. In summary, HRM analysis is a promising moderate-throughput screening test for mutations among known candidate genomic regions. Although the overall accuracy appears to be better in frozen specimens, somatic alterations were detected in DNA extracted from paraffin-embedded samples.
约翰·济慈与自然：一种生态批评的探究——入乎其内的外在性、出乎其外的内在性与生成的动态性分析 (2014)

生态学（自然／环境意识）对约翰·济慈的艺术成长和成熟产生了重要影响。济慈诗歌中自然意象的内化与外化首先不能从浪漫主义观念论的超验经验视点予以分析与阐释，而是要看作他为赢得艺术或美学声名而不断奋斗的影响因素。自然与创作冲动紧密相连，而这种连接又改善了诗人心灵中智识与哲学的架构。这种生态-心理-美学的对话立场提升了济慈意识中的构成档次，更重要的是提供了一种针对解构主义批评（它拆解了所有借助于现象学和阐释学话语解读济慈诗文的努力）的对抗性话语。鉴于济慈诗歌的特征并非自我封闭而是动态开放，他的自然诗也就为审美憧憬中的有益延宕提供了例证。

Using the making Visible the ImpaCT Of Research (VICTOR) questionnaire to evaluate the benefits of a fellowship programme for nurses, midwives and allied health professionals (2023)

A contractual agreement must be established to foster committed partnerships between higher education institutions (HEIs) and the NHS. HEIs and the NHS should conduct frank discussions of the challenges encountered in fellowship programmes. Positive initiatives and outcomes in tertiary education and clinical settings should be shared to improve fellows' experiences and enhance partnerships between HEIs and the NHS. Job descriptions should include time allocation to review fellowship candidates' applications regardless of outcome. The showcasing of research successes and the benefits of NMAHP research must evolve to secure organisational 'buy in', which is the precursor to widening access to clinical academic pathways.

Conjoint use of Dibenzosilole and Indan‐1,3‐dione Functionalities to Prepare an Efficient Non‐Fullerene Acceptor for Solution‐Processable Bulk‐Heterojunction Solar Cells (2015)

Abstract A solution‐processable, non‐fullerene electron acceptor, 2,2′‐(((5,5‐dioctyl‐5 H ‐dibenzo[ b , d ]silole‐3,7‐diyl)bis(thiophene‐5,2‐diyl))bis(methanylylidene))bis(1 H ‐indene‐1,3(2 H )‐dione) (called N5 ) comprised of dibenzosilole and 1,3‐indanedione building blocks was designed, synthesized, and fully characterized. N5 is highly soluble in various organic solvents, has high thermal stability, and has energy levels matching those of archetypal donor poly(3‐hexylthiophene). Solution‐processable, bulk‐heterojunction solar cells afforded promising power conversion efficiency of 2.76 % when N5 was used as a non‐fullerene electron acceptor along with the conventional donor polymer poly(3‐hexylthiophene). As per our knowledge, the material reported herein is the first example in the literature where synchronous use of such building blocks is demonstrated in the design an efficient, non‐fullerene acceptor.
Electromagnetic and thermal analysis of the induction heating of aluminum billets rotating in DC magnetic field (2008)

Purpose The paper aims to deal with the induction heating of metal billets rotating in a DC magnetic field. Design/methodology/approach The induced power distributions are analysed and the main heating parameters are estimated with reference to an infinitely long Al billet 200 mm diameter. The paper refers to the activity developed in the frame of a National Italian Project carried out by research groups of the Universities of Bologna, Padua and Roma “La Sapienza.” Findings The main process parameters have been evaluated for the heating up to 500°C of an Al billet 200 mm diameter. Practical implications This innovative technology appears to be very promising for improving the efficiency of the through heating of high‐conductivity metals (e.g. copper, aluminum) before hot working, by using superconducting magnets. Originality/value The paper analyses the induction heating of a infinitely long billet rotating in a uniform DC magnetic field.
Allogeneic platelet-rich plasma affects monocyte differentiation to dendritic cells causing an anti-inflammatory microenvironment, putatively fostering wound healing (2016)

Autologous platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is used clinically to induce repair of different tissues through the release of bioactive molecules. In some patients, the production of efficient autologous PRP is unfeasible due to their compromised health. Allogeneic PRP mismatched for AB0 and Rh antigens was developed. The effect of allogeneic PRP on immune response should be defined to use it in clinical practice avoiding side effects. Thus, whether PRP affects the differentiation of peripheral blood monocytes to dendritic cells upon stimulation with granulocyte monocyte colony stimulating factor and interleukin-4 was investigated. Indeed, these cells are the main players of immune response and tissue repair. PRP inhibited the differentiation of monocytes to CD1a<sup>+</sup> dendritic cells and favoured the expansion of phagocytic CD163<sup>+</sup> CD206<sup>+</sup> fibrocyte-like cells. These cells produced interleukin-10 and prostaglandin-E<sub>2</sub> , but not interferon-γ, upon stimulation with lipopolysaccharides. Moreover, they promoted the expansion of regulatory CD4<sup>+</sup> CD25<sup>+</sup> FoxP3<sup>+</sup> T cells upon allostimulation or antigen specific priming. Finally, the conditioned medium harvested from monocytes differentiated with PRP triggered a strong chemotactic effect on mesenchymal cells in both scratch and transwell migration assays. These results strongly suggest that allogeneic PRP can foster the differentiation of monocytes to a regulatory anti-inflammatory population, possibly favouring wound healing.

Effect of Codonopsis lanceolata with Steamed and Fermented Process on Scopolamine-Induced Memory Impairment in Mice (2013)

Codonopsis lanceolata (Campanulaceae) traditionally have been used as a tonic and to treat patients with lung abscesses. Recently, it was proposed that the extract and some compounds isolated from C. lanceolata reversed scopolamine-induced memory and learning deficits. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the improvement of cognitive enhancing effect of C. lanceolata by steam and fermentation process in scopolamine-induced memory impairment mice models by passive avoidance test and Morris water maze test. The extract of C. lanceolata or the extract of steamed and fermented C. lanceolata (SFCE) was orally administered to male mice at the doses of 100 and 300 mg/kg body weight. As a result, mice treated with steamed and fermented C. lanceolata extract (SFCE) (300 mg/kg body weight, p.o.) showed shorter escape latencies than those with C. lanceolata extract or the scopolamine-administered group in Morris water maze test. Also, it exerted longer step-through latency time than scopolamine treated group in passive avoidance test. Furthermore, neuroprotective effect of SFCE on glutamate-induced cytotoxicity was assessed in HT22 cells. Only SFCE-treated cells showed significant protection at 500 μg/ml. Interestingly, steamed C. lanceolata with fermentation contained more phenolic acid including gallic acid and vanillic acid than original C. lanceolata. Collectively, these results suggest that steam and fermentation process of C. lanceolata increased cognitive enhancing activity related to the memory processes and neuroprotective effect than original C. lanceolata.
Sequential Tagging of Semantic Roles on Chinese FrameNet (2010)

In this paper, semantic role labeling(SRL) on Chinese FrameNet is divided into the subtasks of boundary identification(BI) and semantic role classification(SRC). These subtasks are regarded as the sequential tagging problem at the word level, respectively. We use the conditional random fields(CRFs) model to train and test on a two-fold cross-validation data set. The extracted features include 11 word-level and 15 shallow syntactic features derived from automatic base chunk parsing. We use the orthogonal array of statistics to arrange the experiment so that the best feature template is selected. The experimental results show that given the target word within a sentence, the best F-measures of SRL can achieve 60.42%. For the BI and SRC subtasks, the best F-measures are 70.55 and 81%, respectively. The statistical t-test shows that the improvement of our SRL model is not significant after appending the base chunk features. 1
Pharmacological treatments for tinnitus: New and old (2009)

Subjective tinnitus, the phantom ringing or buzzing sensation that occurs in the absence of sound, affects 12-14% of adults; in some cases the tinnitus is so severe or disabling that patients seek medical treatment. However, although the economic and emotional impact of tinnitus is large, there are currently no FDA-approved drugs to treat this condition. Clinical trials are now underway to evaluate the efficacy of N-methyl-d-aspartate (NMDA) and dopamine D(2) antagonists, selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) agonists and zinc dietary supplements. Previous off-label clinical studies, while not definitive, suggest that patients with severe depression may experience improvement in their tinnitus after treatment with antidepressants such as nortriptyline or sertraline. A small subpopulation of patients with what has been described as "typewriter tinnitus" have been shown to gain significant relief from the anticonvulsant carbamazepine. Preliminary studies with misoprostol, a synthetic prostaglandin E1 analogue, and sulpiride, a dopamine D(2) antagonist, have shown promise. Animal behavioral studies suggest that GABA transaminase inhibitors and potassium channel modulators can suppress tinnitus. Additionally, improvements in tinnitus have also been noted in patients taking melatonin for significant sleep disturbances. Like other complex neurological disorders, one drug is unlikely to resolve tinnitus in all patients; therapies targeting specific subgroups are likely to yield the greatest success.
Photophysical and Electrochemical Properties of Heteroleptic Tris-Cyclometalated Iridium(III) Complexes (2005)

Mixed (difluoro)phenylpyridine/(difluoro)phenylpyrazole tris-cyclometalated iridium complexes were prepared in order to study the effect of fluorination and the pyridine/pyrazole ratio on the emission and electrochemical properties. Increasing fluorination and replacement of pyridine by pyrazole both leads to a widening of the HOMO-LUMO gap and generally leads to a blue shift in emission.
