Evaluation of Tsetse Attractants as Baits for Horse Flies and Deer Flies (Diptera: Tabanidae) in Louisiana (1995)

Two experiments were conducted near Washington, Louisiana, to evaluate attraction of Tabanidae to known tsetse attractants. In the first experiment octenol was dispensed from reaction vials and polyethylene sachets, acetone was dispensed from a jar capped with a perforated lid, and a mixture of octenol, 3-n-propylphenol, and 4-methylphenol (4:1:8) was dispensed from sachets. Fourteen species or species groups of tabanid flies were attracted equally to octenol, whether dispensed from reaction vials or sachets. There were no differences in numbers of tabanids attracted to 4:1:8 bait and to octenol, whether dispensed from sachets or reaction vials. Acetone was no more attractive than were control traps. In the second experiment, 4:1:8, acetone, 4:1:8 + acetone (1:50), and commercially available pepper sauce (TabascoR) were compared. Nine species or species groups of tabanid flies were collected. The 4:1:8 and 4:1:8 + acetone baits were equally attractive to tabanids, whereas there were no differences among the pepper sauce, acetone, and unbaited controls.
Solutions to the breeder impasse in the U. S. : abundant electricity from renewable nuclear fuel (1981)

The authors indicate that experienced engineers can be carefully directed to design a truly superior, economical, and safe large breeder plant and that competitive plant can be built, providing the basis for future electricity generation using United States resources. Such an accomplishment will serve toward make the U.S. self-sufficient in resources to produce electric power.
Studies on Rickettsial Toxins (1961)

Summary Comparison of the action of toxic viable Rickettsia mooseri with that of a Boivin type endotoxin from Escherichia coli in mice revealed striking differences. One LD50 of the endotoxin caused a prompt depression in total leukocyte count followed by leukocytosis, whereas 1 LD50 of the toxic rickettsial suspension failed to cause a significant shift in total leukocyte count toward a comparable response pattern. Reticuloendothelial blockade with colloidal iron saccharate markedly increased the susceptibility of mice to the lethal action of the endotoxin, but failed to alter their susceptibility to the toxic action of the rickettsiae. Moreover, mice rendered tolerant to endotoxin remained as susceptible to the rickettsial toxin as normal control mice. It is concluded that the mouse lethal toxin of R. mooseri and classic bacterial endotoxin differ significantly in several important properties.

Scene Analysis Of High Resolution Aerial Scenes (1986)

In this paper we examine a number of issues related to developing a vision system for aerial scenes. A hierarchical vision system that utilizes evidence from intrinsic and relational characterizations of objects is described. Issues related to developing spectral and spatial operators for extracting image cues about the presence of objects are discussed. Example analyses of high resolution urban scenes are presented.
NMR differentiation of enantiomeric (+)- and (–)-α-pinene via complexation with cyclodextrins in water (1993)

(+)- and (–)-α-Pinene form diastereoisomeric complexes with α-, 2,3,6-tri-O-methyl-β-, 2,3,6-tri-O-methyl-β- and 2,3,6-tri-O-acetyl-β-cyclodextrin which are distinguishable in 1H and 13C NMR spectra, the α-pinene protons obeying the slow exchange condition during the complexation process; utilization of cyclodextrins as chiral shift reagents for molecules lacking polar groups is consequently proposed.
Human Health Risk Assessment (HHRA) for Environmental Development and Transfer of Antibiotic Resistance (2013)

We propose that environmental aspects of antibiotic-resistance development be included in the processes of any HHRA addressing ARB. Because of limited available data, a multicriteria decision analysis approach would be a useful way to undertake an HHRA of environmental antibiotic resistance that informs risk managers.
Cooperative spectrum sharing with relay selection (2010)

In this paper, we propose a two-phase protocol based on cooperative relaying for a secondary system to achieve spectrum access along with a selective relaying primary system. The primary system comprises of a transmitter-receiver pair PT-PR and M relays. The secondary system is a multi-user system with N transmitters which intend to communicate with a common receiver SR. In the proposed protocol, Q out of N secondary transmitters are designated as possible candidates for assisting the primary system while the remaining secondary transmitters are chosen as possible candidates for secondary spectrum access, where 0 ≤ Q <; N. One relaying terminal R <sub xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">p</sub> which achieves the request target rate for the primary system and has the best channel to PR, is first selected to serve as a decode-and-forward (DF) relay for the primary system. With the cooperation of R <sub xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">p</sub> , the primary system is able to tolerate some interference lower than a certain threshold in the relaying phase, without degrading its outage performance. The secondary transmitter R <sub xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">s</sub> which satisfies this interference constraint and optimizes the outage performance for the secondary system, is then selected to access the spectrum band simultaneously when R <sub xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">p</sub> is relaying the primary signal. We show that both primary and secondary systems are able to achieve better outage performance with increasing N.
A Polyaxonal Amacrine Cell Population in the Primate Retina (2014)

Amacrine cells are the most diverse and least understood cell class in the retina. Polyaxonal amacrine cells (PACs) are a unique subset identified by multiple long axonal processes. To explore their functional properties, populations of PACs were identified by their distinctive radially propagating spikes in large-scale high-density multielectrode recordings of isolated macaque retina. One group of PACs exhibited stereotyped functional properties and receptive field mosaic organization similar to that of parasol ganglion cells. These PACs had receptive fields coincident with their dendritic fields, but much larger axonal fields, and slow radial spike propagation. They also exhibited ON-OFF light responses, transient response kinetics, sparse and coordinated firing during image transitions, receptive fields with antagonistic surrounds and fine spatial structure, nonlinear spatial summation, and strong homotypic neighbor electrical coupling. These findings reveal the functional organization and collective visual signaling by a distinctive, high-density amacrine cell population.
Decoupling capabilities of split-loop resonator structure for 7 Tesla MRI surface array coils (2017)

In this work we studied electromagnetic properties of one-dimentional periodic structures composed of split-loop res-onators (SLRs) and investigated their capabilities in decoupling of two dipole antennas for full-body magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Two different finite structures comprising a single-SLR and a double-SLR constitutive elements were studied. Numerical simulations of the structures were performed to evaluate their decoupling capabilities. As it was demonstrated two dipole antennas equipped with either a single or a double-SLR structure exhibit high isolation even for an electrically short distance between the dipoles. Double-SLR structure while dramatically improving isolation of the dipoles keeps the field created by each of the decoupled dipoles comparable with one of a single dipole inside the target area.
EVALUATION OF IMMEDIATE ACTION TAKEN TO DEAL WITH CRACKING PROBLEMS OBSERVED IN WHEELS OF RAIL COMMUTER CARS (1993)

The report is the first in a series of engineering studies on railroad vehicle wheel performance. Preliminary studies are summarized, involving evaluation of actions taken to respond to high rates of crack occurrence observed in the wheels of certain multiple unit (MU) power cars used in commuter service. The conclusions of the studies were that the actions taken to address the observed problems were timely and appropriate. These actions were: 1) improvement of maintenance to prevent brake shoe misalignment and dispatching of cars with inoperative traction motors; 2) daily visual inspection of wheels to detect thermal cracks; and 3) immediate retrueing of thermally cracked wheels with center tread cracks longer than 1/2 inch or rim edge cracks of any size.
The ICT Assistive Devices Register: an Instrument to Support Appropriate Provision of Assistive Technology (2009)

This paper describes the preliminary results of a project, carried out on behalf of the Italian Ministry of Health, with the objective of creating a Register of ICT Assistive Devices for supporting appropriate provision of Assistive Technology. Forms for technical specification have been created for all the typology of devices included in the Italian National List of AT products eligible for provision. A Vocabulary for specifications was created in order to standardize the terminology used and avoid the use of synonyms in different forms. An online tool was developed, consisting of a web based database, to create forms, manage the vocabulary, and insert data of specific products into the forms.
Synthesis and Characterization of CeO2–ZrO2–Bi2O3 Solid Solutions for Environment-friendly Yellow Pigments (2006)

Abstract CeO2–ZrO2–Bi2O3 solid solutions have been synthesized by a citrate complex route. The resulting colored materials have been characterized as potential environment-friendly pigments. The yellow hue of the pigment was significantly enhanced by the introduction of zirconium and bismuth into the CeO2 lattice, which produces intrinsic strain and a hybrid orbital of Bi6s and O2p, respectively. The yellow pigments obtained have been found to be effective alternatives to the conventional toxic colored materials.
CSL^TA: an Expressive Logic for Continuous-Time Markov Chains (2007)

The stochastic temporal logic CSL can be used to describe formally properties of continuous-time Markov chains, and has been extended with expressions over states and actions to obtain the logic asCSL. However, properties referring to the probability of a finite sequence of timed events (such as "with probability at least 0.75, the system will be in state set A at time 5, then in state set B at time 7, then in state set C at time 20") cannot be expressed in either CSL or asCSL. With the aim of increasing the expressive power of temporal logics for continuous- time Markov chains, we introduce the logic CSL <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">TA</sup> and its model-checking algorithm. CSL <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">TA</sup> extends CSL and asCSL by allowing the specification of timed properties through a deterministic one-clock timed automata.
Lubiprostone for constipation and irritable bowel syndrome with constipation (2008)

Chronic constipation and irritable bowel syndrome are heterogeneous disorders characterized by altered bowel habits, abdominal discomfort and/or difficult defecation. These conditions have a significant impact on patients' quality of life, as well as on the US economy, both in terms of healthcare costs and lost productivity. Treatment typically begins with lifestyle changes, increased fiber intake and osmotic and stimulant laxative intake. However, treatments for constipation vary in terms of their efficacy and safety. Furthermore, surveys of physicians and patients have revealed a strong desire for improved therapeutic options. Lubiprostone is a synthetic bicyclic fatty acid that is gut selective and stimulates type 2 chloride channels, resulting in increased chloride, sodium and water secretion into the lumen. The increased fluid secretion causes luminal distension, secondary peristalsis and laxation. Randomized Phase III trials have shown that lubiprostone is efficacious in the treatment of chronic idiopathic constipation and irritable bowel syndrome with constipation. The US FDA has approved lubiprostone at a dose of 24 microg twice daily for the treatment of chronic idiopathic constipation in adults, and at a dose of 8 microg twice daily for irritable bowel syndrome with constipation in adult women. Nausea, diarrhea and headaches are the most commonly reported side effects. In long-term studies, lubiprostone appears to be safe.
Diffusion of Context and Credit Information in Markovian Models (1995)

This paper studies the problem of ergodicity of transition probability matrices in Markovian models, such as hidden Markov models (HMMs), and how it makes very difficult the task of learning to represent long-term context for sequential data. This phenomenon hurts the forward propagation of long-term context information, as well as learning a hidden state representation to represent long-term context, which depends on propagating credit information backwards in time. Using results from Markov chain theory, we show that this problem of diffusion of context and credit is reduced when the transition probabilities approach 0 or 1, i.e., the transition probability matrices are sparse and the model essentially deterministic. The results found in this paper apply to learning approaches based on continuous optimization, such as gradient descent and the Baum-Welch algorithm.
Atlantoaxial transarticular screw fixation: a review of surgical indications, fusion rate, complications, and lessons learned in 191 adult patients (2005)

Based on this series, the authors have learned important lessons that can improve outcomes and safety. These include techniques to improve screw-related patient positioning, development of optimal instrumentation, improved screw materials and design, and defining the role for stereotactic navigation. Atlantoaxial transarticular screw fixation is highly effective in achieving fusion, and the complication rate is low when performed by properly trained surgeons.
Enhancing the Safety Climate and Reducing Violence Against Staff in Closed Hospital Wards (2016)

This study examined the effectiveness of an intervention program to enhance unit safety climate and minimize employee risk of injury from patient violence. The intervention program, including a 3-day workshop, was offered to personnel on maximum security units of an Israeli psychiatric hospital. Safety climate was examined before and after the implementation of the intervention, and incidents of patient violence were investigated. Six months after the intervention, a significant improvement in employees' perceptions of management's commitment to safety as well as a marginally significant improvement in communication about safety issues were found. This study demonstrated that an intervention program to enhance safety climate was associated with a decrease in the number of aggressive incidents. The researchers concluded that this intervention program is likely to return a sense of safety to workers and reduce workplace violence.
Gynecomastia and drugs: a critical evaluation of the literature (2015)

Many different medications have been associated with the presence of "gynecomastia." Generally, it presents as a syndrome characterized by a single painful/tender breast (mastodynia) associated with breast enlargement and is transient. We suggest that these cases be referred to as an acute gynecomastia syndrome. This syndrome also occurs independent of medication use. Thus, in an individual patient, whether it is medication induced often remains uncertain. The pathogenesis remains unknown.
Biosynthesis of high density lipoprotein by chicken liver: intracellular transport and proteolytic processing of nascent apolipoprotein A-1. (1985)

To study the in vivo processing and secretion of Apolipoprotein A-I (Apo A-I), young chickens were administered individual L-[3H]amino acids intravenously and the time of intracellular transport of nascent Apo A-I from rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER) to the Golgi apparatus was measured. Within 3 to 9 min there was maximal incorporation of radioactivity into Apo A-I in both the RER and the Golgi cell fractions. By contrast, the majority of radioactive albumin was also present in the RER by 3 to 9 min, but did not reach peak amounts in the Golgi fraction until 9 to 25 min. Both radioactive Apo A-I and albumin appeared in the blood at about the same time (between 20 and 30 min). NH2-terminal amino acid sequence analysis of nascent intracellular Apo A-I showed that it contains a pro-hexapeptide extension identical to that of human Apo A-I. After 30 min of administration of radioactive amino acids radioactive Apo A-I was isolated by immunoprecipitation from the liver and serum. NH2-terminal sequence analysis of 20 amino acids indicated that chicken liver contained an equal mixture of nascent pro-Apo A-I and fully processed Apo A-I, whereas the serum only contained processed Apo A-I. Further studies showed that the RER only contained pro-Apo A-I, whereas a mixture of pro-Apo A-I and processed Apo A-I was found in the Golgi complex. These results indicate that, in chicken hepatocytes, there is a more rapid transport of Apo A-I than of albumin from the RER to the Golgi cell fractions, and that Apo A-I remains in the Golgi apparatus for a longer period of time before it is secreted into the blood. In addition these studies show that the in vivo proteolytic processing of chicken pro-Apo A-I to Apo A-I occurs in the Golgi cell fractions.
Effectivity Anticestode of Painted Nettle Extract (Coleus blumei Bent) Againts Hymenolepis microstoma in Mice (2010)

Coleus blumei is a herbal plant used in the traditional medicine in Indonesia to expel the intestinal worm infections. Previous in vitro study showed that ethanol extract had the strongest anticestode activity compared to chloroform, hexane and aquaous extracts. The aim of the study was to evaluate the eff ectivity of anticestode of ethanol leaves extract againts Hymenolepis microstoma infections in mice. The plant extract was tested against H. microstoma infections in the single doses of 250, 500, 1000, and 2000 mg kg-1 body weight. Dose were administered to H. microstoma infected mice for 3 consecutive days. The effi cacy of the leave extract was determined in terms of eggs per gram of feces (EPG) and worms reduction at necropsy. The results showed that the effi cacy of leaves extract was dose dependent. The maximum effi cacy of leave extract was observed with 2000 mg/kg dose reducing the EPG and worm counts by 55.46%-69.75% and 63.83% respectively. The standard anticestodal drug, praziquantel at 25 mg/kg single dose revealed 100% reduction in both of EPG and worm counts. The study suggests that the leaves extract of C. blumei possesses signifi cant anticestodal effi cacy and supports its use in traditional medicine.
Diffusion of interacting micelles: A general treatment at low salt concentrations (1982)

The micellar diffusivity, measured by quasielastic light scattering, is described by a simple phenomenological expression for a variety of surfactants over a range of surfactant concentrations and temperatures at low salt concentration where electrostatic interactions dominate. This universal expression contains the low order perturbations to the micellar diffusivity in the absence of interactions. The dominant correction scales with the ratio of surfactant to salt concentrations and results from repulsive electrostatic interactions, screened by the added salt ions. By fitting experimental data to this expression, we obtain the Stokes–Einstein micellar radius and a relative measure of the micellar ionization fraction.

Free-form Fresnel RXI-RR Köhler design for high-concentration photovoltaics with spectrum-splitting (2011)

Development of a novel HCPV nonimaging concentrator with high concentration (>500x) and built-in spectrum splitting concept is presented. It uses the combination of a commercial concentration GaInP/GaInAs/Ge 3J cell and a concentration Back-Point-Contact (BPC) silicon cell for efficient spectral utilization, and external confinement techniques for recovering the 3J cell's reflection. The primary optical element (POE) is a flat Fresnel lens and the secondary optical element (SOE) is a free-form RXI-type concentrator with a band-pass filter embedded in it - Both the POE and SOE performing Köhler integration to produce light homogenization on the receiver. The band-pass filter transmits the IR photons in the 900-1200 nm band to the silicon cell. A design target of an "equivalent" cell efficiency ~46% is predicted using commercial 39% 3J and 26% Si cells. A projected CPV module efficiency of greater than 38% is achievable at a concentration level larger than 500X with a wide acceptance angle of ±1°. A first proof-of concept receiver prototype has been manufactured using a simpler optical architecture (with a lower concentration, ~100x and lower simulated added efficiency), and experimental measurements have shown up to 39.8% 4J receiver efficiency using a 3J cell with a peak efficiency of 36.9%.
