Flux‐Gradient Relationships for Saturated Flow of Water through Mixtures of Sand, Silt, and Clay (1971)

Abstract Water flux was studied as a function of hydraulic gradient for water‐saturated mixtures of sand, silt, kaolinite, illite, and bentonite. Flow rates were measured in sensitive capillary‐tube flowmeters containing differential manometers, such manometers also being used to measure gradients across the permeameters. Measurements were relatively rapid and were obtained for a series of increasing gradients followed immediately by repetition of alternate points in the direction of decreasing gradients. The method eliminated errors arising from time changes in hydraulic conductivity, evaporation loss at the flow outlet, and bubble movement in small‐bore capillary tubes. Nonswelling mixtures (sand, silt, kaolinite, and illite) generally exhibited good Darcian proportionality between flux and gradient, except for two less‐than‐proportional responses, one of which could be accounted for by fine‐particle migration. Swelling mixtures (sand, silt, and bentonite) yielded nonproportional flux‐gradient curves of a generally sigmoidal shape.

Association of Traditional Chinese Medicine Therapy and the Risk of Vascular Complications in Patients With Type II Diabetes Mellitus (2016)

With an increasing use of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), evidence of long-term benefit with adjunctive TCM treatment is limited. This study investigated whether the concurrent TCM treatment reduces the risk of vascular complications in T2DM patients by using a large population from National Health Insurance Research Database (NHIRD).We identified 33,457 adult patients with newly diagnosed T2DM using anti-diabetic agents from a random sample of one million beneficiaries in the NHIRD between January 1, 2000 and December 31, 2011. We recruited 1049 TCM users (received TCM over 30 days with a diagnosis of T2DM) and randomly selected 4092 controls as the non-TCM cohort at a ratio of 1:4 frequency-matched by age, sex, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and index year. We investigated the prescription pattern of TCM and conducted a Cox proportional hazards regression to calculate the hazard ratios (HRs) of stroke, chronic kidney diseases (CKD), and diabetic foot between the 2 cohorts.In the TCM cohort, the prescription pattern of TCM was different between insulin and noninsulin patients. The most common herbs were Dan-Shen (Radix Salviae Miltiorrhizae) in noninsulin group and Da-Huang (Radix et Rhizoma Rhei) in insulin group. The most common formulae were Liu-Wei-Di-Huang-Wan in noninsulin group and Yu-Quan-Wan in insulin group. Although no significant reduction in the hazard ratio of CKD and diabetic foot, the incidence rate of stroke was 7.19 per 1000 person-years in the TCM cohort and 10.66 per 1000 person-years in the control cohort, respectively. After adjustment of age, sex, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and antidiabetes agent use (including sulfonylureas, α-glucosidase, metformin, meglitinide, thiazolidinediones, and insulin), TCM cohorts were found to have a 33% decreased risk of stroke (95% CI = 0.46-0.97; P < 0.05).This population-based retrospective study showed that the complementary TCM therapy might associate with the decreased risk of stroke in T2DM, suggesting TCM as an adjunctive therapy for T2DM to prevent subsequent stroke.
Prolonged chronic phase in chronic myelogenous leukemia after homoharringtonine therapy. (2009)

Low dose HHT alone showed considerable short term and long term efficacy in the treatment of late stage CML. It may also be a good choice for patients who have failed imatinib, IFN-alpha treatment or haematopoietic stem cell transplantation or cannot afford these treatments.
Regulation of CapZ, an actin capping protein of chicken muscle, by anionic phospholipids (1991)

Chicken muscle CapZ, a member of the capping protein family of actin-binding proteins, binds to the barbed end of actin filaments and nucleates actin polymerization. No regulation of the capping protein family has been described. We report that micelles of phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PIP2) bind to CapZ and completely inhibit its ability to affect actin polymerization as measured by several independent assays. Higher concentrations of other anionic phospholipids also completely inhibit the activity of CapZ. Neutral phospholipids have no effect. Mixed vesicles of PIP2 with phosphatidylcholine or phosphatidylethanolamine also inhibit CapZ, but addition of Triton X-100 both prevents and reverses PIP2's inhibition of CapZ.
Advanced single-chip signal processor (2005)

A CMOS single chip signal processor, which has 32-bit floating point arithmetic units and large capacity on-chip memories, has been developed. The processor, having a floating point parallel multiplier, a floating point accumulator, two 512- word data RAMs, a 1024-word data ROM and a 2048- word program ROM, is implemented within a 15.4 × 8.4 mm chip area, containing 370,000 elements. As the processor is designed to perform highly accurate multiply-accumulate operations for digital filtering and to attain complex addressing capability for FFT computation, this processor can execute FIR computation at the 150 nsec per tap rate, as well as achieve 1024 point complex FFT computation in 12.3 msec.
Combining events and threads for scalable network services implementation and evaluation of monadic, application-level concurrency primitives (2007)

This paper proposes to combine two seemingly opposed programming models for building massively concurrent network services: the event-driven model and the multithreaded model. The result is a hybrid design that offers the best of both worlds--the ease of use and expressiveness of threads and the flexibility and performance of events. This paper shows how the hybrid model can be implemented entirely at the application level using concurrency monads in Haskell, which provides type-safe abstractions for both events and threads. This approach simplifies the development of massively concurrent software in a way that scales to real-world network services. The Haskell implementation supports exceptions, symmetrical multiprocessing, software transactional memory, asynchronous I/O mechanisms and application-level network protocol stacks. Experimental results demonstrate that this monad-based approach has good performance: the threads are extremely lightweight (scaling to ten million threads), and the I/O performance compares favorably to that of Linux NPTL. tens of thousands of simultaneous, mostly-idle client connections. Such massively-concurrent programs are difficult to implement, especially when other requirements, such as high performance and strong security, must also be met.
Adaptive identification by stochastic approximation (2002)

In this paper a new identifier for continuous-time SISO systems is proposed which differs from a widely studied adaptive scheme only by a time-varying "gain" term, inspired by results in stochastic approximation. We prove that this small modification makes the identifier robust to the presence of noise and along the way we derive a stability result for differential equations driven by diminishingly exciting signals.
A Process Re-Engineering Framework for Reverse Logistics Based on a Case Study (2010)

Reverse logistics has gained increasing attention in recent years as a channel for companies to achieve operational excellence. The process involves manipulation of returned materials, or even products, which forms a pivotal role in sustainable development throughout the whole supply chains. To make reverse logistics possible, process re-engineering may need to be carried out. However, the processes involved in re-engineering are practically complicated. Objectives, benefits, and applicability of any process re-engineering require a careful and detailed strategic planning. This paper aims to propose an easy-to-follow step-by-step framework for practitioners to perform process re-engineering, to learn and identify the critical issues in each step, and to be successful in applying process re-engineering in order to enhance reverse logistics performance. A learner-centred approach is adopted based on a case study of process re-engineering, which is demonstrated in the paper for explanation.
Design model for electrical distribution systems considering renewable, conventional and energy storage units (1992)

A new model to solve the design problem of integrated electrical distribution systems is presented, considering special modelling for the load, different sources — conventional, renewable and energy storage — as well as connection lines. The resulting formulation is a linear programming problem, which is solved by a standard optimisation package. The advantages of this ‘distributional approach’ to the design problem of integrated distribution systems can be clearly seen from the results of the case study. The model determines the optimal size and site of all types of power supply units and connection lines. The same model can also be easily extended for the solution of the distribution expansion planning problem, when the planning period is divided into multiple subsequent stages.
In Vitro Antioxidant Activity of Methanolic Leaf Extract of Tridax Procumbens and Tithonia Diversifolia (2017)

To analyze the antioxidant activities of the methanolic leaf extract of Tridax procumbens and Tithonia diversifolia. Methods: This was done using various antioxidant models; 1,1-diphenyl-2-picryl hydroxyl (DPPH) quenching assay and superoxide anion(O 2 ) scavenging assay. Phenolic contents, flavonoid contents and ascorbic acid contents were also estimated Results: The results of this study revealed that Thithonia diversifolia possessed a significantly higher (P < 0.05) phenolic content (115.00 13.00mg/100g), flavonoid content (120.67 11.01mg/100g) quercetin equivalent (QE) and ascorbic acid content (55.00 4.58mg/100g) of vitamin C equivalent, when compared with the phenolic content (81.00 2.65mg/100g), flavonoid content (85.00 4.00mg/100g QE) and ascorbic acid content (67.33 3.06mg/100g) of vitamin C equivalent, when compared with the phenolic content (81.00 + 2.65 mg/100g), flavonoid content (85.00 + 4.00 mg/100g QE) and ascorbic acid content(67.33 + 3.06 mg/100g of vitamin C equivalent) of Tridax procumbens respectively. The DPPH Quenching activity of the METP showed higher effective antioxidant activity at 80g/ml and 100g/ml to be 102.00 1.00 and 109.00 6.56 respectively which were significantly different when compared to the standard which had 90.00 2.65 and 94.00 2.00 at same concentrations. But the values of METD was observed to be 50.00 0.87 and 50.10 0.90 which decreased significantly compared to values of METP and that of BHT. The Superoxide Scavenging Activity of METP also showed significant increase at all levels of concentration of extracts when compared to the METD.
Generation of MC-38 adenocarcinoma tumor-specific tumor infiltrating lymphocytes by murine anti-CD3 antibody and recombinant interleukin-2. (1991)

The growth, in vitro cytolytic activity and phenotype of murine MC-38 adenocarcinoma tumor infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) stimulated with anti-CD3 monoclonal antibody (mAb) and recombinant interleukin-2 (RIL-2) as compared to RIL-2 alone was investigated. When assayed for growth, anti-CD3 mAb + RIL-2 MC-38 TILs demonstrated an enhanced proliferative activity compared to RIL-2 alone (fold expansion, 16,228 and 365,713 compared to 112 and 5594, culture times: 55 and 118 days, experiments 1 and 2, respectively). TILs cultured with anti-CD3 mAb alone demonstrated little expansion (fold expansion 6 and 3, experiments 1 and 2, respectively). Early during culture, the anti-CD3 mAb + RIL-2 MC-38 expanded TILs demonstrated broad cytolytic activity (LU: day 17, against MCA-102: greater than 125, YAC-1: greater than 125, MC-38, greater than 125). This lytic picture reversed with time with increasing specificity demonstrated against MC-38 (LU: day 53, MCA-102: less than 1, YAC-1: less than 1, MC-38: 8). TILs expanded with RIL-2 alone demonstrated more lysis of the YAC-1 target and little lysis of the other targets.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
Leptomeningeal metastases (1991)

Thirty consecutive patients with cytologically documented leptomeningeal metastases (LM) underwent intraventricular 111indium-DTPA (In) CSF flow studies (FS). Sixteen patients (53%) had normal In FS. Fourteen patients (47%) had documented compartmentalization of the CSF system. In four patients unsuspected CSF block was confined to the base of brain with limited spinal descent and poor cerebral convexity ascent of In. All patients received whole-brain irradiation and two were subsequently shown to have normal In FS. In 10 other patients, suspected (eight) and unsuspected (two) spinal blocks were seen. Patients with spinal blocks underwent CT myelography or spine MR and were subsequently treated with involved-field irradiation. Following radiation therapy, normal In FS were achieved in only two patients with documented spinal cord blocks. In conclusion, antegrade In FS in patients with LM are useful in defining levels of CSF blocks. Following treatment of patients with CSF blocks with involved-field irradiation, normal In FS can be restored in approximately one third.

Turbulent flow in a channel with a wall with progressive waves (1984)

The effects of prescribed wall motion on turbulent channel flow were examined with the objective of understanding the drag mechanisms and obtaining a possible means for drag reduction. A computer program for large-eddy simulation (LES) of turbulent flow in a channel was adapted to treat the case of time-varying wall motion using linearized boundary conditions. The code was applied to flow in a channel with prescribed wall motion on one wall. It was found that the results can be explained by a model based on a Stokes-like layer near the moving wall. This provides a theory which can be used to guide the selection of parameters. Considering both viscous and pressure drag components, it was found that net drag reduction is possible under certain conditions of wall motion. However, the work required to drive the wall motion can be greater than the reduced through-flow energy requirement. The major effects of the wall motion are restricted to the viscous sublayer of the turbulent flow.
Silver poisoning associated with an antismoking lozenge. (1979)

demand expertise.If this is lacking then expert supervision should be at hand.When this is not available, as in practical terms it may not be, then how much wiser it is to stop well short of that critical force.A trial of forceps therefore should still be a laudable and well-recognised procedure, and a "failed forceps" never regarded as an obstetric failure, unless the danger force is exceeded.No amount of experience will always predict the outcome of every instrumental delivery.Perhaps in the electronic age we could design a special type of strain gauge attached to the forceps handles.Failing this, a change in some attitudes towards trials of forceps, and in particular failed forceps, could certainly help.
Determination and communication of color using the five color dimensions of teeth. (2001)

The determination and communication of color in dentistry is based on dated concepts that cause difficulty for clinicians and technicians who use their personal experiences to interpret this parameter, which is so important in aesthetic care. In this article, the author proposes a concept of color that has evolved from the observation and study of extracted and in vivo natural dentition. This research has been performed with the aim of providing the clinician with a predictable method of determining color from clinical evidence.
Pathogenic Mechanisms in Periodontal Disease (1994)

Periodontal diseases have been considered as "infections" in which micro-organisms initiate and maintain the destructive inflammatory response. Host-mediated tissue destruction occurs via complement activation and the release of lysosomal enzymes, and connective tissue matrix metalloproteinases. Microbial enzymes may damage connective tissues directly, and, together with toxic metabolites and structural materials, are thought to disrupt the reparative activities of fibroblasts and cells of the immune defenses. The significance and relative contributions of host and microbial factors to the disease process remain unresolved. Environmental changes in the gingival sulcus and periodontal pocket and tissues, the degree of the host response and nutrient availability, concomitant with disease progression, compromise tissue metabolism and repair, and allow for enhanced or de novo expression of microbial virulence factors, such as proteases, which alter microbial pathogenicity. Proteolytic destruction of specific antibodies and complement by both viable and non-viable bacterial cells may retard phagocytic killing and removal of pathogens, thus prolonging the inflammatory response. Bacterial products may indirectly mediate tissue destruction by stimulating release of matrix metalloproteinases or by proteolytically inactivating the specific inhibitors of these enzymes.
Acetyl-p-aminophenol and Vitamin C in Heat-Stressed Birds (1967)

A COMMON drug for pain and fever reduction is the compound, aspirin (acetylsalicylic acid). Acetyl-p-aminophenol (APAP), although not used as commonly as is aspirin, is a more potent antipyretic and analgesic drug. It is not possible to successfully measure pain in chickens, but it is possible to record changes in body temperature. Glick (1962) reported that low levels of aspirin (0.07% and 0.15%) did not affect body weight in chickens. In later research, Glick (1963) found that feeding acetylsalicylic acid for 5 or 56 days did not influence normal body temperature. However, when birds were subjected to a sudden rise in environmental temperature, the cloacal temperature of heat-stressed birds fed aspirin was lower than the cloacal temperature of the control birds. The literature reports no trials in which APAP (acetyl-p-aminophenol) was fed to chicks. The purpose of this experiment was to determine the effects of APAP on heat-stressed chickens. Since . . .

Calculations of the electronic spectra and hyperpolarisabilities of selected dyes and pigments (1991)

A method has been developed for the calculation of the spectra and hyperpolarisability tensor for the linear electro-optic effect at the CNDO/S level of approximation using a sum-over-states procedure with singly excited states. A wide range of dyes and pigments have been studied to assess their potential as non-linear optical materials using both static-field and frequency-dependent values. Conjugated systems containing strong donors and acceptors positioned at either end of the conjugation path show the largest intrinsic effects. Substantial resonance enhancement effects occur for molecules such as azobenzenes and azoheterocycles which absorb in the red or infrared region of the spectrum.
