Intersection Decision Support: An Overview (2007)

Minnesota joined with California, Virginia, and the FHWA in a pooled fund consortium (the Infrastructure Consortium) dedicated to improving intersection safety. The Minnesota team's objective is to develop effective strategies to mitigate high crash rates at rural intersections. \n\nRural Intersection Decision Support (IDS) focuses on enhancing the driver's ability to successfully negotiate rural intersections. The system uses sensing and communication technology to identify safe gaps in traffic on a high-speed rural expressway and communicate this information to drivers waiting to enter the intersection from a minor intersecting road. The goal of this system is to improve safety without introducing traffic signals, which on high-speed rural roads often lead to an increase in rear-end crashes.\n\nThe Rural IDS research program achieved four main research results: an analysis of rural expressway intersections, including development of a technique to identify those with higher-than-expected crash rates; development of a statistical model that can be used to estimate the benefits of deploying IDS at a specific rural intersection; design and implementation of a rural intersection surveillance and data acquisition system capable of quantifying the behavior of drivers; and a task analysis, design study, and simulator-based evaluation of Driver Infrastructure Interface (DII) concepts for communicating relevant information to stopped drivers. \n\nThis report summarizes the results of the rural IDS system.

Attenuation of the Polypeptide 7B2, Prohormone Convertase PC2, and Vasopressin in the Hypothalamus of Some Prader-Willi Patients: Indications for a Processing Defect (1998)

7B2 is a neuroendocrine chaperone interacting with the prohormone convertase PC2 in the regulated secretory pathway. Its gene is located near the Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS) region on chromosome 15. In a previous study we were able to show 7B2 immunoreactivity in the supraoptic nucleus (SON) or the paraventricular nucleus (PVN) in only three of five PWS patients. Here we report that in contrast with five other PWS patients, the neurons in the hypothalamic SON and PVN of the two 7B2-immunonegative PWS patients also failed to show any reaction using two antibodies directed against processed vasopressin (VP). On the other hand, even these two cases reacted normally with five antibodies that recognize different parts of the VP precursor. This finding pointed to a processing defect. Indeed, the same patients had no PC2 immunoreactivity in the SON or PVN, whereas PC1 immunoreactivity was only slightly diminished. In conclusion, in the VP neurons of two PWS patients, greatly reduced amounts of 7B2 and PC2 are present, resulting in diminished VP precursor processing.
THE EFFECTS OF YEAR-ROUND TRAINING ON COLLEGIATE WOMEN ROWERS 925 (1997)

The purpose of this study was to elucidate the effects of year-round training on aerobic and anaerobic capacities in collegiate women rowers. The subjects were ten collegiate women rowers. Subjects were divided into two groups according to training status; five rowers were served as training group(Tr), and another five subjects who have retired two months prior to this study were served as control group(Cs). Aerobic capacities were assessed by the 6-min maximal rowing test and the incremental exercise test by a rowing ergometer. Anaerobic capacities were determined by the maximal anaerobic power(MAnP) test and Wingate-test on a cycle ergometer. MAnP and mean power during Wingate-test were unchanged with training in both groups. Only in Tr group, peak power (from 229±31.9W (Jan) to 261±35.2W (Sept), p<0.05) and mean power (from 181±12.3W to 193±32.3W; p<0.05) during the 6-min maximal rowing test was significantly increased. Blood lactate profile curve indicated right-ward sift only in Tr group, and lactate threshold (LT; from 96±12.5W to 121±14.6W, p<0.01) and the onset of blood lactate accumulation (OBLA; from 1.44±10.4W to 163±6.3W, p<0.01) were significantly improved with training. These results indicate that laboratory test of oarsman should replicate the movement patterns of training, and that year-round training in collegiate women rowers were effective for aerobic and anaerobic capacities. Serial measurements of physiologic capabilities can be used to assess the benefits of specific training.
Tissue thromboplastin generation in circulating mononuclear phagocytes and development of coagulation disorders during E. coli endotoxinaemia in pigs. (1985)

Tissue thromboplastin generation in monocytes was studied during various stages of Escherichia coli endotoxinaemia in pigs. The pigs were monitored in halothane anaesthesia and mechanically ventilated. Blood was sampled from the superior caval vein before and during endotoxin infusion and up to 6 hours after its start. Monnuclear leukocytes were harvested with Lymphoprep separation and monocyte counts were made, using TRITC-labelled sheep erythrocytes, acridine orange and a fluorescence microscope. Thromboplastin was quantified in a two-stage assay by incubating the test sample together with purified factor X, factor VII and Ca++. The generated factor Xa was thereafter assayed. There was statistically significant increase of tissue thromboplastin activity in monocytes after endotoxin infusion. Maximum level was reached at the end of the infusion and was maintained throughout the observation period. Decrease occurred in platelets, leukocytes, antithrombin III, fibrinogen and clotting factors V, VII and VIII, and clotting time was prolonged. These findings indicated significant disseminated intravascular coagulation. The endotoxin-stimulated monocytes with their elevated tissue thrombo-plastin activity thus may play an important part in development of the DIC which so often follows septicemia.
Cracked Naphtha Coinjection in Steam-Assisted Gravity Drainage (2016)

Steam-assisted gravity drainage (SAGD) is a thermal in situ recovery method for heavy oil and oil sands that has been employed to exploit the vast petroleum deposits in the Athabasca region of northern Alberta that are not amenable to surface mining. Nevertheless, in spite of its success in recovering highly viscous bitumen, SAGD remains a costly technology that requires large energy input in the form of steam for each barrel of produced oil. This requires large quantities of water and natural gas, resulting in sizable greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and extensive postproduction water treatment. There are ongoing efforts to make SAGD more energy-efficient and environmentally sustainable by reducing steam consumption while maintaining favorable oil production rates and ultimate oil recovery. Such efforts include the coinjection of steam and solvent in a process called expanding solvent SAGD (ES-SAGD) wherein bitumen that is essentially immobile at initial reservoir conditions is made mobile by heating and mixing solvent into the oil. In this work, experiments are reported in which cracked naphtha is applied as an additive to steam for the production of Long Lake bitumen. The results conclusively demonstrate that coinjecting cracked naphtha with steam, under specific conditions, significantly increases oil production rates and reduces overall steam requirements.
Butyrate presence in distinct gastrointestinal tract segments modifies differentially digestive processes and amino acid bioavailability in young broiler chickens (2017)

The hypothesis was tested that butyrate presence in the digesta of distinct gastrointestinal tract (GIT) segments of broilers leads to differential effects on digesta retention time, gut morphology, and proteolytic enzymatic activities, ultimately resulting in differences in protein digestibility. A total of 320 male day-old Ross 308 broilers were randomly assigned to 5 dietary treatments: 1) control (no butyrate), 2) unprotected butyrate (main activity in the crop and gastric regions), 3) tributyrin (main activity in the small intestine), 4) fat-coated butyrate (activity in the whole GIT) and 5) unprotected butyrate combined with tributyrin, each replicated 8 times. Rapeseed meal was used in combination with a fine dietary particle size in order to challenge the digestive capacity of young broilers. Birds were dissected at 22, 23, and 24 d of age and samples of digesta at various GIT locations as well as tissues were collected. Butyrate concentration varied significantly across GIT segments depending on treatment, indicating that the dietary contrasts were successful. The apparent ileal digestibility of methionine tended to increase when butyrate and/or propionate was present in colonic and cecal contents, possibly due to modifications of GIT development and digesta transit time. Butyrate presence in the digesta of the crop, proventriculus and gizzard, on the contrary, decreased the apparent ileal digestibility of several amino acids (AA). In addition, butyrate presence beyond the gizzard elicited anorexic effect that might be attributable to changes in intestinal enteroendocrine L-cells secretory activities. The present study demonstrates that, in broilers, effects of butyrate on digestive processes are conditioned by the GIT segment wherein the molecule is present and indicates its influence on digestive function and bioavailability of AA.
Electron-beam-excited 0. 5-GW XeCl laser (1981)

A Fast and Flexible Platform for Fault Injection and Evaluation in Verilog-Based Simulations (2009)

This paper presents a complete framework for Verilog-based fault injection and evaluation. In contrast to existing approaches, the proposed solution is the first one based on the Verilog programming interface (VPI). Due to standardization of the VPI, the framework is-in contrast to simulator command based techniques-independent from the used simulator. Additionally, it does not require recompilation for different fault injection experiments like techniques modifying the Verilog code for fault injection. The feasibility of the VPI-based approach is shown in a case study.
Separation of fluorine from zirconium and hafnium hydroxofluorides (1973)

Translated from Zh. Prikl. Khim.; 46: No. 7, 1438-1443(Jul For separation of fluorine by electrodialysis it is recommended that membranes which are inent with respect to zirconium fluoride complexes be used. Intensive separation of fluorine from zirconium (or hafnium) hydroxofluoride can be achieved by high-voltage electrodialysis at voltages above 600 V. The existence of previously unknown zirconium hydroxofluoride complexes with atomic ratios F/Zr = 0.6 and 0.2 was demonstrated. Some separation of zirconium and hafnium on EDE- 10P resin was achieved as the result of preferential elution of the hafnium fluoride complex by sulfuric acid solutions. (auth)
Impact of the Different Parasitic Inductances on the Switching Behavior of SiC MOSFETs (2018)

This paper experimentally investigates into the effects of parasitic inductances on the switching performance of a SiC MOSFET half bridge. As the switching dynamics of wide-bandgap power semiconductors are by magnitudes larger compared to silicon devices, the parasitic elements in the switching cell become increasingly important, as they limit the current and voltage slopes and cause oscillations. A thorough understanding of those effects is necessary for the design of highly efficient and integrated next-generation power electronic converters. An implementation method to realize cheap and well-reproducible variable inductors in the nanohenry range is presented. Furthermore, a test PCB equipped with SiC MOS-FETs is built and double pulse experiments are carried out under the variation of all relevant inductances in the switching cell. The results are analyzed with respect to the switching performance and differences between the switching transients of Si and SiC devices are demonstrated and explained with respect to the parasitic elements.

<title>Two-dimensional square-lattice photonic bandgap single-cell laser</title> (2002)

Novel square lattice photonic band gap lasers are realized at room temperature from single cell photonic crystal slab micro-cavities fabricated in InGaAsP materials emitting at 1.5 micrometers . This single cell photonic band gap laser operates in the new class of two-dimensional mode to be classified as the smallest possible whispering gallery mode with genuine energy null at the center. The low-loss nondegenerate mode with modal volume of 0.1 ((lambda) /2)<SUP>3</SUP> demonstrates a spectrometer-limited below-threshold quality factor > 2000 and a theoretical quality factor of > 10,000. Threshold incident peak pump power of 0.8 mW is achieved from this whispering-gallery-type laser mode. The other class of photonic crystal lasers is also observed outside the photonic band gap of the square lattice, operating in the mode characteristically one-dimensional.
A single phase uninterruptible power supply system using a bidirectional sinusoidal PWM inverter (2005)

This paper presents an uninterruptible power supply system using a bidirectional sinusoidal PWM inverter. This system offers a smooth transition during grid failure, load voltage stabilisation under varying input grid voltage and lower line current harmonic distortion. The inverter maintains the load voltage and the power flow from the grid by controlling its magnitude and phase angle with respect to the grid. Some preliminary results from computer simulation and laboratory testing are presented in this paper.
Variations in the optical properties of terrigenous mineral‐rich particulate matter suspended in seawater (2007)

From laboratory measurements, we determined the spectral mass‐specific absorption, a p * (λ), and scattering, b p * (λ, coefficients for terrigenous mineral‐rich particulate assemblages suspended in seawater. The samples were derived mostly from surface soils in different locations and consisted of small particles (,10 mm). Both a p * (λ and b p * (λ showed large variability associated with variations in particle size distribution (PSD) and origin of samples. Variations in a p * (λ produced by changes in PSD are consistent with the package effect, in that samples with a higher percentage of small‐sized particles have higher a p * (λ. The variability among the samples is also associated with composition of particulate matter. For example, a p * (λ at blue wavelengths varied from ~0.05 m 2 g −1 for organic‐dominated soil dust to ~0.1‐0.5 m 2 g −1 for mineral‐dominated samples. The effects of particulate composition are reflected in a broad range of imaginary refractive index of particles, which in the blue can exceed 0.2‐0.3 for mineral‐dominated samples rich in iron oxides. The patterns of the variability in the scattering coefficient among the samples are quite intricate because of the effects of PSD and composition. In general, b p * (λ ranged from about 0.5 to 1.5 m 2 g −1 , and the spectral behavior varied from nearly flat spectra to the spectral dependency ~l2 λ with a slope λ as high as ~1.3 for the sample with the largest contribution of small particles.

An acyltransferase-like gene obtained by differential gene expression profiles of quinolizidine alkaloid-producing and nonproducing cultivars of Lupinus angustifolius (2011)

Quinolizidine alkaloids (QAs) are one of the representative groups of plant alkaloids. To isolate genes involved in QA biosynthesis, we performed a differential gene expression analysis by PCR-select subtraction between a QA-producing bitter cultivar and a nonproducing sweet cultivar of Lupinus angustifolius. We obtained 71 and 43 clones specific to the bitter and sweet cultivars, respectively. Among the genes specifically expressed in the bitter cultivar, an acyltransferase-like gene (LaAT: Lupinus angustifolius acyltransferase) showing homology to the BAHD protein family was isolated. LaAT showed the strongest homology to the Arabidopsis thaliana BAHD acyltransferases involved in the formation of conjugated polyamines. Semi-quantitative RT-PCR revealed that LaAT expression was highest in the young leaves but barely detectable in the other organs of the bitter cultivar plant, whereas LaAT expression was undetectable in the sweet cultivar.
The effects of in utero androgen exposure on growth characteristics in sheep (2008)

Over the last 20 years experimental evidence has indicated that the environment of the fetus, and the substances to which a developing animal is exposed, can have a significant impact on its growth and development, both in utero and later in life. Recent studies have demonstrated that exposure of fetal sheep to exogenous male hormones (androgens) during a relatively short critical window of development (d30-90 of 147d gestation) leads to abnormalities in growth in males and females, concomitant with virilization and reproductive dysfunction in females. The mechanisms underlying these prenatally programmed effects, especially those on growth, are poorly understood. In addition, it is unclear whether the abnormalities in growth are mediated via the actions at androgen or estrogen receptors. The aim of this study was to characterize patterns of growth in male and female Poll Dorset lambs that were exposed to twice weekly injections of (i)vegetable oil (control); (ii) testosterone propionate (TP; 200mg/week); or (iii)dihydrotestosterone (DHT; 200mg/week), between d30-90 of gestation. Two androgens were used as TP can be aromatized (androgenic and estrogenic actions) whereas DHT is nonaromatizable (androgenic actions only). Animals were weighed at birth, and weights, measures of stature (crown-rump length, wither height, girth) and backfat thickness (assessed by ultrasound) were obtained at 1, 2 and 3 months of age. A subset of animals (2 males and 2 females per group) was euthanazed at birth to obtain measures of bone formation. At birth DHT males (3.4±0.35; n=9) and females (3.2±0.31; n=14), and TP females (3.5±0.23; n=17), were significantly (P<0.01) lighter than TP males (4.6±0.29; n=11) and control males (4.5±0.33; n=7)and females (4.3±0.15; n=14), which were not different. At 1, 2 and 3 months of age TP males were significantly (P<0.05) heavier than all other groups, while by 2 months of age, DHT females were significantly (P<0.05) lighter than all other groups. Consequently, average daily gain (ADG) from birth to each measured time period was significantly (P<0.01) greater in the TP males compared to all other groups. Similarly, by 2 months of age, TP males had a significantly (P<0.05) greater crown-rump length and girth in comparison to all other groups, while overall DHT animals were significantly (P<0.05) smaller in length, height and girth in comparison to control and TP animals. Backfat thickness over the loin was significantly (P<0.05) less in DHT animals, in comparison to control and TP animals, which were not different. Examination of lambs euthanazed at birth demonstrated that all 4 DHT animals had compromised long bone growth and exhibited marked signs of osteoporosis (via radiographic analysis) compared to control and TP animals. These results demonstrate that prenatal exposure to androgens results in sexually dimorphic effects on prenatal and postnatal growth. In addition, the results indicate that the actions of androgens to programme different aspects of growth are mediated via both androgenic and estrogenic receptors.
