THE EFFECT OF RESISTANCE EXERCISE ON ADRENAL HORMONE AND LYMPHOKINE PLASMA CONCENTRATIONS 1141 (1996)

The present study was undertaken to investigate the differences between two acute resistance exercise protocols on plasma concentrations of proenkephalin peptide F (PF) and Epinephrine (Epi) from the adrenal medulla and Interferon-gamma (IG) and Interleukin-2 (IL-2) from activated T-lymphocytes. Ten healthy, highly strength-trained men ([horizontal bar over]x±SE, 21.7±0.58y) randomly performed a high force (HF; 10 RM) and high power(HP; 15 RM) resistance exercise protocol of equal total work separated by 1 wk. For HF and HP, four sets each of the squat, bent over row, bench and military press with 2 min rest periods were performed on a computerized Smith machine. Total power output was significantly (p≤0.05) higher during HP(52034.34±4044.94W) vs. HF (40653.20±5415.64W). HF lifted significantly heavier resistances. Blood samples were obtained pre-exercise and 0 (R-0), 15 (R-15), and 240 (R-240) min into recovery. HF produced significantly higher plasma lactate concentrations at R-0 and R-15. Plasma IL-2 and IG decreased significantly at R-15 during HF and at R-0 during HP, respectively. Peptide F levels significantly decreased at R-0 and increased significantly by 80% at R-240 for HF and HP. Only HF showed a significant elevation in PF at R-15. Epi increased significantly at R-0 during both protocols and decreased significantly to resting levels by R-15 for HF and R-240 for HP. The molar ratio of Epi:PF decreased significantly at R-0 and increased significantly at R-240 for HF and HP suggesting that Epi and PF exhibit a noncolinear pattern of release. These results indicate that the power or force output of a resistance exercise workout can differentially affect circulating adrenal medullary, lactate, and lymphokine response patterns. These changes may affect recovery patterns of the neuroendocrine-immune and musculoskeletal systems.
Laser Beam Induced Electron Emission (1963)

The emission of electrons by laser beam targets was investigated. A ruby laser was used with a carbon target while carbon and tungsten targets were used with a neodymium laser. The results indicate that the emission arises from the extremely rapid heating of the focus spot to very high temperature and that very high-current-density electron pulses of extremely short pulse width can be produced in this manner. (D.C.W.) ergy to preferentially excite higher levels or ionize the helium atom. (C.E.S.)
Population Densities of<i>Phytophthora capsici</i>in Field Soils in Relation to Drip Irrigation, Rainfall, and Disease Incidence (1992)

Population dynamics of Phytophthora capsici were monitored in artificially infested plots in fields planted with bell peppers (Capsicum annuum). Plots were drip-irrigated on either a more frequent (three times per week) or a less frequent (one or two times after infestation) schedule and were infested with one of three levels of inoculum or left uninfested. Pathogen population densities increased and then decreased over time in each field. In a field with moderate rainfall, plots had population densities of 0, 5, 18, and 41 cfu/g of dry soil at the time of infestation (.)
<title>Sonde Optique A Etages Pour La Detection Des Ecailles Enregistrement Par Fibre Optique Et Camera Electronique A Fente</title> (1979)

The method of hydrodynamic diagnostic discribed in the other communication we present at this congress, which uses a shock - ionized probe, a fiber optic transmission and a streak electronic camera recorder allows us to design new devices with multi-effects. We describ e an optical probe composed of ten small 0.2 mm thick spaces separated from one another by transparent glass plates 1.5 mm thick. The sweep record shows series of short flashes following exactly the moving and the pressure level of the front shock wave in the probe. The experience we are to present, shows some of the avantages of using this kind of diagnostic. The results wich are obtained with the lead plate striking the probes at a 2.5 mm//us speed show successives shocks in these multi-stages optical probes. An X-Ray experience made in the same conditions make clear that this hapvensbecause of a monaspall detached from the main plate 2 mm ahead and producing a previous shock before the main one. This method does not pretend to measure the speed of the scale, its thickness ... etc, therefore we are only looking for an accident during the target moving or not. Notice the reduced dimensions of this king of probe, the diameter of which is 4 mm, the length 20 mm and there is very easy to set up.
[The inferior epigastric artery. Short-term and one-year patency]. (1997)

The authors analyse the advantages and disadvantages of revascularization of the myocardium via the arteria epigastrica inferior. They submit short-term and one-year results in a group of 18 patients operated in 1992-1995. The short-term patency of the arteria epigastrica inferior was in the investigated group 87.5% and the one-year patency 83.3%. The limiting factor of this graft are technical problems associated with the establishment of the central anastomosis. The authors assume that the epigastric artery has its place in coronary surgery, although at present it is used mostly as a an alternative graft, mainly for the recascularization of less important coronary vessels.
Experiences in sewerage development and management in Malaysia. (1983)

There has been a general lack of awareness amongst members of the public as well as goverment to the importance of sewerage development and management. Sewerage problems has in advertently been hidden from public knowledge in the past. This resulted in difficulty in securing sufficient government development funds for sewerage projects. Local authorities are facing a similar problems of shortage of funds and trained manpower to manage existing sewerage systems. However there is now an active effort by engineers in Malaysia to bring sewerage issues to surface. A national policy and strategy for sewerage development and management is currently being discussed.

Enhancement of hematopoietic response of mice by subcutaneous administration of Lactobacillus casei (1986)

Mice that had received heat-killed Lactobacillus casei (LC 9018) subcutaneously (s.c.) showed enhanced resistance to systemic (i.e., intravenous) infection with Listeria monocytogenes, but the antilisterial resistance of mice was less augmented by s.c. administration of Propionibacterium acnes ("Corynebacterium parvum"). Though there was little change in the total number of splenic leukocytes after s.c. administration of LC 9018, the monocyte-macrophage ratio increased after treatment, reaching its peak on day 5 to 7 after injection. The number of progenitor cells that form macrophage colonies under the stimulus of L-cell-conditioned medium in a semisolid agar culture system increased in the spleens of mice pretreated s.c. with LC 9018, showing a peak response on day 5 after injection. The increase corresponded to the increase in the dose administered, and increased numbers were detected even 10 days after treatment. The number of macrophage colonies in the femurs of mice pretreated s.c. with LC 9018 showed a temporary increase on day 3 after injection but then a decrease until day 10. Colony-stimulating activity was detected in the sera of mice administered LC 9018 s.c. 18 h previously, and the colonies produced were of three types: granulocyte (8%), macrophage (56%), and granulocyte-macrophage (36%). Administration of C. parvum s.c. had little effect on these hematopoietic responses of mice.

The effects of duration and frequency on the perception of vibrotactile stimulation on the neck (2016)

The aim of this current study is to determine whether the neck is a viable location to receive tactile directional information to substitute a vestibular loss. While wearing a vibrotactile neck device with 14 motors equally positioned around the neck, participants were asked to detect the exact location of the delivered stimulus delivered. The results show that the front of the neck may not be as sensitive as the remaining areas, and that the frequency and duration of vibrotactile stimulation do not significantly impact performance. Although participants could not accurately identify the exact points of neck stimulation, they were able to accurately identify the area nearby (one motor to the left or the right of the exact stimulus location).
Fuzzy Logic Traction Controllers and their Effect on Longitudinal Vehicle Platoon Systems (1996)

This paper presents fuzzy logic traction controllers and their effect on longitudinal vehicle platoon systems. A fuzzy logic approach is appealing for traction control because of the non-linearities and time-varying uncertainties in traction control systems. One fuzzy controller estimates the "peak slip" corresponding to the maximum tire-road adhesion coefficient and regulates wheel slip at that value. The other fuzzy logic controller regulates wheel slip at any desired value. The controllers' performance and robustness against changing road conditions and time- varying uncertainty is evaluated by simulation. The effect of traction control on longitudinal vehicle platoon systems is studied by simulation also.
Antibodies to the <i>Plasmodium falciparum</i> rhoptry protein RAP‐2/RSP‐2 in relation to anaemia in Cameroonian children (2010)

Previous studies have implicated reactive antibodies to the low molecular weight rhoptry-associated proteins (RAP-1, RAP-2/RSP-2 and RAP-3) in erythroid cell destruction during Plasmodium falciparum infection. In this pilot study, the frequency, specificity and functional capacity of naturally acquired anti-RAP-2/RSP-2 antibodies were investigated in the sera of anaemic and nonanaemic malaria-infected Cameroonian children. All sera recognized RAP-2/RSP-2 by FACS, irrespective of the clinical status of the subjects. However, the anaemic children showed higher levels of IgG antibodies than the nonanaemic group, while both groups showed similar levels of IgM antibodies. Only few individuals had detectable levels of RAP-2/RSP-2-specific IgG1 and IgG3 subclass antibodies, while no IgG2 and IgG4 subclass antibodies were detected in these subjects. By ELISA, the anaemic group tended to show higher levels of antibodies to RAP-2/RSP-2 regarding all antibody classes tested, except for IgG4 and IgE. Unexpectedly, sera from the nonanaemic group activated complement to a greater extent than those from the anaemic group. These results need to be confirmed in extended studies but indicate that the effector functions of the RAP-2/RSP-2-reactive antibodies may be more important than their amounts. Such antibodies could play a role in both immunity and pathogenesis during P. falciparum infection.
Biological performance of two materials based on sulfated hyaluronic acid and polyurethane (1999)

Polyurethane bound with sulfated hyaluronic acid was synthesized by two different chemical routes. Both the materials obtained consist of a hydrophilic component, sulfated hyaluronic acid (HyalS 3.5 ), and a hydrophobic component, polyurethane (PU). In the material named Puhmdi, the HyalS 3.5 was cross-linked to the PU chains via hexamethylene diisocyanate (HMDI) while in that named Pubrac, the binding of HyalS 3.5 to the PU chains occurred only through a few carboxy groups viaN,N′-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (DCC) and bromoacetic acid.The surface characteristics of the polymers were investigated by ATR FT-IR spectroscopy while the surface morphology was analyzed by scanning electron microscopy.There was a significant difference between the surface characteristics of the films in dry and hydrated environments. In both materials the hydrophilic component (HyalS 3.5 ) migrates from the bulk to the surface, thus minimizing the surface free energy of the polymer when exposed to the hydrated environment. The different biological behavior of the two materials was demonstrated with the thrombin time test and platelet adhesion test. Pubrac inhibits the coagulation process while Puhmdi does not.
Whose turn is it anyway? Same- and cross-person compound contributions in dialogue (2012)

In natural conversation people sometimes build larger grammatical, semantic and pragmatic units out of multiple turns or installments.The incremental and collaborative character of these 'compound contributions' presents challenges for theories of natural language processing.Compounds produced over successive turns by one person have often been analysed in essentially the same way as compounds produced by multiple people.In some recent accounts this putative equivalence has been taken as evidence for the claim that within-and cross-person language processing are fundamentally interchangeable.However, in this paper we present an analysis of compound contributions in a corpus of ordinary dialogues which shows that same-and crossperson compound contributions are constructed in different ways and have different semantic and pragmatic effects on the organisation of dialogue.In particular, we show that they differ in the pragmatic environments in which they occur and that they have different consequences for subsequent turn-taking and interpretation.This asymmetry highlights the need for models of dialogue that account for not just the inherent incrementality of dialogue, but the different status of each contributor towards a turn-in-progress.
Biosynthesis of terpenoids: 4-Diphosphocytidyl-2C-methyl- <scp>d</scp> -erythritol synthase of <i>Arabidopsis thaliana</i> (2000)

A hypothetical gene with similarity to the ispD gene of Escherichia coli was cloned from Arabidopsis thaliana cDNA. The ORF of 909 bp specifies a protein of 302 amino acid residues. The cognate chromosomal gene consists of 2,071 bp and comprises 11 introns with a size range of 78-202 bp. A fragment comprising amino acid residues 76-302 was expressed in a recombinant E. coli strain. The protein was purified to homogeneity and was shown to catalyze the formation of 4-diphosphocytidyl-2C-methyl-d-erythritol from 2C-methyl-d-erythritol 4-phosphate with a specific activity of 67 micromol small middle dotmin(-1) mg(-1). The Michaelis constants for 4-diphosphocytidyl-2C-methyl-d-erythritol and CTP were 500 microM and 114 microM, respectively.
Cyclotrons for Particle Therapy (2015)

In particle therapy with protons a cyclotron is one of the most used particle accelerators. Here it will be explained how a cyclotron works, some beam dynamics aspects, its major subsystems, as well as the advantages and disadvantages of a cyclotron for this application are discussed. The difference between the standard isochronous cyclotron and the synchrocyclotron is explained. New developments are presented and especially those which aim to reduce the size of the accelerator.
Machinability of Graphitic Silicon Carbide Aluminum Metal Matrix Composite GrA-Ni™ (1997)

Abstract Metal-Matrix Composites (MMC) are being developed for high wear resistance applications. A new MMC, a graphitic aluminum metal matrix composite consisting of an aluminum matrix reinforced with SiC particles and nickel-coated graphite particles, GrA-Ni™, has been developed by INCO Limited. The addition of nickel-coated graphite to SiC particulate reinforced aluminum plays a similar role to flake graphite in grey cast iron. However, like other MMCs, this composite is demanding in terms of requirements for cutting conditions and cutting tool materials. This paper assesses the machining data for this new composite, in regards to tool life, surface finish and cutting forces. The tests included milling, turning, and drilling conducted with carbide and diamond tools. The test results showed that GrA-Ni™ with 10 vol% SiC – 5 vol% Gr, is easier to machine than existing aluminum composites reinforced with SiC particles, such as 20 vol% SiC reinforced aluminum composite.
Spatio-temporal modulated polarimetry (2011)

Recently, a polarimetric data reduction technique has been developed that in the presence of a time varying signals and noise free measurement process can achieve an error free reconstruction provided that the signal was band limited. Error free reconstruction for such a signal is not possible using conventional data reduction methods. The new approach provides insight for processing arbitrary modulation schemes in space, time, and wavelength. Theory predicts that a polarimeter that employs a spatio-temporal modulation scheme may be able to use the high temporal resolution of a spatially modulated device combined with the high spatial resolution of a temporally modulated system to attain greater combined resolution capabilities than either modulation on scheme can produce alone. A polarimeter that contains both spatial and temporal modulation can be constructed (for example) by placing a rotating retarder in front of a micropolarizer array (microgrid). This study develops theory and analysis for the rotating retarder microgrid polarimeter to show how the available bandwidth for each channel is affected by additional dimensions of modulation and demonstrates a working polarimeter with a simulation of Stokes parameters that are band limited in both space and time with a noisy measurement process.

Genetic diversity in managed loblolly pine forests in the southeastern United States: perspective of the private industrial forest land owner (1997)

La conservation des ressources genetiques (vergers a graines, banques clonales, banques de semences et de pollen, etc.) qui a decoule des programmes d'amelioration genetique du pin a encens (Pinus taeda L.) a ete plus que suffisante pour prevenir les problemes dus a la perte d'alleles valables au sein des territoires ou la foresterie intensive est pratiquee. Une meilleure comprehension des pratiques de deploiement de l'industrie forestiere est necessaire afin de comprendre comment inter-agissent la diversite genetique presente dans les programmes d'amelioration genetique des arbres et la diversite presente au sein des plantations industrielles. Les experiences a ce jour ne laissent entrevoir aucun probleme evident relie a la diversite. Le defi consiste a poursuivre le developpement de pratiques securitaires pour la gestion des populations d'elevage et des populations de production. De plus grands efforts de conservation des ressources genetiques pourraient etre necessaires afin de pallier aux pertes de diversite genetique dans les regions ou les developpements residentiels et commerciaux menacent les forets locales. Afin d'evaluer les besoins et d'identifier les actions necessaires, les ressources genetiques existantes devraient etre cartographiees pour identifier les endroits ou ces dernieres sont menacees. Cet effort impliquera la cooperation de l'industrie, des universites, des agences gouvernementales et des autres interets prives. La diversite genetique, la conservation des ressources genetiques ainsi que l'impact des decisions qui affectent ces considerations sont des questions globales. Les decisions qui entrainent une diminution de production de matiere ligneuse dans un endroit signifient que cette derniere doit provenir d'ailleurs. Souvent, ce changement dans l'approvisionnement amene une augmentation des importations de bois et l'utilisation d'especes beaucoup moins protegees. Ces especes moins connues pourraient devenir des especes commerciales importantes dans le futur et, a cet egard, la conservation de leur ressources genetiques doit egalement etre envisagee. Les benefices decoulant d'investissements importants en amelioration genetique se font toujours attendre, dans le cas des nouvelles technologies que representent l'embryogenese, le clonage et l'ingenierie genetique. L'une des preoccupations majeures est de savoir si des restrictions injustifiees de deploiement affecteront un jour les produits genetiques de haute valeur mis au point grâce a ces technologies, en raison des preoccupations concernant la diversite genetique. L'experience passee et les etudes de diversite genetique faites a ce jour ne justifient certainement pas le besoin de restreindre l'utilisation des produits developpes a l'aide de ces technologies. Le defi des prochaines annees consistera a convaincre les intervenants externes au domaine de la genetique forestiere de l'inutilite de ces restrictions.
