Treatment of relapsing-remittent multiple sclerosis with recombinant human interferon-alfa-2a: design of a randomised, placebo-controlled, double blind trial in Norway (1996)

A multicentre, randomised, double-blind, placebo controlled study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of 4.5 and 9.0 MIU recombinant human interferon alfa-2a (Roferon-A) given thrice weekly in patients with relapsing-remittent multiple sclerosis is described. The patients are treated for 6 months followed by a 6 months drug-free period. The primary objective is to determine new disease activity analysed by monthly MRI with gadodiamide (GdDTPA-BMA, Omniscan). The study is conducted at eight centers in Norway and is completed in January 1996.
Numerical Simulation of Fluid Flow and Heat Transfer in Funnel Shaped Mold of Thin Slab Continuous Caster (2005)

Thin slab casting is used widely in the world. The control of molten steel flow and solidification in the mold is difficult due to the high casting speed and complicated configuration of the mold. Numerical simulation was carried out to study the fluid flow and heat transfer in the funnel shaped mold. The influence of nozzle design, casting speed and nozzle submersion depth on the flow and temperature fields in the mold was investigated, and guidance for selecting configurations of submerged nozzle was obtained.
Optimum AV Interval in Dual Chamber Pacemakers (1986)

Approximately 50-70% of permanent implanted pacemakers are dual chamber pacemakers. However, little is known concerning adjustment of the atrioventricular (AV) interval to maximize cardiac output. Ten consecutive patients with complete heart block and dual chamber pacemakers were paced at heart rates of 80, 100, and 118 beats/minute and at five AV intervals with simultaneous measurements of cardiac output using pulsed Doppler. Maximum cardiac output occurred at AV intervals of 150 and 200 ms at rates of 80 and 100 beats/minute, and at 150 ms at a rate of 118 beats/minute (p less than .05). An increase in the AV interval to 250 ms resulted in a decrease in cardiac output at all heart rates (p less than .01). We recommend the noninvasive measurement of cardiac output, if available, for determining the optimum AV interval in an individual patient; otherwise, an AV interval of 150 or 200 ms will provide the highest cardiac output in most patients.
Introduction (1997)

Evaluating the success of hospital chaplaincy has been a difficult task, but finally an effective approach has been developed. Ministry of Hospital Chaplains: Patient Satisfaction presents the Patient Satisfaction Instrument for Pastoral Care (PSI) which measures the quality and character of spiritual care and can contribute to the establishment of professional norms. To find out whether specific changes in pastoral practices lead to increased satisfaction among patients, this test can be used periodically. As you will see, this allows managers and department heads to identify and monitor specific functions and areas in which improvement is needed.Ministry of Hospital Chaplains will help you analyze the background variables that are associated with patient satisfaction, the styles of pastoral care that are linked to better hospital outcomes, and the usefulness of different pastoral activities. In the end, you will be able to use empirical evidence to demonstrate to hospital administrators that patients appreciate pastoral care and that chaplains are helping patients recuperate, experience an easier time at the hospital, and get home more quickly. Besides discussing how to evaluate the effectiveness of chaplains, this insightful book explores:
enacting continuous improvement efforts
pastoral care characteristics that predict a patient’s readiness to return home
how attention to details can build protocols that respond to patients
questionnaire responses from 2,000 discharged hospital patients in the U.S. and Canada
why the need to evaluate the benefits of pastoral care exists
the aspects of pastoral care most important to patientsChaplains in general and those in psychiatric hospitals, hospital administrators, managed care directors, and seminary professors of pastoral care will be glad to know that a technique for evaluating pastoral services has finally arrived. The guessing game is over. Now, you will know what your patients think of the services your hospital offers, and you can measure alternative approaches to pastoral care delivery when discontent is registered.
RAP (RNA-Seq Analysis Pipeline) (2021)

Global researches in the field of biology, biotechnology and medicine require utilization of advanced transcriptome analysis to investigate cellular state, physiology and other relevant biological events. In past decade, RNA-seq is emerged as one of the most versatile application of Next-generation Genome Sequencing (NGS) technology and revolutionized the global researches on transcriptome [1]. The high-throughput RNA-seq data continues to provide unparalleled insight into transcriptome complexity [2]. Now one can consider that the “gold standard” for assessing global transcriptome analysis on RNA- seq data is poised to revolutionize our understanding of transcription and posttranscriptional regulation of RNA [3].
Organic Leds: Exciplex‐Forming Co‐host for Organic Light‐Emitting Diodes with Ultimate Efficiency (Adv. Funct. Mater. 39/2013) (2013)

On page 4914, J.-J. Kim and co-workers use an exciplex-forming co-host to create phosphorescent organic light-emitting diodes with ultimate efficiencies reported in terms of the external quantum efficiency (EQE), driving voltage, and efficiency rolloff. The image expresses the formation of an exciplex by the recombination of an electron and a hole, followed by energy transfer from the exciplex-forming co-host to the dopant, and the luminescence of the green light from the dopant.
Multi-Keyword Certificateless Searchable Public Key Authenticated Encryption Scheme Based on Blockchain (2020)

As a quite attractive secure search mechanism in cloud environments, searchable encryption allows encrypted files to be searched by keyword and does not reveal any information about original data files. However, most existing searchable encryption schemes only support single keyword ciphertext retrieval, and they cannot resist against inside keyword guessing attacks. Besides, the previous schemes rarely focus on integrity verification and fair transactions without any third party. Focusing on these problems, we propose a multi-keyword certificateless searchable public key authenticated encryption scheme based on blockchain. We use certificateless cryptosystem to encrypt keywords, which avoids the problems of certificate management in traditional cryptosystem and key escrow in identity-based cryptosystem. Our scheme also supports multi-keyword search, which locates encrypted files precisely and returns the desired files. Moreover, we upload the real encrypted files to the cloud server, while the encrypted indexes are put in blockchain, which ensures the anti-tampering, integrity and traceability of the encrypted indexes. The anti-tampering of blockchain also ensures that users can receive accurate search results without any third party verification. Furthermore, we utilize smart contract to track monetary rewards, which enables fair transactions between data owners and users without any trusted third party. We prove that the proposed scheme is secure against inside keyword guessing attacks in the random oracle model. Finally, our performance evaluation shows that the proposed scheme has higher computational performance than other related schemes.
Stable fitting of 2D curves and 3D surfaces by implicit polynomials (2004)

This work deals with fitting 2D and 3D implicit polynomials (IPs) to 2D curves and 3D surfaces, respectively. The zero-set of the polynomial is determined by the IP coefficients and describes the data. The polynomial fitting algorithms proposed in this paper aim at reducing the sensitivity of the polynomial to coefficient errors. Errors in coefficient values may be the result of numerical calculations, when solving the fitting problem or due to coefficient quantization. It is demonstrated that the effect of reducing this sensitivity also improves the fitting tightness and stability of the proposed two algorithms in fitting noisy data, as compared to existing algorithms like the well-known 3L and gradient-one algorithms. The development of the proposed algorithms is based on an analysis of the sensitivity of the zero-set to small coefficient changes and on minimizing a bound on the maximal error for one algorithm and minimizing the error variance for the second. Simulation results show that the proposed algorithms provide a significant reduction in fitting errors, particularly when fitting noisy data of complex shapes with high order polynomials, as compared to the performance obtained by the abovementioned existing algorithms.
Investigations into flavouring compounds formed in roasted brown mustard (<i>Brassica juncea LINN</i>.) (1981)

Abstract Roasted brown mustard seeds ( Brassica juncea LINN .) form an important condiment. Whereas the flavour of unroasted mustard seed powder is mainly due to isothiocyanates, their roasting brings about changes in its flavour. Twenty four compounds have been identified in roasted mustard which are responsible for its flavour, these include nine carbonyls, six pyrazines, two thiophenes, two amines, one nitrile, two isothiocyanates, one thiocyanate and one alkyl sulphide. The carbonyls were resolved as 2,4‐DNP‐hydrazones by TLC. The quantity of total carbonyls per 5 kg in roasted mustard was 105 mg as compared to 26 mg in unroasted mustard. Non‐carbonyls were separated both by GLC and TLC. By GLC these were characterised by their specific retention times on different columns and on TLC by their R and specific colour reactions. They were further confirmed by their IR spectra. Their quantitative estimation and mechanism of formation is discussed.

An early bandwidth notification (EBN) architecture for dynamic bandwidth environment (2003)

In today's heterogeneous Internet, bandwidth available to TCP flows is often variable. However, current TCP cannot perform optimally under such dynamically varying bandwidth conditions. This paper addresses this problem by introducing a new architecture to improve TCP performance with explicit bandwidth notification (EBN). It uses a normalized bandwidth feedback method to provide accurate and timely bandwidth estimations. Then, a new TCP control algorithm (TCP-EBN) is proposed to give a prompt response to any bandwidth changes. Our simulation results have shown that TCP-EBN performs much better than several other variations of TCP.
Multielement stable resonators containing a variable lens (1987)

A unified formulation for the analysis of linear stable resonators containing a lens of variable focal length, which represents the rod of a solid-state laser, and other intracavity optical systems is presented. The stability, the mode spot sizes, the dynamical stability, and the misalignment sensitivity are investigated, and general properties that are valid for any resonator are derived. Some important practical consequences for resonator design are discussed.

Cefoxitin falsely elevates creatinine levels (1982)

Cefoxitin sodium has been found to act like creatinine in assays for creatinine used by many hospitals. Our in vitro results show that cefoxitin causes an apparent rise in the serum creatinine level; the magnitude of the increase depends on the assay method and the concentration of cefoxitin. Results varied from 1.5 to more than 8.5 times the normal serum creatinine level. Published data from studies of human volunteers show the same effect. In patients with normal renal function, the serum creatinine test is reliable two to four hours following cefoxitin infusion and in mild to moderate renal failure (glomerular filtration rate greater than 30 mL/min), six to eight hours. In severe renal failure, the serum creatinine determination is unreliable. Measurement of urinary creatinine employs similar assays, thus making estimation of creatinine clearance unreliable when the patient is receiving cefoxitin. (<i>JAMA</i>1982;247:205-206)
Numerical estimates for the bulk viscosity of ideal gases (2012)

We estimate the bulk viscosity of a selection of well known ideal gases. A relatively simple formula is combined with published values of rotational and vibrational relaxation times. It is shown that the bulk viscosity can take on a wide variety of numerical values and variations with temperature. Several fluids, including common diatomic gases, are seen to have bulk viscosities which are hundreds or thousands of times larger than their shear viscosities. We have also provided new estimates for the bulk viscosity of water vapor in the range 380–1000 K. We conjecture that the variation of bulk viscosity with temperature will have a local maximum for most fluids. The Lambert-Salter correlation is used to argue that the vibrational contribution to the bulk viscosities of a sequence of fluids having a similar number of hydrogen atoms at a fixed temperature will increase with the characteristic temperature of the lowest vibrational mode.
Surface NMR applied to an electroconductive medium<sup>1</sup> (1995)

Abstract An integrated electromagnetic and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) method is proposed for investigating highly conductive soil areas. Using a simple model of a homogeneous half‐space and the same antenna for both methods, a significant improvement in the NMR data interpretation is obtained. A case study has shown fair agreement between the results from computer modelling, field tests, and data from a nearby observation well. The electromagnetic method and the half‐space model were selected for easy integration into an existing instrument used for the NMR method. A more accurate knowledge of the conductivity distribution with depth will further improve the final result.
Largely enhanced bound-to-miniband absorption in an InGaAs multiple quantum well with short-period superlattice InAlAs/InGaAs barrier (1991)

We report for the first time, the intersubband absorption at 10.7 μm between the localized ground state and the global miniband state in an n-type InAlAs/InGaAs multiple quantum well and short-period superlattice barrier heterostructure. The use of enlarged quantum well width and the superlattice reinforced miniband structure has shown a significant enhancement in the net intersubband absorption. An integrated optical absorption strength of IA=19.5 Abs cm−1 was obtained under the Brewster’s incident angle at T=300 K, which is about five times larger than that of the conventional single bound-to-bound transition in the InAlAs/InGaAs quantum well structure.
"The Decorated Machine" at the Chicago Museum of Science and Industry (1988)

Decorated Machine, a temporary exhibit at Chicago's Museum of Science and Industry, explored the aesthetic standards applied to American-made machines in the 19th century. Two schools of thought emerged: one favored strict functionalism, and another preferred additional design elements consistent with popular taste in other areas. Most of the artifacts displayed were examples of the latter, while a careful balance of viewpoints was presented by the text on freestanding wall panels. The exhibit was tightly focused, and its theme is not trivial. At a time when the direction of the interaction between technology and culture is under vigorous discussion,' this exhibit reminded us that identical standards were applied to objects in both the manufacturing and consuming sectors and that the transition in taste from Victorian embellishment to modern streamlined functionalism (sometimes referred to as machine style) was approximately simultaneous across sectors.
On countermeasures to traffic analysis attacks (2004)

We make three contributions. First, we propose Shannon's perfect secrecy theory as a foundation for developing countermeasures to traffic analysis attacks on information security systems. A system violating the perfect secrecy conditions can leak mission critical information. Second, we suggest statistical pattern recognition as a fundamental technology to test an information system's security. This technology can cover a large category of testing approaches because of statistical pattern recognition's maturity and abundant techniques. Third, researchers have proposed traffic padding as countermeasures to traffic analysis attacks. By applying the proposed information assurance testing framework, we find that constant rate traffic padding does not satisfy Shannon's perfect secrecy conditions because of its implementation mechanism. We design a variant rate traffic padding strategy as an alternative, which is validated by both theoretical analysis and empirical results.

Intrusion Detection System is an activitybased network security system. As the logical supplement of usual passive policy, it is animportant part of whole security system. In this paper, the history status and key technologies of IDS is reviewed, then the future trends in the development of IDS technologies is discussed.
Fecal Microbiota Transplantation (2015)

The risks and advantages of the administration of fecal material of healthy people to patients are heavily debated. In adults, recurrent Clostridium difficile has become an accepted indication. In addition to all of the possible indications, many other questions need to be answered before pediatric indications and recommendations can be established. Optimal donor selection, fresh versus frozen stools versus capsules containing only microbiota, volume, and route of administration are just a few examples of the areas with missing data to allow in formulating recommendations for fecal microbiota or fecal material administration in children. A careful but not-too-complex regulation is the first priority in order to minimize the risk of administration of fecal slurry from unselected donors at home without medical supervision.
