Effects of Thyroid Function upon Insulin Secretion (1967)

Insulin secretion provoked by glucose in the pancreas of the rat is not modified by addition of thyroxine to the incubation media. Secretion of insulin is reduced (by 34 per cent) by prior thyroidectomy and restored to normal after administration of thyroxine (15 μg./kg. body weight) in vivo to thyroidectomized rats. These changes occur despite normal insulin content of the pancreatic tissue. Treatment of normal rats by higher doses of thyroxine (2,000 μg./kg.) causes marked reduction (ca 40 per cent) of both pancreatic insulin content and secretion. These alterations suggest that thyroid hormones may exert a delicately balanced influence upon islet function in a chronic process.

Antimicrobial effect on <i>Candida albicans</i> biofilm by application of different wavelengths and dyes and the synthetic killer decapeptide (2019)

The aim of this study was to test the application <i>in vitro</i> of different laser wavelengths at a low fluence in combination or not with proper photosensitizing dyes on <i>Candida albicans</i> biofilm with or without a synthetic killer decapeptide (KP). <i>Candida albicans</i> SC5314 was grown on Sabouraud dextrose agar plates at 37°C for 24 h. Cells were suspended in RPMI 1640 buffered with MOPS and cultured directly on the flat bottom of 96-wells plates. The previously described killer decapeptide KP was used in this study. Three different combinations of wavelengths and dyes were applied, laser irradiation has been performed at a fluence of 10 J/cm<sup>2</sup>. The effect on <i>C. albicans</i> biofilm was evaluated by the XTT assay. Microscopic observations were realized by fluorescence optic microscopy with calcofluor white and propidium iodide. Compared with control, no inhibition of <i>C. albicans</i> biofilm viability was obtained with application of red, blue and green lasers alone or with any combination of red diode laser, toluidine blue and KP. The combined application of blue diode laser with curcumin and/or KP showed always a very significant inhibition, as curcumin alone and the combination of curcumin and KP did, while combination of blue diode laser and KP gave a less significant inhibition, the same obtained with KP alone. The combined application of green diode laser with erythrosine and/or KP showed always a very significant inhibition, as the combination of erythrosine and KP did, but no difference was observed with respect to the treatment with erythrosine alone. Again, combination of green diode laser and KP gave a significant inhibition, although paradoxically lower than the one obtained with KP alone. Treatment with KP alone, while reducing biofilm viability did not cause <i>C. albicans</i> death in the adopted experimental conditions. On the contrary, combined treatment with blue laser, curcumin and KP, as well as green laser, erythrosine and KP led to death most <i>C. albicans</i> cells. The combination of laser light at a fluence of 10 J/cm<sup>2</sup> and the appropriate photosensitizing agent, together with the use of KP, proved to exert differential effects on <i>C. albicans</i> biofilm.

Algorithm = logic + control (1979)

The notion that computation = controlled deduction was first proposed by Pay Hayes [19] and more recently by Bibel [2] and Vaughn-Pratt [31]. A similar thesis that database systems should be regarded as consisting of a relational component, which defines the logic of the data, and a control component, which stores and retrieves it, has been successfully argued by Codd [10]. Hewitt's argument [20] for the programming language PLANNER, though generally regarded as an argument against logic, can also be regarded as an argument for the thesis that algorithms be regarded as consisting of both logic and control components. In this paper we shall explore some of the useful consequences of that thesis.
A Coupled Numerical Technique for Self-Consistent Analysis of Micro-Electro-Mechanical-Systems (1996)

Abstract An efficient algorithm for self-consistent analysis of 3-D micro-electro-mechanical-systems (MEMS) is described. The algorithm employs a hybrid finite-element/boundary-element technique for coupled mechanical and electrical analysis. The coupled algorithm is shown to converge rapidly and is much faster than relaxation for tightly coupled problems.
Introducing a Clinical Improvement Process in a Multispecialty Group Practice Setting (1995)

In response to initial concerns about utilization of services by procedural specialists, the Sunnyvale Clinic encouraged a team of physicians and support staff to overcome differences and create a clinical guideline for sinusitis treatment. Using CQI tools, the team implemented process improvements intended to reduce variation and cost of care. The success of this pilot project, albeit slow in coming, led to further clinical guideline development and a complete restructuring of the quality management programs.
α−Calcitonin gene-related peptide inhibits autophagy and calpain systems and maintains the stability of neuromuscular junction in denervated muscles (2019)

Taken together, these data suggest that the inhibitory effect of CGRP on autophagy and calpain may represent an important mechanism for the preservation of synapse morphology when degradative machinery is exacerbated upon denervation conditions.
Automatically deriving categories for translation (1999)

An accurate fundamental frequency (F0) estimation method for non-stationary, speech-like sounds is proposed based on the differential properties of the instantaneous frequencies of two sets of filter outputs. A specific type of fixed points of mapping from the filter center frequency to the output instantaneous frequency provides frequencies of the constituent sinusoidal components of the input signal. When the filter is made from an isometric Gabor function convoluted with a cardinal B-spline basis function, the differential properties at the fixed points provide practical estimates of the carrier-to-noise ratio of the corresponding components. These estimates are used to select the fundamental component and to integrate the F0 information distributed among the other harmonic components.
Hypertension from targeted ablation of chromogranin A can be rescued by the human ortholog (2005)

The secretory prohormone chromogranin A (CHGA) is overexpressed in essential hypertension, a complex trait with genetic predisposition, while its catecholamine release-inhibitory fragment catestatin is diminished, and low catestatin predicts augmented adrenergic pressor responses. These findings from studies on humans suggest a mechanism whereby diminished catestatin might increase the risk for hypertension. We generated Chga and humanized mice through transgenic insertion of a human CHGA haplotype in order to probe CHGA and catestatin in vivo. Chga mice displayed extreme phenotypic changes, including: (a) decreased chromaffin granule size and number; (b) elevated BP; (c) loss of diurnal BP variation; (d) increased left ventricular mass and cavity dimensions; (e) decreased adrenal catecholamine, neuropeptide Y (Npy), and ATP contents; (f) increased catecholamine/ATP ratio in the chromaffin granule; and (g) increased plasma catecholamine and Npy levels. Rescue of elevated BP to normalcy was achieved by either exogenous catestatin replacement or humanization of Chga mice. Loss of the physiological "brake" catestatin in Chga mice coupled with dysregulation of transmitter storage and release may act in concert to alter autonomic control of the circulation in vivo, eventuating in hypertension.
Portable Microwave Imaging Head Scanners for Intracranial Haemorrhagic Detection (2019)

Two configurations for microwave brain imaging are presented in this paper. Both microwave imaging (MWI) head scanners feature antennas of compact size and relatively wide bandwidth of operation (from 0.5GHz to 2.0GHz). The antennas are spear-shaped printed monopoles, which are immersed in a glycerin-water mixture. A simplified head/brain model with and without a target representing blood is used to assess and compare the performance of the two MWI scanners.

Introduction to Elasticity (2000)

This module outlines the basic mechanics of elastic response — a physical phenomenon that materials often (but do not always) exhibit. An elastic material is one that deforms immediately upon loading, maintains a constant deformation as long as the load is held constant, and returns immediately to its original undeformed shape when the load is removed. This module will also introduce two essential concepts in Mechanics of Materials: stress and strain.
Welfare of pigs during killing for purposes other than slaughter (2020)

Pigs at different stages of the production cycle may have to be killed on-farm for purposes other than slaughter (where slaughter is defined as killing for human consumption) either individually (e.g. severely injured pigs) or on a large scale (e.g. unproductive animals or for disease control reasons). This opinion assessed the risks associated with the on-farm killing of pigs and included two phases: 1) handling and moving of pigs and 2) killing methods (including restraint). The killing methods were subdivided into four categories: electrical methods, mechanical methods, gas mixture methods and lethal injection. Four welfare consequences to which pigs can be exposed to during on-farm killing were identified: pain, fear, impeded movement and respiratory distress. Welfare consequences and relevant animal-based measures were described. In total, 28 hazards were associated with the welfare consequences; majority of the hazards (24) are related to Phase 2 (killing). The main hazards are associated with lack of staff skills and training, and poor-designed and constructed facilities. Staff was identified as an origin of all hazards, either due to lack of skills needed to perform appropriate killing or due to fatigue. Corrective measures were identified for 25 hazards. Outcome tables linking hazards, welfare consequences, animal-based measures, hazard origins, preventive and corrective measures were developed and mitigation measures proposed.
An Archaeological Survey for the Southeast Water Supply Corporation Water Improvement Project in Leon County, Texas (2015)

Brazos Valley Research Associates conducted an archaeological survey of three linear areas of proposed water line in eastern Leon County, Texas on April 7, 2008 under the supervision of William E. Moore. This work was sponsored by the Southeast Water Supply Corporation (WSC) of Centerville, Texas under antiquities permit 4873. Shovel tests, shovel probes, and surface inspection found no evidence of a prehistoric or historic site at either of the three areas. One area contained clay at the surface, one area cut through a clay hill, and the third area was on a natural slope. No artifacts were collected. Copies of the report are on file at the Texas Historical Commission, Archeology Division; Texas Archeological Research Laboratory, Southeast WSC, and Brazos Valley Research Associates. This project examined 0.82 total acres.
Model Adaptation Approach to Speech Synthesis with Diverse Voices and Styles (2007)

In human computer interaction and dialogue systems, it is often desirable for text-to-speech synthesis to be able to generate natural sounding speech with an arbitrary speaker's voice and with varying speaking styles and/or emotional expressions. We have developed an average-voice-based speech synthesis method using statistical average voice models and model adaptation techniques for this purpose. In this paper, we describe an overview of the speech synthesis system and show the current performance with several experimental results.
1H AND 13C NMR SPECTRAL STUDIES OF SOME CYCLOPENTADIENYL IRON PHOSPHITE COMPLEXES. COMMENTS UPON THE EXTRACTION OF J HP AND J CP COUPLING CONSTANTS (1995)

Abstract An AAn'X sub spectral analysis approach is proposed for the extraction of J HP and J CP coupling constants from the NMR spectra of cyclopentadienyliron phosphite complexes. Correlations with earlier corrected splitting values are presented.
Preliminary study of life cycle cost of preventive measures and repair options for corrosion in concrete infrastructurecorrosion in concrete infrastructure (2016)

&lt;p&gt;Maintenance costs of reinforced concrete infrastructure (bridges, tunnels, harbours, parking structures) are increasing due to aging of structures under aggressive exposure. Corrosion of reinforcement due to chloride ingress is the main problem for existing structures in marine and de-icing salt environments. Corrosion cannot be ruled out completely for new infrastructure, even with today's emphasis on design for long service life (e.g. 100 years), a.o. due to local effects such as leakage of joints; consequently, repairs may be necessary. This study reports on total life cost calculations for various options to prevent or remediate corrosion damage in an example bridge which is exposed to de-icing salts, locally aggravated by leakage of expansion joints. Scenarios were developed to predict - the occurrence of corrosion damage in the joint areas, - total life cycle cost (LCC) effects of using stainless steel reinforcement, (repeated) hydrophobic treatment and cathodic prevention in the joint areas, - cost effects of conventional concrete repair and cathodic protection in the joint areas, depending on the working life of these corrective measures. Summarising the preliminary results, using stainless steel reinforcement and (repeated) hydrophobic treatment of concrete in the endangered areas is surprisingly economic. Furthermore, the working life of conventional repairs and cathodic protection are major parameters affecting the total life costs. A simple tool was developed for predicting the total life costs depending on working life and costs of various preventive and corrective measures.&lt;/p&gt;

Comparative Analysis of Processors Performance Using ANN (2015)

In the present era of plurality and diversity in electronic world taking decision for choosing the best one from a pool of products is a prudent approach. Machine learning helps us a lot in deciding the optimal choice. Artificial Neural Network are a family of statistical learning algorithms inspired by biological neural networks and can be incorporated to take a decision at par with a smart human perception. The purpose of this paper is to compare performance of CPU processors using some characteristics that are used as input, and subsequently comparing that result with existing performance that is published.
Altered retinoic acid receptors (1996)

Structurally and functionally altered retinoic acid receptors have been associated with rare human neoplasms: acute promyelocytic leukemia and hepatocellular carcinoma. Whereas the retinoic acid receptor beta (RARbeta) rearrangement in hepatocellular carcinoma is unique, in acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL), RARalpha fusion to the promyelocytic leukemia (PML) gene by the t(15;17) translocation is a general feature of the disease. APL is an important model in cancer biology because retinoic acid induces complete remissions in this malignancy, providing the first example of differentiation therapy and of an antineoplastic drug directly targeted at the underlying genetic lesion. The molecular basis of PML/RARalpha fusion leukemogenesis is discussed with respect to dominant negative inhibition of nuclear receptor and PML functions.
Comprehensive cardiac magnetic resonance approach to assess myocardial involvements in asymptomatic patients with rheumatic diseases: comparison of MRI findings between rheumatic arthritis and systemic sclerosis (2010)

Results 1) RA: Stress PDs were seen in two out of 18 RA patients (11%), one of whom had circumferential subendocardial PD and one had a non-segmental subendocardial PD. Seven patients were found to have DE (39%). DE was observed in six without PD and one patient with PD demonstrated DE. Five had a DE in the middle or subepicardial layer. The remaining two had a subendcardial DE in segment.2) SSc: Stress PDs were seen in five out of nine SSc patients (56%), four of whom had non-segmental subendocardial perfusion defects and one had a segmental subendocardial perfusion defect. Three patients were found to have DE (33%). DE was not observed in any patient without perfusion defect and among the five patients with perfusion defects, three (60%) demonstrated delayed enhancement. Two of the three had nonsegmental DE in the middle l layer and one had segmental subendocardial DE.
COVID-19-associated Large Vessel Stroke in a 28-year-old Patient (2021)

Während der COVID-19-Pandemie zeigte sich eine Zunahme an psychischen Belastungen bei Kindern und Jugendlichen. Inwieweit Kinder und Jugendliche notwendige stationäre Behandlung erhielten und ob sich die in Studien gefundene Zunahme an affektiven und Essstörungen auch in der Krankenhausbehandlung wiederfindet, ist bisher unklar. Deshalb wurde anhand von Krankenhaus-Routinedatenfiles nach § 21 KHG (Krankenhausfinanzierungsgesetz) des Instituts für das Entgeltsystem im Krankenhaus (InEK) ein präpandemischer und ein pandemischer Halbjahreszeitraum (1. HJ 2019 vs. 1. HJ 2021) hinsichtlich der Fallzahlen, Diagnosen und Verweildauern in der Kinder- und Jugendpsychiatrie und -psychotherapie (KJPP) und der Pädiatrie deskriptiv analysiert. Zusätzlich wurde die Zahl der Notfallaufnahmen in der KJPP ausgewertet. Es zeigte sich eine Zunahme internalisierender Störungen (Depression, Anorexia nervosa, Belastungsstörungen) und eine Abnahme von Störungen des Sozialverhaltens mit emotionaler Störung in der KJPP. Daneben bildete sich eine deutliche Zunahme von Anorexien in der Pädiatrie ab, während die Behandlungen wegen Alkoholintoxikation sich dort halbierten. Das Notfallaufkommen in der KJPP veränderte sich im Bundesdurchschnitt nicht. In Regionen mit niedriger Bettenmessziffer (BMZ) wurde die Notfallversorgung in der KJPP priorisiert und die Verweildauer nahm ab, in Regionen mit guter BMZ und in der Pädiatrie nahm die Verweildauer tendenziell zu. Ein kontinuierliches Monitoring der Krankenhausversorgung unter Pandemiebedingungen unter Berücksichtigung sozial benachteiligter Kinder und Jugendlicher ist zu empfehlen.
P‐113: Efficiency Enhancement of Quantum dot Light‐Emitting Diodes Via Ligand Exchange (2021)

The unique features of solution‐processed quantum dots (QDs) including emission tunability in the visible range, high‐quality saturated color and outstanding intrinsic stability in environment are highly desired in various application fields. Especially, quantum dot light‐emitting diodes (QLEDs) are promising light sources for applications in displays. However, the imbalance injection of holes and electrons have always been a challenging issue of QLED. In this study, the modified ligands which is synthesized by ourselves are incorporated into QDs through solution ligand exchange. The highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) of QDs is upshifted from ‐5.65eV to ‐5.35eV, leading to the decrement of the energy gap between the HOMO of QDs and the HOMO of hole transport layer. Through the successful ligands exchange, improvement by factors of 7.5 is achieved in maximum external quantum efficiency (EQE) compared with QLED with OA ligands.
