Trefftz method: A general theory (2000)

A precise definition of Trefftz method is proposed and, starting with it, a general theory is briefly explained. This leads to formulating numerical methods from a domain decomposition perspective. An important feature of this approach is the systematic use of “fully discontinuous functions” and the treatment of a general boundary value problem with prescribed jumps. Usually finite element methods are developed using splines, but a more general point of view is obtained when they are formulated in spaces in which the functions together with their derivatives may have jump discontinuities and in the general context of boundary value problems with prescribed jumps. Two broad classes of Trefftz methods are obtained: direct (Trefftz—Jirousek) and indirect (Trefftz—Herrera) methods. In turn, each one of them can be divided into overlapping and nonoverlapping. The generality of the resulting theory is remarkable, because it is applicable to any partial (or ordinary) differential equation or system of such equations, which is linear. The article is dedicated to Professor Jiroslav Jirousek, who has been a very important driving force in the modern development of Trefftz method. © 2000 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Further Characterization of Thyroid Hormone Response Elements in the Human Type 1 Iodothyronine Deiodinase Gene (1998)

The increased type 1 iodothyronine deiodinase expression in hyperthyroid patients increases the fraction of plasma T 3 generated from T 4 by the propylthiouracil-sensitive pathway. In this study, we extend our analysis of the thyroid hormone response elements (TREs) in the 5 flanking region of the human dio1 gene. The 5 TRE (TRE2), a direct repeat separated by 4 bp (DR4) at 660 bp, arises from an A to G substitution in an Alu sequence, the first example of this phenomenon. An SP1 binding site immediately 5 to TRE2 increases basal expression of a 430-bp dio1 promoter-chloramphenicol acetyltransferase construct in the presence of unliganded thyroid hormone receptor, thus decreasing T 3 responsiveness, but does not do so when this complex is placed in its more 5 wild-type location. The two
Quercetin Inhibits Left Ventricular Hypertrophy in Spontaneously Hypertensive Rats and Inhibits Angiotensin II-Induced H9C2 Cells Hypertrophy by Enhancing PPAR-γ Expression and Suppressing AP-1 Activity (2013)

Our data indicate that quercetin may inhibit cardiac hypertrophy by enhancing PPAR-γ expression and by suppressing the AP-1 signaling pathway.
INDUCTION OF CYTOCHROME <i>P</i>‐450 IN INTACT MUNG BEANS (1984)

S ummary Induction of cytochrome P ‐450 in intact plants is described for the first time. Geraniol and from‐cinnamate, substrates for plant cytochrome P ‐450 reactions, induce the formation of cytochrome P ‐450 when fed to seedlings of mung bean [ Vigna radiata (L.) Wilczek. cv. Berken, syn Phasealus aureus Roxbl, The carbon monoxide difference spectra of the induced forms of cytochrome P‐450 have absorbance maxima of 449 nm (with geraniol) and 451 nm (with cinnamate) compared with the endogenous form at 452 nm and indicate the presence of multiple forms of cytochrome P ‐450. The induction of cytochrome P ‐450 was suppressed by feeding laevulinic acid or cyctoheximide, inhibitors respectively of haem and protein synthesis. The use of solvents for the dilution and uptake of water‐insoluble inducing compounds is described, together with the effect of such solvents on plant microsomal cytochromes.
The Changing Landscape of Learning Disabilities in Canada: Definitions and Practice from 1989-2000 (2002)

This article examines the definitions of LD used in empirical research in four major Canadian journals during the time period 19892000, and notes changes or trends in LD definitions and theories. Next, current definitions (2000/2001) ofLD used by the 10 provincial ministries of education and recent proposed changes are analysed and compared with changes in definition currently espoused in the research. Little consensus of LD definition was found in the 36 research articles, rendering comparability of findings difficult. Eight articles provided a theoretical critique of learning disabilities, with seven of the studies criticizing the role of IQ in LD definitions. Among the provinces, a number of different operational definitions are currently in use, with 8 of 10 provinces using some form of a 'traditional' IQ/achievement discrepancy method. A shift in LD identification practice, reflecting the theoretical work of Canadian-based Kirby, Siegel, and Stanovich, is seen in the recent Review of Special Education in British Columbia in which significantly low word identification, reading comprehension, and pseudo-word decoding are deemed sufficient to identify students as reading disabled. Implications for professionals in the field are discussed.
L’exploitation du cuivre en Bohême à la fin de la période de Hallstatt et pendant celle de La Tène (1985)

Les recherches sur l’utilisation des minerais de fer et le traitement du fer et de l’or ont donné, dans le cadre de la Bohême, surtout grâce aux travaux bien connus de R. Pleiner et de J. Kudrnac, des résultats importants ; en revanche, on n’a pas encore trouvé la solution du problème de l’origine d’un des minerais les plus utilisés, le cuivre, pour la période tardive du Hallstatt et celle de La Tène. L’hypothèse que le cuivre ait été importé dans sa totalité en Bohême est maintenant irrecev...
Software in the Loop environment reliability for testing embedded code (2012)

This paper makes an analysis of the Software in the Loop (SiL) environment reliability for testing embedded system algorithms. The embedded system used during this analysis was developed around a C167CR microcontroller and based on a real-time (RT) operating system (OS). The main function of the control algorithm implemented into the embedded system is to control the speed of a DC motor. The embedded system software was wrapped into a SiL environment where the real-time operating system and the low level drivers where emulated. The obtained results where compared with the ones from Hardware in the Loop (HiL) testing system. Several aspects were followed during analysis: accuracy of the obtained results, proper functioning of the emulated RT OS, the possibility of using the same tools over product life cycle and implementation of automated.
Concurrent genotyping of Helicobacter pylorivirulence genes and human cytokine SNP sites using whole genome amplified DNA derived from minute amounts of gastric biopsy specimen DNA (2008)

The PCR-based molecular typing methods applied, using MDA-amplified DNA derived from small amounts of gastric biopsy specimens, enabled a rapid and concurrent molecular analysis of bacterial and host genes in the same biopsy specimen. The principles and technologies used in this study could also be applied to any situation in which human host and microbial genes of interest in microbial-host interactions would need to be sequenced.
Privacy-Preserving Matching Using Bloom Filters: an Analysis and an Encrypted Variant (2019)

Record lookup schemes are utilised in distributed database systems to allow clients to efficiently identify databases that contain relevant information. In untrusted environments, where a client should not be able to learn about the database entries that are not explicitly queried, probabilistic record lookup schemes can be used to provide a certain level of privacy. In this paper, we provide a framework for evaluating different probabilistic record lookup schemes in terms of privacy, efficiency and utility. For privacy in such schemes, for the first time, we present an analysis of the privacy implications of additions and removals of database records. Using this framework, we furthermore analyse a Bloom filter-based record lookup scheme, for which we show that it can be privacy-preserving depending on the use case and the configuration of the scheme. However, updates of databases records in this scheme, can introduce a significant privacy impact. Finally, we provide an efficient interactive record lookup protocol using homomorphic encryption that reduces the impact on privacy in the case of database updates
Prevalence of Babesia antibody in a selected blood donor population (1988)

Human babesiosis, a parasitic disease transmitted by the tick, Ixodes dammini, was confined previously to limited areas of the northeastern United States. It is a rare but potentially life-threatening complication of transfusion. Red cells and platelets prepared from asymptomatic donors have been implicated in transfusion-transmitted cases. More cases of babesiosis are being reported as the range of the vector expands in the United States. Blood donors from an endemic area were tested for antibody to Babesia microti during the summer. Only 3.7 percent of the 779 donors were seropositive, compared with 4.7 percent (p greater than 0.05) of donors from a nonendemic area. An epidemiologic survey of seropositive and matched seronegative controls demonstrated no significant differences that would assist in screening donors.
The Impact of Single Sourcing and Technology (2001)

THE ROLE OF TECHNOLOGY For the last 15 years, technology has dominated our profession. Technical communicators were plunged into the world of desktop publishing in the mid 1980s. It was no longer enough to be a good writer; you had to know page layout and graphic design. In recent years, technology to develop help materials and Web-based materials has driven the direction of our profession. Employers have looked for new hires who could use the new “hot” technology, and placed a reduced emphasis on effective communication skills and audience and task analysis. Without a strong knowledge of tools, technical communicators have had little opportunity for career growth. The emphasis on technological skills has diverted the profession from its original role, that of effective communication. Instead, a significant portion of a technical communicator’s daily routine has revolved around:
A preliminary study of intranasal epinephrine administration as a potential route for anaphylaxis treatment. (2016)

This preliminary study showed that epinephrine can be significantly absorbed via the IN route in humans. However, it requires a higher IN dose (5 mg) than the usual IM dose (0.3 mg) to achieve comparable systemic epinephrine absorption.
Modeling the Multihop Ridematching Problem with Time Windows and Solving It Using Genetic Algorithms (2012)

In ridesharing systems, drivers and riders decide to share their trips with each other for cost sharing, fun, reducing congenstion, etc. The ride matching problem with time windows consists of matching a set of drivers' offers and a set of riders' requests based on their sources, destinations and timing with detour willingness. If a request can be matched with only one offer, then the problem is called single hop ride matching. It is called multihop ride matching, if a request can be matched with two offers at different times. In this work, we model the multihop ride matching problem with time windows and provide a genetic algorithm to solve it. Experimentation results on a realistic dataset indicate that the multihop ride matching could increase the number of matched requests as compared with single hop ride matching.
The Measure of the Earth -- A Saskatchewan Diary (2005)

When I first learnt as a young schoolboy how Eratosthenes had determined the size of the Earth by comparing the length of shadows cast at two different locations, I was enthralled. The concept was so very, very simple (as, indeed, are all leaps of genius once explained) and yet it was also so powerful. I reveled in the shear audacity of the idea from shadow lengths to the circumference of the Earth. Here was the stamp of human imagination, and here was the ‘measure in all things’ as espoused by Horace.
Tree-Based Conversation Interface Using a Folding Policy on Conversation Messages (2006)

This paper describes a method for an efficient presentation of conversation messages on a tree based conversation interface. Most of conversation interfaces have been recognized as useful tools commercially and educationally as well as recreational purposes for a long time, but they are difficult to support a formal conversation. The tree based interface can present a relation among replies in conversation clearly, but it is difficult to catch a meaning of conversation context on the interface. Because whenever the interface receives a conversation message, it must move a message view in order to present recently received messages. So this paper suggests a method to present conversation messages efficiently by using an automatic folding of uninterested messages on a tree based conversation interface. The tree based interface is implemented by using XML, DOM, and JDK. Also this paper showed that the interface could be applied to a conversation system. Applications for the interface are as follows; collaboration, distance learning, online game, etc.

Korean Tradition of Translation (2013)

It is certainly through translating that a nation actively takes part in the “Global Village.” If Korean culture would like to move beyond its current status as a local culture, it is essential above all to publish Korean versions of admirable foreign literatures. Since the Independence of 1945, the translation of foreign texts into Korean blossomed immensely. Specifically after the Korean War, Korean translations, including a host of complete works series and paperbacks as well as separate volumes, have been poured out on a grand scale. At the same time, it is equally important, if not more so, to select fine literatures containing Korean characteristics, translate them through the intermediary of effective translators, and introduce them to the readers all over the world. Most of the Korean classics have been neglected chiefly due to decades of political and socio-economic hegemony, which has tended to relegate some of historically (or culturally) significant facts according to its preference. Consequently, there still remains a considerable volume of fine works written in Hanja that needs to be translated first into modern Korean and then into other foreign languages such as English or French. The effect of translation upon cultural exchanges, international tourism and the improvement of trade cannot be overstated. Yet the translation field in Korea is, in many ways, in shambles. Although they agree with the importance and necessity of translators, most Koreans do not usually look so favorably on the status of the translator. There are neither systems nor institutions in place to nurture competent translators to the level of national or societal distinction. Therefore, finding and encouraging expert translators who will actively participate in the historical task to create a global culture is an urgent affair.
Broadband Buses Based On Multicore Optical Fibres (1986)

Multimode as well as monomode multicore optical fibres /MOFs/ of circular and axially symetric distributed cores have been applied to broadband buses. The organization of the traffic was based on: multichannel and duplex transmissions, core division multiplexing (CDM), WDM signals, intercore interference, pulse delay, etc. In particular, a CI* transmission on four-fold-core multimode optical fibre was combined with four and six-fold WDM to obtain a duplex bus of small length up to a few hundred meters, of total information capacity exceeding 20 Gbit/s. The MOF buses have been applied to several practical information processing circuits like: optical fibre memory, optical fibre pulse homodyne, multiaccessible computer bus, multisensory telemetric bus, a bus of increased reliability and high quality of transmission (with very high BER value exceeding 10-11). Particular results are discussed.
Aurora-A, a Negative Prognostic Marker, Increases Migration and Decreases Radiosensitivity in Cancer Cells (2007)

Centrosomal Aurora-A (Aur-A) kinase ensures proper spindle assembly and accurate chromosome segregation in mitosis. Overexpression of Aur-A leads to centrosome amplification, aberrant spindle, and consequent genetic instability. In the present study, Aur-A was found to be overexpressed in laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC). Moreover, Aur-A expression was adversely correlated with median survival, and further identified as a potential independent factor for disease prognosis. Suppression of Aurora kinase activity chemically or genetically led to LSCC Hep2 cell cycle arrest and apoptotic cell death. Importantly, we found that Aur-A increases cell migration and this novel function was correlated with Akt1 activation. The enhanced cell migration induced by Aur-A overexpression could be abrogated by either small-molecule Akt1 inhibitor or short interfering RNA. VX-680, a selective Aurora kinase inhibitor, decreased Akt1 phosphorylation at Ser(473) and inhibited cell migration, but failed to do so in constitutive active Akt1 (myr-Akt1)-overexpressed cells. Moreover, our data suggested that overexpression of Aur-A kinase might also contribute to radioresistance of LSCC. Inhibiting Aur-A by VX-680 induced expression of p53 and potently sensitized cells to radiotherapy, leading to significant cell death. Ectopic overexpression of Aur-A, however, reduced p53 level and rendered cells more resistant to irradiation. Taken together, we showed that Aur-A kinase, a negative prognostic marker, promotes migration and reduces radiosensitivity in laryngeal cancer cells.
New Labour and the Third Way: Change in Education Policy to Bring About a Change in the Middle Class (2009)

This article aims to explore and study the complex relations between educational policies that have been set up in England for several decades and the middle-class. The analyses developed in this text are based on longitudinal research work. They show how England’s successive political regimes have tried to combine the demands from the middle-class; the weigh of which was increasing as they were becoming more heterogeneous. This process has lead to a chaotic and confusing school system.
ELASTIC BEHAVIOUR OF ROCKS AT LOW FREQUENCIES (1962)

A bstract An apparatus is described for the measurement of Young's modulus, E , and the energy loss per cycle, Δ W/W, of small beam‐shaped rock samples, over the frequency range 2 to 40 c/s. Results are given for seven sedimentary and two igneous types of rock. An increase of between 1 % and 3 % in E, and of up to 100 % in Δ W/W, occurred over this range. Experiments on rocks containing moisture showed a decrease in the magnitude of E (at 2 c/s), an increased frequency variation of E, and a greater and almost linear increase of Δ W/W with frequency. The effect of oil was similar except that the magnitude of E at 2 c/s was unaffected. It is suggested that the moisture and oil results are due to viscous movements of fluid through the pores in the rock, and that the changes in E and Δ W/W with frequency, in dry rocks, are due to a small viscous mechanism operative at low frequencies.
Do Hypnosis and Mindfulness Practices Inhabit a Common Domain? Implications for Research, Clinical Practice, and Forensic Science (2012)

Hypnosis and mindfulness practices provide clinicians with two viable yet distinct methods, or more accurately families of methods, for increasing well-being and ameliorating problems in living. In this article, we compare and contrast hypnotic and mindfulness interventions, address the question of whether they inhabit a common domain, describe how they may be combined to advantage, and discuss clinical and research implications. We contend that hypnosis and mindfulness inhabit a common, albeit broad, domain of suggestive approaches. However, we also argue that meaningful differences exist that are particularly salient and consequential in the forensic arena.
Accurate frequency-tuning mechanism from a wedge prism in a single-mode tunable laser (1995)

We present a new, accurate frequency-tuning mechanism in a grazing-incidence cavity for singlelongitudinal-mode oscillation in a tunable laser. A wedge prism with a small apex angle is inserted between the tuning mirror and the grating for accurate frequency tuning. In this configuration, the laser frequency can be tuned precisely by rotation of the wedge instead of the tuning mirror. This fine-tuning mechanism offers the ability to tune the frequency over more than 400 GHz without mode hop and with a tuning accuracy that is 2 orders of magnitude larger than that of conventional tuning methods.
Effects of Envelope-Vocoder Processing on F0 Discrimination and Concurrent-Vowel Identification (2005)

The overall detrimental effects of vocoder processing are probably are due to the poor spectral representation of the lower-order harmonics. The F0 information carried in the temporal envelope is weak, susceptible to reverberation, and may not suffice for source segregation. To the extent that vocoder processing simulates cochlear implant processing, users of current implant processing schemes are unlikely to benefit from F0 differences between competing talkers when listening to speech in complex environments. The results provide further incentive for finding a way to make the information from low-order, resolved harmonics available to cochlear implant users.
Gastric Bypass vs Sleeve Gastrectomy for Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (2011)

Participants randomized to gastric bypass were more likely to achieve remission of T2DM. Duodenum exclusion plays a role in T2DM treatment and should be assessed. Trial Registration clinicaltrials.gov Identifier: NCT00540462 (http://www.clinicaltrials.gov).
Effect of Maternal Fasting on Fetal Growth, Serum Insulin-Like Growth Factors (IGFs), and Tissue IGF Messenger Ribonucleic Acids* (1990)

Pregnant rats were fasted or allowed access to ad libitum feeds for the last 3 days of gestation to determine if the fetal growth retardation that results from maternal nutrient deprivation correlates with reductions in serum insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) and IGF-II. In addition, IGF-I and IGF-II mRNA concentrations in liver and lung were measured by specific solution hybridization assays to determine if changes in steady state levels of mRNA correlate with changes in serum values. Fetal serum IGF-I concentrations were 30% lower in fasted than in control fetuses, although fasting did not significantly reduce the abundance of IGF-I mRNA in their livers or lungs. Serum IGF-I concentrations in the fasted dams were 34% lower than those in controls. IGF-I mRNA concentrations in the livers and lungs of the fasted dams were also lower than those in controls and correlated with serum IGF-I values (liver: r = 0.833; P less than 0.001; lung: r = 0.610; P less than 0.05). Therefore, whereas IGF-I appears to be transcriptionally regulated by fasting in dams, regulation of circulating IGF-I in fetuses may occur at a post-transcriptional step. Serum IGF-II and liver IGF-II mRNA concentrations were much higher than IGF-I levels in the fetuses and were not influenced by maternal fasting. Dam serum IGF-II concentrations were low compared to those in fetal serum and also were not reduced by fasting. We conclude that one mechanism by which maternal malnutrition causes intrauterine growth retardation is through decreased expression of IGF-I. On the other hand, short term nutrient restriction does not appear to be a regulator of IGF-II during either fetal or adult life.
