Depletion of hepatic antioxidants during granulomatous inflammation in the rat and local anti-inflammatory effects of free radical scavengers. (1980)

Changes in hepatic oxidative events have been studied during extrahepatic granulomatous inflammation in the rat, together with the local anti-inflammatory effects of scavengers of reactive oxygen species. During remote localized inflammation in the rat, we observed increased hepatic lipid peroxidation and reduced hepatic levels of protecting substances such as ascorbic acid, catalase and reduced glutathione, the specific substrate for the peroxide-metabolizing enzyme, glutathione peroxidase. The levels of superoxide dismutase did not alter significantly during the period of investigation (7 days). The half-life of aminopyrine was longer in rats with a stronger inflammatory response. In addition, catalase and the anti-oxidants, alpha-tocopherol and propyl gallate, inhibited granuloma development on local injection during the acute phase inflammation. Superoxide dismutase alone was devoid of anti-inflammatory effects, but markedly enhanced the effect of catalase. Scavengers of hydroxyl radicals and of singlet oxygen failed to display anti-inflammatory activity. The results indicate that peroxides may act as mediators of inflammation and that increased lipid peroxidation is not limited to the site of inflammation.
Expression of the intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) in human renal allografts and cultured human tubular cells (1992)

The in vivo distribution of the intercellular adhesion molecule ICAM-1 was investigated in renal tissue specimens obtained from 17 renal allotransplanted patients, nine normal kidneys (controls), seven native kidneys, nine patients with mesangioproliferative glomerulonephritis, and nine patients with active extracapillary glomerulonephritis. Biopsies from patients with signs of acute rejection showed a significant increase in ICAM-1 expression in the tubular epithelium (P less than 0.05). In normal kidneys (controls) ICAM-1 expression was found in endothelial cells; additional expression in the tubular epithelial cells was induced in patients with extracapillary glomerulonephritis. The in vitro expression of ICAM-1 was examined in cultured human tubular cells after stimulation with gamma-interferon and interleukin-1, treatment with cyclosporin and/or verapamil and coculture with allogenic mononuclear cells. An increased ICAM-1 expression was demonstrated by coculture with allogenic mononuclear cells and after stimulation with gamma-interferon and/or interleukin-1. Cyclosporin or verapamil induced no changes. Our results give support to the hypothesis that ICAM-1 upregulation is important in immune interactions such as allograft rejection. Furthermore, the in vitro model indicates that ICAM-1 expression is regulated by gamma-interferon and interleukin-1 produced by activated T lymphocytes and macrophages.

Rethinking Youth Transitions: Policy Transfer and New Exclusions in New Labour's New Deal (2002)

The central argument of this paper is that the policies developed by New Labour to tackle social exclusion amongst young people in particular are aligned with US workfare policies. In being so aligned they disclose the neo-liberal 'drivers' of reform which mark New Labour's understanding of social exclusion as a distinct rupture with the European social exclusion tradition. Considerable benefits of workfare that accrue to labour supply and to wage regulation are outlined to exemplify these 'drivers'. Through reviews of the effects of welfare-to-work programmes, and of independent evaluations of the New Deal for Young People (NDYP), the paper suggests that its impact upon exclusion, even in its narrower senses, is limited. It goes on to query some fundamental assumptions about how young people are understood to make 'transitions' into financial independence as employees, looking both at persistent inequalities, notably of race, class and disability, and at new forms of inequality that depend, in much more complex ways, on how young people are able (or unable) to use their powers as students, part-time workers and members of social groups, to adapt to changing and highly locally variable market conditions. These trends, it is argued, may explain take-up and outcome patterns in NDYP. The paper concludes that there is a serious question as to whether it can ever 'lift' the most marginalized groups out of exclusion, and that such schemes may be positively inimical to doing so, particularly if they become 'joined up' with policies that criminalize young people who are regarded as being at risk. In this sense, the (characteristically US) economic case for welfare-to-work schemes does not accord with the (characteristically European) social case for inclusion through relief of poverty and honouring rights of citizenship.
NON‐INVASIVE MONITORING OF INTRACRANIAL PRESSURE‐FACT OR FANCY? (1987)

Ladd and Wright fontanelle pressure meters were applied to the heads of 18 babies, and simultaneously the intracranial pressure was monitored directly. Increasing the force with which the meters were applied caused a linear increase in registered fontanelle pressure. No universally optimal application force could be determined. To obviate this, application force was increased until the fontanelle pressure was calibrated with directly measured intracranial pressure. Subsequent variations in intracranial pressure were significantly correlated to fontanelle pressure, but not closely enough for clinical reliability. The correlation was similar if the meter was affixed instead directly to the scalp with collodion gel, and the clinical reliability improved. Applanation fontanometers are strongly affected by variations in the method by which they are applied and may not be a reliable reflection of intracranial pressure. If directly affixed to the scalp, however, they may yield clinically useful data.

Ethanol Inhibition of Cell-Mediated Lysis of Antibody-Sensitized Target Cells at a Calcium-Dependent Step (1989)

Ethanol inhibits antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity in a dose-dependent manner. The inhibitory effect of ethanol was reversed by the addition of excess calcium or calcium ionophore A23187. Excess calcium at 4-8 mM concentrations was required to reverse 50% of the inhibition caused by ethanol. In seven of nine experiments, 16 mM excess calcium completely reversed the inhibition and produced greater lysis than the control. Excess calcium in the absence of ethanol induced a dose-dependent increase in lytic activity by the spleen cells. However, the reversal of inhibition by ethanol could not be attributed to a simple additive effect resulting from the increased cytolytic capacity of the lymphocytes in the presence of excess Ca2+. Ionophore A23187 at 1 microM also partially reversed the inhibitory effect caused by ethanol. Ionophore alone did not potentiate lytic activity. When target cells were not sensitized with antibody, excess calcium had no effect on the lysis of target cells in the presence of ethanol-treated or untreated lymphocytes. These data suggest that ethanol inhibits antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity at a calcium-dependent step.
Signal/noise KLT based approach for enhancing speech degraded by colored noise (2002)

A signal/noise KLT based approach for enhancing speech degraded by colored noise is proposed. The noisy speech frames are classified into speech-dominated frames and noise-dominated frames. In the speech-dominated frames, the signal KLT matrix is used and in the noise-dominated frames, the noise KLT matrix is used. The approach does not require noise whitening and hence works well even with narrowband noise. A two-dimensional objective measure which captures both the speech distortion and the noise shaping characteristics of the algorithm is proposed. This measure indicates that the proposed method performs better noise shaping than a modified version of the signal subspace approach proposed by Ephraim and Van Trees and the standard spectral subtraction method. Informal listening tests show that the proposed algorithm does not suffer from the problem of residual musical noise and performs better noise masking than the signal subspace approach.
Electronic structure of double-layer graphene tubules (1993)

The electronic structure of coaxial, graphene double-layer tubules is predicted for various combinations of metallic and insulating constituent inner and outer monolayers, depending on the diameter and chirality of the tubule. For the examples chosen, some of the energy bands of the inner and outer tubules are coupled to each other by commensurate interlayer interactions. Nevertheless, because of symmetry, the energy bands of metallic monolayer tubules remain metallic even after interlayer interactions are considered. The possible implications of these results on molecular metal-insulator devices are discussed.
A design and implementation of active network socket programming (2003)

The concept of programmable nodes and active networks introduces programmability into communication networks. Code and data can be sent and modified on their routes to the destinations. Various research groups have designed and implemented their own design platforms. Each design has its own benefits and drawbacks. Moreover, there exists an interoperability problem among platforms. As a result, we introduce a concept that is similar to network socket programming. We intentionally establish a set of simple interfaces for programming active applications. This set of interfaces, known as active network socket programming (ANSP), will be working on top of all other execution environments in the future. Therefore, the ANSP offers a concept that is similar to "write once, run everywhere". It is an open programming model that active applications can work on all execution environments. It solves the heterogeneity within active networks. This is especially useful when active applications need to access all regions within a heterogeneous network to deploy a special service at critical points or to monitor the performance of the entire networks. Instead of introducing a new platform, our approach provides a thin, transparent layer on top of existing environments that can be easily installed for all active applications.
Subchondral bone in osteoarthritis: a biologic link with articular cartilage leading to abnormal remodeling (2003)

These findings have an immediate implication for research because new tools need to be developed to study the subchondral bone-cartilage functional unit. Moreover, it could lead to a possible cure for osteoarthritis because this pathology should be considered both a bone and cartilage disease.
Effect of the Power Cable on Data Transmission Over a Pulsewidth-Modulated Network (2013)

Power line communication (PLC) technology has proved itself in the last decade as an interesting solution for data transmission and communication in domestic application. Lately, this technology has been considered as a potential solution for monitoring and diagnosis of a motor-fed inverter setup. Information issued from sensors would be sent via power cables back to the controller despite the harsh environment and the switching of the inverter. This paper discusses the use of PLC technology over a pulsewidth modulation network by underlining the effect of the power cable length and the inverter switching on communication. A new approach based on the measurement of scattering parameters is used for this purpose, and the effect of the cable length is analyzed. It is shown that, for long distances, the PLC technology may not be effective, and hence, it is not possible to use power cables for communication.

Hybrid Resistance to Parental Marrow Grafts: Association with the K Region of H-2 (1964)

Bone marrow of homozygous C57BL/10 donors was tested for growth in x-irradiated isogenic recipient mice, in (C57BL/10 X 129) F(1) mice, and in F(1) hybrids from congenic parents differing respectively, for an allelic substitution at one of the histocompatibility loci H-1, H-2, H-3, and H-4. All the tested H-2 heterozygotes resisted the transplantation of 10(4) parental marrow cells, whereas H-2 homozygotes were nonresistant, in spite of heterozygosity, at one or several other H loci. Findings in F(1) hybrids between C57BL/10 mice and mice carrying alleles resulting from crossing-over within the H-2 locus demonstrated that the hybrid resistance was associated with heterozygosity in the K region, but not in the D region of the H-2 locus.

Infrared and visual image fusion enhancement by dual-transform (2013)

This paper proposed a novel method by studying the characteristics of visual,infrared image /video and the problems introduced from the fusion processing.The proposed method enhanced the illumination of the visual image firstly,and then used curvelet and wavelet dual-transform to save the edge information and preserve the details of the visual and the infrared images during the fusion enhancement.Experimental results show that the proposed method enhances human perception for image / video and improves camouflaged target's detection and location in complex environment.It is proved to be a high quality and high efficiency image / video fusion method with the characters of higher PSNR and less artifact compared with the other state-of-the-art methods.
Satiety role of the small intestine examined in sham-feeding rhesus monkeys. (1981)

A sham-feeding preparation utilizing rhesus monkeys was employed to investigate the anatomical site of origin of satiety signals in the gastrointestinal tract. A series of experiments in which food was diverted from the stomach, the small intestine, or both demonstrated that (a) food acting at the pregastric level is not sufficient to produce normal-sized meals, (b) the accumulation of food in the small intestine is necessary to produce normal-sized meals, and (c) a potent preabsorptive or postabsorptive satiety signal originates at the intestinal level. This unidentified satiety signal is sufficient to elicit satiety, can be dissociated from gastric emptying, and does not require the presence of gastric distention to operate.
Detergent Tabs - One Year after their Pan-European Launch (2000)

In recent years, tablets have gained a big share of the European market in various product categories such as automatic dishwashing detergents and bleach boosters. The pan-European launch of detergent tabs from late 1997 marked the creation of a new segment. It is not yet possible to predict the future size in the tablet segment in the heavy duty detergent market.
Seismic trace interpolation using half-step prediction filters (1999)

Abstract A method to perform seismic trace interpolation known as the Spitz method handles spatially aliased events. The Spitz method uses the unit-step prediction filter to estimate data spaced at Delta x/2. The missing data are obtained by solving a complex linear system of equations whose unknowns are the coefficients at the interpolated location. We attack this problem by introducing a half-step prediction filter that makes trace interpolation significantly more efficient and easier for implementation. A complex half-step prediction filter at frequency f/2 is computed in the least-squares sense to predict odd data components from even ones. At the frequency f, the prediction operator is shrunk and convolved with the input data spaced at Delta x to predict data at Delta x/2 directly. Instead of solving two systems of linear equations, as proposed by Spitz, only a system for the half-step prediction filter has to be solved. Numerical examples using a marine seismic common-midpoint (CMP) gather and a poststack seismic section were used to illustrate the new interpolation method.
3D Object Recognition in Cluttered Scenes with Local Surface Features: A Survey (2014)

3D object recognition in cluttered scenes is a rapidly growing research area. Based on the used types of features, 3D object recognition methods can broadly be divided into two categories-global or local feature based methods. Intensive research has been done on local surface feature based methods as they are more robust to occlusion and clutter which are frequently present in a real-world scene. This paper presents a comprehensive survey of existing local surface feature based 3D object recognition methods. These methods generally comprise three phases: 3D keypoint detection, local surface feature description, and surface matching. This paper covers an extensive literature survey of each phase of the process. It also enlists a number of popular and contemporary databases together with their relevant attributes.
New Ways to Probe the Molecules of Life (1998)

AFTER THE GENOME IV MEETINGJACKSON HOLE, WYOMING-- Almost 200 years after Lewis and Clark first glimpsed the Grand Tetons, a posse of about 80 scientists gathered here from 10 to 14 October for an exploration of their own. At the annual After the Genome meeting, they discussed how to get from genomic information to an understanding of biology. Highlights include powerful computer programs for modeling human diseases, new techniques for protein analysis, and stabilizing coats for individual protein molecules.
Cholinergic innervation of the smooth muscle cells in the choroid coat of the chick eye and its development (1987)

The mechanical and pharmacological characteristics of the cholinergic activation of the smooth muscle in the choroidal coat of the chick eye have been assessed in tissues isolated from birds 1 d posthatching using histological, electrophysiological, and immunological techniques. The choroidal coat is innervated by a dense network of cholinergic nerves that make en passant synapses with smooth muscle. Thirty-hertz stimulation of these nerves initiates red blood cell (RBC) movement in the vessels of the choroidal coat, and this activation is blocked by muscarinic ACh receptor (AChR) antagonists. Force-transducer recordings of nerve-induced contractions of this tissue have a slow onset and relaxation time course similar to those of smooth muscle contractions. Furthermore, since nearly half the cholinergic neurons innervating the choroid die within a defined period during development, the onset and pharmacology of this innervation were studied during embryogenesis. With a neural cytoskeletal-like immunostain, we demonstrated that choroid axons are present in peripheral tissue by stage (St) 29. Extracellular electrical recordings made after choroid nerve stimulation allowed us to distinguish axon from muscle responses. These procedures permitted us to examine the time course of the innervation of the smooth muscle. However, to visualize the postsynaptic smooth muscle response, it was necessary to treat the isolated preparation with tetraethylammonium chloride (TEA). Accordingly, TEA-enhanced electrical smooth muscle responses to single-nerve stimuli could be recorded only after St 39. Treatment of the nerve-muscle preparation with prostigmine allowed the recording of TEA-enhanced electrical activity as early as St 36 (1 d after the beginning of the normal choroid neuron death period). This synaptic activation was completely blocked by atropine or quinuclidinyl benzylate (QNB), and was not affected by alpha bungarotoxin (alpha BTX), indicating that, as in the posthatching tissue, neuromuscular transmission is mediated by muscarinic receptors. These results show that cholinergic muscarinic activation of the choroidal coat can occur as early as St 36, but that it is not as efficient as transmission later in embryogenesis.
The current status of radioiodinated metaiodobenzylguanidine therapy of neuro-endocrine tumors. (1995)

The avidity of many metastatic pheochromocytomas and neuroblastomas for metaiodobenzylguanidine (MIBG) observed at diagnostic scintigraphy has led to attempts to treat these lesions with large doses of MIBG. We and others have achieved therapeutic responses with 131I-MIBG (usually partial) in about a third of malignant pheochromocytomas. A small but important subgroup of advanced, poor prognosis neuroblastomas which have been resistant to all other therapies have also shown responses including occasional long-term survival (> 5 years) and apparent complete responses to 131I-MIBG. Because the physical properties of 131I are suboptimal for the delivery of therapeutic radiation to bone marrow micrometastases, a frequent problem in neuroblastoma, we have performed preliminary studies in poor prognosis Stage III and VI neuroblastoma using 125I-MIBG which has more satisfactory emissions. This has led to prolonged tumor stabilization and survival (> 19 to > 52 months) in 5 of 10 patients. MIBG radiopharmaceutical treatment of neuroendocrine tumor patients must still be considered an experimental but nevertheless promising treatment modality.
