Reply to the Letter to the Editor: How Does Ulnar Shortening Osteotomy Influence Morphologic Changes in the Triangular Fibrocartilage Complex? (2014)

To the editor, We would like to thank Spies and colleagues for their interest and insightful comments regarding our recently published study [2]. Arthroscopy is the gold standard for diagnosis of triangular fibrocartilage complex (TFCC) lesions. However, we made the diagnosis of TFCC injury based on physical examination and findings on MRI arthrography. Arthroscopy was performed to determine surgical strategies to treat the TFCC lesions, which underwent repair, reconstruction, or ulnar shortening at the first part of the operation. As Spies and colleagues pointed out, in order to note improvement of the triangular fibrocartilage (TFC) thickness in Palmer Type 2, there should be a difference in the number of apoptotic cells by stage. However, in our study, this evaluation was not possible because all cases of degenerative lesions were evaluated as Palmer Type 2, and we did not perform a detailed stage classification (Palmer 2A-2E). When the TFC is destroyed completely (as was the case for the Palmer Type 2E lesion) MRI cannot delineate the structure of the TFC, and these were ultimately excluded from the study. Because our study only involved MRI evaluation, we did not have the ability to determine whether a change in disc thickness could have contributed to cell regeneration entirely, or if this change could have been caused by accumulation of bound water molecules within the extracellular matrix. We also evaluated regeneration of the TFC after ulnar shortening at the time of plate removal (usually 1 year after the initial procedure). As of this writing, 41% (115/282) of the wrists showed regeneration of the TFC. A total of 73% (55/76) of the wrists with large perforation had synovial recoverage of the TFC. This is consistent with a previous study which showed that TFC can regenerate even in avascular areas [1]. However, it is difficult to explain the improvement of the TFC avascular area only by cell regeneration. Final MRI assessment was done at least 4 years after the initial treatment. We believe that the extracellular matrix can be involved in TFC repair.

Chemical Clearing and Dehydration of GFP Expressing Mouse Brains (2012)

Generally, chemical tissue clearing is performed by a solution consisting of two parts benzyl benzoate and one part benzyl alcohol. However, prolonged exposure to this mixture markedly reduces the fluorescence of GFP expressing specimens, so that one has to compromise between clearing quality and fluorescence preservation. This can be a severe drawback when working with specimens exhibiting low GFP expression rates. Thus, we screened for a substitute and found that dibenzyl ether (phenylmethoxymethylbenzene, CAS 103-50-4) can be applied as a more GFP-friendly clearing medium. Clearing with dibenzyl ether provides improved tissue transparency and strikingly improved fluorescence intensity in GFP expressing mouse brains and other samples as mouse spinal cords, or embryos. Chemical clearing, staining, and embedding of biological samples mostly requires careful foregoing tissue dehydration. The commonly applied tissue dehydration medium is ethanol, which also can markedly impair GFP fluorescence. Screening for a substitute also for ethanol we found that tetrahydrofuran (CAS 109-99-9) is a more GFP-friendly dehydration medium than ethanol, providing better tissue transparency obtained by successive clearing. Combined, tetrahydrofuran and dibenzyl ether allow dehydration and chemical clearing of even delicate samples for UM, confocal microscopy, and other microscopy techniques.

Dynamics of adatoms of theSi(111)−(7×7)surface studied by reflection high-energy positron diffraction (2004)

The thermal vibrational amplitude of adatoms of $0.14\phantom{\rule{0.2em}{0ex}}\mathrm{\AA{}}$ at $293\phantom{\rule{0.3em}{0ex}}\mathrm{K}$ and $0.23\phantom{\rule{0.2em}{0ex}}\mathrm{\AA{}}$ at $873\phantom{\rule{0.3em}{0ex}}\mathrm{K}$ are determined at the total reflection scheme. The surface Debye temperature of $290\phantom{\rule{0.3em}{0ex}}\mathrm{K}$ is also determined from the temperature dependences of positron diffraction intensities which are measured in the temperature range of $273\phantom{\rule{0.5em}{0ex}}\text{to}\phantom{\rule{0.5em}{0ex}}873\phantom{\rule{0.3em}{0ex}}\mathrm{K}$. From the analysis based on the dynamical diffraction theory and considering the thermal diffuse scattering, the average thermal vibrational amplitude of the surface atoms is enhanced as compared to that obtained in previous studies. This result indicates that the adatom bonds of the $\mathrm{Si}(111)\text{\ensuremath{-}}(7\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}7)$ surface become softer at temperatures considerably below the $7\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}7$ to $1\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}1$ phase transition temperature.

Histone affinity chromatography as a tool for fractionating nonhistone chromatin proteins and studying histone-nonhistone protein interactions. (1978)

NaCl, and the salt concen- tration then gradually lowered by gradient dialysis, elution of the histone-Sepharose with increasing NaCl concentration reveals the presence of several peaks of bound radioactivity which are not observed with con- trol columns (blank Sepharose or cytochrome c linked to Sepharose). Columns of histone H2B bind more la- beled nonhistones than do columns of histone Hl and the radioactive proteins are eluted at higher salt con- centrations. A given peak, rechromatographed on the same histone column, is eluted at the same NaCl con- centration originally required for elution. However, when rechromatographed on another type of histone column, the same peak is eluted at an NaCl concentra- tion different from that required for the original elu- tion. Sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel elec- trophoresis and autoradiography of the radioactive peaks eluted from the histone columns shows a number of highly radioactive proteins, some binding to both histone columns, and others binding preferentially to either histone H2B or Hl. These experiments therefore suggest that some nonhistone proteins, particularly the phosphorylated ones, bind to histones in a selective fashion. Both histone and nonhistone chromatin proteins are thought to be involved in regulating chromatin structure and function. The histones function mainly by packing DNA into compact structures known as v bodies or nucleosomes (l-3). This complexing of DNA with histones generally renders the DNA inefficient as a template for RNA synthesis (4). The
Current attitudes to total hip replacement in the younger patient: results of a national survey. (2000)

A postal questionnaire was sent to all practicing consultant orthopaedic surgeons in the UK seeking information regarding their usual total hip replacement practice, the age at which they would define a patient as falling into the 'young hip group' and whether this might modify their practice. In particular, in the 'younger' age group, we were interested in the frequency of usage of uncemented implants, the choice of implant and the bearing surfaces. Of 1242 surgeons surveyed, we had a response from 935 who currently undertake total hip arthroplasty. Their responses confirm that approximately 60,645 total hip replacements are performed annually in the UK of which 9,376 are performed in the younger age group (mean age 57.5 years). As with our previous survey, the most popular prosthesis in the 'older' age group overall was the Charnley (51%) followed by the Exeter (15%). These implants also proved to be the most popular in the 'younger' age group (40% Charnley, 18% Exeter), with 75% of surgeons choosing a cemented stem, and 65% also opting to cement the socket. 23% of surgeons used hydroxy-apatite coated implants on both the femoral and acetabular sides of the joint. Stainless steel remained the most popular choice of femoral head bearing surface (42%) followed by chrome-cobalt (33%) and ceramic (25%). On the acetabular side, high density polyethylene predominated--accounting for 95%, with only 3% using chrome cobalt and 2% ceramic. There would appear to be a remarkably conservative attitude among British surgeons, the majority of whom prefer to stick with tried and tested cemented femoral implants when dealing with the younger patient. There are a small number of uncemented acetabulae and the hybrid configuration. Hydroxy-apatite coatings seem to be the most popular choice for the non-cemented prostheses. Ceramic femoral heads are used more frequently than the ceramic acetabular bearing, and equally metal/metal bearings remain infrequently used.
New Accelerated Testing and Lifetime Modeling Methods Promise Faster Development of More Durable MEAs (2005)

For the successful commercialization of fuel cell technology, it is imperative that membrane electrode assembly (MEA) durability is understood and quantified. MEA lifetimes of 40,000 hours remain a key target for stationary power applications. Since it is impractical to wait 40,000 hours for durability results, it is critical to learn as much information as possible in as short a time period as possible to determine if an MEA sample will survive past its lifetime target. Consequently, 3M has utilized accelerated testing and statistical lifetime modeling tools to develop a methodology for evaluating MEA lifetime. Construction and implementation of a multi-cell test stand have allowed for multiple accelerated tests and stronger statistical data for learning about durability.
To assess smart manufacturing readiness by maturity model: a case study on Taiwan enterprises (2019)

In 2013, the German government implemented the strategic initiative Industry 4.0 to establish itself as a leader in advanced manufacturing and the transformation to digitalisation. Numerous manufacturers continue to explore ways to evaluate and enhance their capabilities to tackle market competition. This empirical study adopts a maturity model that is based on the Economic Development Board’s Singapore Smart Industry Readiness Index. The model will allow companies to conduct self-assessments so that they can systematically and comprehensively align themselves with Industry 4.0. This study conducts a clustering analysis to explore the maturity of Industry 4.0 in Taiwan, the clustering’s index factors, and the impact of key factors on companies’ self-assessment. Classifying 80 Taiwan enterprises into four categories, it shows a significantly positive correlation among process, technology, and organisation. Further, a majority of the 80 companies tested under the maturity model still appear to be immature or partially mature, and needing much improvement and the re-evaluation of their transformation strategies related to Industry 4.0. Finally, the Singapore Smart Industry Readiness Index is suitable to conduct self-assessments in Taiwan-based enterprises. These findings could serve as useful maturity and grouping guidelines for practitioners and researchers.

A novel buried-gate static induction transistor with diffused source region (2003)

Based on the surface-gate and buried-gate structures, a novel buried-gate structure for static induction devices (SIDs) has been proposed, called the diffused source region buried-gate structure. In this paper, we present an approach to realize a buried-gate type static induction transistor by conventional planar process technology. Using this new structure, we successfully avoid the second epitaxy with a high degree of difficulty and the complicated mesa process in a conventional buried gate. The experimental results demonstrate that this structure is desirable for application in power SIDs. Its prominent advantages are high breakdown voltage and blocking gain.
Modeling of cell signaling pathways in macrophages by semantic networks (2004)

We concluded from our results that the semantic network is an effective method to model cell signaling pathways. The semantic model allows proper representation and integration of information on biological structures and their interactions at different levels. The reconstruction of the cell signaling network in the macrophage allowed detailed investigation of connections among various essential molecules and reflected the cause-effect relationships among signaling events. The simulation demonstrated the dynamics of the semantic network, where a change of states on a molecule can alter its function and potentially cause a chain-reaction effect in the system.

Solid Logic Technology: Versatile, High-Performance Microelectronics (1964)

A new microelectronics packaging technique, called Solid Logic Technology (SLT), utilizes silicon planar glass-encapsulated transistors and diodes, and graphic arts techniques for producing high-quality, passive components having tight tolerances. The result is a process permitting the low-cost realization of a variety of versatile, high-performance circuit modules. The salient features of SLT are described: the unique form of the semiconductor devices, the module fabrication process, and some performance results. In addition, insight is provided to the range of components that may be fabricated with this technology, i.e., inductors, capacitors and high-power transistors. Examples are shown of specific high-speed, high-density and complex circuit packages.
Quantification of sensory information in human balance control (2002)

A human balance control model is developed, which includes the different sensory systems as well as neural time delays. The model is based on optimal control theory. Platform perturbation experiments were done to quantify the precision of the different sensory systems by matching model predictions with experimental results. The precision of the sensors was quantified by the variances of sensor noise. The noise to signal ratios for the muscle spindles are 3-7% and for vision 11-14%. For the vestibular organs unambiguous noise to signal ratios could not be found. To find the noise to signal ratios of the vestibular organs the method of identification of sensory information has to be modified.
Spatial orientation and distribution of reservoir fractures from scattered seismic energy (2004)

Details of a new method (Willis et al, 2004) for determining the reflection and scattering characteristics of seismic energy from subsurface fractured formations are presented. The method is based upon observations made from 3D finite difference modeling of the reflected and scattered seismic energy over discrete systems of vertical fractures. Regularly spaced, discrete vertical fractures impart a ringing coda type signature to any seismic energy which is transmitted through or reflected off of them. This signature varies in amplitude and coherence as a function of several parameters including: 1) the difference in angle between the orientation of the fractures and the acquisition direction, 2) the fracture spacing, 3) the wavelength of the illuminating seismic energy, and 4) the compliance, or stiffness, of the fractures. This coda energy is greatest when the acquisition direction is parallel to the fractures, the seismic wavelengths are tuned to the fracture spacing, and when the fractures have low stiffness. The method uses surface seismic reflection traces to derive a transfer function which quantifies the change in an apparent source wavelet propagating through a fractured interval. The transfer function for an interval with low scattering will be more spike‐like and temporally compact. The transfer function for an interval with high scattering will ring and be less temporally compact. When a 3D survey is acquired with a full range of azimuths, the variation in the derived transfer functions allows the identification of subsurface areas with high fracturing and the orientation (or strike) of those fractures. The method was calibrated with model data and then applied to a field with a fractured reservoir giving results which agree with known field measurements.
Temporal Multimodal Graph Transformer With Global-Local Alignment for Video-Text Retrieval (2022)

Video-text retrieval is a crucial task that has been a powerful application for multi-media data analysis and attracted tremendous interest in the research area. The core steps are feature representations and alignment to overcome the heterogeneous gap between videos and texts. Existing methods not only take advantage of multi-modal information in videos but also explore local alignment to enhance retrieval accuracy. Although performing well, these methods seem deficient at three perspectives: a) The semantic correlations between different modal features are not considered, which introduces irrelevant noise in feature representations. b) The cross-modal relations and temporal associations are ambiguously learned by a single self-attention manipulation. c) The training signal to optimize the semantic topic assignment for local alignment is missing. In this paper, we proposed a novel Temporal Multi-modal Graph Transformer with Global-Local Alignment (TMMGT-GLA) for video-text retrieval. We model the input video as a sequence of semantic correlation graphs to exploit the structural information between multi-modal features. Graph and temporal self-attention layers are leveraged on the semantic correlation graphs to effectively learn cross-modal relations and temporal associations respectively. For local alignment, the encoded video and text features are assigned to a set of shared semantic topics, and the distances between residuals from the same ones are minimized. To optimize the assignments, a minimum entropy-based regularization term is proposed for training the overall framework. Experimental results are carried out on the MSR-VTT, LSMDC, and ActivityNet Captions datasets. Our method outperforms previous approaches by a large margin and achieves state-of-the-art performance.
