Transmission line approach to transport of heat in chiral systems with dissipation (2022)

Measurements of the energy relaxation in the integer quantum Hall edge at filling factor $\ensuremath{\nu}=2$ suggest the breakdown of heat current quantization [H. le Sueur et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 105, 056803 (2010)]. It was shown in a hydrodynamic model that dissipative neutral modes contributing apparently less than a quantum of heat can be an explanation for the missing heat flux [A. Goremykina et al., arXiv:1908.01213]. This hydrodynamic model relies on the introduction of an artificial high-energy cutoff and lacks a way of a priori obtaining the correct definition of the heat flux. In this work we overcome these limitations and present a formalism, effectively modeling dissipation in the quantum Hall edge, proving the quantization of heat flux for all modes. We mapped the quantum Hall edge to a transmission line by analogy and used the Langevin equations and scattering theory to extract the heat current in the presence of dissipation.
Community-based intensive health management for type II diabetics (2014)

Objective
To discuss the effectiveness of community-based intensified health management on type Ⅱ diabetes patients.


Methods
From June 2010 to December 2011, 1 024 type Ⅱ diabetes patients in Mishi Lane community were enrolled and assigned to the intervention group (n=501, obtaining intensive health management) and the control group (n=523, obtaining routine community health management). Fastingbloodglucose (FBG), 2-hour postprandial blood glucose (PBG2h), HbA1c, blood pressure (BP), triglyceride (TG) and body mass index (BMI) were tested and recorded before and after the intervention. Student's t test or Chi-square test were used for data analysis.


Results
Differences of age (t=0.124, P>0.05) and gender (χ2=2.0, P>0.05) were not statistically significant (both P>0.05). Following the intensive health management, the control rates of HbA1c, BP, TG and BMI were increased to 75.4%, 30.4%, 85.6% and 49.0%, respectively (χ2 values were 4.54, 4.71, 6.54 and 3.67; all P<0.05). TG, FBG and PBG2h of the intervention group were (1.5±0.9), (6.2±1.3) and (8.3±2.4) mmol/L, respectively, which were significantly lower than those of the control group (all P<0.05).


Conclusion
Community-based intensive health management could be effective for diabetes patients.

Effect of Salt and Surfactant Concentration on the Structure of Polyacrylate Gel/Surfactant Complexes (2007)

Small-angle X-ray scattering was used to elucidate the structure of crosslinked polyacrylate gel/dodecyltrimethylammonium bromide complexes equilibrated in solutions of varying concentrations of surfactant and sodium bromide (NaBr). Samples were swollen with no ordering (micelle free), or they were collapsed with either several distinct peaks (cubic Pm3n) or one broad correlation peak (disordered micellar). The main factor determining the structure of the collapsed complexes was found to be the NaBr concentration, with the cubic structure existing up to approximately 150 mM NaBr and above which only the disordered micellar structure was found. Increasing the salt concentration decreases the polyion mediated attractive forces holding the micelles together causing swelling of the gel. At sufficiently high salt concentration the micelle-micelle distance in the gel becomes too large for the cubic structure to be retained, and it melts into a disordered micellar structure. As most samples were above the critical micelle concentration, the bulk of the surfactant was in the form of micelles in the solution and the surfactant concentration thereby had only a minor influence on the structure. However, in the region around 150 mM NaBr, increasing the surfactant concentration, at constant NaBr concentration, was found to change the structure from disordered micellar to ordered cubic and back to disordered again.
Effects of neurosteroids on kainate-induced seizures, neurotoxicity and lethality in mice. (1998)

In the present study we examined effects of some neurosteroids on the kainate-induced seizures, lethality and neurotoxicity in mice. We found that 5 alpha-pregnan-3 alpha-ol-20-one (allopregnanolone; 10 and 20 mg/kg) markedly elevated CD50 for kainate-induced convulsions, whereas 5 beta-pregnan-3 alpha-ol-20-one, 5 alpha-pregnan-3 alpha-ol-11,20-dione, 5 alpha-androstan-3 alpha-ol-17-one, dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate, pregnenolone sulfate and aminosteroid (U-107) were ineffective in that test. Furthermore, 5 alpha-pregnan-3 alpha-ol-20-one (5-20 mg/kg), 5 beta-pregnan-3 alpha-ol-20-one (20 mg/kg) and 5 alpha-androstan-3 alpha-ol 17-one (10 and 20 mg/kg) decreased, while dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (25 and 50 mg/kg) and pregnenolone sulfate (25 mg/kg) elevated the kainate-induced lethality in mice. A histological analysis showed that kainate caused a dose-dependent neuronal loss of CA1 and CA3 hippocampal fields. Of the neurosteroids tested, only allopregnanolone attenuated the kainate-induced neurotoxicity. The above data indicate that neurosteroids exert moderate effects on seizures and neurotoxic effects of kainate. On the other hand, neurosteroids with a GABAA receptor agonistic or antagonistic activity decrease or increase, respectively, the kainate-evoked lethality.
[Radiologic evaluation of effectiveness of physical training in patients with myocardial infarction]. (1995)

The findings of two-projection large-image fluorography of the thorax of 134 men aged 32 to 60 with a history of myocardial infarction are presented. Physical rehabilitation of these patients was either traditional (controls) or enhanced by physical training (test group). X-Ray characteristics of the pulmonary vascular bed help to detect left ventricular insufficiency even in cases when there are no clinical symptoms of it. Time course of X-ray and cardiometrical data helps not only to assess the efficacy of training, but permits detection of the progress of left ventricular insufficiency as well. Cardiometrical parameters (volume of the heart, left ventricular coefficient, hvs index, right-atrial coefficient) may be used to predict the course of coronary heart disease in the postinfarction period.
The Cytosolic Domain of Protein-tyrosine Kinase 7 (PTK7), Generated from Sequential Cleavage by a Disintegrin and Metalloprotease 17 (ADAM17) and γ-Secretase, Enhances Cell Proliferation and Migration in Colon Cancer Cells (2012)

Protein-tyrosine kinase 7 (PTK7) is a member of the defective receptor protein-tyrosine kinases and is known to function as a regulator of planar cell polarity during development. Its expression is up-regulated in some cancers including colon carcinomas. A 100-kDa fragment of PTK7 was detected in the culture media from colon cancer cells and HEK293 cells. The shed fragment was named sPTK7-Ig1-7 because its molecular mass was very similar to that of the entire extracellular domain of PTK7 that contains immunoglobulin-like loops 1 to 7 (Ig1-7). The shedding of sPTK7-Ig1-7 was enhanced by treatment with phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate. In addition to the sPTK7-Ig1-7 found in the culture medium, two C-terminal fragments of PTK7 were detected in the cell lysates: PTK7-CTF1, which includes a transmembrane segment and a cytoplasmic domain, and PTK7-CTF2, which lacks most of the transmembrane segment from PTK7-CTF1. Analysis of PTK7 processing in the presence of various protease inhibitors or after knockdown of potential proteases suggests that shedding of PTK7 into sPTK7-Ig1-7 and PTK7-CTF1 is catalyzed by ADAM17, and further cleavage of PTK7-CTF1 into PTK7-CTF2 is mediated by the γ-secretase complex. PTK7-CTF2 localizes to the nucleus and enhances proliferation, migration, and anchorage-independent colony formation. Our findings demonstrate a novel role for PTK7 in the tumorigenesis via generation of PTK7-CTF2 by sequential cleavage of ADAM17 and γ-secretase.
Pd(II)-Catalyzed Oxidative Homo-Coupling of Aryl-Metal Compounds Using Acrylate Dibromide Derivatives as Effective Oxidants (1997)

In the presence of acrylate dibromides, palladium(II)-complexes catalyze the oxidative homo-coupling of arylstannanes, areneboronic acids, and arylfluorosilanes to afford biaryls in good yields.
Physical outcome measurements via the Internet: Reliability at two Internet speeds (2002)

We have developed a software application to enable interactive rehabilitation via the Internet. The reliability of the telemedicine application was examined by comparing it with face-to-face assessment. The physical outcome measures assessed were knee range of motion, quadriceps muscle strength, limb girth and an assessment of gait. One therapist performed both in-person and Intemet-based measurements of all outcome measures on 20 normal subjects. There was good agreement between the two techniques (the 95% limits of agreement included zero for all the variables studied). Internet assessments were conducted at two bandwidths: ISDN at 128 kbit/s and the telephone network at 17 kbit/s. Bandwidth had no significant influence on any of the measures. This study suggests that Internet-based physiotherapy interventions delivered to the home are suitable for further development.
TCM diagnosis and treatment of 20 cases of elderly apathetic hyperthyroidism (2014)

Objective By combining literature research and analysis of clinical cases,we summed up the main pathogenesis of senile apathetic hyperthyroidism.It is closely related with geographical environment,imbalance of physical factors and emotional disorders.Methods SPSS 17.0 statistical software package was used to have analysis of cluster,frequency,the cause of disease and syndrome-classification.Results The TCM syndrome types are divided into these five types: deficiency Qi and Yin,blood stasis phlegm obstruction; kidney Yang deficiency,damp abundance due to spleen asthenia; deficiency of kidney; disharmony of the thoroughfare and controlling vessels; deficiency of Yin of both the heart and liver; stagnation of Qi and phlegm and blood stasis.Because the symptoms are not typical,they are often missed and misdiagnosed.With specific treatment,the symptoms can be controlled.Conclusion Doctors should identify the actual situation.Tonifying deficiency should be given priority.We should also attach importance to supplementing Qi,nourishing Yin and selecting different prescriptions on different locations of diseases.Strengthening targeted therapy combined with laboratory examination was used to have early diagnosis and prevention.
Methyl Jasmonate Induces Lauric Acid ω-Hydroxylase Activity and Accumulation of CYP94A1 Transcripts but Does Not Affect Epoxide Hydrolase Activities inVicia sativaSeedlings (1998)

Treatment of etiolated Vicia sativa seedlings by the plant hormone methyl jasmonate (MetJA) led to an increase of cytochrome P450 content. Seedlings that were treated for 48 h in a 1 mM solution of MetJA stimulated omega-hydroxylation of 12:0 (lauric acid) 14-fold compared with the control (153 versus 11 pmol min-1 mg-1 protein, respectively). Induction was dose dependent. The increase of activity (2.7-fold) was already detectable after 3 h of treatment. Activity increased as a function of time and reached a steady level after 24 h. Northern-blot analysis revealed that the transcripts coding for CYP94A1, a fatty acid omega-hydroxylase, had already accumulated after 1 h of exposure to MetJA and was maximal between 3 and 6 h. Under the same conditions, a study of the enzymatic hydrolysis of 9,10-epoxystearic acid showed that both microsomal and soluble epoxide hydrolase activities were not affected by MetJA treatment.
Catalytic and Regulatory Domains of Doublecortin Kinase-1 (2003)

Doublecortin kinase-1 (DCK1) is a newly described multidomain protein kinase with a sequence significantly similar to those of both CaM kinases (CaMKs) and doublecortin, the product of the gene mutated in X-linked lissencephaly/double cortex syndrome, a severe developmental disorder of the nervous system. Functional studies have revealed microtubule binding and polymerization activities of the doublecortin domain, yet little is known regarding the enzymatic properties and regulation of the kinase catalytic domain. We have identified and report here notable similarities as well as differences between the catalytic and regulatory properties of DCK1 and those of the CaMKs. Using synthetic peptide substrates modeled on synapsin I, a substrate recognition motif for DCK1 of Hyd-Arg-Arg-X-X-Ser/Thr-Hyd was derived. The similarity of this motif to that of CaMKI [Lee, J. C., Kwon, Y.-G., Lawrence, D. S., and Edelman, A. M. (1994) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 91, 6413-6417] is consistent with the 59% level of amino acid sequence similarity between their catalytic domains. DCK1 catalytic activity is enhanced by mutagenic introduction of negative charge at Thr-239, a residue in a position equivalent to that of Thr-177 of CaMKI, the activation loop site for regulation by CaM kinase kinase. Unlike CaMKs, DCK1 is not directly activated by Ca(2+)-bound CaM. However, truncation of a pseudosubstrate-like sequence in the C-terminus of DCK1 results in an approximately 6-fold enhancement of activity. Thus, DCK1 demonstrates the potential to be regulated by relief of autoinhibition in response to signal(s) distinct from Ca(2+)-bound CaM and potentially by activation loop phosphorylation and to phosphorylate intracellular targets at sites similar to those recognized by CaMK pathways.
506 Planarization of a layer made by using electric discharge machining (2002)

This paper describes a new method of surface modification by EDM to create a hard surface on a workpiece. When a metallic material that makes a hard carbide is used as an electrode in EDM, a hard layer can be made under certain conditions. The process begins with electrode wear by heat of EDM. Then the worn electrode material becomes a hard carbide. The carbide piles up on the workpiece and becomes a layer. A layer formed by two or more electrical discharges has the problem that the performance of the layer, its roughness and hardness, is not enough. In this paper, the relation between the gap width and layer performance is discussed in order to improve the layer performance. First, the results of experiments on single electrical discharge are shown. Then the results of this surface modification (EDC) is shown.
Co-electrodeposition of hard Ni-W/diamond nanocomposite coatings (2016)

Electroplated hard chrome coating is widely used as a wear resistant coating to prolong the life of mechanical components. However, the electroplating process generates hexavalent chromium ion which is known carcinogen. Hence, there is a major effort throughout the electroplating industry to replace hard chrome coating. Composite coating has been identified as suitable materials for replacement of hard chrome coating, while deposition coating prepared using traditional co-deposition techniques have relatively low particles content, but the content of particles incorporated into a coating may fundamentally affect its properties. In the present work, Ni-W/diamond composite coatings were prepared by sediment co-electrodeposition from Ni-W plating bath, containing suspended diamond particles. This study indicates that higher diamond contents could be successfully co-deposited and uniformly distributed in the Ni-W alloy matrix. The maximum hardness of Ni-W/diamond composite coatings is found to be 2249 ± 23 Hv due to the highest diamond content of 64 wt.%. The hardness could be further enhanced up to 2647 ± 25 Hv with heat treatment at 873 K for 1 h in Ar gas, which is comparable to hard chrome coatings. Moreover, the addition of diamond particles could significantly enhance the wear resistance of the coatings.
Modulation of class I and class II histocompatibility antigens on human T cell lines by IFN-gamma. (1988)

Abstract IFN-gamma is an immunomodulatory agent which is known to induce or enhance the expression of class II histocompatibility Ag (Ia Ag) on many lymphoid cells and cell lines of diverse origin. However, we have observed that IFN-gamma did not induce the expression of Ia Ag on Ia- human T cell lines. Neither did IFN-gamma enhance the expression of Ia Ag on Ia+ T cells. However, IFN-gamma was able to enhance the expression of class I histocompatibility Ag (HLA-A,B,C Ag) on a number of the T cell lines tested. Experiments with 125I-labeled IFN-gamma showed a relatively small degree of specific binding to these T cell lines. More extensive studies on two of the T cell lines demonstrated 1000 and 2600 IFN-gamma binding receptor sites/cell and binding affinities of 4.0 X 10(-10) M and 7.3 X 10(-10) M. Thus, although IFN-gamma can bind to human T cell lines and enhance class I histocompatibility Ag on these cells, IFN-gamma alone does not appear to regulate expression of class II histocompatibility Ag on T cell lines.
Anopheles Midgut FREP1 Mediates Plasmodium Invasion (2015)

Malaria transmission depends on sexual stage Plasmodium parasites successfully invading Anopheline mosquito midguts following a blood meal. However, the molecular mechanisms of Plasmodium invasion of mosquito midguts have not been fully elucidated. Previously, we showed that genetic polymorphisms in the fibrinogen-related protein 1 (FREP1) gene are significantly associated with Plasmodium falciparum infection in Anopheles gambiae, and FREP1 is important for Plasmodium berghei infection of mosquitoes. Here we identify that the FREP1 protein is secreted from the mosquito midgut epithelium and integrated as tetramers into the peritrophic matrix, a chitinous matrix formed inside the midgut lumen after a blood meal feeding. Moreover, we show that the FREP1 can directly bind Plasmodia sexual stage gametocytes and ookinetes. Notably, ablating FREP1 expression or targeting FREP1 with antibodies significantly decreases P. falciparum infection in mosquito midguts. Our data support that the mosquito-expressed FREP1 mediates mosquito midgut invasion by multiple species of Plasmodium parasites via anchoring ookinetes to the peritrophic matrix and enabling parasites to penetrate the peritrophic matrix and the epithelium. Thus, targeting FREP1 can limit malaria transmission.
Complete Power Reallocation for MU-MIMO under Per-Antenna Power Constraint (2021)

This paper proposes a beamforming method under a per-antenna power constraint (PAPC). Although many beamformer designs with the PAPC need to solve complex optimization problems, the proposed complete power reallocation (CPR) method can generate beamformers with excellent performance only with linear operations. CPR is designed to have a simple structure, making it highly flexible and practical. In this paper, three CPR variations considering algorithm convergence speed, sum-rate maximization, and robustness to channel uncertainty are developed. Simulation results verify that CPR and its variations satisfy their design criteria, and, hence, CPR can be readily utilized for various purposes.
A soft multi-axis force sensor (2012)

Thin, highly compliant sensing skins could provide valuable information for a host of grasping and locomotion tasks with minimal impact on the host system. We describe the design, fabrication and characterization of a novel soft multi-axis force sensor made of highly deformable materials. The sensor is capable of not only measuring normal force and but also 2D in-plane forces. This soft sensor is composed of an elastomer (modulus: 69 kPa) embedded with microchannels filled with conductive liquid. Depending on the intensity and the direction of an applied force, the cross-section of some of the channels will be compressed, changing its electrical resistance. The channel dimensions of the current prototype are 200 μm × 200 μm and the overall size of the sensor is 50 mm × 60 mm × 7 mm. Characterization results showed sensitivities in the two principal in-plane directions of 37.0 mV/N and -28.6 mV/N, respectively.
Evaluation of Genotoxic Effects of Xenobiotics in Fishes Using Comet Assay—A Review (2009)

Comet assay is a useful tool on the evaluation of DNA damage, and it can estimate the genetic risk followed by xenobiotic exposures. This technique has been extensively used to detect DNA lesions in a large number of tissues because its application requires viable cells that are not necessarily mitotically active. It has been recognized that the use of aquatic organisms as sentinels is of fundamental importance on environmental biomonitoring studies, and the DNA strand breaks in these organisms are fast and sensible indicators of pollutant exposure. Additionally, these bioassays detect single or associated toxic effects of these contaminants and reduce the influence of different environmental variability. The current literature presents a large number of in vitro and in vivo analyses using Comet Assay with fishes from Brazilian fauna; however, the use of endemic species is preferential considering the importance of standardization of the methodology that is employed to detect the DNA damage.
Accuracy aspects of stereo side-looking radar (1979)

The geometry of the radar stereo model and factors affecting visual radar stereo perception are reviewed. Limits to the vertical exaggeration factor of stereo radar are defined. Radar stereo model accuracies are analyzed with respect to coordinate errors caused by errors of radar sensor position and of range, and with respect to errors of coordinate differences, i.e., cross-track distances and height differences.
