An anthropometric method for fractionation of skin, adipose, bone, muscle and residual tissue masses in males and females age 6 to 77 years (1988)

An anthropometric human body composition method was designed t,o predict skin, adipose.muscle, bone and residual tissue masses in males and females aged from 6 to 77 years.Based on departures from a defined unisex reference human the design of the method had two constraints: (1'1 the sum of the predicted fractional masses was to approximate the individual obtained body weight in 1 1 samples representing a wide variety of human physique and.(2) the individual tissue masses and the sum was to be consistent with anatomical evidence from the dissection of 12 male and 13 female human cadavers.When applied t o all living subjects ( n = 1669) the standard error of est,imate (SEE1 for the prediction of body weight \vas 3.00kg and the correlation coefficient 0.087.with a tendency toward overprediction of the body mass by 1 . .The SEE'S for the samples ranged from 0.97kg for female lightweight rowers to 2.94kg for males age 6-l7years.In 9 of the 11 samples the correlation coefficients ranged from 0.985 for girls aged 6-17 years to 0.931 for female university students.hlale and female lightweight rowers showed the lowest coridation (0.608 and 0.509 respect,ively).indicative of' the minimum variab1it.g in their body weight.The sum of the predicted fractional tissue masses accounted for total body weight within 4% across all samples with the exception of body builders.An 8% error in this group was attributed to their extreme physique and possible dehydration at the time of measuring.The performance of the method, which was developed independently of the cadaver sample, was generally superior to other-methods built and validated on the cadaver data.There exists potential for further refinement with computer optimization, augmented with medical imaging data and further cadaver evidence.iii DEDICATION To Jindrich Matiepka, in recognition of his legacy to the stud!. of human physique.it was a major loss for students of human physique that Matiegka's approach, providing physical anthropometry with its vital "fourth dimension" remained for years unnoticed (Brozek, 1960).
Cost-Efficient Design of an Energy-Neutral UAV-Based Mobile Network (2022)

This work proposes a framework to design a cost-efficient unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV)-based energy-neutral (EN) system deployed to harvest data from a set of internet-of-things (IoT) nodes. The energy-neutrality refers to the zero-sum balance between energy harvested, stored, and consumed during operation, which is a game-changer when a connection to the electricity grid is not available/feasible. This involves employing an off-grid charging station (CS) comprising of photovoltaic (PV) panels and batteries that provide enough energy to recharge the UAV-based aerial access points (AAPs). The investment cost is determined by the number of AAPs, PV panels, and ground battery units. Its minimization cannot be achieved using conventional optimization tools due to the non-tractable form of the CS load. Therefore, a novel wave-based method is proposed to represent the load profile as a proportional function of the required number of AAPs, so as to directly relate the CS design to the trajectory optimization. Compared to baseline scenarios, the proposed trajectory design can halve the time and energy consumption; the investment cost varies with the time and season of service; the off-grid CS is particularly advantageous in rural areas, while in urban areas its cost is comparable to that of a grid-connected alternative.
Crossroads of Drug Abuse and HIV Infection: Neurotoxicity and CNS Reservoir (2022)

Drug abuse is a common comorbidity in people infected with HIV. HIV-infected individuals who abuse drugs are a key population who frequently experience suboptimal outcomes along the HIV continuum of care. A modest proportion of HIV-infected individuals develop HIV-associated neurocognitive issues, the severity of which further increases with drug abuse. Moreover, the tendency of the virus to go into latency in certain cellular reservoirs again complicates the elimination of HIV and HIV-associated illnesses. Antiretroviral therapy (ART) successfully decreased the overall viral load in infected people, yet it does not effectively eliminate the virus from all latent reservoirs. Although ART increased the life expectancy of infected individuals, it showed inconsistent improvement in CNS functioning, thus decreasing the quality of life. Research efforts have been dedicated to identifying common mechanisms through which HIV and drug abuse lead to neurotoxicity and CNS dysfunction. Therefore, in order to develop an effective treatment regimen to treat neurocognitive and related symptoms in HIV-infected patients, it is crucial to understand the involved mechanisms of neurotoxicity. Eventually, those mechanisms could lead the way to design and develop novel therapeutic strategies addressing both CNS HIV reservoir and illicit drug use by HIV patients.
Adaptive noise cancellation with directional microphones (1996)

The use of adaptive noise cancellation in communication devices has now been under investigation for more than two decades. Early studies predicted large SNR gains that were rarely obtained when actual devices were tested in typical acoustic noise environments. One of the problems encountered was the lack of coherence between the ‘‘noise’’ sensor and the actual corrupting noise signal. The measured low coherence values were most probably due to time-varying multipath, multiple uncorrelated noise sources, and nonlinearities in the signal and noise transmission paths. This talk will address the expected noise cancellation that can be obtained by using directional microphones to spatially filter the acoustic field into signal-plus-noise and noise channels. Analytical results for spherically and cylindrically isotropic noise fields will be shown and discussed.
Comparison of Enoxaparin and Warfarin for the Prevention of Venous Thromboembolic Disease After Total Hip Arthroplasty. Evaluation During Hospitalization and Three Months After Discharge* (1999)

Inpatient programs providing treatment with either enoxaparin (thirty milligrams every twelve hours) or adjusted-dose warfarin for a mean of 7.3 days afforded protection against venous thromboembolic disease, with overall rates of morbidity and mortality of 3.7 and 0.6 percent, respectively, and a very low rate of major bleeding complications (0.9 percent) for three months after total hip arthroplasty. During hospitalization, the patients managed with enoxaparin had a lower rate of venous thromboembolic disease than those managed with adjusted-dose warfarin (p = 0.0083). This benefit was lost after the medication was discontinued, with no difference in the prevalences of venous thromboembolic disease between the two groups at three months after discharge from the hospital.
NMR Identification and MS Conformation of the Scopolamine Neurotoxin (2007)

An unidentified white powder collected as evidence in an intelligence investigation was characterized exclusively by NMR analysis. A small fraction of the powder dissolved in D2O was subjected to quantitative 1H and 13C{1H} experiments and a series of two-dimensional correlation techniques, including 1H-1H COSY and NOESY as well as 1H-(exp 13)C HSQC and HMBC spectroscopy. These were used to elucidate the molecular structure of the powder's major component and positively identify it as the scopolamine biotoxin. To confirm the NMR results, an ethanol/H2O solution of the powder was analyzed by direct infusion into an ion trap mass spectrometer. A prominent base signal at m/z 304.1 was observed, consistent with the protonated molecular ion of scopolamine. Comparisons of 1H and `3C chemical shift values and JHH values measured from the NMR data were found to agree very favorably with previously reported values for scopolamine in D2O.
Encoding and reconstruction of incomplete 3-D video objects (2000)

A new approach for compact representation, MPEG-4 encoding, and reconstruction of video objects captured by an uncalibrated system of multiple cameras is presented. The method is based on the incomplete 3-D (I3D) technique, which was initially investigated for stereo video objects captured by parallel cameras. Non-overlapping portions of the object are extracted from the reference views, each view having the corresponding portion with the highest resolution. This way, the redundancy of the initial multiview data is reduced. The areas which are extracted from the basis views are denoted as areas of interest. The output of the analysis stage, i.e., the areas of interest and the corresponding parts of the disparity fields are encoded in the MPEG-4 bitstream. Disparity fields define the correspondence relations between the reference views. The view synthesis is performed by disparity-oriented reprojection of the areas of interest into the virtual view plane and can be seen as an intermediate postprocessing stage between the decoder and the scene compositor. This work performs an extension from parallel stereo views to arbitrary configured multi-views with new analysis and synthesis algorithms. Moreover, a two-way interaction is built between the analysis and reconstruction stages, which provides the tradeoff between the final image quality and amount of data transmitted. The focus is on a low-complexity solution enabling online processing capability while preserving the MPEG-4 compatibility of the I3D representation. It is finally shown that our method yields quite convincing results despite the minimal data used and the approximations involved.
Microvirgula aerodenitrificans gen. nov., sp. nov., a new Gram-negative bacterium exhibiting co-respiration of oxygen and nitrogen oxides up to oxygen-saturated conditions (1998)

A denitrifier micro-organism was isolated from an upflow denitrifying filter inoculated with an activated sludge. The cells were Gram-negative, catalase- and oxidase-positive curved rods and very motile. They were aerobic as well as anoxic heterotrophs that had an atypical respiratory type of metabolism in which oxygen and nitrogen oxides were used simultaneously as terminal electron acceptors. The G&C content was 65 mol%. Our isolate was phenotypically similar to Comamonas testosteroni, according to classical systematic classification systems. However, a phylogenetic analysis based on the 165 rRNA sequence showed that the aerobic denitrifier could not be assigned to any currently recognized genus. For these reasons a new genus and species, Microvirgula aerodenitrificans gen. nov., sp. nov., is proposed, for which SGLY2T is the type strain.
Prognostic Significance of Cyclooxygenase-2 in Oropharyngeal Squamous Cell Carcinoma (2004)

COX-2 was the most important predictor of poor survival in this patient cohort. In patients with oropharyngeal SCC treated with external-beam radiation therapy, overexpression of COX-2 may affect clinical outcome, and COX-2 may therefore prove valuable both as a prognostic factor and as a therapeutic target.
Mauna Kea and the work of the Imiloa Center (2010)

This paper will review the work of the Imiloa Astronomy Center in Hilo, Hawaii, in the light of controversies about the status of Mauna Kea, and Hawaii’s post-contact history of cultural encounters and (mis-)understandings. 1. The Imiloa Astronomy Center The Big Island of Hawaii in the middle of the Pacific Ocean is home to one of the world’s two major astronomical observatories, the Mauna Kea Observatory (MKO). At an altitude of 4,200 metres above sea level, its telescopes sit atop the largest mountain on Earth. The first telescope on Mauna Kea, the University of Hawaii 88”, opened in 1970. Until recently, however, visitors to Hawaii would have found little to indicate the importance of the island to astronomers internationally, let alone to celebrate its achievements. The Imiloa Astronomy Center and its gardens The Imiloa Astronomy Center in Hilo opened in 2006, after much hard fundraising by the State’s veteran Senator, Daniel Inoue. From its inception, however, the Imiloa Center was conceived of, and developed as, much more than a standard astronomy centre, complete with exhibits, images and a planetarium. Imiloa’s function was to unify the traditional seafaring culture of the Polynesian settlers, who crossed the Pacific some time in the early centuries AD, and their understandings and stories of the cosmos with the latest results from modern astronomy. Quite a challenge! 2. Some historical background In 1959, the British science politician and novelist C.P. Snow drew attention to what he saw as growing gulf between the “traditional, mainly literary” culture, and the upcoming scientific enterprise [1]. Whilst much of Snow’s thesis was based on his experience of the UK, he saw it as a problem affecting “the whole of Western society”, with major implications for the developing, as well as the developed, worlds. Snow saw the problem as one of misunderstanding leading to growing hostility. The Death of Cook, by George Carter The history of Hawaii, viewed from the standpoint of Europeans/Americans starts with just such a cultural misunderstanding. When Captain James Cook arrived for the second time in the islands, in 1779, he had been identified in Hawaiian eyes with the god Lono [2]. Very nice for Cook, but when he behaved out of keeping with what was expected from Lono, he set in train a series of events that were to lead to his death on the shore of Kealakekua Bay.

A Tetranuclear Copper(II)/Calcium(II) Complex as Dual Chemosensor for Colorimetric and Fluorescent Detection of Non‐Steroidal Anti‐Inflammatory Drugs (2023)

The tetranuclear Cu<sup>2+</sup> /Ca<sup>2+</sup> /Ca2<sup>+</sup> /Cu<sup>2+</sup> complex based on Malten ligand has been investigated as a platform for anion binding. Simple organic carboxylates and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) have been tested, revealing the ability of the platform to bind them. The receiving platform hosts at least two guests in solution although a third anion can be bound, as suggested by X-ray diffraction analysis. The addition of the anions is accompanied by a color change of the solution, making the system a colorimetric sensor for carboxylates (LOD values comprised between 3.6 and 20.7 ppm). A fluorescent system consisting of the 2-(3-oxido-6-oxoxanthen-9-yl)benzoate (fluorescein anion) linked to the tetranuclear platform has been also prepared and used in a chemosensing ensemble approach to signal the presence of the selected anions (Log K between 2.6 and 5.6 for the addition of two guests). The latter also works in a paper strip test, offering the chemosensor a possible practical application.

Dihedral-Angle Dependence of Intermolecular Transfer Integrals in BEDT-BDT-Based Radical-Cation Salts with θ-Type Molecular Arrangements (2021)

We report the structural and physical properties of a new organic Mott insulator (BEDT-BDT)AsF6 (BEDT-BDT: benzo[1,2-g:4,5-g′]bis(thieno[2,3-b][1,4dithiin). This AsF6 salt has the same structure as the PF6 salt. Although the anions are disordered, the donor molecules form a θ-type arrangement. The temperature dependence of the resistivity exhibits semiconducting behavior. The static magnetic susceptibility follows Curie–Weiss law over a wide temperature range; however, below 25 K, the magnetic susceptibility is in agreement with a one-dimensional chain model with the exchange coupling J = 7.4 K. No structural phase transition was observed down to 93 K. At 270 K, the Fermi surface calculated by the tight-binding approximation is a two-dimensional cylinder; however, it is significantly distorted at 93 K. This is because the dihedral angles between the BEDT-BDT molecules become larger due to lattice shrinkage at low temperatures, which results in a smaller transfer integral (t1) along the stack direction. This slight change in the dihedral angle gives rise to a significant change in the electronic structure of the AsF6 salt. Radical-cation salts using BEDT-BDT, in which the highest occupied molecular orbital does not have a dominant sign throughout the molecule, are sensitive to slight differences in the overlap between the molecules, and their electronic structures are more variable than those of conventional θ-type conductors.
435-P: Novel Approach to the Detection and the Treatment of Vulnerable Coronary Plaques Using Color Mapped Coronary CT Angiography and Optimal Medical Therapy Including Anti-PCSK9 Antibody (2020)

Background: Coronary CT angiography (CCTA) has been applied to detect vulnerable plaques having low attenuation of CT value and positive remodeling which have been associated with acute coronary syndrome. The present study was performed to establish a novel approach to qualitative and quantitative analysis of coronary plaque, especially early detection of high-risk plaque by visualizing intra-plaque localization of necrotic core and the evaluation of plaque stabilizing effect of optimal medical therapy (OMT) including anti-PCSK9 antibody. Methods: We developed color mapped CCTA. The vulnerable plaques are identified by red color (CT attenuation: 0-30) and yellow color (CT attenuation: 30-60). The effect of OMT including anti-PCSK9 antibody on the vulnerable plaques in diabetic patients was studied. Results: Color mapped CCTA clearly demonstrated the presence of necrotic core (red in yellow sign) in vulnerable plaque. After 12 months administration of anti-PCSK9 antibody, an improvement of vulnerable plaque e.g., disappearance of necrotic core in vulnerable plaque was observed. Conclusion: Color mapped CCTA provides a new insight into early detection of high-risk plaque by visualizing intra-plaque localization of necrotic core, also contributes to the evaluation of drugs which may improve vulnerable plaques.

Sonic boom of the oblique flying wing (1994)

This article presents an analysis of oblique flying wing sonic boom characteristics. This long asymmetric wing provides a reduction in sonic boom loudness as well as aerodynamic and structural improvements over conventional transports. The wing is represented by an oblique line equivalent area distribution, a panel model, and a high-definition surface model. The near-field pressure signature of the first two representations is found using the Whitham F-function method applied to the oblique equivalent area distribution and the panel model. The near-field pressure distribution of the high-definition surface model was found using TranAir, a full-potential analysis code. Good agreement between the methods was found. The near-field signature is extrapolated through the standard atmosphere by the Thomas waveform parameter method. The asymmetry in the geometry leads to an asymmetrical sonic boom under the flight track. The bow shock amplitude is typically between 50-75 N/m2 depending on the size, weight, and altitude of the configuration. The aft shock has only one-half the amplitude of the bow shock due to favorable volume-lift interference. This article also includes a simple method to estimate the maximum sonic boom overpressures of oblique flying wings.
Preparation of polydivinylbenzene/natural rubber capsule encapsulating octadecane: Influence of natural rubber molecular weight and content (2011)

The encapsulation of octadecane (OD) as heat storage material was studied. The core-shell polydivinylbenzene (PDVB)/natural rubber (NR) capsules encapsulating OD was prepared using the Self-assembling of Phase Separated Polymer (SaPSeP) method by suspension polymerization. The mixture of dispersed phase consisting of DVB, NR, OD and benzoyl peroxide was added in polyvinyl alcohol aqueous solution and then homogenized at 5,000 rpm for 5 minutes. The obtained monomer droplet emulsion was subsequently polymerized at 80C for 8 hours resulting in PDVB/NR capsule encapsulating OD. The influence of molecular weight and content of NR on the encapsulation efficiency and thermal properties of the encapsulated OD were investigated. It was found that both factors affected on the preparation of PDVB/ NR/OD capsule. High molecular weight NR restricted phase separation of formed PDVB. High NR content also reduced phase separation of PDVB due to the increase of internal viscosity. Then, only the incorporation of appropriate molecular weight and content of NR resulted in the formation of PDVB/NR/OD capsule.

The human non‐lineage antigen CD46 (HuLy‐m5) and primate retroviral gp70 molecules share protein‐defined antigenic determinants (1989)

The CD46 lymphocyte surface antigen of man (until recently called HuLy-m5), and defined by the E4.3 monoclonal antibody (MoAb), shares cross-reactive antigenic epitopes with the envelope gp70 glycoproteins of gibbon ape leukaemia virus (GaLV) and Mason Pfizer monkey virus (MPMV) primate retroviruses. It is now shown that the cross-reactive antigenic epitope shared by these three molecules is determined solely by the protein portion of these glycoproteins, and that the N-linked and O-linked carbohydrate moieties of these glycoproteins do not directly or sterically contribute to the antigenic cross-reactivity. When CD46 molecules (mol.wt = 66 and 56 kDa) from human thymocytes were stripped of sialic acid with neuraminidase, or stripped of N-linked carbohydrate with endoglycosidase F, the E4.3 MoAb was still able to bind and immunoprecipitate the protein core of CD46 (mol.wt = 56 and 44 kDa). Similarly, polyclonal antisera to GaLV and MPMV precipitated deglycosylated CD46, although at a reduced efficiency. The cross-reacting E4.3 MoAb, anti-GaLV and anti-MPMV antisera also immunoprecipitated HuLy-m5 primary translation protein lacking N- or O-linked carbohydrate from the in vitro translation products of human thymocyte mRNA. Thus, the antigenic cross-reactivity of CD46 molecules with GaLV gp70 and MPMV gp70 is both specific and due to protein structure rather than to carbohydrate; the findings suggest that retroviruses may have acquired a functional epitope from human CD46 or that an endogenous retroviral sequence of human may partially or completely encode the CD46 antigen.
