Cleaning of flue gas by use of molten salts. 1. Simultaneous reduction of sulfur oxides (SOx) and nitrogen oxides (NOx) with vanadium pentoxide catalyst (1984)

Simultaneous reduction of SO/SUB/x and NO/SUB/x from flue gas by use of molten salts of the NH/sub 4/HSO/sub 4//NaHSO/sub 4/ system containing metal sulphates or oxides as catalysts was studied in the temperature range 130-220 C. It was found that V/sub 2/O/sub 5/ showed a relatively high catalytic activity for the reduction of SO/SUB/x and NO/SUB/x by reaction with ammonia. Addition of transition metal sulphates such as Ti(SO/sub 4/)/sub 2/, CuSO/sub 4/ or Zr(SO/sub 4/)/sub 2/ led to a marked increase in the SO/SUB/x reduction. In the reaction system SO/sub 2/ was absorbed in an unstable form in the absence of catalyst but was trapped as a more stable form in the presence of V/sub 2/O/sub 5/ while NO was reduced by NH/sub 3/ to N/sub 2/ in the presence of the catalyst.
Regeneration as an evolutionary variable (2001)

Regeneration poses a distinctive set of problems for evolutionary biologists, but there has been little substantive progress since these issues were clearly outlined in the monograph of T. H. Morgan (1901). The champions at regeneration among vertebrates are the urodele amphibians such as the newt, and we tend to regard urodele regeneration as an exceptional attribute. The ability to regenerate large sections of the body plan is widespread in metazoan phylogeny, although it is not universal. It is striking that in phylogenetic contexts where regeneration occurs, closely related species are observed which do not possess this ability. It is a challenge to reconcile such variation between species with a conventional selective interpretation of regeneration. The critical hypothesis from phylogenetic analysis is that regeneration is a basic, primordial attribute of metazoans rather than a mechanism which has evolved independently in a variety of contexts. In order to explain its absence in closely related species, it is postulated to be lost secondarily for reasons which are not understood. Our approach to this question is to compare a differentiated newt cell with its mammalian counterpart in respect of the plasticity of differentiation.
Antimicrobial photodynamic therapy combined with antibiotics reduces resistance and aids elimination in four resistant bacterial strains (2022)

Antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (aPDT) in combination with antibiotics leads to a notable reduction in antibiotic minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC). Four antibiotic resistant bacterial strains (<i>E. faecalis</i> OG1RF(+), <i>P. aeruginosa</i> PA01, <i>K. pneumoniae, E. coli</i> ETEC) were evaluated with four antibiotics (ampicillin, kanamycin, tetracycline, chloramphenicol) in a combination treatment with methylene blue aPDT. Treatment involved co-culture of antibiotics with 1.0 <i>&mu;𝑀</i> MB followed by exposure to 0 to 14.4 <sup>𝐽</sup> <sub>𝑐𝑚<sup>2</sup></sub> of light over 0 to 10 minutes at a rate of 30 <sup>𝑚𝑊</sup> <sub>𝑐𝑚<sup>2</sup></sub>. MIC of test groups was compared to controls to evaluate direct effects on resistance, and further aPDT controls were used to evaluate measures of synergistic effect based on fractional inhibitory concentration index (FICI). It was found that 12 of 16 strain-antibiotic combinations have a reduction in antibiotic resistance during treatment, two of which are statistically significant. The calculated FICI values for these combinations contain 6 indifferent values between 1.0 and 1.5 and 10 additive values at or below 1.0, one of which was 0.43, qualifying as synergistic treatment. Overall, this survey provides a brief exploration of aPDT as an adjunct therapy for combatting antibiotic resistant bacteria. Further targeted research on strain-antibiotic combinations of interest may reveal valuable synergistic effects.
Metabolic analysis of the cinnamate/monolignol pathway in Carthamus tinctorius seeds by a stable-isotope-dilution method (2007)

The present study established a system for comprehensive metabolic analysis of the cinnamate/monolignol and lignan pathways by the use of a stable-isotope-dilution method. The system was successfully applied to characterization of the pathways in Carthamus tinctorius cv. Round-leaved White maturing seeds in combination with administration of stable-isotope-labelled precursors. Experimental results obtained using this technique strongly suggested the intermediacy of ferulic acid in lignan biosynthesis in the plant.
A Transactional Model for Long-Running Activities (1991)

Many computer-supported applications are of long duration and consist of multiple steps that are exe-cuted over possibly heterogeneous servers. Such activ-ities have weaker atomicity requirements than trans-actions. Previously, we illustrated how to organize the execution of such activities using triggers and transac-tions. In this paper, we describe an execution model in.which activities may consist recursively of steps that may be subactivities or transactions. The model defines precisely the semantics of activities: commu-nication between steps and the failure semantics of activities including compensation and exception han-dling. The model also supports querying the status of activities. We also propose an implementation of the model using recoverable queues for reliably chaining the steps according to the semantics of the model. 1

End-to-end anomaly detection in stream data (2020)

Nowadays, huge volumes of data are generated with increasing velocity through various systems, applications, and activities. This increases the demand for stream and time series analysis to react to changing conditions in real-time for enhanced efficiency and quality of service delivery as well as upgraded safety and security in private and public sectors. Despite its very rich history, time series anomaly detection is still one of the vital topics in machine learning research and is receiving increasing attention. Identifying hidden patterns and selecting an appropriate model that fits the observed data well and also carries over to unobserved data is not a trivial task. Due to the increasing diversity of data sources and associated stochastic processes, this pivotal data analysis topic is loaded with various challenges like complex latent patterns, concept drift, and overfitting that may mislead the model and cause a high false alarm rate. Handling these challenges leads the advanced anomaly detection methods to develop sophisticated decision logic, which turns them into mysterious and inexplicable black-boxes. Contrary to this trend, end-users expect transparency and verifiability to trust a model and the outcomes it produces. Also, pointing the users to the most anomalous/malicious areas of time series and causal features could save them time, energy, and money. For the mentioned reasons, this thesis is addressing the crucial challenges in an end-to-end pipeline of stream-based anomaly detection through the three essential phases of behavior prediction, inference, and interpretation. The first step is focused on devising a time series model that leads to high average accuracy as well as small error deviation. On this basis, we propose higher-quality anomaly detection and scoring techniques that utilize the related contexts to reclassify the observations and post-pruning the unjustified events. Last but not least, we make the predictive process transparent and verifiable by providing meaningful reasoning behind its generated results based on the understandable concepts by a human. The provided insight can pinpoint the anomalous regions of time series and explain why the current status of a system has been flagged as anomalous. Stream-based anomaly detection research is a principal area of innovation to support our economy, security, and even the safety and health of societies worldwide. We believe our proposed analysis techniques can contribute to building a situational awareness platform and open new perspectives in a variety of domains like cybersecurity, and health.

Aerodynamic analysis of a helicopter fuselage with rotating rotor head (2015)

The present paper describes results of wind tunnel experiments obtained during a research programme aimed at drag reduction of the fuselage of a twin engine light helicopter configuration. A 1 : 5 scale model of a helicopter fuselage including a rotating rotor head and landing gear was investigated in the low-speed wind tunnel A of Technische Universität a München (TUM). The modelled parts of the helicopter induce approxiu mately 80% of the total parasite drag thus forming a major potential for shape optimizations. The present paper compares results of force and moment measurements of a baseline configuration and modified variants with an emphasis on the aerodynamic drag, lift, and yawing moment coefficients.

Behavior of free testosterone in patients with prostate cancer on androgen deprivation therapy (2005)

The castration level of FT was established at 1.7 pg/mL. Serum TT and TF correlated very well; however, they seemed to provide complementary information in the evaluation of ADT efficiency. 14.1% of the patients on ADT failed to reach the castration level of serum TT; determination of serum FT in these patients would reduce this rate to 5.2%. (Int J Biol Markers 2005; 20: 119-22).
Report on data quality and usability assessment strategies to support assessment and compatibility of intake and consumer behaviour datasets for FNS-Cloud (2021)

In the era of increasing data reuse, it is imperative for the maintenance of scientific quality that all data selected for secondary analysis be <em>fit for the intended purpose</em>. Whilst it is true that many datasets <em>can </em>be reused the question remains over whether they <em>should </em>be. Within FNS-Cloud there is a need for a framework to support the researcher in making that decision. This deliverable primarily captures data from the food intake and lifestyle domain of the FNS-Cloud data map (presented in deliverable 2.1). Therefore, the aim of this deliverable is to to describe the development of a quality assessment framework for FNS-Cloud. To achieve this aim markers of quality were identified for dietary intake, lifestyle, demographic, anthropometric and consumer behaviour data where quality was considered at a data collection, data management and data analysis level. These markers then informed the development of flow charts for each data domain. The flow charts comprise a series of questions relating to an aspect of quality specific to each data domain. Individualised messages specific to the answers given to each question were developed to provide the researcher with considerations to support them in their decision of whether the data they have selected is appropriate for their research question. As part of the next phase of implementing the quality assessment into FNS-Cloud, the flow charts will undergo a 2-step evaluation process: 1) internal by partners of FNS-Cloud with domain specific knowledge, 2) external by specific members of the EEAB. It is hoped that the framework will be deployed within FNS Cloud and used by all data users as one of the first steps in identifying datasets suitable for use in their specific analyses.
Research on the performance of an adsorption heat pump in winter demand response (2016)

Demand response is an efficient method to flatten the demand curves of end-use customers. This article studies the feasibility of an adsorption heat pump in the demand response of a residential building under winter operating conditions. Stratified storage is introduced into the stratified heat pump system to realize heat recovery, which is also used as a buffer energy source when power shortages occur. This article studies the performance of an adsorption heat pump when the system disconnects the external energy source to simulate the situation of a demand response event occurring through experiments. Moreover, the heating loads of a typical residential building are obtained from the simulations on EnergyPlus. Two day types are selected to evaluate the demand response performance of the system in different situations. The coolest day presents an extreme situation, and the design day represents a normal situation. The demand response potential of the adsorption heat pump is estimated by comparing the heating capacity of the system and heating load curves of the residential building.

Metakaolin-based geopolymers filled with volcanic fly ashes: FT-IR, thermal characterization, and antibacterial property (2023)

Abstract In countries where volcanic activity is widespread, fly ash (FA) formation can represent both a waste to be disposed of and a resource of inorganic substances that can be utilized. Among the technologies able to incorporate FA, geopolymers (GP) or inorganic aluminosilicate amorphous materials are very suitable for this purpose. In this study, GP are realized using metakaolin (MK), sodium hydroxide solution (NaOH 8 M), sodium silicate solution (Na 2 SiO 3 ), and FA as filler (20 wt% with respect to MK content). The samples were cured at 25 or 40°C for 24 h and the physicochemical, thermal, and antibacterial properties of this material through the integrity test, weight loss test, Fourier-transform infra-red spectroscopy (FT-IR), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and Kirby-Bauer assay were assessed. Integrity and weight loss tests indirectly revealed the stability of the macroscopic 3D networks and that the curing at 40°C led to more stable GP. The shift of the Si–O–T absorption band (from 1,090 cm −1 of the MK to 1,017–1,012 cm −1 of the specimens with and without FA) in FT-IR spectra suggested the occurrence of the geopolymerizazion reactions, while TGA study confirmed the higher stability of samples cured at 40°C (with a mass loss equal to 7–13% at 800°C under nitrogen atmosphere). Finally, the antimicrobial activity shed light on the ability of the synthesized GP with the filler and treated at 40°C to have a great effect against Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa .

Hyperbaric Spinal Levobupivacaine: A Comparison to Racemic Bupivacaine in Volunteers (2002)

Levobupivacaine is the isolated S-enantiomer of bupivacaine and may be a favorable alternative to spinal bupivacaine. However, its clinical efficacy relative to bupivacaine and its dose-response characteristics, in spinal anesthesia, must first be known. This double-blinded, randomized, cross-over study was designed to compare the clinical efficacy of hyperbaric levobupivacaine and bupivacaine for spinal anesthesia. Eighteen healthy volunteers were randomized into three equal groups to receive two spinal anesthetics, one with bupivacaine and the other with levobupivacaine, of equal-milligram doses (4, 8, or 12 mg). We assessed blockade quality and duration with pinprick, transcutaneous electrical stimulation, thigh tourniquet, abdominal and quadriceps muscle strength, modified Bromage scale, and time until achievement of discharge criteria. Sensory and motor block were similar between the same doses of levobupivacaine and bupivacaine (P > 0.56 to 0.86). For example, in the 12-mg groups of levobupivacaine versus bupivacaine, mean duration of tolerance to transcutaneous electrical stimulation at T12 was 100 min for both. The duration of motor block at the quadriceps was 71 versus 73 min, and time until achievement of discharge criteria was 164 min for both. Hyperbaric spinal levobupivacaine has equivalent clinical efficacy to racemic bupivacaine for spinal anesthesia in doses from 4 to 12 mg.
Eco-Cooling Control Strategy for Automotive Air-Conditioning System: Design and Experimental Validation (2020)

The operation of the air-conditioning (A/C) system can significantly increase the energy consumption of passenger vehicles. In this article, aiming at reducing the vehicle-level energy consumption in hot weather, an optimization-based energy-efficient control strategy for the A/C system, which is referred to as the eco-cooling, is developed and experimentally validated. The proposed eco-cooling strategy leverages the A/C system efficiency sensitivity to the vehicle speed and the thermal storage of the passenger cabin to coordinate the A/C operation with vehicle speed profile by actively shifting the A/C thermal load toward the more efficient region at higher vehicle speeds. The proposed strategy exploits model predictive control and incorporates speed preview information while enforcing constraints. The effectiveness of the control strategy is first demonstrated on a high-fidelity simulation model and then implemented experimentally on a hybrid electric vehicle. Repeatable vehicle tests show that, over a real-world city driving cycle, an average energy saving of 5.7% can be achieved at the vehicle level using the proposed eco-cooling strategy compared with a baseline A/C control strategy that runs A/C with a constant setting. This energy-saving is achieved, while the proposed eco-cooling strategy delivers a similar amount of cooling energy to the cabin compared with that of the baseline strategy with a 2.7% difference on average.
Local networking and internetworking in the V-system (1983)

Local networking can be treated as a subset of internetworking for remote terminal access and file transfer. However, a distributed operating system, such as the V-System uses a local network more as an extended backplane than a fast, minature long-haul network.
Pathogenesis of Porcine Rotaviral Infection in Experimentally Inoculated Gnotobiotic Pigs (1978)

Porcine rotavirus was shown to infect gnotobiotic pigs and induce an acute enteric disease clinically characterized by diarrhea, anorexia, depression, and occasional vomition. Onset of clinical signs correlated closely with the appearance of lesions within the small intestinal mucosa, and recovery from infection was associated with the regeneration of normal, functional villous epithelium. Villous atrophy, especially in the caudal two-thirds of the small intestine, was the consistent lesion observed in pigs with clinical signs of rotaviral infection. Villi were often short, blunt, and covered with cuboidal epithelial cells. Immunofluorescent microscopy methods demonstrated that the principal site of rotaviral replication was the villous columnar epithelial cells in the small intestine.
A model for the formation of calcium carbide in solid pellets (1975)

Abstract Experiments have been conducted on the formation of calcium carbide in the solid state from 2.22‐cm diameter cylindrical pellets of a 3/1 mole mixture of carbon and lime between 1650°C and 1720°C at 50 mm Hg CO pressure. The reaction was modelled assuming that heat transfer across a growing product layer controls the rate of movement of a reaction front where the overall reaction to form CaC 2 is assumed to occur instantaneously to a fractional conversion f. The model depends upon a knowledge of the CaC 2 decomposition rate in the product layer ko 2 e −ΔE/RgT and the effective thermal conductivity k 0 . These may be estimated from independent data but require adjustment for particular pellet conditions. Good agreement with the data shows that the model is adequate for preliminary design and optimization studies.
