THE ELIMINATION OF URIC ACID IN MAN. STUDIED BY MEANS OF C$sup 14$-LABELED URIC ACID (1960)

Studies were made of the total amount of uric acid in the human body and the turnover rate. Uric acid labeled with C/sup 14/ was used as a tracer. A comparison of the amount of uric acid turned over per day with the amount excreted in the urine made it clear that a considerable part of uric acid ie eliminated by some other route than through the kidney. Results are reported from studies on the extrarenal excretion of uric acid. (C.H.)
A convenient culture chamber for observation and embedding of macrophage monolayers for transmission electron microscopy (1982)

A chamber adapted from a polypropylene test tube is described for the cultivation and processing of undisturbed monolayers of normal mouse macrophages for transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Peritoneal exudate cells are grown in the chambers on Visking dialysis membranes pretreated with Polybrene (Sigma Chemical Co.) and normal mouse serum. The cells are not further disturbed after adherence since the entire chamber, including dialysis membrane and cells, is processed for electron microscopy using standard material and protocols and the embedded dialysis membrane is readily oriented and thin-sectioned. This method is efficient for studying adherent cells since growth can be nearly confluent and cells remain firmly attached throughout the manipulations. Since a transparent membrane is used, cells can also be observed with the light microscope at all stages prior to sectioning.
Bulk-phase chemistry induced by nanosecond discharge plasma in water (2017)

We have evaluated chemical activity of the nanosecond discharge in bulk liquid water by measuring the plasmachemical production of hydrogen peroxide and oxidation of phenol used as chemical probe of OH radicals. Nanosecond pulse generator was used as a source of high voltage pulses (6 ns FWHM) with adjustable amplitude of the positive polarity (60-110 kV) and pulse energy 50-150 mJ/pulse. Obtained results gave clear evidence about the plasmachemical production of OH radicals by nanosecond discharge in water.
Keyphrase Extraction for N-best Reranking in Multi-Sentence Compression (2013)

Multi-Sentence Compression (MSC) is the task of generating a short single sentence sum-mary from a cluster of related sentences. This paper presents an N-best reranking method based on keyphrase extraction. Compression candidates generated by a word graph-based MSC approach are reranked according to the number and relevance of keyphrases they con-tain. Both manual and automatic evaluations were performed using a dataset made of clus-ters of newswire sentences. Results show that the proposed method significantly improves the informativity of the generated compres-sions. 1
Identification of foals infected with Parascaris equorum apparently resistant to ivermectin (2003)

During September 2002, routine fecal examinations performed on 16 Thoroughbred foals residing on a farm outside Toronto, Ontario, Canada, revealed low to moderate numbers of Parascaris equorum eggs in feces from 9 of the 16. All foals were then treated with ivermectin at a dose of 220 to 280 microg/kg (100 to 127 microg/lb), p.o., and fecal egg counts were repeated 12 days later. Fecal P. equorum egg counts increased between the first and second fecal examination in 7 foals, were unchanged in 1, and decreased in 5. Fecal samples were collected 13 days after treatment from 21 additional foals that had been treated with ivermectin at the same dose, and P. equorum eggs were detected in 12 of the 21. For all 37 foals, high P. equorum egg counts (> or = 100 eggs/g of feces) 12 to 13 days after ivermectin treatment were significantly more likely in foals that had been regularly treated with ivermectin since birth and permanently resided on the farm, compared with foals that had been treated with other anthelmintics or had an unknown deworming history. Collectively, these data suggested that P. equorum in these foals was resistant to ivermectin administered at the recommended dose.

Effect of die shape on die tilt in die attach process (2013)

Die attach process is widely used to realize the connection between die, device and the rest of the system in electronic packaging. During this process, the die moves under the capillary force induced by the liquidus solder. Such a die tilt phenomenon usually occurs and strongly worsens the reliability and performances of devices. In this paper, we built a numerical model based on fluid minimal free energy theory for analyzing the die arrangement in die attach process. By this model, die arrangements of three kinds of die shapes in terms of square, square with round corner and circle were calculated. Results indicate that compared to the square, both square with round corner and circle benefit preventing the die tilt. Especially, the circle die can well keep the parallel die arrangement.
An Integrative Approach to Robust Hand Detection Using CPM-YOLOv3 and RGBD Camera in Real Time (2019)

Innovative methods to interact with electronic devices are attracting researchers attentions, and many applications of Human Computer Interaction have been developed in recent years. Hand detection under different illuminations and backgrounds is crucial for tasks such as, actions recognition, gestures recognition and hand-based interaction with wearable devices. Many existing methods are able to detect the human hand precisely, but the task still remains challenging due to environment complexity, different invariants, processing time, and accuracy. It is required for an application to recognize the human hand precisely for proper interaction with the wearable devices. This paper proposed a robust and a compact method for hand detection by employing you only look once (YOLO) and convolutional pos machines (CPM). This paper consists of two parts, network training and testing. In the first part, Oxford hand dataset is used to train a neural network. This dataset has various hand images under different invariants, and backgrounds. Afterwards, images are captured using a digital camera in real-time and then human hands are detected using a trained neural network. In addition, detected hands, positions and orientations are calculated accordance with defined active zone parameters and a depth sensor. Our trained neural network is dubbed as HHDNet, an abbreviation for human hand detection network. The HHDNet is tested under different environment conditions, and experimental results showed that the accuracy and the frame rate of the proposed model are superior than others state of the art methods.
Bevacizumab in the treatment of colorectal cancer (2007)

Colorectal cancer is a common disease with therapy that has a proven effectiveness in the adjuvant and metastatic setting. Bevacizumab, a vascular endothelial growth factor inhibitor, is an antiangiogenesis monoclonal antibody that has benefit in response rate and overall survival when used in combination with existing metastatic colorectal cancer regimens. It is well tolerated with a few important side effects to be cognizant of, including hypertension, arterial thrombosis and bowel perforation. Existing treatment and research strategies are examining its use in the adjuvant setting or in combination with other angiogenesis inhibitors.
An addressing independent networking structure favorable for all-optical packet switching (2007)

All-optical packet switching (AOPS) technology is essential to fully utilize the tremendous bandwidth provided by advanced optical communication techniques through forwarding packets in optical domain for the next generation network. However, long packet headers and other complex operations such as table lookup and packet header re-writing still have to be processed electronically for lack of cost-effective optical processing techniques. This not only increases system complexity but also limits packet forwarding speed due to optical-electronic-optical conversion. Lots of work of improving optical processing techniques to realize AOPS is reported in the literature. Differently, this paper proposes a new networking structure to facilitate AOPS realization and support various existing networks through simplifying networking operations. This structure only requires an AOPS node to process a short packet header to forward packets across it with neither table lookup nor header re-writing. Furthermore, it moves high layer addressing issues from packet forwarding mechanisms of routers. Consequently, any changes in addressing schemes such as address space extension do not require changes in the AOPS nodes. It can also support both connection-oriented and connectionless services to carry various types of traffic such as ATM and IP traffic. This structure is mainly based on the hierarchical source routing approach. The analytical results show that average packet header sizes are still acceptable even for long paths consisting of many nodes each of which has a large number of output ports.
Diastolic properties of the left ventricle in normal adults and in patients with third heart sounds. (1984)

To explore the pathogenesis of the third heart sound (S3), left ventricular hemodynamics in early diastole were studied during catheterization in normal adults without S3S (group I, n = 12) and in cardiac patients with S3S as the result of severe mitral regurgitation (group II, n = 11), dilated cardiomyopathy (group III, n = 24) or restricted left ventricular filling (group IV, n = 4). The height and steepness of the rise in left ventricular pressure after minimum diastolic pressure (the so-called rapid filling wave), maximum dV/dt, and the time constant of fall in isovolumetric pressure were measured. The completeness of relaxation was evaluated from the number of time constants elapsed at the time of minimum diastolic pressure. Pressure-volume data were fitted to simple elastic and viscoelastic models incorporating inflow rate into the equation. In all patients with S3S a significantly higher and steeper rapid filling wave was found than in normal adults. Maximum dV/dt was significantly greater in group II (1084.9 +/- 416 ml/sec; mean +/- SD) than in the other groups (463.9 +/- 177.1 ml/sec in group I, 448.8 +/- 134.0 ml/sec in group III, and 709.9 +/- 226.8 ml/sec in group IV). No significant differences in left ventricular chamber elastic properties in the different groups were found. However, intrapatient comparisons of the results of the use of elastic and viscoelastic equations revealed a significantly better curve fit (r = .930 vs .968, p less than .005) and a much higher viscous constant for group III. Similar results were found in group IV.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
Airport Apron Heated Pavement System Operations: Analysis of Energy Consumption, Greenhouse Gas Emissions, and Operating Costs (2016)

The primary goal of this study is to employ the life cycle assessment (LCA) methodology to evaluate and compare energy consumptions, GHG emissions, and costs from the operations of three different hydronic heated pavement systems (HHPS): hydronic heated pavement system using geothermal heat pump (HHPS-G), hydronic heated pavement system using electric water heater (HHPS-E), and hydronic heated pavement system using natural gas boiler (HHPS-NG). The system boundaries where the analysis is carried out are defined and established. The consequences of the inventory analysis and impact assessment of both systems are conducted and discussed to provide some actionable insights to the system operators. The LCA results indicate that the operation of HHPS-G for apron snow removal might have the least energy consumption, GHG emissions, and operating costs. Also, the potential sustainability benefits of HHPS-NG is expected to increase as the efficiency of water boiler improves.
O-Antigen Diversity among <i>Acinetobacter baumannii</i> Strains from the Czech Republic and Northwestern Europe, as Determined by Lipopolysaccharide-Specific Monoclonal Antibodies (2001)

O-antigen-specific monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) are currently being generated to develop an O-serotyping scheme for the genus Acinetobacter and to provide potent tools to study the diversity of O-antigens among Acinetobacter strains. In this report, Acinetobacter baumannii strains from the Czech Republic and from two clonal groups identified in Northwestern Europe (termed clones I and II) were investigated for their reactivity with a panel of O-antigen-specific MAbs generated against Acinetobacter strains from various species. The bacteria were characterized for their ribotype, biotype, and antibiotic susceptibility and the presence of the 8.7-kb plasmid pAN1. By using the combination of these typing profiles, the Czech strains could be classified into four previously defined groups (A. Nemec, L. Janda, O. Melter, and L. Dijkshoorn, J. Med. Microbiol. 48:287-296, 1999): two relatively homogeneous groups of multiresistant strains (termed groups A and B), a heterogeneous group of other multiresistant strains, and a group of susceptible strains. O-antigen reactivity was observed primarily with MAbs generated against Acinetobacter calcoaceticus and Acinetobacter baumannii strains. A comparison of reaction patterns confirmed the previously hypothesized clonal relationship between group A and clone I strains, which are also similar in other properties. The results show that there is limited O-antigen variability among strains with similar geno- and phenotypic characteristics and are suggestive of a high prevalence of certain A. baumannii serotypes in the clinical environment. It is also shown that O-antigen-specific MAbs are useful for the follow-up of strains causing outbreaks in hospitals.
Prediction of Performance of Two-Phase Flow Nozzle and Liquid Metal Magnetohydrodynamic (LMMHD) Generator for No Slip Condition (1992)

<div class="htmlview paragraph">Two-phase LMMHD energy conversion systems have potentially significant advantages over conventional systems such as higher thermal efficiency and substantial simplicity with lower capital and maintenance costs. Maintenance of low velocity slip is of importance for achieving high generator efficiency. A bubbly flow pattern ensures very low velocity slip. The full governing equations have been written out, and a computer prediction code has been developed to analyze performance of a two-phase flow LMMHD generator and nozzle under conditions of no slip. Three different shapes of a LMMHD generator have been investigated. Electrical power outputs are in the 20 kW range. Generator efficiency exceeds 71 percent at an average void fraction of about 70 percent. This is an appreciable performance for a short generator without insulating vanes for minimizing electrical losses in the end regions.</div>

Low-Speed ADC Sampling Based High-Resolution Compressive Channel Estimation (2012)

Broadband channel is often characterized by a sparse multipath channel where dominant multipath taps are widely separated in time, thereby resulting in a large delay spread. Traditionally, accurate channel estimation is done by sampling received signal by analog-to-digital converter (ADC) at Nyquist rate (high-speed ADC sampling) and then estimate all channel taps with high-resolution. However, traditional linear estimation methods have two mainly disadvantages: 1) demand of the high-speed ADC sampling rate which already exceeds the capability of current ADC and also the high-speed ADC is very expensive for regular wireless communications; 2) neglect the inherent channel sparsity and the low spectral efficiency wireless communication is unavoidable. To solve these challenges, in this paper, we propose a high-resolution compressive channel estimation method by using low-speed ADC sampling. Our proposed method can achieve close performance comparing with traditional sparse channel estimation methods. At the same time, the proposed method has following advantages: 1) reduce communication cost by utilizing cheap low-speed ADC; 2) improve spectral efficiency by extracting potential training signal resource. Numerical simulations confirm our proposed method using low-speed ADC sampling.
Building performance simulation for sustainable building design and operation (2011)

This paper aims to provide a general view of the background and current state of building performance simulation, which has the potential to deliver, directly or indirectly, substantial benefits to building stakeholders and to the environment. However the building simulation community faces many challenges for the future. Several challenges relate to the need to provide better design support. Issues include early phase design support, multi-scale approaches (from construction detail to district level), uncertainty and sensitivity analysis, robustness analysis (employing use and environmental change scenarios), optimization under uncertainty, inverse approach (to address "how to" instead of being able to answer "what if" questions), multi-physics (particularly inclusion of electrical power flow modeling), and integration in the construction process (using building information modeling (BIM), process modeling, etc). Another group of challenges relates to the need to provide support for building operation and management. The issues include accurate in-use energy consumption prediction and model predictive control.
NORMALIZATION REGARDING NON-RANDOM MISSING VALUES IN HIGH-THROUGHPUT MASS SPECTROMETRY DATA (2005)

We propose a two-step normalization procedure for high-throughput mass spectrometry (MS) data, which is a necessary step in biomarker clustering or classification. First, a global normalization step is used to remove sources of systematic variation between MS profiles due to, for instance, varying amounts of sample degradation over time. A probability model is then used to investigate the intensity-dependent missing events and provides possible substitutions for the missing values. We illustrate the performance of the method with a LC-MS data set of synthetic protein mixtures.
Modeling and control of a novel hydraulic system with energy regeneration (2012)

This paper studies a novel energy-saving hydraulic system, where a regeneration unit consisting of a hydraulic motor and an electric generator is used to take the place of a conventional pressure compensator. Thus hydraulic energy can be regenerated rather than dissipated in the compensator while load compensation function can be realized by adapting the electromagnetic torque of the generator to the loaded pressure. Modeling of the system is implemented and a simple feedback controller is designed based on pressure drop estimation. The proposed system and control algorithm are applied to an experimental platform of hybrid hydraulic excavator which is equipped with electrical energy storage elements. The experimental results show that expected control performance and significant energy saving can be obtained.
T2Pair: Secure and Usable Pairing for Heterogeneous IoT Devices (2020)

Secure pairing is key to trustworthy deployment and application of Internet of Things (IoT) devices. However, IoT devices lack conventional user interfaces, such as keyboards and displays, which makes many traditional pairing approaches inapplicable. Proximity-based pairing approaches are very usable, but can be exploited by co-located malicious devices. Approaches based on a user's physical operations on IoT devices are more secure, but typically require inertial sensors, while many devices do not satisfy this requirement. A secure and usable pairing approach that can be applied to heterogeneous IoT devices still does not exist. We develop a technique, Universal Operation Sensing, which allows an IoT device to sense the user's physical operations on it without requiring inertial sensors. With this technique, a user holding a smartphone or wearing a wristband can finish pairing in seconds through some very simple operations, e.g., pressing a button or twisting a knob. Moreover, we reveal an inaccuracy issue in original fuzzy commitment and propose faithful fuzzy commitment to resolve it. We design a pairing protocol using faithful fuzzy commitment, and build a prototype system named Touch-to-Pair (T2Pair, for short). The comprehensive evaluation shows that it is secure and usable.

Speech Bandwidth Enhancement using State Space Speech Dynamics (2006)

Extending narrowband speech (0-4 kHz) to wideband speech (0-8 kHz) has applications in telephone systems and speech recognition systems where wideband training speech data may not be available. A couple of methods have been proposed to retrieve the missing high-band information (4-8 kHz) from narrowband speech. Memoryless systems are likely to produce large hissing artifacts since mutual information between low-band (0-4 kHz) and high-band (4-8 kHz) spectra are actually quite low. Generally speaking, bandwidth extension cannot recover original high-band information but good approximates with less over-estimation of the high-band energy, which usually refers to hissing artifact, can be obtained by considering the neighboring speech frames. In this paper, we propose a new bandwidth extension system with memory by using a state-space model to capture the long-term speech dynamics. The model parameters can be trained in the sense of maximum likelihood (ML) and the enhancement is obtained via wideband state vector estimation and Kalman filtering. The performance in terms of spectral distortion is shown to be much better than other memoryless systems and is comparable with early Continuous Density Hidden Markov Model (CDHMM) memory system. The new state-space method is inherent sequential and has advantages of less processing delays and robustness against block detection errors.
