Three-dimensional modelling and rendering of the human skeletal trunk from 2D radiographic images (2003)

The paper presents an original method for the 3D modelling and rendering of the human spine, rib cage and pelvis for the study of spinal deformities. It uses an adaptation of the standard close-range photogrammetry method called Direct Linear Transformation to infer the 3D co-ordinates of anatomical landmarks from 3 radiographic images of the subject's trunk. It then deforms in 3D high-resolution anatomical primitives (reference bones) obtained by ct-scan reconstruction of a dry specimen. Free-form deformation is calculated using a new formulation of dual kriging equations. In-vivo validation of this method on 40 scoliotic vertebrae gives an overall accuracy of 3.5/spl plusmn/4.1 mm, making it an adequate tool for diagnosis and mechanical analysis purposes. This new method can also find applications in biological and synthetic actors real time tracking and animation.

Study of the catalytic activity of bovine bone powder impregnated with Fe(III) new material for the catalytic degradation of Indigo Carmine (2015)

In this work, a composite consisting of bovine bone powder impregnated with Fe(III) ions was prepared and its performance evaluated as a catalyst for the degradation of the textile dye Indigo Carmine in aqueous medium. One of the advantageous features of this new material is that it is inexpensive, simple to prepare and the support, bovine bone, is one the final residue of food production. The material was fully characterized by X-ray powder diffraction (DRX), 57Fe-Mössbauer spectroscopy, surface area measurements (BET), atomic absorption spectrometry. The degradation of Indigo Carmine was monitored by ultraviolet spectroscopy in the visible region (UV-Vis) and the by-products characterized by direct infusion ESI(-)MS (electrospray ionization mass spectrometry in the negative ion mode).
Structural neuroimaging correlates of social deficits are similar in autism spectrum disorder and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder: analysis from the POND Network (2019)

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD), attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) have been associated with difficulties recognizing and responding to social cues. Neuroimaging studies have begun to map the social brain; however, the specific neural substrates contributing to social deficits in neurodevelopmental disorders remain unclear. Three hundred and twelve children underwent structural magnetic resonance imaging of the brain (controls = 32, OCD = 44, ADHD = 77, ASD = 159; mean age = 11). Their social deficits were quantified on the Social Communication Questionnaire (SCQ) and the Reading the Mind in the Eyes Test (RMET). Multivariable regression models were used to examine the structural neuroimaging correlates of social deficits, with both a region of interest and a whole-brain vertex-wise approach. For the region of interest analysis, social brain regions were grouped into three networks: (1) lateral mentalization (e.g., temporal-parietal junction), (2) frontal cognitive (e.g., orbitofrontal cortex), and (3) subcortical affective (e.g., limbic system) regions. Overall, social communication deficits on the SCQ were associated with thinner cortices in the left lateral regions and the right insula, and decreased volume in the ventral striatum, across diagnostic groups (p = 0.006 to <0.0001). Smaller subcortical volumes were associated with more severe social deficits on the SCQ in ASD and ADHD, and less severe deficits in OCD. On the RMET, larger amygdala/hippocampal volumes were associated with fewer deficits across groups. Overall, patterns of associations were similar in ASD and ADHD, supporting a common underlying biology and the blurring of the diagnostic boundaries between these disorders.

High-throughput Analysis of Mammalian Olfactory Receptors: Measurement of Receptor Activation via Luciferase Activity (2014)

Odorants create unique and overlapping patterns of olfactory receptor activation, allowing a family of approximately 1,000 murine and 400 human receptors to recognize thousands of odorants. Odorant ligands have been published for fewer than 6% of human receptors(1-11). This lack of data is due in part to difficulties functionally expressing these receptors in heterologous systems. Here, we describe a method for expressing the majority of the olfactory receptor family in Hana3A cells, followed by high-throughput assessment of olfactory receptor activation using a luciferase reporter assay. This assay can be used to (1) screen panels of odorants against panels of olfactory receptors; (2) confirm odorant/receptor interaction via dose response curves; and (3) compare receptor activation levels among receptor variants. In our sample data, 328 olfactory receptors were screened against 26 odorants. Odorant/receptor pairs with varying response scores were selected and tested in dose response. These data indicate that a screen is an effective method to enrich for odorant/receptor pairs that will pass a dose response experiment, i.e. receptors that have a bona fide response to an odorant. Therefore, this high-throughput luciferase assay is an effective method to characterize olfactory receptors-an essential step toward a model of odor coding in the mammalian olfactory system.
Raman-spectroscopy of oligomeric SiO species isolated in solid methane (1999)

From the IR-spectra of matrix isolated SiO species a D2h-structure has been postulated for the dimer and a D3h-structure for the trimer. High quality Raman-spectra—necessary for the complete characterization—were missing so far. Here we report the Raman-spectra especially of the totally symmetric vibrations for Si2O2 and Si3O3 and their O16/18O isotopomers isolated in solid methane. We also detect the most intense A1-vibration of Si4O4 and can assign it with its O16/18O isotopic splitting. Ab initio calculations for all oligomers are presented in order to support the assignment of the spectra and to obtain geometric and energetic information about the oligomeric species which have been detected experimentally.

Incidence and Risk Factors of Cholinergic Syndromes Induced by FOLFIRINOX in Advanced Pancreatic Adenocarcinoma (2018)

FOLFIRINOX is a novel chemotherapy that has been approved for the treatment of advanced pancreatic adenocarcinoma. In comparison with the conventional gemcitabine single agent therapy, FOLFIRINOX is advanced for objective responses, progression-free survival, and median overall survival. Cholinergic syndromes are frequently observed in patients receiving FOLFIRINOX and have been suggested to occur due to the inhibition of acetylcholinesterase by irinotecan (CPT-11). However, no research has been performed on the incidence and risk factors of cholinergic syndromes under FOLFIRINOX. This study aimed to evaluate the incidence and risk factors of cholinergic syndromes induced by FOLFIRINOX in retrospective investigation. Forty-eight patients who were treated with the first cycle of FOLFIRINOX were analyzed and 33 (68.8％) of those experienced cholinergic syndromes including diaphoresis (50.0％), acute diarrhea (33.3％), abdominal pain (29.2％), dysarthria (8.3％), and one for each case of bradycardia, nasal flow, miosis and numbness in the hands. Diaphoresis was experienced more frequently in younger patients (P = 0.029). Other characteristics of patients had no significant relationship with the induction of cholinergic syndrome; sex, stage of cancer, performance status, prior chemotherapy, dose of CPT-11, use of opioid, use of NSAIDs and/or acetaminophen and UGT1A1 genotype. This study indicated for the first time that cholinergic syndromes are observed in almost 70％ of patients treated with FOLFIRINOX, and it might be due to the combination of CPT-11 and oxaliplatin. Since cholinergic syndromes can deteriorate the quality of life, patients should be monitored carefully regardless of their characteristics under FOLFIRINOX.
Increased hepatic inflammation in a normal-weight mouse after long-term high-fat diet feeding (2017)

Among five C57BL/6 mice fed a high-fat diet (HFD) for 12 weeks, one mouse showed a body weight (BW) similar to normal diet (ND)-fed mice. We compared obesity-related parameters of three groups (ND-fed mice, one HFD-fed normal-weight mouse, and HFD-fed overweight mice), including visceral fat weight, serum levels of total cholesterol (TC), glucose, and aminotransferases (AST and ALT), adipocyte size, percentage of crown-like structures, severity of hepatic steatosis, and number of inflammatory foci. Compared to ND-fed mice, the HFD-fed normal-weight mouse exhibited a similar visceral fat weight, similar serum levels of glucose and aminotransferases, and a similar percentage of crown-like structures. On the other hand, the serum TC level, adipocyte size, and hepatic steatosis severity of the HFD-fed normal-weight mouse were intermediate between those of ND-fed mice and HFD-fed overweight mice. Interestingly, the number of hepatic inflammatory foci in the HFD-fed normal-weight mouse was remarkably increased compared with those in HFD-fed overweight mice. These results suggest that having BW or serum ALT levels within normal ranges may not guarantee absence of hepatic inflammation and that the HFD-fed normal-weight mouse can be used as an animal model for the study of liver inflammation, particularly in patients with normal BWs and/or serum ALT values.
Air-Pressure Tunable Depletion Width, Rectification Behavior, and Charge Conduction in Oxide Nanotubes (2015)

Metal-oxide nanotubes provide large surface areas and functionalizable surfaces for a variety of optical and electronic applications. Here we report air-tunable rectifying behavior, depletion width modulation, and two-dimensional (2D) charge conduction in hollow titanium-dioxide nanotubes. The metal contact forms a Schottky-diode in the nanotubes, and the rectification factor (on/off ratio) can be varied by more than 3 orders of magnitude (1-2 × 10(3)) as the air pressure is increased from 2 mTorr to atmospheric pressure. This behavior is explained using a change in depletion width of these thin nanotubes by adsorption of water vapor on both surfaces of a hollow nanotube, and the resulting formation of a metal-insulator-semiconductor (MIS) junction, which controls the 2D charge conduction properties in thin oxide nanotubes.
A CONVENIENT METHOD FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF β-LACTAM COMPOUNDS FROM β-AMINO ACIDS USING 2-CHLORO-1-METHYLPYRIDINIUM IODIDE AS CONDENSING REAGENT (1984)

Abstract Various (β-lactams are prepared from the corresponding β-amino acids under mild reaction conditions in high yields by employing 2-chloro-1-methylpyridinium iodide as a condensing reagent.
Signal processing techniques for improved resolver-to-digital conversion accuracy (2002)

Several methods for reducing the position error caused by the existence of nonideal resolver signal characteristics are introduced. The most straightforward method is to calibrate each resolver and resolver-to-digital (R/D) converter and then correct the R/D converter output in real time. While this method corrects all errors, including those with an origin in the R/D converter, it is also the most time-consuming and labor intensive. By appropriate signal processing, it is shown that quadrature error can be eliminated by simple algebraic manipulation of the resolver signals. It is also shown that all even harmonics in the resolver signals can be canceled if the resolver is constructed with complementary phases. It is shown that amplitude imbalance can be used to reduce the position due to inductive harmonics.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">&gt;</ETX>

Asymmetric Hydrogenation of Heteroaromatic Compounds (2007)

Asymmetric hydrogenation of heteroaromatic compounds has emerged as a promising new route to saturated or partially saturated chiral heterocyclic compounds. In this Account, we outline recent advances in asymmetric hydrogenation of heteroaromatic compounds, including indole, quinoline, isoquinoline, furan, and pyridine derivatives, using chiral organometallic catalysts and organocatalysts.
An introduction to RF testing: device, method and system (1998)

Wireless technologies like cellular phones, pagers, cordless phones, RF identification devices (RFID) and Global Positioning Systems (GPS) of today are required to be convenient and affordable. For this reason radio frequency (RF) integrated circuits (ICs) are developed and tested which meet the cost and function demands of the consumer. In this tutorial RF measurements are introduced in three parts: RF devices, measurement types and measurement systems. Since some of the developments of mixed signal analogue testing may be of great importance in this area of testing, they are also taken into account.
EUS-FNA/FNB AND ERCP IN THE DIAGNOSTIC WORK-UP OF BILIARY STENOSIS: A RETROSPECTIVE STUDY (2022)

Aims Defining the etiology of biliary stenosis is challenging, and endoscopic tissue sampling often shows a low diagnostic yield. We evaluated the diagnostic yield of endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) fine-needle aspiration/biopsy (FNA/FNB) and endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) brushing/biopsy in biliary stenosis
Membrane localization accelerates association under conditions relevant to cellular signaling (2022)

Abstract Translocation of cytoplasmic molecules to the plasma membrane is commonplace in cell signaling. Membrane localization has been hypothesized to increase intermolecular association rates; however, it has also been argued that association should be faster in the cytosol because membrane diffusion is slow. Here we directly compare an identical association reaction in solution and on supported membranes. The measured rate constants show that for 10 μm-radius spherical cell, association is 15-25-fold faster at the membrane than in the cytoplasm. The advantage is cell size-dependent, and for typical ~1 μm prokaryotic cells it should be essentially negligible. Rate enhancement is attributable to a combination of closer proximity of the signaling molecule to its targets after translocation and the higher efficiency of a two-dimensional search.

17O NMR chemical shifts of the twenty protein amino acids in aqueous solution (1985)

Abstract The 17 O chemical shifts of the α‐carboxyl groups of the protein amino acids, including 4‐hydroxyproline, sarcosine and N,N ‐dimethylglycine, were measured at 40°C in aqueous solution at variable pH ( 17 O enrichment 10 atom‐%). The chemical shifts of the amino acids were found to be between 250 and 257 ppm at low pH and between 266 and 273 ppm at neutral pH. For the purpose of comparison, several aliphatic and halogen‐containing carboxylic acids have also been measured under identical conditions. The high‐frequency titration shifts observed on deprotonation of the α‐carboxyl oxygens of the amino acids (15‐17 ppm) are similar to those of α‐haloalkanoic acids. A linear correlation of the titration shifts and the p K a values was found for the carboxylic acids, including the amino acids. The differences in the chemical shifts of the amino acids in either the cationic or zwitterionic state can be explained by the substituent effects of the side‐chains, introducing γ shielding and δ deshielding values of approximately half the size of those for aldehydes and ketones. Deprotonation of the primary α‐amino group of the amino acids induced low‐frequency shifts between ‐2.3 and ‐3.9 ppm, with the exception of serine and threonine (‐1.3 and ‐1.7 ppm, respectively). On deprotonation of the secondary α‐amino group of proline, 4‐hydroxyproline and sarcosine, a decrease in the titration shifts was observed (‐0.9, ‐0.2 and ‐1.1 ppm, respectively) and on deprotonation of the tertiary α‐amino group of N,N ‐dimethylglycine the sign was reversed (+3.9 ppm). The titration shifts can be explained by an inductive shift to high frequency, which is counterbalanced by an electric field shift of variable magnitude to low frequency.
A study of inelastic electron scattering in He covering the complete angular range from to (1999)

Differential cross sections for electron impact excitation of the first four excited states of helium have been measured for electron impact energies of 30, 40 and 50 eV. A novel `magnetic angle-changing' technique has been used which allows the full angular range from to to be covered for the first time. Serious discrepancies between theory and experiment have been found at angles that were previously inaccessible experimentally.
Personal data vaults (2010)

The increasing ubiquity of the mobile phone is creating many opportunities for personal context sensing, and will result in massive databases of individuals' sensitive information incorporating locations, movements, images, text annotations, and even health data. In existing system architectures, users upload their raw (unprocessed or filtered) data streams directly to content-service providers and have little control over their data once they "opt-in".
The Danger of Using Total Error Models to Compare Glucose Meter Performance (2014)

Glucose meter performance specifications provide limits for 95% of results, which is the same as total error. A popular total error model is that total error equals (average) bias plus 2 times imprecision. This model has been used to specify combinations of average bias and imprecision that satisfy total error goals. But this model is incomplete and its conclusions are suspect. It is shown that when interferences occur in glucose meters as exemplified by hematocrit interference, the total error model proposed by Boyd and Bruns cannot distinguish between meters that differ in performance. The CLSI standard EP21-A, does not have this problem because it directly estimates total error bypassing the need for a model. An example illustrates these points.
The Children and Youth We Serve (2005)

This article provides a national perspective of children and youth with emotional disturbances (ED) served in special education using data from the Special Education Elementary Longitudinal Study and the National LongitudinalTransition Study—2. Data sources comprise teachers,school records, the students, and their parents. Results indicate that children and youth with ED live in households in which multiple risk factors exist for poor life outcomes. As a group, these children and youth have serious and multiple impairments that include an array of emotional disabilities, poor communication skills, and low academic achievement. There is a considerable gap between initial identification of problems and the onset of service delivery, a high rate of suspension and expulsion, and an unstable school environment. Parents of children and youth with ED work harder to secure services for their children and are less satisfied with services than parents of children in other disability groups. Implications of the findings point to a need to emphasize programs that address both the academic and the behavioral needs of these children and youth.
