Design and construction of a multipath vessel phantom for interventional training (2010)

This short communication reports on the design and construction of a catheter manipulation skill enhancement phantom for use by residents and fellows outside the clinical environment. The phantom contains a variety of path trajectories and vessel diameter transitions, allowing trainees to manipulate catheters through vessel paths of varying difficulty. The multipath phantom, which is easy to construct and provides easily visualised paths, provides a simple, cost-effective training platform to facilitate and accelerate interventional training.
Wanted (2002)

This paper focuses on the interaction design process as a practice experienced in the commercial business of telecom. Our concern for new and brave design is not mainly aimed at the development of products, but at the way we as interaction designers view our practice. This paper is to be seen as a reflection on interaction design practice through the daily experience of commercial information technology industry.
LOCALIZATION OF RADIOACTIVITY AFTER ADMINISTRATION OF LABELED PROLACTIN PREPARATIONS TO THE FEMALE RAT (1951)

PREVIOUS reports have indicated that anterior pituitary hormone preparations can be labeled with radioactive isotopes (Sonenberg, Keston and Money, 1950 and 1951). In these earlier studies, hormone preparations with adrenocorticotropic activity were labeled with traces of radioactive iodine, I131. Preparations labeled in this manner were then used to investigate the localization of radioactivity after being administered to rats. The technique of trace labeling proteins has been extended to other preparations containing pituitary hormones. This report presents the results of studies with prolactin preparations labeled with radioactive iodine.
Regional Sex Differences in Cell Nuclear Estrogen-Binding Capacity in the Rat Hypothalamus and Preoptic Area* (1988)

Estrogen binding was compared in cell nuclear KCl extracts from microdissected brain regions of gonadectomized-adrenalectomized male and female rats treated with a near-saturating dose of 17 beta-estradiol. Injection of 3.6 or 36.0 micrograms 17 beta-estradiol/kg BW, iv, 1 h before death resulted in a higher level of estrogen binding in the periventricular preoptic area (PVPOA), medial preoptic area, and ventromedial nucleus of the hypothalamus (VMN) of the female than in comparable tissue samples from the male. No significant sex differences in nuclear estrogen binding were observed in the arcuate-median eminence region, bed nucleus of the stria terminalis, or corticomedial amygdala. Scatchard analysis of saturation binding data revealed that the sex differences in cell nuclear estrogen binding in the PVPOA, medial preoptic area, and VMN reflect a difference in binding capacity rather than binding affinity. These in vitro biochemical findings were confirmed by autoradiographic studies. Gonadectomized-adrenalectomized animals were injected with 125I-labeled 11 beta-methoxy-16 alpha-iodoestradiol (2.0 micrograms/kg BW). Thin frozen sections (10 microns) through the preoptic area and hypothalamus were thaw-mounted onto microscope slides, then exposed against LKB Ultrofilm for 21 days. The autoradiographic images exhibited similar silver distributions and densities in males and females in the arcuate-median eminence region bed nucleus of the stria terminalis, and amygdala. However, 11 beta-[125I]methoxy-16 alpha-iodoestradiol uptake was lower in males than in females in the PVPOA and VMN. These results suggest that sex differences in responsiveness to estrogen stimulation in the rat may be due in part to sex differences in estrogen-binding capacity in specific regions of the hypothalamus that play important roles in the control of pituitary function and reproductive behaviors.
Tailored xerogel-based sensor arrays and artificial neural networks yield improved O2 detection accuracy and precision (2006)

The objective of this research is to develop arrays of tuned chemical sensors wherein each sensor element responds to a particular target analyte in a unique manner. By creating sol-gel-derived xerogels that are co-doped with two luminophores at a range of molar ratios, we can form suites of sensor elements that can exhibit a continuum of response profiles. We trained an artificial neural network (ANN) to "learn" to identify the optical outputs from these xerogel-based sensor arrays. By using the ANN in concert with our tailored sensor arrays we obtained a 5-10 fold improvement in accuracy and precision for quantifying O2 in unknown samples. We also explored the response characteristics of these types of sensor elements after they had been contacted with rat plasma/blood. Contact with plasma/blood caused approximately 15% of the luminophore molecules within the xerogels to become non-responsive to O2. This behavior is consistent with rat albumin blocking certain pore sub-populations within the mesoporous xerogel matrix thereby limiting O2 access to the luminophores.

TEXTILE TECHNOLOGY Feasibility of Visible and Near Infrared Spectroscopy in the Determination of Cotton Trash Components (2013)

The co-occurrence of different types of trash in commercial cotton bales compromises the value of cotton, requires more cleaning, and influences the quality of yarn and fabric. To meet the challenge of determining the trash content, two testing methods (i.e., High Volume Instrument [HVI™] and Shirley analyzer [SA]) have been utilized by trade and regulatory offices and laboratories in the cotton industry. However, these methods only report the trash amounts in total, instead of the content for individual trash components. Likely, the complexity of the co-existence of various trash types, including leaves (leaf and bract), seed coats, hulls, and stems, contributes to this limitation. To address this problem, a set of mixtures with known amounts of both clean lint fibers and individual trash components (leaves, seed coats, hulls, stems, and sand/soil) was prepared and the visible/NIR spectral response was related to corresponding trash contents. Comparison of model performances revealed the feasibility of visible/NIR technique in the precise and quantitative determination of total trash, leaf trash, and non-leaf trash components.
Phase Structures of U(2) Gauge Theory with $\theta$-Term in 2 dimensions (1997)

U(2) lattice gauge theory with $\\theta$-term in 2 space-time dimensions is investigated. It has non-Abelian real action and Abelian( U(1) type) imaginary action. The imaginary action is defined as the standard $\\theta$-term. As the effect of renormalization group (RG) transformation, non-Abelian imaginary action is induced. After many steps of RG transformation, non-Abelian part will die away. After several steps of RG transformations, renormalized action approaches so called heat kernel action. Phase transition is found at $\\theta
The relationship between worm burden and levels of a circulating antigen (CAA) of five species of<i>Schistosoma</i>in mice (1995)

This study examines the ability of an assay which measures the amount of a schistosome specific antigen (CAA) in the host circulation to reliably reflect relative worm burden. Mice were infected with 5 species of schistosome with a range of infection dose. The levels of serum CAA increased during schistosome maturation. In all species tested CAA levels correlated well with adult worm burden once the parasites achieved sexual maturity and remained relatively stable during the establishment of egg production. The amount of CAA produced varied between species but within each species CAA levels were proportional to worm numbers: no density-dependent effects on CAA levels were observed even when mice carried worm burdens that were very large relative to host size. T-cell deprivation of the host had no effect on the CAA/worm burden relationship in either Schistosoma mansoni or S. haematobium infections and the CAA equilibrium was unaltered in intact mice when reduction of worm fecundity occurred. These data support the use of the CAA as an accurate and robust estimate of relative schistosome burden in man.

Meeting educational needs of commercial plant breeders (1981)

We have approached the topic from our experience of the past 4 years in two ways: (1) By polling our plant breeders on their post‐facto educational needs and (2) by analyzing our on‐the‐job training efforts. Our data include information from our staff trained in plant breeding from 22 universities and with the following terminal degrees: 23 Ph.D., 12 M.S., and 10 B.S. Nearly all are recent graduates who staff 10 corn stations, two soybean stations, a tissue culture laboratory and headquarters. Of 12 business topics, the most needed are (1) communication and interpersonal skills for managers (2) management principles (3) supervising and motivating personnel (4) time management and (5) financial management for non‐financial managers. Our training efforts (11 meetings, 163 topics) have been 44% on plant breeding and genetics, 36% on research station management, and 20% on financial and personnel management techniques. Most popular topics were (1) management development program (2) creativity (3) participatory sessions on planting, pollinating, and harvesting (4) basic management skills and (5) time management. The plant breeder is the logical leader of any team to improve germplasm, and is the agricultural scientist most likely to gain administrative responsibilities; thus, management training should be required in plant breeding curricula.
Co-operative effects of an inhibitor NH4 and of an activator K+ on the acid secretory rate in frog gastric mucosa in vitro - A multi-enzyme system. (1976)

Effects of concentrations of ammonium ion (NH+4) and potassium ion (K+) in the serosal solution on the acid secretory rate by bullfrog gastric mucosa were studied at near saturating substrates concentrations in vitro. The hydrogen chloride production system was treated as a multi-enzyme system. From kinetic analyses, the system was found to have co-operativities with regard to the activator K+ and the inhibitor NH+4. The co-operativity of the inhibitor increased as the K+ concentration increased. The co-operativity of K+ increased as the NH+4 concentration increased. Considering the fact that chloride ion (Cl-) and thiocyanate ion (SCN-) do not have co-operativities, it was suggested that SCN- inhibits the Cl- transport chain reaction and that NH+4 inhibits the hydrogen (H+) transport chain reaction. It was also discussed that NH+4 and SCN- were not uncoupler-type inhibitors like 2, 4-dinitrophenol.
PHOSPHOLIPIDS OF BOVINE SPERMATOZOA AND SEMINAL PLASMA (1967)

Summary. Spermatozoal and seminal plasma lipids of fourteen individual bulls were separated by column chromatography into neutral lipid and several phospholipid fractions. Elution progress was monitored by thin-layer chromatography. Each phospholipid constituent was determined by phosphorus analysis. Total lipid, cholesterol and plasmalogen contents were determined. The fatty acids and aldehydes of the choline and ethanolamine phosphatide fractions were analysed by gasliquid chromatography. The spermatozoal phospholipid comprised 35·6% phosphatidyl choline, 28% phosphatidal choline, 20% phosphatidyl ethanolamine, 7·2% phosphatidal ethanolamine and 9·1% sphingomyelin. The seminal plasma phospholipid comprised 30% phosphatidyl choline, 23·6% phosphatidal choline, 10·5% phosphatidyl ethanolamine, 16·3% phosphatidal ethanolamine, 14·1% sphingomyelin and 5·4% polyglycerol phosphatide. Myristaldehyde and palmitaldehyde were the only aldehydes identified in the choline and ethanolamine phosphatide fractions. Docosahexaenoic acid constituted a large portion of the fatty acids of spermatozoal choline phosphatide.
Gradient projection based algorithm for large scale real time model predictive control (2011)

In model predictive control (MPC), the quadratic program (QP) is solved at each sampling time, thus a fast and effective on-line solver must be used for short sampling times. The multi-parametric quadratic programming (mp-QP) (explicit solution) is impossible to use for larger systems due to the memory limitation. The objective of this paper is to present an effective on-line solver for large-scale simple constrained quadratic programming which arises in the MPC framework. The presented algorithm uses the combination of gradient and Newton projection method to obtain super-linear convergent algorithm which is very close to optimum in very few iterations when many constraints are active in optimum and it does not involve the exact computation of the Newton step at each iteration.

A radioactive nuclear beam of 10.2 MeV $^{6}\mathrm{He}$, with typical intensity 5\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}${10}^{4}$ ${\mathrm{s}}^{\mathrm{\ensuremath{-}}1}$, was produced via the $^{9}\mathrm{Be}$${(}^{7}$Li${,}^{6}$He${)}^{10}$B reaction and elastically scattered from targets of $^{12}\mathrm{C}$, $^{\mathrm{nat}}\mathrm{Ni}$, and $^{197}\mathrm{Au}$. Scattering from C and Ni was observed through sufficiently large angles (up to 60\ifmmode^\circ\else\textdegree\fi{} c.m. and 85\ifmmode^\circ\else\textdegree\fi{} c.m., respectively) to show large deviations from Rutherford scattering. The Au target gave, as expected, pure Rutherford scattering. Optical potential previously used for low-energy $^{6}\mathrm{Li}$ and $^{8}\mathrm{Li}$ ions generally accounted for the shapes of the angular distributions but, for $^{12}\mathrm{C}$, predict oscillations not present in the $^{6}\mathrm{He}$ data. $^{4}\mathrm{He}$ optical potentials predict much smaller deviations from Rutherford scattering than those observed.
Use of a Rhesus Plasmodium cynomolgi Model to Screen for Anti-Hypnozoite Activity of Pharmaceutical Substances (2012)

There remains a need for new drugs to prevent relapse of Plasmodium vivax or P. ovale infection. The relapsing primate malaria P. cynomolgi has been used for decades to assess drugs for anti-hypnozoite activity. After sporozoite inoculation and blood-stage cure of initial parasitemia with chloroquine, rhesus macaques were treated on subsequent relapses with chloroquine in conjunction with test regimens of approved drugs. Tested drugs were selected for known liver or blood-stage activity and were tested alone or in conjunction with low-dose primaquine. Tinidazole and pyrazinamide prevented relapse when used in conjunction with chloroquine and low-dose primaquine. Triamterene and tinidazole administered without primaquine achieved radical cure in some animals. All other tested drugs or combinations failed to prevent relapse. The rhesus macaque-P. cynomolgi model remains a useful tool for screening drugs with anti-hypnozoite activity. Tinidazole and pyrazinamide require further investigation as agents to enable dose reduction of primaquine.
Efficacy of <i>Beauveria bassiana</i> (Balsamo) Vuillemin isolates for control of stored‐grain pests (1998)

Abstract: Seventy two isolates of Beauveria bassiana or Metarhizium anisopliae were screened for control of Sitophilus oryzae, S. zeamais (Col., Curculionidae), and Rhyzopertha dominica (Col., Bostrychidae). Beauveria bassiana isolates produced highest mortalities against all three hosts. Ten isolates (all B. bassiana ) were selected for further experimentation in the second phase of selection process. Bioassays were conducted by inoculating 50 adult insects of each species, maintained at 26 ± 0.5°C, 70 ± 10% RH, 12 h photophase, for 10 days. The cumulative mortalities after 10 days exposure and lethal time for 50% of the population (LT50) were calculated and compared. S. oryzae and S. zeamais were less susceptible to B. bassiana isolates than R. dominica , which was completely killed by several isolates. Isolate 476 was the most virulent to S. oryzae , and isolate 604 was the most virulent to S. zeamais. Isolate 604 was best overall, but isolates 476 and 643 should also be considered as control agents for stored‐grain pests. A combination of isolates may be advantageous if mixed pest infestations occur.
Armorless Cable Manufacture (1964)

The major portion of the cable used in an SD system is of an armorless coaxial design, with a strength member within the inner conductor structure. It is fabricated in continuous 20-nautical mile repeater sections and is stored, when finished, in individual pans. Every section is therefore available in any sequence to facilitate the most nearly ideal ship loading schedule. This paper summarizes the process experience gained during the cable design and development program, details the processes involved in the purchase of cable raw material, discusses the manufacturing operation, and includes a measure of cable reproducibility for the Baltimore plant of the Western Electric Company.
DETECTION OF HEPATITIS C VIRUS cDNA SEQUENCE BY THE POLYMERASE CHAIN REACTION IN HEPATOCELLULAR CARCINOMA TISSUES (1990)

We found the presence of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection in liver tissues of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients who had antibodies to HCV but no serological markers for hepatitis B virus infection by the sensitive reverse transcription/polymerase chain reaction (R/PCR) method. The primers used were derived from the non-structural (NS) 3 and/or the structural (C/E) region. Amplified cDNA sequences of HCV were detected in either cancerous or non-cancerous portion of liver tissues from four out of eight HCC patients with primers of NS3 region. Similar but less efficient results were obtained with primers of C/E region. These results indicate that HCV persists in the liver tissue of HCC. A possible role of persistent infection of HCV for the development of HCC is discussed.
