Exact design of multirate switched-current FIR filters with improved phase linearity (2002)

The design of linear phase multirate FIR filters for switched-current decimators is presented. The question of finding the decimating factor M for a given filter order N, as function of the timing used, is discussed. It is shown, that exact linearity can be achieved only for special cases of M and N, and that it depends on the chosen timing. Furthermore, we show that modulo arithmetic is a useful tool for analyzing multirate systems.

Optical performance of pupil segmentation for 20- to 30-m class telescopes (2004)

Next generation giant telescopes are under study around the world, with great variety in size and pupil segmentation scheme. We present performance calculations for different pupil segmentation geometries for 20 - 30 m class telescopes. Parameters include segment size and shape, gap diffraction, and segment surface errors. Optical performance is evaluated through point-spread function (PSF) calculation for the different concepts. Segments are large, 8m-class, circular or polygonal mirrors, or small, 2m-class, hexagonal mirrors. These options represent the choices of the different communities involved in the studies for the Next Generation Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope. Our segmentation scheme consists of eight 8m-class polygonal petals forming a filled octagonal 20 m pupil. All segment and pupil edges are along four unique directions, minimizing the number of diffraction arms in the PSF, and creating large areas of low levels of scattered light close to the core. This is important for high-dynamic range imaging. Comparison between polygonal and circular petals shows that, in addition to the presence of low-scatter areas, the encircled energy is higher. Impact on optical performance of atmospheric perturbations and residual wavefront errors after correction by an Adaptive Optics system are also discussed.
Behavioral counseling for reducing children's ETS exposure: Implementation in community clinics (2004)

The present randomized controlled trial tested the effectiveness of a behavioral counseling program for reducing children's exposure to environmental tobacco smoke (ETS). Counseling was delivered by clinic staff as part of well-child health care services in a community clinic setting. A total of 150 mothers with children aged 4 years or younger were recruited. Parent-reported and children's urinary cotinine measures of ETS exposure were obtained at baseline, 3 months, 6 months (post-test), and 12 months (follow-up). Saliva samples were obtained from mothers who reported quitting smoking, for objective verification by thiocyanate analysis. After baseline, mothers were randomly assigned to a measures-only control condition or an intervention consisting of seven behavioral counseling sessions over 6 months. Counseling included behavioral contracting, self-monitoring, problem solving, and positive reinforcement. Results indicated acceptable test-retest reliability and validity of measures. Parent-reported measures indicated that, in both groups, children's exposure to their mothers' tobacco smoke in the home and to all tobacco smoke declined steeply from baseline to 6 months post-test, and remained essentially level during follow-up. Mothers' smoking rates followed the same pattern. Children's urinary cotinine concentrations did not show significant change over time in either group. Findings on the fidelity of treatment implementation suggest that the structure and funding of the community clinic health care system and associated staff turnover and training issues resulted in participants receiving a less efficacious intervention than in our past efficacy trials. Implications for future effectiveness trials are discussed.
Comparison of Proprioceptive Training and Muscular Strength Training to Improve Balance Ability of Taekwondo Poomsae Athletes: A Randomized Controlled Trials. (2018)

Maintaining balance while performing "Hakdariseogi" in Taekwondo, which involves standing on one leg, is a critical aspect of the Poomsae competition. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of proprioceptive training and lower-limb muscular strength training on the balance of Taekwondo Poomsae athletes over a 6-week period. Thirty Taekwondo Poomsae athletes were randomly assigned to three groups, namely, a proprioception training group, a lower-limb muscular strength training group, and a control group. Biomechanics data were collected using eight infrared cameras (Qualysis, Sweden) at 200 Hz and a force plate (Kistler, Switzerland) at 2,000 Hz while the participants performed "Hakdariseogi" before and after the 6-week intervention. Balance and stability variables were calculated using customized MATLAB R2014b software (Mathworks, Inc., USA). The medio-lateral (M/L) center of pressure (CoP) range, M/L CoP mean velocity, antero-posterior (A/P) CoP range, A/P CoP mean velocity, and the vertical ground reaction torque after the training were reduced at P1 in the PG groups (p < 0.05). A decrease in the A/P CoP range, A/P CoP mean velocity, and vertical ground reaction torque after the training were observed at P2 in the PG and SG groups (p < 0.05). The PG exhibited a smaller A/P CoP range and A/P CoP mean velocity, in comparison to CG (p < 0.05). The A/P CoP position at P1 was negatively correlated with the vertical ground reaction torque, A/P CoP range, and A/P CoP mean velocity at P2(r = -0.438, r = -0.626, r = -0.638). Based on the above results, this study determined that both proprioception training and lower-extremity muscle strength training resulted in an improvement of athletic performance. It was also desirable to move the CoP position through conscious effort forward at P2 in order to maintain the crane stance without sway.
Optical response at 10.6 μm in tungsten silicide Schottky barrier diodes (1987)

Optical response to radiation at a wavelength of 10.6 μm in tungsten silicide-silicon Schottky barrier diodes has been observed. Incident photons excite electrons by means of junction plasmon assisted inelastic electron tunneling. At 78 K a peak in the second derivative of current versus junction bias voltage was observed at a voltage corresponding to the energy of photons having a wavelength of 10.6 μm. This peak increased with increasing incident laser power, saturating at the highest laser powers investigated.

The electric form factor of the neutron ${G}_{E,n}$ has been measured in the quasifree ${}^{2}\mathrm{H}(\stackrel{\ensuremath{\rightarrow}}{e}{,e}^{\ensuremath{'}}\stackrel{\ensuremath{\rightarrow}}{n})p$ reaction using the 855 MeV polarized cw electron beam of the Mainz Microtron MAMI. The polarization of the scattered neutrons was analyzed in a polarimeter consisting of two walls of plastic scintillators. The precession of the neutron spin in a magnetic field was used for the first time to circumvent the measurement of the effective analyzing power of the polarimeter and the beam polarization. In this way ${G}_{E,n}$ could be determined with little model dependence and experimental uncertainties.

<scp>COVID</scp>‐19 and mycoplasma pneumoniae coinfection (2020)

A 36-year-old Chinese man with a recent diagnosis of COVID-19 infection was treated in the National Centre for Infectious Diseases, Singapore. He was found to have severe lymphopenia and moderate thrombocytopenia on admission to ICU and required ventilatory support. Peripheral blood smear performed in view of a rising MCV from 86 fL to 92 fL demonstrated cold agglutination and rouleaux formation, lymphopenia with few reactive lymphocytes and rare lymphoplasmacytoid cells (Image 1A,B, Wright stain, 100x objective). There was no significant anemia or biochemical haemolysis and direct agglutination test was negative. Antibody screen revealed anti-I antibody, a cold agglutinin titer of 1:8 with a mycoplasma pneumoniae antibody titer of 1:160. Serum electrophoresis did not show a monoclonal antibody. Respiratory multiplex PCR for other common respiratory viruses was negative. Reactive lymphocytes are frequently seen in COVID-19 infection (unlike in SARS), while in mycoplasma pneumoniae infection cold agglutination is common. COVID-19 coinfection with other common respiratory pathogens such as mycoplasma pneumoniae may exacerbate clinical symptoms, increase morbidity and may cause prolonged ICU stay if left undetected or untreated. Clinicians managing patients with COVID-19 infection should be mindful of coinfections with common respiratory pathogens during this COVID-19 outbreak and screen for these with appropriate microbiologic tests.
Antitumor Activity of Toxoplasma Lysate Antigen against Methylcholanthrene-Induced Tumor-Bearing Rats. (1992)

Growth of the tumor autoinduced by 20-methylcholanthrene (MC) in rats was inhibited after administration of Toxoplasma lysate antigen (TLA). The antitumor activity of TLA was most obvious in the early stage of tumoral growth. When TLA was administered to rats before the appearance of tumour, tumor formation was delayed slightly. Histopathological studies revealed dense growths of spindle tumor cells in untreated control rat, while enlarged central necrosis with the infiltration of lymphocytes and neutrophils was apparent in TLA-treated rats. According to the immunohistological examination of tumor tissue with anti-Thy-1 antibody, the rats treated with TLA showed large Thy-1 positive granular cells, whereas the untreated rats indicated only a few small Thy-1 positive cells. These observations indicate that TLA is a useful modifier of biological responses to MC-induced tumors.

Computational thinking and mental models: From kodu to calypso (2017)

Reasoning about programs is an important component of computational thinking. Laws of computation give meaning to the formalisms in which programs are expressed, and can be used to predict or explain program behavior, or to uncover bugs. This paper presents Calypso, a language inspired by Microsoft's Kodu Game Lab but designed for programming actual mobile robots rather than characters in a virtual world. The initial implementation of Calypso uses the Cozmo robot by Anki. Like Kodu, the Calypso interpreter can be described by five key laws. An understanding of the laws and how to apply them constitutes a mental model of computation. Calypso provides a variety of affordances and scaffolding techniques to foster development of effective mental models and facilitate computational thinking.
Protective effects of Phytohustil® compared to its active ingredient Althaea officinalis L. root extract (STW42) on primary human epidermal keratinocytes (2021)

Introduction Root extracts of Althaea officinalis L. (STW42) are used for the treatment of dry cough. Limiting the effect only to its polysaccharide components is not enough to explain its effects [1]. Coumarins and flavonoids, have anti-inflammatory/-oxidative properties and contribute to the beneficial effects of STW42 [1]. Keratinocytes act as the major barrier to agents that cause injury in the oral mucosa. The aim of this project is to investigate the anti-inflammatory/-oxidative properties of Phytohustil® on normal human epidermal keratinocytes (NHEK).
Emergent and therapeutic upper gastrointestinal endoscopy in children (1985)

Abstract Pediatric patients with upper gastrointestinal disorders have benefited significantly from recent advances in endoscopic technology. Improved techniques of esophageal endosclerosis and dilatation have reduced the morbidity associated with these 2 procedures. Twenty‐five patients underwent 136 endosclerosis treatments, with effective control of bleeding in all. Three of four deaths were caused by primary organ failure and one was due to a complication of endosclerosis. Fifty‐seven patients with esophageal stricture have undergone successful dilatation with uniformly good results and no major complications. Virtually all foreign bodies may now be successfully removed endoscopically from the esophagus or stomach and formerly unrecognized mucosal lesions have been defined as a common source of gastrointestinal hemorrhage. Continued advances in therapeutic pediatric endoscopy will be limited only by the imagination of the pediatric endoscopist .

Design of bendable high-frequency circuits based on short-channel InGaZnO TFTs (2019)

A unique requirement of flexible electronic systems is the need to simultaneously optimize their electrical and mechanical performance. Amorphous InGaZnO thin-film transistors (TFTs) fabricated on free-standing large-area plastic substrates address this issue by providing a carrier mobility >10 cm 2 /Vs, and bendability down to radii as small as 25 μm. At the same time, limitations such as a constrained minimum lateral feature size, the lack of appropriate p-type materials, or the influence of strain have to be considered when designing circuits. Here, models describing the scaling and bending behavior of flexible InGaZnO TFTs, together with the design of strain insensitive circuits operating at megahertz frequencies are presented.
Large Male Anthropomorphic Test Device (ATD) Finite Element Model (FEM) Correlation Improvement (2019)

As part of an activity for the Commercial Crew Program (CCP), a NASA Engineering and Safety Center (NESC) team conducted tests of small female, medium male, and large male Hybrid III anthropomorphic test device (ATD) head-neck complexes. The results were compared to simulation results from ATD finite element model (FEM) predictions to determine the validity and fidelity of ATD models for use in certifying CCP vehicles. The NESC was requested to help improve the large male ATD FEM to better represent physical responses. This report contains the outcome of the NESC assessment.
Dendritic Cells Induce Immunity and Long-Lasting Protection against Blood-Stage Malaria despite an In Vitro Parasite-Induced Maturation Defect (2004)

Dendritic cells (DC) suffer a maturation defect following interaction with erythrocytes infected with malaria parasites and become unable to induce protective malaria liver-stage immunity. Here we show that, by contrast, maturation-arrested DC in vitro are capable of the successful induction of antigen-specific gamma interferon (IFN-gamma) and interleukin 4 (IL-4) T-cell responses, antibody responses, and potent protection against lethal blood-stage malaria challenge in vivo. Similar results were found with DC pulsed with intact parasitized Plasmodium yoelii or Plasmodium chabaudi erythrocytes. Cross-strain protection was also induced. High levels of protection (80 to 100%) against lethal challenge were evident from 10 days after a single immunization and maintained up to 120 days. Interestingly, correlation studies versus blood-stage protection at different time points suggest that the immune effector mechanisms associated with protection could change over time. Antibody-independent, T-cell- and IL-12-associated protection was observed early after immunization, followed by antibody and IL-4-associated, IFN-gamma-independent protection in long-term studies. These results indicate that DC, even when clearly susceptible to parasite-induced maturation defect effects in vitro, can be central to the induction of protection against blood-stage malaria in vivo.
Effect of a Chemical Mixture on Dermal Penetration of Arsenic and Nickel in Male Pig in Vitro (2003)

Abstract The effect of a chemical mixture on the dermal penetration of arsenic or nickel was assessed by applying arsenic-73 or nickel-63 alone or with the chemical mixture to dermatomed male pig skin samples in flow-through diffusion cells. The chemical mixture consisted of chloroform, phenanthrene, and toluene for arsenic penetration studies and phenol, toluene, and trichloroethylene (TCE) for nickel studies. These are predominant chemicals found at hazardous waste sites. Arsenic and nickel bind to skin after dermal exposure. Total penetration of arsenic and nickel in the chemical mixture were significantly increased by 33% and 20% compared to arsenic and nickel alone, respectively. While more radioactivity penetrated skin with chemical treatment than metal alone, significantly less radioactivity was loosely adsorbed to skin and could be easily washed off from the skin surface with soap and water. The results of this study indicate that the potential health risk from dermal exposure to arsenic or nickel is enhanced if other chemicals are present.
