Relative Reliability of Five Serially Measured Markers for Prognosis of Progression in Prostate Cancer<xref ref-type="fn" rid="FN2">2</xref><xref ref-type="fn" rid="FN3">3</xref> (1986)

During an 8-year period, 1,065 serum specimens were collected from 79 patients with prostate cancer of stages B2 to D1 (group I) and 51 patients with newly diagnosed stage D2 prostate cancer (group II) to evaluate statistically the relative reliability of elevated tumor-associated markers for progressive disease in prostate cancer. Forty of the group I patients and 21 of the group II patients presented a clinical progression of disease during follow-up. With the use of Gail's modification of Cox's regression model, serial acid phosphatase (AcP), total alkaline phosphatase (TAP), bone alkaline phosphatase (BAP), prostatic acid phosphatase (PAP), and prostate-specific antigen (PA) were analyzed. Results from group I patients revealed that only PA (P = .0002) and PAP (P = .0684) were prognostically important markers for detection of imminent disease progression. However, all markers were prognostically important in group II patients. Comparative studies indicated that PA (P = .0052) and PAP (P = .0359) were the more reliable markers for group I patients, whereas PA (P less than .0001), BAP (P = .0007), and PAP (P = .0206) were the more reliable markers for group II patients. Multivariate analyses revealed that, after adjustment for the effect of PA, no other marker was significantly related to the risk of progression. Elevated PA levels were predictive of increased risk 6 months before disease progression in group I patients only (P less than .0001). Overall, the apparent order of prognostic reliability for disease progression was found to be PA greater than PAP greater than BAP greater than AcP greater than TAP.
Patient Advocacy At the End of Life (1995)

Caring for the competent, fragile, elderly patient at the end of life is becoming increasingly challenging. This case explores several ethical areas of concern that arise when caring for patients who have written durable powers of attorney for health care decisions and face life or death choices. Areas covered are informed consent with the elderly patient, the family's right to be involved in decision-making, futility of treatment, and the nurse's role as patient advocate during times of difficult decision-making. Recommendations for increased nursing intervention during these times are incorporated.

Abstract The iron complex-substituted psoralen (1) having a moiety capable of photochemically cross-linking to DNA and a DNA cleaving moiety was synthesized. The photoreaction of which is noniron complex of 1, with Col E1 plasmid DNA gave the covalently interstrand cross-linked DNA which was cleaved in the presence of FeSO4 and dithiothreitol under air.
VISA: a Virtual Interface Storage Architecture for Improved Network Performance (2006)

Virtual interface (VI) architecture provides user-level communication with high delivered bandwidth and low latency. It shortens the path of data transfer and reduces the software overhead between a high performance CPU/memory subsystem and a high performance network. Virtual interface storage architecture (VISA) is a new network storage system that uses VI as the network communication protocol to take advantage of VFs superior performance over TCP/IP in local area networks. VISA is composed of many storage server nodes, metadata server(s) and some client nodes and has good expansibility that allows storage nodes and client nodes to be dynamically inserted into the VISA system. Experiments conducted on a VISA prototype show that replacing TCP/IP with VI can increase the effective bandwidth and reduce the network latency. Our analysis shows that VISA outperforms TCP/IP-based system in network transfer latency as physical bandwidth increases.
Selectively anodized aluminum substrates for microwave power module package (2005)

In this paper, we present a selectively anodized aluminum substrate for microwave power module package. High performance passive components are integrated on thick anodized aluminum oxide (Al/sub 2/O/sub 3/) layer and power chips are mounted on aluminum with the ability of effective heat sink. To investigate the performance of passive components integrated on anodized aluminum substrate at high frequency, coplanar waveguides (CPWs) was fabricated on the substrate. The fabricated CPW showed lower insertion loss than 0.17 dB/mm up to 18 GHz. Using copper (Cu) electroplating and BCB dielectric, high-Q inductors were integrated on anodized aluminum substrate. The fabricated planar spiral inductor with 1nH inductance showed the maximum quality (Q) factor of 56 at 5.5 GHz.
Top Projects 1990 (1990)

A dam, a bridge, an expressway, an interchange, flood control improvements, wastewater treatment and a dredged material containment embankment round out the 1990 Outstanding Civil Engineering Award nominees. Few tourists at Minnesota's Fall Lake notice the Fall Lake Reconstructed Dam, actually an enormous concrete wall hidden by large boulders and rock materials. The population of the area surrounding Jacksonville, Fla. grew throughout the 70s, but the transportation infrastructure did not. The Napolean B. Broward Bridge was the answer to the problem. To avoid flood devastation and the possibility of spending more than $14 million on damage repair, the city of Englewood, Colo. instead spent $8.6 million on an innovative flood control program, The Little Dry Creek Flood Control Improvements, a three stage, multi-purpose project constructed over eight years. The $550 million, 13.5 mi I-279/I-579 North Hills/East Street Valley Expressway opens a new era of modern transportation for Western Pennsylvania by linking downtown Pittsburgh with its northern suburbs. The Project 88 Wastewater Treatment Plant in Columbus, Ohio returned fishable swimmable water to the Scioto River. The $25 million Wilmington Harbor South Disposal Area Development project provided a dredged material containment embankment for the 1 million cu yd of material dredged from the harbor each year. It took 20 cranes and 130 workers 14 months to build the 80 ft high, five level, $61.5 million Interstate Highway 10/Sam Houston Toll Road Interchange.
Performance evaluation of a particle-enhanced turbidimetric cystatin C assay using the Abbott Aeroset analyser and assessment of cystatin C-based equations for estimating glomerular filtration rate in chronic kidney disease (2009)

Although the cystatin C assay is acceptable for routine clinical laboratory monitoring, none of the existing cystatin C-based equations were ideal for estimating GFR in Chinese CKD patients.
3D Holographic Observatory for Long-term Monitoring of Complex Behaviors in Drosophila (2016)

Drosophila is an excellent model organism towards understanding the cognitive function, aging and neurodegeneration in humans. The effects of aging and other long-term dynamics on the behavior serve as important biomarkers in identifying such changes to the brain. In this regard, we are presenting a new imaging technique for lifetime monitoring of Drosophila in 3D at spatial and temporal resolutions capable of resolving the motion of limbs and wings using holographic principles. The developed system is capable of monitoring and extracting various behavioral parameters, such as ethograms and spatial distributions, from a group of flies simultaneously. This technique can image complicated leg and wing motions of flies at a resolution, which allows capturing specific landing responses from the same data set. Overall, this system provides a unique opportunity for high throughput screenings of behavioral changes in 3D over a long term in Drosophila.

Teratogenic compounds in <i>Veratrum californicum</i> (Durand). IX. Structure‐activity relation (1970)

Abstract The structures and configurations of three naturally occurring steroidal alkaloid teratogens from Veratrum californicum that induce cyclopia in sheep have been elucidated. The probable teratogenic structural requirements were examined in light of known structural and configurational information on active and nonactive compounds. Methods are proposed that will enable elucidation of the precise structural requirements for this teratogenic effect.
Effect of<i>d</i>‐Amphetamine and Sydnocarb on the Extracellular Level of Dopamine, 3,4‐Dihydroxyphenylacetic Acid, and Hydroxyl Radicals Generation in Rat Striatum (2000)

d-AMPH and its congeners are able to produce several neurotoxic effects, including behavioral evidences of dopaminergic dysfunction, enhanced generation of reactive oxygen species, and depletion of endogenous DA. As has been shown, Sydnocarb produces a slow and gradual increase of the parameters of dopaminergic dysfunction. Present investigations report that Sydnocarb, the original Russian psychostimulant, at a dose of 23.8 mg/kg (equimolar to 5 mg/kg d-AMPH) elicited a moderate increase in the extracellular level of DA. We found that Sydnocarb increased OH generation in less degree than that by d-AMPH. Sydnocarb was also able to elicit stereotyped behavior, but to a less extent than d-AMPH. Differences between the mode of action of this drug were previously observed. In our study, the DOPAC extracellular level was significantly decreased after the fourth injection of Sydnocarb, unlike with d-AMPH treatment. Taken together, this finding probably reflects less neurotoxic potential of the novel, original psychostimulant Sydnocarb with good clinical efficaciousness in comparison to the amphetamine.

Generalization performance of regularized neural network models (2002)

Architecture optimization is a fundamental problem of neural network modeling. The optimal architecture is defined as the one which minimizes the generalization error. This paper addresses estimation of the generalization performance of regularized, complete neural network models. Regularization normally improves the generalization performance by restricting the model complexity. A formula for the optimal weight decay regularizer is derived. A regularized model may be characterized by an effective number of weights (parameters); however, it is demonstrated that no simple definition is possible. A novel estimator of the average generalization error (called FPER) is suggested and compared to the final prediction error (FPE) and generalized prediction error (GPE) estimators. In addition, comparative numerical studies demonstrate the qualities of the suggested estimator.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>

The model strengthens the safe communication ability and guarantees the secure command on disaster recovery. It introduces a self-supervision power to watch the integrality and security of the disaster recovery system itself. It makes the use, management, and maintenance of the disaster recovery system much easier through the real-time visible platform. This model suits security-critical environments for owning the features of security, robustness, and controllability. It has guided the construction of an e-government disaster recovery system of China.
Occupancy monitoring in intelligent environment through integrated wireless localizing aggents (2009)

The application of wireless localizing agents in the occupancy detection of a single-occupant ambient intelligent environment in the presence of visitors is addressed in this paper. A wireless sensor network constructed from sensory agents of PIR motion detection sensors and door contact sensors is employed to collect the occupancy data from different areas in the ambient intelligent environment. Additionally, an RSSI detection capability is integrated to create wireless localizing agents along with tagging the occupant as a mobile node to distinguish him/her from other occupants or visitors. It is shown that by using a wireless sensor network of localizing agents for the occupancy detection of the tagged occupant, the redundancy and noise in the occupancy signal is reduced; hence, the efficiency of occupancy detection in different areas of the environment is increased.
[Phosphorus flow analysis of civil food production and consumption system]. (2011)

With the method of substance flow analysis (SFA), the study provided an analytical framework for phosphorus cycle on civil food production and consumption system that was demonstrated by four life stages-food production, food processing, consumption and waste handling. Furthermore, a case study was carried out in Hefei City, for the year 2008. The SFA results show that the total demand of phosphorus reaches 5 475.86 t in the food production and consumption of Hefei City in 2008; approximately 242.57 t P leaves the system, and around 1 710.84 t P is emitted via waste discharge to the surface water, the rest is transformed as the stocks in the system. The effluent of excessive fertilizer in agriculture plays an important role for the huge phosphorus load, as well as the civil sewage. In the end, the study provided some suggestions on improving the use efficiency of phosphorus and reducing phosphorus discharge into surface water.
IgM-class rheumatoid factor interference in the solid-phase radioimmunoassay of rubella-specific IgM antibodies. (1978)

The interference of IgM-class rheumatoid factor (RF) in the solid-phase radioimmunoassay (RIA) of rubella virus IgM antibodies was studied. Acute rubella infections did not significantly activate RF. False-positive rubella antibody results were obtained, however, when patients with raised RF levels were tested. If a low rubella IgG antibody titre was present, a high level of RF was required to cause a false-positive IgM result; conversely, in sera with high IgG titres, only a low level of RF was required for interference. Although the false-positive IgM titres obtained were generally low, thet did show a positive correlation to both RF levels and rubella IgG titres. False-positive results were successfully avoided by removing the RF by absorption with heat-aggregated human gamma globulin. The absorption procedure did not affect true rubella IgM antibody titres.
A natureza como o Outro de diferentes partes: uma discussão sobre Ratzel e alteridade. (2010)

Having as reference some parts of Ratzel’s Anthropogeography and The History of Mankind, the article aims to discuss the environmental determinism as both a scientific discourse and a form of domination. As the point of departure, the article proposes that the environmental determinism presents Nature as the Other, i.e. as an object of investigation of maximum otherness, establishing reciprocal relationships of domination and subjugation in regards to the human beings. The article argues that this how Classical Geography ended up delineating “the relationship between man and environment as its object. At the same time, a discursive strategy which used science as a tool of legitimating the colonial enterprise was built: the colonies and their “primitive” peoples could be understood as different parts of a different nature, distant and weak, to be dominated by the European explorers.
A secure and privacy-preserving incentive framework for vehicular cloud (2018)

Vehicular Cloud Computing (VCC) plays a critical role in data generation where a large number of vehicles collect various kinds of sensing resources with large-volume features. While the information that should be collected is essential for the success of VCC applications, how to stimulate the vehicle owners to provide their sensing resources in VCC is also crucial to its success. When vehicle owners choose to contribute their data for economically appealing compensation, they may be concerned about their privacy. \nThis thesis proposes a promising secure and privacy-preserving incentive mechanism framework for VCC. An incentive to convince vehicle owners with excess on-board capabilities to join in VCC without the risk of privacy disclosure. The incentive mechanism employs game theory to model the interactions between the VCC server and vehicles. With the incentive mechanism, the VCC server, which represents the task announcement can select competent vehicles to collaborate for the announced task, and the vehicle owners can earn payments from their participation. The signcryption technique and homomorphic concept are exploited to achieve mutual authentication between the VCC server and vehicles, and prevent the privacy information of these vehicles from being disclosed. \nMoreover, we study the situation in which the VCC server announces a task that can be exploited by a malicious roadside unit to reveal vehicles' privacy. Therefore, we propose a novel secure and privacy-preserving scheme for enhancing security in VCC-based tasks announcement. The proposed scheme combines a multiple receiver signcryption technique with proxy re-encryption in order to protect message content that includes the private information of the vehicles from being disclosed during task announcement. \nIn addition to the above schemes, while the VCC server is responsible for recruiting vehicles to collaborate for the announced task, it may not be fully trusted, and the disclosure of individual locations has serious privacy implications. Thus, by exploiting Lagrange interpolating polynomials, we design a privacy-preserving location matching mechanism, called LATE, to enable the VCC server determining whether the interested vehicle participant is in a geocast region of a spatial task or not without having any knowledge about the task's geocast regions and the vehicle's location.
New RTD-based SET/RESET latch IC for high-speed MOBILE D-flip flops (2005)

A new CML-type SET/RESET latch has been proposed and fabricated using an InP-based RTD/HBT technology. By using the CML-type configuration in the proposed SET/RESET latch, the high-speed operation and the compatibility with the conventional ECL interface have been achieved. The basic operation of the proposed circuit has been confirmed through the DC transfer characteristic measurements. Also, the operation of the fabricated circuit with common-emitter output buffers has been demonstrated up to 10 Gb/s with low power consumption of 23 mW. This result indicates that the proposed CML-type topology can be exploited in the SET/RESET latch of the MOBlLE-based D-flip flops for high-speed/low-power digital applications.
Dielectric meta-atom with tunable resonant frequency temperature coefficient (2017)

In this paper, we present a proof-of-concept of a new approach to achieving tailored resonant frequency temperature coefficients in dielectric meta-atoms. The technique involves introducing a thermally expanding or contracting material joining the active high permittivity dielectric absorbers. Both simulation and experiment show that by careful design of the element size and appropriate choice of thermomechanical intermediate layer material, increased or decreased resonant frequency shift temperature sensitivity is possible. Once the active dielectric material is chosen, and a meta-atom design determined, we show the resonant frequency shift depends on the thermal expansion coefficient of the intermediate layer. This work demonstrates the feasibility of manipulating the blue or red shift of metamaterial devices by introducing temperature responsive intermediate layers into meta-atoms.
Introduction (2011)

Abstract This introductory chapter provides an overview about the manga (graphic novels) that have been so popular in Japan over the course of the last few decades. When Western readers look at the manga, they are often struck by how often male–male affection and eroticism appears in their pages. In fact, male–male love has been one of the most significant thematic elements in manga. For instance, the classics Tōmo no shinzō (The heart of Thomas, 1974) by Hagio Moto and Kaze to ki no uta (The song of the wind and the trees, 1976–84) by Takemiya Keiko both present groundbreaking depictions of male–male friendship, jealousy, desire, and eroticism within the all-male world of European boarding schools. It also explores the Japanese preoccupation with homoeroticism in literature and popular culture.
