Epidermal growth following a single application of 12-O-tetradecanoyl-phorbol-13-acetate in mice. (1980)

A single application of 17 nm of 12-O-tetradecanoyl-phorbol-13-acetate (TPA) onto the backs of CD-1 female mice results in a significant increase in epidermal wet weight and protein, which reaches its peak by 2 days, remains high for the next two days, and then begins to decrease, reaching normal levels by 10 days. This increase in epidermal mass is brought about largely by an increase in cell number, as evidenced by increases in the total amount of DNA, the number of nucleated cell layers, and the total number of epidermal nuclei/mm of interfollicular epidermis (IFE). The increase in the total number of epidermal nuclei/mm IFE is due entirely to an increase in the number of suprabasal nuclei/mm IFE. The number of basal nuclei/mm IFE actually is reduced by 50% by Day 1, remains low for the next 2 days, and then slowly increases back to normal levels by Day 10. Histologic examination indicates that at Days 1 and 2, when there is a significant decrease in the number of basal cells, there is marked epidermal cell damage. During this time, mitotic activity of the basal epidermal cells increases significantly, reaching a peak of 19 X that above normal by Day 2, and then slowly returns toward normal levels by Day 10. Our results suggest that the epidermal hyperplasia produced by 17 nm of TPA is probably a regenerative epidermal hyperplasia.
Performance of Groundplane Shaping in Four-Element Dualband MIMO Antenna (2017)

This work presents performance of groundplane shaping and its effect in four element dualband multiple input multiple output (MIMO) antenna. This proposed four element dualband MIMO antenna consists of four bowtie dipole antenna which operates at 1800 MHz (low frequency) and 2300 MHz (high frequency). This proposed four element dualband MIMO antenna occupies a 270 x 210 x 100 mm 3 of FR 4 substrate. We use four types of groundplane pattern i.e. full groundplane, cornered spatial groundplane,crossed middle groundplane, and spiral groundplane. These various grounplane patterns influence the performance of main parameters of dualband MIMO antenna. Cornered spatial groundplane pattern yields a largest bandwidth (VSWR ≤ 2) 282 MHz or 15.24% of center frequency at low frequency. Full groundplane pattern creates 135.2 MHz at high frequency. In addition, cornered spatial groundplane pattern also generates a lowest VSWR that is valued 1.21 at both low frequency and high frequency. The S parameters, basically both cornered spatial and full groundplane pattern produce a better return loss than two others. All four groundplane patterns deliver equally a mutual coupling parameter.The last, this proposed four element dualband MIMO with various groundplane patterns gives a good farfield properties i.e. gain, radiation pattern, H-E field.
[Adult celiac disease and type 1 diabetes: a severe and sometimes unknown genetic association]. (1988)

In 6 type 1 (insulin-dependent) diabetics, treated with insulin since the age of 2 to 35 years (mean 12), coeliac disease was diagnosed between the 10 th and 73 th years of age (mean 26). Five were of North African origin. Digestive symptoms and severe malnutrition were present in all of them, associated, in the two younger, with a major growth retardation and, in one, multiple pathologic fractures. Biopsy of the small intestine demonstrated, in all, total or subtotal villous atrophy. The metabolic control of diabetes was poor, with frequent hypoglycaemic attacks, induced by minute insulin doses. Severe chronic complications of diabetes were detectable in all of them. Plasma anti-reticulin antibodies were present, at high titer before starting the gluten-free diet, declining slowly after starting this diet, and negative in the patients who followed this diet. Among the genetic markers (which were determined in 4), HLA A1 was present in 4, B8 and DR3 in 3 and DR4 in 3. The DR7 was not detected. The gluten-free diet, memorized by the patients by the use of simple rules, improved the digestive symptoms, and insulin doses could then be increased. The overall prognosis remained poor, due to diabetic complications and sociologic desinsertion. Coeliac disease occurs in 1 to 2% of type 1 diabetics and 4-6% of the coeliac patients are diabetics. Diabetic subjects from North Africa are at high risk of this association. Misdiagnosis of the coeliac disease compromises the metabolic control and nutritional state.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Complement C3 proteins in psoriasis (1989)

A new polymorphism of the complement factor C3 in human plasma was demonstrated by isotachophoresis in agarose gels followed by immunodetection with rabbit anti-human C3c and C3d immunoglobulins. Four bands were detected in the immunoprint of freshly drawn EDTA-plasma, which were C3s1, C3s2, C3f1 and C3f2. At least four additional C3 components in Mg2+ -zymosan activated plasma were present, which were C3b1 to C3b4. The different forms of C3 in frozen and thawed heparin-plasma from 20 patients with psoriasis and 20 healthy individuals were studied from the immunoprint. The total content of C3 components was 29% greater in the patients with psoriasis than controls. The major difference was in the C3b components which were increased by 46%. In psoriatic patients, the two slow C3 components C3s1 and C3s2 were increased by 24 and 56% respectively, when compared with controls. The two fast C3 components C3f1 and C3f2 were decreased to 29 and 37%. The results suggest a direct involvement of the complement factor C3 in psoriasis.

Finite element analysis of free edge stresses in non-linear viscoelastic composites under uniaxial extension, bending and twisting loadings (1997)

A finite element procedure for the analysis of time-dependent interlaminar stresses in non-linear viscoelastic laminated composites subjected to arbitrary combinations of axial extension, bending and/or twisting loads has been developed based on Schapery's non-linear constitutive relations and Pipes and Pagano's displacement field for laminates under a generalized plane deformation state. Parametric studies are presented to demonstrate the accuracy of the numerical procedures. As illustrative examples, time-dependent non-linear interlaminar stresses for cross-ply and angle-ply laminates subjected to bending and twisting are present. Other layup orientations can be conveniently analysed using the presently developed numerical procedure. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
Zero-Liquid Discharge: Desalination of Waters with High Organic Content (2010)

AbstractA Water Research Foundation Tailored Collaboration project is being conducted to evaluate zero-liquid discharge (ZLD) desalination of waters with high concentrations of natural organic matter (NOM). The technical approach involves treating reverse osmosis (RO) or nanofiltration (NF) membrane concentrate to reduce fouling potential so the concentrate can be desalinated in a second membrane application. Concentrate generated from waters with high organic content must be treated to remove total organic carbon to prevent organic fouling and calcium, sulfate, and silica to prevent inorganic fouling. The research consists of three phases: preliminary analysis to identify concentrate treatment goals, evaluation of concentrate treatment options, and evaluation of the selected treatment approach. The processes evaluated for concentrate treatment were chemical softening, fluidized-bed crystallization, activated alumina, coagulation, ion exchange, and electrodialysis metathesis. Testing was conducted on five water sources. Results for one water source are reported here. The final Water Research Foundation report will be published in November 2010.
Robust Feature-Preserving Mesh Denoising Based on Consistent Subneighborhoods (2009)

In this paper, we introduce a feature-preserving denoising algorithm. It is built on the premise that the underlying surface of a noisy mesh is piecewise smooth, and a sharp feature lies on the intersection of multiple smooth surface regions. A vertex close to a sharp feature is likely to have a neighborhood that includes distinct smooth segments. By defining the consistent subneighborhood as the segment whose geometry and normal orientation most consistent with those of the vertex, we can completely remove the influence from neighbors lying on other segments during denoising. Our method identifies piecewise smooth subneighborhoods using a robust density-based clustering algorithm based on shared nearest neighbors. In our method, we obtain an initial estimate of vertex normals and curvature tensors by robustly fitting a local quadric model. An anisotropic filter based on optimal estimation theory is further applied to smooth the normal field and the curvature tensor field. This is followed by second-order bilateral filtering, which better preserves curvature details and alleviates volume shrinkage during denoising. The support of these filters is defined by the consistent subneighborhood of a vertex. We have applied this algorithm to both generic and CAD models, and sharp features, such as edges and corners, are very well preserved.
Inducing shortcuts on a mobile phone interface (2006)

Due to size restrictions, mobile phone user interfaces are often difficult to use[8]. In this short paper, we investigated inducing shortcuts to replace the sequence of actions required to complete common tasks on a mobile phone. In particular, we used mobile phone interaction data to evaluate several methods for inducing shortcuts. We considered the balance between maximising interface efficiency and shortcuts that remained stable and hence predictable.

Chemical and textural attributes of Hellim (Halloumi) cheese marketed in Turkey (2011)

Chemical and textural properties of Hellim (Halloumi) cheese marketed in Turkey were determined in this research. Cheese samples were collected from manufacturers in Turkey and according to data obtained, water amounts of samples were changing in a wide range of 34.07-55.92 %, whereas the average pH values of the samples was 5.91±0.36. Cholesterol contents of the samples were low and changing among 7.54-14.79 mg/100 g. Average fat and protein amounts of samples were 25.43±1.7 (%), and 22.81±5.62 (%) respectively, and 30.31±1.15 (%) of the fat fraction was composed of unsaturated fatty acids. Main organic acids determined in samples were citric, lactic and propionic acids. Also, hardness, chewiness, adhesiveness, cohesiveness and gumminess scores of thesamples were determined by TPA analysis and Hunter color scores were evaluated.

Label-free, optical sensing of the supramolecular assembly into fibrils of a ditryptophan–DNA hybrid (2014)

The grafting of a short nucleic acid strand to ditryptophan dipeptide (WW) results in a peptide-DNA hybrid, which assembles into fibrils under controlled aggregation conditions as evidenced by label free optical sensing owing to the intrinsic fluorescence of the dipeptide.
Características y aplicaciones de la goma guar (2005)

Guar gum is a neutral mucilage obtained of the ground endosperm of seeds of Cyamopsis tetragonolobus (L.) Taub. (Leguminosae). Guar gum is a galactomannane polysaccharide with a molecular weight between 220.000 ′ 10% Daltons. There are between 1.8 - 2 mannose residues for every galactose residue. It is used in numerous food and non-food applications, such as textile, pharmaceutical, paper, oil well drilling, explosive and chemical industry. This gum has become increasingly common in food, as it plays an important role in processing stages and final presentation of the product. It is used in soups, desserts, salad dressings, deep frozen food, beverages, soft cheese, yoghurt, instant mixes, bakery products, confectionery, canned foods and baby foods, where it acts as emulsifier, stabiliser suspending agent, thickener and mouth feel improver. In addition it has important therapeutic applications in the treatment of DM-NID, obesity, hypercholesterolemia, gastritis, gastroduodenal ulcer and constipation.
Simulating L3 caches in real time using hardware accelerated cache simulation (HACS): a case study with SPECint 2000 (2003)

Trace-driven simulation is a commonly used tool to evaluate memory-hierarchy designs. Unfortunately, trace collection is very expensive, and storage requirements for traces are very large. In this paper, we introduce HACS (Hardware Accelerated Cache Simulator), and describe the validation methods we used to demonstrate functionality. We also present some initial cache simulation results from SPECint 2000. We then propose future directions for research with HACS.
Noise Properties in the Ideal Kirchhoff-Law-Johnson-Noise Secure Communication System (2014)

In this paper we determine the noise properties needed for unconditional security for the ideal Kirchhoff-Law-Johnson-Noise (KLJN) secure key distribution system using simple statistical analysis. It has already been shown using physical laws that resistors and Johnson-like noise sources provide unconditional security. However real implementations use artificial noise generators, therefore it is a question if other kind of noise sources and resistor values could be used as well. We answer this question and in the same time we provide a theoretical basis to analyze real systems as well.
Transcription of the Human β Enolase Gene (<i>ENO-3</i>) Is Regulated by an Intronic Muscle-Specific Enhancer That Binds Myocyte-Specific Enhancer Factor 2 Proteins and Ubiquitous G-Rich-Box Binding Factors (1995)

To provide evidence for the cis-regulatory DNA sequences and trans-acting factors involved in the complex pattern of tissue- and stage-specific expression of the beta enolase gene, constructs containing fragments of the gene fused to the chloramphenicol acetyltransferase gene were used in transient-transfection assays of C2C12 myogenic cells. Deletion analysis revealed the presence of four major regions: two negative regions in the 5'-flanking sequence, a basal promoter region which directs expression at low levels in proliferating and differentiated muscle cells, and a positive region within the first intron that confers cell-type-specific and differentiation-induced expression. This positive regulatory element is located in the 3'-proximal portion of the first intron (nucleotides +504 to +637) and acts as an enhancer irrespective of orientation and position from the homologous beta enolase promoter or the heterologous thymidine kinase promoter, conferring in both cases muscle-specific expression to the linked reporter gene. Deletion of a putative myocyte-specific enhancer factor 1 (MEF-1) binding site, containing a canonical E-box motif, had no effects on muscle-specific transcription, indicating that this site is not required for the activity of the enhancer. Gel mobility shift assays, competition analysis, DNase I footprinting, and mutagenesis studies indicated that this element interacts through an A/T-rich box with a MEF-2 protein(s) and through a G-rich box with a novel ubiquitous factor(s). Mutation of either the G-rich box or the A/T-rich box resulted in a significantly reduced activity of the enhancer in transient-transfection assays. These data indicate that MEF-2 and G-rich-box binding factors are each necessary for tissue-specific expression of the beta enolase gene in skeletal muscle cells.
Open set text-independent speaker recognition based on set-score pattern classification (2003)

We propose a two-stage recognition schema for open set text-independent speaker recognition tasks. First we try to find a best matched model (which gets the best score) for the unknown speaker like many other systems. But then unlike other classical threshold selecting methods that make decisions based on the best score, we use the scores over a reference speakers set as a whole (called the set-score pattern): a binary classifier (e.g., an SVM) is then built to recognize acceptable and rejectable patterns. The results show that the set-score pattern classification method gives reasonably good performance. An obvious improvement has been seen compared to simple threshold selecting methods. And the painful procedure to choose a good threshold can be avoided too.
Development of graphite-polymer composites as electrode materials (2007)

Graphite powder was mixed to polyurethane, silicon rubber and Araldite® (epoxy) in order to prepare composite materials to be used in the preparation of electrodes. Results showed that voltammetric response could be obtained when at least 50% of graphite (w.w-1) is present in the material. SEM and thermogravimetry were also used in the characterization of the composites.
Venting Device for Sodium-Cooled Fast Reactor Ceramic Fuel Elements (1973)

Out-of-reactor feasibility studies of hydrostatic-type venting devices for individual fast reactor fuel pins have been made. The following features were common to all of the devices tested: 1. absence of moving parts2. independence of capillarity effects3. compactness4. small effect on coolant pressure drop5. standard materials and techniques of fabrication6. inherent safety.The tests, run between June 1968 and May 1969, verified that the preferred double capillary tube venting device, named DISCA, operated as designed under both steady-state and transient conditions. In-reactor tests of this and other venting devices are in progress.
Comparative in vitro activity of WIN 57273, a new fluoroquinolone antimicrobial agent (1990)

The in vitro activity of WIN 57273, a new fluoroquinolone antimicrobial agent, was evaluated against approximately 600 bacterial isolates. The new drug was 4- to 128-fold more active than ciprofloxacin against a broad range of gram-positive organisms, with the new drug inhibiting 90% of strains of each species except Enterococcus faecium at concentrations of less than or equal to 0.25 microgram/ml. WIN 57273 was four- to eightfold less active than ciprofloxacin against many members of the family Enterobacteriaceae, but the MICs of the new drug for 90% of strains tested (MIC90s) were less than or equal to 8 micrograms/ml (range, 0.25 to 8 micrograms/ml) for all species. Branhamella catarrhalis, Haemophilus influenzae, Neisseria gonorrhoeae, and Legionella spp. were highly susceptible (MIC90s, less than or equal to 0.06 microgram/ml). WIN 57273 demonstrated excellent activity against anaerobes (MIC90s, less than or equal to 0.25 microgram/ml), and the drug was also more active than ciprofloxacin against 30 strains of Mycobacterium avium-M. intracellulare (MIC, 0.1 to 1.0 microgram/ml). The activity of WIN 57273 against gram-positive organisms was minimally affected by pH and increased at low pH (5.4) against gram-negative organisms. The bactericidal activity of WIN 57273 was demonstrated by time-kill techniques against selected organisms. The frequencies of spontaneous resistance to the new agent were low, but resistant colonies could be selected after serial passage of initially susceptible organisms through incremental concentrations of the drug.

Determination of degree of crosslinking in natural rubber vulcanizates. Part II (1956)

Abstract Natural rubber vulcanizates have been prepared by a method permitting determinations by chemical analysis of the number of crosslinking introduced. The crosslinking agent was di‐ tert ‐butyl peroxide, and the peroxide and its decomposition products– tert ‐butanol, acetone, methane, and ethane—were determined by infrared spectroscopic and manometric methods. tert ‐Butanol and methane result from the abstraction of α‐methylenic hydrogen atoms from the rubber hydrocarbon by means of tert ‐butoxy and methyl radicals, respectively. On the assumption that the resultant rubber hydrocarbon radicals undergo exclusive mutual combination a chemical evaluation of degree of crosslinking, 1/2 M c , is given by ½(moles of tert ‐butanol + moles of methane), where M c is the average molecular weight between crosslinks. Physical values of 1/2 M c for rubber of infinite initial molecular weight have been obtained by determining the volume fraction of swollen rubber, v r ‐, in n ‐decane, and by using the method described in Part I for correcting for the finite initial molecular weight of the rubber. A comparison of the physical and chemical values of 1/2 M c indicates that the former is greater than the latter for all degrees of crosslinking, the major divergence being accounted for by an additive term which is pictorially visualized as due to entanglements.
The Tectonic Framework of Assam (1964)

Abstract A spur of ancient rocks partly covered by gently-dipping Tertiary beds extends from the Shillong Plateau and Mikir Hills north-eastwards beneath the alluvium of Upper Assam. Over this spur the Eastern Himalaya have been thrust southwards and the Naga Hills have been thrust north-westwards. The amount of movement of the overthrust masses cannot be determined but it is suggested that in each case the total displacement may be 150-300 kilometres or even more. The Shillong Plateau is separated from the Surma Valley by a faulted monocline with southerly dips. This fault, the Dauki tear-fault, is now shown to have a probable horizontal displacement of about 250 kilometres, and thus to be a major feature of the tectonic pattern of the Indian sub-continent. The horizontal movement along the Dauki tear-fault detached the Shillong Plateau from the main mass of the Indian Shield. The principal movements occurred late in the Tertiary, mostly in the Pliocene.
