Accelerating the process of engineering change orders: capacity and congestion effects (1999)

Engineering change orders (ECOs) are important drivers of development costs and lead time. This article analyzes the process of administering engineering change orders in the case of the climate control system development within a large vehicle development project. This administrative process encompasses the emergence of a change (e.g., a problem or a market-driven feature change), its management approval, and final implementation. Despite strong time pressure, this process can take several weeks, several months, and, in extreme cases, even over 1 year. Such a long lead time is especially remarkable as the actual processing time for the change typically does not exceed 2 weeks. Based on our case study, we develop an analytical framework that explains how such an extreme ratio between theoretical processing time and actual lead time is possible. The framework identifies congestion, stemming from scarce capacity coupled with processing variability, as a major lead time contributor. We outline five improvement strategies that an organization can use in order to reduce ECO lead time, namely, flexible capacity, balanced workloads, merged tasks, pooling, and reduced setups and batching. © 1999 Elsevier Science Inc.
White Matter Buckling: CT Sign of Extraaxial Intracranial Mass (1980)

The resolution of present day computed tomography (CT) scanners routinely permits discrimination of gray from white matter with delineation of a gray-white matter interface. Superficially situated extraaxial masses usually preserve the gray-white interface and tend to compress and/or buckle adjacent edematous white matter. This does not occur with superficially situated intraaxial lesions and is, therefore, essentially diagnostic of an extraaxial mass. It is postulated that this sign reflects the relative resistance of gray matter to edema in conjunction with the destruction of the gray-white interface by the infiltration of intraaxial lesions. White matter buckling is almost invariably associated with extracerebral fluid collections, It is less often discernible in association with meningioma. In a series of 100 consecutive proven meningioma cases, compression and/or buckling of central white matter was demonstrated in 28, and in 28 (40%) of 70 superficially situated lesions. White matter buckling is diagnostically significant when it occurs. It has been especially helpful in the diagnosis of otherwise atypical superficial masses.
Modulation of Endotoxin- and Enterotoxin-Induced Cytokine Release by In Vivo Treatment with β-(1,6)-Branched β-(1,3)-Glucan (1999)

Leukocytes activated by endotoxin or enterotoxins release proinflammatory cytokines, thereby contributing to the cascade of events leading to septic shock. In the present studies, we analyzed the effects of in vivo administration of a soluble immunomodulator, beta-(1,6)-branched beta-(1,3)-glucan (soluble beta-glucan), on toxin-stimulated cytokine production in monocytes and lymphocytes isolated from treated mice. In vitro stimulation of lymphocytes isolated from soluble beta-glucan-treated mice with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) resulted in enhanced production of interleukin-6 (IL-6) and suppressed production of tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha), while stimulation of these cells with staphylococcal enterotoxin B (SEB) or toxic shock syndrome toxin 1 (TSST-1) resulted in enhanced production of gamma interferon (IFN-gamma) and suppressed production of IL-2 and TNF-alpha compared to that in cells isolated from untreated mice. In vitro stimulation of monocytes isolated from soluble beta-glucan-treated mice with LPS also resulted in suppressed TNF-alpha production, while stimulation of these cells with SEB or TSST-1 resulted in suppressed IL-6 and TNF-alpha production compared to that in cells isolated from untreated mice. Thus, the overall cytokine pattern of leukocytes from soluble beta-glucan-treated mice reflects suppressed production of proinflammatory cytokines, especially TNF-alpha. Taken together, our results suggest that treatment with soluble beta-glucan can modulate the induction cytokines during sepsis, resulting in an overall decrease in host mortality.
Experience Report (2017)

Web applications are inherently event-driven and traditionally implemented using imperative callbacks in Javascript. An alternative approach for such programs is functional reactive programming (FRP). FRP offers abstractions to make event-driven programming convenient, safe and composable, but like pure functions it is isolated from the 'outside' world. In this paper we describe our experience in developing a library that binds FRP to the document object model (DOM). We describe that in its current state there are fundamental issues that do not yet have a perfect solution. We expand upon the functionality of existing FRP DOM libraries with an FRP model for DOM properties. We show that despite of some design problems a pragmatic library can be created that can be used to create web applications.
A Two-Step Procedure for Characterizing Obstacles Under a Rough Surface From Bistatic Measurements (2007)

A two-step electromagnetic detection procedure is proposed to characterize a dielectric obstacle buried at low depth under a rough surface from single-frequency and multistatic data. First, we have developed, in the framework of the small perturbation theory, a correlation procedure of the scattered field, which enables us to recover an estimation of the roughness profile. This method is tested for various cases with synthetic data provided by a rigorous boundary integral solver. Second, the obtained surface profile is introduced into the numerical simulation due to a finite-element code. An iterative process is then used, based on a level-set formulation, to obtain the shape of the buried target. The influence of the prior step on the accuracy of the reconstruction of the target is studied via various criteria and for different configurations.
On designing two-dimensional scan architecture for test chips (2017)

Real silicon reveals a lot about how new silicon processes work, so test chips are particularly helpful for the semiconductor manufacturers to evaluate a new technology. Traditionally, semiconductor manufacturers relied only on SRAM test chips for ramping up, qualifying and monitoring new semiconductor fabrication processes. Unfortunately, the transistor and circuit geometries used in an SRAM test chip represent only a small fraction of the transistor and circuit geometries found in a real product [BHA98]. In recent years, logic test chip that narrows the gap between the SRAM chips and the real products are used extensively [BHA98] [HES07] [KAR08]. The logic test vehicle is more representative of real product, but may not be as easily testable and diagnosable as the SRAMs. The logic test chips must capture information related to device and interconnect variability, including systematic and random variations, as well as manufacturing features used in lithography, thermal, stress, proximity effects, and they must use all potentially to-be-used library cells. The logic test chips will help manufacture to incorporate silicon-accurate models and enhanced the manufacturing process. In the past, logic test chips are a small function design that contains as more manufacturing features as possible. As for the test chips, the functionality of a chip does not matter. It is required that the test chip must be designed to cover all manufacturing features. It would be feasible if we can design a test chip with many scan cells such that each scan cell contains some manufacturing features to be used, and all scan cells cover all manufacturing features. Testing such a test chip becomes testing all scan cells and their interconnections. In case a failure occurs, diagnosis down to a scan cell can be easily achieved if we use some special scan architectures. In this paper we present the concept of a two-dimensional scan architecture that makes testing and diagnose down to defective scan cells more easily.
Olfactory detection and identification performance are dissociated in early Alzheimer's disease (1988)

Ten carefully screened men with very mild symptoms of Alzheimer's disease (AD) and ten healthy controls of similar age were compared on multiple chemosensory tasks: odor detection and identification, and taste detection. The patients scored significantly worse than controls on identification of odors and of a subset of airborne stimuli providing trigeminal stimulation. In contrast, the patients' olfactory detection thresholds as well as taste detection thresholds were not impaired relative to those of controls. The patients' scores on neuropsychological tests and the results 18F-2 deoxy-D-glucose PET studies did not correlate with any of the chemosensory measures. The isolated odor identification deficit suggests that the initial chemosensory impairment in AD is central rather than peripheral.

Metallverbindungen des Cyclopentadiens und Indens (1955)

Abstract Die Verbindungen werden meist durch Umsetzungen von Halogeniden der Übergangsmetalle mit Cyclopentadienyl‐magnesiumbromid bzw. durch Reaktion geeigneter Verbindungen derselben mit Alkalisalzen des Cyclopentadiens in flüssigem Ammoniak oder auch Tetrahydrofuran dargestellt. Die Strukturaufklärung der ungeladenen Metall‐di‐cyclopentadienyle ergab eine pentagonal‐antiprismatische Molekelgestalt. Sie sind leicht flüchtig, kristallisationsfreudig und in organischen Lösungsmitteln leicht löslich. Die Alkali‐ und Erdalkali‐Cyclopentadienyle zeigen salzartigen Charakter. Die Ring‐wasserstoffe sind, wie speziell am „Ferrocen”︁ gezeigt werden konnte, substituierbar. Auch Metall‐di‐indenyle konnten erhalten werden. Mono‐cyclopentadienyl‐Metallkomplexe sind gleichfalls stabil; dargestellt wurde eine große Zahl von Cyclopentadienyl‐metallcarbonylen, ‐nitrosylen und einige andere Komplextypen. Technische Verwendungsmöglichkeiten, so als Antiklopfmittel oder zur Förderung einer rauchlosen Verbrennung von Heizölen, sind vorgeschlagen worden.
An efficient method of reselecting Grand Master in IEEE 802.1AS (2014)

Recently, IEEE 802.3 Ethernet network is not limited to be used as the sub-network of a vehicle but also can be used as backbone network of a vehicle. Audio/Video Bridge (AVB) standard is about the Ethernet technology that can be used as a backbone network in a vehicle. AVB provides time-synchronized low latency streaming service through the Ethernet. 802.1 AS protocol in AVB can synchronize the time between different nodes through Grand Master (GM) which is selected by the Best Master Clock Algorithm (BMCA). If the synchronization message of GM is not received by another node within timeout interval, the protocol selects a new GM in the network through BMCA. This method can occur the bunching error because of consecutive exchange of messages. This paper proposes an efficient method to re-synchronize GM's time. This proposed method is to use a table which indicates a pre-defined sequence of GM to reconfigure GM. As a result, the reconfiguration procedure of GM with the sequence table can decrease generated traffic and a time when operating an existing BMCA procedure. In addition, this proposed method reduces the residence time of the bridge to prevent bunching of consecutive messages. Therefore, this paper proposes more efficient method of reselecting the GM than the BMCA.

Mitochondrial DNA in Day 3 embryo culture medium is a novel, non-invasive biomarker of blastocyst potential and implantation outcome (2014)

In assisted reproduction technology, embryo competence is routinely evaluated on morphological criteria. Over the last decade, efforts in improving non-invasive embryo assessment have looked into the secretome of embryos. Human embryos release genomic DNA (gDNA) and mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) into the culture medium, and the mtDNA/gDNA ratio is significantly correlated with embryo fragmentation. Here, we investigate whether mtDNA/gDNA ratio in embryo spent medium is correlated with blastulation potential and implantation. The mtDNA/gDNA ratio was assessed in 699 Day 3 culture media by quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) to investigate its correlation with embryo morphology, blastocyst development and implantation. A logistic regression model evaluated whether mtDNA/gDNA ratio in the secretome may improve the prediction of blastulation. We found that embryos that successfully developed into blastocysts exhibited a significantly higher mtDNA/gDNA ratio in the culture medium compared with those that arrest (P = 0.0251), and mtDNA/gDNA, combined with morphological grading, has the potential to predict blastulation better than morphology alone (P = 0.02). Moreover, mtDNA/gDNA ratio was higher in the media from good-quality embryos that reached the full blastocyst stage on Day 5 compared with those that developed more slowly (P < 0.0001). With respect to blastocyst morphology, higher trophectoderm quality was associated with a higher mtDNA/gDNA ratio in the culture medium. Finally, a high mtDNA/gDNA ratio in spent medium was associated with successful implantation outcome (P = 0.0452) of good-quality embryos. In summary, the mtDNA/gDNA ratio in the Day 3 embryo secretome, in combination with morphological grading, may be a novel, non-invasive, early biomarker to improve identification of viable embryos with high developmental potential.
A Poetry of Flesh and Bone: Miguel de Unamuno and Miguel Torga (2014)

This article looks to the figure of ‘flesh and bone to compare the poetry of Miguel de Unamuno, from Spain, and Miguel Torga, from Portugal. I focus on three biblical connotations of ‘flesh and bone to be observed in the two poets: filiation, concreteness, and mutual dependence. I argue that Unamuno and Torga' variegated usage of ‘flesh and bone works to centre their poetry on those individuals that Unamuno, who decisively influenced Torga, termed ‘men of flesh and bone. Further, I speak to the marked presence of biblical and more broadly religious imagery and language in the work of the two poets, who both maintained a conflicted, agonic attitude toward God.
Aerobic biodegradation and microbial population of a synthetic wastewater in a channel with suspended and attached biomass (1995)

A well mixed indoor recirculating channel was adopted to investigate aerobic heterotrophic biodegradation kinetics and microbial communities in drainage systems with suspended and attached biomass. Experiments were run with synthetic substrate. The biofilm function was distinguished from the suspended biomass by using the Biological Oxygen Monitor (BOM) to measure suspended biomass activity. The microbial community was overall dominated by filaments (mainly Sphaerotilus natans) due to the selection pressure of the soluble organic substrate; the biofilm was surface film-dominated because of the low flow velocity and shear stress. The channel processes were dominated by the biofilm function. However, it was found that the intrinsic Monod kinetic constants were μmax=2.8 d−1, Ks=1.8 mg/l for the suspended biomass, 1.4 d−1, 2.7 mg/l for the biofilm biomass, both at 28°C; and 0.76 d−1, 2.5 mg/l, 0.52 d−1 and 2.9 mg/l respectively for the two types of biomass, both at 200°C. The specific activity of suspended biomass was 50-100% higher than the biofilm biomass, but no significant difference was found between surface and base film biomass. Biofilm oxygen uptake rates (BUR) were around 25 gO2/m2.d at 28°C, 18 gO2/m2.d at 20°C, and velocity dependent. The observed oxygen consumption coefficient of biofilm Yo/s (gO2/ggluc) decreased from 50 to 10% when biofilm surface loading increased from 50 to 300 ggluc/m2.d. The relationship between the biomass population, intrinsic kinetics and biofilm performance is discussed.
Post operative diagnosis of osteopetrosis. (2004)

Osteopetrosis is a rare hereditary disease that was first described by a German Albert Schonberg in 1904. At least five types of osteopetrosis have been described. Among them osteopetrosis congenita (autosomal recessive) and osteopetrosis tarda (autosomal dominant) are most common. Here we are reporting a case of osteopetrosis tarda, who is a female of fifty years of age presented with fracture femur. Preoperatively there was no suspicion of osteopetrosis. She was only suspected while introducing an IM Nail during her fracture reduction. Diagnosis of osteopetrosis was confirmed post operatively by histopathology of medullary cavity of her femur.
An Insular Outbreak of Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (1968)

SummaryBetween 10 July and 23 October 1966 an epidemic of dengue hemorrhagic fever occurred on an island in the Gulf of Thailand. Fourteen cases of dengue-shock syndrome (with one death) and 20 of hemorrhagic-fever syndrome due to dengue occurred. An additional 65 cases of less severe dengue were seen. The 99 patients ranged in age from 1 to 15 years, with a median of 6.7 years; the female-to-male ratio was 55:44. The attack rate for the age group under 15 was 0.75% for the island as a whole, but reached 14% in one village. Dengue virus types 1, 2, or 3 were isolated from a total of 25 patients.Patients were categorized clinically and, independently, by serologic response to dengue. The syndromes of undifferentiated fever, dengue fever, and hemorrhagic fever were not found to be uniformly associated with dengue virus. Shock syndrome as defined was seen only in association with dengue and appeared to be a specific manifestation in the epidemiologic context cited. The median age in cases of mild illness was lower than that for either hemorrhagic fever or shock syndromes. The data presented are consistent with the hypothesis that the dengue-shock syndrome is due to an immunologic phenomenon associated with a second, or subsequent, dengue infection.
Is Anybody out There? Antecedents of Trust in Global Virtual Teams (1998)

:A global virtual team is an example of a boundaryless network organization form where a temporary team is assembled on an as-needed basis for the duration of a task and staffed by members from different countries. In such teams, coordination is accomplished via trust and shared communication systems. The focus of the reported study was to explore the antecedents of trust in a global virtual-team setting. Seventy-five teams, consisting of four to six members residing in different countries, interacted and worked together for eight weeks. The two-week trust-building exercises did have a significant effect on the team members’ perceptions of the other members’ ability, integrity, and benevolence. In the early phases of teamwork, team trust was predicted strongest by perceptions of other team members’ integrity, and weakest by perceptions of their benevolence. The effect of other members’ perceived ability on trust decreased over time. The members’ own propensity to trust had a significant, though unchanging, effect on trust. A qualitative analysis of six teams’ electronic mail messages explored strategies that were used by the three highest trust teams, but were used infrequently or not at all by the three lowest trust teams. The strategies suggest the presence of “swift” trust. The paper advances a research model for explaining trust in global virtual teams.
[The corneal epithelial barrier]. (1994)

The corneal epithelium is an stratificated pavimentous epithelium. The epithelial cells are grouped in 3 levels: superficial cells, intermediate cells, basal cells. The superficial cells are solidarised by there type of junctional complexes: desmosomes, impermeable junctions, and communicating junctions. Because the corneoconjunctival surface is colonised by microorganisms and every minimal lesions can favorise an infection, the epithelial integrity plays a protective role. The corneal epithelium constitute the main way of intraocular penetration of topical drugs. There are two ways of drugs penetration through corneal epithelium: intracell and pericell way. The penetration speed was influenced by ocular factors (epithelial lesions) and drugs features (solubility, molecular mass, molecular structure, pH, pK, concentration, contact time).
Acute Nonspecific Abdominal Pain (2006)

Compared with active clinical observation, early laparoscopy did not show a clear benefit in women with NSAP. A higher number of diagnosis and a shorter hospital stay in the LAP group did not led to a significant reduction in symptoms recurrences at 1 year.
Chromatographic separation and characterization of Pasteurella Haemolytica Cytotoxin (1986)

SUMMARY Biochemical and immunologic properties of the cytotoxin (leukotoxin) produced by Pasteurella haemolytica were examined. Crude, bacteria-free supernatants from logarithmic phase P haemolytica were fractionated, using a series of column chromatographic techniques. Sequential anion exchange chromatography, gel-filtration chromatography, and chromatofocusing resulted in a cytotoxic substance (cytotoxin-C) of approximately 160 kilodaltons (kD), as determined by use of gel-filtration chromatography. Polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis of cytotoxin-C yielded 3 protein bands with relative mobilites of 0.37, 0.42, and 0.63. On the basis of immunoblotting with a cytotoxin-neutralizing bovine immunoglobulin for antigen detection, the 2 low-mobility bands shared a strong region of immunogenicity. Using sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, principal protein constituents of cytotoxin-C were found at 160, 66, 57, and 23 kD. Using immunoblotting with cytotoxin-neutralizing immunoglobulin, strong, distinct reactions with the 66-and 57-kD bands were detected. Immunization of rabbits and mice with cytotoxin-C resulted in sera that reacted strongly with cytotoxin-C in enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays and immunodiffusion assays. The major immunogenic proteins also were detected by use of immunoblotting with anticytotoxin-C sera from rabbits and mice. Postinoculation rabbit sera neutralized crude cytotoxin.
Adjunctive corticosteroid therapy in pediatric severe sepsis: Observations from the RESOLVE study* (2010)

Children with severe sepsis who received adjunctive corticosteroid therapy exhibited similar illness severity compared with those who did not. No definitive improvement in outcomes can be attributable to adjunctive corticosteroid therapy in the largest pediatric sepsis trial conducted to date.
