This work presents recent advances on room-temperature far-infrared thermopile detectors. The focal plane arrays micromachined at JPL are integrated with dedicated radiation-hardened read-out circuit chips to provide remote sensing under high radiation conditions environments.
Parent Education Groups for Mexican-Americans (1981)

U.S. schools have been accused of failing to provide adequate education for low-income Mexican-Americans. School social workers can help correct this failure by taking preventive social action with groups of parents to dispel the negative cycle that envelops many minority children in the educational system.
Synthesis of a new bridgehead nitrogen heterocyclic system. Pyrrolo [2,1‐<i>f</i>]‐1,2,4‐triazine derivatives (1979)

Abstract 1‐Ureidopyrroles of type 6a,b prepared by the general method previously described (2), readily cyclized under basic conditions giving pyrrolo [2,1‐ f ]‐1,2,4‐triazine‐2,4(1 H , 3 H )dione derivatives.
The Navy Space Surveillance System (1960)

A complete system for satellite detection and tracking and for computations of satellite orbits has been built by the Navy under ARPA sponsorship. This detection system uses a CW transmitter separated from two receiving sites, all having fan-type coplanar antenna beams. The angle of arrival of the reflected signals is measured at each station by the use of an interferometer. The position of the reflecting object is inferred by the point in the fan antenna beam defined by the intersection of the arrival angles at the two receiving stations. Two ARPA-sponsored Space Surveillance radal (radio detection and location) devices of the type described have been installed in the southern U. S. In addition to the detecting and tracking installation the system includes data transmission lines, a data reduction center, a very high speed computer for orbit determination and predictions, and display devices.
Zeros of Gaussian Noise (1958)

For many years statisticians and research workers in communication theory have been interested in the problem of the ``zeros'' i.e., the statistics of the times a random function crosses through its average value. At present very few of the desired results are amenable to analytic or numerical solution; therefore, an experiment was designed for generating and measuring the zeros of Gaussian noise having various spectral shapes. This article contains several experimentally determined distributions and statistics. Those that could be checked with numerical calculations {e.g., P[+z(t)|+z(0)], the probability of finding a zero in an increment of time Δt, t seconds after a zero has occurred} agreed closely with their calculated values. The others, e.g., W(N,T), the number of zeros in an increment of time T, verified what would be intuitively expected. The article also briefly outlines the equipment used in this investigation.
Fuzzy-Based Controller for Glucose Regulation in Type-1 Diabetic Patients by Subcutaneous Route (2006)

This paper presents an advisory/control algorithm for a type-1 diabetes mellitus (TIDM) patient under an intensive insulin treatment based on a multiple daily injections regimen (MDIR). The advisory/control algorithm incorporates expert knowledge about the treatment of this disease by using Mamdani-type fuzzy logic controllers to regulate the blood glucose level (BGL). The overall control strategy is based on a two-loop feedback strategy to overcome the variability in the glucose-insulin dynamics from patient to patient. An inner-loop provides the amount of both rapid/short and intermediate/long acting insulin (RSAI and ILAI) formulations that are programmed in a three-shots daily basis before meals. The combined preparation is then injected by the patient through a subcutaneous route. Meanwhile, an outer-loop adjusts the maximum amounts of insulin provided to the patient in a time-scale of days. The outer-loop controller aims to work as a supervisor of the inner-loop controller. Extensive closed-loop simulations are illustrated, using a detailed compartmental model of the insulin-glucose dynamics in a TIDM patient with meal intake.
Aldose Reductase Inhibitors: An Update (1993)

Tolrestat is the only one of the original ARIs still undergoing clinical trials. Results so far have been encouraging, but by no means definitive, for improvement in some aspects of diabetic neuropathy. Information from ongoing investigations is necessary before the true usefulness of tolrestat therapy can be determined.
The effect of different dose regimens in intravesical treatment of urinary bladder cancer with gemcitabine: A randomized phase II marker tumor study (2005)

4591 Background: Current intravesical treatments of Ta-T1 urinary bladder cancer have shown good efficacy, but improvement is needed. We evaluated the efficacy and toxicity of 3 different dose regimens of gemcitabine administered intravesically to patients with urinary bladder cancer. Methods: Patients with histologically proven stage Ta, grade 1/2 urinary bladder cancer and a marker lesion diameter of 0.5 to 1 cm after transurethral resection were enrolled; they received gemcitabine 2000 mg that was instilled and kept in the bladder for 1 hour. Patients were randomized to one of the following regimens: 1 dose (group A); 2 doses/week for 3 weeks (group B); or 1 dose/week for 6 weeks (group C). Response was assessed via cystoscopy 9 weeks after the end of treatment. Results: Between January 2002 and March 2004, 32 patients were enrolled; 2 were excluded due to protocol violations (groups B and C). Of the 30 randomized patients (11, group A; 10, group B; 9, group C), 1 patient was not evaluable for efficacy (group A). Nine patients (31%) reported a complete response (1, group A; 4, group B; 4, group C); an additional 9 patients (31%) had no response; and 11 (38%) had a tumor increase. All 30 patients were evaluable for toxicity. No NCI-CTC grade 3/4 toxicity was observed. Grade 1/2 nausea was reported in 5 patients (17%), and grade 1/2 fever in 2 patients (7%). One patient (3%) had grade 1 thrombocytopenia, which was reversible, and 1 of the patients with fever had grade 1 anemia, which was also reversible. Instillations were discontinued due to toxicity for only 1 patient (nausea, fever). Ten patients (33%) were unable to retain the drug for the full hour. Conclusions: As an intravesical instillation, gemcitabine showed activity and was well tolerated. The single-dose regimen does not appear to be effective. Also, twice-weekly doses do not appear to be more effective than once-weekly doses.

p21/WAF1/CIP1 EXPRESSION IN NORMAL MUCOSA AND IN ADENOMAS AND ADENOCARCINOMAS OF THE COLON: ITS RELATIONSHIP WITH DIFFERENTIATION (1996)

The immunoreactivity of p21 was evaluated in normal mucosa and in adenomas and adenocarcinomas of the human large bowel. In normal mucosa, p21 immunoreactivity was seen in the superficial third of the crypts (maturation compartment) and in surface (terminally differentiated) epithelium, and was mutually exclusive with Ki67/MIB1 reactivity. These data show that p21 expression is inversely related to proliferation and directly related to terminal differentiation. In adenomas, p21-reactive cells were frequently clustered in the superficial areas and were non-reactive for MIB1. In adenocarcinomas, p21 staining was heterogeneous: high p21 expression (19 cases) was associated with lower stage and lack of p53 overexpression. p21-reactive cells were devoid of MIB1 immunoreactivity, but no relationship could be found between p21 and MIB1 labelling indices. p21 heterogeneity may be related to alterations in the p53-dependent induction pathway: high p21 expression was associated with low to absent p53 reactivity, with presumed normal p53 function; low p21 expression was associated with p53 overexpression, with presumed p53 alteration resulting in loss of function.
Regulation of l-Cysteine Biosynthesis in Salmonella typhimurium (1971)

Abstract With the exception of serine transacetylase, the enzymes concerned with the biosynthesis of l-cysteine in Salmonella typhimurium are subject to derepression by sulfur starvation and to repression by sulfide and cysteine. Sulfate permease was not assayed in these studies. Under conditions of sulfur starvation, O-acetyl-l-serine, a direct precursor of cysteine, is necessary for derepression and is therefore an internal inducer. Sulfide and cysteine block the effect of exogenous O-acetylserine. Cys E mutants lack serine transacetylase and are pleiotropic due to their inability to synthesize the internal inducer, O-acetylserine. Cys B also appears to be regulatory, since the auxotrophs which define this region are generally repressed for most of the biosynthetic pathway even under conditions of sulfur starvation and an excess of O-acetylserine. Normally an intact cys B region, sulfur starvation, and O-acetylserine are all necessary for derepression, but certain mutations in the cys B region lead to constitutivity in the presence of sulfide or cysteine, and in the absence of O-acetylserine.
Systematic review with meta‐analysis: the efficacy of probiotics in inflammatory bowel disease (2017)

VSL#3 may be effective in inducing remission in active UC. Probiotics may be as effective as 5-ASAs in preventing relapse of quiescent UC. The efficacy of probiotics in CD remains uncertain, and more evidence from RCTs is required before their utility is known.
Human capital knowledge value added (2002)

Knowledge value added is a new cost accounting technique making waves in intangibles accounting. It helps managers conduct a business process audit. However, the managers need a behavioral tool to understand the factors that influence human capital knowledge value add, in order to increase the organizational value add. This tool helps understand the knowledge professional’s perceptions of the organization’s culture towards intellectual enterprise, knowledge management support systems and processes, as well as individual value add, the perceived performance, innovation and consequences of quitting. The tool thus helps formulation of strategies towards effective management of human capital and creating higher value add. A leading Indian infotech organization was studied as a case in point and the results are being used to design more effective knowledge management strategies.
Hearing Screening in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit: Follow-Up of Referrals (2006)

Purpose The goal of this study was to examine the rate of diagnostic testing after newborn hearing screening (NHS) referral, evaluate timeliness of follow-up, and evaluate the use of multilevel auditory brainstem response (ABR) in screening of high-risk infants. Method Telephone interviews were conducted with parents of infants who had been admitted to a neonatal intensive care unit from 1999 to 2002 and referred on NHS. An ABR screen was combined with a multilevel ABR (40, 70, and 90 dB nHL) for referrals. Results Parents of 206 infants participated; 69% of the infants underwent diagnostic follow-up. Of those with follow-up, 37% had normal hearing, 38% had hearing loss, and parents were unsure of hearing test results for 25%. Follow-up by 6 months of age occurred for 13% in 1999, increasing to 31% by 2002. Infants who did not pass their screening in both ears had confirmed hearing loss in 56% vs. 25% in those who passed in 1 ear. Also, 67% of infants with bilateral pass levels of 90 dB nHL or more had confirmed hearing loss, vs. 32% in all others. Conclusions Timely follow-up after NHS referral in our program has improved over time. Multilevel ABR may facilitate allocation of appropriate resources to track and ensure follow-up in infants at high risk for hearing loss.
Electrodeposition in Plain Bearing Manufacture (1961)

SYNOPSISElectrodeposition has been used for providing bearing linings of numerous different materials. Silver and silver-lead are the only electrodeposited materials which have been used on a large scale to provide complete linings. Plating is, however, the standard method for providing the thin lead-base overlay on copper-lead bearings, which are among the principal high duty bearings in current use. Much attention has been given to means of applying thin overlays reliably and accurately. The performance of overlays is limited by liability to fatigue, cavitation and wear, examples of whch are given in the paper. Electrodeposition is also widely used as a corrosion protection for bearings and to assist in obtaining a bond in various types of bimetal.
Co3O4 microspheres with free-standing nanofibers for high performance non-enzymatic glucose sensor (2013)

Co3O4 microspheres with free-standing or bundled nanofibers (NFs) were fabricated for use as a platform for non-enzymatic glucose sensing. The sensor based on free-standing Co3O4 NFs displays enhanced sensitivity (1440 μA mM(-1) cm(-2)), a wider linear range (0.005-12 mM) and superior selectivity. The application of this glucose sensor in human blood serum has also been demonstrated successfully.
NROM Window Sensing for 2 and 4-bits per cell Products (2006)

The NROM nonvolatile memory device (Eitan et al., 2000) is a unique localized charge trapping based technology, which is vastly being adopted by the industry, due to its native two physical bits per cell operation. Through the insights gained from NROM device physics, substantial improvements in product performance and reliability have been attained. Window sensing has allowed not only high reliability, fast ramping 2-bits per cell products, but also brought 4-bits per cell operation into reality

A low cost wireless video transmission network with padding-based distributed video coding (2010)

Distributed Video Coding (DVC) based on Distributed Source Coding (DSC) theory has been developed since 2002. The main concerns of DVC are to move high computational complexity (CC) in the encoder of video coding to the decoder side and to lower the cost of portable devices. Motivated by this idea, in this paper we present a new wireless video transmission network architecture, which combines the padding-based DVC, Digital Video Transcoding (DVT) and Decoding-Friendly Encoder Design (DFED). With this new configuration, we could shift the CC from the portable device to the network side, such that to lower the cost of portable device and whole video network system. The advantages of the proposed wireless video network framework are shown, which could achieve lower cost and retain the desired quality, at the same time.
Topology and Controller Parameter Optimization in Dynamic Mechatronic Systems (2008)

The importance of computer aided engineering (CAE) in product development processes and research has been increasing throughout the past years. Consequently, optimization tools gained more and more importance. In state-of-the-art processes and methods concerning structural optimization it is assumed that there exists a constant set of external loads or load functions acting on the part. The fact that the system’s dynamic properties and its overall behaviour may change due to geometric modifications of a part caused by an optimization process is typically neglected. In order to take into account the interaction between the part, dynamic system, control system and the changing mechanical behaviour with all its consequences for the optimization process, a simulation of the complete mechatronic system is integrated into the optimization process within the research work presented in this paper. A hybrid multibody system (MBS) simulation, a MBS containing flexible bodies, in conjunction with a co-simulation of the control system represented by tools of the Computer Aided Control Engineering (CACE) is integrated into the optimization process. By an inner optimization loop the controller parameter are adopted new in each iteration of the topology optimization in order to provide realistic load cases. The research work presented in this paper is a contribution towards the integration of existing CAE methods into a continuous process for structural optimization. The benefits will be illustrated by an example, namely a part of the humanoid robot ARMAR III of the collaborative research centre for “Humanoid Robots”.

Structure−Activity Relationship Studies of Spinorphin as a Potent and Selective Human P2X<sub>3</sub> Receptor Antagonist (2007)

Spinorphin, an endogenous antinociceptive peptide (LVVYPWT), showed potent and non-competitive antagonism at the ATP-activated human P2X3 receptor (IC50 = 8.3 pM) in a two-electrode voltage clamp assay with recombinant human P2X3 receptors expressed in Xenopus oocytes. Single alanine substitutions from 1st to 4th amino acids and the cyclic form of LVVYPWT sustained antagonistic properties at the human P2X3 receptors, whereas the threonine to alanine substitution resulted in an enhancing effect of the agonistic activity.
Convergence and output MSE of digital frequency-locked loop for wireless communications (2002)

The basic digital frequency-locked loop (DFLL) with a quadri-correlator frequency detector is analyzed. Detailed derivations of its convergence characteristic and steady state mean-squared error (MSE) are given for BPSK signaling with known and unknown transmitted symbols. Simulation results for the known symbol case are given, which agree very well with analysis.
Nonclinical pharmacokinetics of BMS‐292655, a water‐soluble prodrug of the antifungal ravuconazole (2008)

The phosphate ester, BMS-292655, was developed as a water-soluble prodrug of the antifungal agent, ravuconazole (BMS-207147). BMS-292655 was comparatively stable in rat, beagle dog, cynomolgus monkey and human plasma, but was hydrolysed upon incubation with liver S9 preparations from all species. The major product in rat, monkey and human S9 was BMS-207147, while in dog S9, the intermediate ester, BMS-300043, predominated. BMS-300043 itself was more stable in dog S9 than in S9 preparations from the other species. Intravenous administration of BMS-292655 to rats, beagle dogs and cynomolgus monkeys indicated species differences in the extent of formation of BMS-207147 (monkeys>rats>dogs). The lower overall generation of BMS-207147 in dogs was consistent with the presence of circulating plasma levels of BMS-300043. BMS-300043 was present in monkey plasma but not detectable in rat plasma. The conversion of BMS-292655 to BMS-207147 in the presence of human S9 indicated the potential for BMS-292655 to function as a BMS-207147 prodrug in humans. The similarity in the hydrolysis of BMS-292655 when incubated with human and monkey S9 in vitro, coupled with the effective release of BMS-207147 from BMS-292655 upon i.v. administration to monkeys, is consistent with this conclusion.
Coculture in Musculoskeletal Tissue Regeneration (2014)

Most tissues in the body are made up of more than one cell type. For successful tissue regeneration, it is essential to simulate the natural conditions of the cellular environment as much as possible. In a coculture system, two or more cell types are brought together, interact, and communicate in the same culture environment. The coculture system provides a powerful in vitro tool in research on cell-to-cell communications, repair, and regeneration. This review provides an overview on recent studies on general platforms and applications of coculture systems to enhance musculoskeletal regeneration, with a particular focus on osteogenesis, chondrogensis, and angiogenesis.
Primatone RL in mammalian cell culture media (1977)

Over the past 50 years, many techniques for model based control have been developed. These techniques are typically applied to small-scale systems with up to ~10 states. From industry there is an increasing interest in applying model based control techniques to large-scale models that contain over 1;000 states. These models typically show up for systems that are described by partial differential equations, which are spatially discretized using finite elements or finite volume methods.<br/><br/>Due to computational limitations, it is in practice required to determine a controller that contains at most ~100 states. Therefore the problem of designing of a reduced order controller for a full order system is of great interest.
"Localization space": a framework for localization and planning, for systems using a sensor/landmarks module (2003)

One of the common ways of localization in robotics is the triangulation using a system composed of a sensor and some landmarks (which can be artificial or natural). This paper presents a framework, namely the localization space, in order to deal with problems such as the landmark placement and motion planning including the localization constraint. Based on this framework, we present general approaches to the optimal distribution of the landmarks or to the computation of reliable trajectories. The case of a mobile robot equipped with an orientable sensor (such as a pan vision system) is presented to illustrate the formal concepts and to show the practical relevance of the proposed tools.
A review of surgical advancements for the correction of presbyopia (2013)

Presbyopia is the refractive disability of an aging eye in which accommodative ability is insufficient for near vision. An estimated 1.04 billion people are impacted by presbyopia. Successful management and compensation of presbyopia can substantially improve health-related quality of life. Optical methods for managing presbyopia are well established and can provide functional near- and distance-vision to improve the symptoms of presbyopia in a noninvasive manner. However, these methods have limitations and may not be appropriate for every individual. In response to this, several surgical technologies have been explored and developed to compensate for presbyopia.
