An Improved Linearity Ring Oscillator-Based Current-to-Digital Converter (2022)

Many biosensors produce single-ended current outputs. Lab-on-chip applications demand parallel readout channels requiring low area current-to-digital converters. High HD2 has limited the Current Controlled Ring Oscillator’s adoption as a low area, single-ended converter. This work improves CCRO open loop linearity by 10 dB. A wide-bandwidth current buffer is also designed. A low area (0.0025 mm2), low power (357μW), single-ended, 1 MHz bandwidth converter suitable for array readout is presented with measured performance.
Augmenting behavior‐modeling training: Testing the effects of pre‐ and post‐training interventions (1994)

Abstract A number of recent training authors have suggested that pre‐ and post‐training interventions may enhance training outcomes. In the present study, pre‐ and post‐training interventions were added to an established behavior‐modeling program on assertiveness, creating four conditions: (1) no intervention, (2) pretraining interventions, (3) post‐training interventions, and (4) both. One hundred fifty trainees completed the module, and measures of trainee reaction, learning retention, and behavioral change were obtained. Results indicated that the post‐training intervention strongly affected learning retention, as well as reactions immediately following training, with moderate effects on behavior. No significant effects were observed between the pretraining intervention and any of the trainee outcome measures. Implications of the findings for training research and practice are discussed.
Zur selektiven Hydrierung von Kohlenmonoxid zu C<sub>2</sub>‐ bis C<sub>4</sub>‐Olefinen (1977)

Abstract Mit der Zielsetzung, die Selektivität der Fischer‐Tropsch‐Synthese zu kurzkettigen Olefinen zu erhöhen, wurden in einem Laborreaktor an einer Reihe von Katalysatoren Syntheseversuche durchgeführt. Insbesondere wurde die Wirkung von Kobalt‐ und Wolf‐ramcarbid‐Zusätzen zu Eisenfällungskatalysatoren studiert. Einige der Katalysatoren zeigen eine Selektivität von mehr als 60% Olefine in der C 1 ‐bis C 4 ‐Gasphase bei ca. 1300 V/V h, 70% CO‐Umsatz und 300 °C Synthesetemperatur. Zum besseren Verständnis des Reaktionsablaufs wurden parallel „in situ”︁‐Untersuchungen in der Ionenquelle eines Massenspektrometers durchgeführt. Sie haben gezeigt, daß als sauerstoffhaltige Primärprodukte Methanol, Formaldehyd, Äthanol sowie Acetaldehyd neben Olefinen gebildet werden.

Associations between Socioeconomic Status, Healthy Behaviors, and Metabolic Syndrome in Koreans: About 2012 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey Participants (2015)

Ba ckground: Metabolic syndrome is associated with cardiovascular risk factors. Health behaviors are important in the management of metabolic syndrome, and are closely related to socioeconomic status. Prevalence of metabolic syndrome varies with gender, generation, and decade Therefore, this study was performed to analyze relationships between socioeconomic status, health behaviors, and metabolic syndrome in the employed population over 30 years in 2012. Me thods: In all, 2,998 (men 1,156 and women 1,842) individuals over 30 years in 2012 were included in this study. Multivariate logistic regression was performed using income, education, smoking, alcohol use, exercise, dietary habits, anthropometric data, and blood test results. Re sults: The prevalence of metabolic syndrome was 20.6% (men 20.9% and women 20.5%). Higher socioeconomic status correlated with more beneficial health behaviors in both men and women. Higher socioeconomic status correlated with lower prevalence of metabolic syndrome in women alone. Co nclusion: In the productive population over 30 years, higher socioeconomic status in both men and women correlated with less harmful health behaviors. In women, higher socioeconomic status significantly correlated with lower prevalence of metabolic syndrome. Therefore, it is important to understand how socioeconomic status relates to health behaviors. This area will require further study of other relevant factors affecting the prevalence of metabolic syndrome in women.
Food habits of fishes in a subtropical seagrass bed in Nagura Bay, Ishigaki Island, southern Japan (2022)

Abstract Recent losses of seagrass beds have resulted in a decrease in seagrass-associated fishes, highlighting the need for the improved management of such habitats and resources. Analyses of feeding patterns of fish associated with seagrass habitats are useful for understanding their habitat dependence, which contributes to achieving their effective conservation. The gut contents of 61 fish species were examined to clarify the food habits of subtropical seagrass fishes in Nagura Bay, Ishigaki Island, southern Japan. A cluster analysis based on dietary overlaps showed that the seagrass fish assemblage comprised six trophic groups (small crustacean, large crustacean, detritus, plant, fish and zooplankton feeders). Small and large crustacean feeders were the most abundant, followed by detritus, plant and fish feeders. Zooplankton feeders were represented by only two species. Ontogenetic changes in food preference were recognized in four species, including Lutjanus fulviflamma , Ostorhinchus ishigakiensis , Gerres oyena and Siganus fuscescens . Small individuals of the four species generally fed on small crustaceans or detritus, subsequently switching to other larger prey items with growth (e.g. crabs, shrimps and seagrass fronds). The most important food items for the assemblage comprised harpacticoid copepods, shrimps, crabs and detritus, representing high cumulative gut volumes for all fishes. Some species showed diets remarkably different from those determined for fishes in other seagrass beds off a nearby neighbouring island, evidence of the food-use patterns of seagrass fishes varying on a small spatial scale. Such dietary flexibility may increase the adaptability of fishes to seagrass beds characterized by significant variations in available food resources.
Pilot study examining tumor expression of RAD51 and clinical outcomes in human head cancers (2006)

Radiation therapy and chemotherapy are commonly used treatments for head and neck cancer. RAD51 is a highly conserved DNA repair protein that serves a central function in the homologous recombination pathway. High levels of RAD51 protein expression have been reported in number of human cancer cell lines, and studies suggest that RAD51 overexpression can increase cellular resistance to radiation and some chemotherapeutic drugs. In this study, RAD51 protein levels were quantified by immunohistochemistry in tumor samples from twelve head and neck cancer patients who received identical treatment with induction chemotherapy (paclitaxel and carboplatinum) followed by radiation therapy given concurrently with additional chemotherapy (paclitaxel, fluorouracil, hydroxyurea). Patients with high RAD51 protein levels in their pre-treatment tumor biopsies demonstrated poorer cancer-specific survival rates than patients with lower RAD51 levels (33.3% vs. 88.9% at 2 years; p=0.025). In addition, within a subgroup of patients with normal tumor cell p53 expression, there was a non-significant trend toward better induction chemotherapy response rates observed in the tumors with lower RAD51 protein levels. These results suggest that tumor cell RAD51 expression levels may influence the outcome of patients with head and neck cancer treated with chemotherapy and radiotherapy.
Standardization of an API for Distributed Resource Management Systems (2007)

Today's cluster and grid environments demand the usage of product-specific APIs and tools for developing distributed applications. We give an overview of the distributed resource management application API (DRMAA) specification, which defines a common interface for job submission, control, and monitoring. The DRMAA specification was developed by the authors at the open grid forum standardization body, and has meanwhile significant adoption in academic and commercial cluster systems. Within this paper, we describe the basic concepts of the finalized API, and explain issues and findings with the standardization of such an unified interface.
Modeling the Conformality of Atomic Layer Deposition: The Effect of Sticking Probability (2009)

The key advantage of atomic layer deposition ALD is undoubtedly the excellent step coverage, which allows for conformal deposition of thin films in high-aspect-ratio structures. In this paper, a model is proposed to predict the deposited film thickness as a function of depth inside a hole. The main model parameters are the gas pressure, the deposition temperature, and the initial sticking probability of the precursor molecules. Earlier work by Gordon et al. assumed a sticking probability of 0/100% for molecules hitting a covered/uncovered section of the wall of the hole, thus resulting in a stepwise film-thickness profile. In this work, the sticking probability is related to the surface coverage by Langmuir's equation s = s 0 1 -, whereby the initial sticking probability s 0 is now an adjustable model parameter. For s 0 100%, the model predicts a steplike profile, in agreement with Gordon et al., while for smaller values of s 0 , a gradual decreasing coverage profile is predicted. Furthermore, experiments were performed to quantify the conformality for the trimethylaluminum TMA/H 2 O ALD process using macroscopic test structures. It is shown that the experimental data and the simulation results follow the same trends.
KLF4‐dependent, PPARγ‐induced expression of GPA33 in colon cancer cell lines (2009)

The glycoprotein A33 (GPA33) is a colon cancer antigen. Phase I trials with 131I and 125I monoclonal antibody A33 in colon carcinoma patients showed excellent localization to colorectal cancer and some evidence of tumor response. Using DNA microarrays, we have identified the GPA33 gene as a target of PPARgamma in HT29-Cl.16E colon cancer cells. Treatment of HT29-Cl.16E, Caco2, SW1116 and LS174T colon cancer cells with the PPARgamma agonist GW7845 induced a 2- to 6-fold increase in GPA33 mRNA as determined by real-time PCR. This induction was also found in HT29-Cl.16E cells treated with rosiglitazone and ciglitazone and was prevented by cotreatment with the PPARgamma antagonist GW9662, indicating that this regulation was PPARgamma dependent. No canonical PPAR responsive element was found in the GPA33 promoter. We therefore analyzed the expression of transcription factors involved in GPA33 expression. CDXl, CDX2 and KLF5 expression was not modified by PPARgamma activation. By contrast, a significant increase in KLF4 was seen, both at mRNA and protein levels. Furthermore, chromatin immunoprecipitation studies demonstrated that an increased amount of KLF4 protein was bound to the GPA33 promoter in cells treated with rosiglitazone. Finally, downregulation of KLF4 expression by siRNA reduced rosiglitazone-induced GPA33 expression. This indicates that PPARgamma activation induces KLF4 expression, which in turn increases GPA33 expression. We also demonstrate that PPARgamma activation leads to increased (p21WAF1/Cip1 and keratin 19) or decreased (cyclin D1) expression of known KLF4 targets, suggesting that KLF4 is a nodal player in a network of PPARgamma-regulated genes.

Biologic Data of Cynomolgus Monkeys Maintained under Laboratory Conditions (2016)

The cynomolgus monkey (Macaca fascicularis) is a well-known non-human primate species commonly used in non-clinical research. It is important to know basal clinical pathology parameters in order to have a reference for evaluating any potential treatment-induced effects, maintaining health status among animals and, if needed, evaluating correct substantiative therapies. In this study, data from 238 untreated cynomolgus monkeys (119 males and 119 females of juvenile age, 2.5 to 3.5 years) kept under laboratory conditions were used to build up a reference database of clinical pathology parameters. Twenty-two hematology markers, 24 clinical chemistry markers and two blood coagulation parameters were analyzed. Gender-related differences were evaluated using statistical analyses. To assess the possible effects of stress induced by housing or handling involved in treatment procedures, 78 animals (35 males and 35 females out of 238 juvenile monkeys and four adult males and four adult females) were used to evaluate cortisol, corticosterone and behavioral assessment over time. Data were analyzed using a non-parametric statistical test and machine learning approaches. Reference clinical pathology data obtained from untreated animals may be extremely useful for investigators employing cynomolgus monkeys as a test system for non-clinical safety studies.
Palladium catalyzed cross‐methylation of bromoheterocycles with intramolecularly stabilized dimethyl indium reagents (2003)

Abstract Although the intramolecularly stabilized [(3‐dimethylamino)propyl]dimethylaluminum ( 1a ) fails to undergo palladium‐catalyzed cross‐coupling with bromopyridines and with bromofuran derivatives, the analogous gallium and indium reagent 1b and 1c smoothly cross‐methylate these and other bromoheterocycles. The cross‐coupling can be performed also with the dimeric indium and gallium compounds bis(μ‐[2‐(dimethylamino)ethanolato‐ N,O:O ]tetramethyldigallium and ‐diindium ( 2b and 2c , respectively). The indium reagent is fairly air‐stable and the reactions can be carried out under ambient conditions. The yields are generally very high but are influenced by steric and electronic effects.
Wobble uridine modifications–a reason to live, a reason to die?! (2017)

Wobble uridines (U<sub>34</sub>) are generally modified in all species. U<sub>34</sub> modifications can be essential in metazoans but are not required for viability in fungi. In this review, we provide an overview on the types of modifications and how they affect the physico-chemical properties of wobble uridines. We describe the molecular machinery required to introduce these modifications into tRNA posttranscriptionally and discuss how posttranslational regulation may affect the activity of the modifying enzymes. We highlight the activity of anticodon specific RNases that target U<sub>34</sub> containing tRNA. Finally, we discuss how defects in wobble uridine modifications lead to phenotypes in different species. Importantly, this review will mainly focus on the cytoplasmic tRNAs of eukaryotes. A recent review has extensively covered their bacterial and mitochondrial counterparts. <sup>1</sup>.
Design and Implementation of a Distributed Fall Detection System—Personal Server (2009)

In this paper, the main results related to a fall detection system are shown by means of a personal server for the control and processing of the data acquired from multiple intelligent biomedical sensors. This server is designed in the context of a telehealthcare system for the elderly, to whom falls represent a high-risk cause of serious injuries, and its architecture can be extended to patients suffering from chronic diseases. The main design issues and developments in terms of the server hardware and software are presented with the aim of providing a real-time analysis of the processed biosignals. As a result, the evaluation study of the implemented algorithm for fall detection through a set of laboratory experiments is presented, together with some important issues in terms of the device's consumption. The proposed algorithm exhibits excellent outcomes in fall detection.
Resprouting and survival of guinea pig cochlear neurons in response to the administration of the neurotrophins brain-derived neurotrophic factor and neurotrophin-3 (2005)

Degeneration of auditory neurons occurs after deafening and is associated with damage to the organ of Corti. The administration of neurotrophins can protect auditory neurons against degeneration if given shortly after deafening. However, it is not known whether the delayed administration of neurotrophins, when significant degeneration has already occurred, will provide similar protection. Furthermore, little is known about the effects of neurotrophins on the peripheral processes of the auditory neurons or whether these neurons can resprout. This study examined the morphological effects on auditory neurons following deafening and the administration of brain-derived neurotrophic factor and neurotrophin-3. Results showed that neurotrophins were effective in preventing death of auditory neurons if administered 5 days after deafening and were also effective in preventing the continued loss of neurons if the administration was delayed by 33 days. The peripheral processes of auditory neurons in cochleae that received neurotrophins were in greater number and had larger diameters compared with the untreated cochleae. Localized regions of resprouting peripheral processes were observed in deafened cochleae and were enhanced in response to neurotrophin treatment, occurring across wider regions of the cochlea. These findings have significant implications for an improvement in the performance of the cochlear implant and for future therapies to restore hearing to the deaf.
Consumer Repossessions and Deficiencies: New Perspectives from New Data (1982)

Each year in the United States upwards of half a million automobiles are repossessed from consumers who purchased them on credit.'Following repossession, these automobiles are ordinarily sold by the repossessing creditor or by a car dealer to whom the creditor has assigned his rights in the collateral. 2 If the price obtained for the collateral is inadequate to extinguish the purchaser's debt, Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code (U.C.C.), 3 permits the repossessing creditor, or an assignee of his rights, to collect the resulting deficiency from the debtor.4Between 1969 and 1975, several empirical studies of automobile repossession sales and deficiencies were reported.'These studies were based on court records of lawsuits to recover deficiencies.The studies indicated that deficiencies were often caused by the sale of repossessed automobiles at substantially t
Selective Recovery of Rare Earth Elements from Coal Fly Ash Leachates Using Liquid Membrane Processes (2019)

Coal combustion residues and other geological waste materials have been proposed as a resource for rare earth elements (REEs, herein defined as the 14 stable lanthanides, yttrium, and scandium). The extraction of REEs from residues often generate acidified leachates that require highly selective separation methods to recover the REEs from other major soluble ions in the leachates. Here, we studied two liquid membrane processes (liquid emulsion membranes, LEM, and supported liquid membranes, SLM) and compared them to standard solvent extraction techniques for selective recovery and concentration of REEs from a leachate of coal fly ash. All separation methods involved an organic solution of di(2-ethylhexyl)phosphoric acid dissolved in kerosene or mineral oil and an acid strippant solution of 5 M nitric acid for the liquid-based separations. The LEM configuration, which separated REEs by immersing an acid-in-oil emulsion in the ash leachate, resulted in similar recovery percentages of individual REEs as the conventional solvent extraction approach. The recovery of REEs in the SLM configuration, which involved the impregnation of the solvent in a hydrophobic membrane, was slower than the LEM process. However, the SLM process was notably more selective for the heavy (and higher value) REEs, while the conventional extraction and LEM processes were more selective for the light REEs. A flux-based model of the extraction processes suggested that recovery rates were limited by REE affinity for the solvent chelator in the SLM, while the rates of REEs separation via LEM were limited by diffusive mass transfer across the liquid membrane. Altogether, these results help to identify specific steps in the recovery process that future work should target in the development of scalable liquid membrane separations for REE recovery.

Excited-State Dynamics in CdS Quantum Dots Adsorbed on a Metal Electrode (1999)

The electronic structure and decay dynamics of a long-lived excited state in CdS quantum dots (Q-CdS) were investigated in a novel way by a time-resolved optoelectrical method. Q-CdS was adsorbed as a monolayer on a gold electrode and used in a photoelectrochemical cell, the gold/Q-CdS/electrolyte structure forming a double-barrier tunnel junction. The rates of photoinduced tunneling processes were measured by intensity-modulated photocurrent spectroscopy (IMPS). These tunneling processes compete with intraparticle decay of a long-lived excited state. In this way the excited-state dynamics could be studied. From a scan of the gold Fermi level, it was deduced that the long-lived excited state consists of an electron in the LUMO and a hole trapped in a level high in the bandgap.
