Beyond IN and UPT-a personal communications support system based on TMN concepts (1997)

The vision for future telecommunications is often described by the slogan "information at any time, at any place, in any form", driven by both society's increasing demand for "universal connectivity" and the technological progress in the area of mobile computing and personal communications. In order to realize this vision, the emerging concept of personal communications support (PCS), which includes support for personal mobility, service personalization, and advanced service interoperability, is becoming increasingly important since it allows users to configure their communications environment in accordance with their individual needs, thereby providing them with controlled access to telecommunication services, regardless of their current location, terminal and network capabilities. This paper provides an overview of a personal communications support system (PCSS). The PCSS represents a platform providing advanced PCS capabilities in a uniform way to numerous communication applications in distributed multimedia environments. From a functional perspective, the PCSS provides enhanced intelligent network (IN) and universal personal telecommunication (UPT) capabilities with respect to user addressing (based on logical names instead of numbers) and advanced user control capabilities. From a design perspective, the centralistic IN/UPT approach to the realization of service logic has been replaced by a highly distributable, object-oriented approach based on X.500/X.700/telecommunications management network (TMN) concepts. This paper addresses the basic aspects of the PCSS, including design criteria, system architecture, supported applications, and evolution issues.

Abundance of mixed linkage glucan in mature tissues and secondary cell walls of grasses (2013)

(1,3; 1,4)-β-D-glucan, also known as mixed linkage glucan (MLG), is a polysaccharide that in flowering plants is unique to the cell walls of grasses and other related members of Poales. MLG is highly abundant in endosperm cell walls, where it is considered a storage carbohydrate. In vegetative tissues, MLG transiently accumulates in the primary cell walls of young, elongating organs. In evolutionary distant species such as Equisetum, MLG accumulates predominantly in old tissues in the stems. Similarly, we have recently shown that rice accumulates a large amount of MLG in mature stems, which prompted us to re-evaluate the hypothesis that MLG is solely related to growth in grass vegetative tissues. Here, we summarize data that confirms the presence of MLG in secondary cell walls and mature tissues in rice and other grasses. Along with these results, we discuss additional evidence indicating a broader role for MLG than previously considered.

Failures of 13-Valent Conjugated Pneumococcal Vaccine in Age-Appropriately Vaccinated Children 2–59 Months of Age, Spain (2020)

Vaccination with the 13-valent conjugated pneumococcal disease (PCV13) has reduced invasive pneumococcal disease (IPD), but there have been reports of vaccine failures. We performed a prospective study in children aged 2-59 months who received diagnoses of IPD during January 2012-June 2016 in 3 pediatric hospitals in Catalonia, Spain, a region with a PCV13 vaccination coverage of 63%. We analyzed patients who had been age-appropriately vaccinated but who developed IPD caused by PCV13 serotypes. We detected 24 vaccine failure cases. The serotypes involved were 3 (16 cases); 19A (5 cases); and 1, 6B, and 14 (1 case each). Cases were associated with children without underlying conditions, with complicated pneumonia (OR 6.65, 95% CI 1.91-23.21), and with diagnosis by PCR (OR 5.18, 95% CI 1.84-14.59). Vaccination coverage should be increased to reduce the circulation of vaccine serotypes. Continuous surveillance of cases of IPD using both culture and PCR to characterize vaccine failures is necessary.
White organic light-emitting diodes with top-emitting structure for high color quality and forward-directed light emission (2010)

In this contribution, we demonstrate white organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) with a top-emissive layer structure containing a cavity. Two highly efficient phosphorescent emitter materials ((Ir(MDQ) 2 (acac) and Ir(ppy) 3 ) are combined with the stable fluorescent emission system MADN:TBPe in a multilayer hybrid pin-OLED between two highly reflecting metal layers. Different materials for the anode mirror are tested to support the blue components from the arising mircrocavity, in order to optically balance the white emission spectrum and modify the color quality. We enhance the OLED performance by altering the electron blocking material and the transport layer thicknesses. Our devices exhibit
improved forward directed radiation, which is usually preferred for applications in lighting industries. We achieve luminous
efficacies up to 13.3 lm/W as well as external quantum efficiencies of 5.3% for 1000 cd/m 2 . An optimal p-/ntransport
layer ratio permits to reach even 17.9 lm/W and 6.3% at 500 cd/m 2 .The emission shows very good Commission Internationale d'Eclairage chromaticity coordinates (CIE 1931) (e.g. x, y=0.443, 0.413) near the warm white point A and color rendering indices up to 77.
The power spectrum in an experimental model of ventricular fibrillation. Effects of the vagal stimulation (2002)

The aim of this study was to characterize the initial and final stages of the ventricular fibrillation in an experimental model using rabbits through the use of the power spectrum. In these animals the ventricular fibrillation spontaneously revert to sinus rhythm most of the time and the underlying mechanisms still require further investigation. The induction of ventricular fibrillation was performed by electrical stimulation. To assess the influence of the atrial rate, the same measurements were obtained under vagal stimulation. The final stage of ventricular fibrillation was characterized by a decrease of the dominant frequency and the kurtosis, and an increase of the mean power, compared with the initial stage with and without vagal stimulation.
The Role of Haptics in Medical Training Simulators: A Survey of the State of the Art (2010)

This review paper discusses the role of haptics within virtual medical training applications, particularly, where it can be used to aid a practitioner to learn and practice a task. The review summarizes aspects to be considered in the deployment of haptics technologies in medical training. First, both force/torque and tactile feedback hardware solutions that are currently produced commercially and in academia are reviewed, followed by the available haptics-related software and then an in-depth analysis of medical training simulations that include haptic feedback. The review is summarized with scrutiny of emerging technologies and discusses future directions in the field.
Self-potentials of an electron ring in a torus for large ring displacement from the minor axis. Interim memorandum report (1984)

The electric self potential and the magnetic self vector potential were computed for a circular-cross-section electron ring inside a perfectly conducting toroidal chamber for large ring displacement from the minor axis of the torus. These potentials can provide valuable insight on the nonlinear dynamics of the intense electron rings.

Development of a Risk-Based Probabilistic Performance-Assessment Method for Long-Term Cover Systems - 2nd Edition (2002)

A probabilistic, risk-based performance-assessment methodology has been developed to assist designers, regulators, and stakeholders in the selection, design, and monitoring of long-term covers for contaminated subsurface sites. This report describes the method, the software tools that were developed, and an example that illustrates the probabilistic performance-assessment method using a repository site in Monticello, Utah. At the Monticello site, a long-term cover system is being used to isolate long-lived uranium mill tailings from the biosphere. Computer models were developed to simulate relevant features, events, and processes that include water flux through the cover, source-term release, vadose-zone transport, saturated-zone transport, gas transport, and exposure pathways. The component models were then integrated into a total-system performance-assessment model, and uncertainty distributions of important input parameters were constructed and sampled in a stochastic Monte Carlo analysis. Multiple realizations were simulated using the integrated model to produce cumulative distribution functions of the performance metrics, which were used to assess cover performance for both present- and long-term future conditions. Performance metrics for this study included the water percolation reaching the uranium mill tailings, radon gas flux at the surface, groundwater concentrations, and dose. Results from uncertainty analyses, sensitivity analyses, and alternative design comparisons are presented for each of the performance metrics. The benefits from this methodology include a quantification of uncertainty, the identification of parameters most important to performance (to prioritize site characterization and monitoring activities), and the ability to compare alternative designs using probabilistic evaluations of performance (for cost savings).

Oxygen fugacity was buffered by Ni + NiO. The fluid phase solute was analyzed for Si, Ti, Al, Fe, Mn, Mg, Ca, Na, K, Ba, and Sr.Total solute content ranges from 0.5 to 2 weight percent of the fluid. It is mostly composed of SiO2, Al2O3 and MgO; total iron is depleted compared to the starting material. The high ratios of Mg/Fe and Mg/Ca and the low total solute content appear to rule out gas transfer as a differentiation mechanism under conditions similar to those of this study. The low solubility of iron may explain magnetite deposits formed at diabase-limestone contacts. This content is PDF only. Please click on the PDF icon to access.

Antisecretory factor AF‐16 improves vascular access to a rat mammary tumour (2020)

Tumor tissue often has an insufficient nutritional supply, in part due to compression of the vascular network from an increased interstitial fluid pressure. We have shown that the antisecretory factor peptide AF-16 can reduce this pressure in experimental rat breast tumors. In this work we studied if AF-16 administration opened up to an increased vascular volume in these tumors. Sprague-Dawley rats were given dimethylbenxanthracene and developed mammary tumors which were studied. Evans Blue was used as an intravascular volume indicator. Under anesthesia the rats were given AF-16 or solvent intranasally, and Evans Blue was injected i.v. 45 min later. Tumors and various organs were dissected and Evans Blue was extracted and colorimetrically quantified. Tumors had a significantly higher vascular volume after AF-16 administration as compared to other organs. Liver and renal vascular volumes were also increased but to a lesser degree than in the tumors. The results indicate that AF16 could be a candidate for increasing vascular access for chemotherapy in cancer therapy.
In vivo spectrophotometric analysis of photosynthetic pigments in natural populations of phytoplankton (1985)

An in vivo spectrophotometric method has been developed for rapid measurement of photosynthetic pigments of estuarine phytoplankton. A specially designed spectrophotometer recorded the diffuse transmittance spectra of phytoplankton assemblages concentrated on glass‐fiber filters. Spectral curves stored in a digital computer as log(l/T) were transformed to second derivative of log(l/T) for correlation with data on concentrations of pigments in extract. Linear regression analyses were used to test for the optimum wavelengths for predicting pigment concentration. The derivative treatment with a single‐term linear regression program combined provided equations giving correlation coefficients of 0.966 for Chl a, 0.943 for Chl c, and 0.964 for carotenoids. The advantages of the new method over solvent extraction are that natural samples are processed rapidly with a high degree of precision, no extraction of pigments is needed, several pigments are determined at the same time, and errors due to pigment loss in extraction methods are minimized.

2318-PUB: Patient Experience after Using a Medtronic Enhanced Hybrid Closed-Loop System (2019)

Objective: The prototype enhanced hybrid closed-loop (E-HCL) system has iterative changes from the current HCL system that include automated correction boluses to address hyperglycemia and improved usability. User experience with this system was qualitatively assessed after a 1-week supervised hotel phase and 3-week at-home phase. Method: Twelve adults (median age 48 [39-57] years and HbA1c 6.8% [6.2-7.2%]) with type 1 diabetes were asked to complete a Medtronic-developed survey (5-point scale) after completing a hotel and at-home phase of E-HCL system use. In addition, they were interviewed for an hour after completing the study. Result: After completion of both phases, 100% of respondents rated the E-HCL system 5.0±0.0, the best therapy they have ever been on, all rated their overall satisfaction as extremely satisfied or very satisfied (4.8±0.4) with a net promoter score (NPS) of 100%. Reasons for high satisfaction were improved overall time in range, reduced highs after meals, increased time in Auto Mode, and reduced daily effort required to manage diabetes. All participants stated that they trusted the system to take care of their glucose and that it significantly increased their flexibility and confidence in taking care of their diabetes. Conclusion: All users reported a high level of satisfaction with the prototype E-HCL system and believed it improved their outcomes while reducing their day to day effort in managing diabetes.

Selective Formose Reaction under Microwave Irradiation (2022)

Abstract To realize sustainable societies, production of organic compounds, which is not based on fossil resources, should be developed. Thus, C1 chemistry, utilizing one-carbon compounds as starting materials, has been of increasing importance. In particular, formose reaction is promising because the reaction produces sugars (monosaccharides) from formaldehyde under basic conditions. On the other hand, since microwave (MW) induces the rotational motion of molecules, MW irradiation often improves the selectivity and efficiency of reactions. In this study, formose reaction under MW irradiation was thus investigated under various conditions. Formose reaction proceeded very fast and selectively using 1.0 mol kg − 1 formaldehyde and 55 mmol kg − 1 calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH) 2 ) as a catalyst at a high set temperature (150°C) for a short time (1 min). The major products, i.e., hexose and heptose, were isolated by thin layer chromatography and characterized by NMR and mass spectroscopy. These characterization data elucidated that the hexose and heptose were 2-hydroxymethyl-1,2,4,5-tetrahydroxy-3-pentanone (C6*) and 2,4-bis(hydroxymethyl)-1,2,4,5-tetrahydroxy-3-pentanone (C7*), respectively. On the basis of these observations as well as density functional theory calculations, a plausible reaction pathway was also discussed; Once 1,3-dihydroxyacetone is formed, consecutive aldol reactions favorably occur to form C6* and C7*. This study should provide significant insights not only for production of organic compounds not based on fossil resources but also for the sugar formation under prebiotic conditions.
An IoT gateway centric architecture to provide novel M2M services (2014)

This paper proposes an innovative Internet of Things (IoT) architecture that allows real time interaction between mobile clients and smart/legacy things (sensors and actuators) via a wireless gateway. The novel services provided are: (i) dynamic discovery of M2M device and endpoints by the clients, (ii) managing connection with non-smart things connected over modbus, (iii) associate metadata to sensor and actuator measurements using Sensor Markup Language (SenML) representation and (iv) extending the current capabilities of SenML to support actuator control from mobile clients. These clients are equipped with an end-user application that initiates the discovery phase to learn about the devices and endpoints (sensors and actuators) connected to the wireless gateway. Then the user can select desired sensors to receive and display sensor metadata and control actuators from the mobile device. Prototypes of the mobile application and the wireless gateway have been implemented to validate the entire architecture. The gateway is implemented using RESTful web services and currently runs in a Google App Engine. Two real life scenarios are discussed that can be implemented using the architecture. Finally overall contributions and future research scopes are summarized.

Bimetallic η6,η1NCN-Pincer Ruthenium Palladium Complexes with η6-RuCp Coordination: Synthesis, X-ray Structures, and Catalytic Properties (2009)

The synthesis, structure, and catalytic activity of a series of bimetallic η6,η1-NCN-pincer ruthenium palladium complexes, [3]+−[5]+, have been studied, in which η6-coordination of [Ru(C5R5)]+ (R = H or Me) is realized either directly to the central arene ring of the NCN-pincer palladium complex ([3]+ and [4]+) or to the para-phenyl substituent ([5]+). The X-ray structures of [4]+ and [5]+, as well as the regioselectivity observed in the synthesis of [5]+, provide clear evidence of intramolecular steric interactions in [4]+ between the amine arms of the pincer moiety and the methyl groups of the cyclopentadienyl ligand. Cyclovoltammetry data point to strong electronic interactions between the two metal fragments in [3]+ and [4]+ and only limited interactions in [5]+. Catalytic studies in the cross-coupling reaction between trans-phenylvinylboronic acid and vinyl epoxide show that the catalytic activity of the palladium center is enhanced by η6-coordination of the ruthenium fragment. These modifications of the catalytic activity of palladium are not correlated to the decreased electron density on palladium, as confirmed by DFT calculations. We hence propose a mechanism in which transmetalation is the rate-determining step.
miR-148a Promoted Cell Proliferation by Targeting p27 in Gastric Cancer Cells (2011)

Accumulating evidence has shown that miRNAs are aberrantly expressed in human gastric cancer and crucial to tumorigenesis. Herein, we identified the role of miR-148a in gastric cell proliferation. miR-148a knockdown inhibited cell proliferation in gastric cancer cell lines. Conversely, miR-148a overexpression promoted cell proliferation and cell cycle progression. p27, a key inhibitor of cell cycle, was verified as the target of miR-148a, indicating miR-148a might downregulate p27 expression to promote gastric cell proliferation. Moreover, we confirmed that miR-148a expression was frequently and dramatically downregulated in human advanced gastric cancer tissues, and observed a good inverse correlation between miR-148a and p27 expression in tumor samples. Thus, our results demonstrated that miR-148a downregulation might exert some sort of antagonistic function in cell proliferation, rather than promote cell proliferation in gastric cancer.
