Repairing articular cartilage defects with tissue-engineering cartilage in rabbits. (2006)

Cancellous BMG can be regarded as the natural cell scaffolds for cartilage tissue engineering. Articular cartilage defects can be repaired by cancellous BMG engineered with allogeneic chondrocytes. The nature of repaired tissues is closest to the normal cartilage. Local administration of trypsin can promote the adherence of repaired tissues to host tissues. Transplantation of allogeneic chondrocytes has immunogenicity, but the immune reaction is weak.
Complex Spherical BaCO<sub>3</sub> Superstructures Self-Assembled by a Facile Mineralization Process under Control of Simple Polyelectrolytes (2003)

Complex BaCO3 superstructures can be easily generated by using poly(sodium 4-styrenesulfonate) (PSS) and poly(allylamine hydrochloride) (PAH) as structure directing agents in the mineralization process. More complex macroporous superstructures could be generated by cooperative templating effects of the molecular template and a foreign static template such as air bubbles.
Size and Stability of Reconstituted Sesame Oil Bodies (2003)

Oil bodies of sesame seeds comprise a triacylglycerol matrix, which is surrounded by a monolayer of phospholipids embedded with unique proteins, mainly structural proteins termed oleosins. Artificial oil bodies were successfully reconstituted with various compositions of triacylglycerols, phospholipids, and oil-body proteins. The sizes of reconstituted oil bodies displayed a normal distribution with an average size proportional to the ratio of triacylglycerols to oil-body proteins. Both thermostability and structural stability of reconstituted oil bodies decreased as their sizes increased, and vice versa. Proteinase K digestion indicated that oleosins anchored both native and reconstituted oil bodies via their central hydrophobic domains. The stability of reconstituted oil bodies, as well as the purified ones from sesame seeds, could be substantially enhanced after their surface proteins were cross-linked by glutaraldehyde or genipin.
EEC Competition Actions in Member States' Courts – Claims for Damages, Declarations and Injunctions for Breach of Community Antitrust Law (1983)

It seems likely that the need for protection against private claims for damages will cause more corporations to notify the Commission of their agreements and practices so as to obtain exemptions or, if appropriate, negative clearances. Whether this will cause a net increase in the Commission’s workload is not clear, since there will be a concomitant decrease in the number of cases dealt with by the Commission. The Commission could try to solve any problem of increasing workload by proposing a directive to harmonize national laws and procedures in a way which would encourage plaintiffs to bring claims in national courts rather than to the Commission, and by adopting or proposing a directive to harmonize national laws and procedures in a way which would encourage plaintiffs to bring claims in national courts rather than to the Commission, and by adopting or proposing the adoption of group exemptions under article 85(3) for less restrictive agreements.
Comparison of Woody and Herbaceous Plant Diversity in Control and Managed Broadleaves Stands Managed Broadleaves Stands (A Case Study: Jamand District- Golband Forest of Noshahr) (2014)

The aim of present study was comparison of plant diversity in managed and control compartments of Jamand district in Noshahr (Mazandaran province). Random-systematic sampling method with network dimension of 100×200 m was used to locate samples. Sampling plot area was 400 m2 to survey woody species and 100 m2 plots was set up to herbaceous species (in the center of main plots). At each sample plot, percent cover of each plant species were recorded by using of Braun-Blanquet scale and Shannon Wiener Evenness, Shannon Wiener and Simpson diversity indices were used to evaluate plant species diversity. The results showed that means of Shannon Wiener Evenness, Shannon Wiener and Simpson diversity indices for herbaceous species were 0.77, 2.1 and 0.8 in the managed compartment, and 0.68, 1.9 and 0.72 in control compartment, respectively, but there were no significant differences between two compartments based on herbaceous layer diversity indices (α= 5%). The means of diversity indices in tree layer based on cover percent, relative density, and importance value were obtained significantly higher in control compartment than managed compartment. Also the results illustrated that implication of single selection method caused increasing the percentage of beech (Fagus orientalis Lipsky) in the stands of managed compartment.
Administration of Fat Emulsions (1982)

In our bone marrow transplant unit, a 20-bed facility, we treat patients with leukemia and aplastic anemia. In preparation for a bone marrow transplant all patients receive 1,000 rads of total body irradiation and/or high-dose chemotherapy. This treatment destroys the patient's bone marrow function to prepare for the acceptance of a bone marrow transplant from a sibling or from one of the parents. Both the chemotherapy and the irradiation result in loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, and severe mucositis leading to reduced oral intake. In addition, the body's nutritional requirements are increased by such occurrences as fever, infection, and graft-versus-host disease. Thus, at the same time oral intake is diminished, nutritional requirements are increased, leading to the possibility of a severely compromised nutritional state. One of the prominent nutritional deficiencies has been essential fatty acid deficiency (EFAD). This occurs both because of reduced oral intake of fats and because stored body fat is being used to meet energy requirements(1). The occurrence of EFAD can intensify the potential adverse effects of total body irradiation and chemotherapy. The common signs of EFAD
Fecal Incontinence in Women (1998)

Pelvic floor disorders are common in women. Most gynecologists are well versed in the management of urinary incontinence and uterovaginal prolapse; however, knowledge of disorders involving the anorectum is often lacking. This review will discuss the issue of anorectal incontinence in women, attempt to provide a logical outline for evaluation and treatment, and offer potential methods of prevention.
Nitric Oxide-Induced Activation of the AMP-Activated Protein Kinase α2 Subunit Attenuates IκB Kinase Activity and Inflammatory Responses in Endothelial Cells (2011)

These results demonstrate that the IKK is a direct substrate of AMPKα2 and that its phosphorylation on Ser177 and Ser181 results in the inhibition of the kinase and decreased NFκB activation. Moreover, as NO potently activates AMPK in endothelial cells, a portion of the anti-inflammatory effects of NO are mediated by AMPK.
Subsea Pipeline Trenching (1985)

An Overview of Stem Cell-Based Clinical Trials in China (2008)

Adult human stem cells are capable of maintaining, generating, and replacing terminally differentiated cells within their own specific tissue. Data suggest that adult stem cells (ASCs) generate differentiated cells beyond their own tissue boundaries, a process termed “developmental plasticity.” Since early reports of developmental plasticity in animal models, researchers have made enormous advances in moving toward clinically applicable treatment options with stem cells from both bone marrow and peripheral blood. It seems China is entering this new therapeutic era more rapidly than other countries around the world. In this review, we focus on therapeutic applications of ASCs derived from bone marrow and peripheral blood. Furthermore, we also discuss concerns related to regulations monitoring stem cell-based clinical trials.
Automating process discovery through event-data analysis (1995)

software process methods and tools presuppose the existence of a formal model of a process. Unfortunately, developing a formal model for an on-going, complex process can be dificult, costly, and err-or prone. This presents a practical barrier to the adoption of process technologies. The barrier would be lowered by automatmg the creation of formal models. We are currently exploring techniques that can use basic event data captured from an on-going process to generate a formal model of process behavior. We term this kind of data analysis process discovery. Thts paper descr~bes and illustrates three methods with whzch we have been experimenting: algorithmic grammar inference, Markov models, and neural networks.

A Comparison of the Biology of<i>Echinus esculentus</i>in different Habitats. Part III. (1937)

1. Gonad examinations were made on monthly samples of Echinus esculentus from Plymouth in 1934, 1935, and 1936. 2. Spawning is from February–March to May, 50% spawning occurring at a temperature of 9.2–9–7° C. compared with 7.0—7.8° C. in the Isle of Man. There was a winter drop in gonad volume one year, but not the other. 3. The nature, distribution and source of the pigments in the shell are discussed, and it is shown that pigment is found in quantity in the intestine only in the summer and autumn. 4. The known facts with regard to the seasons of growth, spawning, etc., are brought together into a generalized diagram.

Structural and optical properties of strain-relaxed InAsP/InP heterostructures grown by metalorganic vapor phase epitaxy on InP(001) using tertiarybutylarsine (1996)

A combination of transmission electron microscopy and high-resolution x-ray diffraction analyses has been used to determine the exact strain in each layer of InAsP/InP multiple-quantum-well structures grown by metalorganic vapor phase epitaxy on InP(001) using trimethylindium, tertiarybutylarsine, and phosphine as precursors. The strain-relaxed structures are characterized by misfit dislocations located exclusively at (i) the interface between the buffer layer and the multilayer, and (ii) the interface between the multilayer and the cap layer. The low-temperature optical absorption spectra show well resolved excitonic transitions that are significantly shifted by strain relaxation. The spectra are analyzed with a solution to the Schrödinger equation in the envelope function formalism using the Bastard–Marzin model. The energies for the major transitions involving light- and heavy-holes are predicted accurately for all samples, allowing the determination of the heterojunction band offset. The heavy- and light-hole exciton binding energies deduced from that analysis range from 5 to 7 meV and 2 to 5 meV, respectively. The absolute values of the conduction band offset (expressed in meV) are consistent with the predictions of the quantum dipole model [J. Tersoff, Phys. Rev. B 30, 4874 (1984)] when calculating the midgap energy using a linear interpolation for the InAsP ternary composition between the values for the binaries InAs and InP. The absolute value of conduction band offset (in meV), which is dictated by the composition of the ternary layer, does not significantly depend on the degree of strain relaxation of the multilayer. However, the effect of this strain-relaxation on the InP and InAsP band gaps causes the conduction band offset to apparently increase from 72 to 82% of the partially-strained band gap difference when the strain-relaxation increases from 0 to 17%.
<i>flaB</i> Gene as a Molecular Marker for Distinct Identification of Borrelia Species in Environmental Samples by the PCR-Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism Method (2011)

A new protocol employing nested PCR-restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) based on the flaB gene and two restriction enzymes was worked out. This protocol allows the identification of all Borrelia species transmitted by Ixodes ricinus in Europe, including Borrelia miyamotoi and 3 genetic variants of B. garinii. A dendrogram of flaB sequence similarity was in accordance with RFLP variants.

One‐stop measurement of iron deposition in the anterior pituitary, liver, and heart in thalassemia patients (2008)

A quick MRI protocol for assessment of T2* liver, T2* heart, and T2SI pituitary is technically feasible. This might form an objective basis to monitor the response to different organs to chelation therapy.
A customer‐focused approach to improve environmental contracting (1995)

Abstract This article summarizes a project in which a multiprogram national laboratory reevaluated its approach to contracting. With its significant contracting in environmental restoration and technology development and demonstration projects, the laboratory sought to realign its processes and evaluate alternative organizational structures in order to enhance its effectiveness. The contracts staff developed an approach to this reevaluation based on its mission and vision. Carefully working through many tasks, the contracts staff redesigned and restructured its organization to be more customer‐focused. The contracts department shifted from a functional, centralized specialization to cross‐functional teams often colocated with customers. Each team performs a much broader range of functions, providing both enhanced service to its laboratory customers and greater continuity of support. The new structure has also improved the laboratory's service to its external customers.

An update on the asthma-rhinitis link (2004)

The new findings on the asthma-rhinitis link have confirmed the current pathogenic view of respiratory allergy. These findings have important implications from a therapeutic point of view, and therefore encourage and promote the search for novel integrated treatment strategies.
Satellite-Satellite Single-Difference Phase Bias Calibration As Applied to Ambiguity Resolution (2002)

ABSTRACT: A GPS carrier-phase ambiguity resolution method using satellite–satellite single differences was developed to improve precise point positioning methods. First, single-difference widelane and L1 ambiguities were formed to remove the GPS receiver contributions to GPS carrier-phase ambiguities. Next, these values were combined over the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) Fiducial Laboratories for an International Natural Science Network (FLINN) tracking network using directional statistics to calibrate the satellite-dependent fractional phase biases. A statistical boot-strapping algorithm was developed to improve the L1 fractional phase bias distributions. After applying the calibration, the remainder was constrained to an integer. Assuming perfect knowledge of the calibrations for simulated data resulted in a 40–50 percent mean baseline length repeatability improvement, which is comparable to results using double-differencing ambiguity resolution. The introduction of random bias calibration errors decreased the repeatability improvement to 14 percent. If improved orbit solutions become available, the method may become viable for real data.
Technical Considerations in Electrical and Mechanical System Design of Taipei Mass Rapid Transit System Extension Projects (2007)

Since the first rapid transit system of 10.9 km was opened to public of Taipei, Taiwan in 1996, the Taipei metropolitan area mass rapid transit, MRT, network has been extended up to more than 76.5 km and is still on the way of extension. The advent of advanced communication technologies and the experience from operation agent give chance as well as challenge to the system extension and upgrade. In this paper the system enhancement through using the new advanced communication technologies to improve the service, safety and functionality of the system is addressed. In addition, the unique challenges in front of extending and integrating the existing system with the new system is also addressed, especially, on the system identification and verification of existing automatic train control system for system retrofit, and the compatibility of train running cross line. Moreover, mitigating the disturbance to normal service of existing system during the extension is discussed; the activities being taken to ensure the success of the extending and upgrading project are presented.
Topical silver sulphadiazine--a new drug for ocular keratomycosis. (1988)

The efficacy of silver sulphadiazine in human keratomycosis has not been evaluated so far. Encouraged by the success of an earlier experimental trial, a prospective, controlled, randomised double masked clinical study was designed to evaluate the efficacy of 1% silver sulphadiazine ophthalmic ointment in 20 eyes of mycotic keratitis. Miconazole 1% was used for comparative evaluation in another 20 eyes. Silver sulphadiazine had a higher success rate (80% vs 55%) than miconazole. It had broad antifungal activity and was found to be effective in fusarium keratitis. Absence of side effects, economy, and its efficacy in deeper and extensive lesions were additional advantages. It is concluded from this study that silver sulphadiazine is a safe and effective broad spectrum antifungal agent which can be used for the treatment of human keratomycosis.
Prehospital care, importance of early intervention on outcome (1997)

The improvement of rescue systems and on-scene therapy has lead to a significant reduction of early posttraumatic death. It was the goal of this study to critically analyse the value of prehospital care in respect to early but also to delayed complications (single = SOF or multiple organ failure = MOF) In a retrospective analysis 1223 polytraumatized patients treated during 1984 and 1994, with an injury severity of more than 20 points according to the Injury Severity Score = ISS, on-scene therapy ("field stabilization") was evaluated. We could show that a sufficient preclinical airway management has major influence on late prognosis (MOF). We therefore definitely recommend early intubation at the scene in these patients. The intravenous access at the emergency place is always necessary independent whether the patient is in hemorrhagic shock or not. Loss of time can increase shock mechanisms making intravenous access even more difficult. If there is already a peripheral vasoconstriction and the localisation of an peripheral vein renders more difficult, one possibility is a venae section to get safe access. Concerning the amount of preclinical infusion controverse opinions exist. Our evaluation could not give an satisfactory statement because of a differing high incidence of mass bleeding in the groups with low (< 1000 ml) and high (> 2000 ml) preclinical infusion. The improvement of rescue systems and on-scene therapy has lead to a significant reduction of early posttraumatic death. Especially in those injuries, that are directly associated with the development of early death, i.e. intracranial bleeding, massive hemorrhage from thoracic and intraabdominal lesions these regimens on scene improved survival significantly (Fig 1) (Trunkey 1983). Nevertheless it is still discussed whether a longer rescue time is then justified to intensify on scene therapy. Recent publications demonstrate for instance that infusion therapy beginning on scene is not always necessary and sometimes especially in severe hemorrhagic shock can even aggrevate bleeding (Bickell 1989, Bickell 1991, Bickell 1993, Crawford 1991, Gross 1988, Stern 1993). On the other hand the value of on scene intubation and ventilation and chest tubing in these patients is critically discussed (Mattox 1989). Most of these studies however have their origin in the USA and are related exclusively to penetrating trauma (knife and gunshot wounds), which is completely different from underlying pathomechanisms (pure hemorrhagic shock). Only one reports of the same experience with blunt trauma (Barone 1986). Thus for severe blunt trauma the question is still open: "field stabilization" or "load and go" (Krausz 1992). A decision that always has to be related to the definite rescue time (Smith 1985). It was the goal of this study to critically analyse the value of prehospital care in respect to early but also to delayed complications (single = SOF or multiple organ failure = MOF).
Distributed multi-robot coordination combining semantics and real-time scheduling (2015)

In this paper, we study a distributed intelligent multirobot system (MRS) in assembly setting where robots have partially overlapping capabilities. We treat the problem of the system's real-time self-(re)configurability and self-optimization. In this light, we propose an optimized distributed coordination system ORCAS that integrates the MRS configuration based on semantic descriptions and process scheduling. In more detail, initially, robots and the corresponding devices get matched semantically to respond to the assembly requests. Then, the best configurations are chosen by dynamically minimizing total assembly costs and off-line times. During the execution, the performance is controlled for contingencies in case of which the robots, if necessary, self-reconfigure or reschedule the tasks.
