Mediastinal Atypical Carcinoid and Neurofibromatosis Type 1 (2000)

Abstract We report a case of mediastinal atypical carcinoid in a 63-year-old woman with neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF-1), who presented with shortness of breath and a bulky mediastinal mass. Initial consideration was given to a neurogenic tumor. However, on thoracoscopic biopsy, the histologic appearance was consistent with an atypical carcinoid. Carcinoid tumors have been reported in association with NF-1 previously, but commonly in such unusual sites as the ampulla of Vater and duodenum and not in the thorax. The bulky, extensive, and highly vascular nature of the lesion precluded resection or debulking surgery. To our knowledge, there are no previous reports of atypical carcinoid of the lung or mediastinum in a patient with neurofibromatosis. This case report, therefore extends the spectrum of solid neoplasia in general and carcinoid tumors in specific, as they occur in association with NF-1.
Bolesatine induces agglutination of rat platelets and human erythrocytes and platelets in vitro (1996)

Bolesatine is a toxic glycoprotein isolated from the mushroom Boletus satanas Lenz, which has been shown to inhibit protein synthesis in cell-free systems and cell culture. It is toxic to rodents, the LD50% 24 h being 1 mg kg-1 (i.p.) and 0.15 mg kg-1 (i.v.) in the rat in which it induces hepatic blood stasis. Bolesatine possesses lectinic properties with in particular a sugar binding site for D-galactose and mitogenic activity toward lymphocytes. Tested for cell agglutination on red blood cells and platelets, bolesatine agglutinates both human and rat platelets from threshold concentrations of 30 and 300 nM respectively. EDTA and PGI2 (aggregation inhibitors) do not decrease the agglutination induced by bolesatine, indicating that the process does not involve platelet activation. In contrast, fibrinogen decreases platelet agglutination induced by bolesatine, most likely by masking the binding sites on platelets or by interacting with the toxin. Bolesatine agglutinates all red blood cells without any blood group specificity in the concentration range of 20 to 40 nM. This haemagglutination cannot be prevented by sugars, including D-galactose at a concentration of 0.5 M.
Experimental Investigation of Undersampling for Adjacent Channel Interference Cancellation Scheme (2006)

In this paper an adjacent channel interference (ACI) cancellation scheme for multi-channel reception with undersampling and investigated. Low-IF receiver architecture is used in the multi-channel reception scheme. However, in this system, the signal in the adjacent channel causes interference to the desired signal. ACI cancellation scheme with analog filter bank has been proposed to mitigate the influence from the adjacent channel. Undersampling technique is applied in this system in order to lower the required sampling frequency and power consumption. The effects of the adjacent channel to the undersampling technique in this scheme is investigated through the experiment
Rethinking classical internal forces for active contour models (2005)

The classical active contour model has two basic internal forces: tension and curvature. These forces are included to provide cohe sion, equal control point spacing, and locally smooth shape. These classical internal forces have undesirable attributes that are in conflict with these original desired characteristics. Tension evenly spaces the control points, but also causes the models to collapse in weak image gradients. Curvature produces locally smooth curvature, but it does so by forcing the model toward a straight line. The paper returns to the original active contour model motivations to reformulate these internal forces. The desired properties are achieved without the introduction of unwanted model behavior A new spacing force and a new constant change in curvature force are introduced and their performance characteristics are discussed. The paper includes experimental results that demonstrate the efficacy and performance of the proposed reformulations.
Mixing and combustion in a spinning combustor (1992)

The effect of spin on mixing and combustion in a circular diict with a primary air jet and secondary gas injection through the duct wail was studied using a spin rig, with spin rates up to 10,000 rpm. The spinning ducted flowfield was compared to stationary conditions. Spin enhanced the spreading rate of the pipe and orifice jets, resulting in a larger radial velocity component and an onset of a tangential component in the jet's core for the pipe jet and in the jet's shear layer for the orifice jet. The turbulence amplification rate was enhanced predominantly in the pipe jet. The tests showed that the duct-spin affects the flow even for a relatively short entrance duct. Measurement of the mixture ratio distribution using gas sampling probes in nonreacting tests were done with inert gas injection. Centrifugal forces affected the mixing depending on the weight of the gas relative to air. The mixing was enhanced for lighter-than-air gas and suppressed for heavier. Combustion tests included both ethylene as secondary gas and solid-fuel at the wall, In gaseous fuel combustion, the spin increased the combustion temperature due to improved mixing caused by low-molecular -weight products and reduced density. For solid-fuel combustion the spin had an adverse effect. Combustion temperatures were decreased due to reduced mixing caused by centrifugal forces acting on soot and heavy hydrocarbon products.

Patterns of Care After Magnetic Resonance Imaging of the Spine in Primary Care (2012)

Patients receiving MRI scans of the spine in the primary care setting are frequently referred for surgical assessment and most do not receive subsequent surgery. MRI scan results do not discriminate very well between those who will and will not undergo surgery, suggesting that alternative models for the assessment of patients with spinal complaints in primary care should be explored, particularly in jurisdictions with long wait times for elective spinal surgery consultation.
Identification and mapping of adult‐plant stripe rust resistance in soft red winter wheat cultivar ‘<scp>USG</scp> 3555’ (2012)

Abstract Little is known about the extent or diversity of resistance in soft red winter wheat ( Triticum aestivum L.) to stripe rust, caused by the fungal pathogen P uccinia striiformis f.sp. tritici . The soft red winter ( SRW ) wheat cultivar ‘ USG 3555’ has effective adult‐plant resistance to stripe rust, which was characterized in a population derived from ‘ USG 3555’/‘Neuse’. The mapping population consisted of 99 recombinant inbred lines, which were evaluated for stripe rust infection type ( IT ) and severity to race PST ‐100 in field trials in N orth C arolina in 2010 and 2011. Genome‐wide molecular‐marker screenings with 119 simple sequence repeats and 560 Diversity Arrays Technology (DArT) markers were employed to identify quantitative trait loci ( QTL ) for stripe rust resistance. QTL on chromosomes 1AS, 4BL and 7D of ‘ USG 3555’ explained 12.8, 73.0 and 13.6% of the variation in stripe rust IT , and 13.5, 72.3 and 10.5% of the variation in stripe rust severity, respectively. Use of these and additional diagnostic markers for these QTL will facilitate the introgression of this source of stripe rust resistance into SRW wheat lines via marker‐assisted selection.

Molecules in pain and sex: a developing story (2017)

Microglia are dynamic immune cells with diverse roles in maintaining homeostasis of the central nervous system. Dysregulation of microglia has been critically implicated in the genesis of neuropathic pain. Peripheral nerve injury, a common cause of neuropathic pain, engages microglia-neuronal signalling which causes disinhibition and facilitated excitation of spinal nociceptive pathways. However, recent literature indicates that the role of microglia in neuropathic pain is sexually dimorphic, and that female pain processing appears to be independent of microglia, depending rather on T cells. Despite this sex difference, pain signalling in the spinal cord converges downstream of microglia, as NMDAR-mediated facilitated excitation in pain transmitting neurons is consistent between males and females. Determining whether pain signalling is sexually dimorphic in humans and, further, addressing the sex bias in pain research will increase the translational relevance of preclinical findings and advance our understanding of chronic pain in women.
Three dimensional meibography for diagnosis of dry eye syndrome (2015)

Purpose The dysfunction of meibomian glands which secrete components of lipid layer in tears is currently pointed out as one of the main causes occurring dry eye. The distribution of that is more than 70% in Asian, especially. This brought out the importance for the dysfunction of meibomian glands. Our study was aimed to confirm the efficacy of 3D meibography to evaluate the structures of meibomian glands. Methods This study is a cross sectional study for patients who had diagnosed as dry eye disease associated with the dysfunction of meibomian glands at Seoul Saint Mary's Hospital from July to October, 2014. To confirm the structure of dry eye patients, 3D images using 3D OCT (optical coherence tomography) and 2D images using infrared camera were obtained. Patients who had the drop‐out lesion in 3D and 2D images were divided as two groups, and differences between them were analyzed. At the same time, to find the clinical signification for structural changes of meibomian glands, all patients had an ocular surface and a tear function examination to define the degree of dry eye. Results As compared between 3D and 2D images for dry eye patients who had the drop‐out lesion on meibomian glands, 3D images was more useful for diagnosis of dry eye than 2D, especially in dry eye related with mild meibomian gland disease. Conclusions Our study confirmed that the structural change of meibomian glands was reflected in optical coherence tomography 3D images. Especially, 3D meibography was more powerful than 2D infrared camera to find out the real state of drop‐out lesion on meibomian glands. But, there was no statistical significance between the location of drop‐out lesions; such as near lid margin, middle area, near superior conjunctival fornix, and clinical features in these study.
沖縄の水資源とその利用に関する2・3の考察 ―沖縄における水問題総論として― (1977)

People of Okinawa have had the serious problem of the lack for living water almost every year past. Inspite of its plenty rainfalls a year, the water could scarcely be reserved on these islands from their land formations and geological conditions. Another problem is this the increase of consumption of water, yearly, for the livings, industrials and agricultures. Relating those problems, the investigation into the water resource for the development has been undertaken by the Government of the Ryukyu Islands (Okinawa prefecture at present). However, the characteristics of water-resource-development in Okinawa are much complicated for its geograplical, economical, and political conditions (e. g. U. S. army base etc). There is a few works on those problems, accordingly it is important to study of this subject systematically. The present paper gives a general discussion on this water-rescurce-problem of Okinawa and the related problems (e.g.Expo 75 and water supply plan etc).
<title>Tubular mosaics</title> (2001)

The goal of this research is to quickly create a compact, accurate representation of the path of a robot. Others have developed techniques for building 3D maps, while this work concentrates on building a descriptive image of where the robot has been. This technique which we call "tubular mosaics," provides an orthographic-like view of the hallways the robot has traversed. An omnidirectional camera produces images that can contain a hemispherical eld of view. Mosaics are built from wedges extracted from each frame. We demonstrate the technique using views perpendicular to the camera motion resulting in the upper half of the tubular mosaic (i.e. two walls of a corridor, including the ceiling.) Each wedge is unwarped into a rectangular strip. Strips from consecutive frames of video are matched and incorporated into the mosaics. Others have created orthographic strip mosaics of areas using a camera looking down at an angle from an airplane. Our work is a generalization of this to multiple directions. Three techniques of varying complexity and accuracy are presented. Results will be useful for robot navigation. Other applications include texture mapping and the creation of a compact representation of the video stream captured by the robot.
Mutation Discovered in a Feline Model of Human Congenital Retinal Blinding Disease (2010)

A putative mutation causative of the Rdy phenotype has been described as a single base pair deletion in exon 4 of the CRX gene, thus identifying the first animal model for CRX-linked disease that closely resembles the human disease. As such, it will provide valuable insights into the mechanisms underlying these diseases and their variable presentation, as well as providing a suitable model for testing therapies for these diseases.
High-yield Synthesis of MCM-48 at Low Temperature (2008)

A low cost, fast, and feasible synthesis method of MCM-48 was proposed by adjusting the temperature(303—313 K) and co-surfactant. The product yield of the synthesized MCM-48 was up to 98%. Powder X-ray diffraction(XRD), transmission electron microscopic(TEM) images, scanning electron microscopic(SEM) Images, and nitrogen adsorption-desorption isotherms were used to characterize the synthesized samples.
Limit of Dislocation Density and Ultra-Grain-Refining on Severe Deformation in Iron (2003)

It is well-known that severe deformation to metals causes a direct grain refinement of the matrix without special heat-treatments due to the mechanism of dynamic continuous recrystallization (DCR). However, the microstructural revolution during severe deformation is seemed to be different depending on the deformation mode, namely the direction of deformation. In general, multi-directional deformation is thought to be effective for the grain refinement caused through DCR. For instance, ultra-grain-refinement to 10nm has already achieved by mechanical milling treatment in a steel powder and hardness of mechanically milled steel powder is increased to around HV12GPa by such a marked grain refinement. On the other hand, hardness of iron never exceeds HV4GPa by the mode of uni-directional deformation such a conventional cold rolling. In this paper, a limit of dislocation density is discussed for iron which is severely strained by the mode of uni-directional deformation, and also the importance of multi-directional deformation on DCR will be mentioned in association with a significant work hardening behavior in mechanically milled iron powder
Vision based hand gesture interfaces for wearable computing and virtual environments (2004)

Current user interfaces are unsuited to harness the full power of computers. Mobile devices like cell phones and technologies such as virtual reality demand a richer set of interaction modalities to overcome situational constraints and to fully leverage human expressiveness. Hand gesture recognition lets humans use their most versatile instrument—their hands—in more natural and effective ways than currently possible. While most gesture recognition gear is cumbersome and expensive, gesture recognition with computer vision is non-invasive and more flexible. Yet, it faces difficulties due to the hand's complexity, lighting conditions, background artifacts, and user differences. 
The contributions of this dissertation have helped to make computer vision a viable technology to implement hand gesture recognition for user interface purposes. To begin with, we investigated arm postures in front of the human body in order to avoid anthropometrically unfavorable gestures and to establish a “comfort zone” in which humans prefer to operate their hands. 
The dissertation's main contribution is “HandVu,” a computer vision system that recognizes hand gestures in real-time. To achieve this, it was necessary to advance the reliability of hand detection to allow for robust system initialization in most environments and lighting conditions. After initialization, a “Flock of Features” exploits optical flow and color information to track the hand's location despite rapid movements and concurrent finger articulations. Lastly, robust appearance-based recognition of key hand configurations completes HandVu and facilitates input of discrete commands to applications. 
We demonstrate the feasibility of computer vision as the sole input modality to a wearable computer, providing “deviceless” interaction capabilities. We also present new and improved interaction techniques in the context of a multimodal interface to a mobile augmented reality system. HandVu allows us to exploit hand gesture capabilities that have previously been untapped, for example, in areas where data gloves are not a viable option. 
This dissertation's goal is to contribute to the mosaic of available interface modalities and to widen the human-computer interface channel. Leveraging more of our expressiveness and our physical abilities offers new and advantageous ways to communicate with machines.
Species-specific patterns of DNA bending and sequence (1991)

Nucleotide sequences in the GenEMBL database were analyzed using strategies designed to reveal species-specific patterns of DNA bending and DNA sequence. The results uncovered striking species-dependent patterns of bending with more variations among individual organisms than between prokaryotes and eukaryotes. The frequency of bent sites in sequences from different bacteria was related to genomic A + T content and this relationship was confirmed by electrophoretic analysis of genomic DNA. However, base composition was not an accurate predictor for DNA bending in eukaryotes. Sequences from C. elegans exhibited the highest frequency of bent sites in the database and the RNA polymerase II locus from the nematode was the most bent gene in GenEMBL. Bent DNA extended throughout most introns and gene flanking segments from C.elegans while exon regions lacked A-tract bending characteristics. Independent evidence for the strong bending character of this genome was provided by electrophoretic studies which revealed that a large number of the fragments from C.elegans DNA exhibited anomalous gel mobilities when compared to genomic fragments from over 20 other organisms. The prevalence of bent sites in this genome enabled us to detect selectively C.elegans sequences in a computer search of the database using as probes C.elegans introns, bending elements, and a 20 nucleotide consensus sequence for bent DNA. This approach was also used to provide additional examples of species-specific sequence patterns in eukaryotes where it was shown that (A) greater than or equal to 10 and (A.T) greater than or equal to 5 tracts are prevalent throughout the untranslated DNA of D.discodium and P.falciparum, respectively. These results provide new insight into the organization of eukaryotic DNA because they show that species-specific patterns of simple sequences are found in introns and in other untranslated regions of the genome.
Unusual Swallow Syncope Caused by Huge Hiatal Hernia. (2002)

Swallowing is a rare cause of syncope. A 76-year-old woman was admitted to a hospital due to postprandial loss of consciousness. Although no remarkable cardiogenic problem was proven, upper gastrointestinal barium examination revealed a huge hiatal hernia. Both echocardiography and MRI presented the collapsed left atrium due to the herniated stomach. Water pouring examination successfully represented lightheadedness, and Nissen's fundoplication was carried out. After this procedure, she never suffered from syncopal attack.
