Low Frequency of Upper Gastrointestinal Complications in a Cohort of High-Risk Patients Taking Low-Dose Aspirin or NSAIDS and Omeprazole (2003)

The use of omeprazole in the high-risk patient taking low-dose aspirin or NSAIDs seems to be a safe therapeutic approach in this population and is associated with a low frequency of upper gastrointestinal complications.
Beyond the Calvin Cycle: Autotrophic Carbon Fixation in the Ocean (2010)

Organisms capable of autotrophic metabolism assimilate inorganic carbon into organic carbon. They form an integral part of ecosystems by making an otherwise unavailable form of carbon available to other organisms, a central component of the global carbon cycle. For many years, the doctrine prevailed that the Calvin-Benson-Bassham (CBB) cycle is the only biochemical autotrophic CO2 fixation pathway of significance in the ocean. However, ecological, biochemical, and genomic studies carried out over the last decade have not only elucidated new pathways but also shown that autotrophic carbon fixation via pathways other than the CBB cycle can be significant. This has ramifications for our understanding of the carbon cycle and energy flow in the ocean. Here, we review the recent discoveries in the field of autotrophic carbon fixation, including the biochemistry and evolution of the different pathways, as well as their ecological relevance in various oceanic ecosystems.
Keyword Identification within Greek URLs (2011)

In this paper we propose a method that identifies and extracts keywords within URLs, focusing on the Greek Web and especially on URLs containing Greek terms. Although there are previous works on how to process Greek online content, none of them focuses on keyword identification within URLs of the Greek web domain. In addition, there are many known techniques for web page categorization based on URLs but, none addresses the case of URLs containing transliterated Greek terms. The proposed method integrates two components; a URL tokenizer that segments URL tokens into meaningful words and a Latin–to–Greek script transliteration engine that relies on a dictionary and a set of orthographic and syntactic rules for converting Latin verbalized word tokens into Greek terms. The experimental evaluation of our method against a sample of 1,000 Greek URLs reveals that it can be fruitfully exploited towards automatic keyword identification within Greek URLs
Development of the K-12 Science Literacy Education Program focused on the Earth System and Environment (2006)

The purpose of this study was to develop a program based on the Earth system based program to help students achieve science literacy. This program was designed to be connected across grade levels, and contents of the program were constructed to have meaningful interdisciplinary context. All the activities in the program were inquiry-based, and understanding of the nature of science was considered essential throughout the program. In addition, appreciation and stewardship for the Earth system were systematically emphasized on any grade level. Design of the program applied U.S. National Science Education Standards for the quality of and conditions for school science programs.
It Takes More Than a Village (2001)

Abstract Information management is a crazy business. Throughout time, man has hoarded and jealously guarded knowledge. For the privileged few, knowledge was power. The ancient Aztec priests were able to control their civilization through their knowledge of weather, solar eclipses, and other celestial events. The Egyptians used their knowledge of the ebb and flow of the mighty Nile to cultivate crops. Religious institutions have used knowledge to control the masses. Feudal lords were able to maintain control of their peon labor through fear of God and promises of a better after-life. No matter who was the first to recognize that knowledge is power, information management has been around as long as man.
HOPE: an efficient parallel fault simulator for synchronous sequential circuits (1992)

HOPE is an efficient parallel fault simulator for synchronous sequential circuits that employs the parallel version of the single fault propagation technique. HOPE is based on an earlier fault simulator railed PROOFS, which employs several heuristics to efficiently drop faults and to avoid simulation of many inactive faults. In this paper, we propose three new techniques that substantially speed up parallel fault simulation: (1) reduction of faults simulated in parallel through mapping nonstem faults to stem faults, (2) a new fault injection method called functional fault injection, and (3) a combination of a static fault ordering method and a dynamic fault ordering method. Based on our experiments, our fault simulator, HOPE, which incorporates the proposed techniques, is about 1.6 times faster than PROOFS for 16 benchmark circuits.
VESICULAR‐ARBUSCULAR MYCORRHIZA IN NATURAL VEGETATION SYSTEMS (1976)

S ummary The intensity of vesicular‐arbuscular mycorrhizal infection was assessed in the major vegetation types of east‐central England. All of the most important species of grassland, scrub and woodland were mycorrhizal and each individual of any species normally carried a heavy VA infection. Members of the Gramineae were particularly heavily infected. In limestone grassland, infection extended to members of the Cyperaceae and Juncaceae. Infection levels were high throughout the year, the highest levels occurring in the most nutrient‐stressed situations. Mycorrhiza develops soon after germination, often while seedlings are still in the cotyledon stage. Since numbers of viable Glomus type spores are low, infection is thought to arise from root to root contact rather than from spores. The Ecological implications of the widespread infection are discussed.
Modelo teórico para la integración de las emociones en el campo del comportamiento organizacional (2020)

Las emociones tienen un papel muy importante en las organizaciones empresariales, desde la influencia en la actitud y conducta de sus miembros hasta la medición del éxito de la misma. Lamentablemente, las dificultades para el estudio de las emociones son varias; destaca la dificultad de integración de las emociones en el campo del comportamiento organizacional. El presente artículo intenta abordar dicho problema desde el punto de vista de la toma de decisiones, utilizando el modelo teórico propuesto por Juan Antonio Pérez López, el cual se encuadra dentro del paradigma del management cybernetics. El aporte del trabajo está dado en mostrar cómo el modelo de Pérez López logra introducir la variable emoción o afecto desde el interior de la teoría, a través de diferentes cons- tructos (motivación espontánea, satisfacción percepcional, satisfacción estructural, etc.) que permiten una explicación mínima pero valiosa del comportamiento organizacional.
High-Throughput Relative DPPH Radical Scavenging Capacity Assay (2006)

A high-throughput relative 2,2-diphenyl-1-picryhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging capacity (RDSC) assay was developed and validated in the present study. This RDSC assay is easy to perform and has acceptable accuracy (90−110% recovery), precision [3.9−7.0% pooled relative standard deviation (RSD)], and reproducibility (2.2 and 3.5% interday and intraday RSD). This assay reports the RDSC values for antioxidant samples, which make it possible to compare the DPPH radical scavenging capacities of antioxidants determined in different laboratories. The RDSC assay may be conducted in aqueous alcohol and acetone for hydrophilic antioxidants or in the organic solvents for lipophilic antioxidants without solubilizing agents, which makes it possible to directly compare the radical scavenging capacities of hydrophilic and lipophilic antioxidants. In addition, the high-throughput RDSC assay could be utilized for EC50 value estimation. The high-throughput RDSC assay may be used for screening and investigating potential natural antioxidants. Keywords: Radical scavenging capacity; RDSC, DPPH radical; antioxidant activity; high-throughput; AUC

Self-Assembled Biomimetic Superhydrophobic CaCO<sub>3</sub> Coating Inspired from Fouling Mineralization in Geothermal Water (2011)

Inspired from fouling self-mineralization in geothermal water, a novel biomimetic cactuslike CaCO(3) coating with superhydrophobic features is reported in this letter. The structure, morphologies, and phases of the CaCO(3) coating were characterized by X-ray diffractometry, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, and infrared spectrophotometry. After prenucleation treatment, a continuous cactuslike CaCO(3) coating with hierarchical nano- and microstructures was self-assembled on stainless steel surfaces after immersion in simulated geothermal water at 50 °C for 48 h. After being modified with a low-surface-energy monolayer of sodium stearate, the as-prepared coating exhibited superhydrophobic properties with a water contact angle of 158.9° and a sliding angle of 2°. Therefore, this work might open up a new application field of geothermal resources and provide insight into designing multidimensional structures with functional applications, including superhydrophobic surfaces.
Far-field pattern of electron-bombarded semiconductor lasers (1967)

A sheet-like laser beam is observed from electron-bombarded CdS and ZnO single crystals. The far-field pattern extends 360° in azimuth and 5 to 10° perpendicular to this plane. The emission is in a plane perpendicular to the c axis of the crystal and is a result of total internal reflection from four sides of the crystal cavity.
Using principal component analysis to develop a single-parameter screening tool for metabolic syndrome (2010)

The Bureau of Health Promotion, Department of Health, Taiwan, had recommended the use of WC ≥ 90 cm for males and ≥ 80 cm for females as singular criteria for the determination of central obesity instead of multiple parameters. The present investigation suggests that FPCS or EWA is a good predictor of MS among the Taiwanese. However, the use of FPCS is not computationally feasible in practice. Therefore, we suggest that EWA be used in clinical practice as a simple parameter for the identification of those at risk of MS.
Database and Selection Method for Portable Power Sources (2005)

A method for selecting power sources including batteries, fuel cells and solar cells is developed. It is based on matching the physical and performance characteristics of power sources, such as weight, volume, capacity, voltage and cost, to the requirements of the given task. Physical and performance characteristics are collated from manufacturers' data and a database is built using advanced selection software. This allows the construction of performance maps in terms of voltage, maximum current, mass energy density, volume energy density and cost, giving a systematic comparison of different kinds of power sources. The use of the method as a preliminary design tool is demonstrated in a case study on the selection of batteries for mobile phones.
Construction and Evaluation of Internal Control DNA for PCR Amplification of <i>Chlamydia trachomatis</i> DNA from Urine Samples (2003)

An internal control DNA (ICD) with the same primer binding sequences as the target Chlamydia trachomatis DNA was constructed and evaluated in a PCR assay with immunoenzymatic detection. One hundred urine specimens were tested, and 23 were found to contain inhibitors of the PCR, if not subjected to DNA extraction prior to amplification. Coamplification and detection of the ICD appeared to be a useful method for estimating the effects of inhibitors on C. trachomatis DNA amplification.
Synergistic anti-cancer effects of capsaicin and 3,3'-diindolylmethane in human colorectal cancer, involvement of p53 and NF-kB (2014)

Cancer is the second leading cause of death in the United States and a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. A promising area of cancer research is focused on chemoprevention by nutritional compounds. Epidemiological studies have shown a strong negative correlation between fruit, vegetable and spice intake and rates of cancer. Although individual active compounds have demonstrated significant anti-cancer activity, an emerging area of research is focusing on the combination of multiple dietary compounds on cancer that act synergistically to exert greater effects. In the current study, we evaluated potential synergistic effects of capsaicin, an active compound from red chili peppers, in combination with 3,3'-Diindolylmethane (DIM), from cruciferous vegetables. A synergistic induction of apoptosis and inhibition of cell proliferation was observed in multiple cancer cell lines treated with combination of capsaicin and DIM. We also observed that these two compounds activated transcriptional activity of p53 and NF-kB synergistically. Combination treatment stabilized nuclear p53 and up- or down-regulated expression of several target genes that are downstream of NF-kB and p53. The present study suggests capsaicin and DIM work synergistically to inhibit cell proliferation and induce apoptosis in colorectal cancer through modulating transcriptional activity of NF-kB, p53 and expression of their target genes associated with apoptosis and cell cycle.
Towards Monolithic Integration of Nonlinear Optical Frequency Conversion (2010)

The components for monolithic integration of an all-optical frequency converter in GaAs-AlGaAs superlattice-core material system are developed. The wavelength routing is demonstrated with a di-chroic multimode interference coupler, which has minimum crosstalk of -12 and -7 dB at the signal and pump wavelengths, respectively. Continuous-wave stimulated emission at 801 nm has been achieved at room-temperature in a half ring superlattice laser, which can be exploited as an on-chip pump laser sources.

Responses of Illinois Ring-Necked Pheasant Populations to Block Roadside Management (1986)

Ring-necked pheasant (Phasianus colchicus) nesting and population trends were studied from 1967 through 1984 on a block roadside management area in Illinois, the 5,182-ha Ford County Management Unit (FCMU). Vegetation was developed as breeding habitat on roadsides, and mowing voluntarily was delayed by farmers to minimize nest destruction. Compared with a nearby reference area, pheasant abundance on the FCMU was numerically low prior to management (1967-69) and was 2-3 x greater beginning in 1970. The juxtaposition of other key habitats in the land mosaic influenced the use of roadsides by nesting hens. Under a diverse farming situation, undisturbed roadside cover and other landscape features had a synergistic effect on local pheasant abundance. The effects of roadside management were such that the boom phase in regional pheasant trends were amplified, and subsequent declines related to land use and severe winters were moderated. J. WILDL. MANAGE. 50(4):525-532 Numerous disturbance factors interact with breeding populations of pheasants ultimately affecting reproduction, as well as survival, during this critical season (Warner and Etter 1985). Over the intensively row cropped Midwest, however, there have been few long-term experimental attempts to control disturbances and to gauge the effects of management strategies on pheasant demography. Seeded, undisturbed roadside vegetation in Illinois is attractive to nesting pheasants. Warner et al. (unpubl. data) reported that nest densities in managed roadsides generally were higher than in other cover types and that, from 1963 through 1972, 29% of 806 nests on roadsides on the Sibley Study Area (SSA), Illinois, were successful. Variations in the frequency of nesting on roadsides were, in part, related to site specific characteristics of the tracts (Warner et al., unpubl. data). Because mowing of experimental roadsides on the SSA was controlled by research staff with only a few managed tracts (Joselyn et al. 1968), the FCMU was established to evaluate more of a regional scheme of development (a block of 4.5 x 4.5 general land office [GLO] sections, each GLO section = 259 ha); nearly all road rights-of-way were seeded and left unmowed through 1 August. The objective of this study was to consider the long-term impact of block roadside management on pheasant abundance. In addition to population trends, the ecology of pheasant nesting was studied in relation to some key properties of the land mosaic. We acknowledge the following staff of the Ill. Nat. Hist. Surv.

Luteal insufficiency in first trimester (2013)

Luteal phase insufficiency is one of the reasons for implantation failure and has been responsible for miscarriages and unsuccessful assisted reproduction. Luteal phase defect is seen in women with polycystic ovaries, thyroid and prolactin disorder. Low progesterone environment is created iatrogenically due to interventions in assisted reproduction. Use of gonadotrophin-releasing hormone analogs to prevent the LH surge and aspiration of granulosa cells during the oocyte retrieval may impair the ability of corpus luteum to produce progesterone. Treatment of the underlying disorder and use of progestational agents like progesterone/human chorionic gonadotrophin have been found to be effective in women with a history of recurrent miscarriage. There has been no proved beneficial effect of using additional agents like ascorbic acid, estrogen, prednisolone along with progesterone. Despite their widespread use, further studies are required to establish the optimal treatment. Literature review and analysis of published studies on luteal phase support.
Mechanistic Origin of Transient Electric Birefringence Anomaly of Clay Mineral Dispersion (2002)

The transient electric birefringence (TEB) anomaly is known for more than 40 years. Despite many experimental results, there is up to now no model describing the TEB anomaly on a molecular level. In this paper, we will present a systematic analysis of the effect of external parameters such as adsorption, solid or ion concentration on the anomaly. For the experiments, we use a special inversed charge clay mineral. This material shows, compared to pure clay minerals, the advantage of enhanced insensitivity to salt-induced aggregation. The results reveal that there is no indication of multiparticle processes. For the existence of the anomaly, both presence of salt and suitable surface conditions are necessary. The disappearance of the anomaly upon adsorption of nonionic substances is due to a change of permanent-like dipole direction from perpendicular to parallel to the clay mineral surface. The explanation model proposed is based on permanent-like dipole moments originating from statistical ion fluctuations leading to different numbers of condensed counterions in the Stern layers of the two sides of the clay disk. Calculated values agree well with experimental quantities. When the mobility of the counterions is high, the mechanism produces a dipole with a dominant perpendicular component. A decrease in counterion mobility leads to a larger parallel component.
Fluticasone at different doses for chronic asthma in adults and children (2005)

Effects of fluticasone are dose dependent but relatively small. At dose ratios of 1:2, there are significant differences in favour of the higher dose in morning peak flow across the low dose range. The clinical impact of these differences is open to interpretation. Patients with moderate disease achieve similar levels of asthma control on medium doses of fluticasone (400 to 500 microg/day) as they do on high doses (800 to 1000 microg/day). More work in severe asthma would help to confirm that doses of FP above 500 microg/day confer greater benefit in this subgroup than doses of around 200 microg/day. In oral corticosteroid-dependent asthmatics, reductions in prednisolone requirement may be gained with FP 2000 microg/day.
Shared reality meeting - a collaborative augmented reality environment (2003)

In this demonstration, we present an augmented reality (AR) system which allows multiple participants to interact with two- and three-dimensional data using tangible user interfaces. Interactively controllable 2D and 3D information are seamlessly integrated into the system. The system is based on earlier research work of the authors and is now commercially available for industrial use.
Review of Berliner & Biddle "The Manufactured Crisis" (1996)

In a provocative new book, The Manufactured Crisis, David Berliner and Bruce Biddle make four sweeping claims about U.S. achievement: there never was a test score decline, today's students are "out-achieving their parents substantially" (p. 33), U.S. students "stack up very well" in international assessments (p. 63), and the general education crisis is a right-wing fabrication. As a progressive, I'm sympathetic to their concerns, but as a scholar who specializes in this material, I find their analysis deeply flawed and misleading. They mischaracterize the test score decline data, mishandle the international findings, and fail to acknowledge students' continuing low levels of academic achievement.
