Stepwise Assessment of Different Saltation Theories in Comparison with Field Observation Data (2019)

Wind-blown dust models use input data, including soil conditions and meteorology, to interpret the multi-step wind erosion process and predict the quantity of dust emission. Therefore, the accuracy of the wind-blown dust models is dependent on the accuracy of each input condition and the robustness of the model schemes for each elemental step of wind erosion. A thorough evaluation of a wind-blown model thus requires validation of the input conditions and the elemental model schemes. However, most model evaluations and intercomparisons have focused on the final output of the models, i.e., the vertical dust emission. Recently, a delicate set of measurement data for saltation flux and friction velocity was reported from the Japan-Australia Dust Experiment (JADE) Project, which enabled the step-by-step evaluation of wind-blown dust models up to the saltation step. When all the input parameters were provided from the observations, both the two widely used saltation schemes showed very good agreement with measurements, with the correlation coefficient and the agreement of index both being larger than 0.9, which demonstrated the strong robustness of the physical schemes for saltation. However, using the meteorology model to estimate the input conditions such as weather and soil conditions, considerably degraded the models’ performance. The critical reason for the model failure was determined to be the inaccuracy in the estimation of the threshold friction velocity (representing soil condition), followed by inaccurate estimation of surface wind speed. It was not possible to determine which of the two saltation schemes was superior, based on the present study results. Such differentiation will require further evaluation studies using more measurements of saltation flux and vertical dust emissions.
Direct Preparation of Nanoporous Carbon by Nanocasting (2003)

Nanoporous carbon with narrow pore size distribution was prepared via a nanocasting technique by direct carbonization of cyclodextrin-silica organic-inorganic hybrid composite. The obtained carbon exhibited very high BET surface area and high pore volume.

Based on this information a methodology will be presented, which determine the influence of weather conditions on supply reliability levels. This work joins professionals of several areas, who deal with aspects of meteorology, network indexes and reliability indexes, stochastic aspects and statistical analysis.
Single-molecule photophysics, from cryogenic to ambient conditions (2013)

We review recent progress in characterizing and understanding the photophysics of single molecules in condensed matter, mostly at cryogenic temperatures. We discuss the central role of the triplet state in limiting the number of useful host-guest systems, notably a new channel, intermolecular intersystem crossing. Another important limitation to the use of single molecules is their photo-reactivity, leading to blinking of the fluorescence signal, and eventually to its loss by photo-bleaching. These processes are at the heart of modern super-resolution schemes. We then examine some of the new host-guest systems recently discovered following these general principles, and the mechanisms of spectral diffusion and dephasing that they have revealed. When charges are injected into organic conductors, they get trapped and influence single molecules via the local fields they create in the material, and via their coupling to localized vibrations. Understanding these processes is necessary for better control of spectral diffusion and dephasing of single molecules. We finally conclude by giving some outlook on future directions of this fascinating field.
Android 292 (2014)

Android OS uses for its applicative part a Java-based virtual machine called Dalvik. Java 7 introduces a new instructions set as well as a new API specified by the JSR 292 [11] in order to improve and simplify the implementation of non-Java languages on top of the Java Virtual Machine. As far as we know, neither the JVMs that are compatible with Java ME 8 nor Android, while compatible at syntactical level with Java 7, implement this JSR. We believe this is due to the fact that current implementations for desktop and server rely on code generation at runtime which requires too much computing power and energy.
Gene therapy for cartilage defects (2005)

Focal defects of articular cartilage are an unsolved problem in clinical orthopaedics. These lesions do not heal spontaneously and no treatment leads to complete and durable cartilage regeneration. Although the concept of gene therapy for cartilage damage appears elegant and straightforward, current research indicates that an adaptation of gene transfer techniques to the problem of a circumscribed cartilage defect is required in order to successfully implement this approach. In particular, the localised delivery into the defect of therapeutic gene constructs is desirable. Current strategies aim at inducing chondrogenic pathways in the repair tissue that fills such defects. These include the stimulation of chondrocyte proliferation, maturation, and matrix synthesis via direct or cell transplantation-mediated approaches. Among the most studied candidates, polypeptide growth factors have shown promise to enhance the structural quality of the repair tissue. A better understanding of the basic scientific aspects of cartilage defect repair, together with the identification of additional molecular targets and the development of improved gene-delivery techniques, may allow a clinical translation of gene therapy for cartilage defects. The first experimental steps provide reason for cautious optimism.

Association between isolation of<i>Staphylococcus aureus</i>one week after calving and milk yield, somatic cell count, clinical mastitis, and culling through the remaining lactation (2008)

Cows with isolation of Staphylococcus aureus approximately 1 week after calving and milk yield, somatic cell count (SCC), clinical mastitis (CM), and culling risk through the remaining lactation were assessed in 178 Norwegian dairy herds. Mixed models with repeated measures were used to compare milk yield and SCC, and survival analyses were used to estimate the hazard ratio for CM and culling. On average, cows with an isolate of Staph. aureus had a significantly higher SCC than culture-negative cows. If no post-milking teat disinfection (PMTD) was used, the mean values of SCC were 42,000, 61,000, 68,000 and 77,000 cells/ml for cows with no Staph. aureus isolate, with Staph. aureus isolated in 1 quarter, in 2 quarters and more than 2 quarters respectively. If iodine PMTD was used, SCC means were 36,000; 63,000; 70,000 and 122,000, respectively. Primiparous cows testing positive for Staph. aureus had the same milk yield curve as culture-negative cows, except for those with Staph. aureus isolated in more than 2 quarters. They produced 229 kg less during a 305-d lactation. Multiparous cows with isolation of Staph. aureus in at least 1 quarter produced 94-161 kg less milk in 2nd and >3rd parity, respectively, and those with isolation in more than 2 quarters produced 303-390 kg less than multiparous culture-negative animals during a 305-d lactation. Compared with culture-negative cows, the hazard ratio for CM and culling in cows with isolation of Staph. aureus in at least 1 quarter was 2.0 (1.6-2.4) and 1.7 (1.5-1.9), respectively. There was a decrease in the SCC and in the CM risk in culture-negative cows where iodine PMTD had been used, indicating that iodine PMTD has a preventive effect on already healthy cows. For cows testing positive for Staph. aureus in more than 2 quarters at calving, iodine PMTD had a negative effect on the CM risk and on the SCC through the remaining lactation.
A Nested Workflow Model for Visual Analytics Design and Validation (2016)

Characterizing the problem domain and understanding users' practices and processes are recognized as important steps in order to design and validate visualization, but are often disregarded in practice, also because of their complexity. We introduce the nested workflow model for design and validation of visual analytics, aimed at providing designers with a powerful and expressive modelling tool. This model enables the description of visual analytics processes, at different design levels, in terms of tasks, data, and users, including complex workflow patterns, data and knowledge flows, and collaboration between users. We discuss its application to two visual analytics projects, demonstrating its usefulness for their design and validation.
The combination effect of pH, SO <sub>2</sub> , ethanol and temperature on the growth of <i>Leuconostoc oenos</i> (1990)

A factorial design was used to determine the main effects and interactions of pH (3.6, 3.8 and 4.0), SO 2 (25 and 50 mg/l), ethanol (7%, 10% and 13%, v/v) and temperature (15°C and 25°C) on the growth of 54 Leuconostoc oenos strains. These differed greatly in their ability to survive adverse conditions. Under the test conditions, temperature had a profound effect on growth. The power pH values of 3.6 and 3.8 had a marked inhibitory effect on growth, as did at the lower temperature of 15°C. The higher concentrations of SO 2 (50 mg/l) and ethanol (13%) had the greatest inhibitory effect on growth, and with a synergistic effect when both SO 2 and ethanol were added to the test medium. Based on these results, five strains were selected that were best capable of surviving the adverse conditions studied. These strains will be used for further study on the induction of malolactic fermentation in wine.
Assessing the Effects of Deprenyl on Longevity and Antioxidant Defenses in Different Animal Models (1998)

Among many pharmaceuticals that have been tested for their effects on longevities of different animal rodents, deprenyl is unique in that its effects on longevity has been tested in at least four different animal species by independent research groups and that the effect has been postulated to be due to its effect of raising such antioxidant enzyme activities as superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT) in selective brain regions. Thus far, in all four species of animals examined (rats, mice, hamsters, and dogs), a positive effect was demonstrated, although the extent of its effect is quite variable. Our group has examined the effect on longevities in rats and mice and on antioxidant enzymes in rats, mice, and dogs. Although in rats of both sexes, we have obtained positive effects on longevity, two studies with different doses in mice did not reveal a significantly positive effect. We have observed, however, significantly positive effects on SOD (in Cu, Zn-, and Mn-) as well as CAT (but not glutathione peroxidase) activities in the brain dopaminergic system such as in the S. nigra and striatum (but not in hippocampus) in all rats, mice, and dogs, although the effects were quite variable, depending on the doses used. In mice, however, a long-term administration (3x/w, 3 months) caused a remarkable decrease in the magnitude of activity as well as a narrowing of the effective dose range, which may explain a relatively weak effect of the drug on mouse longevity. Further, a recent study on aging beagle dogs by Ruehl et al. showed a remarkable effect on longevity, which agrees with our SOD study in dogs. Although deprenyl has been claimed to have several other effects, such as a radical scavenging effect and a neuroprotective effect, past reports on its effects on longevities and antioxidant defenses are compatible with the notion that the drug prolongs the life span of animals by reducing the oxidative damage to the brain dopaminergic system during aging. Further, our studies on F-344 rats as well as a dog study by Ruehl et al. suggest that the drug may at least partially prolong the life span of animals by enhancing immune system function and preventing tumor development in animals.

Cloud Analytics for Wireless Metric Prediction - Framework and Performance (2015)

The knowledge of a future link quality for a user equipment (UE) in wireless networks may be used by the application and TCP layer so that user's experience is optimized. The metrics that are relevant are available at the core of the radio link and the application or TCP layers have no knowledge of the wireless metrics. With a signaling protocol to the application/TCP layer and a prediction mechanism of the future link quality the applications will be able to avoid buffer overflows and/or congestion. In this paper we identify metrics that are suitable for application/TCP control, and analyze the performance of the prediction of the metrics. We show that the prediction of wireless metrics can be made with low error (3-10% MAPE) even with high cloud latency. This is a significant result as it states that predictions in the cloud of even short term LTE metrics are possible and that the predictions are fairly accurate to influence the proper operation of applications/TCP in wireless environments.

<b>Suicidality and Its Relationship to Treatment Outcome in Depressed Adolescents</b> (2004)

This study investigates the impact of suicidality on treatment outcome in 107 depressed adolescents who participated in a clinical trial, and received either cognitive-behavioral (CBT), systemic-behavioral-family (SBFT), or non-directive-supportive therapy (NST). Suicidal depressed adolescents had a higher dropout rate and were more likely to be depressed at the end of treatment, in large part due to the particularly poor response of suicidal patients to NST. The relationship between suicidality and treatment response was mediated by severity of depression and hopelessness at intake. Hopelessness should be specifically targeted early in treatment. Suicidal depressed adolescents should not receive NST but a specific treatment like CBT.
Synthesis and Characterization of Heterometallic {Cr<sub>7</sub>M} Wheels (2003)

A new set of wheels: Substituting a chromium ion in [Cr8F8(O2CCMe3)16] with one of a number of alternative transition metals has yielded an unprecedented family of heterometallic wheel complexes (see picture), supported at their centers by secondary ammonium ions. Both 3d (Mn, Fe, Co, Ni) and 4d (Cd) metals have been employed to produce such structures, the magnetic and spectroscopic properties of which are discussed.
Disrupting NOTCH Slows Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma Growth, Enhances Radiation Sensitivity, and Shows Combinatorial Efficacy With Bromodomain Inhibition (2015)

NOTCH regulates stem cells during normal development and stemlike cells in cancer, but the roles of NOTCH in the lethal pediatric brain tumor diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG) remain unknown. Because DIPGs express stem cell factors such as SOX2 and MYCN, we hypothesized that NOTCH activity would be critical for DIPG growth. We determined that primary DIPGs expressed high levels of NOTCH receptors, ligands, and downstream effectors. Treatment of the DIPG cell lines JHH-DIPG1 and SF7761 with the γ-secretase inhibitor MRK003 suppressed the level of the NOTCH effectors HES1, HES4, and HES5; inhibited DIPG growth by 75%; and caused a 3-fold induction of apoptosis. Short hairpin RNAs targeting the canonical NOTCH pathway caused similar effects. Pretreatment of DIPG cells with MRK003 suppressed clonogenic growth by more than 90% and enhanced the efficacy of radiation therapy. The high level of MYCN in DIPG led us to test sequential therapy with the bromodomain inhibitor JQ1 and MRK003, and we found that JQ1 and MRK003 inhibited DIPG growth and induced apoptosis. Together, these results suggest that dual targeting of NOTCH and MYCN in DIPG may be an effective therapeutic strategy in DIPG and that adding a γ-secretase inhibitor during radiation therapy may be efficacious initially or during reirradiation.
The Nodulin 26-like intrinsic membrane protein OsNIP3;2 is involved in arsenite uptake by lateral roots in rice (2017)

Previous studies have shown that the Nodulin 26-like intrinsic membrane protein (NIP) Lsi1 (OsNIP2;1) is involved in arsenite [As(III)] uptake in rice (Oryza sativa). However, the role of other rice NIPs in As(III) accumulation in planta remains unknown. In the present study, we investigated the role OsNIP3;2 in As(III) uptake in rice. When expressed in Xenopus laevis oocytes, OsNIP3;2 showed a high transport activity for As(III). Quantitative real-time RT-PCR showed that the expression of OsNIP3;2 was suppressed by 5 µM As(III), but enhanced by 20 and 100 µM As(III). Transgenic rice plants expressing OsNIP3;2pro-GUS showed that the gene was predominantly expressed in the lateral roots and the stele region of the primary roots. Transient expression of OsNIP3;2:GFP fusion protein in rice protoplasts showed that the protein was localized in the plasma membrane. Knockout of OsNIP3;2 significantly decreased As concentration in the roots, but had little effect on shoot As concentration. Synchrotron microfocus X-ray fluorescence showed decreased As accumulation in the stele of the lateral roots in the mutants compared with wild-type. Our results indicate that OsNIP3;2 is involved in As(III) uptake by lateral roots, but its contribution to As accumulation in the shoots is limited.
Hemodynamic and endocrine changes associated with potassium supplementation in sodium-loaded hypertensives. (1984)

To clarify the mechanism by which potassium (KCl) protects against the blood pressure rising action of sodium (NaCl), we studied the effects of KCl loading in patients with idiopathic hypertension who, after a period of NaCl restriction, partook of a high NaCl diet. Eleven patients who had taken the KCl supplement (96 mEq/day) during the high NaCl period showed lesser mean blood pressure (MAP) rise with changes in NaCl intake from 25 to 250 mEq/day than 12 patients who had not taken the KCl supplement (p less than 0.001). With a high NaCl diet, the KCl-supplemented patients retained less NaCl, gained less weight, and showed a lesser increase in plasma volume and cardiac output than the non-KCl-supplemented ones. Overall, the increase in blood pressure levels during the high Na diet correlated directly either with changes in plasma volume (p less than 0.05) or with changes in cardiac output (p less than 0.01). The results suggest that KCl may prevent a rise in blood pressure with NaCl loads in hypertensive patients by attenuating the increase in cardiac output, mainly as a result of the natriuresis. Furthermore, plasma norepinephrine was measured to estimate the sympathetic activity, since the sympathetic nervous system is known to control urinary NaCl excretion. From the low NaCl diet to Day 3 of the high NaCl diet, plasma norepinephrine was significantly (p less than 0.01) decreased in the KCl-supplemented patients, whereas it remained unchanged in the non-KCl-supplemented ones.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
