Alternatives for methane emission mitigation in livestock systems (2010)

Human activities are contributing to Global Climate Change through the production of Green House Gases (GHG), which result in increased air, land and ocean temperatures and extreme changes in precipitation in regions of low and high rainfall. The most important GHG's are carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4) and nitrous oxide (N2O). It is estimated that 18 % of the annual GHG emissions come from different types of livestock and that 37% of CH4, with higher global warming potential (23) relative to CO2 (1), comes from fermentation processes in ruminants. It is possible that in the future beef and milk exports from producing countries is subject to bans if cattle systems do not comply with measures to reduce GHG. There are several alternatives available and being researched to reduce enteric CH4 emissions from cattle that range from manipulating diet composition, supplementing feed additives (i.e. ionophores, organic acids, halogenated compounds, oils) and selection of forage plants of high quality and containing secondary metabolites (i.e. tannins and saponins) to animal breeding, immunization and genetic transformation of rumen microorganisms. Results show that inhibition of enteric CH4 emission is possible through the use of ionophores, organic acids and oils. The use of ionophores can result in resistance of rumen microbes and as a result the effect is short term. The high cost of organic acids makes it unlikely that there direct supplementation in ruminant diets is economically viable. However, organic acids are present at relatively high concentrations in the leaf tissue of plants and attempts should be made to select and breed forages with higher levels of these compounds. It is argued that a more efficient strategy to reduce enteric CH4 in ruminants is through selection of grasses of high quality (i.e. high concentration of water soluble carbohydrates), of forage legumes containing secondary metabolites like tannins and of fruits/plants containing saponins, provided that they do not affect intake and digestibility. Improved nutrition of cattle through feeding high quality forages can result in high animal performance and in reductions of CH4 emitted per unit of dry matter intake and per unit of product.
Single transporter for sulfate, selenate, and selenite in Escherichia coli K-12 (1985)

A Michaelis-Menten kinetic analysis of the transport of sulfate, selenate, and selenite into Escherichia coli K-12 showed that the three dianions were transported by the same carrier. Km values, used as a measure of the affinity of each ligand for the carrier, showed that sulfate was bound 5 times more tightly than selenate and 37 times more tightly than selenite. The specificity ratio, Vmax/Km, also indicated that sulfate was the preferred ligand. There was little difference in the ratios for selenate and selenite.

Surface-wave radiation pattern and source parameters of Koyna earthquake of December 10, 1967 (1975)

abstract The fundamental-mode Rayleigh waves for the Koyna earthquake of December 10, 1967 recorded on long-period vertical component seismograms of 30 WWSSN stations have been Fourier analyzed. The radiation patterns have been plotted at six wave periods. Comparison of these data with the theoretical radiation patterns computed for various fault parameters favored the strike of the fault in N10°E direction, dip 78°W, slip 175°, and the depth of focus to be 10 km. Strike-slip faulting on a near-vertical fault plane has been inferred. The S -wave polarization angles, which have been obtained for 13 stations, also favor the above solution. Surface-wave magnitude has been determined to be 6.3 and the fault surface area to be 252 km 2 . Using the Rayleigh-wave spectral amplitude for 50-sec period, the seismic moment, M o , is determined to be 0.82 × 10 26 dyne-cm. The values of average dislocation, seismic energy, apparent stress, and apparent strain are calculated to be 108 cm, 2.25 × 10 21 ergs, 15.4 bars and 5.3 × 10 −5 , respectively. For a rupture velocity of 1.5 km/sec, the values of fault length and stress drop are found to be about 23 km and 19.8 bars, and for a rupture velocity of 3.0 km/sec these values are about 40 km and 6.2 bars, respectively.
Determination of the Upper Limit of Vulnerability Using Implantable Cardioverter-Defibrillator Electrograms (2003)

The recovery time of shock electrograms provides accurate information about global repolarization. TR closely approximates Tpeak. The ULV method may be automated in an ICD by timing T-wave shocks relative to TR.
Associations between dietary inflammatory index and inflammatory markers in the Asklepios Study (2015)

Previous research has shown that nutrients and certain food items influence inflammation. However, little is known about the associations between diet, as a whole, and inflammatory markers. In the present study, we examined the ability of a FFQ-derived dietary inflammatory index (DII) to predict inflammation. Data from a Belgian cross-sectional study of 2524 generally healthy subjects (age 35-55 years) were used. The DII is a population-based, literature-derived dietary index that was developed to predict inflammation and inflammation-related chronic diseases. The DII was calculated from FFQ-derived dietary information and tested against inflammatory markers, namely C-reactive protein (CRP), IL-6, homocysteine and fibrinogen. Analyses were performed using multivariable logistic regression, adjusting for energy, age, sex, BMI, smoking status, education level, use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, blood pressure, use of oral contraceptives, anti-hypertensive therapy, lipid-lowering drugs and physical activity. Multivariable analyses showed significant positive associations between the DII and the inflammatory markers IL-6 (>1·6 pg/ml) (OR 1·19, 95 % CI 1·04, 1·36) and homocysteine (>15 μmol/l) (OR 1·56, 95 % CI 1·25, 1·94). No significant associations were observed between the DII and the inflammatory markers CRP and fibrinogen. These results reinforce the fact that diet, as a whole, plays an important role in modifying inflammation.
A MECHANISTIC MODEL FOR MICROBIAL UPTAKE OF HYDROCARBONS IN FLOCCULATING AND NONFLOCCULATING SYSTEMS (1986)

Abstract Hydrocarhon uptake was studied in three microbial systems with different flocculation characteristics. An integrated mechanistic model, based on different substrate sources, has been developed for both flocculating and nonflocculating hydrocarbon fermentation systems. Simulated growth kinetics were compared with experimental results. The model illustrates the role of microbial characteristics in uptake kinetics and identifies the controlling parameters to better understand microbial uptake of hydrocarbons.
Perceived Social Isolation within Personal and Evolutionary Timescales (2013)

Abstract Evolutionary time and evolutionary forces operate at such a different scale of organization than we experience in everyday life that personal experience is not sufficient to understand the role of loneliness in human existence. Research over the past decade suggests a very different view of loneliness than suggested by personal experience, one in which loneliness serves a variety of adaptive functions in specific habitats. We outline an evolutionary theory of loneliness, with an emphasis on its potential adaptive value in an evolutionary timescale.

The Effect of Novel Deep Donors on the Resolution of Reverse Electrode Germanium Radiation Detectors (1985)

A new group of deep donors, designated ETI, has been studied in as-grown n-type ultrapure germanium single crystals [(ND - NA)~1010 cm-3]. The donors have a broad band-type structure consisting of three or more closely spaced peaks (Ec -40 meV to Ec -100meV) as determined by deep level transient spectroscopy (DLTS). Reverse electrode germanium (REGe) radiation detectors which contain ETI are shown to exhibit electron trapping leading to a degradation in resolution as measured by the 1.33 MeV γ-ray peak of 60Co. The concentration of ETI and the degradation in resolution are strongly correlated.
Cerebellar Cortical Degeneration in Beagle Dogs (1988)

Cerebellar disorders characterized by degeneration or loss of Purkinje cells have been reported in many In the dog, they have occurred in Airedales,' Gordon setters,*z4 rough coated collies,6 border collie^,^ beagle^,^ Sam~yeds ,~ and Irish setters.'O An 18-month-old female and a 9-month-old male were mated in our beagle colony. The female was purchased from Marshall Farms, North Rose, New York. The male was bred in our colony. Both had been on a complete vaccination program and were clinically normal. The dam delivered eight pups-three males and five females-on June 13, 1985. Two males and one female died within a day after birth. Of the remaining five pups, one male (case 1) and two females (cases 2 and 3) developed neurological signs first noted as frequent falling when the dogs became ambulatory at about 3 weeks of age. Signs slowly progressed without improvement until euthanasia at 14 weeks of age. The other two female littermates grew normally without neurological deficits. At necropsy, tissues were fixed in 10% phosphate buffered formalin. Cerebrum and brain stem were sectioned coronally; cerebellum was sectioned sagittally through the vermis and transversely through the left hemisphere. Tissues were embedded in paraffin, sectioned, and stained with hematoxylin and eosin (HE). In the cerebellum, the following stains were also applied Bodian, lux01 fast blue (LFB), and, for ghal fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP), an avidin-biotin immuno-
Performance characterization of PD-SOI ring oscillators at cryogenic temperatures (2010)

We report on the successful operation of partially depleted silicon on insulator (PD-SOI) ring oscillators at temperatures down to 2.8 K. This 45 nm CMOS technology node hardware was fabricated on 300 mm wafers that were part of a development lot not optimized for low temperature operation. The test structure comprises a set of ring oscillators, an output multiplexer and a divide by 1024 circuit followed by an off-chip driver. By reducing the temperature of the device from 300 K to 2.8 K, the static power dissipation decreases by more than an order of magnitude. Circuit delays improve by approximately 20%, 16% from drive current enhancement and 4% from capacitance reduction. To gain further insight on this behavior we are measuring at cryogenic temperatures single MOSFETs and small arrays of MOSFETs that were fabricated alongside the ring oscillators. Experimental results and potential applications of cryogenic PD-SOI are presented.
Piezoactuators for motion control from centimeter to nanometer (2002)

This paper presents several approaches for piezoactuators in motion control over a large dynamic range (cm to nm). The devices include monolithic two-degree-of-freedom actuators with mechanical amplification, stick-slip actuators and 6-DOF designs of micro-positioners. Closed loop feedback is of course necessary for good performance. All the proposed solutions have been realized and experimental results are discussed, application examples in scanning probe microscopy and biology are shortly presented.

Elektrooptische und elektronische Materialien sind Gegenstand großer Forschungsaktivität; dabei konzentrierte man sich bisher auf elektronenreiche organische Moleküle. In den letzten Jahren wurden neue Wege zu Elektronenmangelsystemen entwickelt, wobei man sich zunutze machte, dass dreifach koordiniertes Bor und das positiv geladene Carbokation isoelektronisch und gleichartig von ihren Substituenten umgeben sind, was die direkte Synthese von neutralen p-Typ-Materialien ermöglichte. Dieser Kurzaufsatz fasst neuere Arbeiten über Verbindungen mit drei- und vierfach koordiniertem Bor und über Borcluster zusammen und verknüpft sie mit früheren Untersuchungen der Arbeitsgruppen von Williams und Glowgowski, Kaim, Lequan und Marder.
Pioglitazone Solid Dispersion System Prepared by Spray Drying Method: In Vitro and In Vivo Evaluation (2013)

The aim of the present study was to prepare and evaluate solid dispersion of pioglitazone by the spray drying method. Various hydrophilic polymers were used for preparation of solid dispersion. Pioglitazone is an oral antidiabetic agent effective for reactive hypoglycaemia and aggravated glycaemic metabolism associated with insulin resistance. The prepared solid dispersion was evaluated for saturation solubility, drug content, differential scanning calorimetry, x-ray diffraction, infrared spectroscopy, and stability as per International Conference on Harmonisation guidelines. The glucose-lowering response of the optimized formulation was also studied in Alloxan-induced diabetic Swiss Albino mice. The formulation containing hydrophilic polymers showed a satisfactory drug release pattern compared to the pure drug. Further, when in vivo hypoglycaemic response of pure drug, prepared solid dispersion, and marketed formulation was compared, the optimized solid dispersion batch revealed significant improvement in hypoglycaemic activity. Hence, the present study reveals that the formulation of solid dispersion of pioglitazone with hydrophilic polymer exhibits good release properties as well as in vivo antihyperglycemic activity.
Nonorthogonal Wavelet Packets (1993)

The notion of orthonormal wavelet packets introduced by Coifman and Meyer is generalized to the nonorthogonal setting in order to include compactly supported and symmetric basis functions. In particular, dual (or biorthogonal) wavelet packets are investigated and a stability result is established. Algorithms for implementations are also developed.

Packaged microbubble resonators as a robust field sensing device (2019)

Whispering Gallery Mode (WGM) microresonators are a powerful class of optical devices in which light is confined within a small volume. These devices offer the advantages of high sensitivity, affordable cost of fabrication, and ease of integration with conventional electronic systems. In particular, microbubble resonators are a unique type of WGM devices in which the optical and fluidic elements are combined into a single component. We have developed a packaged, silica microbubble resonator device for field applications using 3-D printed substrates. These devices offer Qfactors at high as 10<sup>6</sup>.

Analysis of the human EEG using self-organising neural nets (1992)

The authors report on a neural network approach to a problem for which an existing rule-based system gives not entirely satisfactory results. The precise formal rules of such a system do not lend themselves to the analysis of a signal as variable and complex as the sleep EEG and the authors have sought, instead, to utilise the pattern processing capabilities of artificial neural networks to tackle the problem from a radically different perspective. Starting with no a priori assumptions about the number of states which exist within the EEG during sleep, they have used a version of Kohonen's self-organising algorithm for unsupervised clustering of the parameterised EEG signal. This showed the existence of eight clusters in the feature map, but, more importantly, revealed that there were three types of trajectories between these cluster sites. This observation led the authors to develop a quantitative analysis system by constructing a multilayer network, the intermediate, or hidden, layer being the spatially-organised feature map. >
Photoreflectance study of ion beam synthesized β-FeSi2 (2002)

The photoreflectance spectra of ion beam synthesized β-FeSi2 reveals a direct gap at 0.815 eV and are shown to agree with the band gap value obtained by photoluminescence once the adjustments for the temperature difference and trap related recombination effects are made. This provides very convincing evidence for intrinsic light emission from ion beam synthesized β-FeSi2. Furthermore, we propose a simple model that helps to clarify the variety of inconsistent results obtained by optical absorption measurements. When the results of photoluminescence and photoreflectance are inserted into this model, we obtain good agreement with our measured optical absorption results.
Use of an Implantable Needle Guide to Access Difficult or Impossible to Cannulate Arteriovenous Fistulae using the Buttonhole Technique (2013)

Ontogeny of the secretory immune system: maturation of a functional polymeric immunoglobulin receptor regulated by gene expression. (1992)

In the rat, secretion of polymeric IgA from serum into bile is dependent upon the presence of a functional polymeric immunoglobulin receptor (pIgR) that acts as a hepatocyte plasma membrane receptor for ligand binding and as a transcellular transport molecule. The objective of this study was to document the developmental maturation and regulation of functionally intact rat liver pIgR. An adult pattern of IgA secretion was not detected until after day 23 postpartum (dPP), by using intravenously injected 125I-labeled dimeric IgA. Radioactive dimeric IgA was not detectable in hepatocyte transport vesicles until 21 dPP by electron microscopy autoradiographic analysis. By using a rabbit polyclonal antibody against the rat secretory component domain of the pIgR, Western blot analysis demonstrated that the plasma-membrane-bound pIgR levels in hepatocytes from rats aged 19-22 dPP increased 10-fold during this period. To determine whether or not this increase in membrane-bound pIgR reflected increased pIgR gene expression, we probed Northern blots of total cellular RNA extracted from neonatal rat liver with pIgR cDNA [GORF-1; Banting, G., Brake, B., Braghetta, P., Luzio, J.P. & Stanley, K. K. (1989) FEBS Lett. 254, 177-183]. The pIgR RNA levels between 19 and 22 dPP rose more than 20-fold and paralleled the increased membrane-bound pIgR protein during this same interval. These data demonstrate a developmentally regulated process that controls the ontogeny of biliary dimeric IgA secretion at the termination of the third week postpartum. The process appears to depend on the up-regulation of pIgR gene expression.

The role of circulating food antigen-specific lymphocytes in food allergic children with atopic dermatitis (1996)

In this study we evaluated antigen-specific in vitro responses of peripheral blood lymphocytes to lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-depleted food allergens in children who reacted to food challenge (cow's milk or hen's egg) with a deterioration of their atopic dermatitis (AD). Some of the children showed immediate symptoms (urticaria, bronchial asthma or gastrointestinal symptoms) as well. The proliferation of casein-stimulated lymphocytes from children reacting to cow's milk (age 0.7-5.9 years) was significantly higher (P < 0.01) than the proliferation of lymphocytes from 15 children with AD without milk allergy (age: 2.1-9.1 years). Twenty-eight T-cell clones (TCC) were established from the blood of three children sensitized to cow's milk and hen's egg who reacted to double-blind, placebo-controlled oral food challenge both with a deterioration of AD and with immediate symptoms. Surprisingly, 16 of 28 casein- or ovalbumin-specific TCC were CD8+. All TCC produced high amounts of IFN-gamma upon stimulation with concanavalin A. In addition, 75% of the CD4+ TCC and 44% of the CD8+ TCC secreted IL-4. Our results indicate that: (i) food-specific proliferation of blood lymphocytes can be detected in patients with clinically relevant food allergy with LPS-depleted allergens in vitro and (ii) circulating food-specific lymphocytes are CD4+ and CD8+ T cells with the capacity of producing both type 1 and type 2 cytokines.

Partial amphiploids from wheat (<i>Triticum aestivum</i>) × rye (<i>Secale cereale</i>) crosses (1986)

Two groups of three-way hybrids were produced by crossing F 1 hybrids of 'Petkus' × 'Prolific' rye (2n = 14) and 'Prolific' × 'Puma' rye (2n = 14) onto 'Chinese Spring' wheat (2n = 42). Meiosis was studied in 89 plants from 29 families from the first combination and in 36 plants from 11 families in the second cross. In three families from the first combination ('Petkus' × 'Prolific') five partial amphiploids with chromosome numbers of 2n = 35, 36, 36, 38, and 41 were identified. The mean bivalent frequencies in five hybrids were 6.71, 7.73, 8.10, 9.94, and 13.00, suggesting that the number of bivalents was generally equal to the number of chromosomes in excess of the expected chromosome number of 2n = 28. These five plants were partial or incomplete amphiploids and their origin was attributed to duplication of a portion of the wheat complement after fertilization.Key words: partial amphiploids, hybrids (intergeneric), Triticum, Secale, chromosome pairing.
