Oral Conditions in Individuals With Selective Immunoglobulin A Deficiency and Common Variable Immunodeficiency (1992)

Saliva and serum samples were collected from 36 individuals with selective immunoglobulin A deficiency (IgAd) and 23 patients with common variable immunodeficiency (CVI). The oral examination included registration of the teeth, Russell's periodontal index (PI), pocket formation, and salivary flow rate in both unstimulated and stimulated saliva. No differences were found in salivary flow rate, number of teeth, or pocket depth when donors with IgAd or CVI were compared to age and sex matched controls. However, mucosal manifestations of lichenoid type were more frequent in both types of immunoglobulin deficient individuals. An increased PI was also seen in CVI patients. Increased serum IgG and salivary IgM levels were found in the IgAd population.
Optimizing Ceramic Matrix Composite Interlaminar Fracture Toughness (Mode I) Wedge Test (2016)

ASTM test standards for CMC’s Crack Growth Resistance (CGR) may exhibit a zig-zag (wavy) crack path pattern, and fiber bridging. The experimental parameters that may contribute to the difficulty can be summarized as: specimen width and thickness, interface coating thickness, mixed mode failure evolution, and interlaminar defects. Modes I crack growth resistances, GI were analytically determined at ambient temperature using wedge test, a modified double cantilever beam (DCB). Several Finite Element (FE) based Multi-scale modeling potential techniques were investigated: a) Multi-scale progressive failure analysis (MS-PFA); b) Virtual Crack Closure Technique (VCCT). Advantages and disadvantages of each were identified. The final modeling algorithm recommended was an integrated damage and fracture evolution methodology using combined MS-PFA and VCCT. The material tested in this study was a slurry-cast melt-infiltrated SiC/SiC composite with Tyranno ZMI fibers (Ube Industries, Kyoto, Japan) and a BN interphase. The fiber architecture consisted of eight plies of balanced 2-D woven five-harness satin. The total fiber volume fraction was about 30% with half of the fibers in the 0° direction and half in the 90° direction. All specimens had a nominal thickness of 4 mm. An alumina wedge with 18° head angle (2α) was used. In this method, a splitting force is created by inserting a vertically-moving wedge in a notch causing the arms to separate and forcing an interlaminar crack at the sharpest end of the notch The MS-PFA numerical model predicted the damage and fracture evolution and utilized the GENOA UMAT (User Material Subroutine) for Damage and FEM (Finite Element Model) stress intensity and LEFM (Linear elastic Fracture Model), Cohesive Model for Fracture. The analysis results (Fracture energy vs. crack length, Fracture energy vs. load, Fracture energy vs. crack opening displacement) matched the Mode I coupon tests and revealed the following key findings. Mode I-Wedge specimen exhibits: 1) failure mode is due to interlaminar tension (ILT) only in the interface section and a zig-zag pattern observed; 2) VCCT crack growth resistance is well matched to the test data; and 3) failure mode is a mixed mode behavior of Interlaminar tension (ILT) to interlaminar shear (ILS). The final Wedge test specimen configuration optimization includes the sensitivity of design parameters to CGR: a) wedge contact coefficient of friction; b) lever arms thickness, and c) inclined head angle, distance between the initial crack and wedge tip.
Intracellular dynamics in pituitary mammotropes throughout the rat estrous cycle. I. Morphometric methodology and hormonal correlations with cellular and nuclear volumes (1980)

Serum prolactin (PRL) levels display regular patterns throughout the 4-day rat estrous cycle. A morphometric analysis of mammotropes (PRL-sereting cells) in the anterior pituitary was performed in an effort to quantify some of the ultrastructural events occurring prior to and during the secretion of PRL throughout the estrous cycle. In this study, a systematic sampling protocol applicable to the rat adenohypophysis was developed, which took into account the lack of synchrony in estrous cycles among the animals, the heterogeneity of the gland, and the number of cells required to yield a representative sample. These techniques were used to determine the cell, nuclear, nucleolar, and cytosol volumes, which were correlated with the changing levels of serum estradiol and PRL and pituitary PRL. Estradiol concentrations rose during late diestrus-1 and continued rising in a pulsatile manner, reaching maximal levels during proestrus. The elevations of estrogen were accompanied by increases in nucleolar and nuclear volumes. However, at early estrus and on the afternoon of diestrus-2, times at which it has been reported that progesterone levels are elevated, there was a dampening effect and these volumes declined. During early diestrus-2, when estradiol levels began to rise, there were increases in nucleolar, nuclear, cellular and cytosol volumes, as well as increases in pituitary PRL; but at late diestrus-2 there was a marked increase in nuclear and nucleolar volumes which was not accompanied by increases in cellular and cytosol volumes. During proestrus, two peaks of serum PRL were found, at 6 pm and 12 m, which were concomitant with increased nucleolar, nuclear and cellular volumes. The 6-pm proestrous peak of PRL was preceded by elevated pituitary PRL; however, the 12-m proestrous peak occurred when the pituitary PRL was minimal, even though nuclear and cellular volumes were elevated. This suggests that the 6-pm release of PRL was derived from previously synthesized and stored hormone, while the 12-m peak was the result of the immediate release of PRL, with little storage.
An O(v|v| c |E|) algoithm for finding maximum matching in general graphs (1980)

In this paper we present an 0(√|V|·|E|) algorithm for finding a maximum matching in general graphs. This algorithm works in 'phases'. In each phase a maximal set of disjoint minimum length augmenting paths is found, and the existing matching is increased along these paths. Our contribution consists in devising a special way of handling blossoms, which enables an O(|E|) implementation of a phase. In each phase, the algorithm grows Breadth First Search trees at all unmatched vertices. When it detects the presence of a blossom, it does not 'shrink' the blossom immediately. Instead, it delays the shrinking in such a way that the first augmenting path found is of minimum length. Furthermore, it achieves the effect of shrinking a blossom by a special labeling procedure which enables it to find an augmenting path through a blossom quickly.
Limitation of Photosynthesis by Carbon Metabolism (1986)

The occurrence of O(2)-insensitive photosynthesis at high quantum flux and moderate temperature in Spinacia oleracea was characterized by analytical gas exchange measurements on intact leaves. In addition photosynthetic metabolite pools were measured in leaves which had been rapidly frozen under defined gas conditions. Upon switching to low O(2) in O(2)-insensitive conditions the ATP/ADP ratio fell dramatically within one minute. The P-glycerate pool increased over the same time. Ribulose bisphosphate initially declined, then increased and exceeded the pool size measured in air. The pools of hexose monophosphates and UDPglucose were higher at a partial pressure of O(2) of 21 millibars than at 210 millibars. These results are consistent with the hypothesis that the rate of sucrose synthesis limited the overall rate of assimilation under O(2)-insensitive conditions.
Dose Distribution In Total Skin Electron Beam Irradiation Using The Six-Field Technique (1986)

Total skin low energy electron beam irradiation is used to treat superficially widespread skin lesions such as cutaneous T-cell lymphoma. Total skin irradiation involves delivering an adequate dose at a depth of 0.25 to 1.0 cm, while sparing underlying tissue. The dose distributions obtained when using a modified Stanford six-field technique depend upon the beam energy, the beam angle, the diameter and shape of the body part, and other variables. The dose distribution uniformity of six pairs of angulated electron beams has been studied as a function of beam energy, the gantry angle, +/- theta, above and below the horizontal and the diameter of a cylindrical polystyrene phantom. Depth doses and dose uniformity for single and multiple fields have been measured as a function of beam energy, phantom diameter and position.

The Expression of Messenger RNAs Coding for Growth Factors, Their Receptors, and eph-Class Receptor Tyrosine Kinases in Normal and Ototoxically Damaged Chick Cochleae (1997)

Messenger RNAs coding for growth factors and receptor tyrosine kinases were measured by quantitative competitive and by semi-quantitative reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction in whole and dissected chick inner ears. The fibroblast growth factor (FGF) receptor 1 chick embryonic kinase (CEK) 1 was expressed in all structures examined (otocyst, hatchling whole cochlea, cochlear nerve ganglion, and cochlear and vestibular sensory epithelia), although slightly more heavily in the otocyst. The related fibroblast growth factor receptors CEK 2 and 3 were preferentially expressed in the nerve ganglion and in the vestibular sensory epithelium, respectively. FGF1 mRNA was low in early development, increasing to mature levels at around embryonic age 11 days, while FGF2 mRNA was expressed at constant levels at all ages. In response to ototoxic damage, FGF1 mRNA levels were increased in the early damaged cochlear sensory epithelium. Immunohistochemistry for CEK1 showed that normal hair cells expressed the receptor heavily on the hair cell stereocilia, while with early damage, CEK1 came to be expressed heavily on the apical surfaces of the supporting cells. In normal chicks, the CEK4 and CEK8 eph-class receptor tyrosine kinases were expressed relatively heavily by the cochlear nerve ganglion, and CEK10 was expressed relatively heavily by the cochlear hair cell sensory epithelium. The results suggest that the FGF system may be involved in the response of the cochlear epithelium to ototoxic damage. The eph-class receptor tyrosine kinase CEK10 may be involved in cell interactions in the cochlear sensory epithelium, while CEK4 and CEK8 may play a role in the cochlear innervation.
Hydrogen-bonding Interactions of C-Tetraundecenylresorc[4]arene with Some Guest Molecules (2006)

1H-NMR measurements show that the modes of hydrogen-bonding interaction of C-tetraundecenylresorc[4]arene with the guest molecules are classified into four groups, depending on whether the guest molecule is a hydrogen-bond donor, a hydrogen-bond acceptor or works as both donor and acceptor.

Addiction Circuitry in the Human Brain (2011)

A major challenge in understanding substance-use disorders lies in uncovering why some individuals become addicted when exposed to drugs, whereas others do not. Although genetic, developmental, and environmental factors are recognized as major contributors to a person's risk of becoming addicted, the neurobiological processes that underlie this vulnerability are still poorly understood. Imaging studies suggest that individual variations in key dopamine-modulated brain circuits, including circuits involved in reward, memory, executive function, and motivation, contribute to some of the differences in addiction vulnerability. A better understanding of the main circuits affected by chronic drug use and the influence of social stressors, developmental trajectories, and genetic background on these circuits is bound to lead to a better understanding of addiction and to more effective strategies for the prevention and treatment of substance-use disorders.
Hydrothermal interaction of crushed Topopah Spring tuff and J-13 water at 90, 150, and 250{sup 0}C using Dickson-type, gold-bag rocking autoclaves (1985)

As part of the Package Environment subtask of the Waste Package task within the Nevada Nuclear Waste Storage Investigations (NNWSI) Project, experiments were conducted to study the hydrothermal interaction of rock and water representative of a potential high-level waste repository in tuff. These experiments used crushed Topopah Spring tuff from both drillcore and outcrop samples. The data, when considered in conjunction with results from analogous experiments using solid wafers of tuff, define near-field repository conditions and can be used to assess the ability to use "accelerated" tests based on the surface area/volume (SA/V) parameter and temperature; allow the measurement of chemical changes due to reaction in phases present in the tuff before reaction; and permit the identification and chemical analysis of secondary phases resulting from hydrothermal reactions. Some of the results presented in this report have been used to demonstrate the usefulness of geochemical modeling in a repository environment using the EQ3/6 thermodynamic/kinetic geochemical modeling code. The tuff was reacted with a natural ground water in Dickson-type gold-bag rocking autoclaves that were periodically sampled under in situ conditions. Five short-term (<90-day) experiments using crushed tuff were run covering the range 90 to 250{sup 0}C and 50 to 100 bars. This report will focus on the results of experiments with crushed tuff, while a companion report will cover results of analogous short-term experiments run with solid waters of tuff.

Multi-objective optimization of temperature distributions using Artificial Neural Networks (2012)

Modeling the thermal environment of data centers, including prediction of the air flow and temperature distributions can be computationally intensive using CFD. Reduced order models or data-driven meta-models are necessary to provide real-time assessment of optimum operating conditions for data centers to reduce energy usage. Here, a simulation-based Artificial Neural Network (ANN) approach is employed as a predictive tool. A model for a basic single cold aisle data center configuration is analyzed using the commercial CFD software FloTHERM. The simulation results are used to generate a database for training and cross validation of a primary ANN corresponding to a specific set of input and output operating conditions. Good agreement is achieved between the CFD and ANN based model predictions for maximum rack inlet temperatures over a range of operating conditions. In addition, by combining the ANN with a cost function based Multi-Objective Genetic Algorithm (MOGA), the operating conditions can be inversely predicted for desired outputs (e.g. rack inlet temperatures). The total simulation time for the ANN-MOGA approach is reduced significantly compared to a fully CFD-based optimization methodology.
Requrirements for Nuclear Power Reactor Siting (1967)

The indispensable requisites to which the decision of the siting for a Nuclear Power Reactor is to be subjected are so complicated with a consideration of social conditions, natural environments, industrial surroundings etc. incorporated and eventurally consolidated.The condition of isolation required from the view to ensuring the safety for the public even in case of most unlikely accident would be almost inconsistent with the requisites for the economical preference of siting in bulky electric consuming areas.In this paper, the authors' effort is to cover from the outline of the Site Criteria in USA and UK and “A Guide in Reactor Site Evaluation” in Japan to the detailed and general requirements with respect to the choice of Nuclear Power Reactor Site, showing example of siting four Nuclear Power Stations in Japan together with safety analysis thereof as on the attached list.
Cortico-Subcortical Homeostasis in the Cat's Brain (1963)

Transcortical polarization of one cerebral hemisphere, while producing the well-known changes in the amplitude of the evoked potentials in the ipsilateral cortex, induced opposite behavior of these indicators in the contralateral cortex. With the corpus callosum sectioned, the reciprocal relationship was enhanced. Anesthetic doses of barbiturates not only eliminated reciprocity but made the potentials on both sides react in unison to unilateral polarization. These findings suggest the existence of a negative feedback system between the cerebral cortex and the subcortex and the existence of a "left-right equalizing" mechanism carried by pathways in the corpus callosum.

The yeast<i>Saccharomyces cerevisiae</i>does not sequester chloride but can express a functional mammalian chloride channel (1999)

Chloride uptake into yeast was measured as a function of pH. A small amount of uptake was seen at pH values of 3.0 and 4.0; at pH 6.0 chloride uptake was substantially less than the uptake of phosphate and rubidium. Because chloride uptake is inefficient, we expressed the putative mammalian chloride channel, pI(Cln), in yeast and observed a chloride-selective current when total membrane protein was reconstituted into lipid bilayers. The current was inhibited by a specific chloride channel blocker, 5-nitro-2-(3-phenylpropylamino)-benzoic acid. These results suggest that yeast may serve as a means to characterize chloride channels from other organisms.
Automotive radar interference mitigation by reconstruction and cancellation of interference component (2015)

Automotive radar interference is an issue arising with the increasing amount of radar systems in automotive scenarios. Interference can influence the functionality of a radar system, e.g. decrease its detection capability. To ensure functionality in critical situations, interference countermeasures are applied. This paper proposes a countermeasure for chirp sequence modulated radars interfering one another estimating an interfering signals' parameters to afterwards reconstruct and remove the interference.
Adsorption dependence of vacant-electronic-state densities: As adatom on a lanthanum oxide surface (1992)

The electronic structure of the lanthanum oxide surface with an adsorbed As atom has been studied by the X\ensuremath{\alpha} method. Analysis of the occupied electronic density of states and contour maps of the valence-electronic charge density for the bulk and adsorbed surface clusters shows pronounced differences connected with As p-- and La s+La d--state hybridization. The influence of these factors on absorption-spectra features is discussed. The surface reduction effects are considered.
Flexural properties of moldings of rigid polyurethane made by reaction injection molding (1986)

Abstract Flexural properties of moldings made by Reaction Injection Molding (RIM), which are structural foams consisting of high density skin and low density core, were investigated by three‐point bending tests. Two failure modes were observed in bending tests of the moldings made by RIM, and they are classified as follows according to the density ratio of skin layer to core layer: the opposite side of the skin layer to which load was subjected failed by tensile stress: and the same side of the skin layer to which load was subjected failed by compressive stress, causing wrinkling or buckling. Then the conventional composite beam theory was applied to the former failure mode and Hoff s buckling theory to the latter, and equations were derived to predict the flexural properties of the structural foams, which involved buckling from the flexural properties of solid construction. In addition, it has been shown that there exists a density distribution that maximizes the flexural strength of the moldings made by RIM with a given overall density. The results obtained here should be useful to the optimum structural design of moldings made by RIM.
β‐Catenin (<i>CTNNB1</i>) mutations and clinicopathological features of mesenteric desmoid‐type fibromatosis (2012)

Our study provides evidence that some clinical and genetic features of mesenteric desmoids differ from those of non-mesenteric fibromatosis, and corroborates the usefulness of mutational analysis, especially in diagnosing β-catenin-negative mesenteric desmoids.
Morphologic Characteristics of Plaques Produced on Monkey Kidney Monolayer Cultures by Enteric Viruses (Poliomyelitis, Coxsackie, and Echo Groups) (1957)

Summary Plaque size and pattern of poliomyelitis, Coxsackie, and echo viruses were studied in rhesus monkey kidney monolayer cultures. Poliovirus types 1, 2, and 3 produced circular plaques with clear centers and sharp boundaries. Coxsackie plaques of types B1, B2, B3, B4, and B5 were also round, resembling those of the polioviruses except for their delayed appearance. Apparently healthy cells stained with neutral red could be seen within the area of degeneration, this being especially marked at the periphery of the plaques of Coxsackie A9. Plaques of echo viruses usually appeared a few days later than poliovirus plaques. The plaques of echo types 3 (Berardi strain), 4, 6′, 9, and 14 were irregular, the boundaries were diffuse, and their centers were hazy. Echo types 1 and 13 produced clear but small and irregular plaques. Echo types 7, 8, and 12 resembled the Coxsackie strains in their plaque morphology. Plaques were not obtained from the prototype strains of echo virus types 2, 3 (Morrisey strain), 5, 6, and 10, which were tested repeatedly. By plaque morphology, polioviruses could be differentiated from certain of the echo viruses, both in experimental mixtures and in specimens from patients naturally infected with both viruses.
