Data report: digital core images as data: an example from IDOP Expedition 303 (2009)

Digital core images offer the highest resolution realization of core properties available to scientific investigators. The digital core scanner used aboard the JOIDES Resolution during Integrated Ocean Drilling Program Expedition 303 captured ~10 pixels per millimeter of core. The ocean drilling community, however, has been slow to utilize these digital data as other than highly detailed pictures. In this study we illustrate a fast and simple method to extract core images as depth-scaled digital data. These data can then be manipulated through image enhancement to highlight detail not easily recognized in the original image or cores. Other data such as multisensor track core scans can be easily overlain on the images. We use digital core images to examine core distortion by developing sets of tables for five Expedition 303 sites that precisely map features in the site composite to those same features in individual cores from each hole at that site. In general, results show that in 80% of instances features within the composite section line up to within 35 cm of the same features in sections not used for the composite.
Mechanical properties of HIPS/sugarcane bagasse fiber composites after accelerated weathering (2011)

The effect of accelerated weathering on the visual appearance and on mechanical properties of high impact polystyrene (HIPS) as well as HIPS reinforced with mercerized and bleached sugarcane bagasse fibers composites are investigated. After accelerated weathering period of 900 h, under UV-B radiation and moisture regular cycles, changes in mechanical properties are investigated by tensile tests. Materials fracture surfaces are investigated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The study showed that the exposure time was sufficient to change the visual appearance of HIPS as the composites. From this study, it was observed that composites reinforced with bleached fibers are less susceptible to accelerated weathering exposure than composites reinforced with mercerized fibers, which is explained by the higher amount of lignin present in mercerized fibers.
Migração Estrangeira e a Questão da Oferta de Mão de Obra no Crescimento Econômico Brasileiro - 1880-1930 (1973)

\nO papel da imigração internacional no crescimento econômico tem sido amplamente estudado n a Europa, Estados Unidos e em outros países de língua inglesa. Os trabalhos de Jerome, Thomas, Kuznets, Easterlin, entre outros, contribuíram significativamente para a análise da importância relativa dos vários fatores de atração e impulso que geraram as principais correntes de imigração intercontinental no período anterior à Primeira Guerra Mundial, e da importância quantitativa e inter-relação desses fluxos migratórios com respeito a mudanças dos níveis da atividade econômica nos Estados Unidos. Por exemplo, um importante achado oriundo desses estudos foi a descoberta dos ciclos de Kuznets (de duração de 15 a 20 anos) no comportamento da economia americana, e o importante papel da imigração intercontinental em gerar e reforçar esse padrão cíclico da atividade econômica.\n
The Role of Visual Experience in the Development of Columns in Cat Visual Cortex (1998)

The role of experience in the development of the cerebral cortex has long been controversial. Patterned visual experience in the cat begins when the eyes open about a week after birth. Cortical maps for orientation and ocular dominance in the primary visual cortex of cats were found to be present by 2 weeks. Early pattern vision appeared unimportant because these cortical maps developed identically until nearly 3 weeks of age, whether or not the eyes were open. The naïve maps were powerfully dominated by the contralateral eye, and experience was needed for responses to the other eye to become strong, a process unlikely to be strictly Hebbian. With continued visual deprivation, responses to both eyes deteriorated, with a time course parallel to the well-known critical period of cortical plasticity. The basic structure of cortical maps is therefore innate, but experience is essential for specific features of these maps, as well as for maintaining the responsiveness and selectivity of cortical neurons.

Cycloaddition of α‐Chloroformylarylhydrazines' with Pyridines Afford 2‐Aryl‐2<i>H</i>‐[1,2,4]triazolo[4,3‐a]pyridin‐3‐Ones (2001)

Abstract 2‐Aryl‐2 H ‐[1,2,4]triazolo[4,3‐ a ]pyridin‐3‐ones 4 were synthesized by cycloaddition of α‐chloroformylarylhydrazines 7 with pyridines 1 . The inductive and mesomeric effects of substituents on pyridines were also investigated in this study. In reactions of 3‐substituted pyridines bearing a π‐electron‐donating substituent, the ortho site, C(2), of the pyridine ring is more favored for cycloaddition than the para site, C(6). As the substituent is a σ‐electron‐donating group, the cycloaddition only occurs on the ortho position. For reactions of 2‐substituted pyridines, however, cycloadditions were controlled solely by inductive effect, regard less of mesomeric effect. Only when the substituent is an electron‐donating group, would the cycloaddition proceed to afford expected cycloadducts. Further more, it is found that the inductive effect plays a more important role than the steric effect for reactions using 2‐substituted pyridines.

Effects of Puerarin on Lipid Accumulation and Metabolism in High-Fat Diet-Fed Mice (2015)

In order to investigate the mechanisms by which puerarin from kudzu root extract regulates lipid metabolism, fifty mice were randomly assigned to five groups: normal diet, high-fat diet (HFD), and HFD containing 0.2%, 0.4% or 0.8% puerarin for 12 weeks. Body weight, intraperitioneal adipose tissue (IPAT) weight, serum biochemical parameters, and hepatic and feces lipids were measured. Activity and mRNA and protein expressions of hepatic lipid metabolism-related enzymes were analyzed. Compared with HFD, 0.4% and 0.8% puerarin significantly decreased body and IPAT weight. There was a significant decrease in the serum and hepatic concentrations of total cholesterol, triglycerides and leptin in mice fed the 0.4% and 0.8% puerarin diets compared with HFD. Fatty acid synthase activity was suppressed in mice fed the 0.4% and 0.8% puerarin diets, while the activities of AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK), carnitine acyltransferase (CAT) and hormone-sensitive lipase (HSL) were increased. mRNA expression of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ 2 (PPARγ 2) was down-regulated in liver of mice fed the 0.8% diet compared with HFD, while mRNA expression of CAT and HSL was considerably up-regulated by 0.4% and 0.8% puerarin diets. The protein expression of PPARγ2 in liver was decreased and those of p-AMPK, HSL and p-HSL were increased in mice fed 0.4% and 0.8% puerarin diets. These results suggest that > 0.4% puerarin influenced the activity, mRNA and protein levels of hepatic lipid metabolism-related enzymes, decreasing serum and liver lipids, body weight gain and fat accumulation. Puerarin might be beneficial to prevent lifestyle-related diseases.

Academic Politics, Leadership, and Hospitality (2003)

Academic politics, we are often told, are intense because the stakes are so small.That may be true respecting many prizes -an additional file cabinet, the extra travel or software award, the preferred course, the eleven o'clock class, even the larger office with a view.Competition can be keen and strategies both imaginative and devious -though afterwards we often laugh at colleagues' foibles and escapades, and perhaps even incorporate

On invariant structural representation for speech recognition: theoretical validation and experimental improvement (2009)

One of the most challenging problems in speech recognition is to deal with inevitable acoustic variations caused by nonlinguistic factors. Recently, an invariant structural representation of speech was proposed [1], where the non-linguistic variations are effectively removed though modeling the dynamic and contrastive aspects of speech signals. This paper describes our recent progresses on this problem. Theoretically, we prove that the maximum likelihood based decomposition can lead to the same structural representations for a sequence and its transformed version. Practically, we introduce a method of discriminant analysis of eigen-structure to deal with two limitations of structural representations, namely, high dimensionality and too strong invariance. In the 1st experiment, we evaluate the proposed method through recognizing connected Japanese vowels. The proposed method achieves a recognition rate 99.0%, which is higher than those of the previous structure based recognition methods [2, 3, 4] and word HMM. In the 2nd experiment, we examine the recognition performance of structural representations to vocal tract length (VTL) differences. The experimental results indicate that structural representations have much more robustness to VTL changes than HMM. w Moreover, the proposed method is about 60 times faster than the previous ones.

Metagenomic study of the human skin microbiome associated with acne (2010)

Abstract The human microbiota contributes to our normal postnatal development and plays a significant role in defining our physiology. To understand the role of microbiota in human health and disease, we study the skin microbiome in pilosebaceous units (hair follicles) and its association with acne.Acne is one of the most common skin diseases. Although its etiology still needs to be defined, a bacterial factor has been suggested in the development of the disease. In fact, antibiotic therapy targeting Propionibacterium acnes has been a mainstay treatment for more than 30 years.Our preliminary study shows that the microcomedone, a specialized skin compartment where acne arises, has a tractable microbiome, with a single dominant species, P. acnes . This system offers a unique advantage allowing in-depth analysis of a human microbiome at the subspecies level by sequencing. Our preliminary study suggests that the microbiome associated with acne offers promise for understanding the correlation between the composition of the microbiome and human health and disease.The goal of the project is to determine whether the microbiota in the pilosebaceous units contributes to acne. We plan to investigate the microbiome associated with acne in three directions. First, we plan to investigate the strain diversity of P. acnes in a disease cohort and a normal cohort and examine whether certain strains of P. acnes are correlated with the disease. Second, we plan to investigate the non- P. acnes microbes in microcomedones and disease lesions and examine whether they correlate with acne pathogenesis. Third, we will examine the interactions between the microbes and the host by transcriptional profiling of both the microbiota and the host.During the first year of this project, two main questions were asked. 1. Are certain strains of P. acnes associated with acne, but rarely found in normal individuals? 2. If specific strains are associated with acne, what are the differences in their genetic composition compared to other P. acnes strains that are not associated with acne? We collected microcomedone samples from more than 100 subjects, including acne patients and normal individuals. Genomic DNA was extracted from each sample, and 16S rDNA was amplified using universal primers (8F and 1510R), cloned and sequenced using Sanger method. Approximately 384 near full length 16S rDNA sequences were obtained for each sample. Some of the microcomedone samples were also cultured under anaerobic condition to isolate different P. acnes strains. Sixty-eight isolates were selected for whole genome shotgun sequencing using Solexa/Illumina platform. By the end of the first year of the project, we completed the sequencing of more than 40,000 16S rDNA clones and 68 genomes of P. acnes isolates.
Autonomic Hyper-Reflexia — Suppression with Alpha-Adrenergic Blocking Agents (1970)

AUTONOMIC hyper-reflexia is a complication of spinal-cord transection. It has an 85 per cent prevalence in quadriplegic patients1 and may lead to convulsions, intracranial hemorrhage and death. Cutaneous and visceral stimuli may evoke the clinical spectrum, which varies from mild paroxysmal episodes to severe chronic dysfunction. This report presents two cases in which symptoms were controlled by means of alpha-adrenergic blocking agents.Case ReportsCase 1. A 24-year-old man was admitted to the hospital with quadriplegia, with sensory perception to the 7th cervical segment, and perineal urethral stoma. A urinary infection associated with autonomic hyper-reflexia occurring up to 20 times . . .
Interdependent roles for hypoxia inducible factor and nuclear factor‐κB in hypoxic inflammation (2008)

Decreased oxygen availability (hypoxia) is a hallmark feature of the microenvironment in a number of chronic inflammatory conditions including arthritis and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Recent advances in our understanding of oxygen-dependent cell signalling have uncovered several mechanisms by which hypoxia impacts upon the development of inflammation through the coordinated expression of adaptive, inflammatory and apoptotic genes. Two central transcription factors involved in the regulation of this response are hypoxia inducible factor (HIF) and nuclear factor-kappaB (NF-kappaB) which display different degrees of sensitivity to activation during hypoxia. Furthermore, HIF and NF-kappaB demonstrate an intimate interdependence at several mechanistic levels. Recent studies indicate that these pathways may represent important new therapeutic targets in diseases characterized by hypoxic inflammation.

Electronic frog eye: Counting crowd using WiFi (2014)

Crowd counting, which count or accurately estimate the number of human beings within a region, is critical in many applications, such as guided tour, crowd control and marketing research and analysis. A crowd counting solution should be scalable and be minimally intrusive (i.e., device-free) to users. Image-based solutions are device-free, but cannot work well in a dim or dark environment. Non-image based solutions usually require every human being carrying device, and are inaccurate and unreliable in practice. In this paper, we present FCC, a device-Free Crowd Counting approach based on Channel State Information (CSI). Our design is motivated by our observation that CSI is highly sensitive to environment variation, like a frog eye. We theoretically discuss the relationship between the number of moving people and the variation of wireless channel state. A major challenge in our design of FCC is to find a stable monotonic function to characterize the relationship between the crowd number and various features of CSI. To this end, we propose a metric, the Percentage of nonzero Elements (PEM), in the dilated CSI Matrix. The monotonic relationship can be explicitly formulated by the Grey Verhulst Model, which is used for crowd counting without a labor-intensive site survey. We implement FCC using off-the-shelf IEEE 802.11n devices and evaluate its performance via extensive experiments in typical real-world scenarios. Our results demonstrate that FCC outperforms the state-of-art approaches with much better accuracy, scalability and reliability.
The activation energies of antiphase-boundary tube annihilation in Fe-Al (2002)

Abstract Analysis of the exothermic peaks obtained at different heating rates during continuous heating in a differential scanning calorimeter of a quenched B2-structured Fe-40at.% Al single crystal yielded a value for the activation energy for vacancy annihilation of 131 ± 8 kJ mol−1, which is very close to the accepted value. Having shown the utility of this method, it was used to determine the activation energies associated with the annihilation of antiphase-boundary (APB) tubes from cold-rolled Fe-40at.% Al and Fe-83 at. % Al single crystals. The activation energies obtained were 101 ± 9kJ mor−1 and 67 ± 9kJ mol−1 respectively. Magnetic measurements showed that the rolled Fe-43 at.% Al specimens need less time and a lower temperature to anneal out the APB tubes produced during rolling compared with Fe-40 at.% Al specimens, consistent with the lower activation energy in this alloy.
Analysis of Neuro Cognitive Effects on Meditation (2011)

was made to analyze the cerebral electrical activity of fifteen meditators by means of EEG recordings. The Electroencephalogram (EEG) is a physiological electrical signal recorded from the scalp to study the brain function. EEG is recorded before and after meditation inside and outside the pyramid.EEG after Meditation may provide an access to the mental states beyond normal consciousness. It is an attempt to score the meditation course by studying the variation in EEG parameters. Many of the previous referred papers have no indication of quantitative analysis. Our aim is to do the quantitative and qualitative analysis. We conducted a study of EEG patterns of 15 subjects who were made to meditate under pyramid. The first set of data was taken prior to meditation and the second set of data was taken after the meditation inside the pyramid.. The EEG signal consists of five bands namely, Alpha (8-12 Hz), Beta (12-30 Hz), theta (4-8 Hz), Delta (0.5-4Hz) and Gamma above 30Hz. The EEG is acquired using BIOPAC Student Lab with suitably placed silver/silver chloride electrodes to study the effects of meditation on rhythms of subjects EEG.
