Improvement of foamed part surface quality with variothermal temperature control and analysis of the mechanical properties (2019)

Thermoplastic foam injection molding offers various advantages for both processing and product design. Despite its many benefits, the moderate surface quality still constitutes a major disadvantage of this process. A variothermal mold temperature control enables the improvement of the surface quality. Different dynamic temperature control strategies are employed and analyzed regarding their effectiveness and scope of application. Mold temperatures above the specific material transition temperatures allow the surface defects to be cured and enable the production of foamed thermoplastic parts with surface qualities comparable to those of the compact reference samples. The high mold temperatures during the injection phase alter the foam structure and the skin layer thicknesses, which impacts the mechanical properties.
A VLSI architecture for fast inversion in GF(2/sup m/) (1989)

A new algorithm for performing fast inversion in GF (2/sup m/) is presented. The algorithm requires O(mlog/sub 2/ m) computation time. Using serial-in-parallel-out multiplication, the design of the algorithm is highly regular, modular, and well suited for VLSI implementation.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>
Effects of clozapine on positive and negative symptoms in outpatients with schizophrenia (1994)

OBJECTIVE: Clozapine is an atypical neuroleptic with superior efficacy in severely ill, treatment-resistant inpatients with schizophrenia. To determine if clozapine's differential efficacy generalizes to less ill, outpatients populations, the authors examined the effects of clozapine on positive and negative symptoms in outpatients with schizophrenia. METHOD: Outpatients with schizophrenia who had histories of partial response to conventional neuroleptics and who had not responded to a prospective 6-week trial of fluphenazine participated in a 10-week, double-blind, parallel-groups comparison of clozapine and haloperidol. Thirteen men and six women were given clozapine, and 15 men and five women were given haloperidol. Clinical response rates were determined and effects on primary versus secondary negative symptoms were addressed. Doses of clozapine and haloperidol at the end of the 10-week trial were 410.5 mg/day (SD = 45.8) and 24.8 mg/day (SD = 5.5), respectively. RESULTS: Clozapine was superior to haloperidol for treating positive symptoms. In addition, eight of the patients given clozapine and only one of the patients given haloperidol fulfilled clinical responder criteria. Clozapine was also superior to haloperidol for treating negative symptoms, although these effects were relatively minor. Negative symptoms were significantly affected in the subgroup of patients with nondeficit schizophrenia but not in the subgroup with deficit schizophrenia. Overall, clozapine was well tolerated. CONCLUSIONS: Clozapine has superior efficacy for treating positive symptoms in partially responsive outpatients with chronic schizophrenia, suggesting that it has utility for a broad spectrum of patients with schizophrenia beyond the most severely ill.
Successor levels of the Jensen hierarchy (2008)

Abstract I prove that there is a recursive function T that does the following: Let X be transitive and rudimentarily closed, and let X ′ be the closure of X ∪ { X } under rudimentary functions. Given a Σ 0 ‐formula φ ( x ) and a code c for a rudimentary function f , T ( φ , c , $ \vec x $ ) is a Σ ω ‐formula such that for any $ \vec a $ ∈ X , X ′ ⊧ φ [ f ( $ \vec a $ )] iff X ⊧ T ( φ , c , $ \vec x $ )[ $ \vec a $ ]. I make this precise and show relativized versions of this. As an application, I prove that under certain conditions, if Y is the Σ ω extender ultrapower of X with respect to some extender F that also is an extender on X ′, then the closure of Y ∪ { Y } under rudimentary functions is the Σ 0 extender ultrapower of X′ with respect to F , and the ultrapower embeddings agree on X .

TREATMENT OF BENIGN PROSTATIC HYPERPLASIA BY PHENOL INJECTION1 (1969)

SUMMARY Eighty‐five patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia, who were bad risks for prostatectomy, were treated by injection of phenol into the adenoma. Two out of three with retention were relieved. The technique proved less successful for those without retention: this is attributed to bad selection of cases and to the incidence of retention and exacerbation of symptoms as complications.
Vasoactive intestinal polypeptide and muscarine mobilize intracellular Ca2+ through breakdown of phosphoinositides to induce catecholamine secretion. Role of IP3 in exocytosis. (1988)

We have recently shown that vasoactive intestinal polypeptide (VIP) is as potent as acetylcholine in inducing the secretion of catecholamines from the rat adrenal medulla. In the present study we have investigated the molecular mechanism involved in the exocytotic secretion of catecholamines by VIP and the effects of VIP on Ca45 uptake and phosphoinositide breakdown and compared them with those of the classical cholinergic agonists. We now show that omission of Ca2+ from the perfusion medium had almost no effect on VIP-induced secretion; however, addition of 1 mM EGTA to calcium-free medium abolished the secretion. Stimulation with VIP did not result in a net increase in Ca45 uptake and it was not modified by a protein kinase C activator, phorbol ester. All these effects of VIP were comparable to those of muscarine. VIP (0.3 to 10 microM) and muscarine (30 to 100 microM) produced time-and concentration-dependent increase (up to 700%) in the production of [3H]inositol phosphates. The production of [3H]inositol phosphates by VIP and muscarine occurred in calcium-free and EGTA medium. The effect of VIP on [3H]IP, [3H]IP2, and [3H]IP3 production was reduced by (1 to 30 microM) VIP antagonist (an analogue of growth hormone-releasing factor, Ac-Tyr1hGRF) and 1 to 20 microM naloxone. Although nicotine produced a brisk secretory response, there was no change in [3H]inositol phosphates. We conclude that inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate generated upon activation of VIP and muscarine receptors is linked to exocytotic secretion of adrenal medullary hormones through release of internal Ca2+ ions.
Thermal analysis of proposed transport cask for three advanced burner reactor used fuel assemblies (2010)

Preliminary studies of used fuel generated in the US Department of Energy's Advanced Fuel Cycle Initiative have indicated that current used fuel transport casks may be insufficient for the transportation of said fuel. This work considers transport of three 5-year-cooled oxide advanced burner reactor used fuel assemblies with a burn-up of 160 MWD kg–1. A transport cask designed to carry these assemblies is proposed. This design employs a 7-cm-thick lead gamma shield and a 20-cm-thick NS-4-FR composite neutron shield. The temperature profile within the cask, from its centre to its exterior surface, is determined by two-dimensional computational fluid dynamics simulations of conduction, convection and radiation within the cask. Simulations are performed for a cask with a smooth external surface and various neutron shield thicknesses. Separate simulations are performed for a cask with a corrugated external surface and a neutron shield thickness that satisfies shielding constraints. Resulting temperature profiles indicate that a three-assembly cask with a smooth external surface will meet fuel cladding temperature requirements but will cause outer surface temperatures to exceed the regulatory limit. A cask with a corrugated external surface will not exceed the limits for both the fuel cladding and outer surface temperatures.

Decision-Feedback-Equalizer for 10-Gb/s backplane transceivers for highly lossy 56-inch channels (2008)

This paper presents a decision-feedback-equalizer for 10-Gb/s backplane transceivers for highly lossy channels. Forward equalization is not used in order to avoid noise enhancement. The sampling phase is optimized to achieve maximum signal-to-noise-ratio at the sampling instants. The coefficients of feedback finite-impulse-response filter and the gain of variable-gain-amplifier are obtained automatically by adaptive circuits. The vertical eye opening is almost doubled compared with a conventional decision-feedback-equalizer for a 56-inch channel with heavy loss more than -6.5 dB/GHz. The DFE is implemented in 0.13-mum IBM RF CMOS technologies. Results show an 8-tap DFE can open the highly blurred eye diagram, while a 12-tap conventional DFE can not open it. A 10-tap DFE yields a very clear eye diagram for PRBS-9 test patterns.
Isomerization of Fatty Oils with Thionyl Chloride Catalyst (1970)

Isomerization of soybean oil, methyl oleate, and methyl linoleate with thionyl chloride was investigated under various conditions. The amounts of conjugated dienes formed are relatively small, and infrared spectroscopic study shows that conjugated dienes are mainly of the trans-trans form. In the isomerization of methyl oleate with 1% thionyl chloride at 180°-250°C, the double bond migrates from 6 to 12 position.The thermal decomposition of thionyl chloride was examined by the IR spectral analysis and organoleptic test. Moreover, the effects of the possible thermal decomposition products of thionyl chloride, Cl2, SO2, and S2Cl2, upon the isomerization of soybean oil were studied. From the results, it can be inferred that, in the isomerization of soybean oil with thionyl chloride a greater fraction of the thionyl chloride will remain unchanged below 220°C. Moreover, it is considered that some of the decomposition products of thionyl chloride, if formed in small quantities, may play a role of catalyst.
Enhancing potency of liposomal monensin on ricin cytotoxicity in mouse macrophage tumor cells. (1992)

Monensin, a carboxylic ionophore, which is known to disrupt intracellular trafficking of proteins was intercalated in liposomes and its effect on the stability of liposomes and cytotoxicities of ricin and Pseudomonas exotoxin A in mouse macrophage tumor cells J774A.1 was studied. Stability of liposomes containing monensin was comparable to liposomes without monensin. The cytotoxicity of ricin and Pseudomonas exotoxin A was significantly enhanced by 1nM liposomal monensin (15.7 and 3.6 fold respectively). The enhancing potency of monensin in neutral and negative vesicles was found to be similar, while it was drastically reduced in positive vesicles. The specific uptake of 125I-gelonin from neutral and negative vesicles was not significantly different, whereas from positive vesicles no uptake was observed. Serum strongly influenced the binding at 4 degrees C of positive vesicles as well as the enhancing potency of monensin in these vesicles. Monensin in neutral and negative vesicles significantly reduced the lag period of ricin action, while in positive vesicles, it had no effect. These studies clearly indicate that liposomes could be used as a delivery vehicle for monensin.

Development of a multi-species transport space theory and its application to permeation behavior in proton-conducting doped perovskites (2010)

This paper examines the multi-species (simultaneous proton, oxygen vacancy, and electron/electron hole) transport behavior of proton conducting oxides. Multi-species transport behavior broadens both the realm of applications and also the potential challenges for the technical use of these perovskite materials in devices such as fuel cells, separation membranes, and membrane reactors. In order to better understand the interplay between the various transporting species and their impact on macroscale conduction and permeation processes, a new conceptualization of multi-species transport is proposed. A general theoretical description of multi-species transport is presented in a graphical manner that is similar to a ternary phase diagram. When combined with data gathered from water isotope permeation experiments, we show that it is possible to specify the relative contributions from each mobile defect species in a yttria-doped barium zirconate multi-species perovskite transport membrane system under a variety of experimental conditions. This approach provides a unique method to obtain and analyze transport behavior on the basis of transference numbers, thereby providing information which is often difficult to determine by other means.
Characterization of a novel human UDP-GalNAc transferase, pp-GalNAc-T15*1 (2004)

We have cloned, expressed and characterized a novel member of the human UDP-GalNAc:polypeptide N-acetylgalactosaminyltransferase (pp-GalNAc-T) family, pp-GalNAc-T15. The pp-GalNAc-T15 transcript was ubiquitously expressed in human tissues. Recombinant pp-GalNAc-T15 transferred N-acetylgalactosamine (GalNAc) toward a panel of mucin-derived peptide substrates in vitro. Although pp-GalNAc-T15 showed significantly less catalytic activity than pp-GalNAc-T2, T15 transferred up to seven GalNAcs to the Muc5AC peptide, while T2 transferred up to five GalNAcs. These results clearly indicated that pp-GalNAc-T15 is a novel member of the human pp-GalNAc-T family with unique catalytic activity.
Synthesis and characterization of a smart contrast agent sensitive to calcium (2008)

A novel first-generation Ca2+ sensitive contrast agent, Gd-DOPTRA has been synthesized and characterized. The agent shows approximately 100% relaxivity enhancement upon addition of Ca2+. The agent is selective and sensitive to Ca2+ also in the presence of Mg2+ and Zn2+. The relaxivity studies carried out in physiological fluids prove the prospects of the agent for in vivo measurements.
The Journal’s 10 year Anniversary - Looking back and moving forward (2011)

This issue marks the 10th year of the Journal, whose guiding mission has been, ''To provide a major international forum for social-behavioral research and practice that has direct relevance on improving the quality of life (QOL) and quality of care for people with dementia and their families'' (Keady & Harris, 2002).For where the main focus of biomedical research has been on the cause of dementia, the focus of social-behavioral research is on the consequences of living with dementia.On a daily basis, persons with dementia and their family members must face alone and together this ''lived experience,'' with its ever constant changes, surprises, challenges, disappointments, and sometimes rewards; and most of all they must learn to cope.Social-behavioral research can help.Pearlin et al. ( 2001) identified five research domains essential for future social research on the consequences of dementia: 1) the person with dementia, 2) the family and household, 3) the physical and social environment, 4) effective services and interventions, and 5) directions for health policy.This schematic was presented as a heuristic device to stimulate thinking about future research.Over the years, this Journal has played an important role in publishing articles that further deepened our understanding in all five recommended research areas.Reviewing the Journal's last 10 years of publications, below are just a few examples of articles that reflect research in each of the domains.Articles in the Journal have increased our understanding of the ''inner worlds'' of both the person with dementia and their care partner.Articles that explored ''the inner world'' of people with dementia were ones such as: 1) the very first paper published by the Journal, Sterin's (2002) eloquent personal essay on how being diagnosed with dementia and the stigma that entailed, forever changed one's social interactions and self-concept; Krause's and Moyer's ( 2006) discussion on how her diagnosis spurred them into becoming advocates for people with AD, and the meaning such work has brought to their lives; and Fazio's and Mitchell's study (2009), which demonstrated through evidence from remaining language and visual recognition that the self of the person with Alzheimer's disease persists along the journey, expanding the work of Steven Sabat (2001).Each article and many others deepened our understanding of the lived experience.A few notable articles about the ''inner world'' of carer experience were: 1) Weyl's (2009) description of her journey with her husband Peter diagnosed with AD, as she loves and cares for him, and copes, recorded in a memoir, entitled, ''Love song at the end of the day''; 2) Aubeeluck's and Buchanan's (2006) article that captured the Huntington's disease spousal carer experience, a group that is often forgotten, using the methodology of photovoice.This study visually presented the carers' quality of life, encompassing loss, loneliness, neglected needs and desire for escape; and 3) one of the most unique articles published over the years, Dementia 10(1) 3-6
BglF, the <i>Escherichia coli</i> β-Glucoside Permease and Sensor of the <i>bgl</i> System: Domain Requirements of the Different Catalytic Activities (1999)

The Escherichia coli BglF protein, an enzyme II of the phosphoenolpyruvate-dependent carbohydrate phosphotransferase system, has several enzymatic activities. In the absence of beta-glucosides, it phosphorylates BglG, a positive regulator of bgl operon transcription, thus inactivating BglG. In the presence of beta-glucosides, it activates BglG by dephosphorylating it and, at the same time, transports beta-glucosides into the cell and phosphorylates them. BglF is composed of two hydrophilic domains, IIAbgl and IIBbgl, and a membrane-bound domain, IICbgl, which are covalently linked in the order IIBCAbgl. Cys-24 in the IIBbgl domain is essential for all the phosphorylation and dephosphorylation activities of BglF. We have investigated the domain requirement of the different functions carried out by BglF. To this end, we cloned the individual BglF domains, as well as the domain pairs IIBCbgl and IICAbgl, and tested which domains and which combinations are required for the catalysis of the different functions, both in vitro and in vivo. We show here that the IIB and IIC domains, linked to each other (IIBCbgl), are required for the sugar-driven reactions, i. e., sugar phosphotransfer and BglG activation by dephosphorylation. In contrast, phosphorylated IIBbgl alone can catalyze BglG inactivation by phosphorylation. Thus, the sugar-induced and noninduced functions have different structural requirements. Our results suggest that catalysis of the sugar-induced functions depends on specific interactions between IIBbgl and IICbgl which occur upon the interaction of BglF with the sugar.

Development of an owner‐assessed scale to measure the severity of pruritus in dogs (2007)

Assessment of pruritus is critical in dermatological history taking, both for initial diagnosis and for monitoring treatment. Various methods of assessing pruritus in the dog have been described but none have been validated. In this study, four different pruritus scales were initially assessed: a 0-5 numerical scale; a scale containing six categories of pruritic behaviours; a scale with six basic descriptors of severity; and a visual analogue scale with severity descriptions at either end. One hundred and sixteen owners were asked to grade their dog's pruritus with each of the four scales given to them in a randomized order, and asked which they thought was easiest to use, which was most accurate in assessing their dog's pruritus level, and which two scales they would combine to make a superior scale. Pruritus scores from different scales were highly correlated with each other, but scores were significantly higher with the severity and numerical scales compared to the behaviour scale. Based on the clients' responses, a new scale was developed that combined features of the behaviour and severity-based scales with the visual analogue scale. When tested on 166 different owners, 98% thought it was easy to use and accurate in assessing their dog's pruritus level. In 44 dogs, independent scores obtained by two owners were highly correlated (R = 0.8; P < 0.0001), confirming the scale's repeatability. The new scale proved to be an easy and repeatable method for owners to determine the severity of pruritus in their dog.
