Fetal-Onset Severe Skeletal Muscle Glycogenosis Associated with Phosphorylase-b Kinase Deficiency (2000)

We report on a premature newborn girl delivered after 32 weeks of gestation by cesarean section after sparse limb movements, fetal tachycardia and late heart rate decelerations had suggested fetal distress. Following 1 day of mechanical ventilation, adequate pulmonary gas exchange was achieved by spontaneous breathing. Main symptoms were virtually complete absence of spontaneous movements, increased flexor tonus of the extremities, and hypotonia of the trunk. Inability to suck or swallow required nasogastric gavage feeding. There were no hypoglycemic episodes. Echocardiography revealed normal myocardial function. Creatine kinase was 237 U/I at 2 days of life, declining to normal values thereafter. Muscle biopsy revealed increased glycogen storage with subsarcolemmal glycogen deposits and low phosphorylase-a activity while total phosphorylase was normal after in vitro activation, suggestive of phosphorylase-b kinase deficiency. No mutation was detected in exon 1 of the myophosphorylase gene. No psychomotor development was observed, and the infant died of central apnea at 3 months of age.
Production of Viscous Dextran-Containing Whey-Sucrose Broths by <i>Leuconostoc mesenteroides</i> ATCC 14935 (1984)

Viscous broths were produced by growing Leuconostoc mesenteroides on a medium containing whey supplemented with sucrose. When combined with similarly produced xanthan-containing broths, a synergistic increase in viscosity was observed.

Sinusoidal and Relaxation Oscillations in Source-Coupled Multivibrators (2007)

The paper considers the differential equation describing sinusoidal and relaxation oscillations of the source-coupled multivibrator. The transition from one form of oscillations to another, when the coupling capacitor is increasing, is explained by modifications in the shape of the central branch of the isocline of horizontal tangents on the phase plane of this differential equation. The formulas for amplitude and frequency calculations in sinusoidal operation are found. The calculations of transistor switching time and period for relaxation oscillations are provided as well. The results were verified in simulations.
Gate Sizing and Replication to Minimize the Effects of Virtual Ground Parasitic Resistances in MTCMOS Designs (2006)

The Multi-Threshold CMOS (MTCMOS) technique can significantly reduce sub-threshold leakage currents during the circuit sleep (standby) mode by adding high-V/sub th/ power switches (sleep transistors) to low-V/sub th/ logic cells. During the active mode of the circuit, the high-V/sub th/ transistors and the virtual ground network can be modeled as resistors, which in turn cause voltage of the virtual ground node to rise thereby degrading the switching speed of the logic cells. This paper introduces a new design methodology that minimizes the impact of virtual ground parasitic resistances on the performance of an MTCMOS circuit by using gate resizing and logic restructuring (i.e., gate replication.) Experimental results show that the proposed techniques are highly effective in making the MTCMOS circuits robust with respect to such parasitic resistance effects.
NEITHER FISH NOR FLESH (2009)

ABSTRACT Against the notion of chance that Robin Kelsey proposes as the opening to a new conception of photography and its relationship to history, this response argues for attention to the apparatuses that strive to “cope with chance” and guarantee meaning—apparatuses whose effective purpose is precisely not to be undone by chance and not to be reminded of their contingent and arbitrary nature—in other words, of their historicity. This opens another kind of encounter with the historicity of the photographic image, as sliding from frame to frame, never quite fitting any of them, the photograph shows itself as an elusive opening, the ground of irreducibly heterogeneous and radically incommensurable stakes—never just one definitive and well‐flagged stake driven into the ground at some singular moment in the past.
Design of cold‐formed steel members – comparison of EN 1993‐1‐3 and Direct Strength Method (2013)

Abstract This paper compares the design concepts for cold‐formed steel members according to the European standard EN 1993‐1‐3 [22] and the Direct Strength Method (DSM) according to Appendix 1 of the AISI specification [3]. References to where the two approaches are described are followed by comparative analyses focusing on the fundamental design concepts, the design procedure, strength curves, opportunities and limits to their application. The paper points out similarities and differences, difficulties and opportunities. Channel section design examples are used to compare the different approaches. Current and ongoing research to extend the standards is summarized to show the future possibilities.

Theoretical Issues—Philosophical and Psychological Considerations (1998)

The Animals to Animats Conference brings together researchers from ethology, psychology, ecology, artificial intelligence, artificial life, robotics, engineering, and related fields to further understanding of the behaviors and underlying mechanisms that allow natural and synthetic agents (animats) to adapt and survive in uncertain environments. The work presented focuses on well-defined models--robotic, computer-simulation, and mathematical--that help to characterize and compare various organizational principles or architectures underlying adaptive behavior in both natural animals and animats.
A Universal Crease Pattern for Folding Orthogonal Shapes (2009)

We present a universal crease pattern-known in geometry as the tetrakis tiling and in origami as box pleating-that can fold into any object made up of unit cubes joined face-to-face (polycubes).More precisely, there is one universal finite crease pattern for each number n of unit cubes that need to be folded.This result contrasts previous universality results for origami, which require a different crease pattern for each target object, and confirms intuition in the origami community that box pleating is a powerful design technique.

Markov Modeling and Analysis of Team Communication (2017)

This paper presents a predictive data analytics process for examining the relationship between team communication and performance in planning tasks. Team performance is measured in terms of the time each team spends in completing the planning task and the cost of the concomitant work schedule. The predictive data analytics process encompasses three data abstraction techniques for data preparation, three probabilistic models that represent the temporal features of data abstracted from team communication interactions, and a validation process that selects the best pair of data abstraction and model for subsequent insight analysis. Experimental data obtained from 32 teams of three members each, tasked to solve a personnel scheduling problem, is used for validating the proposed methodology.
Quantitative Detection of Double-Stranded RNA-Mediated Gene Silencing of Parasitism Genes in Heterodera glycines. (2007)

The introduction of a double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) into an organism to induce sequence-specific RNA interference (RNAi) of a target transcript has become a powerful technique to investigate gene function in nematodes and many organisms. Data provided here indicate that the inclusion of 1-2 mM spermidine and 50 mM octopamine and a 24 hr incubation period of nematodes in double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) soaking solutions resulted in a considerable increase in the percentage of nematodes that ingested dsRNA as compared to previous reports. This modified dsRNA soaking method was coupled with quantitative real-time RT-PCR (qRT-PCR) analyses to assess the potential silencing of the Heterodera glycines parasitism gene transcripts Hg-pel-1 and Hg-4E02 that are expressed within the esophageal gland cells of preparasitic H. glycines J2. The Hg-pel-1 transcript was most efficiently silenced with one dsRNA construct (ds267) at the highest dsRNA soaking concentration of 5.0 mg/ml, while the Hg-4E02 transcript was more efficiently silenced at the 2.5 mg/ml dsRNA concentration as compared to 5.0 mg/ml. A dsRNA construct (ds285) complementary to a different sequence within the Hg-pel-1 transcript than construct ds267 induced only minimal silencing of the Hg-pel-1 transcript at 2.5 mg/ml. The results suggest that both dsRNA concentration and sequence relative to the transcript targeted are critical for maximizing potential RNAi effects in parasitic nematodes.
Chemistry, coeliac-toxicity and detection of gluten and related prolamins in foods. (1991)

Some recent advances in the understanding of the chemistry of gluten proteins and its relationship to the toxicity of different fractions in coeliac disease (gluten intolerance) is reviewed. Most recent studies on gluten toxicity have used in vitro analyses of cellular immune activation by gluten fractions and peptides. Our work indicates that gliadin is the most active of the different protein families found within the wheat grain and that a specific peptide sequence located in the amino terminus domain of alpha-gliadin and containing the sequence proline-serine-glutamine-glutamine was most active. Improvement in the dietary management of coeliac disease is possible by use of test kits for the detection of gluten in foods. Both laboratory kits and home test kits (suitable for use by individual coeliacs) are available and reliably detect gluten from wheat, rye and barley even after cooking or baking.
Short chain fatty acids and cadmium cytotoxicity in ROS 17/2. 8 cells (1991)

ROS 17/2.8 rat osteosarcoma cells are extremely sensitive to the cytotoxic effects of Cd. In naive cells, sensitivity to Cd is associated with poor inducibility of metallothionein (MT). Treatment of ROS 17/2.8 cells with Na butyrate (NaB) results in increased resistance to Cd cytotoxicity and increased MT gene expression. The relation between the structure of short chain fatty acids and the alterations of Cd cytotoxicity in ROS 17/2.8 cells was investigated by culture of cells in the presence of 1 or 5 mM Na acetate, NaB, methyl butyrate, isobutyric acid, methyl isobutyrate and caproic acid. Among these compounds, only 5 mM NaB significantly increased the survival of ROS cells exposed to 0.1 to 10 {mu}M Cd and only NaB treatment was effective in increasing MT gene inducibility. The role of inhibition of DNA replication by NaB in cell resistance to Cd was examined. Among compounds tested, only 5 mM NaB significantly inhibited DNA synthesis. However, in cells in which DNA synthesis is inhibited by exposure to hydroxyurea, addition and removal of NaB from culture medium modulates cellular resistance to Cd. Hence, the effectiveness of NaB as a modifier of cell response to Cd is not due entirely to changes inmore » cell proliferation. Additionally, rigid structural constraints for effectiveness dictate that only NaB is a potent modifier of resistance to Cd.« less
Conceptual design optimization based on synchronous structure and tolerance design (2006)

To ensure the feasibility of conceptual-structure design and its cost saving,the tolerance design was set in the conceptual design stage and its key technologies were studied.Firstly,the process model of synchronous structure and tolerance design and the corresponding tolerance representation model were constructed based on a structure growth design methodology.Then the methods for the auto-generation of local dimension chain and overall dimension chain in the design process were studied.The whole frame of synchronous tolerance design and subsequent conceptual design optimization based on the tolerance results was established,which could optimize the conceptual design based on tolerance.Finally,the validity of the methodology was proved by piston clamp design.

RPL A Data Reduction Language (1899)

In the MITRE Interferometer Radar System, the outputs from a number of signal processors are recorded in digital form on magnetic tape utilizing an SDS-930 computer. A large number of these data tapes are recorded during system tests and observation of satellites. Data processing programs must be continually written to reduce these data to a form suitable for the analysis of radar performance.
[Infective endocarditis in patients with congenital heart disease]. (2011)

The incidence of infective endocarditis (IE) in patients with congenital heart disease (CHD) is higher than in general population; this is a major problem considering the continuous expansion of such group of patients. Generally the more complex is the congenital heart disease the higher is the risk of IE. The aetiology, clinical features, complications, basis for diagnosis and treatment of IE in CHD patients don't differ from those in acquired cardiac disease; however, right-sided IE is more frequent in CHD patients. Due to the complex anatomy or presence of artificial material in many CHD, the transesophageal echocardiogram is extremely useful although echocardiographic assessment remains difficult. Prognosis is better than in other forms of IE with a mortality rate <10%. Primary prevention is crucial: a good oral-dental hygiene and regular dental review are as important as antibiotic prophylaxis; however this awareness in the CHD population is still not satisfactorily spread due to an educational problem. New IE guidelines from International Cardiology Societies emphasize the role of primary prevention and limit antibiotic prophylaxis to the highest risk patients undergoing the highest risk procedures. This article reviews the main reasons justifying the revision of previous IE guidelines, focuses on criteria to select CHD patients requiring antibiotic prophylaxis and gives information about antibiotic therapy to use.
Antineoplastic drug sensitivity of human MCF-7 breast cancer cells stably transfected with a human alpha class glutathione S-transferase gene. (1991)

Studies have suggested that the alpha class glutathione S-transferase (GST) may protect cells from the chemotherapeutic drugs chlorambucil and melphalan. In order to further define the function of human alpha class GST, a complementary DNA which encodes it was ligated into an expression vector under the direction of the human metallothionein-IIA promoter and stably transfected into human MCF-7 breast cancer cells in conjunction with the G418-selectable plasmid pSV2neo. Clonal cell lines were identified which expressed increased levels of GST enzyme activity (2.2- to 5.6-fold). The transfected cell lines also had increased peroxidase activity using cumene hydroperoxide as the substrate (1.9- to 3.8-fold) which is consistent with the intrinsic peroxidase activity of alpha class GSTs. Southern blot analysis indicated that genomic DNA from these cells contained a fragment indistinguishable from the transfected alpha class GST complementary DNA (850 base pairs); Northern blot analysis of total cellular RNA indicated that these cells contained appropriately sized alpha class GST RNA (980 nucleotides); and Western blot analysis indicated that, while MCF-7 cells contained no detectable alpha class GST protein, the transfected cells contained markedly elevated levels of alpha class GST but no detectable mu or pi class GST. These alpha class GST transfected cells had increased resistance to ethacrynic acid (2.1- to 3.0-fold). However, the transfected cells failed to show any increased resistance measured at the drug dosage which inhibited 50% of the colony formation to the chemotherapeutic drugs chlorambucil, melphalan, Adriamycin, or cisplatin under conditions of either continuous or 1-h drug exposure. Neither was there any change in sensitivity to the cytotoxins benzo(a)pyrene, benzo(a)pyrene-trans-7,8-dihydrodiol-9,10-epoxide (anti), or 1-chloro-2,4-dinitrobenzene. These studies indicate that expression of this human alpha class GST by itself in MCF-7 human breast cancer cells does not confer resistance to the chemotherapeutic drugs tested under the conditions used in these studies.
Source Apportionment of Fine and Coarse Particulate Matter in Industrial Areas of Kaduna, Northern Nigeria (2016)

This study was conducted to investigate the sources of fine and coarse airborne particulate matter in an urban environment in Nigeria. A total of 278 samples were collected over a twelve-month period from two industrial areas (Kudenda agricultural processing AP and Refinery industries NNPC) in Kaduna, Northern Nigeria for PM2.5 and PM2.5–10 on nuclepore polycarbonate filters using a Gent sampler. Elemental concentrations and black carbon analyses were performed using X-Ray fluorescence (XRF) and optical transmissometry respectively. The annual average concentrations for PM2.5 at each site (Kudenda and NNPC) were 135.7 µg m–3 and 37.2 µg m–3 and for PM2.5–10, concentrations were 269.2 µg m–3 and 97.4 µg m–3, respectively. These values exceeded the Nigerian Annual National Ambient Air Quality Standard (NAAQS) of 15 µg m–3 for PM2.5 and 60 µg m–3 for PM10. Positive matrix factorization (PMF) was used to identify sources and quantify their contribution to pollutants at the sampling sites in one of the most industrialized cities in Nigeria. Four sources were resolved for both PM2.5 and PM2.5–10 and were identified as: Residual oil 49% (17.16 ± 0.04 µg m–3), Soil 29% (10.36 ± 0.26 µg m–3), Continental dust 18% (6.20 ± 0.18 µg m–3), and Motor vehicles emissions 4% (1.56 ± 0.02 µg m–3) for PM2.5 while that for PM2.5–10 were Soil 50% (27.37 ± 1.03 µg m–3), Continental dust 21% (11.55 ± 0.26 µg m–3), Vehicular emissions 18% (9.87 ± 0.03 µg m–3), and Petrochemical 11% (6.23 ± 0.02 µg m–3). About 82% and 79% were attributed to anthropogenic sources for both fine and coarse samples, respectively. Continental dust was associated with northwesterly and northerly regional transport. Residual oil combustion was the predominant fine PM source and was attributed to fuel oil combustion for power generation and process energy within the local industrial areas. Although transported continental dust is an important source, the majority of the airborne PM in this industrial area was the result of local emissions.

Intrinsic Complexity of RR and QT Intervals at the Cellular Level (2018)

We characterize the complexity of interbeat intervals (IBIs) and field potential durations (FPDs) of human-induced plurioptent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes<br/>(hiPSC-CMs). The complexity is assessed using the multiscale entropy (MSE) method up to the scale of ten beats. The MSE profiles of healthy and diseased (long-QT syndrome) hiPSC-CMs show important differences, which demonstrate the usefulness of the method in the characterization of the cells and in the analysis of hereditary cardiac diseases. We show that the intrinsic complexity is possibly<br/>altered by the differentiation methods, as well as the age and mutations of the cells.

Origami Inspired Reconfigurable Antenna for Wireless Communication Systems (2018)

This paper presents the design, fabrication, and experimental validation of an origami-inspired reconfigurable antenna. The proposed antenna can operate as a monopole or an inverted-L antenna, by changing its configuration. Doing so changes its operational frequency, principal radiation mode, and directivity. Measurements show that the antenna is able to change its resonance frequency from 750 MHz to 920 MHz---equivalent to 22.6\% frequency shift. Simulations are carried out to compare the radiation characteristics of the antenna (gain and radiation pattern) in both configurations. The results validate that the antenna has a reconfigurable bandwidth, which enables a better channel characterization for RF systems.
