Nursing Consultation to Reduce Restraints in a Nursing Home (1995)

Consultation is an important function of advanced practice nurses. Within nursing practice, the process of providing consultation has been studied primarily in acute care settings. A CNS in a 180-bed, nonprofit nursing home implemented the intervention for a controlled clinical trial of nursing interventions to reduce physical restraint use. The consulting process undertaken by the CNS is described, and conclusions are offered regarding the most effective approaches to consultation by advanced practice nurses in nursing homes.
Schroedinger cats and quantum complementarity (2022)

Complementarity tells us we cannot know precisely the values of all the properties of a quantum object at the same time: the precise determination of one property implies that the value of some other (complementary) property is undefined. E.g.the precise knowledge of the position of a particle implies that its momentum is undefined. Here we show that a Schroedinger cat has a well defined value of a property that is complementary to its ``being dead or alive'' property. Then, thanks to complementarity, it has an undefined value of the property ``being dead or alive''. In other words, the cat paradox is explained through quantum complementarity: of its many complementary properties, any quantum system, such as a cat, can have a well defined value only of one at a time. Schroedinger's cat has a definite value of a property which is complementary to ``being dead or alive'', so it is neither dead nor alive. Figuratively one can say it is both dead and alive. While this interpretation only uses textbook concepts (the Copenhagen interpretation), apparently it has never explicitly appeared in the literature. We detail how to build an Arduino based simulation of Schroedinger's experiment based on these concepts for science outreach events.
Measurement of layer spacing across stacking faults in cadmium (1966)

Abstract Analysis of electron micrographs of stacking faults in cadmium shows that the spacing of the layers at the faults has the same anomalous c/a ratio as in the perfect crystal.
Synthesis and Characterization of Rare Earth/Polyurethane Composite Material (2013)

The organic ligand sulfosalicylic acid (SSA) which was selected as molecular bridge for sensitization of terbium ions was modified by thionyl chloride (SOCl 2 ) and 3-ammonium propyl triethoxy silane (APTES) to obtain the hybrid precursor SSA-Si. Then the solution of Tb (NO 3 ) 3 was added in the presence of tetraethylorthosilicate (TEOS). The binary lanthanide organic/inorganic hybrid material was obtained. The ternary hybrid material was obtained by adding the solution of Tb (NO 3 ) 3 and polyurethane. We investigated the thermal stability and luminescence properties of hybrids and found that the ternary hybrid materials exhibit better thermal stability and stronger emission intensity. Furthermore, compared with the binary mesoporous material Tb-(SSA-Si) 3 , the ternary mesoporous material Tb-(SSA-Si) 3 -PU exhibits the characteristic emission of the Tb 3+ ion with a higher luminescence intensity, suggesting that the introduction of polymer polyurethane into the mesoporous matrix is of benefit for the sensitization of Tb 3+ luminescence, by replacing H 2 O groups that can quench the luminescence of Tb 3+ ion.
Object oriented simulation of multimedia on demand services over ATM network (2002)

The paper presents a simulation model of a generic system to support multimedia-on-demand services over an ATM network. The simulation has been performed using an object-oriented approach. Discrete event system specification (DEVS) methodology has been used in the design and implementation of the simulation. This simulation approach also helped in the development of a modular, re-usable and easily extendable model of a multimedia-on-demand system. Also, this approach is shown to be very useful in adapting the basic model to simulate any of the multimedia-on-demand services mentioned above. To illustrate this, we have simulated a movie-on-demand service using our generic multimedia-on-demand simulation model. We have demonstrated the real-time nature, scalability and cost-effectiveness of a movie-on-demand system based upon our generic multimedia-on-demand system. This model will be useful for studying the performance of facilities such as movie-on-demand, interactive network games, multimedia libraries etc.
Cutaneous Calciphylaxis (2013)

Calciphylaxis is a rare and life-threatening disease characterized by cutaneous necrosis and vascular calcification. Often, skin biopsy specimens are not diagnostic because of the limited depth of the specimen, biopsy site, and clinical stage. To better understand the utility of various histologic features in rendering the diagnosis of calciphylaxis and to compare von Kossa versus Alizarin red stains in the detection of calcium deposits, we retrospectively analyzed the histologic features and histochemical stain findings of 56 skin biopsies from 27 consecutive patients seen at Massachusetts General Hospital from October 2002 to April 2012, with confirmed diagnosis of calciphylaxis and compared with that of 19 skin biopsies from 17 patients with other disease processes. All forms of vascular calcification and vascular thrombosis were significantly associated with cutaneous calciphylaxis. Perieccrine calcium deposition, highly specific to calciphylaxis, was the only form of calcium deposition noted in 4 (7%) skin biopsies from patients with calciphylaxis. Although the staining appears to be comparable, the deposits seen on Alizarin red appeared larger and were birefringent. Although subtle, perieccrine calcification may aid in the diagnosis of calciphylaxis in settings where typical vascular and extravascular calcification are not identified. Performing both von Kossa and Alizarin red stains might increase the detection of calcium deposit.

Fundamental Investigation on the Bearing Strength of a CF/Epoxy Pinned Joint under Various Temperatures (2004)

Effects of temperature on the pinned joint bearing strength and damages of composite laminates are investigated experimentally. The material used in this study is CF/Epoxy T800H/#3631 (Toray) with stacking sequences of quasi-isotropic [0/45/-45/90]3S and [90/-45/45/0]3S. A semi-circular notched specimen is adopted instead of the well-known double lap joint specimen recommended by JIS and ASTM standards. The present smaller specimen has the advantage in heat retention and material cost. In addition, it simplifies the damage analysis since only the bearing failure occurs. Loading tests are conducted at room (25°C), high (150°C) and low (-100°C) temperatures to obtain the load-displacement response, bearing strength and external damages. Moreover, the threedimensional evolution of microscopic damages is observed in detail and the characteristic relationship between the internal damages and environmental temperatures is discussed.
Manipulation of dipolar magnetism in low-dimensional iron oxide nanoparticle assemblies (2019)

The manipulation of magnetic states in nanoparticle supercrystals promises new pathways to design nanocrystalline magnetic materials and devices. Trench-patterned silicon substrates were used as templates to guide the self-assembly of iron oxide nanoparticles. Grazing incidence small angle X-ray scattering shows that the nanoparticles form a long-range ordered structure along the trench direction while in the direction perpendicular to the trenches, no coherent structure is observable. Electron holography provides evidence of an ordered magnetic state of nanoparticle moments in the remanent state after the application of a saturation magnetic field parallel to the trenches. However, a disordered magnetic state was observed in a perpendicular geometry. Hysteresis loops indicate that the nanoparticle moments form a superferromagnetic state for the geometry parallel to the trenches. Memory effect investigations reveal that the disordered magnetic state corresponds to a collective superspin glass state in the perpendicular geometry, while the superferromagnetic state in the parallel geometry suppresses the superspin glass state.

Efficient synchronization methods for LET-based applications on a Multi-Processor System on Chip (2017)

Distributed control applications cover a wide range of areas such as automotive, avionics, and automation. The Logical Execution Time (LET) Model of Computation (MoC) was proposed as a formal method to describe the functional and timing behavior of such applications. However, modern Multi-Processor Systems on Chip (MPSOC) do not have a shared notion of time between processors, due to their use of Globally Asynchronous Locally Synchronous (GALS) architecture. In this paper we propose two methods (based on FIFO channels and barriers) to implement time and data synchronization on a MPSOC. While a barrier synchronizes the execution flows of tasks at predefined points in their executions, a FIFO is an asynchronous data communication method between two tasks. First, they are used to implement LET applications. Next, we show how dataflow applications and mixed LET-dataflow applications are supported too. We implemented both methods on a MPSOC prototyped on a FPGA, and show that the data synchronization outperforms the related work by 67% in terms of software overhead.

Cutting for Stone in Augmented Bladders—What is the Risk of Recurrence and is it Impacted by Treatment Modality? (2013)

Bladder stones recurred in almost half of the patients at 9 years postoperatively independent of treatment technique and patient characteristics. As a high risk group, yearly x-ray of the kidneys, ureters and bladder, and ultrasound of the kidneys and bladder are recommended in these patients.
Bupropion HCL and Sleep in Patients with Depression (2007)

Objectives: Depressed patients often have insomnia, daytime sleepiness, and/or changes in sleep architecture. These sleep/wake changes are associated with diminished quality of life, impaired function, diminished treatment response and greater risk of relapse. Antidepressants may cause, exacerbate, or ameliorate these sleep/wake alterations. The sleep/wake effects of bupropion, a norepinephrine/ dopamine reuptake inhibitor (NDRI), are relatively less well established. We carried out this literature review in order to characterize the sleep/wake effects of bupropion, provide an understanding of the antidepressant mechanisms involved and discuss implications for clinical practice. Methods: Manuscripts were identified using PubMed. In addition, reports were selected from references in the original search and reports concerning bupropion extended-release were provided by the manufacturer. Results: Bupropion was not associated with daytime sedation. Sleep disturbance occurs at a low rate, comparable to other modern reuptake inhibitors. Unlike other antidepressants, bupropion does not suppress REM sleep nor increase the risk of periodic leg movement disorder. Conclusion: Bupropion has a unique sleep/wake profile, which may be particularly well-suited for treatment of individuals suffering from depression accompanied by significant fatigue/sleepiness. A lack of REM suppression, which likely reflects bupropions NDRI mechanism of action, is also distinctive and does not affect antidepressant efficacy.
Destructive (Erosive) Tufted Angioma/Kaposiform Hemangioendothelioma of the Eyelid (2020)

BACKGROUND: Tufted angioma/kaposiform hemangioendothelioma represents a spectrum of rare benign skin vascular neoplasms that differ in the extent and prognosis. Tufted angioma affects primarily children, is localized to skin, shows no tendency for ulceration or tissue invasion and has a favorable prognosis. CASE REPORT: In this case report, tufted angioma involved the lower eyelid resulting in its destruction and compromised its function, hence necessitating rapid surgical excision to preserve the function of eyelid. CONCLUSION: TA/KHE is a rare vascular benign neoplasm usually asymptomatic but may affect delicate structures, such as the eyelid resulting in destruction and hence may require rapid surgical intervention. corresponding eye.
Quantitative phase velocimetry measures bulk intracellular transport of cell mass during the cell cycle (2021)

ABSTRACT Transport of mass within cells helps maintain homeostasis and is disrupted by disease and stress. Here, we develop quantitative phase velocimetry (QPV) as a label-free approach to make the invisible flow of mass within cells visible and quantifiable. We benchmark our approach against alternative image registration methods, a theoretical error model, and synthetic data. Our method tracks not just individual labeled particles or molecules, but the entire flow of bulk material through the cell. This enables us to measure diffusivity within distinct cell compartments using a single approach, which we use here for direct comparison of nuclear and cytoplasmic diffusivity. As a label-free method, QPV can be used for long-term tracking to capture dynamics through the cell cycle.

Exciton Absorption (2016)

This glossary of terms covers phenomena considered under the very wide terms photocatalysis and radiation catalysis. A clear distinction is made between phenomena related to either photochemistry and photocatalysis or radiation chemistry and radiation catalysis. The term “radiation” is used here as embracing electromagnetic radiation of all wavelengths, but in general excluding fast-moving particles. Consistent definitions are given of terms in the areas mentioned above, as well as definitions of the most important parameters used for the quantitative description of the phenomena. Terms related to the up-scaling of photocatalytic processes for industrial applications have been included. This Glossary should be used together with the Glossary of terms used in photochemistry, 3rd edition, IUPAC Recommendations 2006: (doi:10.1351/pac200779030293) as well as with the IUPAC Compendium of Chemical Terminology, 2nd ed. (the “Gold Book” 2006–; doi:10.1351/goldbook), because many terms used in photocatalysis are defined in these documents.
Subway train stop detection using magnetometer sensing data (2014)

The schedule of subway provides information on the arrival and departure of a train at stations. The subway passengers often refer to the subway schedule to make an appointment or to make their own schedule. Many apps on subway schedule are available for smartphone users. For example, in Korea, there are more than 10 apps that users can download to get the schedule of subway. However, most of the apps provide the schedule of subway based on fixed time table. As a result, there is no way to inform the differences between the time on the time table and the actual arrival time of a subway train. In this paper, we propose a method to provide correct information on the schedule of subway. Detecting the arrival of a train is required, and the difference between the time on time table and the actual arrival time of the train should be known. The method detects the arrival of a train based on the magnetometer sensing data. Then it identifies the arrived stop and computes the time differences between the schedule and the actual. The identified time differences are reflected to the time table to inform more correct schedule to the rest of the users. When we tested the detection accuracy of a subway train using the proposed technique at Seoul subway line, it showed over 90% accurate results. This indicates that the proposed method can be widely accepted to the subway schedule app developers.
Relation between Laser Characteristics and Nd Ion Concentration in Nd: YAG Crystals (1975)

Experimental results are reported on the relation between the CW laser characteristics and the Nd ion concentration in Nd doped Y3Al5O12(Nd: YAG) single crystals. The lasers studied are pumped by W–I or Kr arc lamps and equipped with single or double elliptical cavities. The equilibrium distribution coefficient of the Nd ion is determined in our pulling grown Nd: YAG crystals to be 0.151 from the Nd ion concentration by X-ray fluorescence analyses. The slope efficiency and the inverse of the effective lamp input power at the threshold of the Nd: YAG laser ate found to be proportional to the Nd ion concentration. Under the high lamp input power, however, the saturation of the laser output is observed for crystals with Nd ions more than 1.0 atomic % because of the large positive lens effect of the pumped rod.
Optimization of Operating Conditions and Compressor Cleaning Time Intervals of Combined Cycles in a Liberalized Market (2003)

The paper addresses the optimization of the managing strategy of a combined cycle power plant in a liberalized market characterized by great time variability of the electricity sale price. Besides electric tariffs, a variety of other factors affect the selection of the plant operating mode, such as environmental conditions, O&amp;M costs, range of plant output regulation capability, performance deterioration of the components and compressor fouling rate. All calculations refer to a real combined cycle power plant owned by an Italian utility, for which are available detailed performance data, in “new and clean” conditions as well as in real operation. The optimum plant operating schedule is found with reference to three different tariff scenarios: (i) the present Italian situation, characterized by the primary role of oil and gas fired steam power stations, (ii) the Italian situation foreseen after the massive repowering program of existing steam power plants is completed, and (iii) a situation where the base-load electricity is generated by coal-fired power stations. The comparison indicates the utmost importance of the reference tariff scenario on the actual energy ad economic budget of the power station.
Thermal boundary resistance and thermal conductivity of multiwalled carbon nanotubes (2008)

Thermal boundary resistance (Kapitza resistance) and thermal conductivity of multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) are calculated assuming the properties of graphite in the temperature range of $10--100\phantom{\rule{0.3em}{0ex}}\mathrm{K}$. By including the thermal boundary resistance between the MWCNT and the measuring device, calculated thermal conductivity of MWCNT is in very good agreement with the experimental data of Kim et al. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 87, 215502 (2001)], showing that the thermal behavior of MWCNTs is similar to graphite. Thermal conductivity of MWCNT as measured by Kim et al. is smaller than the thermal conductivity of graphite fibers and pyrolytic graphite at low temperatures due to thermal boundary resistance. The intrinsic mean free path of phonons in MWCNTs in the temperature range of $10--100\phantom{\rule{0.3em}{0ex}}\mathrm{K}$ is found to be similar to the mean free path in graphite fibers. Finally, it is shown that the thermal boundary resistance could be one of the main reasons that the thermal conductivity of MWCNT bundles as measured by Kim et al. is lower than the thermal conductivity of a single MWCNT.
The Neural Correlates Underlying Lexically-Guided Perceptual Learning (2019)

There is ample evidence showing that listeners are able to quickly adapt their phoneme classes to ambiguous sounds using a process called lexically-guided perceptual learning. This paper presents the first attempt to examine the neural correlates underlying this process. Specifically, we compared the brain’s responses to ambiguous [f/s] sounds in Dutch non-native listeners of English (N=36) before and after exposure to the ambiguous sound to induce learning, using Event-Related Potentials (ERPs). We identified a group of participants who showed lexically-guided perceptual learning in their phonetic categorization behavior as observed by a significant difference in /s/ responses between pretest and posttest and a group who did not. Moreover, we observed differences in mean ERP amplitude to ambiguous phonemes at pretest and posttest, shown by a reliable reduction in amplitude of a positivity over medial central channels from 250 to 550 ms. However, we observed no significant correlation between the size of behavioral and neural pre/posttest effects. Possibly, the observed behavioral and ERP differences between pretest and posttest link to different aspects of the sound classification task. In follow-up research, these differences will be further investigated by assessing their relationship to neural responses to the ambiguous sounds in the exposure phase.
Hypoxia Induces Myocardial Regeneration in Zebrafish (2012)

These results indicate that hypoxia plays a positive role during heart regeneration, which should be taken into account in future strategies aimed at inducing heart regeneration in humans.
