<i>Bordetella pertussis</i> adenylate cyclase inactivation by the host cell (1989)

Bordetella pertussis produces a calmodulin-dependent adenylate cyclase (AC) which acts as a toxin capable of penetrating eukaryotic cells and generating high levels of intracellular cyclic AMP. Transfer of target cells into B. pertussis AC-free medium leads to a rapid decay in the intracellular AC activity, implying that the invasive enzyme is unstable in the host cytoplasm. We report here that treatment of human lymphocytes with a glycolysis inhibitor and an uncoupler of oxidative phosphorylation completely blocked the intracellular inactivation of B. pertussis AC. Lymphocyte lysates inactivated all forms of B. pertussis AC in the presence of exogenous ATP. This inactivation was associated with degradation of an 125I-labelled 200 kDa form of B. pertussis AC. It appears that ATP is required for the proteolytic pathway, but not as an energy source, since non-hydrolysable ATP analogues supported inactivation and complete degradation of the enzyme. The possibility that binding of ATP to B. pertussis AC renders it susceptible to degradation by the host cell protease is discussed.
E. M. Forster: The Isolation of the Reader (1993)

E. M. Forster's critical output was principally limited to Aspects of the Novel (1928)1 and a selection of various journalistic articles and essays, Abinger Harvest (1967).2 In these works Forster articulates a problematic attack on some of the modernist enterprises, in particular those of the avant-garde, by means of a criticism that is secured in a bourgeois-humanist approach towards literary evaluation. He employs vague terminology in his critical writings, praising a form of literature, which he sees as exemplified by Proust, which can ably discuss 'life'. Such a view would appear to privilege realism over other forms but, as will be discussed, the status of realism is a problematic area in Forster's critical idiom. Forster is not just an evaluator of literature, but is also an interpreter of the critical tradition, and it will be suggested here that it is possible to draw out a reading of Forster's 'The Machine Stops'3 which re-defines that tradition in terms of a partially unresolvable dialectic; and that such a reading is possible by virtue of Forster's recognition of a dialectical antagonism between the processes of literature and the function of criticism. The effect of this is to suggest that Forster's radical contribution can be seen as an exposure of the discontinuous elements at play within the apparent coherence of the notion of the British critical Tradition: 'in the rather ramshackly course that lies ahead of us, we cannot consider fiction by periods, we must not contemplate the stream of time. Another image better suits our powers: that of all the novelists writing their novels at once' (AN, p. 8).KeywordsRadical PoliticsCritical TraditionPage ReferenceApparent CoherenceCritical PracticeThese keywords were added by machine and not by the authors.

Computerized Adaptive Mastery Tests as Expert Systems (1992)

Expert systems can be used to aid decision making. A computerized adaptive test is one kind of expert system, though not commonly recognized as such. A new approach, termed EXSPRT, was devised that combines uncertain inference in expert systems with sequential probability ratio test stopping rules. Two versions of EXSPRT were developed, one with random selection of items (EXSPRT-R) and one with intelligent selection (EXSPRT-I). Two empirical studies were conducted in which these two new methods were compared to the traditional SPRT and to an adaptive mastery testing (AMT) approach based on item response theory (IRT). The EXSPRT-I tended to be more efficient than the AMT, EXSPRT-R and SPRT models in terms of average test lengths. Although further research is needed, the EXSPRT-I initially appears to be a strong alternative to both IRT- and SPRT-based adaptive tests for making categorical decisions about examinee mastery of single instructional objectives. The EXSPRT-I is clearly less complex than IRT, both conceptually and mathematically. It also appears to require many fewer examinees to establish empirically a rule base when compared to the large numbers required to estimate parameters for item response functions in the IRT model.
Tear film MMP accumulation and corneal disease (2001)

The MMPs that accumulate in tears are mainly derived from granulocytes. This may be effected by autoimmune diseases that involve ocular tissue or by ocular diseases that induce an inflammatory response.

Balancing Active Objects on a Peer to Peer Infrastructure (2006)

We present a contribution on dynamic load balancing for distributed and parallel object-oriented applications. We specially target on peer to peer systems and its capability to distribute parallel computation, which transfer large amount of data (called intensive-communicated applications) among large number of processors. We explain the relation between active objects and processors load. Using this relation, and defining an order relation among processors, we describe our active object balance algorithm as a dynamic load balance algorithm, focusing on minimizing the time when active objects are waiting for the completion of remote calls. We benchmark a Jacobi parallel application with several load balancing algorithms. Finally, we study results from these experimentation in order to show that a peer to peer load balancing obtains the best performance in terms of migration decisions and scalability.
Addressing Extreme Disadvantage through Investment in Capability Development (2007)

Indigenous Australians are the most disadvantaged of our citizens. In addressing this blight on our society, it is necessary to take a broader view of wellbeing than just income inequalities and consider opportunities and capabilities. Improved education and health will be necessary for Indigenous Australians to have the life choices available to other Australians.

The distribution and identification of dangerously venomous Australian terrestrial snakes (1999)

The identification of dangerous Australian snakes is important in instituting therapy for envenomation. Despite the availability of a number of identification guides with varying degrees of generality, identification can be problematic for several reasons. These include a diversity of common names, many of which are inappropriate or regionally applied to different species, identification keys that focus on variable features, intraspecific variation and interspecific convergence in colouration, and recent changes in scientific nomenclature of species and genera. Geographic distribution of the dangerously venomous species can be a useful aid to identification, by limiting the range of options in a region. However, delineation of the limits of distribution relies on fine scale mapping beyond the resolution of most identification guides. This article provides a summary of the geographic limits of the dangerously venomous Australian snakes, with particular emphasis on major population centres, and clarifies some problems in identification, particularly among brown-coloured snakes.
Complex temporal sequence learning based on short-term memory (1990)

An approach to storing of temporal sequences that deals with complex temporal sequences directly is presented. Short-term memory (STM) is modeled by units comprised of recurrent excitatory connections between two neurons. A dual-neuron model is proposed. By applying the Hebbian learning rule at each synapse and a normalization rule among all synaptic weights of a neuron, it is shown that a quantity called the input potential increases monotonically with sequence presentation, and that the neuron can only be fired when its input signals are arranged in a specific sequence. These sequence-detecting neurons form the basis for a model of complex sequence recognition that can tolerate distortions of the learned sequences. A recurrent network of two layers is provided for reproducing complex sequences.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>
Optimizing Photon Mapping Using Multiple Photon Maps for Irradiance Estimates (2003)

The photon mapping method is used extensively in global illumination to render photorealistic pictures. We describe a simple optimization technique for calculating the indirect illumination by modifying the photon mapping method. Using our method the photon maps are divided into several photon maps based on the topology of the polygons in the scene. This modification of the photon mapping method has several advantages compared to the traditional method. We demonstrate that the indirect illumination can be calculated faster using our method.
GridSphere: an advanced portal framework (2004)

In traditional Web application development, very few libraries exist to make portal development easy. In general, many homegrown and vertical solutions exist and very little code is shared or reused. Finally with the emergence of some critical new Web technologies, Web application development is focusing more on reusable solutions and software. The GridSphere portal framework provides a standards based portal for the easy development of modular Web components, called portlets. Portlets are defined by a standard API and provide a model for developing new portal components that can be shared and exchanged by various portlet containers. GridSphere provides both a portlet container, a collection of core portlets and an advanced user interface library that makes developing new portlets easier for application developers. This work discusses briefly the GridSphere portal architecture including the layout engine, support for two portlet API implementations and the portlet services model.
Back Injuries among Nursing Personnel (1992)

Reducing the total number of work related back injuries among nurses is important, but reducing those injuries that are severe enough to result in lost time and/or disability is critical. Results of this study indicate that female nurses in the early phases of assignment on long term care units are at greatest risk for back injury, but risk factors that relate significantly to the severity of the injury are tour of duty (evening) and weight of the nurse (200 + pounds). Recommendations suggested by this study include: evaluation of lifting techniques and practices; orientation whenever assignments are changed; accurate assessment of nurse, client, and situation; and the regular use of an assessment tool which incorporates all of these factors.
Rapid Model Updating with Right-Time Data—Ensuring Models Remain Evergreen for Improved Reservoir Management (2008)

Abstract History matching reservoir models to production data has been a challenge for asset teams since the early days of reservoir simulation. Keeping these models evergreen as production data continues to arrive, knowing when a re-history match is required and being able to re-history match easily and efficiently is also a major challenge which is often not addressed in a timely manner. This need is becoming even more pressing as real-time reservoir performance data is increasingly available. Decisions can now be made with the support of the good quality real-time data from the reservoir usually in the form of pressure data from downhole gauges and rate data from multiphase meters. With the recent integration of existing technologies, a rapid model updating workflow is now possible. The history matching workflow that was once a discrete process can now be a computer assisted continuous process. Using statistically-based assisted history-matching technology in conjunction with real-time data acquisition, data monitoring, and reservoir simulation software, new production data can be quickly assimilated into the reservoir model. Real-time data from the field measurement devices is filtered for consumption by the reservoir modeling software and compared with the forecasts from the reservoir simulator to determine if re-history matching is required. The new data can be added to the history file and the model (revised if necessary) can be used in operational performance optimization. This rapid model updating workflow can be run semi-automatically on a continuous basis as new production data is gathered, thereby keeping reservoir models evergreen and providing the most up-to-date basis for the making of important reservoir management decisions.
Evaluation on Anti-hepatitis Viral Activity of Vitis vinifer L (2010)

Suosuo grape (Vitis vinifer L) is traditionally used as a therapeutic agent for measles and hepatitis by the ethnic Uighurs. This work aimed to investigate the anti-HBV effect of total triterpene (VTT), total flavonoids (VTF) and total polysaccharides (VTP) from Suosuo grape, and their synergistic effects were also tested. The viral antigens of cellular secretion, HBsAg and HBeAg, were determined by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).The quantity of HBV-DNA released in the supernatant was assayed by real-time PCR. It was found that it effectively suppressed the secretion of HBsAg and HBeAg from HepG2.2.15 cells in a dose-dependent manner, as well as the HBV DNA. The results of orthogonal design experiment showed that the combination of VTT 20 μg/mL, VTF 50 μg/mL and VTP 50 μg/mL had the best optimistic inhibitory effects on HBeAg secretion.
An efficient transaction processing method on the distributed database (2016)

Distributed system have shown its good robustness, extensibility and effectiveness in the processing, storage and transmission of large data. Now with the expansion of the amount of data and application, it has become a challenging task to ensure its transaction in a distributed and heterogeneous environment. The sub transactions of a distributed transaction not only need to be coordinated with the local other transactions, but also with other sub transactions that generated in the global manager. Based on the discussion of distributed transaction processing model and its transaction commit protocol, the failure reasons with the model analysis of general distributed transaction processing in the practical application in our information database system are given, based on the interface in a relational database management system and super text pre-treatment language of distributed transaction processing implementation method. The research results show that this distributed transaction processing method is reliable, and can simplify the implementation of global program.

Instability-induced osteoarthritis in the metacarpophalangeal joint of horses. (1999)

Desmotomy of the lateral collateral and lateral collateral sesamoidean ligaments induced instability similar to that of naturally acquired OA in horses, as documented by lameness, clinical signs of OA, osteophyte formation, and erosions of articular cartilage surfaces and score lines in OA joints.
Fabrication of a microfluidic platform for impedance analysis of cultured endothelial cell monolayers. (2005)

Assessing the functionality of the endothelium can provide insight into the initiation and formation of arterial diseases. One of the most important functions of the endothelial layer is its permeability. The integrity of the cell monolayer and its ability to transport molecules can be assessed in vitro by investigating the electrical impedance. In this study, a microfluidic platform was created using an electrode-patterned glass substrate and microfluidic poly(dimethyl siloxane) (PDMS) substrate. The electrode glass base of the structure was fabricated with platinum square electrodes of various sizes ranging from 10x10 ìm2 to 160x160 ìm2 and a larger, common counter electrode. Master microfluidic molds for PDMS casting were created by micro-milling Lexan® and photolithographically patterning SU-8. The microfluidic PDMS substrates reversibly and conformally bonded to the glass-electrode substrate. The microfluidic platforms were characterized by loading the microchannels with cell growth media alone, cell growth media and fibronectin, and cell growth media, fibronectin and human umbilical vein endothelial cells and obtaining impedance spectra. The experiments were performed under both no flow and flow conditions. Fibronectin did not significantly alter the collected impedance spectrum compared to media alone under no flow conditions. Under no flow conditions, impedance spectra measurements were able to detect the presence of cultured cells on the electrodes. The presence of fibronectin and various tested flow rates did not alter the impedance spectrum compared to media alone under static conditions. After further investigations, the microfluidic platform will become a versatile means of characterizing endothelial cell layer behavior.
Modification in the Proposed Diagnostic Criteria for Internet Addiction (2001)

The Internet is a new technology that has impacted the world and provided many benefits to its users. At the same time the Internet has had negative ramifications. Some people are becoming preoccupied with the Internet, are unable to control their use, and are jeopardizing employment and relationships. The concept of "Internet addiction" has been proposed as an explanation for uncontrollable, damaging use of this technology. Symptoms of excessive Internet use are compared to the criteria used to diagnose other addictions. In particular, pathological gambling is compared to problematic Internet use because of overlapping criteria. This article suggests some modifications to the diagnostic criteria that has been commonly proposed for Internet addiction.
Location of double bonds in polyenic long-chain carboxylic acids containing a conjugated diene unit (1988)

The electron impact mass spectra of poly(trimethylsiloxy) derivatives of polyenic long-chain carboxylic acids containing a conjugated diene unit clearly locate all double bonds. Abundant, diagnostic fragment ions arise from cleavage of the bonds at the positions of the original double bonds, combined with loss of a molecule of trimethylsilanol for every two vicinal trimethylsiloxy groups, with the exception of similar ions formed by rupture of an original conjugated double bond and containing the other conjugated double bond, which are weak or absent. The method was applied to several alkadienoic, alkatrienoic and alkatetraenoic acids containing a conjugated diene unit.
The Orientation Dependence of Epitaxial InAs[sub x]P[sub (1−x)] on GaAs (1970)

The orientation dependence of the deposition of epitaxial layers on using an , , indium, and vapor‐deposition system was studied. The total flow rate and the ratio of Group III to total Group V components were held constant while deposits were made simultaneously on (100), (110), (111)A and (111) substrates. Similar deposits were made under the same conditions on spherical, single‐crystal substrates. Growth on these spheres exhibited facets that correspond to slow growth and high‐perfection orientations. The sphere surface morphologies were similar to the planar substrates over much of the composition range.
Real-time Credit Card Fraud Detection Using Machine Learning (2019)

Credit card fraud events take place frequently and then result in huge financial losses [1]. The number of online transactions has grown in large quantities and online credit card transactions holds a huge share of these transactions. Therefore, banks and financial institutions offer credit card fraud detection applications much value and demand. Fraudulent transactions can occur in various ways and can be put into different categories. This paper focuses on four main fraud occasions in real-world transactions. Each fraud is addressed using a series of machine learning models and the best method is selected via an evaluation. This evaluation provides a comprehensive guide to selecting an optimal algorithm with respect to the type of the frauds and we illustrate the evaluation with an appropriate performance measure. Another major key area that we address in our project is real-time credit card fraud detection. For this, we take the use of predictive analytics done by the implemented machine learning models and an API module to decide if a particular transaction is genuine or fraudulent. We also assess a novel strategy that effectively addresses the skewed distribution of data. The data used in our experiments come from a financial institution according to a confidential disclosure agreement.
Blind Compensation of Frequency-Dependent I/Q Imbalance in Direct Conversion OFDM Receivers (2013)

In this letter, we investigate the problem of in-phase (I) and quadrature (Q) imbalance compensation in orthogonal frequency division multiplexing direct conversion receivers. A blind method is proposed to estimate and compensate for the frequency-dependent I/Q imbalance based on the kurtosis criterion. The global minimization of the kurtosis based cost function is proven. Simulation results are given to demonstrate that the proposed method is effective for mitigating intercarrier interference and achieves a lower symbol error rate compared to the existing methods.
