Distribution of myosin isozymes within single cardiac cells. An immunohistochemical study. (1983)

Isozymes of myosin have been localized with respect to individual cardiac myocytes in hearts from 3-week-old, adult controls, and adult hypophysectomized rats, and in cultured cardiac cells. For this purpose, affinity-purified antibodies reacting specifically with the heavy chains of each of the two major myosin isozymes of adult rat heart, V1 and V3, were used. The distribution of the two isomyosins was determined by double immuno-labeling of the same cell, V1 myosins being revealed by rhodamine and V3 myosins by fluorescein. A procedure is described which allows optimum immunological visualization of the myosin filaments of rod-shaped isolated myocytes. It was found that the response of the cardiac cells to the two antimyosins varied depending on the state of the animal. In 3-week-old rats, all cells were stained with the anti-V1, and almost none with the anti-V3 myosin. In the hypophysectomized animals, on the contrary, all cells were stained with the anti-V3 and none with the anti-V1. A mixed pattern of reactivity was observed in adult controls since 50% of the cells reacted with the anti-V1, 10% with the anti-V3, and 40% with both antibodies. In the latter case, the distributions of V1 and V3 reactivities were homogeneous throughout the cell, and absolutely superimposable. The same double reactivity and homogeneous repartition were observed in cultured cells. These findings indicate that myocytes from adult rat myocardium are heterogeneous in terms of their isomyosins content and show for the first time that two isomyosins can coexist and be equally distributed in one cardiac cell. These observations are relevant to the regulation of individual heart cell contractility.
Properties and processing of magnesium-tin-calcium alloys (2011)

The development of new creep resistant magnesium alloys has become a major issue in recent years and therefore further alloy development is necessary. Newly developed alloys are based on the binary system Mg-Sn. Sn as major alloying element was chosen due to its high solid solubility over a wide temperature range and due to the possible formation of Mg2Sn intermetallic precipitates with a high melting temperature of about 770 C. These characteristics suggest that a fairly large volume fraction of thermally stable Mg2Sn particles can be formed during solidification. This makes it possible that the Mg-Sn alloys can be developed as creep resistant magnesium alloys and/or wrought magnesium alloys. Previous investigations indicate that the Mg-Sn alloys have a comparable or even better creep properties than AE42 alloy. This paper presents an overview about recent works on the developments of Mg-Sn alloys performed in MagIC, Helmholtz-Zentrum Geesthacht, which includes: microstructural characterization, creep deformation and hot deformation, and corrosion behaviour. Very positive results have been obtained and show Mg-Sn-Ca alloy systems can be developed for power train and hand tool applications.
Microring-based modulation and demodulation of DPSK signal (2007)

Ultra-small modulator and demodulator for 10 Gb/s differential phase-shift-keying (DPSK), using silicon-based microrings, are proposed. A single-waveguide microring modulator with over-coupling between ring and waveguide generates a DPSK signal, while a double-waveguide microring filter enables balanced DPSK detection. These modulator and demodulator are characterized. A trade-off between pattern dependence of the Duobinary signal and alternate-mark inversion signal power in demodulator design is discussed. Power penalty of the proposed approach is 0.8 dB relative to baseline using conventional modulation and demodulation techniques.
Radium-based estimates of cesium isotope transport and total direct ocean discharges from the Fukushima Nuclear Power Plant accident (2012)

Abstract. Radium has four naturally occurring isotopes that have proven useful in constraining water mass source, age, and mixing rates in the coastal and open ocean. In this study, we used radium isotopes to determine the fate and flux of runoff-derived cesium from the Fukushima Nuclear Power Plant (NPP). During a June 2011 cruise, the highest Cs concentrations were found along the eastern shelf of northern Japan, from Fukushima south, to the edge of the Kuroshio current, and in an eddy ∼ 130 km from the NPP site. Locations with the highest cesium also had some of the highest radium activities, suggesting much of the direct ocean discharges of Cs remained in the coastal zone 2–3 months after the accident. We used a short-lived Ra isotope (223Ra, t1/2 = 11.4 d) to derive an average water mass age (Tr) in the coastal zone of 32 days. To ground-truth the Ra age model, we conducted a direct, station-by-station comparison of water mass ages with a numerical oceanographic model and found them to be in excellent agreement (model avg. Tr = 27 days). From these independent Tr values and the inventory of Cs within the water column at the time of our cruise, we were able to calculate an offshore 134Cs flux of 3.9–4.6 × 1013 Bq d−1. Radium-228 (t1/2 = 5.75 yr) was used to derive a vertical eddy diffusivity (Kz) of 0.7 m2 d−1 (0.1 cm2 s−1); from this Kz and 134Cs inventory, we estimated a 134Cs flux across the pycnocline of 1.8 × 104 Bq d−1 for the same time period. On average, our results show that horizontal mixing loss of Cs from the coastal zone was ∼ 109 greater than vertical exchange below the surface mixed layer. Finally, a mixing/dilution model that utilized our Ra-based and oceanographic model water mass ages produced a direct ocean discharge of 134Cs from the FNPP of 11–16 PBq at the time of the peak release in early April 2011. Our results can be used to calculate discharge of other water-soluble radionuclides that were released to the ocean directly from the Fukushima NPP.
A structured overview of simultaneous component based data integration (2009)

Of the aspects in which the simultaneous component methods differ, pre-processing and weighting are consequential. Especially, the type of weighting of the different matrices is essential for simultaneous component analysis. These types are shown to be linked to different specifications of the idea of a fair integration of the different coupled arrays.

The Emerging Role of the Liver in Iron Metabolism (2005)

Iron is essential in health and well-being and its dysregulation is a common theme in disease. Recent advances in our understanding of the molecular biology underlying hemochromatosis and anemia has provided insight into the complex mechanisms implicated in iron metabolism. The proximal small bowel is the major site of iron absorption and, it is becoming increasingly clear that the regulation of this process involves the liver and, in particular, the hepatic antimicrobial peptide hepcidin. A number of studies have shown hepcidin to have an inhibitory function at the level of small bowel iron absorption, although its exact site of action remains to be elucidated. Clearly, identifying the target of hepcidin is of importance and is likely to lead to the development of therapeutic agents in the treatment of iron disorders.
Detection of movement with laser speckle patterns (1997)

The dynamic behavior of laser speckle patterns, caused by in-plane motion of a diffusing object under illumination with coherent light, has been sued in the past in many applications to measure the displacement and the velocity of moving objects. In this paper, we present a speckle pattern based detector which measures the movement rather than the velocity of the object.Two pairs of interlaced differential comb-detectors produce two periodic signals in quadratree, which permit to measure the movement and its direction without ambiguity and at arbitrarily low speed. With two orthogonally oriented detector arrays of this type, 2D movements in the plane can be determined. The output signals of these detectors are of statistical nature. The comb- detectors act as periodic filters to the spatial frequency spectrum of the intensity of the speckle pattern. By appropriate choice of the speckle size and the comb-detector period, the output signals versus displacement are quasi- sinusoidal with statistical amplitude and phase. First and second order statistics of these signals have been investigated to determine the reliability and the accuracy of the measurement. All theoretical results have been verified by numerical simulations and by experimental measurements.
<b>PREPARATION OF NICKEL - COBALT SPINEL OXIDES Ni<sub>x</sub>CO<sub>3-x</sub>O<sub>4</sub>.COMPARISON OF TWO PHYSICAL PROPERTIES STEMMING FROM FOUR DIFFERENT PREPARATION METHODS AND USING CARBON PASTE ELECTRODE</b> (2007)

A comparative study of two electro-physical properties (porosity and electrical conductivity) of binary nickel cobalt oxides electrodes with spinels mixed oxides NixCo3-xO4 as active matter, was carried out. Four different routes were used to prepare spinel-type NixCo3-xO4 (0 &#8804; x &#8804; 2.5) compounds in order to link these properties with the preparation method. The substitution of Ni for Co increases the conductivity and the porosity of the electrode till a certain ratio of nickel. X-ray diffraction patterns showed that the oxides crystallize in a cubic spinel phase. Electrical conductivity as well as porosity depends on the preparation route. KEY WORDS: Nickel cobalt spinel oxides, Porosity, Electrical conductivity, Mixed oxides electrodes, Carbon paste electrode, Pechini sol-gel method Bull. Chem. Soc. Ethiop. 2007, 21(2), 255-262.
No-Damages-for-Delay Clause: Evaluating Contract Delay Risk (2003)

In recent years, there have been a number of construction disputes involving no-damages-for-delay clauses in construction contracts. This paper reviews the legal aspects of the no-damages-for-delay clause and presents in an easy-to-use flowchart the issues that need to be addressed to resolve disputes involving the no-damages-for-delay clause. Analysis shows that the clause presents a formidable obstacle for contractors to overcome if monetary damages are to be recovered. The contractor in most instances needs to show that the owner or the owner’s agent caused active hindrance or the owner demonstrated bad faith toward the contractor. The language of the clause is critical to determining the risk it conveys to the contractor. Examples of minimal, intermediate, and maximum risk language are given.
Liquidity or Capital? The Impacts of Easing Credit Constraints in Rural Mexico (2021)

This paper evaluates the effectiveness of easing credit constraints for rural producers in Mexico through loans provided by a national public development finance institution (DFI). In contrast to most of the existing literature, the study focuses on the effect of medium-sized loans over a two- to four-year time horizon. This paper looks at the effects of such loans on production and investment decisions, input use, and yields. Using a multiple treatment methodology, it explores the differential impacts of providing liquidity for working capital versus providing credit for investments in fixed assets. It finds that loans increased the likelihood that producers grow and sell certain key annual crops, in particular among recipients of working capital loans. It also finds significant effects on production value and sales (per hectare), with similar impacts for recipients of both types of loans, with gains in yields driven by changes in labor quality and more intensive use of key inputs. There is no evidence of significant effects on the purchase of large machinery, but there are impacts on the acquisition of cattle. Overall, the results reported in this paper suggest that lack of liquidity is at least as important as lack of funding for new investment in capital for rural producers in Mexico. Producers benefit from easing their credit constraints, regardless of the type of loan used for that purpose.
Analysis and Bioanalysis: an Effective Tool for Data Collection of Environmental Conditions and Processes (2016)

Reliable information that allows us to estimate the state of the environment and to forecast changes in the ecosystem are constantly required. Increasing environmental consciousness and dynamic development of analytical techniques are the main reasons for determining the wide range of pollutants occurring at very low concentrations in complex matrix samples. The presence and concentration of many of those pollutants in the environment are not yet subjected to legal regulations, so development of new methodologies to ensure good quality of results and their control are essential. This paper presents the target and development directions currently observed in environmental monitoring and biomonitoring. A lot of attention has been paid to a wide range of compounds that are endocrine disruptors. The overview of analytical approaches and procedures used to detect and to determine biologically active compounds can be found in this paper as well.
Type Radicals (1968)

The lower radical of a module type . For a ring R with unit, the module type t ( R ) was defined in [6] as follows: t (0) = 0; t ( R ) = d if every free R -module has invariant rank; t ( R ) = ( c, k ) for integers c, k ≧ 1 if every free R -module of rank &lt; c has invariant rank, while a free module of rank h ≧ c has rank h + nk for any integer n ≧ 0. The module types form a lattice under the ordering 0 &lt; ( c, k ) &lt; d and ( c', k' ) ≦ ( c, k ) if and only if c ' ≦ c and k' Ⅰ k . Two of the basic theorems on types are: A. [6; Theorem 2, p. 115] If R → R' is a unit-preserving homomorphism, then t ( R' )≦ t ( R ) .
Dinucleotide repeat (GT) markers on chromosome 21 (1992)

To further develop the linkage map of human chromosome 21 (HC21), we have concentrated on identifying highly polymorphic markers based on dinucleotide repeat sequences such as (GT)n, as these are often highly polymorphic, are widespread throughout the human genome, and can be rapidly analyzed by the polymerase chain reaction. We report here nine (GT)n polymorphic markers from HC21.
Design of an integrated voice and data communications link for local area networks (2003)

Provides details concerning the design of an integrated voice and data communications link which is applicable to small local area networks. Through the use of baseband signaling the information requirements of 5 kHz full duplex sampled audio and 9600 Bd of continuous bidirectional data have been satisfied. The type of baseband signaling used reduces the possibility of interference problems and time division multiplexing guarantees the elimination of any contention. The design can provide power to eight remote terminals and one central controller. This is accomplished on a four wire parallel system such as standard residence telephone wiring. The communications link was constructed as described and was tested in the laboratory with excellent results.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">&gt;</ETX>

Mydriasis without reaction to light, normal vigilance and pharyngitis: an unusual disorder (2006)

We report a 11 old girl who was admitted to our hospital with the following history: Since 2 weeks unwell, since 1 week fever (40°C) until 2 days before admission, since 3 days treatment with Amoxicilline and homeopathic belladonna, since 3 days abdominal pain, since 2 days (with vanishing fever) prurit on her legs, numbness in her face, vertigo and one collapse. At admission she was in a grave general condition. She felt weak but no paresis could be verified, deep tendon reflexes being clearly reduced in the legs. Sensory qualities were normal. She was very pale. Furthermore she showed maximal dilatation of her pupils without reaction to light, tachycardia (110/min), hepatomegaly, an abnormally full bladder, pain in the neck region and painful lymphatic glands in the mandibular angle as well as conjunctivitis. Hyponatremia was found (122 mmol/l) which normalised slowly with high dose sodium substitution. Nerve conduction velocities were normal but missing F-waves and reduced amplitudes in stimulated N. tibialis pinpointed to an axonal form of Guillain-Barré syndrome with dysautonomia. With cerebrospinal fluid the diagnosis was confirmed (protein 159mg/dl, 3 leucocytes/ul). Despite treatment with immunoglobulins constipation and urinary retention persisted for weeks. Some proximal muscular weakness progressed. The child lost 24% of her body weight during the course of the illness (normal weight before). The skin became extremely dry and squamous. After some weeks the skin was less dry but instead hirsutism had developed with normal endocrinological findings. This is regressing slowly. Neuropathic pain was persisting over more than 6 months. Muscular strength started to revcover very slowly 2 months after onset of the disease.
Influence of the Process Parameters on the Formation of CaSO4·0.5H2O Whiskers (2013)

This paper discussed the influence of the process parameters such as the temperature, the mixing ways, and the molar ratios of the reactants on the morphology of the CaSO 4 ·2H 2 O precursors and the CaSO 4 ·0.5H 2 O whiskers. The experimental results indicated that CaSO 4 ·0.5H 2 O whiskers with a length of 80–310 μ m and a width of 0.8–8.0 μ m were produced at hydrothermal condition, using CaSO 4 ·2H 2 O fine particles as the precursors which were formed by adding Na 2 SO 4 solution into CaCl 2 solution at 25°C at the molar ratio of Na 2 SO 4 to CaCl 2 being 0.5 : 1. A lower supersaturation and a higher [Ca 2+ ]/[] molar ratio favored the formation of CaSO 4 ·2H 2 O particles with small sizes and the hydrothermal synthesis of CaSO 4 ·0.5H 2 O whiskers with high aspect ratios.
Semi-automated method for the determination of the all-optical monitoring strategy of complex thin-film filters (2019)

One of the critical steps in the fabrication of complex optical interference filters is the precise control of the thickness of the layers during the fabrication process. However, the definition of the optimal optical monitoring strategy remains a challenge as it relies on user experience and there is no reliable automatic determination of this strategy. Here, we propose a semi-automated method that allows the determination of the optimal strategy. It is based on the combination of trinary mappings to select spectral regions that are compatible with optical monitoring and the use of the reflected phase error at a single wavelength versus optical monitoring wavelength. We show how this procedure can be used for the determination of either a single optical monitoring wavelength or a multi-wavelength procedure of a complex filter and confirm these theoretical results with an experimental demonstration.

We now report the completion , of our "MemBuilder" software which accornmodates this need within the I-DEAS Master Series CAD environment. MemBuilder automates the process of 3D solid model construction of MEMS structures starting from user defined process data and 2D mask data. Meryffluilder successfully emulates MEMS structure construction in both surface-micromachined and wafer-bonded processes.
Estimation of Arterial Measures of Effectiveness with Connected Vehicle Data (2012)

The Connected Vehicle technology is a promising mobile data source for improving real-time traffic conditions monitoring and control. This paper presents estimation methods for a variety of measures of effectiveness both at the arterial and intersection level (e.g., average speed, acceleration noise, queue length). These performance measures are essential for determining traffic conditions and improving signal control strategies in real-time. The estimation methods are tested with two datasets comprising of various traffic conditions: undersaturated and oversaturated and the minimum penetration rate requirements for accurate MOE estimates are determined. These reveal that for oversaturated conditions the required penetration rates are smaller than those for undersaturated. Finally, an application of the queue length estimation as a trigger for alternative real-time control strategies is presented. The developed method determines the last observed vehicle distance threshold that activates the alternative signal plan as a function of the Connected Vehicle penetration rate.
INSTRUMENTATION FOR LONG TERM FIELD STRUCTURE AND MODEL STRUCTURE INVESTIGATIONS (1974)

The general nature of the deterioration of prestressed concrete bridges through contraction in Nebraska is discussed and clearly illustrated through the use of photographs taken from a previous field study involving approximately 100 bridges. The test program to determine the actual nature and cause of the deterioration process involves continued study of the 100 existing bridges, two new instrumented field structures in a natural environment, and a new full-scale model structure in a partially controlled environment. The new structures were heavily instrumented with mechanical and electrical types of strain measurement devices, thermometer and humidity wells, and other deformation references. Essentially all of the devices were pre-embedded using tape-in-place techniques to avoid damage to the steel forms for the girders. This technique also gave quick access to ready-to-read installation points after girder forms were stripped. Detailed steps for the manufacture and installation of such devices are outlined. /FHWA/
