EFFECT OF THE USE OF VIDEOS IN THE PRE-CLASS PREPARATION OF LABORATORY SESSIONS TAUGHT BY FLIP TEACHING (2020)

Nowadays, it is well stablished the effectiveness of flip teaching in different areas. Video is widely used as a pre-class learning material and it is progressively replacing text-document materials. The students, 70 in total, are enrolled in the laboratory practice of the subject of Physics (Bachelor's Degree: Industrial Electronics and Automation Engineering) at the Universitat Politcnica de Valncia. Student's perception data were collected from the results of a survey. Students were asked about the usefulness of the videos and the in-class work, paying special attention to the roll of the instructor in relation to the flip teaching methodology and the pre-class material. The students were divided into two groups. In one of them, the videos were recorded by the same instructor present at the lab session, whereas the other group, the videos used were recorded by instructors different from the instructor present at the lab. The results indicate that students feel that the videos are very useful, rather than the written documents. They attribute a high value to the instructor in the lab session as they feel more confident with their work and they can ask for help when needed. They value positively the possibility of work autonomously. Small differences have been found in the opinion of both groups being the higher in the question that concerns the preference of the videos respect to the text.
Generalized Sagnac Effect in Rotating Optical Cavities (2007)

We study the effect of rotation on resonances of an optical cavity in an accelerated frame of reference. We show that, even when the resonant modes of an optical cavity are wave-chaotic, degenerate resonant frequency of those modes split into different frequencies due to the rotation of the cavity. The frequency difference is proportional to the rotation rate, although the splitting resonant modes are still wave-chaotic, which do not have any corresponding counter-propagating waves as well as ray-dynamical counterparts.
Single quantum wire semiconductor lasers (1989)

Single quantum wire GaAs/AlGaAs injection lasers were fabricated using organometallic chemical vapor deposition on V-grooved GaAs substrates. The quantum wire active region has a crescent-shaped cross section ∼100 Å thick and less than 1000 Å wide. Amplified spontaneous emission and lasing spectra of the quantum wire lasers exhibit effects due to transitions between quasi-one-dimensional subbands separated by ∼10 meV. Single quantum wire laser structures with tight optical confinement exhibited threshold currents as low as 3.5 mA for uncoated devices at room temperature.

Polyhydroxyamine via Diensynthese mit Nitrosoverbindungen, V. 1,3‐Cyclohexadien‐5,6‐dicarbonsäurederivate als Reaktionspartner (1981)

Abstract Die Verwendung von 1,3‐Cyclohexadien‐5,6‐dicarbonsäurederivaten 1 als Edukte für die Reaktionsfolge: Diels‐Alder‐Reaktion mit Nitrosoverbindungen, Reduktion der Addukte, Hydroxylierung, führt zwar zu hexasubstituierten Cyclohexanen; Versuche zur Inosaminsynthese auf diesem Wege scheiterten jedoch.
Corrosion of mild steel exposed to inhibited urea--ammonium nitrate solution at ambient temperature under static conditions (1991)

A series of corrosion tests was performed with mild steel exposed to 32-0-0 UAN solution at ambient temperature, under static conditions, and at pHs of 6.8 to 7.2 to evaluate the effectiveness of several new corrosion inhibitors. Results of the tests revealed that the pH of 32-0-0 UAN in the neutral range does not significantly affect the corrosion rate of mild steel after prolonged exposure. The corrosion rate of mild steel was 60 to 70 mpy. Results of tests with inhibitors showed that 100 ppm of Surtech 143 from Surface Chemists of Florida, Inc., provided excellent corrosion resistance (approximately 1 mpy after long-term exposure). With a 5-minute surface treatment, Rust Resistor from Nutra-Flo Co., provided excellent corrosion resistance (corrosion rates less than 1 mpy). Corblok at 100 ppM provided excellent corrosion resistance up to 14 days (corrosion rate of approximately 2 mpy); the corrosion rate increased slightly when exposed for 28 days. Surtech 145 and Surtech 433 provided only limited protection.
Affect-Sensitive Computing and Autism (2011)

This chapter covers the application of affective computing using a physiological approach to children with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) during human-computer interaction (HCI) and human-robot interaction (HRI). Investigation into technology-assisted intervention for children with ASD has gained momentum in recent years. Clinicians involved in interventions must overcome the communication impairments generally exhibited by children with ASD by adeptly inferring the affective cues of the children to adjust the intervention accordingly. Similarly, an intelligent system, such as a computer or robot, must also be able to understand the affective needs of these children - an ability that the current technology-assisted ASD intervention systems lack - to achieve effective interaction that addresses the role of affective states in HCI, HRI, and intervention practice.Request access from your librarian to read this chapter's full text.
Shining a Light into the Darkness: How Cooperative Relay Communication Mitigates Correlated Shadow Fading (2015)

In a cellular network, connections between the Base Station (BS) and Mobile Stations (MS) may fail when the channel is in a deep fade. Shadow fading is large-scale fading which can cause significant received power loss for a wide area. This will lead to lost connections and/or packet loss which is harmful to mobile users, especially to those who are using real-time applications such as video conferencing. Cooperative communication is an efficient way to reduce outage and provide better Quality of Service (QoS) support for delay sensitive applications. A third station, which is often referred as a relay, can be used to forward signals between the BS and the MS. This paper focuses on a study of the performance of relay deployments under correlated shadow fading. We consider the downlink direction in a single cell deployment, for which the shadowing effect is modeled as an angle and distance based correlated shadowing. The received signal-to- noise ratio (SNR) is then calculated by assuming jointly Gaussian shadow fading at the MS. Simulation results show channel variations over time with fixed user speed under different relay deployments. These results demonstrate that a modest number of relays can improve the performance of real-time applications significantly.
<title>Ellipsometry As A Tool For Monitoring Molecular And Cellular Biological Processes In Vitro</title> (1976)

Several significant applications of ellipsometry in monitoring certain molecular and cellular biological processes in vitro are reviewed. The applications are derived from the important fields of blood coagulation, immunology, cytobiology and cytopathology.
Terrestrial Ecosystem Adaptation (2009)

In this report we evaluate adaptation issues for natural ecosystems. We will specifically focus on the interactions with the abiotic environment of plants and animals, along with other organisms with which they interact (e.g., disease-causing bacteria and viruses). We further limit ourselves to natural ecosystems in which the predominant vegetation has developed without having been planted, irrigated, or fertilized. Most of the natural lands in the United States are managed by federal or state governments. Agricultural lands— including range grazing lands — are dealt with in a related adaptation report. This will evaluate the potential magnitudes and challenges facing terrestrial ecosystems in the United States in adapting to changing climate over the next 30-50 years. Our report will not address attribution or mitigation of climate change, as these topics have been dealt with in many other forums. We will begin with a brief summary of the current trajectory of the changing climate in the United States, including both temporal and spatial patterns. We will then relate these trends to ecosystem impacts and vulnerabilities.
Multimodal summarization of meeting recordings (2003)

Recorded meetings are useful only if people can find, access, and browse them easily. Key-frames and video skims are useful representations that can enable quick previewing of the content without actually watching a meeting recording from beginning to end. This paper proposes a new method for creating meeting video skims based on audio and visual activity analysis together with text analysis. Audio activity analysis is performed by analyzing sound directions-indicating different speakers-and audio amplitude. Detection of important visual events in a meeting is achieved by analyzing the localized luminance variations in consideration with the omni-directional property of the video captured by our meeting recording system. Text analysis is based on the term frequency-inverse document frequency measure. The resulting video skims better capture the important meeting content compared to the skims obtained by uniform sampling.
Investigation of the Absorption Mechanism of Solubilized Curcumin Using Caco-2 Cell Monolayers (2011)

Curcumin is a bioactive compound with poor oral bioavailability. Low water solubility and rapid metabolism are two known limiting factors, but the absorption mechanism of solubilized curcumin remains unclear. This study investigated the permeation mechanism of solubilized curcumin using an in vitro Caco-2 cell monolayer model. It was shown that curcumin permeated across the monolayers fairly rapidly [P(app)(A-B) = (7.1 ± 0.7) × 10(-6) cm/s] and the permeation mechanism was found as passive diffusion [P(app)(B-A)/P(app)(A-B) = 1.4]. Furthermore, the permeation rates of curcumin complexed with bovine serum albumin and in the bile salts-fatty acids mixed micelles were also determined as P(app)(mixed micelle) > P(app)(DMSO) > P(app)(protein complex). These results suggested that solubilization agents play an important role in the permeation of solubilized curcumin, and stronger binding between the solubilization agents and curcumin may decrease the permeation rate. The results further suggest that lipid-based formulations, which solubilize curcumin in mixed micelles after lipid digestion, are promising vehicles for curcumin oral delivery.
Prediction of Electromagnetic Forces and Vibrations in SRMs Operating at Steady-State and Transient Speeds (2005)

Although some research has been conducted on vibrations in switched reluctance motors (SRMs), the response during transients, which may occur during sudden load changes or braking, has not received much investigation. In this paper, a simulation model to predict the transient vibration of SRMs is developed. The vibration prediction model is built based on the detailed normal force versus phase current and rotor position lookup table using finite-element calculations. The model is then verified by a running motor test, which shows acceptable accuracy. The results reveal that there are abundant harmonics of transient force during transients and, thus, resonance may be excited. This model allows the possibility of improved design of SRMs from a vibration and acoustic noise point of view.

Abstract 9243: Comparison of the 2006 and 2010 Appropriate Use Criteria for CT Coronary Angiography in an Academic Medical Center (2011)

Purpose: We previously analyzed the 2006 appropriateness criteria for cardiac computed tomography (CT) and found 42% of our patients were not classifiable, suggesting the criteria were difficult to apply clinically. These criteria were revised in 2010. The purpose of our study is to compare the new 2010 appropriate use criteria to the original 2006 criteria to determine if the 2010 criteria were more applicable. Materials and Methods: In a previous study we applied the 2006 appropriateness criteria to 251 patients that underwent cardiac CT from June 1 to December 31, 2007. Each patient was assigned an indication from the 2006 appropriate use criteria by two observers, classifying patients as appropriate, inappropriate, uncertain, or nonclassifiable. A third observer settled disagreements. This process was applied to the same 251 patients using the 2010 criteria. The data from the previous study using the 2006 criteria was compared to the data obtained using the 2010 criteria to determine changes in the number of nonclassifiable, appropriate, inappropriate, and uncertain exams. These results were then analyzed using Bowker's test of symmetry. Observer agreement was calculated using the kappa statistic. Results: 115 patients (46%) were not classifiable using the 2006 criteria. When the 2010 criteria were applied, the number of not classifiable patients decreased to 40 (16%), with the plurality, 41 (16%), of the not classifiable patients moving to inappropriate. In 2006, 69 (27%) were classified as appropriate, 25 (10%) were uncertain, 42 (17%) inappropriate. In 2010, the appropriate increased to 84 (33%), uncertain increased to 40 (16%), and inappropriate increased to 87 (35%). Bowker's test of symmetry demonstrated a statistically significant change with a p&lt;0.001. Agreement between the two observers assigning patients to classification groups also improved with a kappa of 0.55 using the 2010 criteria compared to kappa of 0.31 in 2006. Conclusion: The number of not classifiable patients decreased using the 2010 criteria and the interobserver agreement improved, suggesting they are more applicable and complete than the 2006 criteria. This decrease in not classifiable patients came primarily from an increase in the number of inappropriate indications.
Carbonate dual-phase improves the performance of single-layer fuel cell made from mixed ionic and semiconductor composite (2020)

Abstract A mixed ionic and semiconducting composite in a single-layer configuration has been shown to work as a fuel cell at a lower temperature (500–600 °C) than a traditional solid-oxide fuel cell. The performance of a single-layer fuel cell (SLFC) is often limited by high resistive losses. Here, a eutectic mixture of alkali-carbonates was added to SLFC to improve the ionic conductivity. The dual-phase composite ionic conductor consisted of a ternary carbonate (sodium lithium potassium carbonate, NLKC) mixed with gadolinium-doped cerium oxide (GDC). Lithium nickel zinc oxide (LNZ) was used as the semiconducting material. The LNZ-GDC-NLKC SLFC reached a high power density, 582 mW/cm 2 (conductivity 0.22 S/cm) at 600 °C, which is 30 times better than without the carbonate. The best results were obtained with the ternary carbonate which decreased the ohmic losses of the cell by more than 95%, whereas the SLFC with a binary carbonate (sodium lithium carbonate, NLC) showed a lower conductivity and performance (243 mW/cm 2 , 0.17 S/cm at 600 °C). It is concluded that adding carbonates to LNZ-GDC will improve the ionic conductivity and positively contribute to the cell performance. These results suggest a potential path for further development of SLFCs, but also imply the need for efforts on up-scaling and stability to produce practical applications with SLFC.
Adrenal steroid precursors exert potent androgenic action in the hamster sebaceous glands of flank organs and ears. (1996)

To assess the effect of the androgen precursors dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) and androstenedione (4-ene-dione) on androgen-sensitive parameters in the skin of the hamster, these two steroids were released from SILASTIC implants inserted sc into castrated male hamsters. The pigmented area of the flank organs, the size of the underlying sebaceous glands, [3H]thymidine incorporation into these sebaceous glands, and the size of the ear sebaceous glands were measured. The decrease in flank organ size caused by orchidectomy was partially reversed by DHEA and completely reversed by 4-ene-dione, testosterone (T), or dihydrotestosterone (DHT) implants. Similarly, the size of the sebaceous glands of the flank organs was reduced 88.1% by castration, whereas DHEA, 4-ene-dione, T, and DHT implants reversed the effect of orchidectomy. Orchidectomy also decreased the sizes of the sebaceous glands of the ears; DHEA, 4-ene-dione, T, and DHT implants increased their sizes to 50.6%, 81.9%, 91.6%, and 105.8% of the values found in intact hamsters, respectively. Parallel results were observed on the labeling of flank organ sebaceous glands with [3H]thymidine as well as on prostate weight. Serum concentrations of T and DHT became undetectable in castrated hamsters and were increased to intact or slightly elevated values in animals receiving implants of DHEA, 4-ene-dione, or T. The present results show that DHEA and 4-ene-dione are potent stimulators of androgen-sensitive parameters in the sebaceous glands of both the flank organs and ears in the hamster and illustrate the importance of extragonadal or peripheral intracrine formation of active steroids. It is suggested that the castrated hamster supplemented with adrenal precursor steroids is a good model that can closely mimic the human situation, where adrenal steroids play an important role in androgen formation and action in peripheral tissues.
Generalized KYP Lemma With Real Data (2011)

A recent generalization of the Kalman-Yakubovich-Popov (KYP) lemma establishes the equivalence between a semi-infinite inequality on a segment of a line or circle in the complex plane and a linear matrix inequality (LMI). In this technical note we show that when the data are real, the matrix variables in the LMI can be restricted to be real, even when the frequency range is asymmetric with respect to the real axis.

THE EFFECT OF NANOSCALE SELENIUM ON THE CAUSATIVE AGENT OF RING ROT AND POTATO IN VITRO (2019)

The biological activity of biopolymer-based selenium nanocomposite with a high selenium content of 6.4% was investigated. It was shown earlier that nanocomposites of selenium and arabinogalactan (NC Se/AG, 1.23% and 3.4% Se) have a bactericidal and bacteriostatic effect on the pathogenic bacterium Clavibacter michiganensis subsp. sepedonicus (Cms) and do not adversely affect the vitality of potato plants in vitro. In this work, it was shown that the nanocomposite under scrutiny has a bacteriostatic effect, inhibits bacterial growth by 20% compared with the check variant and reduces the ability of Cms to form biofilms, which contribute to their high resistance to external factors. In the experiments conducted on plants, it was shown, there was not negative effect of NC Se/AG on biometric parameters, furthermore, this NC reduces the negative effect of potato infection with Cms. The nanocomposite reduced the activity of peroxidase and the content of reactive oxygen species in potato tissues. It was established that selenium does not accumulate in potato plants after the treatment with NC Se/AG. The results obtained allow us to consider NC Se/AG (6.4% Se) as an agent for healing cultivated plants from pathogenic bacteria.
The Interrelations Between Different Causes of Dizziness: A Conceptual Framework for Understanding Vestibular Disorders (2019)

Background: According to population-based studies that estimate disease prevalence, the majority of patients evaluated at dizziness clinics receive a single vestibular diagnosis. However, accumulating literature supports the notion that different vestibular disorders are interrelated and often underdiagnosed. Objective: Given the complexity and richness of these interrelations, we propose that a more inclusive conceptual framework to vestibular diagnostics that explicitly acknowledges this web of association will better inform vestibular differential diagnosis. Methods: A narrative review was performed using PubMed database. Articles were included if they defined a cohort of patients, who were given specific vestibular diagnosis. The interrelations among vestibular disorders were analyzed and placed within a conceptual framework. Results: The frequency of patients currently receiving multiple vestibular diagnoses in dizziness clinic is approximately 3.7% (1263/33 968 patients). The most common vestibular diagnoses encountered in the dizziness clinic include benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV), vestibular migraine, vestibular neuritis, and Ménière’s disease. Conclusions: A review of the literature demonstrates an intricate web of interconnections among different vestibular disorders such as BPPV, vestibular migraine, Ménière’s disease, vestibular neuritis, bilateral vestibulopathy, superior canal dehiscence syndrome, persistent postural perceptual dizziness, anxiety, head trauma, and aging, among others.
Shakespeare's Jew (1939)

Shylock again? But I shall endeavour to forget what I have written about him, and others have written about him, and be for the time the simple auditor and spectator whom Shakespeare sought to interest and move. I cannot turn into a London citizen at the Globe or the Curtain; but I can rely upon my eyes and ears and everyday wits, as he did and Shakespeare expected him to do, instead of examining my own consciousness or bowing to that of my predecessors.
