Can Asthma Education Improve Clinical Outcomes? An Evaluation of a Pediatric Asthma Education Program (2001)

Asthma is a common, costly, and chronic disease that has a significant impact on children, their families, and the health care system. This study investigated whether formal asthma education can reduce asthma severity and morbidity and further questioned whether the method of education is an important factor in this process. Study subjects were recruited from the emergency department of the Royal Children's Hospital, Melbourne (RCHM), and controls were recruited from the neighboring Western Hospital, Sunshine (WHS). Subject parents were randomized to receive face-to-face education, group education, or home-based video education. Controls had similar medical treatment but received no formal asthma education. Subject and control parents were asked to complete questionnaires before the intervention and at 1, 6, and 12 months. These questionnaires measured demographics, the levels of parent asthma knowledge, anxiety, child asthma severity, and morbidity. Results showed that any method of education increased parent asthma knowledge and immediately decreased their anxiety and child asthma morbidity scores. Despite this, asthma severity was reduced only when knowledge was imparted in an interactive, face-to-face setting. When this happened, asthma severity scores were significantly reduced in both the short- and long-term. These findings call into question mass asthma education campaigns and have important implications for the design of future asthma education programs.
Demonstration of a cost-effective, broadband passive optical network system (1994)

We demonstrate that a combination of coarse wavelength division multiplexing, time division multiplexing and subcarrier multiple access can be used to provide broadband service over a 16-way split, single-fiber passive optical network. We provide an aggregate bit rate of 622 Mb/s outbound and 48 Mb/s return in our system, with power margins of at least 9.4 dB in excess of specifications.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>
Estimator and Tests for Common Coefficients of Variation in Normal Distributions (2008)

Abstract Inference for the coefficient of variation in normal distributions is considered. An explicit estimator of a coefficient of variation that is shared by several populations with normal distributions is proposed. Methods for making confidence intervals and statistical tests, based on McKay's approximation for the coefficient of variation, are provided. Exact expressions for the first two moments of McKay's approximation are given. An approximate F-test for equality of a coefficient of variation that is shared by several normal distributions and a coefficient of variation that is shared by several other normal distributions is introduced.

The Colonial Architecture of Minas Gerais in Brazil (1939)

Of all the former European colonies in the New World it was Brazil that most faithfully and consistently reflected and preserved the architecture of the mother-country. In Brazil were never felt those strange indigenous influences which in Mexico and Peru produced buildings richer and more complicated in design than the very models of the peninsular Baroque.1 Brazil never knew the exigencies of a new and severe climate necessitating modifications of the old national architectural forms, as in the French and English colonies of North America, where also the early mingling of nationalities produced a greater variety of types of construction. And the proof of this lies in the constant imitation in Brazil of the successive styles of architecture in vogue at Lisbon and throughout Portugal during the colonial period.2 From the first establishments at Iguarassú3 and São Vicente4 down to the last constructions in Minas Gerais, the various buildings of the best preserved colonial sites in Brazil—at São Luiz do Maranhão,5 in the old Bahia,6 and the earliest Mineiro7 towns—are completely Portuguese. Whoever would study them must remember the Lusitanian monuments of the period, treating Brazil as a larger architectural province of Portugal, examining with care the innumberable links which have always bound the architecture of the two countries into a single Portuguese-Brazilian style.8
Seroprevalence of<i>Babesia</i>Infections in Humans Exposed to Ticks in Midwestern Germany (2002)

Babesiosis is considered to be an emerging tick-borne disease in humans worldwide. However, most studies on the epidemiology of human babesiosis to date have been carried out in North America, and there is little knowledge on the prevalence of infection and frequency of disease in other areas. The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence of Babesia infections in a human population in Germany. A total of 467 sera collected between May and October 1999 from individuals living in the Rhein-Main area were tested for the presence of immunoglobulin G (IgG) and IgM antibodies to antigens of Babesia microti and Babesia divergens by indirect fluorescent-antibody (IFA) tests. These sera were derived from 84 Lyme borreliosis patients suffering from erythema migrans, 60 asymptomatic individuals with positive borreliosis serology, and 81 individuals with a history of tick bite. Cutoff values for discrimination between seronegative and seropositive results in the IFA tests were determined using sera from 120 healthy blood donors and 122 patients suffering from conditions other than tick-borne diseases (malaria, n = 40; toxoplasmosis, n = 22; syphilis, n = 20; Epstein-Barr virus infection, n = 20; and presence of antinuclear antibodies, n = 20). The overall specificities of the IFA tests for B. microti and B. divergens were estimated to be >or=97.5%. Positive IgG reactivity against B. microti antigen (titer, >or=1:64) or B. divergens antigen (titer, >or=1:128) was detected significantly more often (P < 0.05) in the group of patients exposed to ticks (26 of 225 individuals; 11.5%) than in the group of healthy blood donors (2 of 120 individuals; 1.7%). IgG antibody titers of >or=1:256 against at least one of the babesial antigens were found significantly more often (P < 0.05) in patients exposed to ticks (9 of 225) than in the control groups (1 of 242). In the human population investigated here, the overall seroprevalences for B. microti and B. divergens were 5.4% (25 of 467) and 3.6% (17 of 467), respectively. The results obtained here provide evidence for concurrent infections with Borrelia burgdorferi and Babesia species in humans exposed to ticks in midwestern Germany. They also suggest that infections with Babesia species in the German human population are more frequent than believed previously and should be considered in the differential diagnosis of febrile illness occurring after exposure to ticks or blood transfusions, in particular in immunocompromised patients.

Determination of trace cationic impurities in butylmethylimidazolium‐based ionic liquids: From transient to comprehensive single‐capillary counterflow isotachophoresis‐zone electrophoresis (2006)

Determination of impurities in ionic liquids (ILs) remains a difficult task. In this work, the hyphenation of isotachophoretic (ITP) preconcentration to zone electrophoresis (ZE) has been explored for the trace analysis of the cationic impurities Na(+), Li(+), and methylimidazolium (MI(+)) in butylmethylimidazolium (BMI(+))-based ILs. Simultaneous detection of UV-transparent and UV-absorbing impurities was ensured by a BGE composed of creatinine-acetate buffer. To induce ITP, three different strategies were evaluated: (i) Sample self-stacking ensured by the addition of ammonium acetate (NH(4)Ac) to 25-50-fold diluted IL solution (transient ITP). (ii) Complete ITP-ZE separation performed in a single capillary: ITP was realized in discontinuous electrolytes comprising an 80 mM NH(4)Ac, 40 mM acetic acid, 30 mM alpha-CD, pH 5.05, leading electrolyte (LE) and a 10 mM creatinine, 10 mM acetic acid, pH 4.9, terminating electrolyte (TE). To create the ZE stage, the ITP stack of analytes was moved back toward the capillary inlet by pressure and simultaneously the capillary was filled with the BGE. This protocol made it possible to accommodate a 2.5-times diluted IL sample. (iii) Complete counterflow ITP-ZE with continuous electrokinetic sample supply: the ITP stage was performed in a capillary filled with a 150 mM NH(4)Ac, 75 mM acetic acid, 30 mM alpha-CD, pH 5.0 LE, with 40-times diluted IL at the capillary inlet. BMI(+) from IL acts as the terminating ion. The LODs reached in this latter case were at the 10 and 1 ppb levels for MI(+) and Li(+) in diluted IL matrix, respectively.
Enzyme kinetic and spectroscopic studies of inhibitor and effector interactions with indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase. 2. Evidence for the existence of another binding site in the enzyme for indole derivative effectors (1989)

To probe the active site of the heme protein indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase, the effects of 3-indoleethanol (IET) (or tryptophol), one of the known indole derivative effectors, and indole (IND) on the catalytic (Vmax, Km) and spectroscopic properties (optical absorption and CD) of the enzyme were investigated. Assays were performed with the substrate L- or D-tryptophan (Trp) and an ascorbic acid-methylene blue cofactor system at 25 degrees C. This study has shown that, at millimolar concentrations, both IET and IND lower considerably the Km value for D-Trp by approximately 25% and approximately 60%, respectively, at pH 7.0, while neither affects the Km value for L-Trp. Interestingly, however, these effectors exert opposite effects with respect to each other on the Vmax values for both D-Trp and L-Trp: IET enhances the Vmax values by 40-60% while IND lowers them by 12-24%. These effects of IET and IND on the Vmax values may be attributed to the shift in the ferric (inactive) enzyme----ferrous (active) enzyme equilibrium either to the right (IET) or to the left (IND) caused by the binding of these effectors to the enzyme in the steady state of the catalytic reaction. Both effectors induce clearly detectable spectral changes, especially notable in CD spectra, upon binding (in a 1:1 molar ratio, Kd = 10(-4) to 2.5 X 10(-3) M) to the ferrous enzyme and its complexes with O2, CO, and NO, both in the presence and in the absence of L-Trp.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Molecular Cloning and Characterization of MT-ACT48, a Novel Mitochondrial Acyl-CoA Thioesterase (1999)

While characterizing Eps15 partners, we identified a 48-kDa polypeptide (p48) which was precipitated by Eps15-derived glutathione S-transferase fusion proteins. A search in a murine expressed sequence tag data base with N-terminal microsequences of p48 led to the identification of two complete cDNA clones encoding two isoforms of a 439-amino acid protein sharing 95% nucleic and amino acid identity. Northern blot and immunoblotting studies showed that p48 was ubiquitously expressed. A significant homology (19% identity and 40% similarity) between p48 and rat brain cytosolic acyl-CoA thioesterase was observed in an 80-amino acid C-terminal domain, retrieved from proteins from human, nematode, and plants. The thioesterase function of p48 was further demonstrated against long chain acyl-CoAs in a spectrophotometric assay. Furthermore, data obtained from sequence analysis showed that p48 contained a mitochondrial targeting signal, cleaved in mature protein as assessed by microsequencing. The mitochondrial localization of both endogenous and transfected p48 was confirmed by confocal microscopy. These results indicate that p48, called MT-ACT48 (mitochondrial acyl-CoA thioesterase of 48 kDa), defines a novel family of mitochondrial long chain acyl-CoA thioesterases.

Epstein-Barr virus and nasopharyngeal carcinoma. (1992)

Nasopharyngeal carcinoma, an epithelial tumor which is characterized by marked geographic and population differences in incidence, is consistently associated with the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV). Within the tumor, the EBV DNA is homogeneous and clonal with regard to repeat sequences suggesting that the tumor is also clonal. Expression of specific viral mRNAs or gene products are consistently detected within all of the tumor cells. These data suggest that EBV is an essential component in the development of nasopharyngeal carcinoma. Genetic or environmental co-factors may influence the ability of the virus to express these genes in infected epithelial tissue or may contribute to clonal predominance.
Cho, a second endonuclease involved in <i>Escherichia coli</i> nucleotide excision repair (2002)

Nucleotide excision repair removes damages from the DNA by incising the damaged strand on the 3' and 5' sides of the lesion. In Escherichia coli, the two incisions are made by the UvrC protein, which consists of two functional halves. The N-terminal half contains the catalytic site for 3' incision and the C-terminal half contains the residues involved in 5' incision. The genome of E. coli contains an SOS-inducible gene (ydjQ) encoding a protein that is homologous to the N-terminal half of UvrC. In this paper we show that this protein, which we refer to as Cho (UvrC homologue), can incise the DNA at the 3' side of a lesion during nucleotide excision repair. The incision site of Cho is located 4 nt further away from the damage compared with the 3' incision site of UvrC. Cho and UvrC bind to different domains of UvrB, which is probably the reason of the shift in incision position. Some damaged substrates that are poorly incised by UvrC are very efficiently incised by Cho. We propose that E. coli uses Cho for repair of such damages in vivo. Initially, most of the lesions in the cell will be repaired by the action of UvrC alone. Remaining damages, that for structural reasons obstruct the 3' incision by UvrC, will be repaired by the combined action of Cho (for 3' incision) and UvrC (for 5' incision).
A genome‐wide scan for signatures of recent selection in Holstein cattle (2010)

Summary The data from the newly available 50 K SNP chip was used for tagging the genome‐wide footprints of positive selection in Holstein–Friesian cattle. For this purpose, we employed the recently described Extended Haplotype Homozygosity test, which detects selection by measuring the characteristics of haplotypes within a single population. To assess formally the significance of these results, we compared the combination of frequency and the Relative Extended Haplotype Homozygosity value of each core haplotype with equally frequent haplotypes across the genome. A subset of the putative regions showing the highest significance in the genome‐wide EHH tests was mapped. We annotated genes to identify possible influence they have in beneficial traits by using the Gene Ontology database. A panel of genes, including FABP3 , CLPN3 , SPERT , HTR2A5 , ABCE1 , BMP4 and PTGER2 , was detected, which overlapped with the most extreme P ‐values. This panel comprises some interesting candidate genes and QTL, representing a broad range of economically important traits such as milk yield and composition, as well as reproductive and behavioural traits. We also report high values of linkage disequilibrium and a slower decay of haplotype homozygosity for some candidate regions harbouring major genes related to dairy quality. The results of this study provide a genome‐wide map of selection footprints in the Holstein genome, and can be used to better understand the mechanisms of selection in dairy cattle breeding.
Identification of the Aspartate-β-Semialdehyde Dehydrogenase Gene of <i>Legionella pneumophila</i> and Characterization of a Null Mutant (1998)

The ability of Legionella pneumophila to cause Legionnaires' disease is dependent on its capacity to survive in the intracellular environment of its host cells. Furthermore, outbreaks of this disease have been associated with contaminated water sources where L. pneumophila survives as a parasite of protozoa. In this study, we determined the effect of nutritional auxotrophy on the ability of L. pneumophila to survive in the intracellular environment of its host cells. We generated a diaminopimelic acid (DAP) auxotroph (AA400) of L. pneumophila by disruption of the aspartate-beta-semialdehyde (asd) gene. The ability of AA400 to survive within macrophages and protozoa was found to be defective. This defect was due solely to the asd disruption since complementation of the mutant with the wild-type asd gene restored its capacity for intracellular survival. Furthermore, the defect was not completely complemented by DAP supplementation to the culture media. Thus, our results suggest that disruption of the asd gene may prove to be useful in the design of attenuated vaccines against Legionnaires' disease.
A Workflow-Based Cooperative Project Management System (2011)

In modern large enterprises, a complex project is usually composed of a series of processes and needs many persons with different roles cooperating with each other within limited time and investment. A workflow-based cooperative project management system (CPMS) that can support multi-user working is presented in this paper. The system is based on Browser/Server architecture that contains User Interface, Business Logic and Data Access three layers in which the core is an XPDL-based workflow engine. A series of cooperative mechanisms such as inclusive gateway, exclusive gateway and parallel gateway are designed to achieve the definition, configuration, and control of the workflow, the assignment, submission and approval of project tasks, the allocation and configuration of project resource. The version control techniques for workflow designs, project plans and project documents are also presented. CPMS has been used in an international enterprise that needs to manage thousands of projects each year. The application result demonstrates that the system can satisfy the needs of cooperative project management.
