LONG-TERM EFFECTS OF CHILDHOOD SEXUAL ASSAULT AMONG OLDER PEOPLE WITH HIV (2019)

Abstract Research finds high rates of childhood sexual assault (CSA) among people with HIV (PWH). CSA is related to depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, substance abuse, and poor health. PWH age 50 and older account for the majority of this population in the U.S., but we have little information on the impact of CSA on these older adults. Data were obtained from the San Francisco arm of the Research on Older Adults with HIV 2.0 study (n=197). Fifty percent reported CSA. Cisgender women and transgender people were more likely to report CSA compared to other groups. PWH reporting CSA were more likely to meet the diagnostic criteria for PTSD (42% vs. 27%), and had higher mean PHQ-9 depression scores (9.3 vs. 6.8). Those reporting CSA had significantly more comorbid health conditions compared to their peers. Implications for using a trauma-informed care model with older adults living with HIV will be discussed.
The Biology of Telomeres in Hypotrichous Ciliates (2013)

A population of eastern grey kangaroos (Macropus giganteus) inhabiting heathland and farmland surrounding an aluminum smelter at Portland, Victoria, Australia, exhibited clinical signs of lameness. An investigation was undertaken to determine the cause of this lameness. Hematology, necropsy, histopathology, fecal egg count, total worm count, reproductive status, and the population age range were examined and failed to reveal any additional underlying disease state. The specific problem of lameness was addressed with bone histopathology, radiography, quantitative ultrasonography, microradiography, and multielement analysis of bone ash samples. The significant lesions observed were: osteophytosis of the distal tibia and fibula, tarsal bones, metatarsus IV, and proximal coccygeal vertebrae; osteopenia of the femur, tibia, and metatarsus IV; incisor enamel hypoplasia; stained, uneven, and abnormal teeth wear; abnormal bone matrix mineralization and mottling; increased bone density; and elevated bone fluoride levels. Microradiography of affected kangaroos exhibited "black osteons," which are a known manifestation of fluorosis. Collectively, these lesions were consistent with a diagnosis of fluorosis.

Common Reflection Angle Migration (2002)

A-33 COMMON REFLECTION ANGLE MIGRATION Summary 1 We present a 2-D and 3-D ray-based migration/inversion approach for the construction of common image gathers (CIG) in the reflection angle domain. Amplitudes and phases of the reflected events are preserved for a wide range of angles even in complex areas with multi-arrivals. The method can be used for detailed velocity-model determination and for accurate amplitude variation with angle (AVA) analysis in such areas. Our method is a target-oriented approach based on shooting rays from the image points up to the surface. The method can also be applied as a model-based approach by
Large bipolarons and oxide superconductivity (2017)

Large-bipolaron superconductivity is plausible with carrier densities well below those of conventional metals. Bipolarons form when carriers self-trap in pairs. Coherently moving large-bipolarons require extremely large ratios of static to optical dielectric-constants. The mutual Coulomb repulsion of a planar large-bipolaron’s paired carriers drives it to a four-lobed shape. A phonon-mediated attraction among large-bipolarons propels their condensation into a liquid. This liquid’s excitations move slowly with a huge effective mass. Excitations’ concomitant weak scattering by phonons produces a moderate low-temperature dc resistivity that increases linearly with rising temperature. With falling temperature an energy gap opens between large-bipolarons’ excitations and those of their self-trapped electronic carriers.

Effects of glass transition on the dielectric breakdown and electrical conduction in several biodegradable polymers (2005)

Results of the conductivity and breakdown strength measured for several biodegradable polymers are reported. At room temperature, poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) and polyethylene terephthalate succinate (PETS) have relatively low conductivity values that are comparable to low density polyethylene (LDPE). However, when the fact that PLLA and PETS are in the glass state is taken into consideration, the conductivity values of PLLA and PETS should be considered to be relatively high. Moreover, PLLA and PETS show rapid increase in the conduction current around their glass transition temperatures. The other three biodegradable polymers that are in the rubber state at room temperature, namely /spl epsiv/-polycaprolactone butylene succinate (PCL-BS), polybutylene succinate (PBS), and polybutylene succinate adipate (PBSA), have much higher conductivities. Although the impulse breakdown strength is relatively similar in all the samples, PLLA and PETS have higher breakdown strengths in temperature regions around their glass transition temperatures. This apparently anomalous behavior is explainable by assuming that part of the energy supplied by the applied impulse voltage was consumed due to the glass transition. As for DC or AC breakdown strength at room temperature, PLLA and PETS show a relatively higher strength than PCL-BS and PBS.
Finite element modeling of electromagnetic wave interactions with periodic dielectric structures (1994)

A finite element formulation is presented for the modeling of electromagnetic wave interactions with dielectric structures which are periodic in one dimension in a cartesian coordinate system. The structures are two-dimensional, in the sense that the geometry and material properties remain invariant in one of the other two dimensions; however, they may vary arbitrarily in the third dimension. Fourier series expansions of the periodic permittivity function and Floquet's theory are used to reduce the problem into a system of coupled ordinary differential equations. The system is solved numerically using an efficient one-dimensional finite element method. Applications of the proposed method include plane wave diffraction by dielectric gratings as well as dispersion analysis of periodically segmented waveguides. Comparisons with results obtained using alternative methods are used to verify the proposed method and demonstrate its accuracy.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">&gt;</ETX>
Notice of Duplicate Publication (2007)

Upon close scrutiny of Figure 2 in the article by Webley and coworkers published in AJRCCM (1) and Figure 2 from the article by Cirino and coworkers published in BMC Infectious Diseases (2), we realized that the figure in BMC Infectious Diseases was a lower magnification of part of the same field as that used in the AJRCCM article. These figures both describe the growth of Chlamydia from clinical samples on the same tissue culture substrate (J774A.1 cells) and were in a single database of figures with different numeric designations. The experiments that led to the data for these two articles were generated around the same time and were compiled and stored in the same folder since pictures are taken in bulk at our microscopy facility where we pay a fee for the microscopy services. We believe that sometime during the compilation and annotation process, Figure 2 in the BMC Infectious Diseases article was incorrectly labeled as being generated from the normal donor project and was later used in that manuscript. In fact, this figure was taken from a culture coverslip that was infected with lysates from pediatric bronchial lavage samples. The AJRCCM figure was a 600 immunofluorescence image of a field on a coverslip, part of which can be seen in the lower magnification image (400 ) in the BMC Infectious Diseases article. The authors will supply the editor ofBMC Infectious Diseases with the appropriate representative culture image from normal donor infection of J774A.1 cells to replace the existing one. We deeply regret this error in image annotation and later image selection and hope that this will in no way detract from the important data contained in these two manuscripts.

Synthetic CT: simulating arbitrary low dose single and dual energy protocols (2011)

CT protocol selection (kVp, mAs, filtration) can greatly affect the dose delivered to a patient and the quality of the resulting images. While it is imperative to get diagnostic quality images from a study, the dose to the patient should be minimized. With synthetic CT, protocol optimization is made simple by simulating realistic scans of arbitrary low dose protocols from a previously acquired dual energy scan. For single energy protocols, the simulated projections have the same statistical properties as projections from an actual scan. The reconstruction of these synthesized projections then provides realistic images at a different protocol. For dual energy protocols, the material decomposition of the simulated protocol is directly synthesized. Moreover, the dose distribution from an arbitrary protocol (single or dual energy) can be found and used in conjunction with the predicted image quality for protocol design. We demonstrate single energy synthetic CT on a clinical study by synthesizing a 120 kVp image from a dual energy dataset. The synthesized image is compared to an actual 120 kVp image on the same patient, showing excellent agreement. We also describe a framework for implementing synthetic CT in software that is intuitive to use and allows radiologists to see the impact of protocol selection on image quality and dose distribution. A simple GUI demonstrates the vision for synthetic CT by allowing for the comparison of several dose reduction techniques: filtration, mA modulation, partial scan, or shielding. In particular, objects such as a breast shield can be simulated and virtually inserted as part of the original scan. In each case, the kVp and mAs can be adjusted while the synthesized image and dose profile are updated in real-time. With such software, synthetic CT can be applied as an educational and scientific tool for radiologists concerned with dose and image quality.
[The so-called dry skin of the diabetic patient]. (2005)

Rough skin or xerosis, known by the laity as dry skin, results from a defect in the stratum corneum desquamation which normally remains imperceptible. This condition is negatively influenced by winter climatic conditions. Atopic dermatitis and trophic changes related to post-menopause, ageing, diabetes mellitus, as well as other endrocrine and metabolic disturbances are also involved in this process. Xerosis can be improved at various degrees by emollients, humectants, hydrating agents and squamolytic agents.
40.5L: Late‐News Paper: TFT‐LCD with RGBW Color System (2003)

Abstract Although LCDs are widely used in power‐consumption critical applications, they are not very energy‐efficient. The largest absorber of light is the color filter. We developed a TFT‐LCD with four‐color subpixels: red, green, blue and white. The addition of the white subpixel greatly enhanced the light efficiency: up by 50%. The RGB‐to‐RGBW mapping algorithm was designed so that the hue and saturation remains unchanged from the original color. The result is a very bright display with color characteristic almost identical to RGB LCDs.
Interaction regions with increased low‐betas for a 2‐TeV Muon Collider (1996)

The difficulty encountered in designing an interaction region (IR) for a 2‐TeV Muon Collider lies in the extreme constraints placed on beam parameters at the point of collision. This paper examines a relaxation of the interaction‐point criterion insofar as it impacts luminosity, the design, and stability of the interaction region.
Coarse and Fine Tuning of the Electronic Energies of Triimineplatinum(II) Square-Planar Complexes (2006)

[Pt(tbtrpy)X]Y complexes (tbtrpy = 4,4',4' '-tBu3-2,2';6',2' '-terpyridine) exhibit charge-transfer absorption bands that can be drastically red-shifted to long-wavelength visible absorptions with arylthiolates as X. Further extension to the near-IR (NIR) region is achieved with 7,7,8,8-tetracyanoquinodimethane (TCNQ-) as Y-, resulting in black absorbers with continuous UV-vis-NIR absorptions and opening up potential applications in energy research.
The basis for camptothecin enhancement of DNA breakage by eukaryotic topoisomerase I (1989)

The eukaryotic topoisomerase I (topo I) is the target of the cytotoxic alkaloid camptothecin (CTT). In vitro, CTT enhances the breakage of DNA by topo I when the reaction is stopped with detergent. Although breakage at some sites is enhanced to a great extent while breakage at others is enhanced only minimally, CTT does not significantly change the breakage specificity of topo I in vitro. It has been suggested that CTT acts by slowing the reclosure step of the nicking-closing reaction. To test this hypothesis, we have measured the rate of reclosure for different break sites in the presence of CTT after adding 0.5 M NaCl to a standard low salt reaction. In support of the hypothesis, we find that topo I-mediated DNA breakage is enhanced the greatest at those sites where closure of the break is the slowest. These results suggest a mechanism for the toxicity of CTT in vivo.
Room temperature active regenerative magnetic refrigeration: Magnetic nanocomposites (2003)

Nanocomposites have several advantages as a refrigerant for 100–300 K applications compared to the other common methods of assembling a magnetic refrigeration bed, such as a layered thermal bed, or mixing of different magnetic materials. This article discusses the thermodynamics and heat transfer analysis of an ideal and real active magnetic regenerative refrigeration cycle. An algorithm for the choice of optimum parameters is derived.
Modeling and Dispersion Analysis of Coaxial Lines With Higher Symmetries (2018)

In this paper, 1-D periodic structures possessing higher symmetries are proposed and investigated in terms of their dispersion properties. The proposed structures are coaxial lines with coaxial rings periodically loaded on their inner or outer conductors. The higher symmetries, namely, glide and twist symmetries, are obtained by performing an additional geometrical operation within the unit cell of the periodic structure. We demonstrate that the propagating modes exhibit a lower frequency dispersion in higher symmetric coaxial lines. Moreover, the conventional stopbands of periodic structures at their Brillouin zone boundaries can be controlled by breaking the higher symmetry or changing the order of the twist symmetry. A circuit-based analytical method is proposed to calculate the dispersion diagram of the glide-symmetric coaxial lines. The results are validated with a full-wave simulation. Moreover, several prototypes of the twist-symmetric coaxial lines are manufactured and measured. A remarkable agreement is achieved between the measurements and simulations, validating the theoretical results. The proposed structures find potential applications in leaky-wave antennas and fully metallic reconfigurable filters and phase shifters.
Retrolabyrinthine Vestibular Nerve Section: A Viable Alternative to the Middle Fossa Approach (1984)

Vestibular nerve section, whether by the middle fossa or retrolabyrinthine approach, is effective in relieving intractable vertigo while preserving hearing. However, the potential morbidity and technical difficulty of the middle fossa approach have limited its usefulness. In an attempt to determine if the two approaches produce comparable results, we evaluated 52 patients who underwent retrolabyrinthine vestibular neurectomy between April 1981 and March 1983 at the Otologic Medical Group. We compared their audiometric data and questionnaire responses with published data on patients who had a middle fossa vestibular neurectomy. Although differences between the two procedures do exist, the retrolabyrinthine method, with its 93% success rate in improving or resolving vertigo and its zero incidence of total sensorineural hearing loss, offers the surgeon a strong alternative to the middle fossa approach.
Drop impact onto semi-infinite solid surfaces with different wettabilities (2019)

An experimental study finds that when a drop impacts close to the edge of a surface, part of the lamella spreads out of the surface. Depending on the normalized distance to the edge, the free lamella can either recede back onto the surface, or completely break off at the surface edge.
The argon–diacetylene complex: An example of distributed interactions and transferable potentials (1996)

The first spectroscopic study of the argon–diacetylene complex is reported here. The rotationally resolved near infrared spectrum has been analyzed in terms of a conventional asymmetric rotor Hamiltonian, yielding a set of ground and vibrationally excited state rotational constants consistent with a ‘‘T-shaped’’ geometry, similar to that of Ar–C2H2. Using distributed potential parameters determined previously for the Ar–C2H2 system we have developed an empirical potential for Ar–C4H2. A ground state calculation using this potential and the collocation method gives a vibrationally averaged structure in good agreement with experiment. A tentative assignment is also made for the band origins of the Ar2, Ar3–diacetylene complexes.

Endotoxin-Free E. coli-Based Cell-Free Protein Synthesis: Pre-Expression Endotoxin Removal Approaches for on-Demand Cancer Therapeutic Production (2018)

Approximately one third of protein therapeutics are produced in Escherichia coli, targeting a wide variety of diseases. However, due to immune recognition of endotoxin (a lipid component in the E. coli cell membrane), these protein products must be extensively purified before application to avoid adverse reactions such as septic shock. E. coli-based cell-free protein synthesis (CFPS), which has emerged as a promising platform for the development and production of enhanced protein therapeutics, provides a unique opportunity to remove endotoxins prior to protein expression due to its open environment and the absence of live cells. Pre-expression endotoxin removal from CFPS reagents could simplify downstream processing, potentially enabling on-demand production of unique protein therapeutics. Herein, three strategies for removing endotoxins from E. coli cell lysate are evaluated: Triton X-114 two-phase extraction, polylysine affinity chromatography, and extract preparation from genetically engineered, endotoxin-free ClearColi cells. It is demonstrated that current protocols for endotoxin removal treatments insufficiently reduce endotoxin and significantly reduce protein synthesis yields. Further, the first adaptation of ClearColi cells to prepare cell-free extract with high protein synthesis capability is demonstrated. Finally, production of the acute lymphoblastic leukemia therapeutic crisantaspase from reduced-endotoxin extract and endotoxin-free ClearColi extract is demonstrated.

A Novel Oligonucleotide Probe for the Detection of Newcastle Disease Virus (1992)

An approach that possesses high specificity and broad applicability was used to obtain a DNA probe with potential diagnostic value. By utilizing synthesized oligonucleotide DNA, termed NDV probe, all 14 strains of NDV tested under high-stringency conditions were recognized in a slot-blot hybridization assay. The sequence of the NDV probe was generated from a highly conserved region of the NDV genome. No hybridization was observed with RNA isolated from other avian viruses, including avian influenza, infectious bursal disease, and infectious bronchitis. The specificity inherent in using an oligonucleotide probe offers advantages over probes obtained from cloned DNA fragments.
Influence of staple line number and configuration on the leakage of small intestinal functional end‐to‐end stapled anastomosis: An ex vivo study (2022)

The addition of a third row of staples in the transverse line (with or without a third row in the vertical staple line) in FEESAs should be further investigated as a strategy to reduce intestinal leakage clinically.
