Experiments on the spreading of silicone oil droplets on horizontal rotating plates (2014)

Abstract The spreading of liquid films is involved in many coating processes, e.g. in the spin‐coating process. To achieve a high quality of the coating, the spreading liquid layer should be thin and homogeneous. Instabilities at the wetting front may lead to an inhomogeneous thickness of the coating layer and to uncoated areas. In this article the spreading of perfectly‐wetting silicone oil droplets with viscosity of 100 mPa s on rotating glass plates is discussed. A Schlieren system is set up to observe the wetted area and a traversed chromatic confocal distance sensor is used to measure the contour of the droplet. The experimental data are presented and compared to an analytical model which is derived from lubrication theory and valid for thin liquid layers. (© 2014 Wiley‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)

Emulsion Polymerization in a Loop Reactor: Effect of the Operation Conditions (1999)

The effect of several operation conditions (temperature, residence time, recycle ratio, initiator concentration and emulsifier concentration) on the performance of a continuous loop reactor during the redox initiated emulsion copolymerization of vinyl acetate and Veova 10 was investigated. The study was carried out under industrial-like conditions, namely, high solids content latexes (55wt%) and high conversions (~90%). Both polymerization mechanisms and practical issues such as production rate and product quality are discussed.
623-P: Impaired Nrf2 Function Corresponds with Delayed Wound Healing in Diabetes (2019)

Imbalance in the production of reactive oxygen species predisposes diabetic patients to delayed wound healing, but treatments that directly address this imbalance are lacking. Nrf2 and its natural inhibitor, Keap1, maintain redox homeostasis. However, the exact contribution Nrf2 makes to healing is unclear. Here we demonstrate that Nrf2 loss of function in discreet layers of the epidermis corresponds with substantial oxidative stress burdens and a concomitant delay in healing human tissue. Compared to nondiabetic human epidermal keratinocytes (NHEKs), diabetic human epidermal keratinocytes (DHEKs) exhibit a pro-inflammatory cytokine profile and decreased transcription of downstream antioxidant genes. Silencing Keap1 in DHEKs led to restoration of a cytokine profile conducive to healing (5-fold increase in TGF-b, p=0.0251, and 2-fold reduction in TNFa, p=0.019), a recovery in the expression of antioxidant genes, normalization of oxidative stress loads, and improvement in keratinocyte proliferation compared to siNS-DHEKs. Keap-1 silenced DHEKs recover the ability to migrate in scratch assays with significant improvement over siNS-DHEKs as early as 2 hours post-injury (1255 vs. 1560 mm2, p=0.014). In surgical specimens of wounded nondiabetic skin, Keap1 levels decrease, intranuclear Nrf2 increases, resulting in increased antioxidant gene expression to maintain redox homeostasis. However, in the wounds of diabetic patients, Keap1 remains elevated with a corresponding decrease in active Nrf2. In particular, the basal epidermis of wounded diabetic skin demonstrates a 77% decrease (p=&lt;0.0001) in the expression of Nrf2. We present evidence that human diabetic epidermal Nrf2 dysfunction likely coincides with that of wounded tissue and results in reduced antioxidant gene expression, a rise in reactive oxygen species, and impaired re-epithelization. Exploiting the Nrf2 pathway may show great potential as a therapeutic strategy to minimize pathologic wound burden in the diabetic population. Disclosure J. Kuhn: None. J.A. David: None. A.P.

PaCO2 Six months after the Initiation of Long-term Noninvasive Ventilation in Patients with COPD (2011)

A relatively low 6-mo PaCO(2) value was predictive of long-term use of NPPV. The target values of 6-mo PaCO(2) may, therefore, be less than 60 mmHg in COPD patients with extremely severe hypercapnia, although more prospective studies are needed.

Concise Total Synthesis of Elliptoxanthone A by Utilizing Aromatic Oxy-Cope Rearrangement for Efficient C-Isoprenylation of Xanthone Skeleton (2016)

The first total synthesis of elliptoxanthone A, a naturally occurring isoprenylated xanthone, has been accomplished in 28% overall yield in 12 steps from commercially available 3′,4′-difluoroacetophenone by utilizing the novel C-isoprenylation of xanthone skeleton via the anion-accelerated aromatic oxy-Cope rearrangement.
Dielectric supported bimetal layer configuration for long-range surface plasmon polariton interference–based subwavelength lithography (2015)

Long-range surface plasmon polariton (LRSPP) interference in a dielectric supported bimetal layer configuration is analyzed for nanoscale periodic feature fabrication. The single metal layer in a conventional configuration has been split into a bimetal layer configuration supported by a dielectric layer to enable LRSPP interference in different layers. It is shown that the configuration can be implemented in two different ways to record the interference pattern with high exposure depth and high contrast. Subwavelength periodic pattern having a half-pitch resolution of 65 nm at 446-nm wavelength is illustrated with the proposed two-beam and four-beam LRSPP interference configurations.
Drug-Induced Interstitial Nephritis (1985)

Drug-induced interstitial nephritis is being recognized with increasing frequency. Pharmacologic agents responsible for inducing this entity include antibiotics, diuretics, and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. We recently examined five patients with glomerular disease and drug-induced interstitial nephritis. In three patients prior biopsy specimens documented their glomerular disease (membranous nephropathy, crescentic glomerulonephritis, and presumptive lipoid nephrosis). A second biopsy specimen showed acute interstitial nephritis and the glomerular lesion. Two additional patients had single biopsy specimens demonstrating acute interstitial nephritis and either membranous nephropathy or crescentic glomerulonephritis. Our cases emphasize the need for recognizing this complex pattern of renal disease and the difficulties encountered in rendering a proper diagnosis.
Infrared spectroscopic determination of the kinetic data of the polymerization of aliphatic bismaleimides (1974)

Bismaleimides polymerize at elevated temperatures, forming highly crosslinked, high temperature-resistant polymers. From the decrease of the ν(HC) band at 3100 cm−1, rate constants and activation energies of the polymerization of four homologous aliphatic bismaleimides were determined. Up to a 20–30% conversion, the polymerization is pseudofirst order. An almost linear correlation between the activation energy and the number of methylene groups in the sequence between the maleimide residues was found.
Knudsen Compressor Performance at Low Pressures (2005)

The Knudsen Compressor is a solid‐state micro/meso‐scale gas roughing pump based on the rarefied gas phenomena of thermal transpiration. Knudsen Compressors operate by imposing a temperature gradient across a high porosity, low thermal conductivity transpiration membrane, typically a silicon aerogel membrane. Previous optimization studies have concluded that significant reductions of both energy consumption and device volume per unit throughput and pressure difference can be achieved when each stage of the cascade operates with a Knudsen Number based on the mean pore radius of approximately one. Perforated aerogels (using the same bulk aerogel material, but with machined arrays of properly sized parallel capillaries) are appealing candidate low‐pressure transpiration membranes and are the focus of this investigation. Conventional drilling techniques using micro drills have successfully demonstrated perforated aerogel with pore diameters ranging from 210μm to 1mm. This range of pore sizes corresponds to efficient Knudsen Compressor operation between roughly 1 Torr and 10 mTorr. The other issue at low pressures is the larger Kn of the connector section which can introduce “reverse” thermal transpiration. Two conventionally perforated carbon doped aerogel membranes, with the mean pore diameters of 210 μm and 380 μm, have been tested at the operating pressure range of 2 Torr to 10 mTorr. Comparison with the predicated results showed the evidence of rarefied gas effects such as “reverse” thermal transpiration.
A new method of Bayesian causal inference in non-stationary environments (2020)

Bayesian inference is the process of narrowing down the hypotheses (causes) to the one that best explains the observational data (effects). To accurately estimate a cause, a considerable amount of data is required to be observed for as long as possible. However, the object of inference is not always constant. In this case, a method such as exponential moving average (EMA) with a discounting rate is used to improve the ability to respond to a sudden change; it is also necessary to increase the discounting rate. That is, a trade-off is established in which the followability is improved by increasing the discounting rate, but the accuracy is reduced. Here, we propose an extended Bayesian inference (EBI), wherein human-like causal inference is incorporated. We show that both the learning and forgetting effects are introduced into Bayesian inference by incorporating the causal inference. We evaluate the estimation performance of the EBI through the learning task of a dynamically changing Gaussian mixture model. In the evaluation, the EBI performance is compared with those of the EMA and a sequential discounting expectation-maximization algorithm. The EBI was shown to modify the trade-off observed in the EMA.
Expression of Epstein-Barr virus lytically related genes in African Burkitt's lymphoma: Correlation with patient response to therapy (1999)

A study on the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-associated malignancy (endemic) Burkitt's lymphoma (BL) was initiated on fine-needle-aspiration biopsies from 46 proven BL cases in Malawi. Gene expression that might correlate with patient serology (where high levels of antibodies to lytically related genes are commonly observed) was explored. In two-thirds of the cases, we identified the EBV BZLF1 replication activator intermediate early protein ZEBRA in varying quantities and to varying extents in cells by immuno-cytochemistry. The early lytic-cycle gene transcript BHLF1 was assessed positively by solid-phase hybridisation in over half of the same tumours. Evidence of transcription of these genes was confirmed on a smaller number of surgically removed fresh biopsies by RT-PCR. We asked whether our findings, which are generally counter to the established notion that EBV gene expression in BLs is restricted to the latent function, EBNA1, might offer some explanation for the differential responses to chemotherapy observed among African patients. Where the duration of follow-up was sufficient to assign the cases (37 in number) to one of 3 categories, namely, complete, partial or no response, a significant correlation between expression of the viral function ZEBRA and a positive patient response to treatment was found. Lack of this was associated with poor prognosis. Clinical data and EBV gene expression results support the postulate of subgroups of African BLs, the intermediate early antigen providing a marker of potential use in patient management.
Postsynaptic 5‐HT<sub>1B</sub> receptors modulate electroshock‐induced generalised seizures in rats (2005)

1. Although an important regulatory role for serotonin (5-HT) in seizure activation and propagation is well established, relatively little is known of the function of specific 5-HT receptor subtypes on seizure modulation. 2. The aim of the present study was to investigate the role of 5-HT(1A, 1B and 1D) receptors in modulating generalised seizures in the rat maximal electroshock seizure threshold (MEST) test. 3. The mixed 5-HT receptor agonists SKF 99101 (5-20 mg kg(-1) i.p.) and RU 24969 (1-5 mg kg(-1) i.p.), 0.5 h pretest, both produced marked dose-related increases in seizure threshold. These agents share high affinity for 5-HT(1A, 1B and 1D) receptors. 4. Antiseizure effects induced by submaximal doses of these agonists were maintained following p-chlorophenylalanine (150 mg kg(-1) i.p. x 3 days)-induced 5-HT depletion. 5. The anticonvulsant action of both SKF 99101 (15 mg kg(-1) i.p.) and RU 24969 (2.5 mg kg(-1) i.p.) was dose-dependently abolished by the selective 5-HT1B receptor antagonist SB-224289 (0.1-3 mg kg(-1) p.o., 3 h pretest) but was unaffected by the selective 5-HT1A receptor antagonist WAY 100635 (0.01-0.3 mg kg(-1) s.c., 1 h pretest). This indicates that 5-HT1B receptors are primarily involved in mediating the anticonvulsant properties of these agents. 6. In addition, the ability of the 5-HT(1B/1D) receptor antagonist GR 127935 (0.3-3 mg kg(-1) s.c., 60 min pretest) to dose-dependently inhibit SKF 99101-induced elevation of seizure threshold also suggests possible downstream involvement of 5-HT1D receptors in the action of this agonist, although confirmation awaits the identification of a selective 5-HT1D receptor antagonist. 7. Overall, these data demonstrate that stimulation of postsynaptic 5-HT1B receptors inhibits electroshock-induced seizure spread in rats.

Different outcomes in patients achieving complete or partial viral load suppression on antiretroviral therapy. (2000)

Plasma VL at nadir after beginning highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) predicts the 1-year outcome. The achievement of levels of viremia <40 copies/mL are desirable during antiretroviral therapy if prolonged benefit is to be obtained. Because more than two thirds of persons with residual viremia do not show drug resistance, intensification strategies should be investigated for those patients with a good virologic response but without complete suppression during the first 6 months on HAART.
The Impact of the Severity of Vision Loss on Vision-Related Quality of Life in India: An Evaluation of the IND-VFQ-33 (2011)

Using a psychometrically valid IND-VFQ, only severe VI and blindness led to a clinically meaningful decline in vision-specific mobility and activity limitation. This finding reflects the current protocol for cataract surgery referral in developing or transitional countries, where priority is given to patients with at least moderate to severe VI.

A Fatal Case of West Nile Virus Infection in a Bone Marrow Transplant Recipient (2003)

West Nile virus (WNV) can cause severe, potentially fatal neurological illnesses, which include encephalitis, meningitis, Guillain-Barré syndrome, and anterior myelitis. Because of the short viremic phase, WNV infection is most commonly diagnosed by detection of immunoglobulin M antibody to WNV in serum or cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). We describe a patient with T cell lymphoma who had undergone a T cell-depleted bone marrow transplantation and developed fatal WNV infection. The results of serological tests of blood samples and of CSF tests were negative. Diagnosis was made postmortem by a positive result of reverse-transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (ABI 7700; TaqMan) for WNV in stored CSF and serum samples.
Fast Calculation of Radiated Emissions from Arbitrarily Shaped PCB with IC/LSI (2007)

This paper describes fast calculation of radiated emissions from an arbitrarily shaped printed circuit board (PCB). The radiated emissions from the PCB edge are calculated by taking into account magnetic surface current based on the field equivalent principle. The electric field at the PCB edge is provided by a fast algorithm the authors have proposed for power-bus resonance in the PCB. The calculation of radiated emission was completed within a few minutes and in good agreement with finite difference time domain (FDTD) calculation. In addition, an EMI simulation was demonstrated by using a linear macro model of IC/LSI. The calculation results were found to be in good agreement with the measurements.

Direct Observation of the Threshold for Electron Heating in Silicon Dioxide (1986)

Vacuum-emission and carrier-separation techniques, together with novel metal-oxide-semiconductor structures, have been used to observe the threshold field for the onset of electron heating in silicon dioxide. The magnitude of this electric field is \ensuremath{\cong} 1.5-2.0 MV/cm, independent of oxide thickness and composition. This value is consistent with all of the current theoretical calculations. A minimum average electronic energy of \ensuremath{\cong} 1.0 eV is shown to be necessary to observe emission of the electrons into vacuum.
