Influence of microstructure on the resistivity of MoSi2 thin films (1988)

A study of electrical transport properties in MoSi2 thin films revealed a large resistivity difference of 57 vs 157 μΩ cm at room temperature between films formed from a codeposited Mo/Si structure and layers formed by reaction of deposited Mo with Si. The resistivity difference was found to be temperature independent. The Hall effect in the films formed from deposited Mo was a factor of four larger than in films formed from a codeposited alloy. The temperature dependencies of the Hall effect were also found to be different. Analyses of the films by Rutherford backscattering and transmission electron microscopy revealed no significant differences in thickness or grain size of the layers. The only microstructural difference is the stacking fault density, which is very high in the high-ohmic films. The mechanism by which the stacking faults influence the electrical properties of MoSi2 and other refractory metal silicides is discussed, and relations are established between the method of deposition, the microstructure of the films, and the electrical transport properties.

The pursuit of wild animals for sport : comprising shooting, hunting, coursing & fishing : the manual of British rural sports (2008)

The Manual of British Rural Sports first appeared in 1856 and quickly established itself as an excellent handbook to the many outdoor pursuits practised in the British countryside.
Electronic Structure and Optical Properties of Hexagonal CdSe, CdS, and ZnS (1967)

Pseudopotential form factors and band structures are determined for CdSe, CdS, and ZnS. These band structures are then used to analyze the optical data for these crystals. The calculation confirms some earlier identifications of the optical structure in some cases, and causes new interpretations in other cases. In addition, some previously unidentified structure is explained. A calculation of the imaginary part of the dielectric function is given for hexagonal CdSe and ZnS.
Determination of Rotating Assembly Synchronous Response Characteristics Using Blade Tip-Timing Techniques (1995)

Abstract This paper presents an improved analysis method for the interpretation of the vibration data measured at turbomachinery blade tips using optical laser probes. A multi-degree-of-freedom numerical simulator, which includes the structural and geometric properties of the bladed-disk assembly, the external forcing terms and the characteristics of the optical probe, has been developed to assess the reliability of the various data processing techniques to identify the natural frequencies and mode shapes of bladed-disk assemblies. It has been demonstrated that the Zablotsky-Korostelev single parameter technique, which is a de-facto standard in the aerospace industries, has inherent limitations associated with it. An improved and more rigorous method is presented for deriving the blade arrival times and a non-linear solution technique is suggested for their numerical determination. Finally, the effect of blade mistuning on the accuracy of the proposed method is also investigated.
A model for signature verification (2002)

The authors propose a statistical model for signature verification by computer. The model recognizes that repeated signatures by the owner are similar but not identical. The model consists of a template signature for each individual, and several factors which allow for variations in each rendition of this template. These variations include the speed of writing, as well as slowly varying affine transformations size as size, rotation and shear. The estimated template represents the mean of a sample of signatures from an individual, and the variations in the factors can be used to establish several measures of variance. These quantitative measures are essential for reliable signature verification.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>
Evidence for unusually strong intramolecular hydrogen bonding in highly nonplanar porphyrins (1999)

The 1H NMR spectra of the 5,10,15,20-tetraalkylporphyrins 2–4 reveal a large downfield shift of the signal for the NH protons and a reduction in the activation energy for NH tautomerism as the alkyl substituents become larger; these unusual changes can be rationalized in terms of greatly enhanced intramolecular hydrogen bonding of the NH protons as the bulkier substituents distort the macrocycle from planarity and contract the porphyrin core.
The development of a nonlinear model to describe the blood glucose response for the determination of prandial insulin infusion. (1985)

We studied the relationship between the rate of intravenous glucose infusion and the blood glucose concentration at two different physiological levels of hyperinsulinemia in a depancreatized dog. The same degree of changes in the glucose infusion rate generated progressively larger increments in the blood glucose concentration. We then developed a Michaelis-Menten type kinetic model which could appropriately describe this nonlinear relationship of blood glucose response under the condition of hyperinsulinemia. In order to determine the prandial insulin infusion program, we used more simplified equations based on a nonlinear model. The simplified equations were demonstrated to be applicable for estimating the prandial subcutaneous insulin infusion program in the continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion system.

Distributed Kalman Filter algorithms for self-localization of mobile devices (2010)

This paper addresses the problem of self localization of mobile devices. In particular, each device combines noisy measurements of its absolute position with distance measurements to its neighbors. The communication topology is modeled by a graph. Both static and dynamic graph structures are investigated. The self-localization task is addressed using distributed Kalman Filters. First a filter is designed which uses only locally available measurements for state estimation. Secondly, a data fusion step is added to the filter. This allows the usage of more measurement information available in the network to improve the accuracy. When the graph is dynamic, a larger communication radius is necessary to ensure reliable performance.
Ascorbic acid induces a marked conformational change in long duplex DNA (2003)

Ascorbic acid is often regarded as an antioxidant in vivo, where it protects against cancer by scavenging DNA-damaging reactive oxygen species. However, the detailed mechanism of the action of ascorbic acid on genetic DNA is still unclear. We examined the effect of ascorbic acid on the higher-order structure of DNA through real-time observation by fluorescence microscopy. We found that ascorbic acid generates a pearling structure in single giant DNA molecules, with elongated and compact regions coexisting along a molecular chain. Results from electron microscopy and atomic force microscopy indicate that the compact regions assume a loosely packed conformation. A possible mechanism for the induction of this conformational change is discussed in relation to the interplay between the higher-order and second-order structures of DNA.
INFLUENCE OF ORALLY ADMINISTERED ANTIBIOTICS ON GROWTH AND PLASMA LIPID LEVELS OF GROWING CHICKS (1963)

Abstract : Growing chicks were fed semi-purified diets supplemented with antibiotics or sulfa drugs in the presence or absence of supplemental cholesterol. The data indicate that antibiotics and sulfa drugs depress plasma cholesterol levels of chicks fed a cholesterol-free diet when they also stimulate growth, but are without effect in the absence of such a growth stimulation. In cholesterol-fed chicks, antibiotics and sulfasuxidine elevated plasma cholesterol and lipid phosphorus levels. A highly significant positive correlation was observed between plasma cholesterol and lipid phosphorus levels for chicks fed either a choles terol-free or supplemented diet.

Holmium Laser Resection of the Prostate (1998)

A total of 35 patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) were treated with the Ho: YAG laser using a new technique termed holmium laser resection of the prostate or HoLRP. The laser energy was applied directly to prostatic tissue exclusively through the use of a standard 550 micron end-firing fiber. A high-powered holmium laser was used and was set at 2.4 J per pulse at 25 pulses per second for an average power of 60 W. The mean preoperative AUA Symptom Score was 24. Postoperatively, the score dropped to 10.9, 8.2, 5.2, and 4.6 at 1 week, 1 month, 3 months, and 6 months, respectively. The peak urine flow rate improved from 6.3 mL/sec preoperatively to 15.1, 15.3 and 16 mL/sec at 1 week, 1 month, 3 months, and 6 months. A foley catheter was removed within 24 hours of completion of the operation in 31 patients (89%), and voiding was improved. The HoLRP technique was bloodless, and the short-term results were satisfactory. Most importantly, the defect produced by HoLRP is identical to that of a conventional transurethral resection. These initial results demonstrate that HoLRP is a useful surgical alternative in the treatment of patients with obstructive BPH.
Potential applications of neural networks in construction (1992)

During the past decade, several engineering disciplines, including construction, have embarked on developing “intelligent” decision support systems based on artificial intelligence (AI) techniques, including expert systems, symbolic knowledge representation, and logic programming. These systems attempt to capture the domain experts' intelligent behaviour and reasoning process utilized in decision-making, without regard to the underlying mechanisms producing that behaviour. This approach involves describing behaviours, usually with rules and symbols. In contrast, neural networks (NN), another AI-based technique that has been pursued on a large scale during the past few years, does not describe behaviours but rather imitate them. Neural networks are particularly superior to traditional expert systems in providing timely solutions based primarily on analogy with previous experience, rather than reasoning or computation. As such, neural networks have a great potential to work either as a supplement or as a complement to algorithmic and (or) other AI-based systems, providing more suitable tools for solving the industry ill-structured problems.This paper describes several characteristics of neural networks and outlines the advantages and limitations of commonly used NN paradigms. Potential applications of each paradigm in construction are identified. Two example applications are provided to demonstrate the problem-solving capabilities of neural networks: (i) estimation of hourly production rate of an excavation equipment; and (ii) estimation of productivity level for a construction trade. Future possibilities of integrating neural networks with other problem-solving techniques are described. Key words: construction, management techniques, neural networks, expert systems, pattern recognition, computer applications.
Impact of Pegfilgrastim and Dosing Schedule of Cytarabine on Hematological Reconstitution Times, Incidences of Severe Infection and Duration of Hospitalization after Consolidation Therapy with High-Dose Cytarabine in Acute Myeloid Leukaemia - Interim Results from AMLSG 07-04 Trial. (2007)

Abstract Introduction: Therapy using high-dose cytarabine (HiDAC) according to the CALGB scheme (3g/m2 bid. days 1,3,5) is recognized as a standard consolidation treatment for younger adult patients (pts) with AML. Pegfilgrastim (PF) has been shown to be effective in reducing the duration of neutropenia in treatment of solid tumors and it seems to be even more effective than Filgrastim in reducing the incidence of infection. Methods: The AMLSG 07-04 trial (NCT00151242) was initiated in September 2004 (age 18–60 yrs). Consolidation therapy for cytogenetic favorable- and intermediate-risk groups consists of 3 cycles of HiDAC (3g/m2 bid. days 1,3,5) with PF 6mg given at day 10 (1-3-5 schedule) or after amendment no. 2 of HiDAC (3g/m2 bid. days 1,2,3) with PF 6mg given at day 8 (1-2-3 schedule). As a control group, pts randomized from AMLSG into the German AML Intergroup protocol using the standard 1-3-5 schedule for consolidation therapy with allowed interventional application of G-CSF were used. Results: Data from 251 pts and a total of 584 cycles are available (137 pts and 324 cycles, 1-3-5 schedule; 78 pts and 185 cycles, 1-2-3 schedule; 36 pts and 75 cycles, German AML Intergroup standard arm). Data from all three consolidation cycles were pooled for the comparison between the AMLSG 07-04 1-3-5 schedule and the German AML Intergroup standard arm. The duration of leukopenia (LP) and neutropenia (NP) were significantly shorter in pts receiving PF within the AMLSG 07-04 trial compared to pts within the German AML Intergroup standard arm (intention-to-treat, p=0.08 and p=0.03; as-treated, p=0.01 and 0.008, respectively). This beneficial effect of PF on LP and NP increased with the number of cycles. This was paralleled by a lower incidence of infection ≥CTC grade 3 with 40% in the 1-3-5 schedule and 67% in the German AML Intergroup standard arm (p&lt;0.0001). The comparison of the 1-2-3 schedule with the 1-3-5 schedule within the AMLSG 07-04 protocol revealed significantly shorter LP and NP in favor for the 1-2-3 schedule (p=0.03 and p=0.004, respectively). In median, pts after the 1-3-5 and the 1-2-3 schedule achieved a leukocyte count above 1.0/μl and a neutrophil count above 0.5/μl at day 20 and day 22 as well as 16 and 17, respectively. In a single center experience using out patient platelet and red blood cell support, the median time of hospitalization for the 1-3-5 (n=32 cycles) and the 1-2-3 (n=25) schedule could be reduced to 7.5 and 5 days with incidences for readmission of 33% and 12.5%, respectively. Conclusion: The administration of PF after HiDAC-based consolidation therapy in AML significantly shortened the duration of leuko- and neutropenia, reduced the rate of severe infections, and reduced the period of hospitalization.
Proof of the local REM conjecture for number partitioning. II. Growing energy scales (2008)

Abstract We continue our analysis of the number partitioning problem with n weights chosen i.i.d. from some fixed probability distribution with density ρ. In Part I of this work, we established the so‐called local REM conjecture of Bauke, Franz and Mertens. Namely, we showed that, as n → ∞, the suitably rescaled energy spectrum above some fixed scale α tends to a Poisson process with density one, and the partitions corresponding to these energies become asymptotically uncorrelated. In this part, we analyze the number partitioning problem for energy scales α n that grow with n , and show that the local REM conjecture holds as long as n ‐1/4 α n → 0, and fails if α n grows like κ n 1/4 with κ > 0. We also consider the SK‐spin glass model, and show that it has an analogous threshold: the local REM conjecture holds for energies of order o ( n ), and fails if the energies grow like κ n with κ > 0. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Restriction in Hip Internal Rotation is Associated with an Increased Risk of ACL Injury in NFL Combine Athletes: A Clinical and Biomechanical Study (2013)

Objectives:
A deficiency in hip internal rotation secondary to femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) may result in compensatory increases in rotational stresses applied to the ACL with cutting and pivoting activities, thereby increasing the risk of ACL failure in athletes. The purpose of this study was to correlate ACL injury with hip range of motion in a consecutive series of elite, contact athletes and to test the hypothesis that a restriction in the available hip axial rotation in a dynamic in silico model of a simulated pivot landing would increase ACL strain and the risk of ACL rupture.

Plasticity of Skeletal Muscle Mitochondria: Structure and Function (2003)

HOPPELER, H., and M. FLÜCK. Plasticity of Skeletal Muscle Mitochondria: Structure and Function. Med. Sci. Sports Exerc., Vol. 35, No. 1, pp. 95–104, 2003. Mitochondria in skeletal muscle tissue can undergo rapid and characteristic changes as a consequence of manipulations of muscle use and environmental conditions. Endurance exercise training leads to increases of mitochondrial volume of up to 50% in training interventions of a few weeks in previously untrained subjects. Additionally, a shift of substrate metabolism toward a higher reliance on lipids is observed, structurally reflected as a doubling of the intramyocellular lipid content. A similar increase in intramyocellular lipids without an increase in mitochondrial volume is observed as a consequence of a high-fat diet. Strength training has a major impact on muscle myofibrillar volume, however the mitochondrial compartment appears relatively unchanged. Bedrest and microgravity conditions lead to losses of both myofibrillar and mitochondrial volume, likely as a consequence of the decrease in metabolic and mechanical stress on muscle tissue. Permanent severe hypoxia leads to a loss of muscle mass and muscle oxidative capacity; however, hypoxia signaling events are triggered, which lead to distinct reprogramming phenomena of the transcriptome of the muscle cells. The molecular mechanisms that orchestrate the plasticity of skeletal muscle mitochondria are just beginning to unfold. The present data indicate that transcriptional events largely contribute to increases in mitochondrial mass in human skeletal muscle with endurance training. Expression of mitochondrial proteins from the nuclear and mitochondrial genomes is coordinated and involves the nuclear-encoded transcription factors NRF-1 and TFAM. Transcription of genes encoding the mitochondrial proteins involved in beta oxidation can be regulated separately from the genes of the Krebs cycle and the respiratory chain. Transcription factors AP-1 and PPARα/γ and the protein kinase AMPK are signaling molecules that transduce the metabolic and mechanical factors sensed during endurance training into the complex transcriptional adaptations of mitochondrial proteins.

Magnetic force microscopy of thin Permalloy films (1989)

We have imaged naturally occurring domains in soft magnetic films using the force microscope. Classic closure structures were seen in both sputtered and plated Permalloy films. These structures were compared to optical Kerr micrographs of the same films, with generally good correspondence. The force microscope had sufficient sensitivity and resolution to observe magnetic details such as ripple structure and a Bloch line. Clear evidence of tip-induced wall motion was seen when the tip-to-sample separation was less than about 100 nm.

<i>K</i> <sub>13</sub>-lnduced Deformations in a Nematic Liquid Crystal: Experimental Test of the First-Order Theory (1997)

Abstract We consider predictions of the so-called “first-order elastic theory” with non-zero elastic constant K 13 for a nematic cell with tilted molecular orientation. The geometry has been suggested by Faetti to test the validity of different theoretical approaches to the problem of the divergence K 13 elastic term. According to the first-order elastic theory, in which only the first and second derivatives in the elastic free energy are retained, the K 13 term causes deformations at the cell surface when a magnetic field is applied along the initial director n. These deformations can be observed in the measurements of the optical phase retardation; the distinctive feature of the K 13 effect is non-monotonous behavior of the phase retardation when the magnetic field increases. Despite a number of difficulties, the effect can be tested experimentally. We report experimental data on the behavior of the nematic cell with a high pretilt angle and weak anchoring in a tilted magnetic field. These results show no significant deviation in the monotonous behavior of the phase retardation; therefore, the experiment does not confirm the predictions of the first-order theory when K 13 ≠ 0.
