Voicing the Longing of the “Adolescent Heart” through Photography and Film: Connecting Transcendence and Revelation in Catholic Religious Education (2021)

This paper explores how through narrative pedagogies inspired simultaneously by divine pedagogy revealed in Scripture and the power of modern media to visually represent the human heart’s most profound longings, divine revelation can, through Catholic Religious Education (CRE), reach and transform adolescent hearts. Such a transformation is made possible through adolescents’ expression of transcendence in a communal context that is facilitated when metaphor’s power in helping adolescents tell stories about themselves is unlocked through photography and film. These media teach young people use their capacity for imagination and critical thinking more effectively and produce narratives of self through which they narrate who they are and would like to be. Such media impact identity through the process of merging words, imagery, music and movement, and can be so dynamic and effective in representing self. CRE can thus enable young people to become critical, even of their own past experiences, make them more integrated and coherent, empower them to meet life’s challenges, and afford them the opportunity to project their lives in the future as they wish them to be. All throughout such a process, adolescents learn more what God’s revelation entails and its potential to make human life more beautiful and meaningful.
Design of a V2X Vehicle Antenna (2018)

In this paper, we propose V2X shark-fin antenna that operated on vehicle roof. Propose antenna is composed of AM/FM Radio broadcasting, Digital Media Broadcasting (DMB), Global Positioning System (GPS), and dual V2X (Vehicle-to-everything) antennas. Propose antenna has -1.2 dBi in AM/FM Radio band, 5.8 dBi in DMB band, and 28 dBic in GPS band (Including Low Noise Amplifier). Especially designed antenna has -2.3 dBi average gain in V2X 1, -2.9 dBi average gain in V2X 2. V2X antenna's communication distance is $995 \sim 1329\mathrm {m}$ in Line-Of-Sight [LOS].
Synthesis by ATRP of poly(ethylene-co-butylene)-block-polystyrene, poly(ethylene-co-butylene)-block-poly(4-acetoxystyrene) and its hydrolysis product poly(ethylene-co-butylene)-block-poly(hydroxystyrene) (1999)

Diblock copolymers of poly(ethylene-co-butylene) and polystyrene or poly(4-acetoxystyrene) are synthesized by atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) using a 2-bromopropionic ester macroinitiator prepared from commercial monohydroxyl functional narrow dispersity hydrogenated polybutadiene (Kraton Liquid Polymer, L-1203). ATRP carried out in bulk and in xylene solution with cuprous bromide and two different complexing agents 2,2′-bipyridine (bipy) and 1,1,4,7,10,10-hexamethyltriethylenetetraamine (HMTETA) yielded well-defined diblock copolymers with polydispersities around 1,3. The diblock copolymer with poly(4-acetoxystyrene) was hydrolyzed to the corresponding poly(4-hydroxystyrene) sequence.

Increase by Deoxycholic Acid of the Colonic Nuclear Damage Induced by Known Carcinogens in C57BL/6J Mice<xref ref-type="fn" rid="FN2">2</xref> (1986)

Intrarectal exposure of the colon epithelium of the C57BL/6J female mouse to deoxycholic acid [(DCA) CAS: 83-44-3] markedly increased its sensitivity to orally administered 1,2-dimethylhydrazine [(DMH) CAS: 540-73-8]. While 4 mg DMH/kg body weight by itself increased the level of nuclear damage from a background level of 0.2-0.45 aberration per crypt, DMH when combined with DCA at a dose of 150 mg/kg increased the aberrations from 0.2 to 1.75 per crypt. This effect was observed over a wide range of DCA doses (20-300 mg/kg) and was evident when DMH was given up to 10 hours after the DCA. Similar results were observed with DCA in conjunction with benzo[a]pyrene (CAS: 50-32-8) and 2-amino-3,4-dimethylimidazo(4,5-f)quinoline (CAS: 77094-11-2), though in these cases the time at which the peak of nuclear aberrations occurred was somewhat later. No enhancement was seen with DCA and gamma-radiation. These results show that DCA can enhance the nucleotoxic effects of several carcinogens and suggest that DCA can act as a cocarcinogen. The enhancement may be due to the effect of the bile acid on proliferation of the colon epithelial cells or to its effect on the permeability of mucosal cells.
Toppling in British Columbia's Lodgepole Pine Plantations: Significance, Cause and Prevention (1986)

Young trees sometimes lean, or topple by pivoting about a point below the ground. Geotropic curvature in the lower part of the stem restores the leading shoot to the vertical. The resultant stem bowing reduces potential lumber recovery, and is associated with reaction wood formation. Toppling has occurred in lodgepole pine (Pinus conforta Dougl.) plantations throughout British Columbia. Generally the number of trees affected has been small; although in the southern interior of the province the majority of trees in some plantations have toppled. In areas where toppling in planted trees has occurred, naturally established lodgepole pine is relatively stable. Since planted trees are usually of the native provenance, this suggests that toppling in plantations is primarily the result of nursery and planting effects on root morphology. More normal root morphogenesis, and hence greater stability can be achieved by planting young seedlings that retain the capacity to initiate primary lateral roots. Pruning the lateral roots of older stock provides another approach. A chemical method for pruning lateral roots of container-grown lodgepole pine seedlings has been developed and adopted commercially in British Columbia and elsewhere.
The Aphid Salivary Gland Basal Lamina as a Selective Barrier Associated with Vector-Specific Transmission of Barley Yellow Dwarf Luteoviruses (1993)

The inability of virions of the MAV barley yellow dwarf luteovirus to penetrate the extracellular basal lamina surrounding the accessory salivary glands of some nonvector aphid species suggests that the basal lamina may possess a selective function that regulates vector-specific luteovirus transmission. When Sitobion avenae and Rhopalosiphum padi were fed for 2 wk of either MAV- or RPV-infected oats and then examined by electron microscopy, virions of both the transmitted MAV and the nontransmitted RPV were observed penetrating the salivary basal lamina of S. avenae [...]
Measurement of tubular enzymuria facilitates early detection of acute renal impairment in the intensive care unit (2003)

Tubular enzymuria on admission to the ICU is useful in predicting ARF. The cheapness and wide availability of automated assays for gamma GT and AP suggests that estimation of these enzymes in random urine samples may be particularly useful for identifying patients at high risk of ARF.
Classification Rule Discovery with Ant Colony Optimization with Improved Quick Reduct Algorithm. (2006)

Ant colony optimization (ACO) algorithms have been applied successfully to combinatorial optimization problems. More recently, Parpinelli et al have applied ACO to data mining classification problems, where they introduced a classification algorithm called Ant Miner. In this paper, we present a system that combines both the proposed Improved Quickreduct algorithm for data preprocessing and ant miner. The proposed system was tested on standard data set and its performance is better than the original Ant Miner algorithm.
Chinese Medicine Users in the United States Part II: Preferred Aspects of Care (1998)

This finding matters because it shows that respondents are not seeking an 'exotic' kind of healthcare, but are utilizing a homegrown, if nonmainstream, model of healthcare. The finding also matters because it shows that an holistic health delivery model is not only feasible, but currently exists in the United States: how Chinese medicine practitioners are trained, and how they subsequently deliver their care, could serve as a model for American healthcare reform.
<title>Performance analysis of a portable imaging spectrometer using linear-variable optical filter</title> (2002)

In the present work we have designed an small-size portable imaging spectrometer using linear variable interference filter, with CCD imaging head as picture sensor, and micromove stage to bring along interference filter which scan across every pixel of CCD array. The difference column pixel in the picture which we get at every step is monocolour partial image under different wavelength, with the step by step, these column monocolour pixels change the wavelength. And finally we reassembled these images and get the whole monocolour image with different wavelength. The interval of sweep step length decided by the required spectrum resolution and the required wavelength interval of different pictures. The experiment demonstrated the resolution of this spectrometer is about l6nm. But that major reason of the limiting resolution is the band pass of the linear variable interference filter. The spatial resolution ofthe instrument ultimately decided by CCD and imaging lens. This spectrometer has some characters such as compact structure, higher spatial resolution, higher spectrum resolution, higher scan rate and so on.
Extracellular ATP, intracellular calcium and canalicular contraction in rat hepatocyte doublets (1991)

Bile-canaliculus contraction in rat hepatocyte doublets is postulated to involve activation of an actin-myosin system. We examined this hypothesis by determining the relationship between canalicular contraction and cystolic free Ca2+ ([Ca2+]i) concentration after extracellular addition of ATP or microdialysis of myosin light chain kinase or its Ca(2+)-independent fragment, which retains catalytic activity. After incubation of doublets with 200 mumol/L ATP in the absence of extracellular Ca2+, [Ca2+]i peaked at 40 sec and 71% of canaliculi contracted within 4 min. Decreasing effects were observed with equimolar ADP, AMP and nonhydrolyzable ATP, but no effect was observed with adenosine. The effect of extracellular ATP on [Ca2+]i and canalicular contraction was dose dependent. Addition of extracellular Ca2+ and ATP resulted in a plateau level of [Ca2+]i. Cytochalasin D, which depolymerizes actin filaments, inhibited ATP-induced canalicular contraction, but not the increase in [Ca2+]i. Microdialysis of myosin light chain kinase and its Ca(2+)-independent fragment (but not the heat-denatured fragment, albumin, trypsin plus soybean inhibitor or buffer) into one hepatocyte of a doublet resulted in canalicular contraction in 86% of doublets. Injection of myosin light chain kinase or its Ca(2+)-independent fragment did not increase [Ca2+]i within 5 min. These results indicate that (a) the basolateral plasma membrane of hepatocytes has a P2Y-class purinoceptor, (b) increased [Ca2+]i after incubation with ATP is initially due to mobilization from internal sites and (c) canalicular contraction is directly related to [Ca2+]i and activation of an actin-myosin system. The physiological role of extracellular ATP in canalicular contraction is uncertain.
Automatic estimation of pelvic organ anatomical references (2011)

Pelvic floor diseases cover pathologies of which physiopathology is not well understood. 2D sagittal MRI sequences used in the clinical assessment allow to visualize the dynamic behavior of the main organs involved (bladder, uterus-vagina and rectum). Clinicians use anatomical landmarks and measurements related to the pelvic organs in their pathology assessment. Usually, those tasks are performed manually which results in being both tedious and subject to operator dependency. A methodology is proposed to attempt a quantitative and objective characterization of the organ behaviors under abdominal strain condition. This approach automatically assesses the organ movements, through the estimation of characteristic angles (anorectal angle, uterovaginal angle, bladder inclination), and the tracking of anatomically significant points (anorectal angle vertex, uterovaginal angle vertex, bladder neck). From a multi-subject analysis, pathological organs have been distinguished from healthy ones, which shows the relevance of the computed features. In addition, a stability analysis has shown the soundness of the approach.
Dihydropyrimidine Dehydrogenase Deficiency in Two Malaysian Siblings with Abnormal MRI Findings (2014)

Dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase (DPD) deficiency is an autosomal recessive disorder of the pyrimidine metabolism. Deficiency of this enzyme leads to an accumulation of thymine and uracil and a deficiency of metabolites distal to the catabolic enzyme. The disorder presents with a wide clinical spectrum, ranging from asymptomatic to severe neurological manifestations, including intellectual disability, seizures, microcephaly, autistic behavior, and eye abnormalities. Here, we report on an 11-year-old Malaysian girl and her 6-year-old brother with DPD deficiency who presented with intellectual disability, microcephaly, and hypotonia. Brain MRI scans showed generalized cerebral and cerebellar atrophy and callosal body dysgenesis in the boy. Urine analysis showed strongly elevated levels of uracil in the girl and boy (571 and 578 mmol/mol creatinine, respectively) and thymine (425 and 427 mmol/mol creatinine, respectively). Sequence analysis of the DPYD gene showed that both siblings were homozygous for the mutation c.1651G>A (pAla551Thr).
Searching For Radio Emission From Magnetars (2011)

Observations of five magnetars and two magnetar candidates carried out at 1950 MHz with the Green Bank Telescope in 2006-2007 were searched for periodic emission and bright single pulses.Also, Target-of-Opportunity observations of magnetar 4U 0142+61 at increasing intervals following its 2006 X-ray bursts were obtained.No radio emission was detected.The non-detections were used to place luminosity upper limits of < 4 mJy kpc 2 for periodic emission and < 10 Jy kpc 2 for single pulse emission.These are the most stringent limits yet for the magnetars observed.The implication of the non-detections and their resulting luminosity upper limits together with previous results is discussed, as is the importance of further radio observations of radio-loud and radio-quiet magnetars.
Double-window Hodges-Lehman (D) filter and hybrid D-median filter for robust image smoothing (1989)

The double window Hodges-Lehman filter (DWD-filter) and a hybrid D-median filter (HDM-filter) for robust image smoothing are proposed. An adaptive mixture of the median and the D-filter, the HDM filter first makes decisions about the presence of edges on the basis of a two-way classification of pixels near and around the pixel to be filtered. Subsequently, straightforward D-filtering is used in the absence of edges, and median filtering is used in the presence of edges. The DWD filter uses two windows and D-filtering. The smaller window is used to preserve the details, then the larger window to provide for sufficient smoothing. Detailed simulation results show that the HDM-filter, while retaining all the good properties of the DWD filter, consistently performs better, in terms of signal-to-noise ratio, than the DWD filter and a number of other filters, including the median filter. The DWD filter is shown to have simpler structure, although not necessarily lesser computational complexity.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>
Low-Overhead SEU-Tolerant Latches (2007)

Two latches, named SEUT-A and SEUT-B respectively, designed to tolerate radiation-induced Single Event Upset (SEU) are presented. SEU immunity is achieved by storing data on different nodes and through the recovery mechanism of the circuits. Neither of the designs needs transistor sizing to be functional and SEU-tolerant, so it can be implemented by small devices. The proposed structures are implemented and simulated using a standard 0.18μm logic process model. Simulation results show that both of the proposed latches are less power- consumptive than that based on Dual Interlocked Cell (DICE). Compared to unhardened latch, SEUT-A uses only 11% more transistors and is 6% slower, whereas SEUT-B uses 56% more transistors but is 43% faster.

IEA Bioenergy Task 42 Biorefinery (2011)

The objective of the brochure is to inform policy makers, non-governmental organisations (NGOs), researchers and entrepreneurs on the principle of biorefinery, its potential contribution to food and feed production, bioenergy and waste management, and its perspectives in the context of a growing demand for food, feed, energy and products from renewable resources. This brochure will begin with the definition of biorefineries developed by IEA Bioenergy Task 42. The heterogeneity and diversity of the biorefinery field require a uniform definition and a clear classification system. To illustrate the different biorefinery types, and their current technological status and/or development and deployment perspectives, examples from different countries will subsequently be presented. They will be linked to the classification system, in order to give a clear classified overview of both the current status and future perspectives of biorefineries worldwide. The brochure will wrap up with some general comments and a future outlook for the next triennium.
Linear antenna arrays with bidirectional phase center motion (2005)

The theoretical and experimental studies of linear antenna arrays with bidirectional phase center motion (BPCM) is presented. BPCM is achieved by exciting only part of the linear array elements and sweeping the excited part from one end to the other and back. The sidelobes of the linear arrays with BPCM experience both upper and lower Doppler frequency shift effect in turn, as compared to linear arrays with unidirectional phase center motion (UPCM). Numerical results show that linear arrays with BPCM are also capable of synthesizing low/ultralow sidelobes, but with a much lower excitation dynamic range ratio as compared to that in conventional arrays. In addition, some characteristics, such as passband bandwidth or sideband levels, are better than those of arrays with UPCM or time modulated variable aperture size arrays. An L-band 16-element printed dipole linear array with BPCM was designed. Experimental results show that a -35 dB relative sidelobe level (SLL) can be achieved.
Analysis of the Antimicrobial Activity of Flavonoids and Saponins Isolated from the Shoots of Oats (<i>Avena sativa</i> L.) (2007)

Abstract Crude extracts from the shoots of oat cv. Quoll were tested against four species of bacteria and eight species of fungi. Bacterial growth was not inhibited. The mycelia growth of all Pyrenophora species tested, except Pyrenophora avenae DAR 33699, was inhibited by the crude extract, whereas the mycelia growth of Fusarium graminearum, Mycosphaerella pinodes and Rhizoctonia solani was not affected. Partially purified fractions with high concentrations of flavone‐ C ‐glycosides had no inhibitory effect against P. teres f . sp . teres and P. teres f . sp. maculata. The saponin 26‐desglucoavenacoside B accounted for most of the activity against P. teres f . sp. teres with a minor contribution from the other saponins, 26‐desglucoavenacoside A and avenacosides A and B.
Permanent Magnets Obtained by Drawing Compacts of Parallel Iron Wires (1960)

A method of producing permanent magnets, which is believed to be novel, is briefly described. The method consists of drawing a compact containing parallel iron wires spaced by a copper alloy matrix until the iron wires become extremely small. Intrinsic coercive forces of 400 oe have been measured in samples drawn from compacts in which the initial spacing between the iron wires corresponded to an iron packing fraction p of about 0.45. Annealing of cold-drawn samples generally increased both the coercive force and the squareness of the demagnetizing curve.
Serum concentration of surfactant protein D in horses with lower airway inflammation (2011)

Serum concentration of surfactant protein D could represent a potentially valuable and readily accessible blood biomarker of equine lower airway inflammation.
Separation of <i>Listeria monocytogenes</i> and <i>Salmonella berta</i> from a complex food matrix by aqueous polymer two‐phase partitioning (1998)

In the present study, the use of aqueous polymer two-phase systems for separation of pathogenic bacteria from a complex food sample was investigated. Three different two-phase systems, a polyethylene glycol 3350/dextran T 500, a methoxy polyethylene glycol 5000/dextran T 500 and a polyethylene glycol 3350/hydroxypropyl starch system, were compared at pH 3 and pH 6 for their capacity to separate the pathogenic bacteria Listeria monocytogenes and Salmonella berta from a Cumberland sausage. In all three phase systems, the food particles partitioned to the lower phase. Best performance was obtained by the polymer combinations, polyethylene glycol 3350/dextran T 500 and polyethylene glycol 3350/hydroxypropyl starch. In these systems, Salmonella berta partitioned to the hydrophobic upper phase both at pH 3 and pH 6 with an average partitioning ratio of 80% and a recovery of 56%. Listeria monocytogenes partitioned to the upper phase at pH 3 only with an average partitioning ratio of 72% and a recovery of 45%. This method may become a valuable tool for separation of bacteria from complex food matrices.
Power injection of intravenous contrast material through central venous catheters for CT: in vitro evaluation. (1996)

In vitro analysis demonstrates that power injection of intravenous contrast medium through central venous catheters does not exceed the pressure limits of these catheters at the flow rates tested. In vivo testing to evaluate the safety and efficacy of power injection through central venous catheters is necessary.
Gene expression profiling of preneoplastic liver disease and liver cancer: a new era for improved early detection and treatment of these deadly diseases? (2003)

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a multi-step process associated with changes in gene expression. Currently, several technologies enable global gene expression profiling. The number of studies to probe global gene expression profiles of HCC or preneoplastic chronic liver diseases has increased exponentially in recent years. These studies have quickly provided rich information and some additional clues to the genesis of liver cancer. The application of gene expression profiling to preneoplastic liver diseases and HCC is growing in importance and practicality. In this commentary, we review the recent advances in the utilization of global gene expression profiling to liver cancer, which have provided new insight into the molecular mechanisms underlying the development of HCC. We have also discussed the problems related to these new technologies, as well as their contributions and implications. By recognizing the shortcomings, we can reassess our current approaches, which allow us to better design and analyze global gene expression-based experiments. These new approaches will undoubtedly contribute to a better understanding of hepatocarcinogenesis.
