Flavonol Glycosides from the Seed Coat of a New Manteca-Type Dry Bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) (1998)

Two flavonol glycosides were isolated from the methanol extracts of “Prim”, a variety of Phaseolus vulgaris L. (Manteca-type), with a yellow seed coat color. High-performance liquid chromatography was used to isolate and identify compound 1, kaempferol (3,4,5,4‘-tetrahydroxyflavone)-3-O-β-d-glucopyranoside, and compound 2, kaempferol 3-O-β-d-glucopyranoside-(2→1)-O-β-d-xylopyranoside. Concentrations of these compounds were 49.9 ± 0.78 mg/100 g and 58.5 ± 1.67 mg/100 g of fresh whole bean weight, respectively. These two flavonols were the only flavonoids found in Prim and our data indicate that they are responsible for imparting the yellow color to the seed coat. We were not able to indicate the biochemical effects of the eight genes responsible for seed coat color, but we show that G is probably not responsible for producing a flavonol 3,5-diglycoside as has been hypothesized in the literature. No proanthocyanidins (condensed tannins) were found in Prim dry bean seed coat. Keywords: Phaseolus vulgaris L.; flavonol glycosides; seed coat color genotype; proanthocyanidins

A Passive System for Server Selection within Mirrored Resource Environments Using AS Path Length Heuristics (2000)

Abstract: This work presents the results of an experiment using a heuristic algorithm that is utilized by clients to select the closest available web server from a group of mirrors. The heuristic is based on BGP AS path lengths and can be determined without the introduction of any additional measurement traffic into the network. The results indicate this is a promising strategy for passive determination of good, though not always optimal, servers. Many traditional load balancing solutions distribute load based solely on server side criteria such as current processor load, the number of outstanding queued requests, and network saturation. These schemes fail to consider the client’s relationship to the members of the server pool when making the decision of which host to use to process a request. They consider only the
Mood Profiles of Marathon Runners, Joggers and Non-Exercisers (1980)

Initial experience operating a permanent 4C seabed array for reservoir monitoring at Valhall (2004)

To improve reservoir monitoring and structural imaging, a permanent, multi‐component seismic array has been installed at the Valhall field in the North Sea. During the first half year of operation we have gained experience in recording different types of data, a baseline survey for 4D work has been acquired, and the first repeat survey is currently being shot. The results now starting to appear confirm that the system can provide high quality data. This initial period of operation also demonstrates how other activity on the field will affect the operations and thez results.
Application of Acoustic Emission for Monitoring the HVOF Thermal Spraying Process (2006)

This research aims to characterise and quantify the acoustic emission (AE) generated during the high velocity oxy-fuel (HVOF) thermal spraying process, recorded using piezoelectric AE sensors. The HVOF process is very complex involving high temperature turbulent flow through a nozzle with entrained particles, the projection of these particles, and their interaction with the target surface. Process parameters such as gun speed, oxy-fuel pressure and powder specification affect various characteristics of the coating, including thermal residual stresses; the lamellar microstructure and the topology and geometry of pores, all formed when the fused powder hits the surface, forming “splats”. It is widely acknowledged in the thermal spray industry that existing quality control techniques and testing techniques need to be improved. New techniques which help to understand the effects of coating process parameters on the characteristics of the coating are therefore of value, and it was anticipated that recording the AE produced when the fused particles contact the surface would aid this understanding. As a first stage, we demonstrated here that AE associated with particle impact can, in fact, be discerned in the face of the considerable airborne and structure-borne noise. In order to do this, a new test method using a masking sheet with slits of varying size was developed. Thermal spraying was carried out for a range of spray gun speeds and process parameters. The AE was measured using a broad band AE sensor positioned on the back of the sample as the spot was traversed across it. The results show that the amplitude and energy of the AE signals is related to the spray gun speed, powder used and the oxy-fuel pressure. Using a simple geometrical model for particle impact, the measured AE was found to vary with the energy and number of particles impacting on the sample in a predictable way.
Prevalence of hepatitis C virus sequence variants in south-east Asia (1995)

The nature and distribution of hepatitis C virus (HCV) genotypic variants present in south-east Asia have not been extensively investigated. We analysed HCV RNA obtained from 67 clinical serum samples from Singapore, Thailand, Indonesia, the Philippines and South Korea. All samples were amplified by semi-nested RT-PCR and the nucleotide sequence determined for four regions within the E1, E2/NS1, NS4 and NS5 genes. Each isolate had a unique nucleotide and deduced amino acid sequence, consistent with the genetic heterogeneity of this virus. There was remarkably little amino acid sequence variation between isolates of the same genotype, apart from variable domains within putative envelope glycoproteins that are likely to be under immune pressure. All isolates could be classified according to the currently recognized genotypes of HCV, with the exception of one Singapore isolate that defined a new group 3 subtype. The 1b genotype, which predominates in Japan, was the most widely distributed genotype and accounted for 58% of all isolates sequenced. Regional variations in HCV genotype distribution were observed, with type 3a being found almost exclusively in Thailand. By contrast, the 1a genotype, which predominates in the USA was the most prevalent genotype in the Philippines. Genotype 1a was found less commonly among the Thai isolates, presumably having been introduced from the West in stored blood products or by sporadic transmission. The significant prevalence of HCV types 2 and 3 restates the need for variant genotypes to be included in immunodiagnostic and vaccine development strategies. This study reveals that the 1b genotype of HCV, previously found to be the major variant present in east Asia, also predominantes in the south-east Asian region, and may be the major HCV type found worldwide.

Growth and characterization of AlInN/GaInN quantum wells for high-speed intersubband devices at telecommunication wavelengths (2006)

We report on the 1.5 &#956;m intersubband absorption measured on GaInN multi-quantum wells with AlInN barriers grown by RF plasma assisted molecular beam epitaxy (PAMBE). The intersubband light absorption was demonstrated as a function of the well width (1.3 nm - 3 nm) at the wavelength 1.4&#956;m - 2.5 &#956;m. The use AlInN barriers allowed to achieve strain compensated and crack free structures on GaN substrates. The preformed XRD mapping of <i>a</i> and <i>c</i> lattice constants show that AlInN/GaInN MQWs are fully strained and have up to 7% of indium in the barriers. The replacement of AlGaN by AlInN barriers opens new possibility to grow strain compensated crack free intersubband based devices like electooptical modulators and switches operating at telecommunication wavelengths.
Defining the role of recombinant activated factor VII in pediatric cardiac surgery: Where should we go from here?* (2009)

rFVIIa has an increasingly accepted role in the management of patients with congenital coagulopathies undergoing major surgery. However, randomized trials are required to define the role of rFVIIa as an adjunct to control major hemorrhage in the pediatric cardiac surgical population. Any future work must focus not only on benefits but also on patient safety, particularly, risk of morbid thromboembolic complication.
The Influence of DHA on Language Development: A Review of Randomized Controlled Trials of DHA Supplementation in Pregnancy, the Neonatal Period, and Infancy (2020)

This review summarizes randomized controlled trials (RCTs) assessing the effect of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) supplementation in the first 1000 days on child language. Six databases were searched and RCTs were included if they involved supplementation with DHA during pregnancy, to preterm infants, or during the postpartum period, included a placebo group with less or no DHA, and reported a language outcome. We included 29 RCTs involving <i>n</i> = 10,405 participants from 49 publications. There was a total of 84 language measures at ages ranging from 3 months to 12 years. Of the 84 assessments, there were 4 instances where the DHA group had improved scores, and 2 instances where the DHA group had worse scores (with the majority of these significant effects found within one RCT). The remaining comparisons were null. A few RCTs that included subgroup analyses reported (inconsistent) effects. There was limited evidence that DHA supplementation had any effect on language development, although there were some rare instances of both possible positive and adverse effects, particularly within population subgroups. It is important that any subgroup effects are verified in future trials that are adequately powered to confirm such effects.
Total test repeatability: a new figure of merit for CD metrology tools (2004)

Evaluations of CD-metrology tools usually focus on resolution, repeatability and accuracy. These are traditional metrics which relate to the capability to measure a local line width. These metrics do not cover the capability to map the CD fingerprint (uniformity map) of the wafer and scanner field, which are essential for sub-100nm lithography process control. In this study, CD-uniformity wafers of state-of-the-art step-and-scan systems were measured with different metrology tools. Analysis of the results revealed a random contribution that could not be attributed to the exposure tool or to the repeatability of the metrology tool. A test and analysis method was developed to separate out this random contribution from the test results. The level of this random CD variation, called the Total Test Repeatability (TTR), is proposed here as a new metric to compare CD-metrology tools in their capability to generate CD uniformity maps. The method was applied to study CD-SEM, Electrical Line width Measurements and CD-scatterometry. In general, the TTR appears to be much larger than the metrology tool repeatability. As such it is an important figure of merit for CD metrology tools used to reveal fingerprints of reticles, exposure tools or processing tools. The TTR is dependent on the metrology tool, measurement algorithm, but also on materials and processing flow and conditions. Some root causes have been identified, such as the wafer resistivity properties for ELM or line width roughness that appears as CD variation in CD-SEM tools. Modifications can be made in the metrology strategy to suppress the TTR and reveal more reliable CD-uniformity fingerprints.
Evidence for cytotoxic edema in the pathogenesis of cerebral venous infarction. (2001)

Restricted water diffusion suggesting cytotoxic edema is commonly found in subjects with acute CVI and decreases over time. This supports an important etiologic role for cytotoxic edema in the pathogenesis of CVI.
Novel Approach to Sarcopenia in Diabetic Patients Treated with GLP-1 Receptor Agonists (GLP-1RA) (2018)

Background: It is expected that GLP-1 Receptor Agonists (GLP-1RA) have not only glucose lowering effect but also weight loss and protection of diabetic kidney disease. On the other hand, sarcopenia and frailty is becoming important, because elderly diabetic patients increase in Japan. In the present study, we report about falling risk, dietary surveys and exercise therapy of diabetic patients treated with GLP-1RA. Methods: The questionnaire was tested in type 2 diabetic outpatients treated with GLP-1RA at our hospital (mean age 65.7 years). The control group was the diabetic outpatient treated without GLP-1RA in nearly the same age range (mean age 63.6 years). We measured hand grip strength and one-leg standing (OLS) time. Participants were defined as patients with a high risk of falling, If their hand grip strength was ≤30kg(male) or ≤20kg(female) and their OLS time was &amp;lt;20s. Especially if their OLS time was &amp;lt;5s, defined as patients with a severe high risk of falling. We also analyzed their dietary surveys in three days. Finally, we planned original exercise program to patients with a high risk of falling, and investigated the effect of this exercise every month. Result: A total of 194 cases (male, 61%; female, 39 %) were included in this study. The prevalence of patients with a high risk falling was 36.1%. In patients treated with GLP-1RA (92 cases) and without GLP-1RA (102 cases), the prevalence of patients with a high risk falling was 45.7% and 27.5%. In patient treated with GLP-1RA, the prevalence of patients with severe high risk falling was 27.5% in liraglutide group (51 cases) and was 36.6% in dulaglutide group (41 cases). Dietary surveys and the effect of exercise program are on-going. Conclusion: These findings show that type 2 diabetic patients treated with GLP-1RA are high risk group of falling compared with patients treated without GLP-1RA. Therefore, in use of GLP-1RA, we should be careful of sarcopenia and frailty involves in weight loss and muscle atrophy. Exercise and diet therapy are important. Disclosure S. Ikejima: None. S.

Wireless access system for Wide Area Ubiquitous Network (2009)

This paper introduces a wireless access system for the wide area ubiquitous network (WAUN), which is a large cell-based public sensor network, and provides feasibility study results gained through field tests. The wireless access system uses several key technologies to accommodate widely dispersed small simple terminals. First, to realize the large cell radius of several kilometers, space and site diversity technique based on digital radio over optical fiber (DROF) is developed. Second, an intelligent multiple access control scheme, a combination of demand assignment and random access, is employed to effectively accommodate tens of thousand of wireless terminals (WTs) per cell. Finally, techniques that yield low power consumption are introduced to create the long WT lifetimes needed. The system performance realized by the above-mentioned technologies is confirmed by field tests.
The extended recovery ring stage survival assay provides superior prediction of patient clearance half life and increases throughput (2019)

Abstract Background Tracking and understanding artemisinin resistance is key for preventing global setbacks in malaria eradication efforts. The ring-stage survival assay (RSA) is the current gold standard for in vitro artemisinin resistance phenotyping. However, the RSA has several drawbacks: it is relatively low throughput, has high variance due to microscopy readout, and correlates poorly with the current benchmark for in vivo resistance, patient clearance half-life post-artemisinin treatment. Here a modified RSA is presented, the extended Recovery Ring-stage Survival Assay (eRRSA), using 15 cloned patient isolates from Southeast Asia with a range of patient clearance half-lives, including parasite isolates with and without kelch13 mutations. Methods P. falciparum cultures were synchronized with single layer Percoll during the schizont stage of the erythrocytic cycle. Cultures were left to reinvade to early ring-stage and parasitemia was quantified using flow cytometry. Cultures were diluted to 2% hematocrit and 0.5% parasitemia in a 96-well plate to start the assay, allowing for increased throughput and decreased variability between biological replicates. Parasites were treated with 700nM of dihydroartemisinin or an equivalent amount of dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) for 6 h, washed three times in drug-free media, and incubated for 66 or 114 h, when samples were collected and frozen for PCR amplification. A SYBR Green-based quantitative PCR method was used to quantify the fold-change between treated and untreated samples. Results 15 cloned patient isolates from Southeast Asia with a range of patient clearance half-lives were assayed using the eRRSA. Due to the large number of pyknotic and dying parasites at 66 h post-exposure (72 h sample), parasites were grown for an additional cell cycle (114 h post-exposure, 120 h sample), which drastically improved correlation with patient clearance half-life compared to the 66 h post-exposure sample. A Spearman correlation of 0.8393 between fold change and patient clearance half-life was identified in these 15 isolates from Southeast Asia, which is the strongest correlation reported to date. Conclusions eRRSA drastically increases the efficiency and accuracy of in vitro artemisinin resistance phenotyping compared to the traditional RSA, which paves the way for extensive in vitro phenotyping of hundreds of artemisinin resistant parasites.
Chemical characterization, antioxidant properties and anti-inflammatory activity of Chinese water chestnut extracts (2020)

Ferulic acid, caffeic acid and p-coumaric acid have been identified in the Eleocharis dulcis (Burm.f.) Trin.ex Hensch.(Chinese water chestnut (CWC)) ethyl acetate extract.The ethyl acetate extract of CWC had the highest DPPH radical scavenging activity (IC 50 = 12.81 ± 0.09 µg/ml), which was higher than that of the positive control butyl hydroxy anisd (IC 50 = 14.73 ± 0.08 µg/ml).The reducing power of 0.5 mg/ml CWC was 1.21 at 0.5 mg/ml.The ethyl acetate extract significantly attenuated the production of reactive oxygen species in a dosedependent manner.The anti-inflammatory activity of CWC extracts was assessed in lipopolysaccharide-induced RAW 264.7 macrophages.The highest anti-inflammatory activity was conferred by 300 µg/ml CWC ethyl acetate extract, which also significantly reduced nitric oxide production (p < 0.05).Treatment with the CWC ethyl acetate extract downregulated the expression of TNF-α, iNOS, and COX-2 genes.For the first time the identification of phenolic acids from CWC and their correlation with anti-inflammatory activity were reported in this work.
