The Pain Management of Frozen Shoulder (1993)

There are many patients who complain of shoulder pain with stiffness. Sadly these patients are often neglected by many physicians. An effective treatment is necessary in clinical practice. In our pain clinic, the fifty patients who were diagnosed frozen shoulder were randomly selected and followed up from Oct. 1992 to Mar. 1993. Important factors affecting outcome include; time from onset of pain and stiffness until treatment, initial severity of the pain and stiffness. We found that appropriate treatment led overall to improved patient satisfaction. The results are as follows. For patients treated within 3 weeks of syndrome occurrence, the recovery rate was in excess of 80%. But, if the patients had suffered for more than 6 months prior to treatment, the recovery rate was below 70%. For problems present in excess of six years only slight improvement was observed. These patients were difficult to manage. If the condition of patients was class I, the recovery rate was 94.4%. But in the cases of class III, only 25% of patients were recovered. From our results, we believe that early treatment is the best choice in management of frozen shoulder patients.

Experimental Researches in Electricity (2012)

Originally apprenticed to a bookbinder, Michael Faraday (1791–1867) began to attend Sir Humphrey Davy's chemistry lectures purely out of interest. Although he soon recognised that science would be his vocation, there was no defined career path to follow, and when he applied to Davy for work he was gently told to 'attend to the bookbinding'. It was only after a laboratory explosion in which Davy partially lost his sight that Faraday was taken on as his amanuensis. From this difficult beginning stemmed perhaps the most famous scientific career of the nineteenth century. This three-volume collection of Faraday's papers provides a comprehensive record of a key branch of his work. Volume 1, reissued here in a second edition of 1849, covers his early work in electricity and magnetism, including papers on lightning, electric fish, and notes on the elaborate and often beautiful experiments conducted to investigate whether magnetism could produce electricity.
Performance Characteristics of a Centrifugal Compressor with Air Injection (1973)

The parameters which influence the performance characteristics of centrifugal compressors with air injection through nozzles at the rotor tip are developed using both dimensional analysis and a simple model. Experiments on a small centrifugal compressor show that the injection air pressure is the main influence on the overall performance such as excess torque, increased delivery pressure and increased delivery flow. With air injection the pressure-mass flow characteristics are displaced to the right with surge occurring at increased total mass flow rates and the overall pressure ratio across the compressor is increased for the same total mass flow.
Effect of low‐power He–Ne laser irradiation on rabbit articular chondrocytes in vitro (2004)

The present study showed that a particular laser irradiation stimulates articular chondrocytes proliferation and secretion. These findings might be clinically relevant, indicating that low-power laser irradiation treatment is likely to achieve the repair of articular cartilage in clinic.
Scan gain enhancement in phased arrays by element pattern synthesis (1991)

The usefulness of element pattern synthesis is examined for microstrip patch arrays, by using a composite patch, radiating the TM/sub 11/ and TM/sub 21/ mode patterns. The combined pattern is an asymmetric one, with a peak near midway between the broadside and endfire directions. Its location in the azimuthal plane is scanned readily by a single phase shifter. The element pattern has also a null in the direction opposite to the peak that reduces the grating lobe beam for large scans. The performance of phased arrays using such an element is studied and compared with standard patch arrays. The results confirm the expectations in gain enhancement and improved array pattern shape. To examine the performance experimentally, a 7-element array with triangular lattice was fabricated and tested. For large beam scans the array gain is found to be equivalent to the gain of a 19-element array using the TM/sub 11/ mode patches. Both arrays have similar surface area, bu the composite 7-element array has a considerably simpler beam forming network, due to its smaller size. >
Identification and Characterization of Outer Membrane Vesicle-Associated Proteins in Salmonella enterica Serovar Typhimurium (2014)

Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium is a primary cause of enteric diseases and has acquired a variety of virulence factors during its evolution into a pathogen. Secreted virulence factors interact with commensal flora and host cells and enable Salmonella to survive and thrive in hostile environments. Outer membrane vesicles (OMVs) released from many Gram-negative bacteria function as a mechanism for the secretion of complex mixtures, including virulence factors. We performed a proteomic analysis of OMVs that were isolated under standard laboratory and acidic minimal medium conditions and identified 14 OMV-associated proteins that were observed in the OMV fraction isolated only under the acidic minimal medium conditions, which reproduced the nutrient-deficient intracellular milieu. The inferred roles of these 14 proteins were diverse, including transporter, enzyme, and transcriptional regulator. The absence of these proteins influenced Salmonella survival inside murine macrophages. Eleven of these proteins were predicted to possess secretion signal sequences at their N termini, and three (HupA, GlnH, and PhoN) of the proteins were found to be translocated into the cytoplasm of host cells. The comparative proteomic profiling of OMVs performed in this study revealed different protein compositions in the OMVs isolated under the two different conditions, which indicates that the OMV cargo depends on the growth conditions and provides a deeper insight into how Salmonella utilizes OMVs to adapt to environmental changes.
Strain specificity of spontaneous and adrenergically induced HSV-1 ocular reactivation in latently infected rabbits (1987)

Spontaneous ocular shedding and adrenergic induction of ocular shedding were examined in rabbits infected with ten strains of herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1): McKrae, KOS, F, Rodanus, 17 Syn+, RE, E-43, SC-16, MacIntyre, and CGA-3. All ocular inoculations were with 50 microliter of HSV-1 with titers between 1-10 X 10(6) PFU/ml. All corneas, except those that received the McKrae strain, were scarified. Acute ocular infection was determined by slit-lamp biomicroscopy. Dendritic keratitis or geographic ulcers developed in all eyes of all rabbits within 10 days after ocular inoculation. All eyes of all surviving rabbits were swabbed for 20 consecutive days during days 20-39 postinoculation (PI). On PI day 19, no active lesions were present as judged by slit-lamp biomicroscopy. Ocular tear film was collected on a Dacron-tipped swab and placed on primary rabbit kidney cell monolayers. The cell monolayers were monitored for cytopathic effects consistent with HSV-1 infection. Spontaneous HSV-1 shedding was detected in some eyes from all groups of latently infected rabbits, except those infected with CGA-3. Spontaneous shedding (positive swabs/total swabs) of the other nine strains ranged from 0.7% to 15.7%. After PI day 42, the rabbit eyes received 6-hydroxydopamine by iontophoresis, followed for 5 days by topical application of 2% epinephrine. This procedure results in induced HSV-1 ocular shedding for a duration of 3-5 days in rabbits infected with the McKrae strain. In rabbits latently infected with KOS, F, RE, MacIntyre, and CGA-3, no induced HSV-1 shedding was detected.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
Multipolar Contributions to the Second Harmonic Response from Mixed DiA−SDS Molecular Aggregates (2008)

Polarization-resolved hyper-Rayleigh scattering experiments are reported for mixed suspensions of a constant concentration of 4-(4-dihexadecylaminostyryl)-N-methylpyridinium iodide (DiA), a cationic amphiphilic compound with a strong quadratic hyperpolarizability, and varying concentrations of sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), an anionic surfactant with a vanishing quadratic hyperpolarizability. It is observed that the electric dipole contribution of the HRS signal intensity attributed to the free DiA molecules in the solution decreases with an increasing concentration of SDS whereas the electric quadrupole contribution increases simultaneously. These changes are direct indicators of the molecular changes undergone in the solution, and in particular the appearance of centrosymmetric mixed DiA-SDS micelles. A detailed analysis of the HRS signal intensity is performed, allowing the monitoring of the evolution of the organization of these mixed molecular systems. These experimental results are described within a general model based on the centrosymmetrical spatial organization of the DiA probe compounds in the micelles. These results underline the potential use of polarization-resolved hyper-Rayleigh scattering as a noninvasive technique to investigate the molecular organization at the nanometer scale in liquid suspensions.
A Comprehensive Algorithm for Estimating Lithium-Ion Battery Parameters From Measurements (2017)

The use of equivalent circuit models for simulating the operating behavior of lithium-ion batteries is well established in the automotive and the renewable energy sector. However, finding the correct parameter set for these models is still a challenging task. This manuscript proposes a comprehensive methodology for estimating the required, temperature dependent simulation parameters from battery measurements. Based on a specific load current and prior system knowledge, an algorithm first analyses the correlation between current steps and the measured terminal voltage. Second, a combination of particle swarm optimization and Gauss-Newton algorithm fits the initially estimated parameters from the first algorithm to the measurement data. Finally, the dependency of each simulation parameter on both the state of charge and the battery temperature is determined. As this contribution aims at modeling reversible effects of lithium-ion batteries, ageing effects are neglected. The validation against measurement data proves that the generated parameter set enables the user to accurately reproduce and investigate the operating behavior of the chosen battery. Applied to a lithium-iron-phosphate cell, the comparison between measurements and simulations in standardized real-life automotive driving cycles (Artemis, FTP75 and WLTC) shows a terminal voltage error of less than 1.09% within the typical operational window between state of charge 0.15 and 0.95.
Behavioral problems among patients in skilled nursing facilities. (1984)

This survey of a 33 per cent random sample (1,139) of 3,456 patients in 42 skilled nursing facilities (SNFs) in upstate New York yielded 64.2 per cent with significant behavioral problems. Of these, 257 (22.6 per cent) of the total sample had what were defined as "serious" problems (i.e., excluding those with only impaired judgment and/or physical restraint orders). Details of the problem behaviors of this group, their previous history, current management, frequency of psychiatric consultation, and adequacy of documentation were analyzed. Median age was the same as the general SNF population, a slightly lower proportion was female, and, while 66.5 per cent had diagnoses indicating organic brain syndrome, very few had specific psychiatric diagnoses, and only 4.7 per cent had been admitted from a psychiatric facility. The attending physician had noted the behavioral problem in the record in only 9.7 per cent and had requested psychiatric consultation in 14.8 per cent of these "serious" cases. The need for more staff training in mental health care, and more physician and psychiatric consultative assistance are discussed.

the use of temperature controlled RF devices may optimize power delivery to the tissue and therefore facilitate radiofrequency catheter ablation procedures.
The role of cytokinins in responses to water deficit in tobacco plants over‐expressing <i>trans</i>‐zeatin O‐glucosyltransferase gene under <i>35S</i> or <i>SAG12</i> promoters (2007)

The impact of water deficit progression on cytokinin (CK), auxin and abscisic acid (ABA) levels was followed in upper, middle and lower leaves and roots of Nicotiana tabacum L. cv. Wisconsin 38 plants [wild type (WT)]. ABA content was strongly increased during drought stress, especially in upper leaves. In plants with a uniformly elevated total CK content, expressing constitutively the trans-zeatin O-glucosyltransferase gene (35S::ZOG1), a delay in the increase of ABA was observed; later on, ABA levels were comparable with those of WT. As drought progressed, the bioactive CK content in leaves gradually decreased, being maintained longer in the upper leaves of all tested genotypes. Under severe stress (11 d dehydration), a large stimulation of cytokinin oxidase/dehydrogenase (CKX) activity was monitored in lower leaves, which correlated well with the decrease in bioactive CK levels. This suggests that a gradient of bioactive CKs in favour of upper leaves is established during drought stress, which might be beneficial for the preferential protection of these leaves. During drought, significant accumulation of CKs occurred in roots, partially because of decreased CKX activity. Simultaneously, auxin increased in roots and lower leaves. This indicates that both CKs and auxin play a role in root response to severe drought, which involves the stimulation of primary root growth and branching inhibition.
Myocardial perfusion imaging with technetium-99m SQ30217: comparison with thallium-201 and coronary anatomy. (1989)

Myocardial perfusion in ten normal volunteers and 20 patients with coronary artery disease documented by recent coronary arteriography was studied with 99mTc-labeled SQ30217 and 201TI. Plantar 201TI imaging followed standard treadmill exercise and planar SQ30217 imaging followed upright bicycle exercise, performed to angina, or the same double product achieved on the treadmill test. Upright anterior, 30 degrees left anterior oblique, and 60 degrees left anterior oblique images were obtained for 3, 6, and 9 min, respectively, starting 2 min after injection of 15 mCi of 99mTc SQ30217. A second 15-mCi dose was injected at rest approximately 2 hr later, and the same imaging protocol was followed. No adverse reactions or laboratory abnormalities attributable to SQ30217 were observed. All scans on the normal volunteers were interpreted as normal. Qualitative readings of both tests were equally sensitive for detecting patients with coronary disease (SQ30217 - 16/20, TI - 17/20, p = NS) and identifying abnormal vessels (SQ30217 - 19/45, TI - 21/45, p = NS). Both agents were falsely positive in 1/15 vessels. Ten vascular regions showed persistent abnormalities on resting SQ30217 scans; eight of these were distal to stenoses of at least 90% and three were also abnormal on thallium redistribution images. Hepatic uptake of SQ30217 obscured inferoapical segments in some views in 14/20 patients but did not interfere with abnormal vessel identification.
Network Path Capacity Comparison without Accurate Packet Time Information (2014)

A fundamental problem of current bandwidth estimation methods is that they require accurate packet time information. However, it is hard to accurately measure packet time information in an increasing number of network environments, such as widely deployed high speed networks, and emerging cloud computing networks. Motivated by the observation that many applications only need the relative bandwidth information of different paths instead of the actual bandwidth information of a single path, we propose sequence-based bandwidth comparison. Specifically, this paper proposes a capacity comparison method, called Path Comp, which can relatively compare the capacities of the paths from two senders to the same receiver. Path Comp mainly uses the arrival sequence information of packets, and does not require any accurate packet time information. Our test bed, campus network, and EC2 experiments show that Path Comp can not only determine which path is faster but also accurately determine how much faster in a variety of network environments.
A data access framework for integration to facilitate efficient building operation (2014)

Building Automation and Control Systems (BACs) are used to manage the day-to-day functions, operation and maintenance of a huge diversity of equipment within facilities of varying size and function. These systems are developed by a large number of hardware and software manufacturers who produce proprietary products designed to solve specific problems. As a result a number of different BACS can be operating within a single facility controlling various devices and producing significant quantities of data. This data can prove difficult to access due to the proprietary nature of the individual applications, thereby limiting the potential for a holistic view of a facilities operation and limiting the scope for big data analytics. This paper proposes the implementation of a Data Access Framework to coalesce the disparate information sources that can exist within a facility via OPC into a tagged database with particular focus on Heating Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) as a test case.
A database design for uniform representation of hypermedia and mathematical models (1994)

Semantic data modeling techniques are used to provide a theoretical and applied basis for construction of hypermedia systems which incorporate mathematical models. Traditional hypermedia systems provide informal modeling tools and fail to represent adequately the concepts which they are intended to organize and present to users. As a result, such systems provide few services, and they must be constructed and applied with considerable manual labor. The components of the hypermedia system, including text, drawings, photographs, video, equations, plots, conceptual models, symbolic manipulations, and simulation, can be described as objects in a database. By applying sound data modeling techniques, behavior, structure, and association among concepts are formally described. Data manipulation techniques including query processing, automatic classification, and knowledge discovery can also be applied. A user interface is generated automatically once the underlying structure of concepts in a particular domain is captured in the database. This work is applied to organizing and presenting materials for a graduate level course in biological systems analysis.
Hydrolysis of lecithin and sphingomyelin by preparations of Clostridium perfringens type A culture filtrates (2015)

Since Macfarlane (1948) demonstrated that preparations of C. per-fringens alpha-toxin hydrolyzed sphingomyelin, it has been assumed, but neirer demonstrated, that one enzyme was responsible for the hydrolysis of both lecithin and sphingomyelin, The experiments reported in this paper were designed to demonstrate the presence of a sphingomyelinase, distinct from the lecithinase, in alpha-toxin preparations.Alpha-toxin preparations were obtained by ammonium sulfate precipitation, acetone precipitation, and by dialyzing culture filtrate against glycerine.The ratio of sphingomyelinase activity to lecithinase activity was about the same for each preparation.If two enzymes were present, the relative concentrations of each enzyme remained constant when precipitated by ammonium sulfate or acetone.After preparations of alpha-toxin had been inactivated by treatment with cysteine, heat, and antitoxin they were tested for their sphingomyelinase and lecithinase activity.In each experiment the inhibition of sphingomyelin hydrolysis corresponded to the inhibition of lecithin hydrolysis, The inhibition experiments provided no evidence for the presence of two enzymes in preparations of alpha-toxin.
High quality PZT thick films using silicon mold technique for MEMS applications (2003)

The present paper proposes a simple fabrication technique of high quality PZT thick films that call for silicon mold technique. The fabrication process adopts the silicon with back window obtained from silicon anisotropic etching as the silicon mold, and the improved PZT sol is dispensed in the silicon mold. The PZT films obtained using single spin coating with the thickness of l00 /spl mu/ m or higher, which is over the depth of back window of the silicon substrate, are crack-free and have good morphology. The PZT films with perfect perovskite structure have excellent piezoelectric property and the d/sub 33/ is about 170pC/N. Ferroelectric hysteresis loops are measured, and the remnant polarization (P/sub r/) of the PZT ceramics pellet is about 25 /spl mu/C/cm/sup 2/ and the coercive field (E/sub C/) is about 27kV/cm. In the radio-frequency (RF) region, the dielectric constant is about 350 and the dielectric loss is less than 0.01.
Optimal configuration and partner selection in dynamic manufacturing networks (2002)

We develop a linear programming model for integrated partner selection and scheduling in a web-enabled global manufacturing network environment. We assume that all stakeholders in the supply chain share information on their capacities, schedules and cost structures. Based on this information, the model addresses the issue of partner selection for minimal cost of manufacturing and delivery. The model is solved using ILOG optimization tools.
