Modular communication subsystem implementation using a synchronous approach (1994)

Diamond-like carbon (DLC)-steel contacts become more and more popular in the industry now. Since the surface chemical properties of DLC are quite different from those of iron, traditional formulated lubricants have problems to form tribo-chemical films, which are effective to improve the tribological performance for steel-steel contacts, on the surface of DLC. Thus, new lubricants formulation strategies are needed to be considered for steel-DLC applications. A kind of green lubricant (lignin-[Choline][L-Proline] (L-[CH][Pro])) without any traditional tribo-chemical active element, i.e., free of P, S, B, etc., was studied in this paper for the steel-DLC contact. To find the difference between this new ILs and the traditional lubricants, a commercially available fully formulated lubricant was used as a reference. An Optimol SRV-III oscillating friction and wear tester was used to evaluate the tribological performance. Three different kinds of commercially available DLC coatings (Tribobond 40(Cr + a-C:H:W), Tribobond 43 [(Cr+) a-C:H), and Tribobond 44(a-C:Cr)] were investigated. The results show that the ILs exhibit an obviously lower friction coefficient than that of the traditional commercially available fully formulated lubricant. Among those three DLC coatings, the (Cr+) a-C:H DLC coating exhibits the biggest improvement of wear resistance lubricated with the new ILs than that of the commercially available fully formulated lubricant. It's expected that its excellent tribological properties are attributed to the affinity of the ILs to the metal surface and the strength of the ionic liquids interactions by hydrogen bonding. Thus, forming strong physical adsorption strategy, instead of forming chemical tribo-films, is recommended to enhance the lubricating performance of lubricants for DLC.
Calciphylaxis in Man (1976)

Eleven patients with chronic renal failure and presumed secondary hyperparathyroidism developed a syndrome of medial calcinosis of the arteries and painful ischemic ulcers of the fingers, legs, or thighs, or any combination of the three. Five patients required maintenance hemodialysis; six had functioning renal homografts. Severe hyperphosphatemia had existed in each; seven showed roentgenographic evidence of subperiosteal resorption. Similarities are evident between the lesions and experimentally produced calciphylaxis. The lesions demonstrated a relentless, progressive course, with serious morbidity and mortality. Hyperplastic or adenomatous parathyroid tissue was removed from ten of 11 patients undergoing surgical procedures; healing followed in seven patients. Treatment with phosphate-binding antacids to lower serum phosphorus levels may prevent this syndrome. Total or subtotal parathyroidectomy should be considered when ischemic skin lesions appear in uremic patients or in renal transplant recipients. (<i>Arch Intern Med</i>136:1273-1280, 1976)
Effect of testosterone on the mucosal defence against intestinal helminths in Indian soft‐furred rats, Millardia meltada with reference to goblet and mast cell responses (1995)

Effects of testosterone on the mucosal defence mechanisms against intestinal helminths were examined in Millardia meltada. When female M. meltada were treated with testosterone at the pharmacological dose, Nippostrongylus brasiliensis infection persisted for over seven weeks with prominent biphasic pattern of faecal egg production, whereas almost complete expulsion was observed by two weeks in untreated controls. In spite of a biphasic pattern of faecal egg production, the worm burden of testosterone-treated animals remained constant up to three weeks and then slowly decreased by seven weeks. To see whether or not this delayed expulsion in testosterone treated animals was due to altered cellular responses of the intestinal mucosa, goblet and mast cell responses were examined histologically. At two weeks post-infection, goblet cell responses at the infected site were significantly lower in testosterone-treated animals than in controls. In contrast mast cell hyperplasia was comparable between testosterone-treated and control animals. When Strongyloides venezuelensis, in which expulsion is dependent on mucosal mast cells, were infected concurrently with N. brasiliensis, testosterone-treated animals could expel S. venezuelensis worms by Day 18, but failed to expel N. brasiliensis. Histologically, mast cell hyperplasia was associated with expulsion of S. venezulensis, while goblet cell responses were suppressed. From these results, testosterone seems to suppress proliferation/function of goblet cells but does not affect mast cells of M. meltada.

Detection of binary Markov sources over channels with additive Markov noise (1996)

We consider maximum a posteriori (MAP) detection of a binary asymmetric Markov source transmitted over a binary Markov channel. The MAP detector observes a long (but finite) sequence of channel outputs and determines the most probable source sequence. In some cases, the MAP detector can be implemented by simple rules such as the "believe what you see" rule or the "guess zero (or one) regardless of what you see" rule. We provide necessary and sufficient conditions under which this is true. When these conditions are satisfied, the exact bit error probability of the sequence MAP detector can be determined. We examine in detail two special cases of the above source: (i) binary independent and identically distributed (i.i.d.) source and (ii) binary symmetric Markov source. In case (i), our simulations show that the performance of the MAP detector improves as the channel noise becomes more correlated. Furthermore, a comparison of the proposed system with a (substantially more complex) traditional tandem source-channel coding scheme portrays superior performance for the proposed scheme at relatively high channel bit error rates. In case (ii), analytical as well as simulation results show the existence of a "mismatch" between the source and the channel (the performance degrades as the channel noise becomes more correlated). This mismatch is reduced by the use of a simple rate-one convolutional encoder.

Konnatale Ptosis: Ein Kennzeichen für das Syndrom der multiplen Pterygien und für Arthrogryposen (1984)

Report on a 56-year-old female exhibiting features of the multiple pterygium syndrome, e.g., puffiness and ptosis of the upper lids, hypertelorism, pterygium of the metacarpophalangeal joints, hypomobility of joints, short stature, obviously inherited as an autosomal recessive trait. In differential diagnosis distal arthrogryposis has to be considered. It is not known whether the intravitreous hemorrhage from which this patient suffered is associated with the disorder.

Determination of Atom-Surface van der Waals Potentials from Transmission-Grating Diffraction Intensities (1999)

Molecular beams of rare gas atoms and ${\mathrm{D}}_{2}$ have been diffracted from 100-nm-period ${\mathrm{SiN}}_{x}$ transmission gratings. The relative intensities of the diffraction peaks out to the eighth order depend on the diffracting particle and are interpreted in terms of effective slit widths. These differences have been analyzed by a new theory which accounts for the long-range van der Waals ${\ensuremath{-}C}_{3}/{l}^{3}$ interaction of the particles with the walls of the grating bars. The values of the ${C}_{3}$ constant for two different gratings are in good agreement and the results exhibit the expected linear dependence on the dipole polarizability.

Manufacturing of an absorbing filter controlled by a broadband optical monitoring (2008)

This paper deals with a broadband optical monitoring set up useful for the manufacturing of absorbing coatings. The monitoring strategy consists in simultaneous measurements of transmittance and reflectance over a large spectral range. The resulting analysis allows then to determine the real time deposited thickness. A stage of design correction is possible after the deposition and analysis of each layer. This method has potential for thin metallic layers coatings. We then describe layer after layer the strategy for the control and manufacturing of a filter with given colorimetric properties.
Development of a PHC nursing information system in Korea. (1992)

WHO has established collaborating centres at educational institutions throughout the world to assist with WHO research. In 1988 a WHO Collaborating Centre was inaugurated at Yonsei University College of Nursing in Korea. Since then two important research projects have been completed for establishing a data bank of human resources of nursing for primary health care (PHC) in Korea. Both projects strengthen the PHC nursing information systems in Korea and, as such, are beginning to develop PHC networks throughout Korea, passing on information to an international network system. Below, the rationale behind the two projects, the methodology and the results.
Faculty Opinions recommendation of Evolutionary dynamics of Vibrio cholerae O1 following a single-source introduction to Haiti. (2013)

UNLABELLED: Prior to the epidemic that emerged in Haiti in October of 2010, cholera had not been documented in this country. After its introduction, a strain of Vibrio cholerae O1 spread rapidly throughout Haiti, where it caused over 600,000 cases of disease and >7,500 deaths in the first two years of the epidemic. We applied whole-genome sequencing to a temporal series of V. cholerae isolates from Haiti to gain insight into the mode and tempo of evolution in this isolated population of V. cholerae O1. Phylogenetic and Bayesian analyses supported the hypothesis that all isolates in the sample set diverged from a common ancestor within a time frame that is consistent with epidemiological observations. A pangenome analysis showed nearly homogeneous genomic content, with no evidence of gene acquisition among Haiti isolates. Nine nearly closed genomes assembled from continuous-long-read data showed evidence of genome rearrangements and supported the observation of no gene acquisition among isolates. Thus, intrinsic mutational processes can account for virtually all of the observed genetic polymorphism, with no demonstrable contribution from horizontal gene transfer (HGT). Consistent with this, the 12 Haiti isolates tested by laboratory HGT assays were severely impaired for transformation, although unlike previously characterized noncompetent V. cholerae isolates, each expressed hapR and possessed a functional quorum-sensing system. Continued monitoring of V. cholerae in Haiti will illuminate the processes influencing the origin and fate of genome variants, which will facilitate interpretation of genetic variation in future epidemics.IMPORTANCE: Vibrio cholerae is the cause of substantial morbidity and mortality worldwide, with over three million cases of disease each year. An understanding of the mode and rate of evolutionary change is critical for proper interpretation of genome sequence data and attribution of outbreak sources. The Haiti epidemic provides an unprecedented opportunity to study an isolated, single-source outbreak of Vibrio cholerae O1 over an established time frame. By using multiple approaches to assay genetic variation, we found no evidence that the Haiti strain has acquired any genes by horizontal gene transfer, an observation that led us to discover that it is also poorly transformable. We have found no evidence that environmental strains have played a role in the evolution of the outbreak strain.

Aging-related premature luteinization of granulosa cells is avoided by early oocyte retrieval (2015)

Why IVF pregnancy rates decline sharply after age 43 is unknown. In this study, we compared granulosa cell (GC) function in young oocyte donors (n=31, ages 21-29), middle-aged (n=64, ages 30-37) and older infertile patients (n=41, ages 43-47). Gene expressions related to gonadotropin activity, steroidogenesis, apoptosis and luteinization were examined by real-time PCR and western blot in GCs collected from follicular fluid. FSH receptor (FSHR), aromatase (CYP19A1) and 17β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (HSD17B) expression were found down regulated with advancing age, while LH receptor (LHCGR), P450scc (CYP11A1) and progesterone receptor (PGR) were up regulated. Upon in vitro culture, GCs were found to exhibit lower proliferation and increased apoptosis with aging. While FSH supplementation stimulated GCs growth and prevented luteinization in vitro. These observations demonstrate age-related functional declines in GCs, consistent with premature luteinization. To avoid premature luteinization in women above age 43, we advanced oocyte retrieval by administering human chorionic gonadotropin at maximal leading follicle size of 16 mm (routine 19-21 mm). Compared to normal cycles in women of similar age, earlier retrieved patients demonstrated only a marginal increase in oocyte prematurity, yet exhibited improved embryo numbers as well as quality and respectable clinical pregnancy rates. Premature follicular luteinization appears to contribute to rapidly declining IVF pregnancy chances after age 43, and can be avoided by earlier oocyte retrieval.

The lycopene β-cyclase plays a significant role in provitamin A biosynthesis in wheat endosperm (2015)

Our results suggest that TaLCYB is a genuine lycopene cyclase gene and plays a crucial role in β-carotene biosynthesis in wheat. Our attempt to silence it not only contributes to elucidating the mechanism of carotenoid accumulation in wheat but may also help in breeding wheat varieties with high provitamin A content through RNA interference (RNAi) to block specific carotenogenic genes in the wheat endosperm.
The prognostic significance of lymphopenia in peripheral T‐cell and natural killer/T‐cell lymphomas: A study of 826 cases from the International Peripheral T‐cell Lymphoma Project (2012)

Lymphopenia is a marker of inferior survival in patients with various malignancies. However, the prognostic significance of lymphopenia in peripheral T-cell lymphoma (PTCL) is unclear. We analyzed the prognostic significance of lymphopenia in 826 patients with different types of PTCL and natural killer/T-cell lymphoma (NKTCL) from the International Peripheral T-cell Lymphoma Project. Lymphopenia was defined as an absolute lymphocyte count of less than 1,000 cells per microliter. The overall frequency of lymphopenia was 35.3%, ranging from 21.1% in ALK(+) anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL) to 47.5% in angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma (AITL). Lymphopenia was independently associated with an inferior overall survival (OS) in patients with the lymphoma type of adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma (ATLL), with a 2-year OS of 15% versus 40% for those without lymphopenia (P < 0.001). Lymphopenia was also an adverse predictor of survival in PTCL, not otherwise specified, but was associated with other unfavorable prognostic factors. A trend toward inferior survival for lymphopenic patients was also observed in AITL, ALK(-) ALCL and extranasal NKTCL lymphoma, whereas no difference in survival was found in nasal NKTCL, ALK(+) ALCL, or enteropathy-associated T-cell lymphoma. In this study, lymphopenia was identified as a new adverse prognostic factor in the lymphoma type of ATLL.

Protease‐activated receptor 2 in dorsal root ganglion contributes to peripheral sensitization of bone cancer pain (2013)

These findings suggest that PAR2 may be a key mediator for peripheral sensitization of bone cancer pain. Inhibiting PAR2 activation, especially during the early phase, may be a new therapy for preventing/suppressing development of bone cancer pain.
Overacting Oblique Muscles in Exotropia: A Mechanical Explanation/Discussion (1988)

Patients with exotropia often show apparent overaction of the inferior and superior oblique muscles. Are the oblique muscles contracted, are they truly overacting overacting, or does the eye flip up or down in adduction from the leash effect of a contracted lateral rectus muscle? Theoretically, if the mechanical limits of ocular rotations were circular or elliptical, rather than square or rectangular, we would expect a patient with exotropia to develop a vertical deviation in extreme gaze into the oblique quadrants, for the abducting eye would reach the mechanical limit, while the adducting eye would still be free to move up or down, giving the appearance of both inferior and superior oblique overaction. The circular or elliptical limits of ocular rotations were documented with tracings from slow-motion video recordings. Also, reduction of pseudo-overation of the obliques in both eyes following unilateral surgery for exotropia was observed in three patients. The strabismus surgeon should be aware of this possible mechanism for pseudo-overaction of the obliques and should avoid muscle surgery in this clinical setting.
