Human Clinical Study of the Efficacy of LifeWave Energy Patch in Improving Flexibility, Strength and Endurance in Healthy Humans (2012)

[[SUBSTITUTE THE PARAGRAPH BELOW This double-blind crossover placebo-controlled clinical trial demonstrates that LifeWave Energy Patches produce a significant increase in several tests of flexibility, strength and endurance in healthy humans when worn for one hour. This increase is correlated with a subjective increase in energy levels.] In this double-blind crossover placebo-controlled clinical trial, tests were conducted that measure flexibility, strength and endurance in 60 healthy humans. Tests conducted included: stretch and reach, hand strength, latissimus dorsi pull down maximum weight, outcome measures with an ergometer bicycle (peak and average power and watts per kilogram, average and peak speed and speed per kilogram, distance and calories. These results demonstrate that the LifeWave Energy Patch improved performance in several different tests of flexibility, strength and endurance in healthy humans. In addition, one third of the subjects reported an increase in [[subjective] energy levels while wearing the active patch and no change in energy while wearing the placebo. In contrast, [[only] one of 60 reported that the placebo produced an increase in energy and no energy change with active patch.

Supramolecular Self‐Assembled Multi‐Electron‐Acceptor Organic Molecule as High‐Performance Cathode Material for Li‐Ion Batteries (2021)

Abstract Organic electrode materials possess many advantages such as low toxicity, sustainability, and chemical/structural tunability toward high energy density. However, to compete with inorganic‐based compounds, crucial aspects such as redox potential, capacity, cycling stability, and electronic conductivity need to be improved. Herein, a comprehensive strategy on the molecular design of small organic electron‐acceptor‐molecule—hexaazatrianthranylene (HATA) embedded quinone (HATAQ) is reported. By introducing conjugated quinone moieties into the electron‐deficient hexaazatriphenylene‐derivative core, HATAQ with highly extended π‐conjugation can yield extra‐high capacity for lithium storage, delivering a capacity of 426 mAh g −1 at 200 mA g −1 (0.4C). At an extremely high rate of 10 A g −1 (19C), a reversible capacity of 209 mAh g −1 corresponding to nearly 85% retention is obtained after 1000 cycles. A unique network of unconventional lock‐and‐key hydrogen bonds in the solid‐state facilitates favorable supramolecular 2D layered arrangement, enhancing cycling stability. To the best of the authors’ knowledge, the capacity and rate capability of HATAQ are found to be the best ever reported for organic small‐molecule‐based cathodes. These results together with density functional theory studies provide proof‐of‐concept that the design strategy is promising for the development of organic electrodes with exceptionally high energy density, rate capability, and cycling stability.
SOLVENT HOLD TANK SAMPLE RESULTS FOR MCU-14-395/396 AND MCU-14-497/498: JUNE AND JULY 2014 MONTHLY SAMPLES (2014)

SRNL received two sets of SHT samples (MCU-14-395/396, pulled 6/27/2014, on July 15, 2014 and MCU-14-497/498, pulled on 7/22/2014, on July 27, 2014) for analysis.The samples were analyzed for composition.As with the previous solvent sample results, these analyses indicate that the solvent does not require Isopar L trimming at this time.Since an addition of TiDG and MaxCalix to the SHT occured in early July 2014, the solvent does not require TiDG addition at this time.The current TiDG level (1.9 mM) is above the minimum recommended operating level of 1 mM.
Volume-weighted mean nuclear volume and nuclear area in advanced ovarian carcinoma. An investigation of sampling methods, sample size and reproducibility. (1995)

The influence of sampling issues on the reproducibility of volume-weighted mean nuclear volume (mean v) and mean nuclear area (MNA) assessments in patients with International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics stage III and IV ovarian carcinoma was evaluated. Ten cases representing the whole range of MNA values were selected from a population of 131 cases. The MNA and mean v of the same tumor cell nuclei were determined in one session by switching between the stereologic module and the morphometric module of the video overlay program used. For both MNA and mean v in one series of measurements, tumor nuclei were sampled from the whole tumor area and in a second series from the most poorly differentiated part (the measurement area) in each section, thus giving four series of measurements per case. For all four series, 500 nuclei were point sampled from approximately 100 systematically randomly selected fields of vision, using the automated scanning stage controlled by the morphometry program. These large samples, containing 500 nuclei for each case, were regarded as representative in each case. To investigate the susceptibility of MNA and mean v to variance at lower sampling levels (fields, nuclei), a nested analysis of variance was performed. Then the influence of sample size and sampling method was evaluated by drawing subsets from these 500 nuclei in each case in three different ways (cluster, systematic or random) with four different sample sizes (50, 100, 125, 250). It was shown that for MNA assessed in the measurement area, the variance between patients contributed the most to the total variance.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
A review of public private partnership procurement practice in Malaysia (2016)

The citizens of most developing countries are looking forward to their respective governments for significant improvements in the social and economic infrastructures. Those governments are being faced with inadequate budgeting to address these needs while they see public private partnership procurement system as an opportunity to address those challenges. Despite that some developing countries have recorded little progress in the delivery of public projects under PPP arrangements, some other countries have successfully utilised the opportunities being provided by this procurement method. The aim of this study is to review the implementation of PPP projects in Malaysia so that the experience gained could be used to address the challenges of PPP procurement method in the developing countries. The study showed that the Government of Malaysia had progressively utilised PPP method to deliver infrastructure and services, and also contributed to the growth of her economy. It is recommended that the governments in developing countries should create conducive environment for PPP arrangement to succeed through people oriented policies.
Frequency Separation Actuation Resonance Cancellation for vibration suppression control of two-inertia system using double motors (2014)

Usually, a humanoid robot using motors has low resonances due to the timing belts at each joint, and the low resonances may deteriorate the response performance and positioning precision. In this paper, a joint of humanoid robot which links the motor side to the load side via timing belt is studied. Regarding this system as a two-inertia system, this paper proposes a novel control method which uses multiple motors in both the motor side and the load side for multi-input-single-output (MISO) system. The proposed method achieves vibration suppression and phase stabilization simultaneously. The implementation is relatively simple since there are only two parameters required in the design. Simulations and experimental results also demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed control system.

Thermal optimization of solar biomass hybrid cogeneration plants (2006)

Thermal optimization and performance matching of subsystems in solar biomass hybrid plant are investigated. The plant incorporates solar collector field, multiple fuel boiler, steam turbine, deaerator and economizer units. The solar field consists of line focus parabolic trough collectors. The thermal model is used for comparative study of various variations of parabolic trough collectors; LS3, Euro Trough (ET) and Duke solar excel over others. The matching of the output heat Q u and the temperature to the feed water conditions indicate that ET is the most suitable for the application; its inlet temperature requirement also matches the energy balance of the deaerator.
Crystallization of viruslike particles assembled from flock house virus coat protein expressed in a baculovirus system (1993)

Flock house virus coat protein expressed in a baculovirus system spontaneously assembles into viruslike particles, which undergo an autocatalytic postassembly cleavage equivalent to that of the native virus. Mutations of the asparagine at the Asn/Ala cleavage site result in assembly of provirion-like particles that are cleavage defective. Crystals of the mutant provirions have been grown, and they diffract X rays beyond 3.3-A (0.33-nm) resolution. The crystals are monoclinic space group P2(1) (a = 464.8 A [46.48 nm]; b = 333.9 A [33.39 nm]; c = 325.2 A [32.52 nm]; beta = 91.9 degrees) with two provirion-like particles per unit cell. Thus, it should be possible to determine the high-resolution structure of the provirion, which will be compared with the crystal structure of the mature authentic virion. This collation should provide mechanistic detail for understanding the cleavage event. Moreover, this demonstrates that the baculovirus expression system displays sufficient fidelity to permit crystallographic analysis of the assembly process of biological macromolecules.
Progranulin deficiency promotes neuroinflammation and neuron loss following toxin-induced injury (2012)

Progranulin (PGRN) is a widely expressed secreted protein that is linked to inflammation. In humans, PGRN haploinsufficiency is a major inherited cause of frontotemporal dementia (FTD), but how PGRN deficiency causes neurodegeneration is unknown. Here we show that loss of PGRN results in increased neuron loss in response to injury in the CNS. When exposed acutely to 1-methyl-4-(2'-methylphenyl)-1,2,3,6-tetrahydrophine (MPTP), mice lacking PGRN (Grn⁻/⁻) showed more neuron loss and increased microgliosis compared with wild-type mice. The exacerbated neuron loss was due not to selective vulnerability of Grn⁻/⁻ neurons to MPTP, but rather to an increased microglial inflammatory response. Consistent with this, conditional mutants lacking PGRN in microglia exhibited MPTP-induced phenotypes similar to Grn⁻/⁻ mice. Selective depletion of PGRN from microglia in mixed cortical cultures resulted in increased death of wild-type neurons in the absence of injury. Furthermore, Grn⁻/⁻ microglia treated with LPS/IFN-γ exhibited an amplified inflammatory response, and conditioned media from these microglia promoted death of cultured neurons. Our results indicate that PGRN deficiency leads to dysregulated microglial activation and thereby contributes to increased neuron loss with injury. These findings suggest that PGRN deficiency may cause increased neuron loss in other forms of CNS injury accompanied by neuroinflammation.
Evaluation of Organic Coatings with Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (2004)

This seemingly basic equation actually hides some sophisticated assumptions and concepts. First, it applies only to the time varying, alternating, or ac, components of the current and voltage. Secondly, it is not sufficient to just tell how big the voltage and current signals are, we must also say how they are related in time, since they are both timevarying, ac quantities. Finally, the sizeand time-relationships nearly always depend on the frequency of the alternating current and voltage.

Peroxynitrite releases copper from caeruloplasmin: implications for atherosclerosis (1994)

Peroxynitrite may be formed in the vasculature by the reaction of superoxide with nitric oxide. When the blue copper-containing protein, caeruloplasmin, is incubated with peroxynitrite, copper is released, and ferroxidase activity and the blue colouration are lost. When plasma from normal subjects is incubated with peroxynitrite, the oxidant reacts with numerous plasma constituents but is still able to release copper from caeruloplasmin. As the ferroxidase activity of caeruloplasmin is lost in plasma in the presence of peroxynitrite, a second ferroxidase activity associated with peroxidised lipids, and not inhibited by azide, is formed.

Some Skeptical Comments on Beth Simmons's Mobilizing for Human Rights (2011)

These comments address some theoretical, empirical, and normative claims made by Beth Simmons in her book, Mobilizing for Human Rights. The empirical heart of the book is rigorous, but because of the shallowness of the data and the limits of the empirical methodology, the implications for human rights law are narrow and to a large extent ambiguous.

Evaluation of chondroitin sulfate in Czech Republic dietary supplements (2008)

Chondroitin sulfate (CS) is recommended by EULAR as a SYSADOA (Symptomatic Slow Acting Drug for OA) drug in Europe in the treatment of knee, hip and hand osteoarthritis based on meta-analysis of numerous clinical studies. However, clinical studies and CS efficacy have been evaluated by using a very pure product having specific properties and physico-chemical characteristics as approved by the various National Institutes of Health.The amount and quality of CS from several food supplement preparations in tablet or capsule form were determined. In order to quantify CS, two different analytical approaches were applied after their validation: specific and sensitive agarose-gel electrophoresis and SAX-HPLC determination of the constituent disaccharides after treatment with specific chondroitin lyases. The quantitative determinations were performed using a very high pure European Pharmacopeia CS reference standard having substantially the same properties as the food supplement CS samples.The CS content in finished products evaluated using the two above-mentioned specific validated methods were found to conform to the label specifications only in four of the ten analyzed samples. Four of the food supplement preparations were found to contain approx. 0-1% CS in comparison with 47, 17, 12 and 6% declared on the label. Two products were found to have approx. 30-45% of the declared CS, and one preparation was found to contain approx. 2% hyaluronic acid. SAX-HPLC separation of unsaturated disaccharides for the nutraceutical CS was also used to evaluate its quality and the possible origin. The CS contained in eight supplements was evaluated to be of bovine or porcine origin, one from cartilagineous fishes and one not determined owing to the very low CS content.In conclusion, a multi-analytical approach was used in the direct quantitation and evaluation of the quality and the possible origin of CS contained in food supplement formulations. On the basis of these analytical results, the quality of several dietary supplements is poor and strict regulations for quality control should be mandatory in order to guarantee the manufacture of high quality products. Furthermore, specific and accurate analytical procedures should be enforced for the control of high quality products and applied by quality control laboratories to confirm the purity and label claim of CS in raw materials and nutraceuticals.
Multiplexing systems performance enhancements with all-optical signal processing (2018)

It is believed that an all-optical signal processing based on advanced integrated devices (passive, active or both) would play an important role in future multiplexing systems. In this paper we discuss approaches and techniques we have developed and demonstrated for improving the scalability and performance of Optical Code Division Multiplexing (OCDM).
Ab initio study of KN (2007)

The potential energy curves for the lowest (3)Sigma(-), (3)Pi, and (5)Sigma(-) states of the KN molecule have been calculated by the multireference singles and doubles configuration interaction method, including Davidson's corrections for quadruple excitations [MRCI(+Q)]. It is shown that the former two are bound, while the last one is repulsive. The electronic ground state of KN is predicted as (3)Sigma(-) state, although the term energy of the (3)Pi state is very small, 177.3 cm(-1). The binding energy for the (3)Sigma(-) state is evaluated as 0.838 eV, the rotational constant B(0) as 0.250 63 cm(-1), and harmonic frequency as 324.4 cm(-1). The spin-orbit coupling effects between the (3)Sigma(-) and (3)Pi states of KN are evaluated and discussed. The same MRCI(+Q) computational procedures are applied to the isovalent LiN, KC, KO, and KCl to confirm the accuracy of present calculations. Theoretical spectroscopic constants presented here will inspire experimental studies of KN.
Nontuberculous mycobacteria in bronchiectasis: prevalence and patient characteristics (2006)

The aim of the current study was to investigate the prevalence and clinical associations of nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) in a well-characterised cohort of patients with adult-onset bronchiectasis. The sputum of all patients attending a tertiary referral bronchiectasis clinic between April 2002 and August 2003 was examined for mycobacteria as part of an extensive diagnostic work-up. NTM-positive patients subsequently had further sputa examined. A modified bronchiectasis scoring system was applied to all high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) scans from NTM-positive patients, and a matched cohort without NTM. Out of 98 patients attending the clinic, 10 had NTM in their sputum on first culture; of those, eight provided multiple positive cultures. Three patients were treated for NTM infection. A higher proportion of NTM-positive than -negative patients were subsequently diagnosed with cystic fibrosis (two out of nine versus two out of 75). On HRCT scoring, more patients in the NTM-positive group had peripheral mucus plugging than in the NTM-negative group. In the current prospective study of a large cohort of patients with bronchiectasis, 10% cultured positive for nontuberculous mycobacteria in a random clinic sputum sample. Few clinical parameters were helpful in discriminating between groups, except for a higher prevalence of previously undiagnosed cystic fibrosis and of peripheral mucus plugging on high-resolution computed tomography in the nontuberculous mycobacteria group.
Alternative sustainable livelihood opportunities for rural youth men and women empowerment through mud crab farming at Indian Sunderban (2016)

The study was conducted to assess the alternative livelihood conditions through mud crab (Scylla serrata) farming in vast area in Basanti and Gosaba districts in different areas in Sundarban by using semi-structured and pre-tested interview schedule in order to assess the alternative livelihood for rural youth men and women empowerment in mud crab farming. The present study revealed that rural youth men and women were played an integral role in mud crab farming in Sunderban of West Bengal. The entire family members of the crab farmers were involved in different activities like feeding, stocking, and other pre stocking and post stocking management in crab farming. Annual income of the crab collectors was less than USD. 2100-2300 where the lowest annual income of the crab fatteners was USD. 2300-2800. Natural disasters and other constraints were also affected the agricultural livelihood of sunderban farmers including crab farming. So, the present study of crab collection and fattening are alternative livelihood and sustainable farming for them in a sustainable practice.
