Molecular markers reveal differentiation among isolates of <i>Coccidioides immitis</i> from California, Arizona and Texas (1997)

Coccidioides immitis causes coccidioidomycosis, a fungal disease of both immuno-compromised and otherwise healthy people; it is capable of causing large epidemics and the disease is often refractory to chemotherapy. To quantify the magnitude of population differentiation and estimate levels of gene flow in C. immitis, multilocus genotypes were scored for 20-25 clinical isolates from each of Bakersfield (California), Tucson (Arizona), and San Antonio (Texas). The molecular markers used were PCR products with polymorphic restriction endonuclease sites, found and characterized in a previous study of the Tucson population. The data show very highly significant differences in allele frequencies between all three populations, and suggest very low levels of migration between populations. One isolate in the San Antonio sample was an outlier, showing the California-specific allele at all four of the loci distinguishing the two populations, and subsequent inquiries indicated that the infection had indeed been acquired in California. Thus, genetic information can be used to infer the geographical origin of a fungal infection.
Effects of Diabetes and Level of Glycemia on All-Cause and Cardiovascular Mortality: The San Antonio Heart Study (1998)

We conclude that diabetes is a predictor of both all-cause and CVD mortality in the general population and that both hyperglycemia and common CVD risk factors are important predictors of all-cause and CVD mortality in diabetic subjects.
Where is the economics in spatial econometrics (2011)

Spatial econometrics has been criticized by some economists because some model specifications have been driven by data-analytic considerations rather than having a firm foundation in economic theory. In particular this applies to the so-called W matrix, which is integral to the structure of endogenous and exogenous spatial lags, and to spatial error processes, and which are almost the sine qua non of spatial econometrics. Moreover it has been\nsuggested that the significance of a spatially lagged dependent variable involving W may\nbe misleading, since it may be simply picking up the effects of omitted spatially dependent variables, incorrectly suggesting the existence of a spillover mechanism. In this paper we review the theoretical and empirical rationale for network dependence and spatial externalities as embodied in spatially lagged variables, arguing that failing to acknowledge their presence at least leads to biased inference, can be a cause of inconsistent estimation, and\nleads to an incorrect understanding of true causal processes.
Social Practice Artists in the Archive: Collaborative Strategies for Documentation (2016)

Over a seven month period in 2015, My Baryo My Borough, a community-based arts and oral history project, partnered with Queens Memory, the Queens Library’s local history project, to collaboratively document the Filipino and Filipino-American communities in Queens, NY. My Baryo, My Borough and Queens Memory worked with the Filipino-American community to collect oral history recordings and digitize photographs from the local Filipino-American experience. Central to our success was a shared understanding that our partnership was building mutual legitimacy and trust, creating local capacity and shared ownership, and centering leadership for the project within the Filipino-American community in Queens. More broadly, the partnership illuminated the role that the arts can play in documenting communities that are traditionally underrepresented in the archive.
Computer-Generated Holography for Dynamic Display of 3D Objects with Full Parallax (2009)

In this paper a new holographic three-dimensional (3D) display system based on computer-generated hologram (CGH) is developed for the reconstruction of 3D objects with full parallax. A new algorithm is also developed to reduce the hologram computation time and memory usage. The dynamic 3D objects are successfully reconstructed at video rates in both real and virtual spaces.
Theoretical investigation of the electronic properties of donor–acceptor N-benzylideneanilines and related molecules (1995)

The dipole moments, transition energies and hyperpolarizabilities of a substituted stilbene, azobenzene and two isomeric–benzylideneanilines containing the 4-dimethylamino-group at one end of the molecule and the 4-nitro-group at the other, have been calculated using a semi-empirical sum-over-states method on structures optimized with the 3-21G basis set. An excellent correlation is found between the calculated and experimental spectra. The azobenzene is predicted to have the largest hyperpolarizability of this series of molecules, followed by the stilbene and N-(nitrobenzylidene)aniline which have comparable values, with the non-planar N-(benzylidene)nitroaniline showing the smallest value.
Mechanism of Cadmium Deposition from an Acidic Chloroaluminate Melt (1990)

Cyclic voltammetry was applied to study cadmium deposition on nickel from purified AlCl3-NaCl-BaCl2 (Eut., 50°C) containing 2.1 and 4.25 wt.% CdCl3. Both diffusion and adsorption peaks formed between 1–1000 mV/s and 95–175°C. Whereas cadmium deposition gave three peaks, its dissolution involved three to five peaks. Based on the formation of Cd2+ and Cd22+ ions in chloroaluminate melts, a mechanism involving step-wise electrochemical reactions, intermediates, adsorption, disproportionation, and lattice incorporation is deduced for cadmium deposition.

Microwave treatment of wood (2007)

Drying wood using microwave energy is not very common, but could be a complement to conventional air-circulation drying due to the possibility to dry wood faster than the conventional drying methods with preserved quality. Furthermore, this technique could be used to condition boards with too high moisture content gradient. In this study, an industrial-scale, online microwave drier for wood components has been used and adapted to wood treatment. The aim of the present work was to investigate if the microwave drying method itself affects such wood properties as bending strength, hardness and colour change. Another aim was to explain, with finite element model simulations, the interaction between microwaves and wood during heating and drying and to a lesser extent also during microwave scanning of wood. Tests of the mechanical properties of wood showed no difference in bending strength in comparison with the conventional air circulation method. Nor was there any significant difference in wood hardness (Janka) perpendicular to the grain between the drying methods or between different temperature levels during the microwave drying. However, the results showed that there is a significant difference in wood hardness parallel to the grain between the methods when drying progressed to relatively lower levels of moisture content; i.e. wood hardness becomes higher during microwave drying. The developed multiphysics finite element model is a powerful evaluation tool for understanding the interaction between wood and microwaves during heating and drying as well as scanning. The model can be used for simulation of different microwave treatments of wood.
A new laser range-finder based on FMCW-like method (2002)

A synthesis on laser range-finding techniques is first presented, giving the methods, the performance and the correlated applications. Then, a research in progress in our laboratory on a new laser range-finder method is focused on: the frequency beat detection, derived from the FMCW radar ranging technique. The beam intensity is modulated by a sine-wave wobulated by a chirped waveform, and final detection after mixing the emitted and echoing waves gives a frequency beat proportional to the distance. The experimental set-up is described in details with the main functional blocks. Experimental results and performance are finally discussed to find improvements and specific applications.
Systematic review and meta-analysis of the relationship between sleep disorders and suicidal behaviour in patients with depression (2019)

This meta-analysis supports the finding that sleep disorders, particularly nightmares and insomnia, increase the risk of suicidal behaviour in depressed patients. Considering that all included studies were observational, the quality of the evidence is rated as very low. More well-designed studies are needed to confirm our findings and to better explain the mechanisms by which sleep disorders aggravate suicidal behaviour in depressed patients.
Design and behaviour of geosynthetic-reinforced soil walls constructed on yielding foundations (2003)

The short- and long-term behaviour of a 6 m high segmental block-faced geosynthetic-reinforced retaining wall constructed on a rigid base and two 10 m thick clay foundations (one relatively inviscous and one viscoplastic) were numerically investigated to assess the effect of yielding in the foundation deposit on the internal and external stability of the wall. The influence of the rate of loading on the undrained shear strength of the viscoplastic foundation clay deposit is examined. The overall short- and long-term behaviour of the reinforced soil wall, including reinforcement strains and deformations, are discussed and compared with the expected design values. It is shown that the viscoplastic nature of some clayey soils can cause a decrease in the undrained shear strength with time by as much as 20% and increase the reinforcement strains by as much as 45% relative to expected design values.
Arachidonic Acid Metabolite Production Following Focal Cerebral Ischemia: Time Course and Effect of Meclofenamate (2016)

To define the time course of metabolite production, subtemporal craniectomies were performed on 60 male Sprague-Dawley rats (350-400g). Thirty rats underwent middle cerebral artery occlusion while 30 rats underwent craniectomy alone. Five rats in each of two groups (middle cerebral artery occlusion and sham) were sacrificed at 15 minutes, 1 hour, 4 hours, 1 day, 3 days, and 6 days. The cerebral hemispheres were removed and divided in the midsagittal plane. Each hemisphere was immediately frozen in isopentane cooled in dry ice and stored at -70˚C. Tissue prostaglandins E 2 and 6-keto F 1α , and leukotrienes (LT) B 4 and C 4 were measured by radioimmunoassay

Optimized low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes for bandwidth efficient modulation (2003)

In this paper, we implement an efficient MLC/PDL system for AWGN channels. In terms of the tradeoff between hardware implementation and system performance, proposed LDPC code is optimized by Gaussian approximation (GA) according to the rate of each level assigned by the capacity rule and chosen as the component code. System performance with ungerboeck partitioning (UP), mixed partitioning (MP) and gray mapping (GM) of 8PSK are evaluated, respectively. Many results are presented in this paper; they indicate that the proposed MLC/PDL system based on the optimized LDPC code, capacity rule and gray mapping (GM) can bring the very good performance.
Constitutive relation for the friction between lubricated surfaces (1996)

Motivated by recent experiments and numerical results, we propose a constitutive relation to describe the friction beween two surfaces separated by an atomically thin layer of lubricant molecules. Our phenomenological approach involves the development of a rate and state law to describe the macroscopic frictional properties of the system, in a manner similar to that which has been proposed previously by Ruina [J. Geophys. Res. 88, 10 359 (1983)] for the solid on solid case. In our case, the state variable is interpreted in terms of the shear melting of the lubricant, and the constitutive relation captures some of the primary experimental differences between the dry and lubricated systems.
Investigation of Organophilic Montmorillonite Clay Inclusion in Zearalenone-Contaminated Diets Using the Mouse Uterine Weight Bioassay (2001)

Previous studies with low-pH montmorillonite (LPHM) clay exchanged with alkylammonium compounds showed that these organo clays were quite effective in sorbing the estrogenic mycotoxin zearalenone (ZEN) from aqueous solution. The potential toxicity of these types of clays, in particular hexadecyltrimethylammonium (HDTMA) LPHM, led to the investigation of the sorption efficacy of clay exchanged with a less toxic primary amine analog, hexadecylamine (HDA). Isothermal analysis studies showed that HDA LPHM was able to bind ZEN, but less effectively than HDTMA LPHM as evidenced by a significantly lower Freundlich K (63,900 vs. 845). The in vivo effectiveness of these two clays to bind ZEN was tested utilizing the mouse uterine weight bioassay. At a dietary inclusion level of 0.25%, the clays did not have a negative impact on overall animal health as measured by final body weight; however, they did not protect the animals from the estrogenic effects induced by 35 mg ZEN/kg in the feed (i.e., the uterine weights were not reduced in comparison to ZEN alone). In fact, the HDTMA LPHM group showed an increase in uterine weight that was more than the ZEN treatment group. When the animals were fed 0.5% clay, both exchanged clays (i.e., HDTMA LPHM and HDA LPHM) resulted in decreased body weight gain. The uterine weights of ZEN-fed animals (either alone or in combination with clays) were not significantly different from each other. In contrast, the uterine:body weight ratio showed a dramatic increase in the groups fed exchanged clay + ZEN compared to ZEN alone. These results suggest that alkylamine groups may assist the transport or uptake of ZEN and result in an enhanced toxicity from contaminated feed. The findings from this study clearly demonstrate the need for careful testing of all mycotoxin-binding agents before their inclusion in the diet.

A new approach for controlling series-connected IGBT modules (2002)

A controller for combined parallel- and series-connected IGBT modules is reported. An advanced system state classification is applied to allow for real-time reconfiguration of the local controller structure. Thereby, a new scheme for controlling the rate of increase of the collector current is introduced. A globally synchronous sampling time for synchronizing multiple modules is derived locally. This avoids the need of high timing resolution in the optical links.
Design, construction, and testing of a new class of mobile robots for cave exploration (2009)

This paper introduces a novel mobile robot design concept aimed at exploration of subterranean spaces. The key innovation is the combination of highly maneuverable-body elements with wheel/leg elements (ldquowhegsrdquo). This combination offers performance not possible with conventional ldquomonolithicrdquo wheeled or tracked mobile robots, or with current robot snakes. The paper covers two design iterations of the concept, concentrating on describing the overall design process and results from initial tests.

A compensation-based power flow method for weakly meshed distribution and transmission networks (1988)

A power flow method is described for solving weakly meshed distribution and transmission networks, using a multiport compensation technique and basic formations of Kirchoff's laws. This method has excellent convergence characteristics and is robust. A computer program implementing this scheme was developed and successfully applied to several practical distribution and transmission networks with radial and weakly meshed structures. The method can be applied to the solution of both the three-phase (unbalanced) and single-phase (balanced) representation of the network, however, only the single-phase representation is treated in detail.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>

Unconditionally Secure Constant Round Multi-Party Computation for Equality, Comparison, Bits and Exponentiation. (2005)

In this paper we are interested in efficient and secure constant round multi-party protocols which provide unconditional security against so called honest-but-curious adversaries. In particular, we design a novel constant round protocol that converts from shares over Z_q to shares over the integers working for all shared inputs from Z_q. Furthermore, we present a constant round protocol to securely evaluate a shared input on a public polynomial whose running time is linear in the degree of the polynomial. The proposed solution makes use of Chebyshev Polynomials. We show that the latter two protocols can be used to design efficient constant round protocols for the following natural problems: (i) Equality: Computing shares of the bit indicating if a shared input value equals zero or not. This provides the missing building blocks for many constant round linear algebra protocols from the work of Cramer and Damgård [CD01]. (ii) Comparison: Computing shares of a bit indicating which of two shared inputs is greater. (iii) Bits: Computing shares of the binary representation of a shared input value. (iv) Exponentiation: Computing shares of x^a mod q given shares of x, a and q. Prior to this paper, for all the above mentioned problems, there were in general no efficient constant round protocols known providing unconditional security.

The prevalence of undiagnosed COPD and approaches to promote early COPD diagnosis in lung cancer population (2012)

Background Chronic obstructive disease (COPD) is a risk factor and important co-existing disease for lung cancer, however, the current status of diagnosis and treatment of COPD in lung cancer population are not fully described. This study was designed to address this issue in a general teaching hospital in China. Methods Medical records of the hospitalized patients with lung cancer in Zhongshan Hospital, Fudan University from Jan 2006 to Dec 2010 were reviewed. The co-morbid of COPD were confirmed by the spirometric results according to GOLD definition. The diagnostic rate and the rate of appropriate treatment was analyzed. Results During the study period, the prevalence of COPD in hospitalized lung cancer patients was 21.6% (705/3263). The diagnostic rate of COPD in lung cancer patients was 7.1%, and the rate of appropriate treatment for stable and acute exacerbation of COPD was 27.1% and 46.8% respectively. Respiratory physicians had a higher diagnostic rate than non-respiratory doctors (34.8% vs 2.9%, p Conclusions COPD is substantially underdiagnosed and undertreated in hospitalized lung cancer population. History of smoking, respiratory diseases, or respiratory symptoms will promote the diagnosis of the disease. Education among patients and doctors and improvement of disease management are urgently required in this special population.
