Acute inflammatory neuropathy with monoclonal anti-GM2 IgM antibodies, IgM-κ paraprotein and additional autoimmune processes in association with a diffuse large B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (2013)

Lymphoproliferative disorders are often associated with autoimmune processes preceding or following the occurrence of a lymphoma. Here, we describe a patient with a history of recurrent diffuse large B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma who suffered from an acute inflammatory neuropathy with specific monoclonal anti-GM2 IgM antibodies and associated IgM-κ paraprotein. It was possible in this case to prove that both, anti-GM2 IgM antibodies and IgM-κ paraprotein, share the same binding characteristic. In addition, the patient possibly suffered from an immune thrombocytopenia and an early-stage bullous pemphigoid with anti-BP-230 IgG antibodies. Intravenous immunoglobulin and plasmapheresis alleviated the acute neuropathy and thrombocytopenia, while the bullous pemphigoid has been aggravated. In summary, the simultaneous occurrence of multiple autoimmune processes was a sign of a dysfunctional immune system preceding the relapse of a B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.
Electrochemical Growth of CuInSe2 Compounds on Polycrystalline Mo Films Studied by Raman and Impedance Spectroscopy (2009)

The growth process of Cu-In-Se compounds was investigated by in-situ electrochemical techniques and ex-situ XPS and Raman spectroscopy. The growth can be divided in three well separated steps. In a first stage, the Cu concentration is high, leading to the formation of a Cu-rich binary phase, Cu2Se, which acts as a precursor for Se(IV) reduction into elemental Se(0). When the surface concentration of elemental Se(0) is high enough, a new surface phase is formed with a stoichiometry close to CuSe2. It acts as a catalytic site for indium incorporation. This results in the formation of CuInSe2 and Cu-poor chalcopyrite phases. The proportions of the different phases evolve during the growth. This complex mechanism is in agreement with the compositional, structural and electrical properties of the samples as a function of the thickness.
Macrophage ABCA1 and ABCG1, but not SR-BI, promote macrophage reverse cholesterol transport in vivo (2007)

Macrophage ATP-binding cassette transporter A1 (ABCA1), scavenger receptor class B type I (SR-BI), and ABCG1 have been shown to promote cholesterol efflux to extracellular acceptors in vitro and influence atherosclerosis in mice, but their roles in mediating reverse cholesterol transport (RCT) from macrophages in vivo are unknown. Using an assay of macrophage RCT in mice, we found that primary macrophages lacking ABCA1 had a significant reduction in macrophage RCT in vivo, demonstrating the importance of ABCA1 in promoting macrophage RCT, however substantial residual RCT exists in the absence of macrophage ABCA1. Using primary macrophages deficient in SR-BI expression, we found that macrophage SR-BI, which was shown to promote cholesterol efflux in vitro, does not contribute to macrophage RCT in vivo. To investigate whether macrophage ABCG1 is involved in macrophage RCT in vivo, we used ABCG1-overexpressing, -knockdown, and -knockout macrophages. We show that increased macrophage ABCG1 expression significantly promoted while knockdown or knockout of macrophage ABCG1 expression significantly reduced macrophage RCT in vivo. Finally, we show that there was a greater decrease in macrophage RCT from cells where both ABCA1 and ABCG1 expression were knocked down than from ABCG1-knockdown cells. These results demonstrate that ABCA1 and ABCG1, but not SR-BI, promote macrophage RCT in vivo and are additive in their effects.
The Purification and Properties of a Nucleotide Pyrophosphatase of Rat Liver Nuclei (1965)

cleotide pyrophosphatase activit’y was routinely assayed with UDP-glucose as the substrate. The test system (total volume, 3.00 ml) was 100 mM in Tris-HCI buffer (pH S.5), 5.2 mM in MgSO+ 0.27 mM in NADP, and 0.20 mM in UDP-glucose and contained nucleotide pyrophosphatase and 0.1 ml or more of a solution of phosphoglucomutase (0.09 mg per ml) and glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase (0.032 mg per ml) that was 70 mM in imidazole and 2 mM in MgS04. A control was prepared that contained the ingredients in the reaction system with the exception of UDP-glucose. When purified nucleotide pyrophosphatase was available, the pyrophosphatase, instead of the UDP-glucose, was sometimes left out of the control. The reaction was followed by measuring NADP reduction spectrophotometrically at 340 rnp at room temperature. When glucose l-phosphate (at 0.20 mM) was tested in the reaction system in place of UDP-glucose, the initial velocity was at least 0.34 pmole of NADPH formed per minute. This is at least 10 to 50 times the velocity obtained with UDP-glucose. One unit of nucleotide pyrophosphatase activity is defined as the amount of enzyme that catalyzes the formation of NADPH at an initial velocity of 1.00 pmole per minute. Activity is expressed as units per ml of enzyme, and specific activity is expressed as units per mg of protein. This assay was used with all substrates that could form glucose l-phosphate upon hydrolysis. The initial velocity varied linearly with the amount of enzyme added as seen in Fig. 1. Assay Method B for Nucleotide Pyrophosphatase Activity-As an alternative method the following procedure was used. The test system (total volume, 3.00 ml) was 100 mM in Tris-HCl buffer (pH 8.5) and 5.2 mM in MgS04, and contained nucleotide pyrophosphatase and the appropriate substrate. Controls were prepared by omission of enzyme or substrate. After addition of the substrate, the solutions were mixed and incubated at 37”. The reaction was followed by measuring loss of substrate, as described in the section “Other Measurements” below. When NAD was the substrate, nicotinamide was frequently included at 100 mM to inhibit any NAD nucleotidase activity. The specific activity was expressed as the micromoles of substrate destroyed per minute per mg of protein. When the substrate was ADP, all tubes were incubated at 37” for the
Respiration Monitoring through Thoraco-Abdominal Video with an LSTM (2016)

In this manuscript, we demonstrate the estimation of the respiratory signal from a thoraco-abdominal video of a person using an LSTM based learning model. The video is captured with a regular consumer grade camera and the respiratory signal is recorded using an impedance pneumograph simultaneously. The optical flow capturing the motion of the chest wall during an inhalation and exhalation is extracted at each video frame and fed as features to the LSTM model. We then train the LSTM model to estimate the respiratory signal. We fix the design parameters of the LSTM model based on cross-validation. The comparison between the predicted and the ground-truth pneumograph signal shows that the trained LSTM model predicts the respiratory signal quite accurately achieving a strong amplitude correlation of 0.74. Moreover, we estimate the respiration rates from the predicted respiratory signal. The estimated respiration rates have less than ±3 BPM error for more than 95% cases. Also, we achieve a correlation of 0.9 between the ground-truth respiration rates and the estimated respiration rates.
Electron Paramagnetic Resonance Spectra of Pentagonal Bipyramidal Gadolinium Complexes (2023)

Gadolinium is a special case in spectroscopy because of the near isotropic nature of the 4f<sup>7</sup> configuration of the +3 oxidation state. Gd<sup>3+</sup> complexes have been studied in several symmetries to understand the underlying mechanisms of the ground state splitting. The abundance of information in Gd<sup>3+</sup> spectra can be used as a probe for properties of the other rare earth ions in the same complexes. In this work, the zero-field splitting (ZFS) of a series of Gd<sup>3+</sup> pentagonal bipyramidal complexes of the form [GdX<sub>1</sub>X<sub>2</sub>(L<sub>eq</sub>)<sub>5</sub>]<sup><i>n</i>+</sup> [<i>n</i> = 1, X = axial ligands: Cl<sup>-</sup>, <sup>-</sup>O<sup><i>t</i></sup>Bu, <sup>-</sup>OArF<sub>5</sub> or <i>n</i> = 3, X = <sup><i>t</i></sup>BuPO(NH<sup><i>i</i></sup>Pr)<sub>2</sub>, L<sub>eq</sub> = equatorial ligand: Py, THF or H<sub>2</sub>O] with near fivefold symmetry axes along X<sup>1</sup>-Gd-X<sup>2</sup> was investigated. The ZFS parameters were determined by fitting of room-temperature continuous wave electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectra (at X-, K-, and Q-band) to a spin Hamiltonian incorporating extended Stevens operators compatible with <i>C</i><sub>5</sub> symmetry. Examination of the acquired parameters led to the conclusion that the ZFS is dominated by the <i>B</i><sub>2</sub><sup>0</sup> term and that the magnitude of <i>B</i><sub>2</sub><sup>0</sup> is almost entirely dependent on, and inversely proportional to, the donor strength of the axial ligands. Surveying the continuous shape measure and the X<sup>1</sup>-Gd-X<sup>2</sup> angle of the complexes showed that there is some correlation between the proximity of each complex to <i>D</i><sub>5<i>h</i></sub> symmetry and the magnitude of the <i>B</i><sub>6</sub><sup>5</sup> parameter, but that the deformation of the X<sup>1</sup>-Gd-X<sup>2</sup> angle is more significant than other distortions. Finally, the magnitude of <i>B</i><sub>2</sub><sup>0</sup> was found to be inversely proportional to the thermal barrier for the reversal of the magnetic moment (<i>U</i><sub>eff</sub>) of the corresponding isostructural Dy<sup>3+</sup> complexes.
Geographic extensions for HTTP transactions (2007)

This memo describes a method of adding simple geographic position or
region information to HTTP transactions using extension headers. It
allows location-based services on the World Wide Web, without the
additional overhead of geographic query requests and possibly
graphical input. Extension headers transmit predefined or detected
position information to reflect a location that the requesting agent
is interested in. This information may be used by a server to present
appropriate position-dependent responses, such as search engine
results or weather maps.
An Electrooptical Automatic Gain Control (1969)

The laser beam affords a valuable carrier medium for an optical calmunication system, but such a system for transmission through the atmosphere is subjected to wide fluctuations in received signal strength because of turbulence. An electrooptical automatic gain control system em has been studied and built which can substantially reduce the effect of these fluctuations. The effect of system parameters on the control characteristics are considered.
Toward truly personal chatbots (2018)

Chatbots, i.e., conversational software agents able to interact with users via instant messaging channels like Messenger, WhatsApp or SMS, have the power to substantively simplify human-computer interaction thanks to their natural language paradigm. While this certainly helps to lower barriers, state-of-the-art chatbots prevalently provide access to generic, non-personalized features with relatively little usefulness. This may hinder adoption. To provide users with real value, we envision a kind of chatbot that is personal and helpful by providing services that are chosen and configured by the users themselves, for themselves. As the development of a one-size-fits-all, yet flexible and customizable bot is hard, if not impossible, we discuss requirements and design options that directly put the user into control of their own personal bot.
[Influence of tension-free midurethral sling surgery on sexual function in women with stress urinary incontinence]. (2014)

TVT and TVT-O surgery have no significant difference in influence on sexual function in women between each other, but the patients who suffer from CCI before the surgery will have a better sexual function improvement.
Complete heart block in patients with peroneal muscular atrophy (1971)

Summary Two patients with peroneal muscular atrophy who also had complete heart block are reported. The pathogenesis of heart block in one of these patients was investigated by left ventricular volume analysis which showed a normal ejection fraction, indicating intact left ventricular function. This patient in addition had a normal coronary arteriogram. These findings suggest that heart block in patients with peroneal muscular atrophy may be due to primary conduction tissue disease rather than cardiomyopathy.
Flow Visualization of a Centrifugal Blood Pump with Double Pivot Bearing (2002)

A centrifugal blood pump with a double pivot impeller and an eccentric inlet port is under development for implantable artificial heart by Baylor college of medicine/Miwatec Co. Ltd. To eliminate fluid dynamic causes for thrombus formation, flow visualization analysis was conducted to evaluate the flow patterns and the shear rate distributions. It was found that an eccentric vortex is formed in the pump apart from the pivot center as the prerotation caused by the eccentric inlet port. Since a similar eccentric vortex is also formed behind the impeller, the pivot is exposed to sinusoidally changing shear rate. The minimum value was found to be 650(sec)_<-1>. It was found that the value can be increased to more than 150% when the male pivot is lifted from the female pivot by 0.6mm.

The state of critical care ultrasound training in Europe: A survey of trainers and a comparison of available accreditation programmes (2017)

There is a need for a well-structured and competent CCUS training program. The use of ultrasound in critical care for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes has been increasing exponentially. Once the remit of radiologists and cardiologists, point-of-care ultrasound and focused echocardiography is becoming an increasingly routine instrument for all acute specialties including intensive care medicine, despite the lack of evidence that it improves patient mortality in the ICU setting.
Recent Advances in Reactive Ion Etching and Applications of High-Aspect-Ratio Microfabrication (2021)

This paper reviews the recent advances in reaction-ion etching (RIE) for application in high-aspect-ratio microfabrication. High-aspect-ratio etching of materials used in micro- and nanofabrication has become a very important enabling technology particularly for bulk micromachining applications, but increasingly also for mainstream integrated circuit technology such as three-dimensional multi-functional systems integration. The characteristics of traditional RIE allow for high levels of anisotropy compared to competing technologies, which is important in microsystems device fabrication for a number of reasons, primarily because it allows the resultant device dimensions to be more accurately and precisely controlled. This directly leads to a reduction in development costs as well as improved production yields. Nevertheless, traditional RIE was limited to moderate etch depths (e.g., a few microns). More recent developments in newer RIE methods and equipment have enabled considerably deeper etches and higher aspect ratios compared to traditional RIE methods and have revolutionized bulk micromachining technologies. The most widely known of these technologies is called the inductively-coupled plasma (ICP) deep reactive ion etching (DRIE) and this has become a mainstay for development and production of silicon-based micro- and nano-machined devices. This paper will review deep high-aspect-ratio reactive ion etching technologies for silicon, fused silica (quartz), glass, silicon carbide, compound semiconductors and piezoelectric materials.
Susceptibility of White-Tailed Deer to Rift Valley Fever Virus (2018)

Rift Valley fever virus, a zoonotic arbovirus, poses major health threats to livestock and humans if introduced into the United States. White-tailed deer, which are abundant throughout the country, might be sentinel animals for arboviruses. We determined the susceptibility of these deer to this virus and provide evidence for a potentially major epidemiologic role.
Artificial Intelligence Expert System for Minimizing Solid Waste during Highway Construction Activities (2009)

Abstract — The development and the main features of an Artificial Intelligence rapid prototyping expert system for highway construction, called Highway Construction Expert System (HCES), are described. This rapid prototyping has been developed for giving advices on how to minimise the impact of solid waste management in the construction site. Using Matlab, an object-oriented model was developed where the rule-based reasoning and other decision processes operate on or across objects. The knowledge and experience were acquired from various textural sources. Results from this study can be demonstrated as a typical output transcript image of recommendations for the input data that are presented to the user via PDF file format. For an encouragement and as a focusing device, this rapid prototype was based solely on texts and was developed in the early stages of the development of
A Metalanguage for Structural Operational Semantics. (2007)

We present MLSOS, a functional metalanguage for encoding definitions of structural operational semantics. The key features of this language are inbuilt support for representing object-language binding structures and performing proof-search. MLSOS uses the nominal approach to dealing with binders and a FreshML-style generative treatment of atoms. This allows us to prototype systems in a natural way, starting from a semi-formal specification. We outline the main design choices behind the language and illustrate its use. 1

IEEE 802.1lk: Improving Confidence in Radio Resource Measurements (2006)

New radio resource measurements for the wireless local area network IEEE 802.11trade standard are defined in the standard extension IEEE 802.11k. Various types of measurements are defined that enable 802.11 stations to request measurements from other stations, for example in order to measure how occupied a frequency channel is. The measurement results are reported back to the requesting station in standardized frames. In this paper, we discuss how relevant and useful measurement results are in general. A method to estimate the confidence of such measurement results is proposed. It is proposed to apply the concept of confidence intervals to 802.11k radio resource measurements, similarly to how they are applied to stochastic simulation, where estimating the confidence of results is necessary to provide meaningful data. Our proposed method allows optimizing measurement durations and determining the optimal repetition rate of measurements. The method also allows estimating how long after the end of a measurement the reported results will represent the true reality
The bolster technique utilising small intestinal submucosa wound matrix: A novel approach to wound treatment (2019)

Managing acute wounds with soft tissue loss can be very challenging for both patients and physicians. Successful wound healing depends on several factors including exudate control, prevention of infection, and moisture balance. In this case series, we describe a novel combination treatment method utilising small intestinal submucosa wound matrix (SISWM) with the bolster technique as a way of assisting the integration of collagen-based wound treatment products into the base of complex wounds with the intent of restoring a dysfunctional extracellular matrix. In case 1, a 44-year-old female presented with an acute wound resulting from a spider bite to the posterior aspect of the right knee. In case 2, a 12-year-old male sustained multiple injuries to his right foot from an all-terrain vehicle accident. In case 3, an 80-year-old female on anticoagulants sustained an avulsion injury to her left lower leg. In case 4, a 41-year-old female sustained a severe complex avulsion injury to the dorsal left forearm sustained from a dog bite. All patients were successfully treated with SISWM and the bolster technique, and their wounds healed completely within 6 weeks. The bolster technique, when combined with an SISWM, is a novel method designed to enable the SISWM to impart its wound healing properties to these complex traumatic wounds. This case series presents treating clinicians with a different treatment methodology to assist the patient in achieving a successful outcome.
