DUAL EFFECTS OF ASPIRIN IN GUINEA‐PIG LUNGS (1976)

Dual effects of aspirin were demonstrated in guinea-pig lungs: (a) aspirin (3.3 mg/kg i.v.) antagonized bronchoconstriction induced by slow reacting substance of anaphylaxis (SRS-A); (b) aspirin produced bronchoconstriction when injected in the presence of propranolol into guinea-pigs in vivo at 330 mg/kg, or into guinea-pig isolated lungs in vitro as a 4% solution (40 mg/ml). 2 The severity of bronchoconstriction following administration of aspirin was directly related to the degree of beta-adrenoceptor blockade and to the age of the guinea-pigs. Aspirin-induced bronchoconstriction was prevented in vivo and in vitro by atropine and it could be reversed in vivo by atropine. Aspirin-induced bronchoconstriction was not inhibited by vagotomy or phenoxybenzamine. 3 These data suggest that the mechanism involved in aspirin-induced bronchoconstriction may be local cholinergic stimulation and that reduced beta-adrenergic drive may be a predisposing factor.
Magnetic and photocatalytic properties of n- and p-type ZnFe<sub>2</sub>O<sub>4</sub> particles synthesized using ultrasonic spray pyrolysis (2012)

In the equilibrium state, although ZnFe2O4 is paramagnetic, it is known that its magnetic property can be modified under nonequilibrium perturbations such as rapid cooling. Ultrasonic spray pyrolysis is a kinetic process involving rapid cooling. In this work, ferrimagnetic ZnFe2O4 particles were synthesized successfully. Furthermore, by changing the carrier gas, p-type and n-type ZnFe2O4 particles were synthesized. The p-type ZnFe2O4 showed low photocatalytic activity, but n-type ZnFe2O4 showed considerably strong activity against UV light. Recently, synthesis of magnetically separable photocatalyst has been developed with hybrid or composite of ferrite and TiO2. The fact that our ZnFe2O4 particles show both ferrimagnetic and photocatalytic properties indicates that this material will present new vistas as a magnetically separable photocatalyst.
Bovine Viral Diarrhea Viruses (BVDV) in the Feedlot (2005)

Bovine viral diarrhea viruses (BVDV) represent significant pathogens for cattle. The BVDV affect several organ systems; however, the respiratory tract and fetal infections receive critical attention based on disease impact and potential for reservoirs/transmission. BVDV may cause primary infection of the respiratory tract and also serve to predispose the infected bovine to bacterial pathogens such as Mannheimia haemolytica, Pasteurella multocida, Histophilus somni, Archanobacterium pyogenes and Mycoplasma spp. Calves infected in utero and born persistently infected (PI) are important reservoirs of infection as they are life-long shedders of virus to susceptible cattle. Respiratory diseases in the feedlot are significant based on morbidity mortality and economic losses. Detection and removal of PI cattle could potentially lessen the economic effect of BVDV in the feedlot. Also, current BVDV control programs utilize vaccines in the US, primarily those containing BVDV1a and BVDV2a strains. Research at our institution has shown that the BVDV1b subgenotype is the major BVDV strain in our diagnostic laboratory accessions. The purpose of this study was three-fold: (1) determine prevalence of PI cattle entering a feedlot; (2) to utilize and compare various diagnostic tests to identify PI cattle; and (3) to determine the distribution of the BVDV1a, BVDV1b and BVDV2a subgenotypes in PI cattle entering the feedlot.
Compositional Dependence of Mechanical Properties in Aluminosilicate, Borate and Phosphate Glasses. (2002)

Young's modulus, E, Vickers hardness, Hv, crack initiation load, Lc, and fracture toughness, Kc, of 30RO-10Al2O3-60SiO2, B2O3, P2O5 (mol%) (RO: MgO, CaO, SrO, BaO) system glasses were measured and the compositional dependence of deformation and fracture behaviors was systematically evaluated. Vickers hardness Hv and E had similar dependence on composition. The relationship between E and Hv was found to be expressed by Hv=0.07E. Fracture toughness Kc and Lc were in the order of Mg>Ca>Sr>Ba, depending upon the size of modifier ions, for all glasses with three different network formers. The result of the present study suggests that Lc very sensitively reflects the relationship between composition and fracture behavior of glasses.
Cadmium Sorption to Soil Separates Containing Layer Silicates and Iron and Aluminum Oxides (1992)

Abstract Ion exchange to fixed charge sites and surface complexation to hydroxylated sites are recognized to affect Cd aqueous concentrations in soil; however, the individual contribution of these reactions to Cd sorption in mineralogically complex material has not been documented. The objective of this study was to isolate the contributions of fixed charge and hydroxylated sites to Cd sorption in two Ultisol subsurface horizons that contained kaolinite, 2:1 layer silicates, and crystalline Fe and Al oxides. Cadmium sorption was measured on clay‐sized isolates (&lt;2.0 µm) from the soil materials in NaClO 4 electrolyte at ionic strength ( I ) = 0.1, 0.01, and 0.001 mol L −1 with pH ranging from 4 to 9 and Cd concentrations ranging from 2 × 10 −8 to 3 × 10 −5 mol L −1 . Comparative experiments were also performed with smectite (SWy‐1), kaolinite (KGa‐1), and crystalline and amorphous Fe oxides to evaluate the potential contribution of ion exchange and surface complexation reactions on these phases to Cd sorption in the isolates. Ion exchange of Cd 2+ on layer silicates dominated Cd sorption within the isolates when I was ≤0.01 mol L −1 and the pH was less than ≈6.5. Sorption of Cd on hydroxylated sites on the edges of the layer silicates or on Fe or Al oxides, and/or exchange of CdOH + on the fixed‐charge sites of the layer silicates, dominated Cd sorption at I = 0.1 mol L −1 , and when the pH was greater than ≈6.5 at any I . Below pH 6.5, the magnitude of the sorption was controlled by the cation‐exchange capacity of the isolates, which, in turn, was related to their relative proportions of kaolinite and 2:1 layer silicates. By comparing the Cd sorption on the isolates to that on (i) dithionite‐citrate‐bicarbonate (DCB) treated islates and (ii) DCB‐treated isolates augmented with Fe oxides, it was concluded that crystalline Fe oxides were not significant sorbents of Cd. Instead, the Fe oxides appeared to be associated with the layer silicates by a particle interaction that blocked access of Cd to fixed‐charge sites on the layer silicates.
Twilight Zeitgebers, Weather, and Activity of Nocturnal Primates (1976)

Bush babies (Galago senegalensis), slow lorises (Nycticebus coucang), and an owl monkey (Aotus trivirgatus) in outdoor enclosures usually began activity in certain illuminance ranges of dusk and accommodated to seasonal changes in sunset time. Influences of cloud cover were variable, but marked heat and cold were inhibitory. Accurate endogenous timekeeping and a reliance on the most stable zeitgeber apparently maintain activities in synchrony with the rhythmically changing environment.
Fabry–Perot etalon aperture requirements for direct detection Doppler wind lidar from Earth orbit (1999)

The design of Fabry-Perot etalons for direct detection Doppler wind lidar from a satellite is considered for two direct detection methods, fringe imaging (multichannel) and double edge. The area solid-angle product of the etalon for each technique is derived and shown to be inherently larger, for a given etalon aperture, for the fringe imager than for the double-edge Doppler analyzer. Modeling of the Doppler measurement accuracy of a spaceflight direct detection wind lidar shows that a very large optical aperture, 2 m or more, is necessary. Optical throughput matching to a 2-m collector requires, for the fringe-imaging Doppler analyzer, an etalon with 60 mm aperture, whereas the double-edge technique would require two etalons of 200 mm aperture, or a split-aperture etalon of 400 mm working aperture. Because the two direct detection methods have been shown to have practically identical intrinsic sensitivities (measurement accuracies per unit signal), this difference in etalon dimensions may be a significant selection consideration.
Adaptive finger angle estimation from sEMG data with multiple linear and nonlinear model data fusion (2011)

This paper presents a novel approach to control the motion of a smart prosthesis using surface electromyographic (sEMG) signals. Currently, all sEMG based prosthetic hands are controlled based on pre-programmed motion sets, which are initiated when some threshold value of the measured sEMG signal is reached. In this paper, we present an approach that utilizes System Identification (SI) in order to obtain a dynamic finger angle model. Such a model allows for instantaneous control for the finger motions. The algorithm presented relays on an array of nine sEMG sensors. The sEMG and angle data is filtered using a nonlinear Teager-Kaiser Energy (TKE) operator based nonlinear spatial filter and a Chebyshev type-II filter respectively. The filtered signals are smoothed using a smoothing spline curve fitting. The smoothed sEMG data is used as input and the respective smoothed finger angle data is used as output for a system identification routine to obtain multiple linear and nonlinear models. To achieve better estimates of the finger angles, an adaptive probabilistic Kullback Information Criterion (KIC) for model selection based data fusion algorithm is applied to the linear and nonlinear model's outputs. Final fusion based output of this approach results in improved estimates of finger angles.
A wireless-based virtual salesman system (2004)

This paper presents a wireless-based virtual salesman system to interact with mobile users by providing an electronic virtual salesman to support wireless shopping. The paper not only reports the system architecture and design, but also introduces a virtual salesman concept and presents an intelligent solution which supports the interactions between virtual salesman and mobile users. A context-based interaction model is proposed as the base of the intelligent solution, and the related reasoning rules are given to model marketing and sales business logistics. The major difference between this system and the existing online-based e-commerce systems is that our system uses an electronic virtual salesman to actively interact with end customers to drive and conduct product promotions, selection, and trading operations. The paper presents an application example to demonstrate how to automatically interact with mobile device users using a wireless-based virtual salesman.
Comprehensive analysis of electrically-pumped GaSb-based VCSELs (2011)

This paper discusses several performance-related aspects of electrically-pumped GaSb-based buried tunnel junction VCSELs with an emission wavelength of 2.6 μm based on theoretical and experimental results. These results allow a deeper insight into the internal device physics, such as radial diffusion of carriers, maximum continuous-wave operating temperature, diffraction loss, internal temperature, gain and loss parameters, internal quantum efficiency of the active region etc. These parameters can be taken into account while designing mid-infrared lasers which leads to an improved device performance. A simple thermal model of the devices based on the two-dimensional (2-D) finite element method using the material data from the literature is also presented. In addition, an application-based result utilizing these lasers for the measurement of absolute water vapor concentration by wavelength modulation spectroscopy (WMS) method are also described, hinting that devices are well-suited for the targeted sensing applications.
Management of dermatologic complications of chronic graft versus host disease: a case study. (1997)

The purpose of this article is to illustrate a multidisciplinary team collaborative approach to the management of dermatologic complications related to chronic graft versus host disease (GVHD). GVHD is a complication of allogeneic bone marrow transplantation (BMT) and peripheral blood cell transplantation (BCT). The skin is affected in more than 80% of patients with chronic GVHD who received a BMT. Involvement can be limited or extensive and can seriously affect patient morbidity and mortality. Nursing care of the patient with chronic GVHD induces careful patient assessment, patient and family education, and interventions aimed at preventing or minimizing complications. A coordinated multidisciplinary team approach is essential for the successful management of chronic GVHD. Nurses play a critical role in coordinating the multiple disciplines involved in the care of patients with chronic GVHD.
Studies on Vitamin B<sub>1</sub> and Related Compounds. XXXVIII (1952)

Allithiamine, a compound formed by the reaction of vitamin B1 and the component of garlic (Allium sativum L. var. japonicum Kitamura), was isolated in crystals of m.p. 132-133° (decomp.) as recrystallized from benzene, or of m.p. 141-142° (decomp.) as recrystallized from water. Molecular weight determination by the Barger method and analytical values suggest the empirical formula of C15H22O2N4S2. It was assumed from absorption spectra and other properties that it possessed a structure similar to “Aneurindisulfid.”
STRUCTURAL DETERMINATIONS USING SCALED MOMENTS OF INERTIA (1988)

Recently published work has shown the usefulness of scaled ground-state moments of inertia for structural $determinations.^{1,2}$ Based on a simplification of Watson's mass-depondence $method^{3}$, the procedure has been shown to yield structural parameters for small heavy-atom molecules that are more reliable than $r_{s}$ parameters and are very near to $r_{e}$ parameters. Procedures for extending the method to molecules containing hydrogen atoms will be described and evaluated for various small polyatomic molecules. Model force-field computations will be presented also to aid in understanding the range of validity of the method and to provide a theoretical framework for the empirical procedures.

Self-Assembly of Luminescent Molecular Squares Featuring Octahedral Rhenium Corners (1996)

A new family of molecular squares containing ReI polypyridyl and polypyrazyl centers has been synthesized at quantitative yields via a self-assembly method. Ambient-temperature photophysical studies reveal that two of the squares (4,4‘-bipyridine- and pyrazine-bridged species) readily luminesce in solution from relatively long-lived charge-transfer excited states. These squares expand the growing field of inorganic cyclophane self-assembly chemistry to the octahedral metal systems.
Strömungsvorgänge in Reinräumen und Rämen mit Reinfeldern (1969)

Abstract Die turbulenzarme Verdrängungsströmung, die man zur Belüftung von Reinräumen anwendet, wird durch die Reibungsgrenzschicht an den Wänden und den thermischen Auftrieb gestört. Aus den Strömungsgesetzen werden die günstigsten Bedingungen abgeleitet. Es ergibt sich, daß sich Reinfelder ohne zusätzliche Begrenzungswände oder Luftschleier bei Belüftung von oben nach unten oder unten nach oben abgrenzen lassen.
Asking for Help Using Inverse Semantics (2014)

Robots inevitably fail, often without the ability to recover autonomously. We demonstrate an approach for enabling a robot to recover from failures by communicating its need for specific help to a human partner using natural language. Our approach automatically detects failures, then generates targeted spoken-language requests for help such as "Please give me the white table leg that is on the black table." Once the human partner has repaired the failure condition, the system resumes full autonomy. We present a novel inverse semantics algorithm for generating effective help requests. In contrast to forward semantic models that interpret natural language in terms of robot actions and perception, our inverse semantics algorithm generates requests by emulating the human's ability to interpret a request using the Generalized Grounding Graph (G 3 ) framework. To assess the effectiveness of our approach, we present a corpusbased online evaluation, as well as an end-to-end user study, demonstrating that our approach increases the effectiveness of human interventions compared to static requests for help.
Self-Calibrating Mass Flow Sensor (2012)

This paper discusses the development of a method for on-the-fly, self-calibration of a mass-flow sensing system on a harvest combine in order to enable accurate mass-flow sensing and, consequently, yield mapping, under varying input conditions, for example due to changes in the moisture content of harvested grains or the aging of elevator paddles. The proposed method relies on a known or estimated physics-based relationship between the grain dynamics through the grain elevator and a measured force imparted on an impact plate through collisions with the grains. The paper provides a summary description of the modeled relationship between the rate of mass flow and impact-plate sensor readout and conceptualizes the self-calibration scheme through the introduction of an additional, controllable, degree of freedom of the plate. The validity of the self-calibration technique is illustrated through off-line application to bench-top and full-scale experimental test data.

Bone marrow transplantation for thalassemia in Hong Kong: the early experience. (1993)

High-dose cyclophosphamide (HD-CY; 7 g/m2) was administered to patients suffering from high risk multiple myeloma (MM). The safety of this procedure, the recirculation and collection of peripheral blood stem cells (PBSC) and the effect of rhGM-CSF and HD-CY were studied. Group I patients (n = 21) were treated with HD-CY alone. Group II patients (n = 10) received 5 micrograms/kg/day rhGM-CSF iv after HD-CY. Neutropenia was shorter in group II (p = 0.01). In group II, the number of circulating colony forming units (CFU-GM) after 14 days was correlated with the number of circulating CFU-GM after 7 days (r = 0.85, p < 0.0001) and with the number of CD34+ cells (r = 0.839, p = 0.01). The total number of mononuclear cells (MNC) and CFU-GM collected per patient was two and seven-fold higher, respectively, in group II (p = 0.01 and p = 0.03). Recovered MNC and CFU-GM were 1.7 and 7-fold higher, respectively, in group II (p = 0.01 and p = 0.004). Our data show that HD-CY is an efficient means of collecting functional PBSC in MM. We suggest that rhGM-CSF is able to further enhance this yield in MM.
16-Mb synchronous DRAM with 125-Mbyte/s data rate (1994)

In order to keep up with the growing need for memory bandwidth at low cost, a new synchronous DRAM (SDRAM) architecture is proposed. The SDRAM has programmable latency, burst length, and burst type for wide variety of applications. The experimental 16M SDRAM (2M/spl times/8) achieves a 125-Mbyte/s data rate using 0.5-/spl mu/m twin well CMOS technology.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">&gt;</ETX>
Impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on clinical research in hospitals: observational study in the first epicenter of the epidemic during the general lockdown in France. (2021)

Although the COVID-19 outbreak has created an incredible momentum in the field of clinical research, research not focused on SaRS-CoV-2 has suffered greatly from this situation. The impact on patients is difficult to estimate but should be further investigated.
SYNTHESIS, BIOLOGICAL EVALUATION AND ELECTROCHEMICAL STUDIES OF CU (II) AND NI (II) COMPLEXES OF N’, N”-1, 2-DIPHENYLETHANE-1, 2-DIYLIDENEDIBENZOHYDRAZIDE (2010)

New tetra-dentate Schiff base N’, N”-1, 2-diphenylethane-1, 2-diylidenedibenzohydrazide (1) was synthesized by the condensation of benzil with isonizide. Further ligand (1) was converted into Cu (II) complex with N’, N”-1, 2-diphenylethane-1, 2-diylidenedibenzohydrazide (2) by treatment of (1) with CuCl2.2H2O and in another route Ni (II) complex with N’, N”-1, 2-diphenylethane-1, 2-diylidenedibenzohydrazide (3) was synthesized with reaction of (1) with NiSO4.7H2O. Polarographic studies of Cu (II) and Ni (II) complexes with ligand have been done in alcoholic medium and the stability constant log β values were found for Cu (II) and Ni (II) complexes Ligand and complexes were characterized by IR and 1HNMR, and complexes tested for biological activity.
Effects of doping of lead titanate with alkaline-earth elements (2016)

Solid solutions of the ( $$P{b_{1 - {\alpha _1} - {\alpha _2}}}S{r_{{\alpha _1}}}B{a_{{\alpha _2}}}$$ ) (0.02 ⩽ α1 ⩽ 0.36, 0.0073 ⩽ α2 ⩽ 0.1339) system with the ratio of Sr and Ba chosen so as to exclude the influence of the size factor on the lead titanate structure have been studied. The studies have been performed using X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), X-ray absorption spectroscopy (EXAFS), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). It has been found that the removal of 2.5 at % Pb2+, which presumably occupy oxygen octahedra, from the solid solution leads to a partial relieving of the crystal lattice stress that is observed as the decrease in the parameter c, c/a, and the unit cell volume, with parameter a being unchanged. It has been shown that PbTiO3 contains up to 5 at % of Pb4+ ions at all the preparation conditions. The Sr and Ba atoms replace the Pb atoms in lead titanate in a narrow concentration range 0 < (α1 + α2) ⩽ 0.0273; at higher Sr and Ba concentrations, solid solutions SrPb x Ti1–x O3 → Sr1–y Ba y Pb x Ti1–x O3 are formed.
Interrater Agreement for Consensus Definitions of Delayed Ischemic Events After Aneurysmal Subarachnoid Hemorrhage (2016)

Consensus definitions for delayed cerebral ischemia yielded near-perfect overall agreement and can thus be applied in future large-scale studies. However, a strict process of adjudication, explicit thresholds for determining focal neurologic decline, and MRI techniques that better discriminate edema from infarction seem critical for reproducibility of determination of specific outcome phenotypes, and will be important for successful clinical trials.
A simple yet efficient algorithm for multiple kernel learning under elastic-net constraints (2015)

This papers introduces an algorithm for the solution of multiple kernel learning (MKL) problems with elastic-net constraints on the kernel weights. The algorithm compares very favourably in terms of time and space complexity to existing approaches and can be implemented with simple code that does not rely on external libraries (except a conventional SVM solver).
