The experimental validation of a new energy harvesting system based on the wake galloping phenomenon (2011)

In this paper, a new energy harvesting system based on wind energy is investigated. To this end, the characteristics and mechanisms of various aerodynamic instability phenomena are first examined and the most appropriate one (i.e. wake galloping) is selected. Then, a wind tunnel test is carried out in order to understand the occurrence conditions of the wake galloping phenomenon more clearly. Based on the test results, a prototype electromagnetic energy harvesting device is designed and manufactured. The effectiveness of the proposed energy harvesting system is extensively examined via a series of wind tunnel tests with the prototype device. Test results show that electricity of about 370 mW can be generated under a wind speed of 4.5 m s − 1 by the proposed energy harvesting device. The generated power can easily be increased by simply increasing the number of electromagnetic parts in a vibrating structure. Also, the possibility of civil engineering applications is discussed. It is concluded from the test results and discussion that the proposed device is an efficient, economic and reliable energy harvesting system and could be applied to civil engineering structures.

Antimicrobial and Virulence-Modulating Effects of Clove Essential Oil on the Foodborne Pathogen Campylobacter jejuni (2016)

Our study investigated the antimicrobial action of clove (Syzygium aromaticum) essential oil (EO) on the zoonotic pathogen Campylobacter jejuni After confirming the clove essential oil's general antibacterial effect, we analyzed the reference strain Campylobacter jejuni NCTC 11168. Phenotypic, proteomic, and transcriptomic methods were used to reveal changes in cell morphology and functions when exposed to sublethal concentrations of clove EO. The normally curved cells showed markedly straightened and shrunken morphology on the scanning electron micrographs as a result of stress. Although, oxidative stress, as a generally accepted response to essential oils, was also present, the dominance of a general stress response was demonstrated by reverse transcription-PCR (RT-PCR). The results of RT-PCR and two-dimensional (2D) PAGE revealed that clove oil perturbs the expression of virulence-associated genes taking part in the synthesis of flagella, PEB1, PEB4, lipopolysaccharide (LPS), and serine protease. Loss of motility was also detected by a phenotypic test. Bioautographic analysis revealed that besides its major component, eugenol, at least four other spots of clove EO possessed bactericidal activity against C. jejuni Our findings show that clove EO has a marked antibacterial and potential virulence-modulating effect on C. jejuni IMPORTANCE: This study demonstrates that the components of clove essential oil influence not only the expression of general stress genes but also the expression of virulence-associated genes. Based on this finding, alternative strategies can be worked on to control this important foodborne pathogen.

A Review of Pulmonary Artery Catheterization in 6,245 Patients (1984)

From July 1977 to December 1982, 6,245 patients requiring cardiac and noncardiac operations had pulmonary artery (PA) catheterizations for perioperative monitoring. Their ages ranged from 4 to 94 years. PA catheters were inserted through the external or internal jugular vein in 6,146 patients, while arm veins were used in 99 patients. Complications included persistent PVCs requiring therapy in 193 (3.1%), right bundle branch blocks in three (0.048%), left bundle branch and complete heart block each in one patient (0.016%), intrapulmonary hemorrhage in four (0.064%), minor pulmonary infarcts in four (0.064%), perforation of right ventricle in one (0.016%), and death from uncontrollable pulmonary hemorrhage in one patient (0.016%). This investigation reveals a low incidence of morbidity associated with PA catheterization.

Evaluation of antinociceptive effect of Petiveria alliacea (guiné) in animals (1991)

Petiveria alliacea (Phytolaccaceae) is a bush widely distributed in South America including Brazil, where it is popularly known as "guiné", "pipi", "tipi" or "erva-de-tipi". Brazilian folk medicine attributes to the hot water infusion of its roots or leaves the following pharmacological properties: antipyretic, antispasmodic, abortifacient, antirrheumatic, diuretic, analgesic and sedative. The present study has evaluated the alleged effects of P. alliacea on central nervous system (CNS), particularly, the sedative and analgesic properties of root crude aqueous extract of this plant in mice and rats. This extract showed an antinociceptive effect in acetic acid--acetylcholine--and hypertonic saline--induced abdominal constrictions, but not in hot-plate and tail flick tests. P. alliacea did not produce any CNS depressor effect. Thus its antinociceptive action in animals can be responsible by its popular use as an analgesic.

How voice calls affect data in operational LTE networks (2013)

Both voice and data are indispensable services in current cellular networks. In this work, we study the inter-play of voice and data in operational LTE networks. We assess how the popular CSFB-based voice service affects the IP-based data sessions in 4G LTE networks, and visa versa. Our findings reveal that the interference between them is mutual. On one hand, voice calls may incur throughput drop, lost 4G connectivity, and application aborts for data sessions. One the other hand, users may miss incoming voice calls when turning on data access. The fundamental problem is that, signaling and control for circuit-switched voice and packet-switched data have dependency and coupling effect via the LTE phone client. We further propose fixes to the identified issues.
A Morphological Assessment of Bovine Chondrocytes Cultured on Poly(Ethyl Methacrylate)/Tetrahydrofurfuryl Methacrylate (1995)

A heterocyclic methacrylate polymer system, PEMA/THFMA, has shown potential as a biomaterial for cartilage repair in a rabbit model and has properties making it suitable for use clinically. The ability of the polymer system, PEMA/THFMA, and a related system, PEMA/HEMA, to support chondrocytes in vitro was assessed by scanning electron microscopy. Chondrocytes adhered to the surface of the PEMA/THFMA by day one, having a rounded morphology and clustered appearance opposed to the Thermanox® control, where the cells had spread out and become fibroblastic in appearance. The chondrocytes divided rapidly on the PEMA/ THFMA system by day three and had completely covered the surface by day seven. In contrast, chondrocytes did not adhere well to the more hydrophilic PEMA/ HEMA system. A few cells were seen on the surface by day one and by days three and seven, there was no evidence of cell growth or spreading across the surface. In conclusion, the PEMA/THFMA system can support chondrocytes in vitro, whereas the PEMA/HEMA system does not.
Injection Molding Process of Mg Alloy for Thin Plate (2006)

Magnesium alloys are very attractive materials for applying to the development of automobile parts or electric goods where a lightweight and a higher strength need. Due to higher ratio of strength vs. weight and stiffness vs. weight, various magnesium alloys are well applied in much weight saving design applications though an extrusion or a die-casting process. However, for the requisites of higher strength and weight savings, some new fabrication processes has been and it can be realized though the aid of the injection molding technology. To obtain the parametric data based upon the injection molding process, various experiments were executed for AZ91D magnesium alloy. This research proposes the optimum condition of an injection temperature, the first and the second pressure. The process was lined-up successfully often changing the injection unit and the hydraulic unit from the conventional plastic injection machine.
Sensomax: An agent-based middleware for decentralized dynamic data-gathering in wireless sensor networks (2013)

In this paper we describe the design and implementation of Sensomax, a novel agent-based middleware for wireless sensor networks (WSNs), which is written in Java and runs on networks of various Java-enabled embedded systems ranging from resource-constrained Sun Spot nodes to resource-rich Raspberry Pi boards. Programming WSNs tends to be a complex task for developers, as it requires detailed knowledge of underlying hardware resources as well as their firmware or operating systems. Although many solutions have been proposed up to this date, only a few of those are capable of satisfying challenging demands such as serving multiple user applications and reprogramming the network at run-time in popular highlevel languages such as Java. Sensomax presents a novel combination of several best practices from existing solutions, facilitating fully distributed and decentralized bulk programming and/or updating of sensor nodes; serving multiple simultaneous applications deployed by single or multiple users; allowing dynamic run-time changes in the application requirements; and offering on-the-fly switching between time-driven, data-driven, and event-driven operational paradigms. Sensomax provides a sophisticated set of APIs, a feature-rich desktop application, a web application for cloud-based distributed networks, and a simulator. We demonstrate Sensomax in operation on a real network of 12 Sun Spots deployed as an environment-monitoring system, and 600 virtual Sun Spot nodes running continuously over periods of several weeks, using a novel statistically rigorous adaptive change-point detection algorithm to identify significant “anomalous” changes in the monitored data-streams.
Tear Production After Bilateral Main Lacrimal Gland Resection in Rabbits (2015)

In the absence of NM, HG, and main LG in rabbits, tear secretion was not decreased and significant improvement of dry eye phenotypes observed with time AE. Conjunctival AQPs are possibly involved in a compensatory tear fluid production.
Pharmacologic Treatment of Cannabinoid Hyperemesis Syndrome: A Systematic Review (2017)

Cannabinoid hyperemesis syndrome (CHS) has become more prevalent with increasing cannabis use. CHS is often resistant to standard antiemetics. The objective of this study is to review the current evidence for pharmacologic treatment of CHS. Medline, PsycINFO, DARE, OpenGrey, Google Scholar, and the Cochrane Library were searched from inception to February 2017. Articles were selected and reviewed independently. Evidence was graded using Oxford Center for Evidence-Based Medicine guidelines. The search resulted in 1262 articles with 63 of them eligible for inclusion (205 human subjects). There were 4 prospective level-2, 3 retrospective level-3 studies, 12 level-4 case series, and 44 level-5 case reports. Among level-2 studies (64 subjects), tricyclic antidepressants (TCAs) and lorazepam were discussed as effective long- and short-term treatments, respectively, in two studies. Ondansetron, promethazine, diphenhydramine, and opioids were also mentioned, but the authors did not comment on their efficacy. Among level-3 studies (43 subjects), one reported effective treatment with antiepileptics zonisamide and levetiracetam, but not TCAs. Another reported favorable response to morphine, ondansetron, and lorazepam but did not specify the actual number of patients receiving specific treatment. Among the level-4 case series (54 subjects), benzodiazepines, haloperidol, and capsaicin were reported as helpful. For level-5 case reports (44 subjects), benzodiazepines, metoclopramide, haloperidol, ondansetron, morphine, and capsaicin were reported as effective. Effective treatments mentioned only once included fentanyl, diazepam, promethazine, methadone, nabilone, levomepromazine, piritramide, and pantoprazole. Hot showers and baths were cited in all level-4 and -5 articles as universally effective. High-quality evidence for pharmacologic treatment of CHS is limited. Benzodiazepines, followed by haloperidol and capsaicin, were most frequently reported as effective for acute treatment, and TCAs for long-term treatment. As the prevalence of CHS increases, future prospective trials are greatly needed to evaluate and further define optimal pharmacologic treatment of patients with CHS.

Introduction (1984)

Each of Conrad's full-length novels and most of his shorter stories are written around some variant of a common structural framework, a core of conceptual interrelations and interactions of character types. This is not to say that Conrad continually rewrote the same story, or that he failed to develop over the thirty years of his career as a novelist; on the contrary, working with the structural framework he set up, Conrad was constantly experimenting, rearranging the components of his fictional universe to achieve different effects, so that almost every one of his longer works is in some significant way an advance on its predecessor. The first purpose of the present study is to trace this development.
Copper as an antibacterial material in different facilities (2016)

The efficiency of copper as an antimicrobial material has been noted in laboratory studies and in the hospital environment. The present study further shows that copper exerted an antibacterial effect in different facilities, i.e. in a hospital, a kindergarten, an office building and in a retirement home for the elderly. The study suggests that copper has potential use as an antibacterial material and therefore might serve as a means to lower the incidence of transmission of infectious agents from inanimate surfaces in different facilities, with everyday functions.

원저 : 여성 건강검진 수진자에서 비알콜성 지방간 질환과 유리T4와의 상관관계 (2008)

연구배경: 갑상선호르몬이 지질과 탄수화물 대사에 중요한 역할을 하는 것은 잘 알려져 있지만, NAFLD과의 관련성에 대해서는 거의 알려진 것이 없다. 본 연구자들은 정상 갑상선기능을 가진 여성에서 유리 T4가 BMI와 음의 상관관계를 보이며, 비만(BMI≥25)군이 대조군에 비해 유리 T4가 낮음을 보고하여, 정상갑상선기능에서도 NAFLD의 위험인자인 비만과 갑상선기능이 관련이 있음을 보여주었다. 앞선 연구결과를 배경으로 본 연구에서 저자들은 정상갑상선 기능을 가진 건강검진 수진자에서 갑상선기능과 NAFLD의 연관성을 알아보고자 하였다. 방법: 2006년 한 해 동안 건강검진을 위해 대구가톨릭대학병원 건강증진센터에 내원한 수진자중 복부초음파검사를 받은 835명의 여성 수진자를 대상으로 하였다. 1주일 간 70 g 이상의 알코올 섭취력, HBs 항원 양성 또는 HCV 항체양성, 간염의 과거력, 갑상선기능 이상, 갑상선질환의 과거력, 당뇨병 과거력, 공복혈당이 5.55 mmol/L 이상인 경우는 대상에서 제외하였다. 상복부초음파검사는 한명의 영상의 학과 전문의에 의해 이루어 졌으며, 지방간은 간의 음영 정도를 신장피질의 음영 정도와 비교하여 진단하였고, 횡격막과 간내 혈관영역과의 구분 정도에 따라 경도, 중등도, 고도로 분류하였다. 결과: 연구대상 835명 중 99명(11.9%)이 상복부초음파에서 NAFLD로 진단되었다. 유리 T4는 NAFLD에서 대조군보다 통계적으로 유의하게 낮았고, TSH는 NAFLD에서 대조군보다 통계적으로 유의하게 높았다. 이분형 로지스틱 회귀분석을 이용한 다변량 분석 결과, BMI, 공복혈당, 유리 T4, GGT가 독립적인 지방간의 위험인자로 나타났다. 정상 갑상선기능을 이등분 하였을 때, 낮은 정상 갑상선기능을 가진 군에서 높은 정상갑상선기능을 가진 군보다 지방간이 발생할 위험률이 2.75배(1.64~4.61) 높았다. 결론: 본 연구는 여성 건강검진 수진자에서 정상범위의 낮은 유리 T4가 NAFLD의 위험인자라는 것을 보여줌으로써, 정상범위의 갑상선기능을 가진 군에서도 갑상선기능이 NAFLD와 관련성이 있다는 것을 보여주었다. 그렇지만, 앞으로 좀 더 많은 연구에서 지방간과 정상갑상선기능과의 관계 규명이 필요할 것으로 보인다.
Inhibitory effects of combinations of oxytetracycline, dimethyl sulfoxide, and EDTA-tromethamine on Escherichia coli. (1981)

Antibacterial activity against Escherichia coli was obtained with subminimal inhibitory concentrations of oxytetracycline (OTC) and EDTA-tromethamine. Inhibitory effects were not observed using combinations of dimethyl sulfoxide and OTC or dimethyl sulfoxide and EDTA-tromethamine. Neither EDTA-tromethamine nor OTC used alone was capable of the same degree of inhibition. Using a 2-dimensional Microtiter checkerboard technique, the inhibitory activity of these combinations was studied and isobolograms were plotted. A synergistic effect was seen with combinations of OTC and EDTA-tromethamine. Kinetic studies of microbial death, using subminimal inhibitory concentrations of these agents, confirmed these findings.
Cerebrospinal fluid adenosine 3',5'-monophosphate, 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid and homovanillic acid in patients with sleep apnoea syndrome (1981)

Adenosine 3',5'-monophosphate (cyclic AMP), 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid (5-HIAA) and homovanillic acid (HVA) were determined in the cerebrospinal fluid of patients with respiratory disorder and hypersomnia and in control patients. Patients with the sleep apnoea syndrome confirmed polygraphically showed elevated levels of cyclic AMP and 5-HIAA. Cyclic AMP levels were inversely correlated with arterial Po(2), measured under resting conditions. The level of HVA also was raised, but the change was not statistically significant.
Using Pharmacokinetics to Optimize Antiretroviral Drug-Drug Interactions in the Treatment of Human Immunodeficiency Virus Infection (2000)

Better understanding of the pharmacokinetics of antiretroviral drugs has resulted in the design of combination therapies for the treatment of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection. This has improved the bioavailability and prolonged the plasma half-life of some of the drugs, resulting in enhanced antiviral activity. However, antiviral combination therapy can also result in adverse drug-drug interactions and diminished antiretroviral activity. In this review, we examine drug interactions involving combinations of protease inhibitors, combinations of protease inhibitors with nonnucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors, and combinations of nucleoside analogues for the treatment of patients with HIV infection. We discuss examples and mechanisms of pharmacokinetic interactions that improve or decrease antiviral efficacy.
Lichtstreuung und Aufhellungsvermögen weißer Pigmente (1956)

Abstract Nach einer Betrachtung der für die optischen Eigenschaften weißer Pigmente maßgebenden Faktoren werden die zu ihrer Beurteilung dienenden Meßmethoden und Kenngrößen behandelt. Das Aufhellungs‐ oder Färbevermögen wird näher untersucht und seine physikalische Bedeutung dargelegt. Aus der Betrachtung des Lichtdurchgangs durch Weißpigment‐Suspensionen, die einen zusätzlichen Farbstoff enthalten, wird gefolgert, daß das Aufhellungsvermögen ein relatives Maß für die „spezifische Remissionskonstante”︁ des Pigments ist. Die abgeleiteten Formeln stimmen mit den Ergebnissen experimenteller Arbeiten überein. Es wird weiterhin mit Hilfe der Theorie der Lichtstreuung ein Ausdruck für die spezifische Remissionskonstante, und damit für das Aufhellungsvermögen, abgeleitet, der Teilchengröße und Brechungsindex enthält. Die dem Maximum dieser Funktion entsprechende optimale Teilchengröße und die zugehörigen optimalen Aufhellungsvermögen werden für verschiedene Pigmente berechnet und mit der Erfahrung verglichen. Am Beispiel des Zinksulfids wird experimentell gezeigt, daß nach einer Korrektur, die dem diffusen Lichtdurchgang durch die Schicht Rechnung trägt, die berechnete Kurve nicht nur das Optimum, sondern den ganzen Verlauf des Aufhellungsvermögens als Funktion der Teilchengröße befriedigend wiedergibt. Der Einfluß der Pigmentkonzentration im Bindemittel sowie der Korngrößenverteilung und Teilchenform der Pigmente auf ihre optische Wirksamkeit wird diskutiert.
Angiotensin II Mediates Angiotensin Converting Enzyme Type 2 Internalization and Degradation Through an Angiotensin II Type I Receptor–Dependent Mechanism (2014)

Angiotensin-converting enzyme type 2 (ACE2) is a pivotal component of the renin-angiotensin system, promoting the conversion of angiotensin II (Ang-II) to Ang-(1-7). We previously reported that decreased ACE2 expression and activity contributes to the development of Ang-II-mediated hypertension in mice. The present study aimed to investigate the mechanisms involved in ACE2 downregulation during neurogenic hypertension. In ACE2-transfected Neuro-2A cells, Ang-II treatment resulted in a significant attenuation of ACE2 enzymatic activity. Examination of the subcellular localization of ACE2 revealed that Ang-II treatment leads to ACE2 internalization and degradation into lysosomes. These effects were prevented by both the Ang-II type 1 receptor (AT1R) blocker losartan and the lysosomal inhibitor leupeptin. In contrast, in HEK293T cells, which lack endogenous AT1R, Ang-II failed to promote ACE2 internalization. Moreover, this effect could be induced after AT1R transfection. Furthermore, coimmunoprecipitation experiments demonstrated that AT1R and ACE2 form complexes, and these interactions were decreased by Ang-II treatment, which also enhanced ACE2 ubiquitination. In contrast, ACE2 activity was not changed by transfection of AT2 or Mas receptors. In vivo, Ang-II-mediated hypertension was blunted by chronic infusion of leupeptin in wildtype C57Bl/6, but not in ACE2 knockout mice. Overall, this is the first demonstration that elevated Ang-II levels reduce ACE2 expression and activity by stimulation of lysosomal degradation through an AT1R-dependent mechanism.
