A Blocking Enzyme‐Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) for Bovine Virus Diarrhoea Virus Serology (1986)

Summary A blocking enzyme‐linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for the detection and titration of serum antibodies to bovine virus diarrhoea (BVD) virus is described. The ELISA was compared with a virus neutralization (VN) test. A positive correlation was found between the BVD virus antibody titres measured with the two tests and an equal effectiveness was found in measuring maternal antibodies. The VN test appeared to be more sensitive in detecting an early immune response as shown by the results of an experimental infection. The two tests showed a similar sensitivity in making a diagnosis of BVD virus infection by testing paired serum samples from the field. Zusammenfassung Ein enzymgebundener Hemm‐Immunadsorptionstest (ELISA) zum serologischen Nachweis von Bovinem Virus‐Diarrhoe Virus Ein enzymgebundener Hemm‐Immunadsorptionstest (ELISA) zum Nachweis und zur Titration von Serum‐Antikörpern gegen das Bovine Virus‐Diarrhoe (BVD) Virus wird beschrieben. Der ELISA‐Test wurde mit einem Virus‐Neutralisationstest (VN) verglichen. Eine positive Korrelation wurde zwischen den in beiden Tests gemessenen BVD‐Antikörper‐Titern gefunden. Gleiche Brauchbarkeit wurde beim Nachweis maternaler Antikörper festgestellt. Der VN‐Test erschien sensitiver beim Nachweis früherer Immunreaktionen, wie die Ergebnisse einer experimentellen Infektion zeigten. Beide Tests hatten etwa gleiche Empfindlichkeit zur Diagnose einer BVD‐Virus‐Infektion bei der Untersuchung von Serumpaaren aus der Praxis.
Challenges in the association of human single nucleotide polymorphism mentions with unique database identifiers (2011)

Comparable approaches usually focus on variations mentioned on the protein sequence and neglect problems for other SNP mentions. The results presented here indicate that normalizing SNPs described on DNA level is more difficult than the normalization of SNPs described on protein level. The challenges associated with normalization are exemplified with ambiguities and errors, which occur in this corpus.

Four-component surface-consistent deconvolution (1993)

Abstract When performing four-component surface-consistent deconvolution, it is assumed that the decomposition of amplitude spectra into source, receiver, offset, and common-depth-point components enables accurate deconvolution filters to be derived. However, relatively little effort has been put into the verification of this assumption. Some verification of the assumption is available by analyzing the results of the surface-consistent decomposition of real seismic data. The surface-consistent log-amplitude spectra of land seismic data are able to provide convincing evidence that the source component collects effects of the source signature and near-source structural effects, and that the receiver component collects receiver characteristics and near-receiver structural effects. In addition, the offset component collects effects due to ground roll and average reflectivity, and the CDP component collects mostly random noise unless it is constrained to be smooth. Based on the results of this analysis, deconvolution filters should be constructed from the source and receiver components, while the offset and CDP components are discarded.The four-component surface-consistent decomposition can be performed efficiently by making use of a simple rearrangement of the Gauss-Seidel matrix inversion equations. The algorithm requires just two passes through the prestack data volume, regardless of the sorted order of the data, so it is useful for both two-dimensional and three-dimensional (2-D and 3-D) data volumes.
Optimization with load prediction in asynchronous generator driven tugboat propulsion system (2017)

Mostly tugboats are powered by diesel-electric generators for meeting power of auxiliary loads and of electric motors for propulsive load. This paper proposes the optimal fuel management in diesel-electric generators considering doubly fed asynchronous machine (DFAM) as generator. An optimization problem is formulated to schedule the available power sources aiming for best possible fuel efficiency. The performance of optimal control strategies critically depends on future load applied in generator. Considering this for predicting tugboat load demand a simple predictive methodology is proposed based on the average mode time per cycle. The proposed control mechanism is able to respond to any sudden load change and also to emergency halt condition. DFAM as generator is considered for improving the system efficiency at low load region. Speed of the diesel engine is decided by the load demand. Output voltage and frequency of DFAM at variable speeds are regulated by power electronic convertors, connected in rotor circuit.
Identification of Shredded Plastics in milliseconds using Raman spectroscopy for recycling (2009)

Raman spectroscopy is able to identify plastic components, similar to infrared absorption. This paper shows the potential application of Raman spectroscopy to post-consumer plastic recycling when massive and accurate sorting processes are required. We developed a high-speed Raman apparatus for scanning with an appropriate wavelength region of less as 1.5 milliseconds, and an analyzing methodology that uses a discrimination function. We successfully implemented this technique in a shredded plastic recycling plant. The online sensing system successfully carried out more than three hundred cycle decisions per second.
Defining the effective radius of curvature for a nonideal optical beam (1991)

A simple expression is given for evaluating the effective or average radius of curvature R(z) of an arbitrarily wrinkled, distorted, or nondiffraction-limited optical beam. This real-beam radius of curvature obeys the same free-space propagation equation as does the wavefront curvature of an ideal Gaussian beam. Extracting this correctable curvature from the beam at any plane simultaneously collimates the beam, makes that location a waist for the real beam, and minimizes the far-field beam divergence starting from that position.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>

Effects of cations upon absorption spectra. Part 4.—Octahedral-tetrahedral equilibria between chloro-nickel(II) complexes in ethylene glycol and glycerol (1969)

The various chloro-nickel(II) complexes formed in ethylene glycol and glycerol as the concentration of added chloride and the temperature is increased are identified. With all the chlorides investigated, except lithium, the species Ni(solvent)2+x, NiCl(solvent)+y and NiCl2–4 are obtained in ethylene glycol: x is a number between 3 and 6, and y a number between 3 and 5, since ethylene glycol is potentially a bidentate ligand. In the presence of lithium chloride the above specices and NiCl2(solvent)z, where z can be 2, 3 or 4, and NiCl3(solvent)– are detected. In glycerol, the same situation obtains but, since glycerol is potentially tridentate, the various species are written Ni(solvent)2+p, p being 2–6; NiCl(solvent)+q, q being 2–5; and NiCl2(solvent)r, r being 2–4. An octahedral arrangement of chlorine and oxygen is always maintained around nickel except in NiCl2–4 and NiCl3(solvent)–where the arrangement is tetrahedral. An equilibrium between monochloro species and NiCl2–4 is observed with all chlorides, except lithium, in ethylene glycol and glycerol, and ΔH is +14 ± 1 and +15 ± 1 kcal/mol and ΔS+ 41 and +42 cal/mol deg., respectively.
Enabling hypermedia messaging (1994)

Hypermedia is well known as a simple and natural extension of multimedia and hypertext. Multimedia provides the richness in data types that facilitates flexibility in expressing information, while hypertext provides a control structure that supports an elegant way of navigating through this data in a content-based manner. The power of hypermedia results from merging both techniques. Providing those extended features on the users desktop environment and in consequence, combining them with available communication infrastructure to allow for distributed working, will be the next step into the future. To integrate hypermedia and messaging is the goal of our work. The given approach allows to use existing messaging systems to transport hypermedia information without changes to message transport services.

Recurrent Backpropagation and the Dynamical Approach to Adaptive Neural Computation (1989)

Error backpropagation in feedforward neural network models is a popular learning algorithm that has its roots in nonlinear estimation and optimization. It is being used routinely to calculate error gradients in nonlinear systems with hundreds of thousands of parameters. However, the classical architecture for backpropagation has severe restrictions. The extension of backpropagation to networks with recurrent connections will be reviewed. It is now possible to efficiently compute the error gradients for networks that have temporal dynamics, which opens applications to a host of problems in systems identification and control.
Huge Pelvic Mass, Cutaneous and Vaginal Fistulas, and Bilateral Hydronephrosis: A Rare Presentation of Actinomycosis with a Good Response to Conservative Treatment and with Long-Term Sequelae of Renal (2008)

Objective: Actinomycosis with an extended pelvic abscess is an uncommon condition, which usually occurs coincident with the presence of an intrauterine contraceptive device (IUD) in the uterine cavity. The clinical picture of pelvic actinomycosis may vary between individuals, is often accompanied by complications, and is frequently misdiagnosed. Here, we report a case of pelvic actinomycosis, presenting as a huge pelvic mass and complicated by a vaginal fistula, a cutaneous fistula, and bilateral hydronephrosis, and we discuss the diagnosis and management of this patient. Case Report: A 35-year-old woman was referred to our hospital with a huge pelvic complex mass and progressively worsening low abdominal pain. The tumor workup, which included a computed tomography (CT) scan, revealed an extended pelvic abscess and bilateral hydronephrosis. Both cutaneous and vaginal fistulas were also noted. Endometrial curettage and biopsies of the skin and vaginal lesions confirmed the diagnosis of actinomycosis. The patient underwent conservative treatment and recovered well, although the skin lesion only healed after 12 weeks of oral antibiotic treatment. At the 1-year follow-up, a CT scan showed sequelae including a mildly atrophic left kidney and left hydronephrosis. Conclusion: In patients presenting with a pelvic mass and an IUD in the uterine cavity, the diagnosis of actinomycosis should be seriously considered. A detailed workup, including a CT scan, endometrial curettage and biopsies where possible, should be performed before surgery. Once diagnosis has been confirmed, conservative medical treatment should be attempted before considering laparotomy, to reduce the risk of complications. Despite successful treatment with antibiotics, long-term sequelae such as hydronephrosis and renal atrophy are possible in cases of extended pelvic actinomycosis.
A model-driven cooperative enterprise process enactment environment (2008)

This article works on a model-driven process enactment environment supporting enterprise cooperative work based on EPMS system. Some key technologies from model to system are discussed, such as the mapping between activities in process models and the service functions of applications, how to use XML to describe the process model, and workflow engine technique. An architecture of process-driven enterprise enactment system is proposed and a case study has been implemented to validate the proposed methods in 4PL business system.
Subunit-Specific Regulation of NMDA Receptor Endocytosis (2004)

At excitatory synapses, both NMDA and AMPA receptors are localized to the postsynaptic density (PSD). However, unlike AMPA receptors, synaptic NMDA receptors are stable components of the PSD. Even so, surface-expressed NMDA receptors undergo endocytosis, which is more robust early in development and declines during synaptic development. We investigated the subunit-specific contributions to NMDA receptor endocytosis, specifically defining the endocytic motifs and endocytic pathways preferred by the NR2A and NR2B subunits. We find that NR2A and NR2B have distinct endocytic motifs encoded in their distal C termini and that these interact with clathrin adaptor complexes with differing affinities. We also find that NR2A and NR2B sort into different intracellular pathways after endocytosis, with NR2B preferentially trafficking through recycling endosomes. In mature cultures, we find that NR2B undergoes more robust endocytosis than NR2A, consistent with previous studies showing that NR2A is more highly expressed at stable synaptic sites. Our findings demonstrate fundamental differences between NR2A and NR2B that help clarify developmental changes in NMDA receptor trafficking and surface expression.
Behaviour of character association in three diverse breeding populations of chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) (2004)

The character association at phenotypic and genotypic levels were estimated in four populations of chickpea viz., P1, P2, P3 and P4 comprising genotypes Developed through intraspecific and intorspecific hybridization, mutation breeding and pooled genotypes, respectively. In general, the populations P2 andP3 exhibited larger changes in the correlation, which suggest that interspecific hybridization and mutation breeding should be followed for getting large number of new combinations of breaking the linkages in chickpea.
Measurements and predictions of flyover and static noise of a TF30 afterburning turbofan engine (1978)

The noise of the TF30 afterburning turbofan engine in an F-111 airplane was determined from static (ground) and flyover tests. A survey was made to measure the exhaust temperature and velocity profiles for a range of power settings. Comparisons were made between predicted and measured jet mixing, internal, and shock noise. It was found that the noise produced at static conditions was dominated by jet mixing noise, and was adequately predicted by current methods. The noise produced during flyovers exhibited large contributions from internally generated noise in the forward arc. For flyovers with the engine at nonafterburning power, the internal noise, shock noise, and jet mixing noise were accurately predicted. During flyovers with afterburning power settings, however, additional internal noise believed to be due to the afterburning process was evident; its level was as much as 8 decibels above the nonafterburning internal noise. Power settings that produced exhausts with inverted velocity profiles appeared to be slightly less noisy than power settings of equal thrust that produced uniform exhaust velocity profiles both in flight and in static testing.
20-30대 유자녀 모의 심리적?사회적 요인이 기대자녀수에 미치는 영향 (2011)

본 연구는 모의 다자녀 계획을 결정하는데 영향을 줄 수 있는 다양한 심리적, 사회적 요인이 기대자녀 수에 미치는 영향을 살펴봄으로써 저출산의 원인을 파악하여 다출산을 유도하기 위한 프로그램 및 정책을 위한 기초자료로 활용하는데 그 목적이 있다. 본 연구는 육아정책연구소에서 수행 중인 패널연구 사업에서 한국아동패널 2008년 데이터를 사용한 것으로 연구대상은 최종 패널로 확정된 2,078 신생아 중 모 연령이 20, 30대인 2038 가구이다. 모의 심리적 요인과 사회적 요인에 따라 기대자녀수에 영향을 미치는 지를 분석한 결과 첫째, 모 개인 심리적 변인을 보면, 자녀에 대한 도구적 가치와 정서적 가치가 기대자녀수에 영향을 미치며 산후우울이 낮을 때 기대자녀 수가 높았다. 둘째, 모의 양육과 역할수행을 직·간접으로 지원하는 사회적 요인인 사회적 지지 변인들에 있어서는 남편의 양육참여가 적고 부모교육의 경험이 없을 때 기대자녀 수가 높았다. 셋째, 모의 사회적 요인인 육아지원정책 시행여부에 따른 기대자녀 수는 유의미한 차이를 보이지 않았다. 이러한 결과에 기초하여 다출산을 위한 시사점을 논의하였다.
Long-term non-progression of HIV-1 in a patient coinfected with HTLV-II (1999)

A 37-year-old man coinfected with HIV-1 and human T-lymphotropic virus type II presumably through injection drug use had a high CD4+ count and low HIV viral load without anti-retroviral therapy for over six years. As an HIV long-term non-progressor, his case supports the hypothesis that coinfection with HTLV-II does not adversely affect the course of HIV disease.

Estimation of Electromagnetic of Libyan soil Properties by Stepped Frequency Radar (2007)

A vector network analyzer was used to measure the electromagnetic properties of two types of Libyan soil. The vector network analyzer was used to act as a stepped frequency ground probing radar. The frequency that was covered is from 1 to 3 GHz. A TEM horn antenna was used for transmission and reception. From the experiments the attenuation and time delay was measured. Then conductivity, permittivity and moisture content were estimated from the measurements. The samples were taken before and after it rained by a week following a long dry season. The experiments gave a reasonable estimation of the parameters and showed that clay retained its moisture for a longer period that sandy soil.
Resistance to Murine Leukemia in Mice Receiving Simultaneous Injections of Syngeneic Hybrid and Parental Neoplastic Cells (1977)

Abstract (A/J × C3H/HeJ)F1 mice (H-2a/k) exhibit no apparent resistance to the malignant proliferation of ASL-1 leukemia cells (H-2a), a spontaneously occurring neoplasm of A/J mouse origin. The period of survival after injections of ASL-1 cells is related to the number of cells introduced into the susceptible host. (A/J × C3H/HeJ)F1 mice receiving viable ASL-1 cells along with ASL-1 × LM(TK)- somatic hybrid cells (H-2a/k), syngeneic with the recipients, survived for statistically significant (p &lt; 0.001), longer periods than did mice receiving ASL-1 cells alone. Mice receiving ASL-1 and ASL-1 × LM(TK)- hybrid cells together survived for approximately twice as long as animals receiving ASL-1 cells alone. Mice receiving ASL-1 cells followed by hybrid cells survived for longer periods as well, but the therapeutic effects were less successful. ASL-1 × LM(TK)- hybrid cells are rejected after forming localized tumors by the immunocompetent F1 mice. In some instances, F1 animals previously rejecting hybrid cells and challenged subsequently with ASL-1 cells along with a second injection of hybrid cells survived indefinitely. The passive transfer of partial immunity to the leukemic cells could be achieved by injections of spleen cells from F1 mice that had rejected hybrid cells previously. Similar results were obtained for (A/J × C3H/HeJ)F1 mice receiving RADA-1 cells (H-2a), a radiation-induced leukemic line of A/J origin, along with RADA-1 × LM(TK)- hybrid cells (H-2a/k). The partial immunity induced by these lines of hybrid cells was cross-reactive: mice injected with ASL-1 cells and RADA-1 × LM(TK)- hybrid cells survived for prolonged periods, and vice versa.
Pronounced weight gain in insulin-treated patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus is associated with an unfavourable cardiometabolic risk profile. (2010)

Pronounced weight gain after start of insulin therapy in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) may offset beneficial effects conferred by the improvement of glycaemic control. This hypothesis was tested by comparing the cardiometabolic risk profile of a group of type 2 diabetes patients with a marked increase in body weight ('gainers) after the start of insulin treatment and a similar group without any or only minimal weight gain ('non-gainers'). In a cross-sectional study, we compared two predefined groups of patients with T2DM who had been on insulin therapy for a mean of 4.0 years: 'gainers' vs 'non-gainers'. Cardiometabolic risk was assessed by measuring fat content and distribution (physical examination, bioelectrical impedance analysis, dual energy X-ray absorption, and magnetic resonance imaging), liver fat content (magnetic resonance spectroscopy), physical activity levels (Sensewear® armband) and plasma markers. Each subgroup consisted of 14 patients. Gainers had significantly more total body and trunk fat (especially subcutaneous fat) compared with no-gainers. Gainers had similar liver fat content, and slightly higher levels of fat hormones. Furthermore, gainers performed significantly less physical activity. Lastly, gainers had higher total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and alanine aminotransferase levels with similar cholesterol-lowering treatment. Patients with T2DM who show pronounced weight gain during insulin therapy have a less favourable cardiometabolic risk profile compared with patients who show no or minimal weight gain.
