Identification of elements to control and regulate residential energy consumption (2014)

Residential energy consumption in the USA has been marked by a steady growth over the past decades in spite of the implementation of various energy efficiency policies. To develop effective energy efficiency policies for the residential sector, it is important to understand the causal factors and their effects on residential energy consumption. There is a dearth of literature on plausible ways to modify and manipulate factors that influence residential energy consumption. This paper builds on previous study by the authors that identified a list of factors affecting residential energy consumption and grouped them under four major categories, such as demographics, consumer attitude, economy, and climate. The study analyzed the correlates of each of the energy consumption factors and an ecological framework of residential energy consumption was created using fishbone diagram method. Subsequently, the “affinity diagram” technique was adopted to generate energy efficiency control elements from the energy consumption factors. Findings of the paper shed light on how the identified control elements govern energy consumption factors to a great extent. These control elements will assist policy-makers in ameliorating and targeting the most critical factors that will help to curb the increasing energy consumption of the residential sector in the USA.
Tendon Entrapment in Distal Radius Fractures (2009)

We retrospectively defined the rate and clinical features of tendon entrapment in 693 consecutive patients with 701 distal radius fractures treated in a single hospital. Eight extensor tendons and one flexor tendon were entrapped. All fractures with extensor tendon entrapment were palmarly displaced (Smith type) or epiphyseal. Flexor tendon entrapment was seen in dorsally angulated (Colles type) epiphyseal fracture. The rate of tendon entrapment in acute distal radius fractures was 1.3%. Extensor tendon entrapment in palmarly displaced fractures is more common.
Effect of pulsed electromagnetic fields on maturation of regenerate bone in a rabbit limb lengthening model (2005)

To study the effect of applying pulsed electromagnetic fields (PEMF) during the consolidation phase of limb lengthening, a mid-tibial osteotomy was performed in 18 adult New Zealand White rabbits and an external fixator was applied anteromedially. Animals were randomly assigned to treatment and control groups. After a 7-day latency period, the tibiae were distracted 0.5 mm every 12 h for 10 days. The treatment group received a 20-day course of PEMF for 60 min daily, coinciding with initiation of the consolidation phase. The control group received sham PEMF. Radiographs were performed weekly after distraction. Animals were euthanized 3 weeks after the end of distraction. Radiographic analysis revealed no significant difference in regenerate callus area between treatment and control tibiae immediately after distraction, at 1 week, 2 weeks, or 3 weeks after distraction ( p = 0.71, 0.22, 0.44, and 0.50, respectively). There was also no significant difference in percent callus mineralization ( p = 0.96, 0.69, 0.99, and 0.99, respectively). There was no significant difference between groups with respect to structural stiffness ( p = 0.80) or maximal torque to failure ( p = 0.62). However, there was a significant positive difference in mineral apposition rate between groups during the interval 1-2 weeks post-distraction ( p < 0.05). This difference was no longer evident by the interval 2-3 weeks post-distraction. While PEMF applied during the consolidation phase of limb lengthening did not appear to have a positive effect on bone regenerate, it increased osteoblastic activity in the cortical bone adjacent to the distraction site. Since the same PEMF signal was reported to be beneficial in the rabbit distraction osteogenesis when applied during distraction phase and consolidation phase, application of PEMF in the early phase may be more effective. Further work is necessary to determine optimal timing of the PEMF stimulation during distraction osteogenesis.

Ein sakraler Dottersacktumor bei einem Neugeborenen mit Metastasierung in die Bauchwand (2007)

Bei sacrococcygealen Teratomen findet man in 10% der Fälle auch Dottersackanteile. Metastasierungen sind in der Literatur nur durch Einzelfallberichte beschrieben. Wir berichten über ein weibliches, eutrophes Neugeborenes (Geburtsgewicht 3580g, APGAR Score 9/10/10), das mittels Sectio caesaria entbunden wurde. Nach der Geburt imponierte eine sakrale Raumforderung. Das Alpha Fetoprotein (AFP) war mit 91 006µg/l deutlich erhöht. Nach operativer Entfernung des sakralen Tumors ergab sich histologisch das Bild eines Dottersacktumors mit Expression von Zytokeratin AE1 und AE3, sowie partiell mäßiger Expression von AFP. Es lag ein hoher Vaskularisationsgrad vor. Bei den nachfolgenden Staging-Untersuchungen zeigte sich eine subkutane Metastase der Bauchwand. Diese wurde im Alter von 6 Wochen operativ entfernt. Anschließend führten wir 4 Zyklen einer kurativen Polychemotherapie mit Cisplatin und Etoposid durch. Das AFP war nach 3 Zyklen bereits im altersentsprechenden Normbereich. Der Langzeitverlauf bleibt abzuwarten.
Intensive Teenage Activity Is Associated With Greater Muscle Hyperintensity on T1W Magnetic Resonance Imaging in Adults With Dysferlinopathy (2020)

Practice of sports during childhood or adolescence correlates with an earlier onset and more rapidly progressing phenotype in dysferlinopathies. To determine if this correlation relates to greater muscle pathology that persists into adulthood, we investigated the effect of exercise on the degree of muscle fatty replacement measured using muscle MRI. We reviewed pelvic, thigh and leg T1W MRI scans from 160 patients with genetically confirmed dysferlinopathy from the Jain Foundation International clinical outcomes study in dysferlinopathy. Two independent assessors used the Lamminen-Mercuri visual scale to score degree of fat replacement in each muscle. Exercise intensity for each individual was defined as no activity, minimal, moderate, or intensive activity by using metabolic equivalents and patient reported frequency of sports undertaken between the ages of 10 and 18. We used ANCOVA and linear modeling to compare the mean Lamminen-Mercuri score for the pelvis, thigh, and leg between exercise groups, controlling for age at assessment and symptom duration. Intensive exercisers showed greater fatty replacement in the muscles of the pelvis than moderate exercisers, but no significant differences of the thigh or leg. Within the pelvis, Psoas was the muscle most strongly associated with this exercise effect. In patients with a short symptom duration of <15 years there was a trend toward greater fatty replacement in the muscles of the thigh. These findings define key muscles involved in the exercise-phenotype effect that has previously been observed only clinically in dysferlinopathy and support recommendations that pre-symptomatic patients should avoid very intensive exercise.
Experimental verification of P&O MPPT algorithm with direct control based on Fuzzy logic control using CUK converter (2015)

The choice and design of a high efficient maximum power point tracking (MPPT) algorithm is a necessity in the PV system design. Many approaches have been proposed in literature, among them, the methods that are based on perturb and observe (P&amp;O), widely used in commercial products due their simplicity and ease of implementation. In this paper, a new modified P&amp;O (MPPT) method with adaptive duty cycle step size using fuzzy logic controller is proposed. Both, simulation and experimental design are provided in several aspects. The proposed and classical methods are developed and tested successfully using a CUKDC-DC converter, which is connected to a SunTech STP085B model. The proposed method is able to improve the dynamic response and steady-state performance of the PV systems simultaneously and effectively. In addition, analysis and comparison with the conventional fixed step size P&amp;O have been presented.
A new simplified model for charge injection induced sample and hold error (2010)

This paper introduces a new simplified model describing the charge injection induced error in sample and hold circuits. The proposed model has the advantage of a simpler analytical form then the exact model present in literature, while describing the error dependence on all important factors with good accuracy. We also present analytical constant error curves for different parameter combinations.
Heat Stress Reduces Intestinal Barrier Integrity and Favors Intestinal Glucose Transport in Growing Pigs (2013)

Excessive heat exposure reduces intestinal integrity and post-absorptive energetics that can inhibit wellbeing and be fatal. Therefore, our objectives were to examine how acute heat stress (HS) alters intestinal integrity and metabolism in growing pigs. Animals were exposed to either thermal neutral (TN, 21°C; 35-50% humidity; n=8) or HS conditions (35°C; 24-43% humidity; n=8) for 24 h. Compared to TN, rectal temperatures in HS pigs increased by 1.6°C and respiration rates by 2-fold (P<0.05). As expected, HS decreased feed intake by 53% (P<0.05) and body weight (P<0.05) compared to TN pigs. Ileum heat shock protein 70 expression increased (P<0.05), while intestinal integrity was compromised in the HS pigs (ileum and colon TER decreased; P<0.05). Furthermore, HS increased serum endotoxin concentrations (P=0.05). Intestinal permeability was accompanied by an increase in protein expression of myosin light chain kinase (P<0.05) and casein kinase II-α (P=0.06). Protein expression of tight junction (TJ) proteins in the ileum revealed claudin 3 and occludin expression to be increased overall due to HS (P<0.05), while there were no differences in claudin 1 expression. Intestinal glucose transport and blood glucose were elevated due to HS (P<0.05). This was supported by increased ileum Na(+)/K(+) ATPase activity in HS pigs. SGLT-1 protein expression was unaltered; however, HS increased ileal GLUT-2 protein expression (P=0.06). Altogether, these data indicate that HS reduce intestinal integrity and increase intestinal stress and glucose transport.
Magneto-optic channel waveguides in Ce-substituted yttrium iron garnet (1993)

This article describes the demonstration of magneto-optic channel waveguides in Ce-substituted yttrium iron garnet which has a very large Faraday rotation. The rib waveguides are successfully produced by employing a new etching technique, which is a reactive ion etching method using BCl3 gas. The nonreciprocal phase shift in the magneto-optic waveguides is measured by using a new improved measurement method. These waveguides exhibit the largest nonreciprocal phase shift ever reported of 21.1 rad/cm (λ=1.55 μm).

ChemInform Abstract: ORGANOMETALLSTIBINE ALS LIGANDEN IN UEBERGANGSMETALLCARBONYLKOMPLEXEN (1971)

Abstract UV‐Bestrahlung von Tris‐(trimethylgermyl)‐ oder Tris‐(trimethylstannyl)‐stibin (I) und einem der Hexacarbonyle (II) führt bei Raumtemperatur zu den Komplexen (III), die als gelbe, luft‐ und hydrolysestabile Kristalle isoliert werden.
Repigmentierung ausgedehnter inflammatorischer Vitiligo mit erhabenem Saum durch frühzeitige und aggressive Behandlung (2015)

Die inflammatorische Vitiligo mit erhabenem Saum (inflammatory vitiligo with raised borders; IVRB) ist ein seltener Subtyp der Vitiligo, der durch einen erhabenen, erythematösen, die depigmentierten Flecken umgebenden Rand definiert ist. Die Ätiologie ist weitgehend ungeklärt; in der Literatur gibt es nur wenige Berichte über erfolgreiche Behandlungen. Wir berichten über den Fall eines 38-jährigen Patienten südasiatischer Abstammung, der sich mit kleinen und größeren diffusen, über große Teile der Körperoberfläche disseminierten depigmentierten Flecken mit blau-grauem Rand vorstellte. Die Lichtmikroskopie ergab den Befund einer inflammatorischen Vitiligo. Der Patient wurde mit 2 Zyklen oralem Prednison und einer Ganzkörper-UV-Fototherapie mit Schmalband-UV-B-Strahlung behandelt, wodurch die Ausbreitung der Krankheit aufgehalten und eine weitgehende Repigmentierung erreicht wurde. Unsere Beobachtungen deuten darauf hin, dass eine frühzeitige und aggressive Behandlung bei IVRB zu signifikanter und schneller Besserung führen kann.
Serial femtosecond crystallography datasets from G protein-coupled receptors (2016)

We describe the deposition of four datasets consisting of X-ray diffraction images acquired using serial femtosecond crystallography experiments on microcrystals of human G protein-coupled receptors, grown and delivered in lipidic cubic phase, at the Linac Coherent Light Source. The receptors are: the human serotonin receptor 2B in complex with an agonist ergotamine, the human δ-opioid receptor in complex with a bi-functional peptide ligand DIPP-NH2, the human smoothened receptor in complex with an antagonist cyclopamine, and finally the human angiotensin II type 1 receptor in complex with the selective antagonist ZD7155. All four datasets have been deposited, with minimal processing, in an HDF5-based file format, which can be used directly for crystallographic processing with CrystFEL or other software. We have provided processing scripts and supporting files for recent versions of CrystFEL, which can be used to validate the data.
Impact of gain saturation on the mode instability threshold in high-power fiber amplifiers (2014)

We present a coupled-mode model of transverse mode instability in high-power fiber amplifiers, which takes the effect of gain saturation into account. The model provides simple semi-analytical formulas for the mode instability threshold, which are valid also for highly saturated amplifiers. The model is compared to recently published detailed numerical simulations of mode instability, and we find reasonably good agreement with our simplified coupled-mode model.
Design and Analysis of a Totally Decoupled Flexure-Based XY Parallel Micromanipulator (2009)

In this paper, a concept of totally decoupling is proposed for the design of a flexure parallel micromanipulator with both input and output decoupling. Based on flexure hinges, the design procedure for an XY totally decoupled parallel stage (TDPS) is presented, which is featured with decoupled actuation and decoupled output motion as well. By employing (double) compound parallelogram flexures and a compact displacement amplifier, a class of novel XY TDPS with simple and symmetric structures are enumerated, and one example is chosen for further analysis. The kinematic and dynamic modeling of the manipulator are conducted by resorting to compliance and stiffness analysis based on the matrix method, which are validated by finite-element analysis (FEA). In view of predefined performance constraints, the dimension optimization is carried out by means of particle swarm optimization, and a prototype of the optimized stage is fabricated for performance tests. Both FEA and experimental studies well validate the decoupling property of the XY stage that is expected to be adopted into micro-/nanoscale manipulations.
Head-Mounted Display System for Microneurosurgery (1997)

Advances in video technology have enabled the incorporation of high-resolution electronic imaging of an operative field during microneurosurgical and endoscopic procedures. While current video-based monoscopic camera and monitor systems produce an excellent image, the third dimension is lacking and the operative field and image are at different locations. We describe a head-mounted display (HMD) that allows the surgical team to simultaneously visualize a surgical field and a high-resolution magnified stereoscopic image which includes a picture-in-picture capability. Stereoscopic HMDs should result in improved efficiency and safety in both endoscopic and open microsurgical procedures. Additional uses relate to surgical training and operative rehearsals.
AT&T PersonaLink (1995)

AT&T PersonaLink service is the first public network in the world to incorporate General Magic's Telescript technology. By incorporating Telescript into the AT&T platform, we are able to process smart agents sent from Personal Intelligent Communicators (PICs) that support the Magic Cap operating system also developed by General Magic. This paper presents an overview of AT&T PersonaLink Service and its use of smart agent technology.
Energy-Efficient Photon Mapping (2007)

Mobile devices such as cell phones, personal digital assistants (PDAs), and laptops continue to increase in memory and processor speed at a rapid pace. In recent years it has become common for users to check their email, browse the internet, or play music and movies while traveling. The performance gains are also making mobile graphics renderers more viable applications. However, the underlying battery technology that powers mobile devices has only tripled in capacity in the past 15 years whereas processor speeds have seen a 100-fold increase in the same period. Photon mapping, an extension of ray-tracing, is a robust global illumination algorithm used to produce photorealistic images. Photon mapping, like ray-tracing, can render high-quality specular highlights, transparent and reflective materials, and soft shadows. Complex effects such as caustics, participating media, and subsurface scattering can be rendered more efficiently using photon mapping. This work profiles the energy use of a photon-mapping based renderer to first establish what aspects require the most energy. Second, the effect several photon mapping settings have on image quality is measured. Reasonable tradeoffs between energy savings and moderately diminished image quality can then be recommended, making photon mapping more viable on mobile devices. Our results show that image quality is affected the least as settings corresponding to final gather computations are adjusted. This implies that a user can trade a modest decrease in image quality for significant gains in energy efficiency. Suggestions are made for using energy more efficiently when rendering caustics. Results also show that, although overall energy use is higher with larger image resolutions, per-pixel energy costs are cheaper.
QUALITY OF LIFE IN ADULTS PARTICIPATING IN AN ADAPTIVE HIGH INTENSITY FUNCTIONAL TRAINING INTERVENTION (2018)

Victor Andrews1, Katie M. Heinrich1, Derek A. Crawford2, Theresa Larson3, Max Conserva4 1Kansas State University, Manhattan, KS; 2Pittsburg State University, Pittsburg, KS; 3Movement Rx Integrated Health, San Diego, CA; 4Adaptive Athletic, San Francisco, CA High intensity functional training (HIFT) is an exercise modality that emphasizes functional multi-joint movements that can be adapted to any fitness level. Recently, HIFT organizations have begun implementing adaptive programs specific for those with adaptive needs (e.g., spinal cord injury, limb loss, stoke, etc.). Adaptive HIFT programs have potential to positively impact Quality of Life (QoL). PURPOSE: To assess self-reported QoL domains (physical and psychological health, social relationships, and environment) and general health for adults participating in an adaptive HIFT program. METHODS: Eight adults with adaptive needs (age = 38 ± 11 years, 75% male) enrolled in an 8-week HIFT intervention. QoL was assessed online via the World Health Organization (WHO) QoL-BREF survey, which reported a general QoL score, general health score, and QoL across four domains: physical health, psychological health, social relationships, and their environment. General QoL and health scores ranged from 1-5 with higher scores indicating greater QoL and health. Domain score questions were rated by a 5-point Likert scale, summed, and transformed into percentile scores ranging from 0-100, with higher scores indicating greater QoL. RESULTS: General QoL (4.4 ± 0.5) and health (3.4 ± 1.3) were relatively high. QoL percentile averages by domain were lowest for physical health (74 .3 ± 7.9), followed by social relationships (76.9 ± 11.2), psychological health (72.8 ± 10.4), and environment (79.5 ± 10.7). CONCLUSION: Physical health was lowest for adaptive athletes at the start of the intervention, followed by social relationships, psychological health, and their environment. As compared to healthy population norms (ages 30-39) for the WHOQOL-BREF, our participants’ physical health was lower value, while their environment was higher. Adaptive HIFT programs may be beneficial for those with adaptive needs due to their focus on functional multi-joint movements that fall within the physical health domain of QoL. Due to the small sample size additional research is required for this population.
Digital filters for high performance audio delta-sigma analog-to-digital and digital-to-analog conversions (2002)

A multi-stage decimation filter is described which consists of comb filters and a single-stage finite impulse response (FIR) filter. A multi-rate comb filter structure is used to reduce the data path width. A multi-stage interpolation filter consists of a half-band filter and a short FIR filter. The short FIR filter is designed with a nonlinear phase to realize an overall constant group delay-signal path. The coefficients of the FIR filters are optimally quantized to canonical-signed-digit form to realize multiplier-free (shift-and-add) filter implementations.
Haplotype Distribution of Nine Y-Chromosome STR-Loci in Two Northern Spanish Populations (Asturias and Aragon) (2003)

Abstract Whole blood samples were collected from healthy unrelated donors born and living in Aragon (n = 136) and Asturias (n = 120). DNA was isolated using standard phenol-cloroform extraction method. Amplification was carried out according to Nievas (1) in a PE 2400 thermocycler (PE Biosystems). Each locus was amplified individually, except DYS389I/II and DYS385 (two loci each with the same set of primers). The recommendations of the International Society for Forensic Genetics were followed for typing and interpretation (2). In addition, we successfully took part in the quality control exercise for Y-STRs organized by Dr. Lutz Roewer, Institute of Legal Medicine, Humboldt University, Berlin, Germany (3). Y-STR haplotype variability was evaluated by means of Analysis of Molecular Variance (AMOVA) (4,5).
