Epidemiology of occupational injury among cleaners in the healthcare sector (2008)

Cleaners were found to be at an elevated risk of all injury categories compared with healthcare workers in general.
Three-Dimensional Identification of Microorganisms Using a Digital Holographic Microscope (2013)

This paper reports a method for three-dimensional (3D) analysis of shift-invariant pattern recognition and applies to holographic images digitally reconstructed from holographic microscopes. It is shown that the sequential application of a 2D filter to the plane-by-plane reconstruction of an optical field is exactly equivalent to the application of a more general filter with a 3D impulse response. We show that any 3D filters with arbitrary impulse response can be implemented in this way. This type of processing is applied to the two-class problem of distinguishing different types of bacteria. It is shown that the proposed technique can be easily implemented using a modified microscope to develop a powerful and cost-effective system with great potential for biological screening.
A random graph model for optical networks of sensors (2003)

The main contribution of this paper is presenting a new model for Smart Dust networks communicating through optical links and showing its applicability when the goal of the network is monitoring an area under the surveillance of a base station. We analyze the basic parameters of these networks as a new model of random graphs and propose simple distributed protocols for basic communication. These protocols are designed to minimize the energy consumption.
Association between diabetes mellitus and olfactory dysfunction: current perspectives and future directions (2017)

The increasing global prevalence of diabetes mellitus presents a significant challenge to healthcare systems today. Although diabetic retinopathy, nephropathy and neuropathy are well-established complications of diabetes, there is a paucity of research examining the impact of dysglycaemia on the olfactory system. Olfaction is an important sense, playing a role in the safety, nutrition and quality of life of an individual, but its importance is often overlooked when compared with the other senses. As a result, olfactory dysfunction is often underdiagnosed. The present review article aims to present and discuss the available evidence on the relationship between diabetes and olfaction. It also explores the associations between olfactory dysfunction and diabetes complications that could explain the underlying pathogenesis. Finally, it summarizes the putative pathological mechanisms underlying olfactory dysfunction in diabetes that require further investigation.
Creating patient satisfaction and loyalty. (1990)

Many hospitals are considering enhanced approaches to patient satisfaction measurement and guest relations--or service management. Some are building in-house satisfaction management systems. Others are evaluating the growing number of systems commercially available for purchase. The authors review the successful design, testing, introduction, and nearly 5-year use of an in-house system.
Sources Identification of Anthropogenic Pb in Ulleung Basin Sediments using Stable Pb Isotope Ratios, East/Japan Sea (2007)

This study investigated temporal and spatial variation of Pb and stable Pb isotopes accumulated in Ulleung Basin core sediments (4) using MC ICP/MS in order to identify the sources of anthropogenic Pb in the East/Japan Sea. Leached (1M HCl) Pb concentration and isotope ratios () were nearly constant during 300 yrs past than 1930, but increased up to twice in concentration and as much as 3.41% (1.70%) after 2000. On the other hand, residual Pb concentrations were nearly constant for past 400 yrs. The accumulation rates of anthropogenic Pb in the basin area were in the range of , which were similar levels to total atmospheric Pb deposition fluxes from 1990s to the present. In the slope area, more increase of anthropogenic Pb accumulation than the levels expected from mass accumulation rate could be found after the middle of 1990s. From the detailed evaluation for the temporal and spatial variation of accumulation rate and isotope ratios of anthropogenic Pb, we proposed probable sources and pathways of anthropogenic Pb. Pb emmision by coal burning from the China and Korea initiated the accumulation of anthropogenic Pb in the sediments of East/Japan Sea from 1930s. The accumulation of Pb increased by the addition of anti-nocking agents from both countries untill the beginning of 1990s, but from the middle of 1990s to the present, the phase-out of gasoline additives and the rapid increase of coal burning from the China maintained the atmospheric Pb levels in the Ulleung basin nearly similar to before. However, the local sources within this basin might take an important role in the rapid increase of anthropogenic Pb accumulation in slope areas from the middle of 1990s.

Multi-level Experience Retrieval for the Personal Lifelog Media System (2007)

Personal lifelog media system stores and retrieves userpsilas every day experiences in the form of multimedia data format. This system involves huge amount of data and requires a metadata database system to enable user to retrieve the desired media efficiently. This paper proposes a multi-level abstracted metadata DB design to retrieve every day experiences in various ways with a user-friendly web interface. The simulated performance with real lifelog media data shows that suggested multi-level metadata DB structure can retrieve experience media data around four times more efficient compared with usual single-level annotation-based metadata database in the sense of retrieval time.
Inhibition of biofilm formation and antibacterial properties of a silver nano-coating on human dentine (2013)

The survival of pathogenic bacteria in the oral cavity depends on their successful adhesion to dental surfaces and their ability to develop into biofilms, known as dental plaque. Bacteria from the dental plaque are responsible for the development of dental caries, gingivitis, periodontitis, stomatitis and peri-implantitis. Certain metal nanoparticles have been suggested for infection control and the management of the oral biofilm. Here, it is shown that application of a silver nano-coating directly on dentine can successfully prevent the biofilm formation on dentine surfaces as well as inhibit bacterial growth in the surrounding media. This silver nano-coating was found to be stable (>98.8%) and to maintain its integrity in biological fluids. Its antibacterial activity was compared to silver nitrate and the widely used clinical antiseptic, chlorhexidine. The bacterial growth and cell viability were quantitatively assessed by measuring the turbidity, proportion of live and dead cells and lactate production. All three bioassays showed that silver nanoparticles and silver nitrate dentine coatings were equally highly bactericidal (>99.5%), while inhibiting bacterial adhesion. However, the latter caused significant dentine discolouration (ΔE* = 50.3). The chlorhexidine coating showed no antibacterial effect. Thus, silver nanoparticles may be a viable alternative to both chlorhexidine and silver nitrate, protecting from dental plaque and secondary caries when applied as a dentine coating, while they may provide the platform for creating anti-biofilm surfaces in medical devices and other biomedical applications.
Resistance in U.S. Wheat to Recent Eastern African Isolates of <i>Puccinia graminis</i> f. sp. <i>tritici</i> with Virulence to Resistance Gene <i>Sr31</i> (2006)

The stem rust resistance gene Sr31 derived from rye has been used as an important source of stem rust resistance in many wheat cultivars worldwide. Isolates of Puccinia graminis f. sp. tritici with virulence to Sr31 were identified from Uganda in 1999. Stem rust susceptibility in wheat lines with Sr31 was observed in Kenya in 2003 and 2004. An isolate collected from Uganda in 1999 and an isolate collected from Kenya in 2004, identified to be race TTKS, were used in the rust evaluations. Selected cultivars and advanced breeding lines (450 in total) of wheat from the United States were tested against these two stem rust isolates. Resistance to race TTKS was detected in major classes of wheat with the following frequencies: 16% of hard red spring wheat, 48% of hard red winter wheat, and 27% of soft winter wheat. The genes that conferred resistance in the spring wheat have not been conclusively identified. Resistance in cultivar Ivan was likely due to Sr24. Resistance in hard red winter wheat was postulated to be primarily due to Sr24, and resistance in soft winter wheat was postulated to be primarily due to Sr36. The 1AL.1RS translocation present in many U.S. winter wheat cultivars and breeding lines appears to carry an effective resistance gene different from Sr31. The presence of resistance to race TTKS in the adapted germ plasm presents an opportunity to improve stem rust resistance in wheat.
Online crowdsourcing subjective image quality assessment (2012)

Recently, HodgeRank on random graphs has been proposed as an effective framework for multimedia quality assessment problem based on paired comparison method. With the random design on large graphs, it is particularly suitable for large scale crowdsourcing experiments on Internet. However, to make it more practical toward this purpose, it is necessary to develop online algorithms to deal with sequential or streaming data. In this paper, we propose an online rating scheme based on HodgeRank on random graphs, to assess image quality when assessors and image pairs enter the system in a sequential way in a crowdsourceable scenario. The scheme is shown in both theory and experiments to be effective by exhibiting similar performance to batch learning under the Erdös-Rényi random graph model for sampling. It enables us to derive global rating and monitor intrinsic inconsistency in the real time. We demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed framework on LIVE and IVC databases.

Optimal acquisition scheme for subwavelength localization microscopy of bleachable fluorophores (2011)

We consider the problem of optimizing superresolution microscopy with photoswitchable molecules that irreversibly photobleach. Using variational methods, we show that the number of single-molecule images is maximized in a simple scheme with a constant number of activated fluorophores per cycle. For high-speed acquisition, deviations from the optimal scheme do reduce the information collected but fortuitously also reduce certain types of errors, making the scheme very robust. Finally, we calculate the amount of information lost due to bleaching and noise.
[Penile inflammation in ganders]. (1989)

Since 1987 penis-inflammation and -prolapse were observed in north-german breeder-geese. Up to 28% of the ganders showed local symptoms. In the females no clinical signs of cloaca-inflammation were seen. The general condition of the birds was good and there was no increased mortality. Egg production and fertility were not influenced. Bacteriological examinations of the altered penis-tissues revealed in different frequency microorganisms belonging to the genera Mycoplasma, Candida, Bacteroides, Clostridium, Streptococcus, Micrococcus, Staphylococcus, Corynebacterium, Escherichia, Proteus and Pseudomonas. Within 70 days only one third of the diseased ganders recovered completely, the others still showed penis-necrosis or -deformation. It is recommended to examine all ganders prior to each sexual season and to eliminate affected birds.
Photodynamic therapy for palliation of chest wall recurrence in patients with breast cancer (1998)

PDT is an effective treatment for chest wall recurrence in patients with breast cancer in whom other treatments have failed. PDT is also well tolerated, especially when compared with traditional therapies.
UV radiation and cancer prevention: what is the evidence? (2006)

The health benefits of sunlight and the risk of skin cancer from UV exposure are still controversial. The literature was analyzed in terms of reviews, controlled and epidemiological studies for the relationships between sunshine exposure and overall cancer mortality, as well as mortality from cancer of the prostate, colon and breast. The residential and/or occupational sun exposure rate seemed to be positively correlated with a lower risk of overall morality due to organ cancer. A normal vitamin D status appeared to be an important precondition, via the local and autocrine synthesis of 1,25(OH)2D3 in the target tissues. The vitamin D hormone system is necessary for cell proliferation and differentiation; different types of vitamin D receptor gene polymorphism seemed to be associated with cancer cell growth. The health benefits of sunlight appear to outweigh the risk of skin cancer. However, the optimal UV exposure, the target level of circulating vitamin D, and whether vitamin D is the only pathway are still undetermined.
Thermal to Visible Facial Image Translation Using Generative Adversarial Networks (2018)

Thermal cameras can capture images invariant to illumination conditions. However, thermal facial images are difficult to be recognized by human examiners. In this letter, an end-to-end framework, which consists of a generative network and a detector network, is proposed to translate thermal facial images into visible ones. The generative network aims at generating visible images given the thermal ones. The detector can locate important facial landmarks on visible faces and help the generative network to generate more realistic images that are easier to be recognized. As demonstrated in the experiments, the faces generated by our method have good visual quality and maintain identity preserving features.

Fine-Structure Deletion Map of the <i>Escherichia coli</i> L-Arabinose Operon (1972)

A fine-structure deletion map of the L-arabinose operon of E. coli was constructed by mapping deletion endpoints against point mutations. Of 350 independent deletions with average endpoint separation of ten nucleotides, 51 ended in the control region between the C and B genes, and the rest ended in the structural genes A, B, C, and D. If deletion endpoints are randomly distributed, the C and B genes are separated by about 510 nucleotides. Deletion endpoints and locations of point mutations in fact do appear randomly interspersed in the C and B genes, but no point mutations were found in the control region between them. Deletions were isolated with the aid of a heat-inducible lambda phage inserted into leucine genes adjacent to the arabinose genes. A high-capacity mating technique was developed for rapidly generating fine structure maps from many deletions and point mutations.
Reliability modeling and evaluation of HVDC power transmission systems (1994)

The objective of this paper is to present an improved computational method for evaluating the reliability indices of HVDC transmission systems. The developed models and computational techniques are described. These can be used to simulate the operational practices and characteristics of a system under study efficiently and realistically. This method is based on the failure modes and effects analysis and uses the event tree method and the minimal cut set approach to represent the system's operational behaviour and deduce the appropriate system's failure anodes. A set of five reliability indices is evaluated for each output node being analyzed together with the probability and frequency of encountering particular regions of system performance levels. The analysis of an assumed HVDC bipolar transmission system is also included.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>
Formation Of TiO2 Thin Films By A Modified Sol-gel Route And Characterization Of Structural, Optical And Electrochromic Properties (2014)

Through a modified sol gel route with titanium isopropoxide (TIP) and acetic acid, titanium dioxide (TiO2) thin films were deposited by dip coating. Employing acetic acid as modifier and without inclusion of water in hydrolysis leaded to control the degree of condensation-oligorimerization of the precursor and formation of anatase phase only upon annealing. Direct allowed energy band gap 3.87 eV verified the anatase phase of the film. Impact of temperature on structural properties was deduced by FTIR and UV-Visible spectroscopies. Due to the reduction in band gap with increase in annealing temperature, injected Li + charge amount dropped in anatase compared to the amorphous (unannealed) films.
Effect of Water Extract of Labisia pumila Var Alata on Aorta of Ovariectomized Sprague Dawley Rats (2008)

Labisia pumila var alata, locally known Kacip Fatimah, is a traditional herb used by Malay women to induce and facilitate childbirth as well as to increase a woman's libido. This study was aimed to investigate the effect of Labisia pumila consumption on maintaining the integrity of the aortic wall in ovariectomized rats. Thirty-five adult female Sprague Dawley rats, 6 months old, were used in the experiment. Rats were divided into Normal (NOR) and ovariectomized (OVXC, KF and ERT) groups. Body weight was checked and recorded monthly. After four months, rats were sacrificed by cervical dislocation and tissue samples from the aorta were collected for histological studies. Results showed that water extract of Labisia pumila-treatment maintained the elastic lamellae architecture of the ovariectomized rat aortae in a manner comparable to that of the normal rats. Results implied a possible role for Labisia pumila in modulating postmenopausal cardiovascular risks.
Cooperative moves in a non-cooperative game (2005)

We try to show that the use of alternating decision making in an infinitely repeated prisoners' dilemma type game may enable sophisticated players to achieve perpetual cooperation starting from any initial position and without any prior communication, and that the ability of players to do so depends on the relative magnitudes of the pay-offs in the stage game.
A testbed for developing, simulating and experimenting multipath aggregation algorithms (2014)

Today, electronic devices may have multiple possibilities to communicate, either through wired or wireless interfaces. Despite this diversity, devices still fail to fully use the available resources by not simultaneously using multiple channels to their full extent. This is especially true in wireless channels where the efficient aggregation of multiple channels has proved to be a difficult task, as shown in recent simulation based works. In this Work In Progress paper, we present a testbed suitable to the evaluation of aggregation algorithms under real network environments. The proposed testbed aims to simulate and experiment both existing and new aggregation algorithms, optimized for wireless heterogeneous communication channels that can be deployed in industrial environments. In order to illustrate the merits of the proposed testbed, we also describe its use in the performance assessment of two aggregation algorithms: Linux Bonding Driver and Multipath TCP.
