Intérêt et limites de la production de viandes de porc mâle entier (1988)

La castration précoce du porc mâle entraîne des modifications importantes du métabolisme de l’animal, favorisant le dépôt des lipides au détriment de la fixation de protéines. La production de viandes de porc mâle entier permet ainsi une amélioration sensible de l’efficacité alimentaire et de la qualité des carcasses. Les viandes de porc mâle entier se caractérisent par des différences mineures de composition chimique des tissus, des graisses plus insaturées et par la présence des odeurs sexuelles. Le scatol et l’androsténone sont les deux déterminants majeurs de la manifestation de ces odeurs désagréables, mais les importances respectives de chacun de ces 2 composés ne sont pas encore clairement établies. La transformation en produits de charcuterie offre de nombreuses possibilités d’utilisation des viandes défectueuses. Le tri sur la chaîne d’abattage des viandes présentant des odeurs sexuelles n’est possible que de façon grossière et imparfaite. il n’existe pour l’instant aucun moyen de produire des verrats que l’on puisse garantir indemnes de défaut d’odeurs sexuelles. Les voies génétique et immunologique offrent des possibilités intéressantes qu’il faut explorer plus avant pour en démontrer la faisabilité sur les plans zootechnique et économique.
Coordination of short-term and long-term transmission maintenance scheduling in a deregulated system (1998)

We focus on coordination between long-term and short-term transmission maintenance scheduling. The time horizons and increments represent differences between short-term and long-term maintenance scheduling. Long-term maintenance scheduling determines the specific window for maintenance scheduling, and short-term maintenance scheduling determines proper maintenance hours within that window.
Corneal Thickness in Ocular Hypertension, Primary Open-angle Glaucoma, and Normal Tension Glaucoma (1999)

Patients with NTG have a thinner CCT than do patients with POAG or controls. Underestimation of the IOP in patients with POAG who have thin corneas may lead to a misdiagnosis of NTG, while overestimation of the IOP in normal subjects who have thick corneas may lead to a misdiagnosis of OHT.
Effects of Chemically Active Additives on Boundary Lubrication of Steel by Silicones (1954)

Report presenting an investigation of a method of improving the lubricating quality of silicones by providing chemically active additives. The conventional additives were not effective, but more active materials like peroxide did provide effective lubrication.
A superconducting transistor (1978)

A three-film superconducting tunneling device, analogous to a semiconductor transistor is presented, including a theoretical description and experimental results showing a current gain of 4. Much larger current gains are shown to be feasible. Such a development is particularly interesting because of its novelty and the striking analogies with the semiconductor junction transistor.
Provision of anesthesia with single application of lidocaine 2% gel (1999)

A single application of lidocaine 2% gel was a safe and effective alternative to multiple topical anesthetic drops for clear corneal cataract surgery. Lidocaine 2% gel was similar to tetracaine drops in provision of corneal anesthesia and patient comfort, while causing no significant toxicity to the ocular surface.
THE INITIAL GROWTH-RATE OF KREBS-II ASCITES CELL TUMORS IN MICE IS SLOWED DOWN BY THE INCLUSION OF PHYTOHEMAGGLUTININ IN THE DIET (1994)

Twelve days after injection the total number of Krebs II cells in ascites tumours in mice fed on a diet containing kidney bean lectin phytohaemagglutinin (PHA) was about 60% of that in mice fed on a control diet (lactalbumin-LA). The growth characteristics of the tumour cells in PHA- and LA-fed mice were quite different; in mice on the PHA diet the growth rate was initially very slow, but increased greatly between days 5-8 and 9-12, while in mice fed on LA the rate increased progressively during the observation period. It is thus apparent that inclusion of PHA in the diet results in an initial low rate of proliferation of the tumour cells. In LA-fed mice the volume of ascitic fluid measured 7 days after i.p. injection of Krebs II cells was about threefold higher than that in mice maintained on the PHA diet. The results suggest a correlation between exposure to the PHA diet and a rapid event occurring in the host which leads to a transient reduction in cell growth and slows down the production of ascites tumours.
Severe Methemoglobinemia due to Sodium Nitrite Poisoning (2016)

Case. We report a case of severe methemoglobinemia due to sodium nitrite poisoning. A 28-year-old man was brought to our emergency department because of transient loss of consciousness and cyanosis. He was immediately intubated and ventilated with 100% oxygen. A blood test revealed a methemoglobin level of 92.5%. Outcome. We treated the patient with gastric lavage, activated charcoal, and methylene blue (2 mg/kg) administered intravenously. Soon after receiving methylene blue, his cyanosis resolved and the methemoglobin level began to decrease. After relocation to the intensive care unit, his consciousness improved and he could recall ingesting approximately 15 g sodium nitrite about 1 hour before he was brought to our hospital. The patient was discharged on day 7 without neurologic impairment. Conclusion. Severe methemoglobinemia may be fatal. Therefore, accurate diagnosis of methemoglobinemia is very important so that treatment can be started as soon as possible.
Influence of Reaction Temperature, Pretreatment, and a Char Removal System on the Production of Bio-oil from Rice Straw by Fast Pyrolysis, Using a Fluidized Bed (2005)

Rice straw is one of the main renewable energy sources in Korea, and bio-oil from rice straw is produced using a bench-scale plant that is equipped mainly with a fluidized bed and a char removal system. We investigated how the reaction temperature affected the production of bio-oil and the efficiency of a char removal system. To elucidate how the temperature was dependent on the production of bio-oil, experiments were conducted between 400 °C and 600 °C at a feed rate of ∼1 kg/h. The mass balance was established in each experiment, and the produced gas and oil were analyzed with the aid of gas chromatography and a gas chromatography−mass spectroscopy (GC−MS) system. The effect of pretreating rice straw was also investigated by comparing the yield of bio-oil and the content of alkali metals in the bio-oil from the experiments on unwashed rice straw with the corresponding values of washed rice straw. The char removal system is composed of a cyclone and a hot filter. After every experiment, we examined the particle distribution of each char and the content of solids in the bio-oil, to demonstrate the efficiency of the char removal system. In the experiments, we observed that the char removal system and the pretreatment effectively reduced the content of alkali metals in the bio-oil, and that the optimum reaction temperature range for the production of bio-oil is 410−510 °C.
Overexpression of the <i>GbF3</i>′<i>H1</i> Gene Enhanced the Epigallocatechin, Gallocatechin, and Catechin Contents in Transgenic <i>Populus</i> (2020)

<i>Ginkgo biloba</i> L. leaves are a flavonoid resource for the pharmaceutical industry. The flavonoid 3'-hydroxylase (<i>F3'H</i>) is a key enzyme in the flavonoid biosynthesis pathway. However, the role of <i>F3'H</i> in flavonoid biosynthesis and metabolism is unclear. In this study, we characterized and functionally analyzed the ginkgo <i>F3</i>'<i>H</i> gene <i>GbF3</i>'<i>H1</i> that encodes a protein of 520 amino acids. Expression profiling showed that <i>GbF3</i>'<i>H1</i> was highly expressed in the leaves of ginkgo in September. Subcellular localization showed that <i>GbF3</i>'<i>H1</i> occurred predominately in the cytoplasm. Transgenic poplars overexpressing <i>GbF3</i>'<i>H1</i> had more red pigmentation in leaves than did wild-type (WT) plants. Furthermore, the concentrations of epigallocatechin, gallocatechin, and catechin in the downstream products synthesized by flavonoids were significantly higher in the transgenic plants than in the WT plants. These results indicate that the overexpression of <i>GbF3</i>'<i>H1</i> enhances flavonoid production in transgenic plants and provides new insights into flavonoid biosynthesis and metabolism.
Xylitol as a prophylaxis for acute otitis media: Systematic review (2010)

A systematic review was conducted to evaluate evidence regarding xylitol, a sugar alcohol, as a prophylaxis for acute otitis media (AOM) in children. The authors searched PubMed and other databases to identify evidence. Criteria for included studies were: appear in English-language, peer-reviewed journals; at least quasi-experimental designs; use xylitol; and present outcome data. The authors completed evaluation forms for the included studies at all phases of the review. The authors reviewed 1479 titles and excluded 1435. Abstracts and full texts were reviewed for the remaining 44; four randomized controlled trials met inclusion criteria. Xylitol was a generally well accepted prophylaxis for AOM with few side effects when administered via chewing gum or syrup at 10 g/day given five times daily. Meta-analysis revealed significant treatment effects (Risk ratio = 0.68; 95% confidence interval = 0.57 to 0.83). Xylitol can be a prophylaxis for AOM, but warrants further study, especially of vehicles other than chewing gum for young children, and information is needed regarding cost, duration of administration required, and expected long-term effects.
Clinical characteristics of hepatitis B virus rtA181 mutation (2013)

Objective:To analyze the characteristics of the HBV rtA181 mutation,and to provide the theoretical basis for anti-viral treatment.Methods:Eighty-five patients' serum samples of rtA181 mutation were collected,and the liver function,surface antigen,e antigen and HBV DNA at the occurrence of resistance were amalyzed.PCR products were sequenced to determine the resistance mutations and genotypes.Results:Eight different resistance patterns were observed in rtA181 mutations,which were mainly in adefovir(ADV) monotherapy and ADV plus or change LAM groups.There were 13(15.7%) patients with HBV genotype B and 72(84.3%) with genotype C.The genotypes showed no significant difference in rtA181 mutation patterns(P = 0.175).After occurrence rtA181 mutation,ALT,HBV DNA and HBsAg were still significant improved(P value were 0.001,0.013 and 0.001,respectively),and the HBsAg level was different between rtA181T and rtA181V group [(3.40 ± 0.35)lgCOI vs(3.62 ± 0.54)lgCOI,P = 0.030].Conclusion:The rtA181 mutation was relevant to adefovir medication,and has no significant difference in HBV genotype B and C.Some patients still received biochemical and virological response after rtA181 mutation.HBsAg level of rtA181T mutation group was lower than that of rtA181V group.
Vehicle for dynamic calibration of a multiple sensor weigh-in-motion system (2004)

A specially built vehicle was used for the dynamic calibration of Multiple Sensor Weigh-in-Motion systems and for the extensive performance test necessary for the acceptance of WIM-systems for automatic enforcement. The vehicle was built by a consortium led by Kalibra International BV with participation of TNO for the measurement technology and Nooteboom for the construction of the custom-built trailer. The vehicle consists of a three-axle tractor with a five-axle trailer of which one axle is instrumented, four axles are steerable and four axles are liftable. The costs for the WIM related measurement equipment were approximately Euro 300.000. The key specifications of the vehicle require that it should be able to measure axle loads from 5 to 15 tonnes at speeds up to 100 km/h in various axle configurations with an inaccuracy of less than 5%.
Preparation of P-Flavin-Bound and P-Flavin-Free Luciferase and P-Flavin-Bound β-Subunit of Luciferase from Photobacterium phosphoreum1 (1994)

P-flavin-bound luciferase, P-flavin-free luciferase, and P-flavin-bound beta-subunit of luciferase were prepared from Photobacterium phosphoreum using hydrophobic interaction chromatography after conventional purification using DEAE-cellulose chromatography and gel-filtration. The P-flavin-bound luciferase preparation contained about 20% P-flavin-free luciferase not removable by the present procedure. Since the specific activity of the P-flavin-bound luciferase preparation was about 20% of that of the P-flavin-free luciferase, it was concluded that the P-flavin-bound luciferase is an enzyme-product complex and has no more luciferase activity. Unlike the absorption spectrum of FP390 or other flavoproteins, that of P-flavin-bound luciferase preparation has a high absorption peak around 370 nm and resembles the spectrum synthesized by superposing the P-flavin-free luciferase spectrum on the P-flavin-bound beta-subunit spectrum: the P-flavin-bound beta-subunit spectrum is similar to that of FP390, while that of P-flavin-free luciferase has an absorption peak around 370 nm but practically no peak around 450 nm. In addition, P-flavin-free luciferase exhibits a weak but distinct NADH-FMN oxidoreductase activity. These results suggest that a prosthetic group, which absorbs around 370 nm, binds to the luciferase and that this compound is required to yield P-flavin; and they support the hypothesis that the physiological function of bacterial luciferase is to produce P-flavin. Furthermore, the presence of P-flavin-bound beta-subunit of the luciferase in the cell extract supports the hypothesis that physiological function of the lux operon is the biosynthesis of FP390 including its prosthetic group.
A hierarchical expected improvement method for Bayesian optimization (2019)

The Expected Improvement (EI) method, proposed by Jones et al. (1998), is a widely-used Bayesian optimization method, which makes use of a fitted Gaussian process model for efficient black-box optimization. However, one key drawback of EI is that it is overly greedy in exploiting the fitted Gaussian process model for optimization, which results in suboptimal solutions even with large sample sizes. To address this, we propose a new hierarchical EI (HEI) framework, which makes use of a hierarchical Gaussian process model. HEI preserves a closed-form acquisition function, and corrects the over-greediness of EI by encouraging exploration of the optimization space. We then introduce hyperparameter estimation methods which allow HEI to mimic a fully Bayesian optimization procedure, while avoiding expensive Markov-chain Monte Carlo sampling steps. We prove the global convergence of HEI over a broad function space, and establish near-minimax convergence rates under certain prior specifications. Numerical experiments show the improvement of HEI over existing Bayesian optimization methods, for synthetic functions and a semiconductor manufacturing optimization problem.

The software visualization tools are highly required by the industry and research centers. In past, many specific tools have been developed, whose rate of development does not match the rate of requirement of industry. In this paper, we are going to discus the analysis of the similar tools available and design & development of our Software Visualization Tool, which focuses the class diagram with attributes and methods of class of object oriented programming. We design the common algorithm for visualization of object oriented program. The aim of our tool is to simplify the design of complex code, which can be easily maintainable and usable.
A controlled pilot study of the utility of mirror visual feedback in the treatment of complex regional pain syndrome (type 1) (2002)

In early CRPS (type 1), visual input from a moving, unaffected limb re-establishes the pain-free relationship between sensory feedback and motor execution. Trophic changes and a less plastic neural pathway preclude this in chronic disease.
Acridine: a versatile heterocyclic nucleus. (2012)

Acridine is a heterocyclic nucleus. It plays an important role in various medicines. A number of therapeutic agents are based on acridine nucleus such as quinacrine (antimalarial), acriflavine and proflavine (antiseptics), ethacridine (abortifacient), amsacrine and nitracine (anticancer), and tacrine. Acridine is obtained from high boiling fraction of coal tar. It is also obtained in nature from plant and marine sources. Acridine undergoes a number of reactions such as nucleophilic addition, electrophilic substitution, oxidation, reduction, reductive alkylation and photoalkylation. The present review article summarizes the synthesis, reaction, literature review and pharmaceutical importance of acridine.
High Data Density Four-Color Liquid Crystal Display (1982)

A very high resolution and high contrast laser-addressed liquid crystal color display has been developed for use in the acquisition and exploitation of high density alphanumeric and graphic data. The display system consists of two smectic liquid crystal light valves (SLCLV) which are thermally addressed by a single laser selectively. Each light valve is capable of generating 2048 X2048 addressable pixels within a 1 in. X1 in. data format. There are 8 X106 pixels available for data presentation. The laser writing system consists of the laser, a modulator which enables the formation of discrete data elements on the SLCLV, a two-axis galvanometer deflection unit, and beam splitting optics designed to multiplex the writing laser on each SLCLV. A closed-loop galvanometer deflection system can position the focused laser beam to an accuracy of 0.01 % across the screen. The laser focus lens is an f/8.0 telecentric designed to produce a 2.54 cm X2.54 cm (1 in. X1 in.) data format on the SLCLV with spot size less than 10 ,um (0.0004 in.). Color images from each light valve are superimposed onto ' the screen by a wide angle f/8.0 projection lens with 48X magnification which relays the combined color image to a 1.2 m X 1.2 m (48 in. X48 in.) screen with less than 0.1 % of distortion. The possible contrast of the display is up to 60 to 1. The overall dimension of the rear projected color display is 1.52 m X3.2 m X0.74 m (60 in. X52 in. X29 in.).
A memorable year (1988)

Nineteen eighty seven was a memorable year. We witnessed the historic Intermediate Nuclear Force superpower agreement and, seemingly closer to home, we had health personnel talking to the streets in a public manifestation of their concern at the National Health Crisis.
Momordin Ic, a new natural SENP1 inhibitor, inhibits prostate cancer cell proliferation (2016)

SUMO-specific protease 1 (SENP1), a member of the de-SUMOylation protease family, is elevated in prostate cancer (PCa) cells and is involved in PCa pathogenesis. Momordin Ιc (Mc), a natural pentacyclic triterpenoid, inhibited SENP1 in vitro, as reflected by reduced SENP1C-induced cleavage of SUMO2-ΔRanGAP1. Mc also altered the thermal stability of SENP1 in a newly developed cellular thermal shift assay, indicating that Mc directly interacts with SENP1 in PCa cells. Consistent with SENP1 inhibition, Mc increased SUMOylated protein levels, which was further confirmed by the accumulation of two known SUMOylated proteins, hypoxia inducible factor-1a and nucleus accumbens associated protein 1 in PC3 cells. Compared to LNCaP and normal prostate epithelial RWPE-1 cells, PC3 cells had higher levels of SENP1 mRNA and were more sensitive to Mc-induced growth inhibition. Mc also reduced SENP1 mRNA levels in PCa cells. Overexpression of SENP1 rescued PC3 cells from Mc-induced apoptosis. Finally, Mc suppressed cell proliferation and induced cell death in vivo in a xenograft PC3 tumor mouse model. These findings demonstrate that Mc is a novel SENP1 inhibitor with potential therapeutic value for PCa. Investigation of other pentacyclic triterpenoids may aid in the development of novel SENP1 inhibitor drugs.
Diagnosis and management of psoriasis. (2017)

Many patients with psoriasis seek initial evaluation and treatment from their primary care providers. Recognition of psoriasis, as well as its associated medical and psychiatric comorbidities, would facilitate timely diagnosis and appropriate management with effective and safe topical therapies and other medical and psychological interventions, as needed. More severe and refractory cases might warrant referral to a dermatologist for further evaluation and possible systemic therapy.
Probabilistically Safe Robot Planning with Confidence-Based Human Predictions (2018)

In order to safely operate around humans, robots can employ predictive models of human motion. Unfortunately, these models cannot capture the full complexity of human behavior and necessarily introduce simplifying assumptions. As a result, predictions may degrade whenever the observed human behavior departs from the assumed structure, which can have negative implications for safety. In this paper, we observe that how "rational" human actions appear under a particular model can be viewed as an indicator of that model's ability to describe the human's current motion. By reasoning about this model confidence in a real-time Bayesian framework, we show that the robot can very quickly modulate its predictions to become more uncertain when the model performs poorly. Building on recent work in provably-safe trajectory planning, we leverage these confidence-aware human motion predictions to generate assured autonomous robot motion. Our new analysis combines worst-case tracking error guarantees for the physical robot with probabilistic time-varying human predictions, yielding a quantitative, probabilistic safety certificate. We demonstrate our approach with a quadcopter navigating around a human.
Stress Corrosion Cracking of Alloy 600 Using the Constant Strain Rate Test (1981)

Nuclear grade production tubing of Alloy 600 was evaluated for stress corrosion cracking (SCC) susceptibility in high purity water at 365, 345, 325, and 290 C. Reverse tube U-bend specimens provided crack initiation data and constant extension rate tests were employed to determine the crack velocities experienced in the crack propagation stage. Initial results indicate that a linear extrapolation of data received from high temperature tests can be used to predict the service life of steam generator tubing that has been plastically deformed or is continually deforming by “denting.”
Preliminary investigation of the 'freeze-casting' method for forming refractory powders (1954)

An investigation of a method of preparing intricately shaped objects such as turbo-supercharger blades from refractory powders. The method consists of preparing an extremely thick slip of materials like titanium carbide with a small amount of binder, casting the slip in a mold, and freezing to retain the shape of the casting. Results regarding the applicability of the method and factors affecting soundness, are provided.
Encapsulation of the UV Filters Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate and Butyl Methoxydibenzoylmethane in Lipid Microparticles: Effect on in vivo Human Skin Permeation (2011)

The reduced percutaneous penetration of BMDBM and EHMC achieved by the lipid microparticles should preserve the UV filter efficacy and limit potential toxicological risks.
