Multiple drug resistance pattern in Urinary Tract Infection patients in Aligarh (2006)

The aim of this study was to explain the drug resistance pattern in E. coli isolated from community acquired Urinary tract infection (UTIs). A total of 168 urine samples were collected from the UTI patients followed by isolation and identification of E. coli strains. Antibiotic sensitivity and resistance analysis was performed by the disc diffusion method employing multiple antibiotic discs. The sensitivity was monitored by zone of inhibition around the disc. Clinical study revealed that this infection is more common in young pregnant women. Antibiotic susceptibility data revealed that majority of the isolates were resistant against 4 or more antibiotics. This study concludes that E. coli is one of the important causative agents of urinary tract infection in young women especially during the state of pregnancy.
Light-Triggered Disassembly of Amyloid Fibrils (2012)

There is growing demand for novel methods that could render the controlled disassembly of higher-order structures formed, for example, by peptides. Herein, we demonstrate such a method based on the application of a photocaged variant of the amino acid lysine, namely, lys(Nvoc). Specifically, we introduce lys(Nvoc) into the primary sequence of the amyloidogenic peptide, Aβ(16-22), at a position where the native side chain is known to play a key role in fibril formation via hydrophobic interactions. Both AFM and infrared spectroscopic measurements indicate that the resultant Aβ(16-22) mutant is able to form fibrils whereas, more importantly, the fibrils thus formed can be completely disassembled upon irradiation with near-UV light, which cleaves the photolabile Nvoc moiety and triggers the restoration of the lysine side chain. These results suggest that the generation of a single charge in a highly hydrophobic region of the fibrils is sufficient to promote their dissociation. Thus, we envisage that the current approach will find useful applications wherein controlled structural disassembly or content release is required.
Morphing the BlobTree (2000)

Implicit surfaces have proved to be a particularly well suited and efficient model for animating and morphing shapes of arbitrary topologies. The BlobTree model is characterized as a hierarchical combination of skeletal primitives organized in a tree. The nodes hold blending, boolean and warping operators, which allows the design of complex objects. In this paper, we address the metamorphosis of the BlobTree. This appears a difficult task as the tree data‐structures of the initial and final shapes are completely different in the general case, and consequently cannot be matched easily. We propose an original technique that solves the correspondence process and creates an intermediate generic BlobTree model whose instances interpolate the initial and final shapes. The animator may control the correspondence between features and can specify both the speed of transformation and the trajectory of the nodes and the leaves of the generic BlobTree model. This provides the end user with a tight control over the transformation so as to achieve good visual effects.
Prevalence of hypercoagulable disorders in inflammatory bowel disease (2013)

OBJECTIVE. Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) can be associated with hypercoagulable disorders. Aim of this single-center, prospective study was an in-depth evaluation of acquired hypercoagulable states in IBD patients. METHODS. A total of 110 patients with Crohn's disease (CD) (aged 19-69; mean 40.5, median 38.5 years), 43 with ulcerative colitis (UC) (aged 17-72; mean 42, median 36 years), and 30 controls were enrolled. Full blood count, serum C-reactive protein (CRP), proteins C and S, activated protein C (APC) resistance, thrombin-antithrombin complex (TAT), F1+F2 fragments, tissue factor pathway inhibitor (TFPI) total and truncated, TFPI-factor Xa, tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) and PAI-I antigen were investigated in peripheral blood samples. RESULTS. Only 18 of 153 (11.8%) IBD patients had hemocoagulation parameters within normal range. Significant difference between IBD patients and controls was found in thrombocyte volume (p < 0.001), protein C (p = 0.025), protein S (p = 0.003), APC resistance (p < 0.001), F1+F2 fragments (p < 0.001), and tPA (p = 0.002). In CD patients who were divided into two subgroups according to serum CRP values (non-active disease: <5 mg/L; active disease ≥5 mg/L), thrombocyte count was significantly lower (p = 0.001), thrombocyte volume was significantly higher (p = 0.002), F1+F2 fragments were significantly lower (p = 0.007) and tPA was significantly higher (p = 0.038) in the subgroup with CRP <5 mg/L. In UC patients, no significant difference depending on CRP was found. CONCLUSIONS. Acquired hypercoagulable abnormalities in IBD patients are frequent. Patients with active CD, but not UC, displayed significantly different hemocoagulable parameters, when compared to non-active CD/UC subjects. In patients with active CD (with increased serum CRP concentration) and patients with active extensive UC found at endoscopy (despite low CRP values), prophylactic anticoagulation therapy should be considered.
ECG Signal Denoising Based on Morphological Filtering (2011)

Electrocardiographic (ECG) signal are often contaminated with different types of noise and base-line drift. A morphological filtering approach was put forward to remove the noise of the ECG signals and to calibrate the base-line drift in this paper. Different sizes of structuring elements were used to process the signal for different nature of ECG signal and noise. The morphological filtering approach is simple, fast and real-time in processing, and it keeps the ECG signal shape unchanged while removing the noise. An experiment was carried out to simulate the morphological filtering approach with LABVIEW, and it was shown that this approach was effective in removing noise and in calibrating the base-line drift.
III. An experimental investigation of the circumstances which determine whether the motion of water shall be direct or sinuous, and of the law of resistance in parallel channels (1883)

Abstract 1. Objects and Results of the Investigation.—The results of this investigation have both a practical and a philosophical aspect. In their practical aspect they relate to the laws of resistance to the motion of water in pipes, which appears in a new form, the law for all velocities and all diameters being represented by an equation of two terms.
Physicochemical Properties of Sonicated Mung Bean, Potato, and Rice Starches (2002)

ABSTRACT Mung bean, potato, and rice starch solutions (5%, w/w) were sonicated for up to 5 min after heating, and their physicochemical properties were investigated. Alkaline viscosities, including the apparent and inherent viscosities of starches, decreased. The residues of the swollen starch granules after pasting and centrifugation were also reduced prominently by sonication. Average degree of polymerization did not change with sonication. The starch paste became more transparent, and the hot paste viscosity measured at 70°C decreased remarkably. Results indicate that changes in the physicochemical properties of starch were induced by the disruption of swollen granules rather than the breakage of glucosidic linkages with sonication.
Towards the identification of imaging biomarkers in schizophrenia, using multivariate pattern classification at a single-subject level (2013)

Standard univariate analyses of brain imaging data have revealed a host of structural and functional brain alterations in schizophrenia. However, these analyses typically involve examining each voxel separately and making inferences at group-level, thus limiting clinical translation of their findings. Taking into account the fact that brain alterations in schizophrenia expand over a widely distributed network of brain regions, univariate analysis methods may not be the most suited choice for imaging data analysis. To address these limitations, the neuroimaging community has turned to machine learning methods both because of their ability to examine voxels jointly and their potential for making inferences at a single-subject level. This article provides a critical overview of the current and foreseeable applications of machine learning, in identifying imaging-based biomarkers that could be used for the diagnosis, early detection and treatment response of schizophrenia, and could, thus, be of high clinical relevance. We discuss promising future research directions and the main difficulties facing machine learning researchers as far as their potential translation into clinical practice is concerned.
Thread-associative memory for multicore and multithreaded computing (2006)

Presented in this paper is the thread-associative memory microarchitecture for multicore and multithreaded processor design. Memory contention among concurrent threads in chip multithreaded processing has become a limiting factor for performance improvement. The proposed thread-associative memory addresses this challenge by incorporating thread-specific information explicitly into on-chip memory hardware. The proposed technique can be utilized at different levels of memory hierarchy. Furthermore, it is not just a technique for performance enhancement but also a solution for energy efficiency. Trace-driven simulations on a 32KB L1 data cache demonstrate 36.6% maximum performance improvement and up to 15.1% total energy reduction, with 20.3% dynamic energy reduction and 9.9% leakage energy reduction.
VISUAL CONTROL OF BALANCE IN CEREBELLAR AND PARKINSONIAN SYNDROMES (1990)

The role of vision in the control of balance in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) and cerebellar disease (CD) was studied by measuring body sway with eyes open, closed, and in response to visual stimuli generated by discrete lateral displacements of a moveable room which enclosed the subjects. In response to room movement, normal subjects swayed by an amount intermediate between sway with eyes open and eyes closed and their response attenuated on repetition of the movement, a process depending on shifting from predominantly visual to proprioceptive control. CD patients swayed more than controls with eyes open or closed and as shown by high 'Romberg quotients' (eyes closed/eyes open sway ratio) were able to use visual information to control much of their unsteadiness. CD patients had a normal attenuation of response to repetition of the room movement. PD patients had normal sway with eyes open or closed but their responses to room movement were abnormal, being proportionately larger and failing to attenuate during successive stimuli. The results indicate that cerebellar lesions seem largely to spare the visuopostural loop and also spare the ability to shift from a visual to a proprioceptive control of postural sway. In contrast, the findings in PD suggest that the visuopostural loop is hyperactive and that its influence cannot easily be de-emphasized when visual information is misleading. The latter finding suggests that basal ganglia participation in posture is concerned with the reweighting of the various sensorimotor loops controlling posture in the process of adapting to novel situations.
A High‐Voltage Molecular‐Engineered Organic Sensitizer–Iron Redox Shuttle Pair: 1.4 V DSSC and 3.3 V SSM‐DSSC Devices (2018)

The development of high voltage solar cells is an attractive way to use sunlight for solar-to-fuel devices, multijunction solar-to-electric systems, and to power limited-area consumer electronics. By designing a low-oxidation-potential organic dye (RR9)/redox shuttle (Fe(bpy)<sub>3</sub><sup>3+/2+</sup> ) pair for dye-sensitized solar-cell (DSSC) devices, the highest single device photovoltage (1.42 V) has been realized for a DSSC not relying on doped TiO<sub>2</sub> . Additionally, Fe(bpy)<sub>3</sub><sup>3+/2+</sup> offers a robust, readily tunable ligand platform for redox potential tuning. RR9 can be regenerated with a low driving force (190 mV), and by utilizing the RR9/Fe(bpy)<sub>3</sub><sup>3+/2+</sup> redox shuttle pair in a subcell for a sequential series multijunction (SSM)-DSSC system, one of the highest known three subcell photovoltage was attained for any solar-cell technology (3.34 V, >1.0 V per subcell).

The Deposition of Epitaxial Layers from the Vapour of Organometallic Compounds (1985)

Different methods of depositing epitaxial layers from the vapour of organometallic compounds have been compared.

An Inter-Battery Method of Factor Analysis (1958)

The inter-battery method of factor analysis was devised to provide information relevant to the stability of factors over different selections of tests. Two batteries of tests, postulated to depend on the same common factors, but not parallel tests, are given to one sample of individuals. Factors are determined from the correlation of the tests in one battery with the tests in the other battery. These factors are only those that are common to the two batteries. No communality estimates are required. A statistical test is provided for judging the minimum number of factors involved. Rotation of axes is carried out independently for the two batteries. A final step provides the correlation between factors determined by scores on the tests in the two batteries. The correlations between corresponding factors are taken as factor reliability coefficients.
Pruning the fast discrete cosine transform (1991)

The matrix representation of the simple structured algorithm for the discrete cosine transform (DCT), which was first introduced by Y. Morikawa et al. (1985) based on the successive order reduction of the Tchebycheff polynomial, and retrieved by a simpler approach by Z. Wang (1988), is reviewed. A fast pruning algorithm for the DCT is then developed.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>
A performance comparison of three indoor radio network concepts based on time dynamic simulations (2002)

Today there is growing demand for ubiquitous high-quality indoor wireless communication systems and many different proposals regarding such systems have been brought forward. This study investigates how three different indoor radio network concepts perform in time dynamic simulations when user mobility is introduced. In this new simulation environment a system based on a number of radio-ports connected to a centralized radio network controller is compared to a system based on small pico cells and a system based on distributed antennas. With this particular simulation set up the results indicate that the capacity of the centralized radio network controller is two times the capacity of the pico cellular concept and three times the capacity of the system comprised of distributed antennas. The capacity advantage found here for the centralized radio network controller compared to a distributed antenna solution is smaller than in a previous study. There it was found that the capacity of the centralized radio network controller is four times the capacity of a system with distributed antennas.
Passive image interferometry and seasonal variations of seismic velocities at Merapi Volcano, Indonesia (2006)

We propose passive image interferometry as a technique for seismology that allows to continuously monitor small temporal changes of seismic velocities in the subsurface. The technique is independent of sources in the classical sense and requires just one or two permanent seismic stations. We retrieve the Green's functions that we use for interferometry from ambient seismic noise. Applying passive image interferometry to data from Merapi volcano we show that velocity variations can be measured with an accuracy of 0.1% with a temporal resolution of a single day. At Mt. Merapi the velocity variations show a strong seasonal influence and we present a depth dependent hydrological model that describes our observations solely based on precipitation.
A Supramolecular Chiroptical Switch Using an Amorphous Azobenzene Polymer (2006)

Abstract Supramolecular chirality has been optically induced in an achiral epoxy‐based polymer containing photoresponsive azobenzene groups. The origin of this effect is the long‐range helical arrangement of the azobenzenes, which extends through the entire thickness of the film. The helicity induced by the handedness of the laser can be reversibly switched by alternately exposing the film to a 488 nm laser with right‐ and left‐handed elliptical polarization. The chiral properties of these films have been characterized by circular dichroism spectroscopy and optical rotation. After five switching cycles, the fatigue resistance is seen to depend on the absorption wavelength of the film, probably due to differences in the photoresponsive speed of the azobenzenes and the polymeric segments.
Wake Shedding from a Distorted Cylinder (1976)

When a circular cylinder distorted in a wavy form moves transversely in a fluid at low Reynolds numbers, the wake of the cylinder is remarkably different from that of a straight one, but the periodic characteristic of wake shedding seems to remain unchanged.
Diminished 5alpha-reductase activity in extracts of fibroblasts cultured from patients with familial incomplete male pseudohermaphroditism, type 2. (1975)

The activity of 5alpha-reductase, the enzyme that converts testosterone to dihydrotestosterone, has been assessed in cell-free extracts of fibroblasts grown from foreskin, labia majora, scrotum, and nongenital skin from control subjects, from patients with developmental defects of the urogenital system, drom two subjects with the type 2 form of familial incomplete male pseudohermaphroditism and from individuals with other forms of hereditary male pseudohermaphoditism. Enzyme activity was shown to be maximal in the pH range of 5 to 6. Substrate specificity studies indicated that the enzyme so assayed is the 5alpha-reductase previously characterized in human foreskin. The activity of the enzyme was low in normal fibroblasts grown from nongenital skin and high in most fibroblasts grown from genital skin. 5alpha-Reductase activity in extracts of foreskin fibroblasts from two subjects with the type 2 disorder was undetectable at pH 5.5. Activity in comparable fibroblast extracts from most patients with other forms of hereditary male pseudohermaphroditism was easily measurable.

Guidelines for Using Eastcoast 2001 Database of Tidal Constituents within Western North Atlantic Ocean, Gulf of Mexico and Caribbean Sea (2002)

Abstract : This Coastal and Hydraulics Engineering Technical Note (CHETN) describes the Eastcoast 2001 computed database of tidal elevation and velocity constituents. This database was developed to allow surface-water elevation and currents to be quickly and easily defined in open waters within the Western North Atlantic Tidal (WNAT) domain. The WNAT domain encompasses the Western North Atlantic Ocean, the Gulf of Mexico, and the Caribbean Sea. The Eastcoast 2001 database defines the computed elevation and velocity amplitude and phase for the O1, K1, Q1, M2, S2, N2, and K2 astronomical tidal constituents as well as the steady, M4 and M6 overtides. This CHETN summarizes the development of the Eastcoast 2001 tidal constituent database, presents global, basin-specific and site-specific error estimates, and discusses exactly what is computed, where it can be applied, and how it can and should be used. Limitations of the database are also described.
A Scalable Architecture for SIP using Content Addressable Networks (2005)

Session initiation protocol (SIP) provides call establishment functions for VoIP including location resolution, authentication, signaling compression, and billing. These functions, when combined with the text-based nature of the protocol, are highly CPU-intensive under a peak load. Practical limitation on the available CPU power of a single SIP server mandates that the SIP infrastructure supporting these functions be distributed over multiple servers. Existing approaches to this problem using multiple nodes for SIP processing with a shared location database or a replicated location database to distribute the load are unfortunately not scalable or fault-tolerant, incurring high maintenance and update overheads or introducing a single point of failure. This thesis presents a proof-of-concept design and analysis of a scalable, robust architecture for SIP infrastructures using a content addressable network (CAN) model, called CASIP (CAN-based SIP). The combination of CAN and SIP is highly complementary. The performance study of CASIP using an implementation using a real SIP stack and NS-2 simulations shows that the proposed system distributes the SIP processing (both location update and lookup) load of the network over multiple nodes very effectively without incurring much routing and maintenance overhead; with use of simple cache schemes, CASIP can linearly add the number of servers in proportion to the increase in the subscriber base. The study also indicates that CASIP keeps the reconfiguration overhead minimal. Furthermore, the CASIP architecture exhibits high availability: a CASIP network of 50 nodes recovers from a server crash within 5 minutes, during which only 2% of call setup requests are dropped. These features enable cost-effective, incremental deployment of SIP servers in response to the user population growth
An executive system implemented as a finite-state automaton (1964)

The 473L command and control system used by the Air Force permits many operators to access large data files through the use of a computer. The man-machine interface is satisfied by several communication consoles from which operators may enter queries and view replies. A data link permits remote stations to send messages, status reports and inventories directly to the computer. The information received over the online data link is used to update the data files which are stored on disk. The 473L programming system is divided into an Executive Control Program and five components with different processing priorities. These priorities permit the system to be most sensitive to the console inputs and permit the operators at all the consoles to time share the central processor. The Executive Control Program provides for the orderly transitions of control among the programming system components. The major emphasis of the paper is on the technique of using the definition of a finite-state automaton for organizing the Executive Control Program.
