Technical note: A new facility for continuous respiration measurements in lactating cows (2009)

An open-circuit indirect calorimetry system consisting of 4 climate-controlled respiration chambers for cattle has been constructed and validated. The system allows for the continuous monitoring of O(2), CO(2), and CH(4) concentrations in chamber air, and the simultaneous determination of feed and water intake, overall physical activity, position changes, standing and lying times, and animal behavior. For complete balance trials, feces, urine, and milk can be collected quantitatively. Most importantly, lactating cows can be milked in the chamber, and blood samples can be drawn from permanent catheters without disruption of the measurements. The investigator, on entering the chamber, wears a facemask connected to the ambient air during the whole milking process. Data are routed to a data acquisition system with appropriate data evaluation software developed in our research unit. Thus, dynamic changes of the above-named parameters during the course of the day or of longer time periods can be monitored. Such data are critical for understanding the complex regulation and interplay of feed intake, energy metabolism, climatic conditions, and milk production.
Identification of a Novel PSD-95/Dlg/ZO-1 (PDZ)-like Protein Interacting with the C Terminus of Presenilin-1 (1999)

Presenilin-1 (PS-1) is the most causative Alzheimer gene product, and its function is not well understood. In an attempt to elucidate the function of PS-1, we screened a human brain cDNA library for PS-1-interacting proteins using the yeast two-hybrid system and isolated a novel protein containing a PSD-95/Dlg/ZO-1 (PDZ)-like domain. This novel PS-1-associated protein (PSAP) shares a significant similarity with a Caenorhabditis elegans protein of unknown function. Northern blot analysis revealed that PSAP is predominantly expressed in the brain. Deletion of the first four C-terminal amino acid residues of PS-1, which contain the PDZ domain-binding motif (Gln-Phe-Tyr-Ile), reduced the binding activity of PS-1 toward PSAP 4-fold. These data suggest that PS-1 may associate with a PDZ-like domain-containing protein in vivo and thus may participate in receptor or channel clustering and intracellular signaling events in the brain.
Septo-Hippocampal Networks in Chronically Epileptic Rats: Potential Antiepileptic Effects of Theta Rhythm Generation (2006)

A series of experiments was carried out testing the hypothesis that the septal region decreases the hippocampal susceptibility to hyperexcitability states through theta rhythm generation. Medial septal neurons were simultaneously recorded with hippocampal field potentials to investigate the septo-hippocampal function in the pilocarpine model of chronic epilepsy. The theta rhythm from chronically epileptic rats had lower amplitude (20% less) and higher frequency than controls (from 3.38 to 4.25 Hz), suggesting that both generator and pacemaker structures are affected during the epileptic process. At the cellular level, the group of rhythmically bursting firing medial septal neurons, in the epileptic animals, significantly and chronically increased their firing rates in relation to controls (from 13.86 to 29.14 spikes/s). Peristimulus histograms performed around hippocampal sharp waves showed that all high-frequency firing neurons, including rhythmically bursting neurons and most slow firing neurons, decreased firing rates immediately after hippocampal epileptic discharges. Thus inhibitory hippocampo-septal influences prevail during hippocampal epileptic discharges. The occurrence of epileptic discharges was reduced 86-97% of the number observed during spontaneous theta and theta induced by sensory (tail pinch) or chemical stimulation (carbachol), suggesting that the presence of the theta state regardless of how it was produced was responsible for the reduction in epileptic discharge frequency. The understanding of the theta rhythm "anti-epileptic" effect at the cellular and molecular levels may result in novel therapeutic approaches dedicated to protect the brain against abnormal excitability states.

The role of inositol deficiency in the etiology of polycystic ovary syndrome disorders (2014)

Inositol acts as a second messenger in insulin signaling pathway Literature data suggest inositol deficiency in insulin-resistant women with the polycystic ovary syndrome. Supplementation of myo-inisitol decreases insulin resistance as it works as an insulin sensitizing agent. The positive role of myo-inositol in the treatment of polycystic ovary syndrome has been of increased evidence recently The present review presents the effects of myo-inositol on the ovarian, hormonal and metabolic parameters in women with PCOS.
Integration of Hybrid ARQ and Space-Time Coding through Embedded Quasi-Orthogonal Block Codes (2006)

This work presents a novel use of the quasi-orthogonal space-time coding structure to greatly enhance the scalability and efficiency of wireless communication systems through the integration of ARQ and space-time block codes. The key concept is to integrate space-time coding with hybrid ARQ by utilizing joint receivers upon ARQ retransmissions. Our objective is to reduce the retransmission bandwidth when network conditions are suitable. The joint detection scheme requires standard maximum likelihood algorithms. To achieve low complexity, Alamouti codes and quasi-orthogonal codes are adopted. We have found that for moderate channel conditions, 39 percent of the retransmission bandwidth can be saved with very little performance or complexity penalty.

Effects of β‐Glucan Addition to a Probiotic Containing Yogurt (2007)

This study investigated the effects of addition of beta-glucan from 2 different cereal sources (oat and barley) on growth and metabolic activity of Bifidobacterium animalis ssp. lactis (Bb-12) as determined by plating on a selective medium in yogurt during prolonged cold storage. These yogurt batches were compared to unsupplemented and inulin supplemented controls. All batches were also assessed for syneresis. Oat beta-glucan addition resulted in improved probiotic viability and stability comparable to that of inulin. It also enhanced lactic and propionic acid production. The barley beta-glucan addition suppressed proteolytic activity more than that from oat. These improvements were hindered by greater syneresis caused likely by thermodynamic incompatibility. Small amplitude oscillatory measurements of acidified model mixture of beta-glucan/skim milk solids showed formation of casein gel within the beta-glucan network. Binary mixtures of beta-glucan and skim milk solids had apparent pseudoplastic and non-Newtonian behavior governed mainly by beta-glucan contribution. Above critical concentrations, the mixtures underwent phase separation with the lower phase rich in protein. The phase diagram also showed that the addition of beta-glucan may be possible at or below 0.24 w/w%.
New methods for the visualization of electric power system information (2002)

One area in need of new research in information visualization is the operation and analysis of large-scale electric power systems. In analyzing power systems, one is usually confronted with a large amount of multivariate data. With systems containing tens of thousands of electrical nodes (buses), a key challenge is to present this data in a form so the user can assess the state of the system in an intuitive and quick manner. This is particularly true when trying to analyze relationships between actual network power flows, the scheduled power flows, and the capacity of the transmission system. With electric industry restructuring and the move towards having a single entity, such as an independent system operator or pool, operate a much larger system, this need has become more acute. This paper presents several power system visualization techniques to help in this task. These techniques include animation of power system flow values, contouring of bus and transmission line flow values, data aggregation techniques and interactive 3D data visualization.
CHAPTER 8 The Role of Variables (2009)

Abstract Logicians and philosophers generally suppose that we now possess a perfectly good understanding of how variables work in the symbolism of logic and mathematics. Given Frege's account of their syntactic role and Tarski's account of their semantic role, it would appear that nothing more of any significance need be said. However, this common view is mistaken. There are deep problems concerning the role of variables that have never been properly recognized, let alone solved, and once we attempt to solve them, we see that they have profound implications not only for our understanding of variables but also for our understanding of other forms of expression and for the general nature of semantics. This chapter explains what these problems are and how they are to be solved, and indicates the implications for the rest of semantics.
Differential expression and alternative splicing of TRP channel genes in smooth muscles (2001)

Nonselective cation channels (NSCC) are targets of excitatory agonists in smooth muscle, representing the nonselective cation current I(cat). Na(+) influx through NSCC causes depolarizations and activates voltage-dependent Ca(2+) channels, resulting in contraction. The molecular identity of I(cat) in smooth muscle has not been elucidated; however, products of the transient receptor potential (TRP) genes have characteristics similar to native I(cat). We have determined the levels of TRP transcriptional expression in several murine and canine gastrointestinal and vascular smooth muscles and have analyzed the alternative processing of these transcripts. Of the seven TRP gene family members, transcripts for TRP4, TRP6, and TRP7 were detected in all murine and canine smooth muscle cell preparations. TRP3 was detected only in canine renal artery smooth muscle cells. The full-length cDNAs for TRP4, TRP6, and TRP7, as well as one splice variant of TRP4 and two splice variants of TRP7, were cloned from murine colonic smooth muscle. Quantitative RT-PCR determined the relative amounts of TRP4, TRP6, and TRP7 transcripts, as well as that of the splice variants, in several murine smooth muscles. TRP4 is the most highly expressed, while TRP6 and TRP7 are expressed at a lower level in the same tissues. Splice variants for TRP7, deleted for exons encoding amino acids including transmembrane segment S1, predominated in murine smooth muscles, while the full-length form of the transcript was expressed in canine smooth muscles.
Sleep homeostasis and the circadian clock: Do the circadian pacemaker and the sleep homeostat influence each other’s functioning? (2018)

Sleep is regulated by a homeostatic and a circadian process. Together these two processes determine most aspects of sleep and related variables like sleepiness and alertness. The two processes are known to be able to work independently, but also to both influence sleep and sleep related variables in an additive or more complex manner. The question remains whether the two processes are directly influencing each other. The present review summarizes evidence from behavioural and electroencephalographic determined sleep, electrophysiology, gene knock out mouse models, and mathematical modelling to explore whether sleep homeostasis can influence circadian clock functioning and <i>vice versa</i>. There is a multitude of data available showing parallel action or influence of sleep homeostatic mechanisms and the circadian clock on several objective and subjective variables related to sleep and alertness. However, the evidence of a direct influence of the circadian clock on sleep homeostatic mechanisms is sparse and more research is needed, particularly applying longer sleep deprivations that include a second night. The strongest evidence of an influence of sleep homeostatic mechanisms on clock functioning comes from sleep deprivation experiments, demonstrating an attenuation of phase shifts of the circadian rhythm to light pulses when sleep homeostatic pressure is increased. The data suggest that the circadian clock is less susceptible to light when sleep pressure is high. The available data indicate that a strong central clock will induce periods of deep sleep, which in turn will strengthen clock function. Both are therefore important for health and wellbeing. Weakening of one will also hamper functioning of the other. Shift work and jet lag are situations where one tries to adapt to zeitgebers in a condition where sleep is compromised. Adaptation to zeitgebers may be improved by introducing nap schedules to reduce sleep pressure, and through that increasing clock susceptibility to light.
The performance impact of false subpage sharing in KSR1 (2002)

This paper presents insight into important aspects of the performance of KSR1 multiprocessor. We report performance degradations caused by false sharing of memory subpages (128 bytes long units of transfer and consistency) between local caches in the KSR1. In other words, the performance is measured when multiple processing nodes issue simultaneous write requests for a single subpage. Our measurements show that low level knowledge about the organization of the ALLCACHE memory and explicit use of non-shared variables in parallel threads can result in performance improvement of almost an order of magnitude. However, writing such programs is much closer to distributed memory MIMD programming than shared memory programming.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>

Performance analysis of cellular mobile communication systems with dynamic channel assignment (1989)

The traffic analysis of small-cell mobile networks with dynamic channel assignment is investigated to determine their blocking performance, using a hybrid method of analysis and simulation. The authors particularly focus on the performance problems presented by networks with heterogeneous cell traffic loads, the impact of traffic volatility among the cells, and the impact of multichannel traffic on the channel blocking probabilities. Significant improvement in network performance with dynamic channel assignment is established by numerical results.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>
A SVM face recognition method based on Gabor-featured key points (2005)

This paper presents a novel face recognition approach based on support vector machine and Gabor-featured key points, which takes technological advantages of both support vector machine and Gabor feature extraction. The main contributions of this paper therefore lie in the following aspects: (1) support vector machine is successfully applied to face recognition by using Gabor features of key points; (2) Gabor features of key points are introduced to represent a whole face in a computable dimensional space. As a result, experiments on FERET and AT&T databases have shown significant better performance with this method, which in itself proves the feasibility of our proposal.
Aspects of catenary free operation of DC traction systems (2015)

Removal of overhead electrical installations (catenaries) is a major consideration of light railway industries. This is driven by continuing focus on environmental concerns and reduction of energy consumption. For catenary free operation of rapid transit trains, on-board energy storage has a significant role to provide the required power and recover the regenerated energy from braking. An efficient train control and optimised energy management can improve the energy efficiency of rapid transit system. The main aspects of catenary free operation of DC traction systems are described in this paper.
Deep Active Learning for Surface Defect Detection (2020)

Most of the current object detection approaches deliver competitive results with an assumption that a large number of labeled data are generally available and can be fed into a deep network at once. However, due to expensive labeling efforts, it is difficult to deploy the object detection systems into more complex and challenging real-world environments, especially for defect detection in real industries. In order to reduce the labeling efforts, this study proposes an active learning framework for defect detection. First, an Uncertainty Sampling is proposed to produce the candidate list for annotation. Uncertain images can provide more informative knowledge for the learning process. Then, an Average Margin method is designed to set the sampling scale for each defect category. In addition, an iterative pattern of training and selection is adopted to train an effective detection model. Extensive experiments demonstrate that the proposed method can render the required performance with fewer labeled data.

Consistent specification test for ordered discrete choice models (2006)

We discuss how to test consistently the specification of an ordereddiscrete choice model. Two approaches are considered: tests based onconditional moment restrictions and tests based on comparisons betweenparametric and nonparametric estimations. Following these approaches, various statistics are proposed and their asymptotic properties are discussed.The performance of the statistics is compared by means of simulations. Avariant of the standard conditional moment statistic and a generalization ofHorowitz-Spokoiny’s statistic perform best.
Alkaline batteries for applications in telecommunication (2002)

The presentation deals with nickel-cadmium (FNC) and nickel-metal hydride batteries (FNH) based on positive electrodes in fibre-technology. Accumulatorenwerke HOPPECKE have developed these types of alkaline batteries for several industrial applications. A new type of design has been developed enabling higher energy and power densities. In addition to the FNC-A design the block design offers advantages for certain applications. In similar block design FNC-A and Ni-MH-batteries have been built and investigated. For extreme demands in power output a bipolar battery stack is in development. In addition to that a special new design for telecommunication applications at higher temperatures is demonstrated.

Fermentation of Shrimp Biowaste under Different Salt Concentrations with Amylolytic and Non-Amylolytic Lactobacillus Strains for Chitin Production (2006)

Fermentation of shrimp biowaste was conducted with two Lactobacillus plantarum strains at pH=6.0 under various salt concentrations. The non amylolytic strain L. plantarum 541 and amylolytic strain L. plantarum A6 showed to possess reasonable growth in biowaste with the addition of salt as high as 6 %. Fermentation carried with 10 % inoculum, 5 % glucose, with initial reduction of pH to 6.0 using acetic acid, showed that there was no spoilage of the biowaste. Growth trends in shrimp waste, in terms of CFU/mL developed on MRS-agar plates, changes in pH and lactic acid production (in g/L) were determined. The deproteination and demineralization efficiency with strain 541 was better than with strain A6. A maximum of 81.4 % demineralization and 59.8 % deproteination under 2 % salt conditions occurred with strain 541, whereas with strain A6, a demineralization of 65.5 % and deproteination of 52.2 % was observed.
Association of the Toll-Like Receptor 4 Gene Asp299Gly Polymorphism With Acute Coronary Events (2003)

These results, which must be confirmed by a prospective longitudinal study, provide evidence of an association between the Asp299Gly polymorphism of the human TLR4 receptor and acute coronary syndromes. They confirm the previously reported involvement of TLR4 in carotid and femoral artery atherosclerosis.
