A genetic model for light-regulated seedling development in <i>Arabidopsis</i> (1992)

Abstract The genetic interactions among mutations that define eight distinct loci involved in light-regulated development in Arabidopsis thaliana are described. The mutations in these eight genes define two distinct phenotypic classes with opposite characteristics. Recessive mutations in either one of two genes, DET1 or DET2, result in dark-grown plants that develop as light-grown wild-type seedlings. Mutants in the second class exhibit a reduced response to light Recessive mutations in any one of five genes, HY1, HY2, HY3, HY5, or HY6 cause reduced responses to red-light Four of these genes, HY1,2,3, and 6, affect the activity of one or all of the red-light photoreceptors, the phytochromes. The HY4 gene product is involved in blue-light perception or action. The experiments described here examine how these eight genes interact to control a particular event, the switch from developmental arrest in the dark (etiolation) to growth in the light (deetiolation). The phenotypes of doubly mutant strains suggest a hierarchical regulatory network among these genes in the control of the switch from etiolated to de-etiolated growth strategies.
[Combination chemotherapy of nicardipine and vindesine sulfate, cis-diammine dichloroplatinum (II) for patients with advanced esophageal carcinoma]. (1984)

Since calcium (Ca) antagonist enhances the antitumor effect of vinca alkaloid in vitro, The authors attempted to combine nicardipine (Ca antagonist) with vindesine sulfate (VDS) and cis-diammine dichloroplatinum (II)(CDDP) for treatment of two patients with advanced esophageal carcinoma who were considered to be resistant to two courses of combination chemotherapy of VDS and CDDP. In the first case nicardipine was given orally and for only one day at a dose of 60 mg followed by 40 mg two and a half hours later. Thirty minutes after 60 mg of nicardipine, 3 mg of VDS on day 1, and 50 mg of CDDP (repeated for 3 days) were given. The maximum plasma concentration of nicardipine was 834.0 mg/ml, and the patient showed a partial response. In the second case nicardipine was given intravenously at a dose of 10 mg/body/hour for 8 hours which was repeated for 3 days. The same dose of VDS and CDDP as the first case was started the second day. The maximum concentration of nicardipine was 254.3 ng/ml, and this patient did not show any response. These results may suggest that a sufficient plasma concentration of nicardipine would obtained some response even in solid tumors.
Low Complex Crypto Based Channel Coding (2012)

A novel method to combine encryption and channel coding in such a way as to get increased security without any additional complexity is presented in this paper. A secure communication system usually consists of an encryption block followed by the channel coder. The encryption block here is a Shrinking generator which is a Linear Feedback Shift Register (LFSR) based stream cipher system. The channel coding technique used is Turbo codes or Low Density Parity Check Codes (LDPC) that performs very well and provides results near Shannon's Limit. Controlled randomness using Pseudo Random Bit Sequence (PRBS) generator is incorporated during encoding of these codes to provide additional level of security in the system without any additional complexity. To achieve optimum decoding, soft decision decoding algorithms are used rather than hard decisions. Bit Error Rate (BER) performance of the proposed channel coders with keyed randomness is well analyzed for intended and un-intended users. Security of the system is analyzed by mounting Improved Linear Consistency Attack and the results show that a significant increase in security is achieved in a stream cipher based secure communication system without any additional increase in complexity by introducing security in channel coding.
Epidemiology of depression among infertile and fertile couples in Shiraz, Southern Iran (2006)

Regarding the high rate of depression among infertile couples, it seems necessary to pay more attention to infertility centers that offer psychological and psychiatric services.
The Imperial Army (2000)

The imperial army was one of the most dramatic innovations of Meiji Japan. Its system of conscription was to alter Japanese society fundamentally, while its victories over China and, later, Russia, entirely changed Japan’s international standing. However, the army was never a perfected machine and disputes over its size, organisation and function were to continue to the end of the period. In suggesting ideas, improvements and answers to ongoing problems, it benefited from a group of young officers who straddled both the ‘traditional’ and the ‘modern’, men with experience and training from the Tokugawa era (1600–1868) but also with direct observation of contemporary Western forces and societies. It was these younger officers who actually shaped the Meiji army and pre-eminent amongst their number was Katsura Tarō.
GOLD EXTRACTION FROM THIOSULFATE SOLUTIONS USING MIXED AMINES (1998)

ABSTRACT The extraction of gold from thiosulfate solutions with amine oxide and its mixture with amines has been studied, the results show that the amine oxide (TRAO) has a higher extraction ability for gold compared with tertiary amine. It can extract gold from neutral and weakly alkaline thiosulfate solutions, similar to the primary amine as extractant. The addition of TRAO enhances the extent of gold extraction with primary, secondary, and tertiary alkyl amines, respectively. The stoichiometry for the extraction of gold from thiosulfate solutions using the mixed solvent containing the primary amine N1923 and the amine oxide TRAO was investigated using slope analysis. The compositions of the gold extraction species with mixed organic solvents are proposed.
Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP/1.1): Conditional Requests (2014)

The Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) is a stateless applicationlevel protocol for distributed, collaborative, hypertext information systems. This document defines HTTP/1.1 conditional requests, including metadata header fields for indicating state changes, request header fields for making preconditions on such state, and rules for constructing the responses to a conditional request when one or more preconditions evaluate to false.
Effect of GSTM1 and GSTT1 double deletions in the development of oxidative stress in diabetic nephropathy patients. (2010)

Association of diabetic nephropathy (DN) with the deletion of GSTT1 and GSTM1 genes is well reported. Oxidative stress (OS) has also been associated with the development of DN. The present study was conducted to find out, whether these deletions had any contributory role in the development of OS in patients with DN. Pre-dialysis venous blood samples were obtained from 60 patients with diabetic end-stage renal disease (stages 4 and 5). Reduced-glutathione (GSH), glutathione S-transferase (GST) activity and malondialdehyde (MDA) levels were measured for the assessment of OS. Genetic polymorphism analysis of DN patients revealed the following distribution pattern: GSTM1 null 46.7%; GSTT1 null 55%; both null 30% and both positive 28.3%. Patients with both null genotypes were found to have significantly increased levels of MDA and low GST activity as compared to other genotypic groups. Lower GSH levels were observed in all the genotypic groups as compared to both positives. Double deletions involving GSTT1 and GSTM1 may result in decreased GST levels, leading to increased OS as reflected by increased MDA levels. As GST is a multi-functional enzyme involved in xenobiotic metabolism, this double null genotype population has a greater risk of development of DN. Further studies using increased sample size to find out the allelic distribution and their role in the development of DN are in progress.
High rate packets transmission on ethernet LAN using commodity hardware (2006)

We report on measurements performed to test the reliability of high rate data transmission over copper Gigabit Ethernet for the LHCb online system. High reliability of such transmissions will be crucial for the functioning of the software trigger layers of the LHCb experiment, at the CERN's LHC accelerator. The technological challenge in the system implementation consists of handling the expected high data throughput of event fragments using, to a large extent, commodity equipment. We report on performance evaluations (throughput, error rates and frame drop) of the main components involved in data transmission: the Ethernet cable, the PCI bus and the operating system (the latest kernel versions of Linux). Three different platforms have been used.

Invention The Data Alchemists (2003)

XML, the Extensible Mark-up Language will, in the next few years, replace HTML, the code that defines how a document looks when viewed by a Web browser. XML provides structure as well as looks to a document. While HTML can format things like headlines and tables, XML can define things like dates, invoice numbers, and prices. This means you can build data files, Web pages, or documents that can be probed with simple questions - for example, "find all prices above a certain amount" - or more nuanced ones, such as "tell me which professors in this journal article database were funded by which corporations to research molecular beam epitaxy". Relying on semantics and logic instead of key words only speeds up any search you need to make. To make this kind of smart searching possible, one further concept comes into play: the resource description format (RDF), a way of specifying the relationship between entities.
The energy challenge (2012)

This paper provides an overview of the enormous challenge of meeting future energy demand in an environmentally responsible manner. A portfolio approach is required, which must include more solar, wind, hydro, bio and marine energy wherever sensible, and demand reduction (through better planning, especially in the world’s expanding cities), increased efficiency, more nuclear power, and (if feasible, safe and economically competitive) carbon capture and storage. In the longer term, the world will need much more solar power, advanced nuclear fission, and fusion power—if it can be made to work reliably and competitively. The policy priority is to put a (high) price on carbon in the context of a global agreement (through a tax, or cap and trade with a floor price to provide certainty for investors), which is easily said, but very hard to do.
Q-CAD: QoS and Context Aware Discovery framework for adaptive mobile systems (2005)

This paper presents Q-CALl, a resource discovery framework\nthat enables pervasive computing applications to discover\nand select the resource(s) best satisfying the user\nneeds, taking the current execution context and quality-ofservice\n(QoS} requirements into account. The available resources\nare first screened, so that only those suirable to the\ncurrent execution context of the application will be considered;\nthe shortlisted resources are then evaluated against\nthe QoS needs of the application, and a binding is established\nto the best available.
Renal Artery Assessment with Nonenhanced Steady-State Free Precession versus Contrast-enhanced MR Angiography (2007)

Slab-selective inversion-prepared 3D SSFP MR angiography had high sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, and NPV for RAS detection, without the need for contrast material. However, RAS severity was overestimated in some patients.
A modified elliptic function with diminishing ripples (2002)

A modified elliptic low-pass filter function is proposed. The modified elliptic function possesses progressively diminishing ripples in both passband and stopband, and improves the frequency and the time-domain characteristics as compared with the classical elliptic function. Also it is realizable in the doubly-terminated ladder structures for the order n even or odd, thus lending themselves amenable to high-quality active RC or switched capacitor filters through simulation techniques.

C.F. OLD (1989)

This review begins by considering some of the problems currently limiting the development of production engines. We shall try to interpret these problems in terms of the fundamental physics and chemistry and assess how far available laser instrumentation can address the appropriate areas. The review is biased towards production engines since these not only pose particularly severe demands on instrumentation development, but may also show trends which are quite different from research engines. Much of the review will concentrate on spark ignition engines since the diesel engine is heavily influenced by spray behaviour which is treated in a later paper. In considering product performance, we shall restrict ourselves to investigations under steady state running. Although the study of transient operation is now just about within reach of current instrumentation, there is not as yet a substantial body of published experience.
Influence of cobalt on phosphorus uptake, growth and yield of tomato (2010)

A field experiment was carried out in the Research and Production Station, National Research Center, El-Nobaria during the season, 2009 to evaluate the effect of cobalt and different sources of phosphorus fertilizers on the growth, yield quantity and quality of tomato. Treatments can be arranged in descending order as follows: Mono super phosphate (MSP) > Triple super phosphate (TSP) > Rock phosphate (RP). Mono super phosphate (MSP) had superior effect on all growth parameters of tomato shoots and roots yield quantity and quality as well as mineral nutrient constituents of tomato fruits compared with other phosphorus sources. Rock phosphate (RP) treatment gave the lowest values of tomato growth, yield, chemical constituents and mineral composition of tomato fruits. Cobalt addition enhanced all parameters of tomato growth and yield with all sources of phosphorus fertilizers especially with mono super phosphate.
Capillary Blood on Filter Paper for Determination of HbA1c by Ion Exchange Chromatography (1996)

The HbA1c filter paper system enables capillary blood sampling at home, eliminates the need of vein puncture in children and adults, and provides the diabetologist with an HbA1c value when the patient visits the clinic without a need for a previsit phlebotomy.
Incorporating reliability calculations in routine network planning: theory and practice (2005)

This paper describes the implementation of reliability calculations into the routine network planning of a distribution network operator. Firstly, actual developments putting this issue on the agenda are described. Then, it is argued why medium voltage (MV) networks form the logical starting point. Hereafter, the basics of reliability calculations and the approach towards reliability calculations, as it is implemented in the MV network analysis program Vision, are elaborated upon. Finally, the practical implementation and applicability of reliability calculations is discussed. It is argued that the results of reliability calculations must be interpreted carefully, but that they can nevertheless be of good
Genetic Algorithm Based Inventory Optimization Analysis in Supply Chain Management (2009)

Inventory management is one of the significant fields in supply chain management. Efficient and effective management of inventory throughout the supply chain significantly improves the ultimate service provided to the customer. Hence there is a necessity of determining the inventory to be held at different stages in a supply chain so that the total supply chain cost is minimized. Minimizing the total supply chain cost is meant for minimizing holding and shortage cost in the entire supply chain. This inspiration of minimizing Total Supply Chain Cost could be done only by optimizing the base stock level at each member of the supply chain. The dilemma occurring here is that the excess stock level and shortage level is very dynamic for every period. In this paper, we have developed a novel and efficient approach using Genetic Algorithm which clearly determines the most possible excess stock level and shortage level that is needed for inventory optimization in the supply chain so as to minimize the total supply chain cost.
Use of electrostatic technology for aero engine oil system monitoring (2002)

A significant reduction in aircraft operational costs will be achieved through prognostics and health management (PHM). Early or predictive fault diagnosis will be used to maximise aircraft availability by planning and undertaking maintenance only when it is needed. This requires reliable aircraft sub-system fault monitoring, from which comprehensive, early detection and tracking data can be obtained. A review of on-line oil system monitoring identified a number of gaps, which need to be filled before such capability can be achieved. Current technology is limited in terms of early detection and the impact of using materials such as ceramics should be considered. Two sensor systems are being developed to address present and future shortcomings in aero engine oil-system monitoring. The sensor systems have undergone a number of trials including gear and bearing rig tests and full scale engine work. This paper describes the technology performance during a recent Joint Strike Fighter (JSF) funded program.
e-비즈니스 일반 : 정보시스템 개발 조직에서 갈등 및 갈등관리가 이중몰입(조직 및 경력)에 미치는 영향에 대한 실증연구 (2011)

갈등(Conflict)은 수많은 조직 내에서 발생하며(Barki and Hartwick, 2001), 적절한 갈등관리 방식에 따라 갈등의 결과는 긍정적 또는 부정적일 수 있다(Deutsch, 1990; Pondy 1967). 이것은 조직 내에 발생하는 갈등이 조직성과에 직접적인 영향을 미치는 것이 아니라 갈등 관리 방식이 조직성과에 직접적인 영향을 미친다는 것을 의미하는 것이라 할 수 있다. 또한, 조직 내에서 발생하는 갈등은 순기능과 역기능을 동시에 가지고 있으며 결코 분리될 수 없다(Deutsch, 1990). 본 연구는 이러한 갈등이 조직성과에 직접적으로 긍정적인 영향을 미칠 수도 있다는 가정에서 시작되었다. ISD(Information System Development: 이하 ISD) 조직에서는 다양한 사용자들의 요구사항을 반영하여 시스템을 개발해야 하는 필요성에 따라 사용자들과 많은 접촉을 해야 하고, 개발업무를 위해서는 다양한 기술을 가지고 있는 개발자들의 협업이 필요하기 때문에 다른 조직보다 상대적으로 갈등이 많이 발생할 것으로 예상할 수 있다. 이러한 이유로 본 연구에서는 ISD 조직을 대상으로 이중몰입(조직 및 경력몰입)에 영향을 미치는 갈등과 갈등관리방법을 규명하고자 하였다. 본 논문의 실증연구를 위해 ISD 조직 근무자를 대상으로 설문조사를 실시하였고, 306명의 데이터 분석결과 개인의 상호의존성의 갈등은 문제해결의 갈등관리기법과 이중몰입에 긍정적인 영향을 주며, 문제해결의 갈등관리기법은 이중몰입에 긍정적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다.
Representation of Thermal Infrared Imaging Data in the DICOM Using XML Configuration Files (2007)

The DICOM standard has become a widely accepted and implemented format for the exchange and storage of medical imaging data. Different imaging modalities are supported however there is not a dedicated solution for thermal infrared imaging in medicine. In this article we propose new ideas and improvements to final proposal of the new DICOM Thermal Infrared Imaging structures and services. Additionally, we designed, implemented and tested software packages for universal conversion of existing thermal imaging files to the DICOM format using XML configuration files. The proposed solution works fast and requires minimal number of user interactions. The XML configuration file enables to compose a set of attributes for any source file format of thermal imaging camera.
Full-chip verification of UDSM designs (1998)

describes the problems encountered in typical ultra-deep submicron ~S~designs, and the full-chip interconnect verification methodologies needed to successfully identify these problems before tape-out. We first illustrate that UDSM vertilcation must go well beyond simple geometric and circuit comparison checks to address increasingly important issues such as timing, power integrity, signal integrity, and reliability. The key issues of ~drops in the power grid, electromigration in power and signal lines, clock skew, signal coupling and its effect on timing and noise are described. We present real-world examples of such problems and how to find these problems using full-chip verflcation.
Lysozyme turnover in man (1972)

Lysozyme turnover studies with (125)I-labeled human lysozyme were carried out on 22 patients, viz. nine control patients, seven nephrological patients with varying degrees of renal insufficiency, including three bilaterally nephrectomized patients, and six hematological patients with disturbed turnover of the neutrophilic granulocytes. It was found that plasma lysozyme has a rapid turnover with a fractional catabolic rate of 76%/hr of the plasma content. Lysozyme catabolism varied with the endogenous creatinine clearance; in addition however, extrarenal sites of catabolism were demonstrated since lysozyme could be broken down in the anephric patients, although only at a rate amounting to about 15% of the rate found in persons with intact kidneys. In the uremic patients the increased plasma lysozyme concentration was due to decreased rates of catabolism; in the hematological patients the increased plasma lysozyme level was due to increased rates of synthesis which supports the hypothesis that plasma lysozyme mainly stems from disintegrating neutrophilic granulocytes. Furthermore, it was shown that in the nonhematological patients examined, the rate of synthesis varied with the endogenous creatinine clearance.
Efficacy of some anticoccidial drugs for treating coccidial enteritis of the common carp caused by Goussia carpelli (Apicomplexa: Eimeriidae) (2007)

In this study, nine anticoccidial drugs commonly used in poultry were tested for efficacy for the prevention and treatment of Goussia carpelli (Apicomplexa) infection in common carp (Cyprinus carpio L.). To establish experimental infection with G. carpelli, paratenic host oligochaetes of the genera Tubifex and Limnodrilus were infected with oocysts, and laboratory-cultured parasite-free common carp fingerlings were infected by feeding to them oligochaetes containing sporozoites. The anticoccidial drugs (amprolium, narasin, maduramicin, salinomycin Na, lasalocid Na, diclazuril, robenidine HCl, monensin Na and toltrazuril), mixed in the food of the fish in a dose of 200 mg/kg, were fed for 12 days. Common carp fingerlings fed diclazuril, lasalocid, robenidine HCl or maduramicin and killed on day 14 after exposure were free from infection, while other groups treated with amprolium, toltrazuril, monensin Na, narasin or salinomycin Na harboured oocysts in the mucus and epithelium of the gut.
Fibronectin as an opsonic regulator of monocyte phagocytosis. (1984)

Experiments using human monocytes and the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae have shown that fibronectin is a major plasma opsonin. Further studies have shown that fibronectin promotes the ingestion as well as the adherence of micro-organisms. These observations are independent of the non-physiological concentrations of heparin used in other assay systems.
