Handbook of Computational Methods for Integration (2004)

During the past 20 years, there has been enormous productivity in theoretical as well as computational integration. Some attempts have been made to find an optimal or best numerical method and related computer code to put to rest the problem of numerical integration, but the research is continuously ongoing, as this problem is still very much open-
Aldosterone synthase cytochrome P-450 expressed in the adrenals of patients with primary aldosteronism (1991)

A human cytochrome P-450 with aldosterone synthase activity was purified from the mitochondria of an aldosterone-producing adenoma. It was recognized by an anti-bovine cytochrome P-450(11 beta) IgG and by a specific antibody raised against a portion of the CYP11B2 gene product, one of the two putative proteins encoded by human cytochrome P-450(11 beta)-related genes (Mornet, E., Dupont, J., Vitek, A., and White, P. C. (1989) J. Biol. Chem. 264, 20961-20967). A similar and probably the same aldosterone synthase cytochrome P-450 was detected in the adrenal of a patient with idiopathic hyperaldosteronism. These aldosterone synthases were distinguishable from cytochrome P-450(11 beta), the product of another cytochrome P-450(11 beta)-related gene, i.e. CYP11B1, by their catalytic, molecular, and immunological properties and also by their localization. The latter enzyme was unable to produce aldosterone and did not react with the specific antibody against the CYP11B2 gene product. It was present both in tumor and non-tumor portions of the adrenals carrying the adenoma and in normal adrenal cortex. On the other hand, aldosterone synthase cytochrome P-450 localized in the tumor portions of the adrenals or in the adrenal of a patient with idiopathic hyperaldosteronism. Thus aldosterone synthase cytochrome P-450, a distinct species from cytochrome P-450(11 beta), is responsible for the biosynthesis of aldosterone in the human, at least in patients suffering from primary aldosteronism.
Pinch Effect Oscillations in a High Current Toroidal Ring Discharge (1951)

A toroidal ring discharge with currents greater than 104 amperes has been studied with a rotating mirror camera. The photographs show a lateral oscillation of the discharge, which consists of an alternate contraction and expansion of the current filament. The frequency of the oscillations increases with decrease in pressure or increase in voltage and is inversely proportional to the square root of the atomic weight of the gas. The oscillations are thought to be due to plasma ion waves, which are excited by the large `pinch' effect forces.

AN ANALOG OF THE MICHELSON-MORLEY EXPERIMENT--GALILEAN RELATIVITY AND THE VIBRATING MEMBRANE, (1968)

Abstract : By placing moving boundary conditions on the wave equation for a vibrating membrane, we have obtained sets of velocity dependent standing waves. The vibrational modes and model patterns of the moving system were derived for a rectangular boundary frame. The system is shown to be a mechanical model of the Michelson-Morley experiment. (Author)
HBV/HCV Infection, Alcohol, Tobacco and Genetic Polymorphisms for Hepatocellular Carcinoma in Nagoya, Japan. (2000)

A population-based case-control study was carried out to investigate risk factors for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in Nagoya, Japan, including hepatitis virus infections, drinking and smoking habits and genetic polymorphisms in aldehyde dehydrogenase2 (ALDH2) and cytochrome P4502E1 (CYP2E1). A total of 84 patients with HCC and 84 sex, age and residence pair-matched controls were recruited for this study. By univariate analysis, hepatitis B virus (HBV) (OR=5.14; 95%CI=2.29-11.6) and hepatitis C virus (HCV)(OR=32.00; 95%CI=7.83-130.7) infections, having a history of blood transfusion (OR=5.25; 95%CI=1.80-15.29), and habitual smoking (OR=2.36; 95%CI=1.17-4.78) were significantly linked to cases; by multivariate analysis, HCV infection (OR=23.5; 95%CI=5.07-108.9) and habitual smoking (OR=5.41; 95%CI=1.10-26.70) were still associated with a significantly increased risk. The c1/c1 genotype of CYP2E1 (odds ratio [OR]= 0.45; 95% confidence interval [CI]=0.21-0.99), detected by Pstl and Rsal digestion was significantly more prevalent in the control group, while 1-1 genotype of ALDH2 (OR=1.24; 95%CI=0.70-2.20) did not demonstrate variation. There were no statistically significant interactions between habitual smoking/drinking and genetic polymorphisms of ALDH2/P4502E1 with reference to HCC development. These findings suggest that viruses, especially HCV infection, and habitual smoking are major independent risk factors, while genetic polymorphisms of ALDH2 and CYP2E1 have only limited contribution to the risk of HCC in Nagoya, Japan.
Magnesium chloride supported high mileage catalysts for olefin polymerization. XXI. Isospecific and regiospecific vanadium catalyst for propylene polymerization (1990)

Abstract Several CW–V catalysts were prepared by supporting VCl 4 on Mg Cl 2 with ethyl benzoate and CH–V catalysts prepared by reacting MgCl 2 .ROH, phthalic anhydride, and VCl 4 . These vanadium catalysts, activated with TEA (triethyl aluminum)/MPT (methyl‐ p ‐toluate) produce mainly (88–96%) refluxing n ‐heptane insoluble isotactic PP. The active site has \documentclass{article}\pagestyle{empty}\begin{document}$ k_{p,i} = 1580 \left( M {\rm s} \right)^{ - 1}, k_{tr,i}^{\rm A} = 2 \times 10^{ - 3} {\rm s}^{ - 1} , k_{tr}^{\rm H} = 3.8 \times 10^{ - 2} \left( {\rm torr} \right)^{ - {1 \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {1 2}} \right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace} 2}} {\rm s}^{ - 1}$\end{document} for the isospecific ones and \documentclass{article}\pagestyle{empty}\begin{document}$ k_{p,a} = 58 \left( M {\rm s} \right)^{ - 1} ,k_{tr,a}^{\rm A} = 3 \times 10^{ - 3} {\rm s}^{ -1}$\end{document} for the nonspecific sites. Catalyst of VCl 3 supported on MgCl 2 has comparable productivity as the VCl 4 /MgCl 2 catalyst but catalyst of VCl 2 supported on MgCl 2 exhibit only one‐ninth of the productivity. Extensive comparison has been made between the CW–V and the CW–Ti systems which revealed striking similarities between their polymerization behaviors. MgCl 2 exerts profound influence on the stereochemical control of the vanadium ion on its activity for monomer coordination and insertion.
Comparison of RELAP4 predictions with standard problems 1, 2, and 3. [PWR] (1976)

The report contains the results of RELAP4 best estimate calculations of Standard Problems 1, 2, and 3 including comparisons with experimental data. These analyses were performed to assess the capability and to identify areas of the RELAP4 code that need further improvement. RELAP4 is a digital computer program developed to predict the thermal-hydraulic behavior of experimental systems and water-cooled nuclear reactors subjected to postulated transients. Standard Problem 1 was based on the straight pipe depressurization experiments performed by Edwards et al. in Great Britain. Standard Problems 2 and 3 were based on an isothermal blowdown of the 1-1/2 Loop Semiscale System, Test 1011 and 1009, respectively. The semiscale apparatus is a scaled experimental system which is intended to simulate the thermal-hydraulic phenomena occurring in a pressurized water reactor (PWR) primary system during a loss-of-coolant accident (LOCA). Standard Problems 2 and 3 were similar isothermal blowdown esperiments except an Emergency Core Coolant (ECC) Injection System was added to the latter.
Nature of migraine attacks during pregnancy (1994)

Although management of the disorder is conservative, exposing the fetus to nonheadache symptoms of nausea, vomiting, and possible dehydration may be riskier than using drugs.
WE-E-213CD-11: A New Automatically Generated Metric for Evaluating the Spatial Precision of Deformable Image Registrations: The Distance Discordance Metric (2012)

The proposed distance discordance (DD) metric is an easily interpretable, quantitative tool that can be used to evaluate the effect of inter-patient variability on the goodness of the registration in different parts of the patient anatomy. Therefore, it can be utilized to exclude certain images based on their DDH characteristics. In addition, this metric does not rely on 'ground truth' or the presence of contoured structures. Partially supported by NIH grant R01 CA85181.

Simultaneous Tracking of Orbcomm LEO Satellites and Inertial Navigation System Aiding Using Doppler Measurements (2019)

A framework for simultaneously tracking Orbcomm low Earth orbit (LEO) satellites and using Doppler measurements drawn from their signals to aid a vehicle's inertial navigation system (INS) is developed. The developed framework enables a navigating vehicle to exploit ambient Orbcomm LEO satellite signal Doppler measurements to aid its INS in a tightly-coupled fashion in the event global navigation satellite system (GNSS) signals become unusable. An overview of the extended Kalman filter-based simultaneous tracking and navigation (STAN) framework is provided. Experimental results are presented showing an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) aiding its INS with Doppler measurements drawn from two Orbcomm LEO satellites, reducing the final position error from 31.7 m to 8.9 m after 30 seconds of GNSS unavailability.
Mice Null for Calsequestrin 1 Exhibit Deficits in Functional Performance and Sarcoplasmic Reticulum Calcium Handling (2011)

In skeletal muscle, the release of calcium (Ca(2+)) by ryanodine sensitive sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) Ca(2+) release channels (i.e., ryanodine receptors; RyR1s) is the primary determinant of contractile filament activation. Much attention has been focused on calsequestrin (CASQ1) and its role in SR Ca(2+) buffering as well as its potential for modulating RyR1, the L-type Ca(2+) channel (dihydropyridine receptor, DHPR) and other sarcolemmal channels through sensing luminal [Ca(2+)]. The genetic ablation of CASQ1 expression results in significant alterations in SR Ca(2+) content and SR Ca(2+) release especially during prolonged activation. While these findings predict a significant loss-of-function phenotype in vivo, little information on functional status of CASQ1 null mice is available. We examined fast muscle in vivo and in vitro and identified significant deficits in functional performance that indicate an inability to sustain contractile activation. In single CASQ1 null skeletal myofibers we demonstrate a decrease in voltage dependent RyR Ca(2+) release with single action potentials and a collapse of the Ca(2+) release with repetitive trains. Under voltage clamp, SR Ca(2+) release flux and total SR Ca(2+) release are significantly reduced in CASQ1 null myofibers. The decrease in peak Ca(2+) release flux appears to be solely due to elimination of the slowly decaying component of SR Ca(2+) release, whereas the rapidly decaying component of SR Ca(2+) release is not altered in either amplitude or time course in CASQ1 null fibers. Finally, intra-SR [Ca(2+)] during ligand and voltage activation of RyR1 revealed a significant decrease in the SR[Ca(2+)](free) in intact CASQ1 null fibers and a increase in the release and uptake kinetics consistent with a depletion of intra-SR Ca(2+) buffering capacity. Taken together we have revealed that the genetic ablation of CASQ1 expression results in significant functional deficits consistent with a decrease in the slowly decaying component of SR Ca(2+) release.

Arkansas Nuclear One Unit One risk-analysis results (1982)

This paper presents the results of the analysis of Arkansas Nuclear One Unit One nuclear power plant which was performed as part of the Interim Reliability Evaluation Program (IREP). ANO-1 is a Babcock and Wilcox pressurized water reactor. The IREP has several objectives, three of which are achieved by the analysis presented in this paper. The three objectives met are: (1) the identification of those accident sequences which are expected to dominate the public health and safety risks associated with operation of ANO-1, (2) the development of state-of-the-art plant system models which can be used as a foundation for subsequent, more intensive applications of probabilistic risk assessment on ANO-1, and (3) the increase in number of experienced practitioners of probabilistic risk assessment. The estimated core melt frequency for ANO-1 is similar to values predicted by probabilistic risk assessments of other light water reactors.
THE EFFECT OF CHOLINERGIC ENHANCEMENT DURING FILLING CYSTOMETRY: CAN EDROPHONIUM CHLORIDE BE USED AS A PROVOCATIVE TEST FOR OVERACTIVE BLADDER? (2001)

This preliminary study implies that edrophonium may serve as a novel, practical and safe drug for provocative cystometry. By significantly increasing cystometry sensitivity the drug would facilitate the identification of the subset of patients with overactive bladder who are currently classified with sensory urgency.
<i>In vitro</i>Antiviral Activity of Ribavirin against Picornaviruses (1992)

The in vitro antiviral activity of ribavirin (Rby; 1-β-D-ribof uranosyl-1,2,4-triazole-3-carboxamide) against selected members of the Picornaviridae is described. When antiviral activity was determined by reduction of infectious virus progeny, Rbv was active against human rhinovirus type 2 (HRV-2) and poliovirus type 1 (Polio-1) in both a drug concentration and multiplicity of infection-(MOI) dependent response. However, an antiviral activity rating assay based on the reductions of cellular cytopathic effects (CPE) indicated that Rbv was active against human rhinoviruses, but was less active against polioviruses. Prophylactic administration of Rbv significantly improved virus yield reduction, especially in Polio-1. SDS Polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) of HRV-2- and Polio-1-infected cell lysates demonstrated that Rbv inhibited the synthesis of viral-specific proteins. Although actinomycin D (Act D) did not significantly influence Picornavirus yields, when added concomitantly with Rbv, Act D reversed Rbv's antiviral effect.
Back Cover: Metabolomics Enables the Structure Elucidation of a Diatom Sex Pheromone (Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 3/2013) (2013)

Asexual division of the diatom Seminavis robusta (see picture) results in size reduction owing to the restriction of the biomineralized cell wall. Below a critical size, diatoms must find a suitable partner for mating and sexual reproduction. In their Communication on page 854 ff., G. Pohnert et al. describe metabolomic studies in which L-diproline was identified as the first diatom pheromone.
A critique of the valiant model (1989)

Aim. Acute pancreatitis is an inflammatory intra-abdominal disease, which takes a severe form in 15-20% of patients and can result in high mortality especially when complicated by acute renal failure. The aim of this study is to assess the possible reduction in the extent of acute kidney injury after administration of eugenol in an experimental model of acute pancreatitis. Materials and Methods. 106 male Wistar rats weighing 220-350 g were divided into 3 groups: (1) Sham, with sham surgery; (2) Control, with induction of acute pancreatitis, through ligation of the biliopancreatic duct; and (3) Eugenol, with induction of acute pancreatitis and eugenol administration at a dose of 15 mg/kg. Serum urea and creatinine, histopathological changes, TNF-α, IL-6, and MPO activity in the kidneys were evaluated at predetermined time intervals. Results. The group that was administered eugenol showed milder histopathological changes than the Control group, TNF-α activity was milder in the Eugenol group, and there was no difference in activity for MPO and IL-6. Serum urea and creatinine levels were lower in the Eugenol group than in the Control group. Conclusions. Eugenol administration was protective for the kidneys in an experimental model of acute pancreatitis in rats.
Raman Scattering by Optical Phonons In TaSe<sub>3</sub>and NbSe<sub>3</sub> (1982)

Abstract Room-temperature Raman spectra have been obtained between 20 cm−1 and 400 cm−1 on the low-dimensional metals TaSe3, and NbSe3. The Ag spectra exhibit numerous closely spaced lines corresponding to vibrational modes with displacement vectors perpendicular to the chain axis. To interpret these spectra we have made direct use of the bond-strength results of our lattice dynamical model for ZrSe3, which has a similar prismatic chain structure. The broad correlations obtained between the data and the calculated frequencies indicate that the C2V symmetry of the chain is preserved in the Bg vibrations; that strong metal-selenium bonds exist which link the chains into layers; and that Se-Se pairing within the chains is weaker and more varied in TaSe3 and NbSe3 than in ZrSe3.
EPIGENETIC EFFECTS OF THE METHYLATING AGENT 5‐(3‐METHYL‐1‐TRIAZENO) IMIDAZOLE‐4‐CARBOXAMIDE IN HUMAN MELANOMA CELLS (1984)

The anti-tumour methylating agent 5-(3-methyl-1-triazeno) imidazole-4-carboxamide (MTIC) increased the thymidine and deoxycytidine pools but not the deoxyguanosine pool in human melanoma cells. Incorporation of deoxyguanosine and deoxyadenosine was strongly inhibited by MTIC due to formation of the decomposition product 5-aminoimidazole-4-carboxamide (AIC). Theophylline, natural nucleosides and sulphydryl compounds did not affect the toxicity of MTIC in either MTIC-sensitive (Mer-) or autologous-resistant (Mer+) melanoma cells. 3-Aminobenzamide (3 mM for 48 h), an inhibitor of ADP-ribosyl transferase, greatly enhanced MTIC toxicity in the resistant compared with the sensitive cell line.
Lunar influence on the occurrence of aurora (1977)

The lunar dependence of the occurrence frequency of bright aurora reported by Stoffregen [1968, 1970] and thought by him to be caused by magnetospheric disturbances at the moon's orbit may be due to a hindrance of poleward bound plasma flow by the combined effect of the moon and its magnetohydrodynamic wake when the moon is passing through the plasma sheet in the geomagnetic tail at the geocentric distance of 60 RE.
Exclusion of uniparental inheritance of chromosome 15 in a fetus with a familial dicentric (Y;15) translocation (1998)

We present a prenatal case with a 45,X,dic(Y;15) (q11.23;p11.1) karyotype and describe the inheritance pattern of the chromosome 15s. Chromosome 15 has an imprinted region and inheritance of both chromosome 15 from one parent results in either Angelman syndrome (AS) (paternal inheritance) or Prader–Willi syndrome (PWS) (maternal inheritance). Parental chromosome studies revealed that the father carried the same dicentric (Y;15) translocation. Since familial chromosome rearrangements can result in aberrant chromosomal segregation during meiosis, we wanted to exclude paternal uniparental inheritance of chromosome 15. By using DNA microsatellite markers at several 15q11q13 loci, we determined that the fetus had inherited his normal non-translocated chromosome 15 from his mother. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Indikationen und Ergebnisse der Schulterarthrodese und begleitender myoplastischer Eingriffe (2008)

From 1949 until 1980 sixty shoulder arthrodeses were performed at the orthopedic department of Heidelberg university. During this period of time a change concerning indication and operative method took part. The increasing number of severe motor cycle accidents with partial injuries of the brachial plexus during the last years makes additional myoplastic operations necessary. The ideal position of the arthrodesis is demonstrated as well results of long term follow ups are repeated.
Neutral beam interactions with materials. Annual report 1 June 1983-31 May 1984 (1984)

A duopigatron has been used to accelerate ion and neutral beams of hydrogen, argon krypton, and xenon. An important class of ion source plasma instabilities has been investigated. The frequency of source plasma oscillations scale as the square root of ion mass. Ion extraction efficiencies for the various mass species show excellent agreement with theory in the transition from the space charge limited regime to the ion saturation regime. Displaced aperture grids with geometic focusing have been studied. Ruby laser ablation plasma experiments are underway and the ablation plasma parameters have been measured. Theoretical research has been directed towards developing analytic expressions for neutral beam stopping in solid matter in order to compare with ion beam stopping. A second part of the theoretical effort concerns coupling of three computational physics models to simulate the interaction between a neutral/ion beam with a target ablation plasma.
Application of Fatty Acids To Elicit Lipoxygenase-Mediated Host- Plant Resistance to Twospotted Spider Mites (Acari: Tetranychidae) in Phaseolus vulgaris L. (1994)

It has been hypothesized that fatty acid oxidation products from the lipoxygenase (LOX) pathway can play an important role in plant defense against herbivorous arthropods. Studies were conducted to investigate whether LOX substrate treatment is correlated with defense against spider mites. Excised leaf tissue from Phaseolus vulgaris L. seedlings was treated with several fatty acid substrates of the LOX enzyme complex. Spider mites confined to treated tissue exhibited reduced fecundity relative to untreated controls. The same fatty acid solutions were applied to intact seedlings and allowed to grow for 7 d. Mites were then individually caged on newly emerged leaves and their fecundity monitored for 20 d. Mites on seedlings treated with those fatty acids that are LOX substrates exhibited fecundity reductions similar to that reported previously in bioassay studies where mite resistance was induced by wounding or prior mite feeding. These results suggest that a proposed biochemical basis for this systemically acquired resistance mechanism is probably substrate limited.
