Racial Differences in the Use of Adjuvant Chemotherapy for Breast Cancer in a Large Urban Integrated Health System (2012)

Background. Racial differences in breast cancer survival may be in part due to variation in patterns of care. To better understand factors influencing survival disparities, we evaluated patterns of receipt of adjuvant chemotherapy among 2,234 women with invasive, nonmetastatic breast cancer treated at the Henry Ford Health System (HFHS) from 1996 through 2005. Methods. Sociodemographic and clinical information were obtained from linked datasets from the HFHS, Metropolitan Detroit Cancer Surveillance Systems, and U.S. Census. Comorbidity was measured using the Charlson comorbidity index (CCI), and economic deprivation was categorized using a neighborhood deprivation index. Results. African American (AA) women were more likely than whites to have advanced tumors with more aggressive clinical features, to have more comorbidity and to be socioeconomically deprived. While in the unadjusted model, AAs were more likely to receive chemotherapy (odds ratio (OR) 1.22, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.02-1.46) and to have a delay in receipt of chemotherapy beyond 60 days (OR 1.68, 95% CI, 1.26-1.48), after multivariable adjustment there were no racial differences in receipt (odds ratio (OR) 1.02, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.73-1.43), or timing of chemotherapy (OR 1.18, 95 CI, 0.8-1.74). Conclusions. Societal factors and not race appear to have an impact on treatment delay among African American women with early breast cancer.
Assembly of Biological Nanostructures: Isotropic and Liquid Crystalline Phases of Neurofilament Hydrogels (2015)

Neurofilaments are the building blocks of the major cytoskeletal network found in the axons of vertebrate neurons. The filaments consist of three distinct molecular-weight subunits—neurofilament-low, neurofilament-medium, and neurofilament-high—which coassemble into 10-nm flexible rods with protruding intrinsically disordered C-terminal sidearms that mediate interfilament interactions and hydrogel formation. Molecular neuroscience research includes areas focused on elucidating the functions of each subunit in network formation, during which disruptions are a hallmark of motor-neuron diseases. Here, modern concepts and methods from soft condensed matter physics are combined to address the role of subunits as it relates to interfilament forces and phase behavior in neurofilament networks. Significantly, the phase behavior studies reveal that although neurofilament-medium subunits promote nematic liquid crystal hydrogel phase stability with parallel filament orientation, neurofilament-high subunits stabilize the hydrogel in the nematic phase close to the isotropic gel phase with random, crossed-filament orientation. This indicates a regulatory role for neurofilament-high subunits in filament orientational plasticity required for organelle (e.g., membrane-bound vesicle or mitochondrion) transport along microtubules embedded in neurofilament hydrogels. Future studies—for example, on neurofilament subunits mixed with tubulin and microtubule-associated proteins—should lead to a deeper understanding of forces and heterogeneous structures in neuronal cytoskeletons.
Irrigación intravesical continua con amikacina como tratamiento adyuvante en la cistitis enfisematosa (2007)

OBJECTIVE: To demonstrate that continuos intravesical irrigation with amikacin is an efective adyuvant treatment in Emphisematous Cistitis therapy. METHODS: A 3 way transurethral Foley catheter was placed and a continuous intravesical irrigation was initiated with amikacin 500mg in 1L of normal saline (500 mi- crograms per ml) within 6 hours 4 times a day and three consecutive days. RESULTS: After 3 days of treatment the patient showed sig- niﬁcant clinical response. A new CT scan showed the absence of gas in the bladder wall compared to the previews CT and negative urine culture was obtained. CONCLUSIONS: We established that treatment using adjuvant continuous intravesical irrigation with amikacin can reduce hospital stay and accelerate the patient’s healing process, as well as an earlier negativisation of urine cultures. A comparative prospective study is needed to evaluate if in fact this treatment variant produces a real beneﬁt com- pared to conventional therapy.
Catalytic Advances in the Production and Application of Biomass-Derived 2,5-Dihydroxymethylfuran (2018)

In recent years, 2,5-dihydroxymethylfuran (DHMF), which can be produced by the selective hydrogenation of biomass-derived 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF), has attracted great attention and interest of many scientists because of its peculiar symmetrical structure and wide potential applications. At present, studies of the production of DHMF are quickly progressing, with productive approaches being increasingly developed, and many crucial achievements have been continually obtained. However, to date, a special and real-time review of this research area is still lacking. To gain more insight into the current research situation, this review comprehensively summarizes and discusses state-of-the-art advancements of the production of DHMF from HMF via various chemocatalytic pathways, such as conventional hydrogenation, transfer hydrogenation, electrocatalytic hydrogenation, photocatalytic hydrogenation, disproportionation reaction, and biocatalytic pathways. Meanwhile, this review also systematically outlines the latest results on the further transformation of DHMF into value-added derivatives via etherification, polymerization, and rearrangement.
Using dynamic compilation for continuing execution under reduced memory availability (2009)

This paper explores the use of dynamic compilation for continuing execution even if one or more of the memory banks used by an application become temporarily unavailable (but their contents are preserved), that is, the number of memory banks available to the application varies at runtime. We implemented the proposed dynamic compilation approach using a code instrumentation system and performed experiments with 12 embedded benchmark codes. The results collected so far are very encouraging and indicate that, even when all the overheads incurred by dynamic compilation are included, the proposed approach still brings significant benefits over an alternate approach that suspends application execution when there is a reduction in memory bank availability and resumes later when all the banks are up and running.
Track edge phenomena in thin film longitudinal media (1989)

Isolated transitions recorded with a thin-film inductive head on thin-film isotropic media and read with a magnetoresistive sensor can exhibit waveform distortions characterized by a shift of the base line between readback pulses. The amount of the base-line shift (BLS) increases with increasing write current, decreasing trackwidth, and decreasing medium coercivity. The source of the BLS is shown experimentally to be localized at track edges. A model based on the creation of magnetic dipoles along each edge of the data track is proposed to explain the observed waveform deformation. The width of the dipole distribution is estimated by deconvolving a measured BLS track profile with a measured readback-sensitivity track profile. Calculated BLS profiles based on this dipole model agree well with the experimental observation.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>
Fiber orientation and its effect upon thermoelastic properties of short carbon fiber reinforced poly(etheretherketone) (PEEK) (1987)

Abstract Experimental and analytical techniques are employed in the present study to investigate the influence of microstructure on thermoelastic properties of short carbon fiber reinforced poly(etheretherketone). The test specimen geometry is an edge gated, injection molded dogbone tensile bar. Typical of injection molded structures, three distinct layers of fiber orientation were discernable through the sample thickness. The thermoelastic properties of the surface layer (machined from the specimen) are measured for direct correlation with a micromechanics model. In addition to measuring the volume fractions and constituent properties, microstructural features such as fiber aspect ratio and the process‐induced fiber orientation distribution are quantified. Correlation of experimental data with micromechanics model predictions is found to be quite good.
Cooperative localization in GNSS-aided VANETs with accurate IR-UWB range measurements (2016)

Cooperative positioning based on Impulse Radio — Ultra WideBand (IR-UWB) is known to provide a centimeter-level accuracy when the positions of anchor nodes are perfectly known. In Vehicular Ad-Hoc Networks (VANETs), vehicles acting as “virtual anchor” nodes are highly mobile with imperfect position estimates delivered by the Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS). The large difference between measurement noises of GNSS positioning and IR-UWB Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V) ranging creates a bias in the localization filter, which is cooperatively propagated to other to other vehicles, and therefore significantly attenuates the benefits of IR-UWB for Cooperative Localization (CLoc). This paper compensates this drawback by a novel 2-step CLoc fusion framework. It first selects the “virtual anchor” nodes with the lowest GNSS position uncertainty to mitigate and stop the propagation of the biases. Once all biases have been reduced, it refines localization accuracy through exhaustive fusion. This strategy increases the probability to reach a 40 cm accuracy from 25% (conventional IR-UWB) to 95%, and even a 20 cm accuracy from 5% to 40%.
Hip Dysplasia in the Young Adult (2016)

Hip dysplasia is a leading precursor of osteoarthritis and is seen in 20% to 40% of patients with osteoarthritis of the hip. An increase in mechanical stress on the cartilage matrix with failure of the acetabular labrum represents the major pathomechanism of degeneration. Because the prevalence of associated femoral deformities is high (>50%), the structural anatomy of the dysplastic hip must be assessed in multiple planes using radiographs and, if needed, advanced imaging modalities. Acetabular osteotomy (periacetabular and/or rotational) is the most commonly used procedure for the treatment of the majority of dysplastic hips in adults. Modern total hip replacement remains an excellent option for the more arthritic joints. Difficulties can arise from anatomical abnormalities and previous operations.
Markov Chain Modeling for Anomaly Detection in High Performance Computing System Logs (2017)

As high performance computing approaches the exascale era, analyzing the massive amount of monitoring data generated by supercomputers is quickly becoming intractable for human analysts. In particular, system logs, which are a crucial source of information regarding machine health and root cause analysis of problems and failures, are becoming far too large for a human to review by hand. We take a step toward mitigating this problem through mathematical modeling of textual system log data in order to automatically capture normal behavior and identify anomalous and potentially interesting log messages. We learn a Markov chain model from average case system logs and use it to generate synthetic system log data. We present a variety of evaluation metrics for scoring similarity between the synthetic logs and the real logs, thus defining and quantifying normal behavior. Then, we explore the abilities of this learned model to identify anomalous behavior by evaluating its ability to catch inserted and missing log messages. We evaluate our model and its performance on the anomaly detection task using a large set of system log files from two institutional computing clusters at Los Alamos National Laboratory. We find that while our model seems to pick up on key features of normal behavior, its ability to detect anomalies varies greatly by anomaly type and the training and test data used. Overall, we find mathematical modeling of system logs to be a promising area for further work, particularly with the goal of aiding human operators in troubleshooting tasks.
Urgent Bypass Surgery Following Failed Endovascular Treatment in Acute Symptomatic Stroke Patient With MCA Occlusion (2016)

Following failed endovascular treatment in patients with acute symptoms attributed to major cerebral artery occlusion, we recommend immediate multimodal neuroimaging. If there are clinical-DWI and DWI-perfusion-weighted imaging mismatch indications, surgical revascularization could be considered as the next salvageable strategy.
Numerical Simulation of Backgating Suppression in High Electron Mobility Transistors (HEMTs) with a Low Temperature Molecular Beam Epitaxy (MBE)-Grown Gallium Arsenide Buffer Layer between the Substrate and Active Layers (1994)

Numerical simulations were carried out for a high electron mobility transistor (HEMT) in which the active device was separated from the hole-trap-rich substrate by a gallium arsenide buffer layer, grown by molecular beam epitaxy at low temperature, which contains the EL3 electron trap. The results show, for the first time, that the interface between the substrate and the buffer layer behaves like a reverse biased p-n junction when a negative backgate voltage is applied. By sustaining the backgate voltage across it, this junction effectively isolates the active channel of the HEMT from the substrate bias and thus eliminates backgating in the device.
Elastic band based pedestrian collision avoidance using V2X communication (2017)

This paper is on a pedestrian collision warning and avoidance system for road vehicles based on V2X communication. In cases where the presence and location of a pedestrian or group of pedestrians cannot be determined using line-of-sight sensors like camera, radar and lidar, signals from pedestrians' smartphone apps are used to detect and localize them relative to the road vehicle through the DSRC radio used for V2X communication. A hardware-in-the-loop setup using a validated automated driving vehicle model in the high fidelity vehicle dynamics simulation program Carsim Real Time with Sensors and Traffic is used along with two DSRC modems emulating the vehicle and pedestrian communications in the development and initial experimental testing of this method. The vehicle either stops or, if possible, goes around the pedestrians in a socially acceptable manner. The elastic band method is used to locally modify the vehicle trajectory in real time when pedestrians are detected on the nearby path of the vehicle. The effectiveness of the proposed method is demonstrated using hardware-in-the-loop simulations.
Malawi economic monitor : absorbing shocks, building resilience (2016)

This report consists of two parts: Part 1 presents a review of recent economic developments and a macroeconomic outlook. Part 2 focuses in greater depth on a special, selected topic relevant to Malawi's development prospects. This report focuses on agricultural risk management. Malawi is now set to suffer a second year of poor harvests due to the effects of a drought that is sweeping Southern Africa. This drought has had a serious impact both on the economy and on food security, requiring a major humanitarian response. The current situation underscores Malawi's serious need to improve the resilience of the agricultural sector and to develop a better system of risk management. With the country expected to continue to face climate-induced shocks into the future, it is vital that the Government considers how best to mitigate the impact of such shocks. In 2015 Malawi recorded a GDP growth rate of just 2.8 percent, with this low rate the result of both adverse weather conditions and macroeconomic instability. Flooding in southern districts followed by a countrywide drought resulted in a contraction in agricultural production. Maize, the key crop in terms of food security, recorded a 30.2 percent year-on-year drop in production. As a result, an estimated 2.8 million people (17 percent of the population) were unable to meet their 2015/16 food requirements.
No passwords needed (2017)

Even though the vast majority of children are online, our exploration of the user authentication literature and available tools revealed few alternatives specifically for authenticating children. We create an authentication mechanism that reduces the password burden for children and adds customizable parental oversight to increase security. With Bluink, our industry partner, we iteratively designed and user tested three parent-child prototypes, with each iteration addressing issues raised in the previous iteration. Our final design is a parent-child authentication mechanism based on OpenID and FIDO U2F which allows children to log in to websites without requiring a password and enables parents using their mobile device to remotely determine whether a login request should be granted.
ROBBINS AND COTRAN PATHOLOGIC BASIS OF DISEASE, 7TH EDITION (2005)

ROBBINS AND COTRAN PATHOLOGIC BASIS OF DISEASE, 7TH EDITION Editors: Vinay Kumar, MBBS, MD, FRCPath; Abul K. Abbas, MBBS; Nelson Fausto, MD Bibliographic Data: Elsevier, 2005. Imprint: W.B. Saunders Company. ISBN: 0-7216-0187-1, 1525 pp, hard cover, $99.00. Reviewer's Expert Opinion: Description: This 7th edition of the well-known textbook of pathology for medical students has been extensively revised and updated. Purpose: This book was designed to provide students of medicine with a comprehensive textbook. Most students will buy it at the beginning of their sophomore year but will keep it on their shelves as a reference to which they will return later during their clinical studies. Most students will keep it as their primary source of pathology data for the rest of their professional life. The authors have masterfully met their objectives and have produced a modern textbook of pathology. Audience: Although prepared primarily for medical students, this book will be used by residents in pathology as well. It is a must for all teachers of pathology and basic medical sciences and also should be on the library shelves reserved for the key textbooks. This edition has three editors, two of whom are new, replacing the founding editor, Dr. Robbins, and the previous lead editor, Dr. Cotran. All three editors have impeccable credentials as educators, scientists, and medical writers/editors. Features: The book covers all major aspects of general and systemic pathology. The emphasis is on pathophysiology and clinical-pathologic correlations, but the morphologic aspects of pathology are also illustrated in more than sufficient detail with excellent color illustrations and conceptual drawings. The new editors have recruited several new contributors; thus the textbook that began in late 1950s as a single-author work has become truly multiauthored. However, since it was skillfully and meticulously edited, it reads as if it were still a single-authored text. I have not noticed any significant deficiencies. However, I do not think that most medical students will be able to read it cover to cover. I suspect that many of them will resort to the shorter version of the book, or read only the most important parts of each chapter. Assessment: This is a brilliantly edited new edition of the best selling textbook of pathology. Essentially all the chapters have been updated and many were redesigned or significantly restructured. Advances in pathology, including the new discoveries made in the field of molecular pathology, are featured in almost all chapters. All illustrations are in color, and many of them are new. Combined with the numerous multicolored drawings, these figures complement the text and increase its didactic value. The references are up-to-date and well chosen. The layout and the graphic design are attractive. In its updated form, this book remains the leading U.S. pathology textbook. I predict that it will remain popular with students and professors alike.

Thermodynamic description of the C-Ge and C-Mg systems (2010)

The thermodynamic modeling for the C-Ge and C-Mg systems is performed by the CALPHAD method. The enthalpy of formation for Mg2C3, the experimental value of which is not available in the literature, is obtained via first-principles calculation to refine the thermodynamic modeling of the C-Mg system. A comparison of the thermodynamic calculations with the available literature data shows that the presently obtained two sets of thermodynamic parameters for the C-Ge and C-Mg systems can well describe the these two systems.
