Single-frequency Er <sup>3+</sup> -doped silica-basedplanar waveguide laser withintegrated photo-imprinted Bragg reflectors (1994)

Single-longitudinal-mode operation of Er3+-P2O5-codoped silica planar waveguide lasers which are equipped with integrated Bragg grating reflectors is demonstrated, with a polarised output of 340 µW at 1546 nm. The gratings are photo-imprinted using 193 nm light exposure through a phase mask in GeO2-free optical waveguides that have been sensitised by H2 loading.
Cutaneous Carcinoma: Beyond Mohs Surgery (2013)

Program Description: This miniseminar is intended to be a discussion of how best to manage patients with cutaneous carcinomas with aggressive growth features, with local invasion and metastasis that may not be controlled with either traditional extirpative surgery or Mohs micrographic resection. This presentation will be primarily focused on issues related to aggressive growth situations with basal cell and squamous cell carcinomas, particularly those with perineural invasion. How far to go with extirpative surgery versus considerations for other treatments will be discussed. Educational Objectives: 1) Recognize cutaneous carcinomas with aggressive growth features, including best tumor mapping and staging. 2) Interpret available treatment strategies when confronted with cutaneous carcinomas that are not likely to be controlled with surgical extirpation alone. 3) Define current concepts with use of targeted medical therapies in the treatment of advanced and metastatic cutaneous carcinomas.
A NOTE ON THE OPTIMALITY OF SOME ALL-SHORTEST-PATH ALGORITHMS (1972)

It is proved that any algorithm that determines the shortest distances between all node pairs in a network by repeated applications of the so-called triple-operations should contain at least n(n-1)(n-2) such operations, where n is the number of nodes in the network. Hence, FIoyd's algorithm [2J, as well as Dantzig's [lJ and Katayama and Watanabe's [5J, has been shown to be optimal.
Random Telegraphic Signals and Low-Frequency Noise in Rapid-Thermal-Annealed Silicon-Silicon Oxide Structures (2001)

Random telegraphic signals (RTSs) were observed in aluminium-silicon oxide-silicon (Al–SiO 2 –Si) metal-oxide- semiconductor capacitors with large contact areas of about 7.85×10 -3 cm 2 , which have been subjected to rapid thermal annealing (RTA) in an argon ambient at 600 to 700°C for 50 s. The RTSs change from a two-level RTS to a multilevel RTS as the device bias voltage or temperature is increased. Samples showing RTSs generally exhibit low breakdown voltages and show a Lorentzian spectrum at a frequency between 30 to 400 Hz. Furthermore, the interface-state density from samples exhibiting RTSs is generally higher than that from samples that do not show any RTSs. We suggest that the RTA process over a specific temperature range has produced weak spots in the devices. The filling and emptying processes of a trap near a weak spot modulate the barrier height, resulting in the RTS and the Lorentzian spectrum observed in these devices.
Synthesis of well aligned silicon nanowire arrays by reflow of photoresist techniques (2007)

Well aligned Si nanowires (SiNWs) by Vapor-Liquid-Solid growth process are presented. Instead of using H2, the current work uses N2 as carrier gas. The growth conditions of SiNWs are controlled by the ratio of nitrogen versus silane gas. Tapering of nanowires was found at T=620°C and P=333 m torr, and the tapering parameter was reduced by increasing the N2 gas. Tapering of nanowires is attributed to volume reduction of Au catalyst which diffuses onto the side wall of nanowires. However, it is found that the N2 gas has a similar effect of O2 gas which can reduce diffusion of Au catalyst so that volume reduction of Au catalyst is not so significant and nanowire growth becomes untapered. By adopting reflow of photoresist techniques, the size of metal catalyst for SiNWs growth can be significantly reduced, and the growth location of SiNWs can be defined. Well aligned Si nanowires can be obtained. However, aspect ratio of the nano size hole in the photoresist after reflow has a significant effect on the amount of the Au in the nanoparticles and thus the quality and growth of the nanowires.
Spheroidal Fabry-Perot microcavities in optical fibers for high-sensitivity sensing (2012)

All-optical-fiber Fabry-Perot interferometers (FPIs) with microcavities of different shapes were investigated. It was found that the size and shape of the cavity plays an important role on the performance of these interferometers. To corroborate the analysis, FPIs with spheroidal cavities were fabricated by splicing a photonic crystal fiber (PCF) with large voids and a conventional single mode fiber (SMF), using an ad hoc splicing program. It was found that the strain sensitivity of FPIs with spheroidal cavities can be controlled through the dimensions of the spheroid. For example, a FPI whose cavity had a size of ~10x60 μm exhibited strain sensitivity of ~10.3 pm/με and fringe contrast of ~38 dB. Such strain sensitivity is ~10 times larger than that of the popular fiber Bragg gratings (~1.2 pm/με) and higher than that of most low-finesse FPIs. The thermal sensitivity of our FPIs is extremely low (~1pm/°C) due to the air cavities. Thus, a number of temperature-independent ultra-sensitive microscopic sensors can be devised with the interferometers here proposed since many parameters can be converted to strain. To this end, simple vibration sensors are demonstrated.
Depolarizing Neuromuscular Blocking Action of Coryneine Derived from Aconite Root in Isolated Mouse Phrenic Nerve-Diaphragm Muscles. (1995)

The mode of the neuromuscular blocking action of coryneine (a quaternary ammonium derivative of dopamine) derived from aconite root was investigated in isolated phrenic nerve-diaphragm muscles and denervated diaphragm muscles of mice. Coryneine (20-150 microM) blocked the nerve-evoked twitch response without affecting the contraction evoked by electrical stimulation of the muscle. The blocking effect was reversed by neostigmine, a cholinesterase inhibitor. The electrical charge-response curve on depolarization produced by iontophoretically applied acetylcholine (ACh) at the endplate regions in normal muscles was shifted to the right on decreasing the maximal response by 40 microM coryneine. The double-reciprocal plot revealed that coryneine reduced the apparent affinity of ACh for its receptor on decreasing the maximal response. Coryneine (20 microM-2mM) itself depolarized the endplate membrane and this effect was reversibly suppressed by 1 and 5 microM pancuronium. Coryneine 30 microM-10mM) produced contractions of denervated muscles in a concentration-dependent manner and the effects were reduced by 70nM pancuronium. These results indicate that coryneine is a depolarizing agent and a mixed-type competitive and noncompetitive neuromuscular blocker.

Comparison of posttransplant outcomes in patients with no, acute, or chronic amiodarone use before heart transplantation (2017)

Administration of acute or chronic pretransplant amiodarone was not related to an increased occurrence of bradycardia, requirement for permanent pacemaker implantation, or mortality after HTX. Importantly, chronic amiodarone use effectively reduced early AF after HTX, whereas acute amiodarone use showed no such effect.
NEUTROPHIL RESPONSES TO INTRA'V ASCULAR PNEUMOCOCCAL SONICATE l (1992)

Leukopenia ~.nd pulmonary leukostasis are prominent features in patients succumbing to pneumococcal (PNC) infections. We examined mechanisms involved in recruitment of polymorphonuclear (PMNs) into pulmonary capillaries and alveolae after PNC sonicate injection. We showed that by 15 min postinjection, PMN chemotactic activity was found in bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluids and increased with time unlil the end point of the study at 90 min. Accompanying the increased chemotactic activity in BAL fluids was a decrease in circulating PMNs more pronounced in the femoral artery (FA) then the pulmonary artery (PA). Super- oxide anion (O~-) production by peripheral PMNs was depressed following PNC sonicate injection, and comparison of FA and PA showed that FA PMNs produced less O~- than PA PMN~,~. PA PMNs also showed enhanced random migration when compared to the depres~,ed random migration of FA PMNs. This study demonstrated that an intravascular ch allenge of PNC sonicate was associated with increased che- motactic activity for PMNs in BAL fluid. Fewer PMNs and altered PMN function resulted from passage through the pulmonary microvasculature after PNC sonicate injection.
IMG-06 DEVELOPMENT OF AN ELECTROPHOTOGRAPHIC LASER INTENSITY MODULATION MODEL FOR EXTRINSIC SIGNATURE EMBEDDING(Imaging and Printing Technologies II,Technical Program of Oral Presentations) (2009)

Printer identification based on a printed document can provide forensic information to protect copyright and verify authenticity. In addition to intrinsic features (intrinsic signatures) of the printer, modulating the printing process to embed specific features (extrinsic signatures) will further extend the encoding capacity and decoding accuracy. In this paper, we will demonstrate the feasibility of embedding code sequences in EP halftone images by modulating dot sizes through laser intensity modulation. A communication channel model incorporating the impact of the process modulation parameter, e.g. laser intensity, with a stochastic dot interaction model and scanner modulation transfer function (MTF) to estimate the impact of the modulation on a known halftone pattern and detection performance is developed. This model can be used to exam the embedding and detection algorithm and select embedding parameters without extensive measurements.

Augmented reality agents for user interface adaptation (2008)

Abstract Most augmented reality (AR) applications are primarily concerned with letting a user browse a 3D virtual world registered with the real world. More advanced AR interfaces let the user interact with the mixed environment, but the virtual part is typically rather finite and deterministic. In contrast, autonomous behavior is often desirable in ubiquitous computing (Ubicomp), which requires the computers embedded into the environment to adapt to context and situation without explicit user intervention. We present an AR framework that is enhanced by typical Ubicomp features by dynamically and proactively exploiting previously unknown applications and hardware devices, and adapting the appearance of the user interface to persistently stored and accumulated user preferences. Our framework explores proactive computing, multi‐user interface adaptation, and user interface migration. We employ mobile and autonomous agents embodied by real and virtual objects as an interface and interaction metaphor, where agent bodies are able to opportunistically migrate between multiple AR applications and computing platforms to best match the needs of the current application context. We present two pilot applications to illustrate design concepts. Copyright © 2007 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
H‐Wave® induces arteriolar vasodilation in rat striated muscle via nitric oxide‐mediated mechanisms (2009)

H-Wave electrical device stimulation (HWDS) is used clinically to expedite recovery from soft tissue injuries. We hypothesized that HWDS induces arteriolar dilation, a mechanism involved in the healing process. Acute effects of HWDS on striated muscle arteriolar diameters were studied. Arteriolar diameters were measured in the cremaster muscle of 57 male anesthetized rats using intravital microscopy before and after HWDS or sham stimulation (SS) at 1 or 2 Hz for periods of 30-60 min. In a separate cohort, the role of nitric oxide (NO) in the response to HWDS was assessed by blocking NO synthase using topical L-NAME at 10(-5) M. Maximal arteriolar responses to stimulation were compared to prestimulation diameters. HWDS both at 1 and 2 Hz resulted in significant arteriolar vasodilation (p < 0.05). The arterioles in SS animals demonstrated no changes in diameter. Similarly, microvascular diameters did not change with HWDS following blockade of NO production. Because of Poiseuille's Law, the significant arteriolar dilation induced by HWDS would translate into increases in blood flow of 26-62%. In addition, lack of arteriolar dilation following HWDS with blockade of NO production suggests that NO plays a role in the microvascular response to HWDS. These studies suggest that arteriolar vasodilation accompanying HWDS may result in increased perfusion, contributing to the observed therapeutic effects of HWDS.

Characterization of the cell kinetics and growth properties of cystic fibrosis diploid fibroblasts in vitro. (1975)

The population growth kinetics of human diploid skin fibroblasts derived from cystic fibrosis homozygotes and heterozygotes and from normal subjects were investigated. Our data suggest the following: 1. Population doubling times increase with time in culture, with no significant differences observed among the three genotypes tested, when data were compared at the same subculture times or phases of growth. 2. The fraction of dividing cells in a population decreased with the duration in which the cells were in culture. No significant differences were obtained for cells derived from the three genotypes. 3. Cell cycle times were very similar (18-20 hr) when comparing the normal and cystic fibrosis lines or when comparing cystic fibrosis lines in phases 1 and 2 of growth. 4. No significant variations in population doubling times or growth fractions could be attributed to age or sex of the biopsy donor. 5. Variability in growth fractions and doubling times was minimal through the eighth subculture period but was very great in older cultures (tenth subculture). 6. Changes in growth fractions and doubling times appear to be due to the possibility of "aging" of human diploid fibroblasts in culture rather than to the presence or absence of genes for cystic fibrosis. 7. It is strongly indicated that differences in cell kinetic parameters cannot be used as the basis for differentiation between cells derived from normal or cystic fibrosis genotypes.

The effects of the SLCO2B1 c.1457C>T polymorphism and apple juice on the pharmacokinetics of fexofenadine and midazolam in humans (2010)

The results suggest that fexofenadine is a substrate of OATP2B1, and the transport function of OATP2B1 is subject to the genotype of SLCO2B1 c.1457C> T and apple juice. It is likely that apple juice has little effect on CYP3A.
FT–IR spectroscopic study on the photo‐ and photooxidative degradation of nylons (1987)

Abstract The progress of photo‐ and photooxidative degradation of nylon films were studied by FT–IR spectroscopy. The gases evolved from the photolysis of various nylons and their model amides were also analyzed. The formation of double bonds, changes of crystallinity, and the effect of amino and carboxyl end groups has been studied and discussed. The band shapes of the IR spectra pertaining to the carbonyl groups formed by thermal oxidation or photooxidation were found to be very similar, suggesting that the two oxidation mechanisms might be similar. The broadness of these bands indicates that the carbonyl groups may belong to more than one species. The photodegradation of nylons containing purposely inserted carbonyl groups formed CHCH 2 groups. Carbonyl groups formed during oxidation, and present either as keto groups or part of N ‐acylamide units make nylons susceptible to degradation reactions entailing mainly a Norrish type II mechanism.

The conditions under which In solutions are single-phase liquids and chalcopyrite crystals can be grown from the solutions were determined. The relation between the composition of the grown crystal and that of the solute in the In solutions was determined for 60 mol% In solutions.
Clinical Potential of Compounds That Stimulate Nerve Growth Factor Production (1998)

Neuronal atrophy or death occurs in aging and neurological diseases. Recent research has identified some neurotrophins, such as nerve growth factor (NGF), brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), neurotrophin-3 (NT-3), NT-4/5, and NT-6, and their involvement in various processes in neuronal growth, differentiation, and maintenance has been clarified (Leibrock et al., 1989; Hohn et al., 1990; Maisonpierre et al., 1990; Hallbook et al., 1991; Gotz et al., 1994). These neurotrophins are closely linked to injured cells and are capable of initiating a cascade of events in neurons and glia designed to prevent further damage. In many types of injury, both in the central nervous system (CNS) and in the peripheral nervous system (PNS), the induction of neurotrophins has been observed. The amounts of NGF increase after sciatic nerve lesion or transection (Lindholm et al., 1987), fimbria fornix transection (Gasser et al., 1986; Weskamp et al., 1986), electrolytic lesion of the septohippocampal pathway (Hefti, 1986; Oderfeld-Nowak et al., 1992), needle injection (Ballarin et al., 1991), denervation of the nigral dopaminernergic neuronal system (Nitta et al., 1992), limbic seizures (Gall and Issackson, 1989), transection of the optic nerve (Lu et al., 1991), excitotoxic destruction of hippocampal neurons (Bakhit et al., 1991), bilateral decortication (Lorez et al., 1988), and the evocation of aggressive behavior in adult male mice (Spillantini et al., 1989).
Population dynamics of <i>Mythimna separata</i> and its parasitoid, <i>Cotesia ruficrus</i> , on maize in New Zealand (1987)

Abstract Field populations of Mythimna separata and its parasitoid, Cotesia rujicrus, were sampled from maize over two successive seasons. Populations of M. separata larvae (up to 1.5 larvae per plant) were detected in February of both years. Larvae were heavily parasitised by C. ruficrus , which caused mortality of up to 98070. C. ruficrus cocoon masses were hyperparasitised by Eupteromalus spp. from March onwards, but this occurred too late to affect primary parasitism of M. separata . Early collection of C. ruficrus adults adjacent to the crop suggested parasitism of host generations preceding that on the maize. M. separata larvae occurred mostly on mature cobs and did not affect fertilisation or cause significant seed damage.
