Objective: To study the effects of diet amount on body weight,plasma glucose,plasma lipids and anti-oxidation in mice.Methods: Four groups(A,B,C,D)of mice were fed respectively with sufficient food(6.0g/d,per mouse),the just right amount food(4.0g/d,per mouse),lower amount food(3.34g/d,per mouse),significant lower amount food(1.8g/d,per mouse).35 days later the weight,the plasma TC,TG,G,MDA and protein were determined,while the activities of plasma SOD and GSH-Px were measured,too.Results: The body weight of group A was significantly higher than that of the group B,C and D(P0.01),the body weight of group D was lower than that of the group B and C(P0.01,P0.05);the activity of plasma SOD of the group B and C was higher than that of group D(P0.05),however the level of plasma MDA was lower than that of the group D(P0.05);The level of plasma protein of the group D was higher than that of the group A(P0.05).Conclusion: Limit to a food amount can decrease body weight,an appropriate amount of food can enhance the action of anti-oxidation.
THE DISTRIBUTION OF MUSCULAR WEAKNESS IN UPPER MOTOR NEURON LESIONS AFFECTING THE ARM (1989)

The strength of 12 muscle groups of the arm was measured to determine the distribution of upper motor neuron weakness in man. Three groups of subjects were studied: 14 intact volunteers (both sides recorded), 10 patients with unilateral arm paresis (both sides recorded) and 6 patients with severe paralysis of the arm (the 'intact' arm only measured). On the side contralateral to the causative lesion the pattern of weakness was not the same in all patients. Shoulder muscles were relatively spared while the wrist and finger flexors were relatively severely affected, the difference being statistically significant. In hemiparetic and hemiplegic patients the strength of muscles ipsilateral to the lesion was reduced compared with normal controls. These observations refine previous clinical descriptions of upper motor neuron weakness and have implications for its pathophysiology.
Experimental Pain in Human Temporal Muscle Induced by Hypertonic Saline, Potassium and Acidity (1992)

The study was aimed at developing a reference model for experimental pain and tenderness in the human temporal muscle by the local injection of hypertonic saline, potassium chloride and acidic phosphate buffer, using isotonic saline as control. The design was randomized and double-blind. Twenty healthy subjects had 0.2 ml test solution injected into one temporal muscle and saline into the other. Following each injection, pain was rated on a 10-point ordinal scale and pressure-pain thresholds were measured every minute for 10 min by a pressure algometer. Hypertonic saline ( n = 11) and potassium chloride ( n = 12) induced significantly more pain than isotonic saline ( ANOVA, p < 0.0001). Compared to control injections, hypertonic saline and potassium chloride induced a significant reduction in pressure-pain threshold (ANOVA, p < 0.0001 and p < 0.05). Forty-eight percent of the injections led to the referral of pain most often to the jaws. A positive correlation between the relative occurrence of referred pain and pain intensity was observed ( p < 0.001) as was a negative correlation between the decrease in pressure-pain threshold and pain intensity ( p < 0.05).
Detecting Phone Theft Using Machine Learning (2018)

Millions of smartphones are stolen in the United States every year, putting victims' personal information at risk since many users often do not lock their phones. To protect individuals' smartphones and the private data stored on them, we developed a system that automatically detects pickpocket and grab-and-run theft, in which a thief grabs the phone from a victim's hand then runs away. Our system applies machine learning to smartphone accelerometer data in order to detect possible theft incidents. Based on a field study and simulated theft scenarios, we are able to detect all thefts at a cost of 1 false alarm per week. Given that many smartphone users refuse to enable screen locking mechanisms over complaints that it takes too long to unlock their devices, our system could be used in conjunction with these systems in order to drastically decrease the number of times a user is asked to provide a lock code. That is, our system could be used to prompt smartphone users for PINs or passcodes only when theft events have been detected.
Adaptive home heating control through Gaussian process prediction and mathematical programming (2011)

In this paper, we address the challenge of adaptively controlling a home heating system in order to minimise cost and carbon emissions within a smart grid. Our home energy management agent learns the thermal properties of the home, and uses Gaussian processes to predict the environmental parameters over the next 24 hours, allowing it to provide real time feedback to householders concerning the cost and carbon emissions of their heating preferences. Furthermore, we show how it can then use a mixed-integer quadratic program, or a computationally efficient greedy heuristic, to adapt to real-time cost and carbon intensity signals, adjusting the timing of heater use in order to satisfy preferences for comfort whilst minimising cost and carbon emissions. We evaluate our approach using weather and electricity grid data from January 2010 for the UK, and show our approach can predict the total cost and carbon emissions over a day to within 9%, and show that over the month it reduces cost and carbon emissions by 15%, and 9%, respectively, compared to using a conventional thermostat.
Modeling the partial oxidation of methane in a short‐contact‐time reactor (1998)

Abstract Partial oxidation of methane in monolithic catalysts at very short contact times offers a promising route to convert natural gas into syngas (H 2 and CO), which can then be converted to higher alkanes or methanol. Detailed modeling is needed to understand their complex interaction of transport and kinetics in these systems and for their industrial application. In this work, the partial oxidation of methane in noble‐metal (Rh and Pt)‐coated monoliths was studied numerically as an example of short‐contact‐time reactor modeling. A tube wall catalytic reactor was simulated as a model for a single pore of the monolithic catalyst using a 2‐D flow field description coupled with detailed reaction mechanisms for surface and gas‐phase chemistry. The catalytic surface coverages of adsorbed species are calculated vs. position. The reactor is characterized by competition between complete and partial oxidation of methane. At atmospheric pressure, CO 2 and H 2 O are formed on the catalytic surface at the entrance of the catalytic reactor. At higher pressure, gas‐phase chemistry becomes important, forming more complete oxidation products downstream and decreasing syngas selectivity by about 2% at 10 bar. Temperature (from 300 to ∼ 1,200 K), velocity, and transport coefficients change very rapidly at the catalyst entrance. The dependence of conversion and selectivity on reactor conditions was examined.
The Enigma of CDMA Revisited (2010)

In this paper, we explore the mystery of synchronous CDMA as applied to wireless and optical communication systems under very general settings for the user symbols and the signature matrix entries. The channel is modeled with real/complex additive noise of arbitrary distribution. Two problems are addressed. The first problem concerns whether overloaded error free codes exist in the absence of additive noise under these general settings, and if so whether there are any practical optimum decoding algorithms. The second one is about the bounds for the sum channel capacity when user data and signature codes employ any real or complex alphabets (finite or infinite). In response to the first problem, we have developed practical Maximum Likelihood (ML) decoding algorithms for overloaded CDMA systems for a large class of alphabets. In response to the second problem, a general theorem has been developed in which the sum capacity lower bounds with respect to the number of users and spreading gain and Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) can be derived as special cases for a given CDMA system. To show the power and utility of the main theorem, a number of sum capacity bounds for special cases are simulated. An important conclusion of this paper is that the lower and upper bounds of the sum capacity for small/medium size CDMA systems depend on both the input and the signature symbols; this is contrary to the asymptotic results for large scale systems reported in the literature (also confirmed in this paper) where the signature symbols and statistics disappear in the asymptotic sum capacity. Moreover, these questions are investigated for the case when not all users are active. Furthermore, upper and asymptotic bounds are derived and numerically evaluated and compared to other derivations.

Geologic constraints and geochemical and isotopic data confirm that this dolomite is not the result of marine influence or wind-blown dust. The strontium isotopic composition of the dolomite (87Sr/87Sr = 0.7045–0.7048) is indicative of its derivation primarily from the weathering of basaltic parent material rather than from meteoric water or seawater. Infiltration of soil waters with elevated Mg/Ca (>1) derived from alteration of ferromagnesian minerals such as olivine likely led to dolomitization of early-precipitated soil calcite and/or to direct dolomite precipitation in the profile. This demonstrates that well-ordered dolomite can form in a nonmarine environment at temperatures <100 °C without undergoing burial diagenesis.

조선신궁에서의 신명조 양식 채택에 관한 연구 (2016)

The purpose of this study is to clarify the reason of the adoption of sinmeizukuri-style in the Joseon Shrine, to review the debates and impact, and to examine the meaning of the Joseon Shrine during the Japanese colonial period. The Japanese colonial power intended to project and reveal their uniqueness and the intention of the authorities with the sinmeizukuri-style of the Joseon Shrine. However, the sinmeizukuri-style Joseon Shrine was criticized by Korean people and even the Japanese because the style, which has the origin on the architecture in the tropics, was not suitable to the cold region like Korea and aroused the hostility among Koreans.
A Successful Promotional Campaign (2007)

SUMMARY Electronic resources are one of the last collections in a public library to receive attention for usage and for promotions. Oftentimes their statistics go unnoticed as well. An effort is needed to consciously study, track, and evaluate the usage of these resources. Then a library can focus on educating the staff and patrons regarding the existence and use of these resources. This paper details the steps involved in initiating, conducting, and financing a marketing campaign for education and promotion of electronic resources for a public library.
Mothering in Context:Ecological Determinants of Parent Behavior (1999)

How characteristics of parents, children, and the family context relate to mothers' parenting were explored in a sample of 73 mothers and their 5- to 7-year-old children. Maternal authoritativeness was significantly correlated with retrospective attachment security, social support, marital satisfaction, prosocial child behavior, and socioeconomic status. Allhough these constructs were interrelated, concurrently- assessed parent, child, and contextual-level variables also had unique and significant relations with parenting. Mothers who experienced many stressors stemming from their personal adjustment, social relationships, and children's behaviors were more likely to demonstrate insensitivity during parent-child interactions than participants reporting fewer stressors. Mediated pathways among these theorized predictors of parenting were explored, and findings were generally consistent with Belsky's (1984) process model of parenting.
Preparation of Single Crystalline V6O13 Nanobelts (2005)

Ultralong beltlike nanostructures was successfully synthesized for V6O13 crystal by a hydrothermal route. The products are characterized by means of X-ray powder diffraction, transmission electron microscopy and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy. The experimental results give the evidence that the V6O13 nanobelts are pure, structurally uniform and single crystalline, with typical widths of 50 to 300 nm and lengths of up to a few millimeters.
Summary and conclusions (2005)

Abstract This final chapter wraps up the main conclusions of the book: the origin of the to-infinitive and its reanalysis as a non-finite subjunctive clause, and its rise and spread at the expense of the finite subjunctive clause. It also reflects on wider issues to do with the interpretation of historical linguistic data, especially the absence of certain constructions (the problem of ‘negative evidence’) and how we can make the most of the data we have. The key to these problems is not to look at syntactic constructions in isolation, but to focus on their function in the language. This means that historical linguists sometimes have to cast their nets wide and look at other fields — discourse, theories of textual cohesion, translation studies, and pragmatics — in order to find the answers to syntactic problems.

Trading on‐line: Information flows in advanced capitalism (1993)

Abstract A range of social theorists have argued that technological changes in microelectronics have given rise to a new kind of post industrial or information society. This article analyzes the role of international flows of computerized information in the global economy as a way to evaluate debates about the nature of contemporary society. Two kinds of flows that offer distinct advantages to transnational corporations as their major users are identified. Corporate flows between branches of the same firm facilitate existing business activities. Commercial flows sold from one firm to another comprise a new form of trade in digital commodities, produced and exchanged according to the logic of the market. Rather than introducing a qualitatively different type of information society, microelectronics technologies have made it possible to extend the process of commodification into digital forms of production and exchange.

Ring Strain Energies from ab Initio Calculations (1998)

A new approach employing ab initio calculations is suggested for evaluating the strain energy of ring molecules as well as for estimating the relative contribution of different sources of strain to the ring strain energy. The approach developed is calibrated by reproducing experimentally determined strain energies of mono- and bicyclohydrocarbons, cyclic ethers, and amines. It is then used to predict ring strain energies of cyclic phosphoesters, hydrogen fluoride cyclic clusters, and magnesium dialdehyde cyclic chelates. The usefulness of the method is demonstrated in disclosing the role of ring strain in the enhanced reactivity of a five-membered cyclic phosphate relative to its acyclic analogue and six-membered ring counterpart.
Ultraviolet Light-Induced Hydrophilicity Effect on TiO<sub>2</sub>(110)(1×1). Dominant Role of the Photooxidation of Adsorbed Hydrocarbons Causing Wetting by Water Droplets (2005)

The UV photoproduction of a hydrophilic TiO(2)(110)(1x1) surface has been investigated in a pressurized ultrahigh vacuum apparatus under controlled conditions of hydrocarbon concentration in oxygen gas at 1 atm pressure. Water droplet contact angles have been measured continuously as the droplet is exposed to UV irradiation, yielding the first observations of a sudden wetting process during irradiation. Using hexane as a model hydrocarbon, it is found that when low partial pressures of hexane are present, the sudden onset of surface wetting occurs during UV irradiation after an induction period under photooxidation conditions. The induction period to reach the critical condition for sudden wetting increases when the partial pressure (and equilibrium surface coverage) of hexane is increased. These results indicate that the removal of adsorbed hydrocarbons by photooxidation is the critical factor leading to the UV-induced hydrophilicity phenomenon on TiO(2). The phenomenon does not occur in the absence of O(2) gas. A concept concerned with kinetic screening of the TiO(2)-H(2)O interface from O(2) by water droplets is presented to explain the observation of sudden wetting in our experiments, compared to gradual wetting which is observed following UV irradiation in all other experiments reported in the literature. Complementary infrared spectroscopy measurements of the effect of UV irradiation in an O(2) atmosphere on adsorbed Ti-OH groups and on adsorbed H(2)O on the surface of a high-area TiO(2) powder show that no spectroscopic changes occur. This indicates that UV-induced changes in the -OH coverage or the nature of -OH bonding to TiO(2), as suggested by others, cannot be used to explain the photoinduced hydrophilicity effect.
Determination of the Phytic Acid and Sinapic Acid Esters in Seeds of Rapeseed and Selection of Genotypes with Reduced Concentrations of these Compounds (1991)

Abstract A photometric procedure is described which allows the fast determination of the concentrations of sinapic acid esters and phytic acid in seeds of rape. The method is based on the yellow colour of the esters in alkaline media and the weakening of the intensity of the red coloured Fe‐sulfosalicylic acid complex in the presence of phytic acid. By means of biogenetic pathways locations of genetic blocks are discussed which can be expected or which are desired in breeding materials.
Are the galactic bulga and bar the same (1997)

An overview is given of the results obtained about Galactic Structure studies towards the Galactic Centre from star counts. The results indicate the presence of an old, metal-rich population (Z=0.005-0.08; t=13-15 Gyr), presumably the old Galactic Bulge. In addition, a younger, less metal-rich population was found (Z=0.005-0.03}; t=8-9 Gyr), likely related to the tri-axial bar found in other studies. In Baade's Window a ratio bulge/bar stars of approximately 1/2 was obtained from star counts.
