Estudio de campos locales residuales mediante relaxometría magnética nuclear en el sistema rotante (2006)

ellos obtenidos mediante otros m´ Descriptores: Nemcampo local residual; relaxometrsistema rotante. We present advances on the study of a nuclear magnetic resonance technique in the rotating frame. The method, based on the spin-lock experiment, allows to get information on the residual local fields in molecular organized materials. The magnetization after a certain lock- time is studied as a function of the radio-frequency field atenuation. The obtained dispersion curve, within a frequency interval ranging from a few kHz to about 50 kHz, contains information about the residual local field along the external magnetic field. The interpretation of the results is consistent and comparable with those obtained by other methods.
A radiation-hardened star scanner for spacecraft guidance and control (1983)

A star scanner for the Galileo Project is described. Because it must function in the intense Jupiter radiation field, which consists primarily of high-energy electrons and protons, this star scanner is designed with radiation-hardness as a prime objective. The optics and the multiplier phototube are specially designed to minimize fluorescence and Cerenkov effects, and the electronic components to minimize ionization and displacement damage. The star-scanner layout provides maximum shielding for the optics and phototube. Test results predict successful operation in the expected Jovian radiation environment.
Single lens 3D-camera with extended depth-of-field (2012)

Placing a micro lens array in front of an image sensor transforms a normal camera into a single lens 3D camera, which also allows the user to change the focus and the point of view after a picture has been taken. While the concept of such <i>plenoptic cameras</i> is known since 1908, only recently the increased computing power of low-cost hardware and the advances in micro lens array production, have made the application of plenoptic cameras feasible. This text presents a detailed analysis of plenoptic cameras as well as introducing a new type of plenoptic camera with an extended depth of field and a maximal effective resolution of up to a quarter of the sensor resolution.
Continuous Gas Monitoring at the Unzen-Conduit-Drilling USDP-4 (2005)

Unzen Volcano, located in the Shimabara Peninsula, Kyushu, southwest Japan, was nominated as one of the Decade Volcanoes of the United Nation’s Decade of Natural Disaster Reduction, since it represents an important type of dangerous volcano. The last eruption (1990-95) was monitored and investigated in detail, yielding several models on the eruption mechanism and magmatic processes. The focus of USDP4 drilling was to further clarify the regional crustal structure and magma evolution processes that control the manner of growth and failure of the volcano. In addition, processes of conduit formation, magma degassing, and magma’s interaction with groundwater could have been investigated.
The Financial Performance of REITs Following Initial Public Offerings (1998)

This study examines changes in operating performance among real estate investment trusts following an initial public offering (IPO). The purpose is to determine whether there is an enhancement in the value of the underlying asset that is related to the IPO. We separately analyze equity, mortgage and diversified REITs. We also compare the operating performance of recent IPOs to those of earlier years to address the impact of the 1993 Revenue Reconciliation Act on institutional investors’ demand for REIT stock. Unlike previous analyses of industrial firms, REITs were found to have significant increases in Return on Assets and selected measures of financial performance. The post-IPO cumulative stock price decline and recovery is illustrated.

Spin pH and SH probes: enhancing functionality of EPR‐based techniques (2004)

Along with significant progress in low‐frequency electron spin resonance (ESR, also called electron paramagnetic resonance, EPR), other techniques such as Longitudinally‐Detected ESR (LODESR), proton electron double‐resonance imaging (PEDRI) and field‐cycled dynamic nuclear polarization (FC‐DNP) have been developed for in vivo applications. However their potential is still far from maximally defined, in part, because of the need for new specific function‐directed spin probes. An application of stable nitroxides of imidazoline and imidazolidine types provides unique possibility to measure local values of pH and thiol content in various biological systems, including in vivo studies. These applications are based on the observation of specific chemical reactions of these nitroxides with protons or thiols, followed by significant changes in their EPR spectra. To increase sensitivity of pH probes for low‐frequency EPR spectroscopy we evaluated two alternative approaches: (i) application of isotopically substituted labels, and (ii) acquisition of EPR spectra at high modulation amplitude. Spatial and spectral‐spatial imaging (pH‐mapping) using PEDRI and L‐band EPR imagers were performed both on phantom samples and in vivo . The applications of the pH and SH probes in model systems, biological fluids, and in vivo in living animals are discussed.

Formulation of a Method to Assess Capacity Enhancing Technologies (2003)

The demand for air travel is expanding beyond the capacity of existing airports and air traffic control. This excess traffic often results in delays and compromised safety. Therefore, a number of initiatives to improve airport capacity and throughput have been proposed. However, in order to assess the impact of these technologies on commercial air traffic one must move beyond the vehicle to a system-ofsystems point of view. This top-level perspective must include consideration of the aircraft, airports, air traffic management and airlines that make up the airspace system. In addition to the analysis of each of these components and their interactions, a thorough investigation of capacity and throughput technologies requires due consideration of other pressures such as economics, safety and government regulations. Furthermore, the air traffic system is inherently variable with constant changes in everything from fuel prices to the weather. Thus, the development of a modeling environment to be used in the evaluation of technological impacts while encompassing all these sources of uncertainty is the subject of this paper.
A Monte Carlo approach to the microdosimetric kinetic model to account for dose rate time structure effects in ion beam therapy with application in treatment planning simulations (2017)

The present study provides a framework for exploiting the temporal effects of dose delivery. The results show the possibility of optimizing the treatment outcomes accounting for the correlation between the specific dose rate time structure and the spatial characteristic of the LET distribution, depending on the ion type used.
Microporous Poly(tri(4-ethynylphenyl)amine) Networks: Synthesis, Properties, and Atomistic Simulation (2009)

Microporous poly(tri(4-ethynylphenyl)amine) networks were synthesized by palladium-catalyzed Sonogashira−Hagihara cross-coupling chemistry with apparent Brunauer−Emmet−Teller (BET) specific surface areas in the range 500−1100 m2/g. It was found that very fine synthetic control over physical properties such as BET surface area, Langmuir surface area, micropore surface area, micropore volume, and bulk density could be achieved by varying the average monomer strut length. The micropore structure and micropore surface area were rationalized by atomistic simulations for one network, NCMP-0, based on multiple physical characterization data.
Persistence of Escherichia coli in the soil of an organic mixed crop‐livestock farm that integrates sheep grazing within vegetable fields (2018)

Mixed crop-livestock farms (MCLF) integrate livestock and crops using their animals to graze crop residues and/or cover crops. MCLF are considered sustainable because grazing and the manure deposited by livestock enhance soil fertility and recycles farm nutrients. However, livestock manure may introduce enteric foodborne pathogens to the soil, which could contaminate fresh produce. Organic farmers in the United States follow the USDA National Organic Program (NOP) standards, which require 90 or 120 days between incorporating raw manure into the soil and harvest. Although not specifically addressed in NOP, organic farmers using grazing within production fields may also use this standard. The objectives of this study were to generate preharvest data to assess the die-off of generic Escherichia coli (E. coli) in the soil, after cover crops were grazed by sheep; and assess the genetic relatedness of generic E. coli isolates between soil and sheep faecal samples. We conducted a repeated observational study to evaluate the persistence of generic E. coli, as an indicator of faecal contamination and surrogate for STEC, in the soil of two fields (A and B) on an organic MCLF. Results showed a 3.70 log<sub>10</sub> reduction in mean generic E. coli concentration MPN in the soil of field A from the highest of 3.70 log<sub>10</sub> MPN/g on 48 day postsheep grazing (DPS) to -0.70 log<sub>10</sub> MPN/g on 139 DPS. Field B showed a 3.51 log<sub>10</sub> reduction in mean generic E. coli concentration in the soil from the highest mean of 3.51 log<sub>10</sub> MPN/g on 14 DPS to the lowest mean -0.35 log<sub>10</sub> MPN/g on 112 DPS. STEC prevalence in the sheep flock was 4.17% (1/24). Closely related generic E. coli strains were found between soil and faecal samples. Developing research-based waiting periods between grazing and harvest is important to inform best practices for farmers and food safety regulators.
Determination of Pesticides by Gas Chromatography Combined with Mass Spectrometry Using Femtosecond Lasers Emitting at 267, 400, and 800 nm as the Ionization Source (2018)

A standard sample mixture containing 51 pesticides was separated by gas chromatography (GC), and the constituents were identified by mass spectrometry (MS) using femtosecond lasers emitting at 267, 400, and 800 nm as the ionization source. A two-dimensional display of the GC/MS was successfully used for the determination of these compounds. A molecular ion was observed for 38 of the compounds at 267 nm and for 30 of the compounds at 800 nm, in contrast to 27 among 50 compounds when electron ionization was used. These results suggest that the ultraviolet laser is superior to the near-infrared laser for molecular weight determinations and for a more reliable analysis of these compounds. In order to study the conditions for optimal ionization, the experimental data were examined using the spectral properties (i.e., the excitation and ionization energies and absorption spectra for the neutral and ionized species) obtained by quantum chemical calculations. A few molecules remained unexplained by the currently reported rules, requiring additional rules for developing a full understanding of the femtosecond ionization process. The pesticides in the homogenized matrix obtained from kabosu ( citrus sphaerocarpa) were measured using lasers emitting at 267 and 800 nm. The pesticides were clearly separated and measured on the two-dimensional display, especially for the data measured at 267 nm, suggesting that this technique would have potential for use in the practical trace analysis of the pesticides in the environment.

108 A Novel Robotic-Assisted Platform for Spinal Decompression Procedures (2023)

INTRODUCTION: Removal of pathologic tissue during degenerative spinal surgery cases near a bone-nerve interface presents a challenge during spinal decompression, especially in minimally invasive procedures. Robotic systems for spinal surgeries can potentially offer greater accuracy than manual operations. However, today’s robotic systems are designed only for placement of fusion hardware and lack the ability to work in-situ and in proximity to neural structures. METHODS: In the proposed approach, the surgeon utilizes a 6-degrees-of-freedom joystick to control an industrial grade robotic arm connected to curved-at-the-tip high-speed, shielded drilling end-effectors to perform various bone removal tasks. Live visual feedback is displayed from top-view and endoscopic camera views. Force readouts, correlated to the force exerted on the end-effector through tissue contact, provide real time visual feedback. Additional safety restrictions are designed into the system to prevent excessive force. System orientation training was conducted on vertebral models. Initially, three spine surgeons used the system to perform ipsilateral decompression and foraminotomy in four surgeries in a live pig model. Next, six surgeons used the system to perform ipsilateral decompression on two human cadavers. All surgeons completed questionnaires assessing procedure efficacy and system usability. RESULTS: Animal studies: Required decompression was achieved in all cases, with no complications and minimum-to-moderate bleeding. Intuitive usability and acceptable kinematic range of motion of the robotic system was confirmed. Cadaver study: Questionnaire results demonstrated high scores of confidence in the technique (4.7/5), overall satisfaction (4.4/5) and achievement of adequate decompression (3.9/5). All neural structures remained intact. CONCLUSIONS: This preliminary data indicates that the proposed robotic system can facilitate safe and precise decompression through removal of sufficient tissue removal at the bone/nerve interface. Further studies with a medical grade robotic arm are planned.
Effect of glucocorticoids on serum osteocalcin concentration in horses (1995)

The effects of dexamethasone (0.2 mg/kg of body weight; IV, IM, and PO) and methylprednisolone acetate (120 mg given intra-articularly) on serum osteocalcin and cortisol concentrations were studied in 6 horses. Serum osteocalcin and cortisol concentrations were serially monitored after each treatment. A significant (P < 0.05) decrease in serum osteocalcin and cortisol concentrations was observed from 12 to 24 and 2 to 48 hours, respectively, after IV and IM administrations of dexamethasone. Serum osteocalcin and cortisol concentrations were significantly decreased from 6 to 48 and 3 to 72 hours, respectively, after oral administration. In contrast, a change in serum osteocalcin concentration was not detected after intra-articular administration of methylprednisolone. Oral, IV, or IM treatment with 0.2 mg of dexamethasone/kg caused a decrease in serum osteocalcin concentration in horses.
Direct Adaptive Control of Robotic Systems (1993)

This paper presents a new approach to adaptive motion control of an important class of robotic systems. The control schemes developed using this approach are very simple and computationally efficient since they do not require knowledge of either the mathematical model or the parameter values of the robotic system dynamics. All of the control strategies are globally stable in the presence of bounded disturbance, and in all cases the size of the tracking errors can be made arbitrarily small. The proposed controllers are very general and are implementable with a wide variety of robotic systems, including both open-and closed-kinematic-chain manipulators. Computer simulation results are given for a seven degree-of-freedom (DOF) Robotics Research Corporation Model K-1607 arm and a six DOF closed-chain parallel manipulator. These results demonstrate that accurate and robust trajectory tracking can be achieved by using the proposed schemes.
Rock Mass Erodibility (2016)

Erosion of rock masses by water typically involves unraveling of blocks of rock along existing defects in a manner that is not represented by analytical solutions for sediment transport or rockfill (rip-rap). A pragmatic approach to this complex problem is found by using a rock mass index to represent the erodibility of the rock-mass. The likelihood of erosion is then assessed by comparison against case studies in similar rock masses. A new independent data set of rock-mass erosion was gained from inspection of 26 unlined spillways in Australia, South Africa, and the United States. It was found that erosion can be usefully correlated against various published rock mass indices and hydraulic indices. A modified rock mass index, developed specifically to represent erodibility, is presented, and is applied to prepare a new comparative erosion assessment method for rock masses.
Neurovascular Compression in Cranial Nerve and Systemic Disease (1980)

As we age, our arteries elongate and our brains "sag." As a consequence of these processes, redundant arterial loops and bridging or intrinsic hindbrain veins may cause cross-compression of cranial nerve root entry zones in the cerebellopontine angle. This pulsatile compression can be seen to produce hyperactive dysfunction of the cranial nerve. Symptoms of trigeminal or glossopharyngeal neuralgia (somatic sensory), hemifacial spasm (somatic motor), tinnitus and vertigo (special sensory) and some cases of "essential" hypertension are caused by these vessels compressing cranial nerves V, IX--X, VII, VIII, and left X and medulla oblongata. Using microsurgical techniques, the symptoms may be relieved by vascular decompression, findings and results in 695 paients are briefly reviewed and correlated. A chronic primate model of "essential" hypertension is briefly described.
WithTeeth: Denture Preview in Augmented Reality (2018)

Dentures are prosthetic devices replacing missing or damaged teeth, often used for dental reconstruction. Dental reconstruction improves the functional state and aesthetic appearance of teeth. State-of-the-art methods used by dental technicians typically do not include the aesthetic analysis, which often leads to unsatisfactory results for patients. In this paper, we present a virtual mirror approach for a dental treatment preview in augmented reality. Different denture presets are visually evaluated and compared by switching them on the fly. Our main goals are to provide a virtual dental treatment preview to facilitate early feedback, and hence to build the confidence and trust of patients in the outcome. The workflow of our algorithm is as follows. First, the face is detected and 2D facial landmarks are extracted. Then, 3D pose estimation of upper and lower jaws is performed and high-quality 3D models of the upper and lower dentures are fitted. The fitting uses the occlusal plane angle as determined mnually by dental technicians. To provide a realistic impression of the virtual teeth, the dentures are rendered with motion blur. We demonstrate the robustness and visual quality of our approach by comparing the results of a webcam to a DSLR camera under natural, as well as controlled lighting conditions.
