CRC World Dictionary of Grasses: Common Names, Scientific Names, Eponyms, Synonyms, and Etymology - 3 Volume Set (2006)

From the Foreword
Umberto Quattrocchi has brought us some amazing and useful works through the various dictionaries that he has compiled. This time it is for two very important plant families the palms and the cycads that are synthesized here in these two volumes. Each entry is fascinating not just for the botany and full nomenclature of the plant species but for all the associated uses, folklore and interactions with other organisms. ...These entries are fascinating glimpses of natural history. Botanists, conservationists, ethnobotanists, anthropologists, geographers, bird watchers, naturalists, historians and those of many other disciplines will find these volumes a most valuable and useful resource. It is the sort of book that will be in frequent use in my library.
----- Professor Sir Ghillean Prance FRS, VMH, Former Director, Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew 

　
Following the same format as Umberto Quattrocchi’s highly praised and well-used previous works, The CRC World Dictionary of Palms: Common Names, Scientific Names, Eponyms, Synonyms, and Etymology brings together the vast and scattered literature on palms and cycads to provide better access to information on these economically important plants. Each genus and species has a detailed morphological description and includes a list of synonyms and vernacular names in many languages.
Bibliographies accompany each entry which are comprehensive, up-to-date and multi-lingual. The detailed information for every entry on habitats, economic uses, historical and biographical data, botanical exploration, and linguistics will be useful for any library involved with botany, herbal medicine, pharmacognosy, medicinal and natural product chemistry, ecology, ethnobotany, systematics, general plant science, agriculture or horticulture. 
Umberto Quattrocchi is the author of the bestselling CRC World Dictionary of Plant Names, winner of the prestigious Hanbury Botanical Garden Award. His most recent multi-volume work, CRC World Dictionary of Medicinal and Poisonous Plants, received strong praise as being ... an unparalleled starting place—a tool of first resort for any thoughtful researcher. Quattrocchi and CRC have delivered a dictionary like no other, a learned finger pointing in the right direction.

Embryonic mortality and the uterine environment in first-service lactating dairy cows (1988)

Embryos were collected non-surgically from the tip of one uterine horn of 23 lactating dairy cows on Day 7 of pregnancy. Embryos were classified on the basis of morphological criteria as normal (n = 12) or abnormal (n = 13). Abnormal embryos were further classified as cleavage stage (n = 9) or morula/blastocyst (n = 4). Cows producing an abnormal embryo did not differ in days post partum at oestrus, age or parity from cows producing a normal embryo. Cows with an abnormal morula/blastocyst also did not differ with respect to days post partum at oestrus from cows with abnormal cleavage-stage embryos but cows with an abnormal morula/blastocyst were significantly older and of greater parity than cows with an abnormal cleavage-stage embryo. Hepes-saline-PVP solution (30 ml) was initially infused into the uterine tip, mixed and then withdrawn with a syringe. Analysis of this fluid revealed that the concentrations of glucose, total protein, calcium, magnesium and potassium were significantly higher in the flushings from the uterus of cows with abnormal embryos than from cows with normal embryos and zinc and phosphorus tended to be higher in the uterine flushings of cows with abnormal embryos. Phosphorus, total protein, calcium and magnesium tended to be higher in the flushings from cows with abnormal morulae/blastocysts than from cows with abnormal cleavage-stage embryos. Plasma progesterone did not differ between cows with normal or abnormal embryos or in cows with abnormal morulae/blastocysts or abnormal cleavage-stage embryos. Most embryonic mortality therefore occurred before Day 5 (during cleavage) in these cows.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
Progressive adaptation of hepatic ketogenesis in mice fed a high-fat diet (2010)

Hepatic ketogenesis provides a vital systemic fuel during fasting because ketone bodies are oxidized by most peripheral tissues and, unlike glucose, can be synthesized from fatty acids via mitochondrial beta-oxidation. Since dysfunctional mitochondrial fat oxidation may be a cofactor in insulin-resistant tissue, the objective of this study was to determine whether diet-induced insulin resistance in mice results in impaired in vivo hepatic fat oxidation secondary to defects in ketogenesis. Ketone turnover (micromol/min) in the conscious and unrestrained mouse was responsive to induction and diminution of hepatic fat oxidation, as indicated by an eightfold rise during the fed (0.50+/-0.1)-to-fasted (3.8+/-0.2) transition and a dramatic blunting of fasting ketone turnover in PPARalpha(-/-) mice (1.0+/-0.1). C57BL/6 mice made obese and insulin resistant by high-fat feeding for 8 wk had normal expression of genes that regulate hepatic fat oxidation, whereas 16 wk on the diet induced expression of these genes and stimulated the function of hepatic mitochondrial fat oxidation, as indicated by a 40% induction of fasting ketogenesis and a twofold rise in short-chain acylcarnitines. Together, these findings indicate a progressive adaptation of hepatic ketogenesis during high-fat feeding, resulting in increased hepatic fat oxidation after 16 wk of a high-fat diet. We conclude that mitochondrial fat oxidation is stimulated rather than impaired during the initiation of hepatic insulin resistance in mice.
Performance analysis case study (abstract) (1991)

A common requirement of computer vendor's competitive performance analysis departments is to measure and report on the performance characteristics of another vendor's system. In many cases the amount of prior knowledge concerning the competitor's systcm is limited to sales brochures and non-technical publications. Availability of the system for benchmarking is minimal; there is little choice concerning memory and I/O configurations; and time to complete the project is short. A project of this nature is not, however, unique to computer vendors. Many users of computer systems that want to better understand a system's performance characteristics before deciding on a purchase, are also faced with similar restrictions.
Screening for Ovarian Cancer (2011)

No effective screening methods for ovarian cancer that have been adequately validated are available. Routine screening for ovarian cancer in the general population is not currently recommended.
LSTM-based Deep Learning Models for Non-factoid Answer Selection (2015)

In this paper, we apply a general deep learning (DL) framework for the answer selection task, which does not depend on manually defined features or linguistic tools. The basic framework is to build the embeddings of questions and answers based on bidirectional long short-term memory (biLSTM) models, and measure their closeness by cosine similarity. We further extend this basic model in two directions. One direction is to define a more composite representation for questions and answers by combining convolutional neural network with the basic framework. The other direction is to utilize a simple but efficient attention mechanism in order to generate the answer representation according to the question context. Several variations of models are provided. The models are examined by two datasets, including TREC-QA and InsuranceQA. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed models substantially outperform several strong baselines.
Machine Learning based Question Classification Methods in the Question Answering Systems (2013)

ABSTRACT: The Question Answering Systems (QASs) use method of information retrieval and Information extraction to retrieves documents that contain special answers to the question. One of the existence problems is finding the desired information from this very high variety. For this reason, it is necessary to find ways for organizing, classification and retrieving of information. Question classification plays an important role in providing a correct answer on QASs because giving a bunch of formulated questions to provide the correct answer from among the many documents will be highly effective. The aim of classification is selecting suitable label for questions based on the expected response. In this paper, we investigate the effect of automatically classifying questions on machine learning algorithms. In this paper, we will explain different types of algorithms and compare and evaluate them and next we will investigate the existence algorithms &apos; weakness and advantage in question classification. As a result, in the past most classification was done based on sets of words that many studies show that to maximize the efficiency of the classification of algorithms we require semantics and in the questions we should looking for feature that be close to the meaning of questions. A great deal of research proposed to analysis and to classify emotions and to extract knowledge from them and to classify them using semantic and linguistic knowledge but it still

WHO activities towards the three Rs in the development and control of biological products. (1996)

WHO supports the concept of replacement, reduction and refinement of the use of in vivo methods for biologicals production and control, and regularly conducts reviews of its recommended procedures to allow reduction in the use of animals. The coordination of collaborative studies, publication of standardized methods, and holding of workshops on the use of these methods contributes to their use. The neurovirulence test for oral poliovaccine is probably the single most visible animal test for which alternative methods are sought. Collaborative studies on alternative methods for screening products are currently being sponsored by WHO. The use of Vero cells rather than primary monkey kidney cells for poliovaccine production can avoid the use of many monkeys. Cell banks of Vero and HEp-2 cells have been developed by WHO, tested for virus sensitivity and freedom from adventitious agents, and are available for vaccine production and control, replacing primary animal cells. For the future, final product testing will increasingly be directed towards establishment of consistency of production rather than potency. By supporting the validation and use of this approach, WHO can effectively influence more rational animal use in biological production and control.
Feasibility of Subtotal Laryngectomy Based on Whole-Organ Examination (1985)

Subtotal (near-total) laryngectomy has recently been advocated to eradicate large laryngeal tumors. The operation, which preserves the cricoarytenoid joint and adjacent vocal fold, is based on the premise that many T3 and T4 tumors can be resected without complete sacrifice of the phonatory mechanism. The purpose of this study was to verify or disprove the assumption by examining sections of whole-organ laryngeal specimens. Twenty-four of the 64 specimens analyzed were determined to be resectable by subtotal laryngectomy. Twenty-two other specimens could have been resected by a more conventional conservation technique such as hemilaryngectomy or supraglottic laryngectomy. This study supports the concept of subtotal laryngectomy for selected large tumors. Guidelines for determining the suitability of the technique are suggested.
Identifying Relevant Sentences in News Articles for Event Information Extraction (2006)

This paper develops a Natural Language Processing method for extracting temporal information of events from news articles. The extraction process is based on the result of a morpho-syntactic analysis. The obtained results, which are a translation of morpho-syntactic sentences, are skimmed in order to identify temporal markers. In our approach, we consider a specific description of events. Our approach is based on a methodology of temporal markers classes and on a contextual exploration method. Our experimental results indicate that our approach is significant for extracting relevant event information. We have also achieved a system, called EXEV, on the basis of the proposed approach and have empirically verified its effectiveness. More specifically, EXEV system automatically extracts all information about events (paragraphs or sentences) from news articles and specifies more information about events: associations, locations, temporal settings, etc. The system was tested on press articles and gives recall and precision more than 80%.
Assessment of anticonvulsant effectiveness and safety in patients with Angelman’s syndrome using an Internet questionnaire (2003)

An Internet questionnaire was used to collect data from caregivers about seizure activities and drug therapies of patients with Angelman's syndrome (AS). A questionnaire to collect data on AS patient demographics, seizure types, laboratory diagnosis, and past history of anticonvulsant use was developed and distributed among the membership of multiple AS groups primarily through the Internet. Caregivers of AS patients were asked to rate each drug listed on the questionnaire for its effect on the patient's behavior and alertness and on the severity and frequency of the patient's seizures. A 6-point rating scale was used, with the lowest score representing the most favorable effect. Primary considerations of the survey were to reach as many people as possible, anonymously and quickly, in a widely comprehensible format. Data were collected between March 22 and October 9, 2002. Of the 88 complete questionnaires received, 75 were electronic and 13 were handwritten responses. Forty-seven percent of respondents reported patients' use of a combination of medications at some point, with 59 different combinations described, 21 of which consisted of three or more medications. The most commonly reported regimens were valproic acid and clonazepam, valproic acid and topiramate (with or without clonazepam), valproic acid and lamotrigine, and phenytoin and carbamazepine. Patient characteristics and seizure types were consistent with those of AS patients described in the literature. Topiramate and ethosuximide were rated favorably, consistent with previously published reports. Responses to the questionnaire were widespread and rapid, with 42 responses collected in the first week. An Internet questionnaire helped collect self-reported efficacy information from caregivers of AS patients.
Percepção dos profissionais de saúde acerca da diferença entre autonomia corporal e gravidez (2018)

O estudo objetivou discutir as concepções de profissionais de saúde, sobretudo de enfermagem, atuantes em uma maternidade pública, acerca da autodeterminação corporal da mulher a partir das Políticas Públicas vigentes. Trata-se de uma pesquisa exploratória, avaliativa com abordagem quantitativa. O cenário desta investigação foi o Município de Caxias-MA, sendo utilizado como campo de pesquisa a Maternidade Carmosina Coutinho. A população do estudo foi composta por 73 profissionais de saúde, atuantes na referida instituição. A coleta de dados ocorreu mediante a aplicação de um questionário. A maioria dos profissionais discorda que a mulher tenha direito à autodeterminação corporal em todas as circunstâncias. A correlação entre o questionamento de que a mulher deve fazer o quiser com seu corpo, inclusive abortar, com o sexo, demonstrou que 54,1% das mulheres responderam concordar em parte e 58,3% dos homens discordam. Na variável religião, houve uma igualdade de opiniões (50%) entre concordar e discordar com a afirmativa entre os profissionais que afirmavam ser católicos. Os direitos sexuais e reprodutivos devem ser garantidos às mulheres em todas as situações, porém nem sempre os serviços e profissionais de saúde, sobretudo enfermeiros, contribuem para que esses direitos sejam plenamente exercidos, reforçando a necessidade de capacitação
A novel technique for narrowband/broadband interference excision in DS-SS communications (2002)

A novel technique for narrowband/broadband frequency selective limiting in direct sequence-spread spectrum (DS-SS) communications is presented. This technique relies on setting the magnitude response of the received signal Fourier transform to a predetermined function while leaving the phase response unchanged. When the Fourier transform magnitude response of the signal is made constant over the entire signal spectrum, this nonlinear processor will operate as a whitening filter.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>
Detection of FOXO1 (FKHR) Gene Break-apart by Fluorescence In Situ Hybridization in Formalin-fixed, Paraffin-embedded Alveolar Rhabdomyosarcomas and Its Clinicopathologic Correlation (2008)

Chromosomal translocations of t(2;13)(q35;q14) and t(1;13)(p36;q14), resulting in PAX3-FOXO1 (FKHR) and PAX7-FOXO1 (FKHR) gene fusions, have been found to be specific molecular markers for alveolar rhabdomyosarcomas (ARMS) and can be identified in approximately 80% cases. As the prognosis of ARMS is worse than that of embryonal rhabdomyosarcomas (ERMS), it is important to accurately distinguish between these 2 subtypes. This distinction may be difficult on the basis of morphology alone. To detect the genetic alterations, reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) or dual-color dual-fusion fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) have been used in most studies so far. In this study, we used FOXO1 (FKHR) gene break-apart FISH probe, which can detect both of the translocations involving the FOXO1 gene, and tested 20 cases of rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) including 6 cases of ARMS, 8 ERMS, 1 pleomorphic type, 5 not otherwise specified (RMS-NOS), and 10 non-RMS sarcomas. A home-brew RT-PCR that could detect both PAX3-FOXO1 and PAX7-FOXO1 was also performed. Four pathologists independently reviewed all RMS and a consensus diagnosis was also reached in discrepant cases. Histologic and molecular findings were correlated with clinical outcomes with an average of a 49-month follow-up. FOXO1 break-apart by FISH was positive in 4 of 6 (66%) ARMS and 2 of 5 (40%) RMS-NOS cases. All other cases, including all ERMS, were negative. RT-PCR assay confirmed all FISH results. While 2 of 6 (33%) RMS patients with a FOXO1 break-apart died of the disease, there were no deaths among the patients with negative result. The FOXO1 gene break-apart FISH probe is a simple and accurate tool to detect the translocations associated with ARMS. As characteristic genetic alterations of ARMS can be identified in 40% of RMS-NOS cases in our study, the FISH assay would provide an additional useful tool in the diagnosis and prognosis of ARMS, and an alternative to RT-PCR.
Flaxseed and Its Lignans Inhibit Estradiol-Induced Growth, Angiogenesis, and Secretion of Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor in Human Breast Cancer Xenografts <i>In vivo</i> (2007)

Our results suggest that flaxseed and its lignans have potent antiestrogenic effects on estrogen receptor-positive breast cancer and may prove to be beneficial in breast cancer prevention strategies in the future.
THE METABOLISM OF HALOGEN-SUBSTITUTED BENZOIC ACIDS BY <i>PSEUDOMONAS FLUORESCENS</i> (1965)

1. Washed suspensions of Pseudomonas fluorescens, grown with benzoate as sole carbon source, oxidize monohalogenobenzoates in the following descending order of effectiveness: benzoate, fluorobenzoates, chlorobenzoates, bromobenzoates, iodobenzoates. 2. Cells grown on asparagine oxidize benzoate after an adaptive period of 90-120min. This adaptive period is increased by halogenobenzoates in the following approximate descending order of effectiveness: chlorobenzoates, fluorobenzoates (=bromobenzoates), iodobenzoates. This inhibition of adaptation by halogeno analogues depends on the concentration of benzoate and is thus apparently competitive. 3. Cells do not adapt to oxidize the halobenzoates when the halogeno analogues are inducers. However, the fluorobenzoates reduce the lag period taken to form the benzoate-oxidizing system. 4. The halogenobenzoates inhibit adaptation to citrate and nicotinate but not so effectively as benzoate itself. This is presumably a ;diauxic' effect. The analogues do not inhibit adaptation to catechol. 5. The halogenobenzoates are not used as sole carbon source for growth nor do they increase growth when cells grow with asparagine as the main carbon source. 6. It is suggested that this inability to use the analogues for growth is due partly to inability of the cells to liberate the halogen and to carry the oxidation to a stage at which carbon may be assimilated and partly to the inhibition of the induction of the oxidizing enzymes.
Human growth hormone prevents the protein catabolic side effects of prednisone in humans. (1990)

Prednisone treatment causes protein wasting and adds additional risks to a patient, whereas human growth hormone (hGH) treatment causes positive nitrogen balance. To determine whether concomitant administration of hGH prevents the protein catabolic effects of prednisone, four groups of eight healthy volunteers each were studied using isotope dilution and nitrogen balance techniques after 7 d of placebo, hGH alone (0.1 mg.kg-1.d-1), prednisone alone (0.8 mg.kg-1.d-1), or prednisone plus hGH (n = 8 in each group). Whether protein balance was calculated from the leucine kinetic data or nitrogen balance values, prednisone alone induced protein wasting (P less than 0.001), whereas hGH alone resulted in positive (P less than 0.001) protein balance, when compared to the placebo-treated subjects. When hGH was added to prednisone therapy, the glucocorticoid-induced protein catabolism was prevented. Using leucine kinetic data, negative protein balance during prednisone was due to increased (P less than 0.05) proteolysis, whereas hGH had no effect on proteolysis and increased (P less than 0.01) whole body protein synthesis. During combined treatment, estimates of proteolysis and protein synthesis were similar to those observed in the placebo treated control group. In conclusion, human growth hormone may have a distinct role in preventing the protein losses associated with the administration of pharmacologic doses of glucocorticosteroids in humans.
Fast crystallization and void precipitation in laser pulse annealing of thin germanium films (1979)

A flash-excited dye laser of moderate power has been used to irradiate thin amorphous Ge films prepared by vacuum evaporation. TEM examination shows that complete crystallization of thermally isolated films up to a few hundred angstroms thickness occurs for a single laser pulse of ∼80 mJ/cm2. The crystals formed are up to ∼1 μ across and include precipitated voids whose origin is discussed in terms of a high-temperature fast-crystallization process.
