The Shielding Effectiveness of Long Cables, II: LT and GTR (1980)

In this paper we show that, at frequencies where diffusion effects are negligible, the shield of a cable can be characterized by two quantities: transfer inductance (LT) and geometric transfer ratio (GTR). These two quantities depend only on the construction of the shield, and not on experimental conditions. We also show a method for estimating LT and GTR, assisted by a computer routine. The computer routine and the measurements required to implement it are described. Plots showing the correlation between measured and calculated shield performance are presented.
Evidence for the specific association of the chromosomal origin with outer membrane fractions isolated from Escherichia coli. (1978)

DNA-envelope complexes isolated from osmotically lysed spheroplasts of Escherichia coli contained 0.2 to 1% of the total cellular DNA after labeling with [3H]thymidine. Molecular weight determinations indicated that the amount of bound DNA was equivalent in most cases to a maximum of three binding sites per chromosome. Bound DNA from E. coli B/r was distributed approximately equally between inner and outer membrane components when envelopes were fractionated on sucrose equilibrium gradients. Outer membrane-DNA complexes, in particular, fraction H1, with a density of 1.24 g/cm3, were quite stable against shearing and against Sarkosyl NL97. In the case of E. coli B/r, H1-DNA was also relatively resistant to deoxyribonuclease. Inner membrane-DNA complexes, in contrast, were quite labile and readily dissociated to release free DNA. The outer membrane fractions did not appear to contain replication fork DNA, but small amounts may have been present in the inner membrane complexes. A two- to eightfold enrichment for chromosomal origin DNA in the envelope was obtained when cultures of E. coli K-12, synchronized for DNA replication, were pulse labeled at different times in the replication cycle. This enrichment was found invariably in the outer membrane fractions. However, the data do not exclude the possibility that this DNA is bound to regions of adhesion between inner and outer membranes which sediment with a density indistinguishable from that of the outer membrane.
CEREBELLAR AND CEREBELLAR THALAMIC CONTRIBUTIONS TO MOTOR ADAPTATION by (2007)

Motor control theories have proposed that the brain controls movements through internal models which perform two reciprocal computations: given the motor action, predict sensory consequences (forward model) and given the desired sensory states, generate the appropriate motor action (inverse model). To produce accurate movements, the brain must continually calibrate or adapt these models. In this thesis, I explore the critical role played by the cerebellum in the formation and adaptation of these internal movement models, in both the reaching motor system and the saccadic system. For reaching movements it has been hypothesized that the cerebellum influences planned motor output through the cerebello-thalamo-cortical (CTC) pathway. We tested this hypothesis by studying patients with deep brain stimulation (DBS) electrodes placed in the cerebellar thalamus for the treatment of tremor. If the cerebellar thalamus relays both the normal signals related to motor adaptation as well as the abnormal oscillatory activity related to tremor, then stimulating the nucleus

Control using self-validating sensors (1996)

The correct funetioraing of sensors is of paramount importance to the operation of industrial processes. The concept of a self-validating (SEVA) sensor, capable of detecting and correcting for its own faults and accompanying each measurement with an estimate of its uncertainty and standard quality indicators, has been proposed. This paper aims to investigate how the extra information provided by SEVA sensors can be used to enhance the performance of simple three-term (PID) controllers in the single-loop configuration. An implementation of the SEVA interface on a dissolved oxygen sensor and the device response to a common fault is described. SEVA sensor measurement quality indicators can be used to decide whether to continue closed-loop operation and, if so, how the controller should be retuned to counteract the of sensor faults: control strategies in the presence of a range of sensor malfunctions are illustrated by simulation examples.
The pituitary gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) receptor of the female rabbit: characterization and developmental aspects (1992)

The aim of the present study was to characterize the pituitary gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) binding site in the rabbit and investigate its possible role in sexual maturation of the female rabbit. A radioligand binding assay was established, and the presence of specific 125I-labelled D-Ala6-des-Gly10-GnRH ethylamide (125I-DAl6EA) binding sites in the anterior pituitary gland of the rabbit was demonstrated. 125I-DAla6EA binding was saturable, specific, displaceable, reversible, correlated with increasing tissue concentrations, and susceptible to physiological manipulation. 125I-DAla6EA binding indicated the presence of two binding sites in the female adult rabbit pituitary: a high affinity, low capacity site (KD = 0.3-0.4 nM; Bmax = 100-200 fmol/mg protein) and a lower affinity, high capacity site (KD = 30 nM; Bmax = 5-8000 fmol/mg protein). Ontogeny of 125I-DAl6EA binding in the female rabbit (40-120 days of age) did not show a correlation between binding site number and serum luteinizing hormone (LH). In addition, the net serum LH response in female rabbits to a subcutaneous injection of DAla6EA (10 ng, 100 ng, and 1 microgram per kilogram body weight) was not significantly different between animals 40, 75, and 120 days of age. This suggests that a decrease in pituitary responsiveness to GnRH is not associated with sexual maturation in the female rabbit. Results indicate that factors other than and (or) in addition to GnRH binding site number, such as postreceptor events, play a role in gonadotropin secretion in the female rabbit.
Chaotic analysis of body sway (2002)

In this study, the chaotic features of postural steadiness were investigated using a reconstructed phase portrait, fractal dimension and first Lyapunov exponent, as well as the basic measures of postural steadiness. The experimental variables were presence of visual information (eyes-open and eyes-closed) and postures (standing straight on both feet: SBF, standing straight on left foot only: SLF, standing straight on right foot only: SRF). The first Lyapunov exponent tended to be larger for SRF and SLF conditions as compared with SBF condition, which showed that the postural control system under SLF and SRF conditions was more chaotic. As for SLF and SRF conditions, the first Lyapunov exponent tended to be smaller for the eyes-closed condition than for the eyes-open condition. On the other hand, the first Lyapunov exponent for the SBF condition was smaller irrespective of the presence of visual information. The fractal dimensions of SLF and SRF conditions were less than 2.0 for both the eyes-open and eyes-closed conditions. Moreover, the fractal dimension of the eyes-closed condition tended to be lower than that of the eyes-open condition. We can conclude that the postural control system under SLF and SRF conditions behaves more chaotically than the SBF condition, and leads to the instability of COP.
EXPLORING THE PHARMACOGNOSTIC CHARACTERISTICS AND ANTIMICROBIAL POTENTIAL OF LEAVES OF URENA LOBATA LINN. (2016)

Although herbal drugs are known to elicit their response quite slowly but they are now overtaking allopathic medicine owing to its high cost, side effects, drug resistance and development of tolerance. This article spots some light on an obscured herbal drug named Urena lobata Linn (Malvaceae) for its antimicrobial activity and also provides some pharmacognostic studies of the drug.
Goal-oriented visualizations of activity tracking (2012)

Increasing motivation of students and helping them to reflect on their learning processes is an important driver for learning analytics research. This paper presents our research on the development of a dashboard that enables self-reflection on activities and comparison with peers. We describe evaluation results of four iterations of a design based research methodology that assess the usability, use and usefulness of different visualizations. Lessons learned from the different evaluations performed during each iteration are described. In addition, these evaluations illustrate that the dashboard is a useful tool for students. However, further research is needed to assess the impact on the learning process.

AMISA: Innovative tissue management in MIS (1999)

SummaryAdjustable minimally-invasive surgery applicator (AMISA) is an innovative, reusable instrument developed for tissue gluing, e.g. for sealing large defects on parenchymal organs. The device AMISA is loaded with TachoCombr`, a commercially-available, ready-to-use dry collagen fleece, coated with tissue glue. After loading the adjustable applicator head with the 5 x10 cm, self-adhesive collagen fleece, the AMISA can be introduced into the body through a conventional 10/12 mm trocar. The fleece roll is positioned over the tissue defect and can be rolled-out (‘carpeting’) utilising the rotary positioning of the applicator head. Preliminary technological studies of selective leak closure (SLC) have demonstrated the efficiency of fleece-bound tissue gluing with a ready-to-use collagen fleece, coated with tissue glue. In vitro studies of SLC of porcine pleura have demonstrated significantly higher adhesive stability compared with liquid gluing methods employing various fleece materials. AMISA can be used in both thoracoscopy and laparoscopy.The main indications are large-area leakages on parenchymal organs of differing aetiology that cannot be controlled speedily and efficiently with conventional minimally-invasive technology (mechanical, thermal, piezoelectric). The AMISA system expands the range of applications of minimally-invasive surgery and simplifies complication management (bleeding, rupture, leakage, secretion). Other advantages of the system are decrease in drainage time and reduction in treatment time.
Machine Learning Sentiment Prediction based on Hybrid Document Representation (2015)

Automated sentiment analysis and opinion mining is a complex process concerning the extraction of useful subjective information from text. The explosion of user generated content on the Web, especially the fact that millions of users, on a daily basis, express their opinions on products and services to blogs, wikis, social networks, message boards, etc., render the reliable, automated export of sentiments and opinions from unstructured text crucial for several commercial applications. In this paper, we present a novel hybrid vectorization approach for textual resources that combines a weighted variant of the popular Word2Vec representation (based on Term Frequency-Inverse Document Frequency) representation and with a Bag- of-Words representation and a vector of lexicon-based sentiment values. The proposed text representation approach is assessed through the application of several machine learning classification algorithms on a dataset that is used extensively in literature for sentiment detection. The classification accuracy derived through the proposed hybrid vectorization approach is higher than when its individual components are used for text represenation, and comparable with state-of-the-art sentiment detection methodologies.
Shuttle pulse measurements of pulse spreading in an optical fiber (1975)

Partially transparent mirrors were pressed against fiber ends so that the length dependence of pulse spreading could be determined without cutting the fiber into pieces. Measurements were made by comparing the widths of laser pulses (lambda = 0.9 microm) through the output end mirror, which returned from 9(1/2) successive round trips (2014-m extrapolated length) along a 106-m multimode fiber. Mode mixing was significant in this fiber (fabricated by Corning Glass Works), and a square root of length pulse width dependence was observed. However, some of the mode-mixing effects on pulse width were caused by the way in which the fiber was wound on a drum.
Evolutionary Churn Prediction in Mobile Networks Using Hybrid Learning (2011)

Churn is the movement of customers from one mobile network operator to another. It is always better to retain a customer than having to find a new customer in the present competitive environment and the importance of this fact can’t be stressed enough. Being more of a social phenomenon than a mathematical one the existing models fail in prediction of such a behavioral quantity. Churn prediction is valuable to the mobile operator depending on the level of accuracy of predictions. This paper presents predictive modeling of customer behavior based on the application of hybrid learning approaches for churn prediction in the mobile network. Our proposed framework deals with a better and more accurate churner prediction technique compared to the existing ones as it incorporates hybrid learning method which is a combination of tree induction system and genetic programming to derive the rules for classification based on the customer behavior. Finally using the game theory techniques we understand the community effect of churn. We calculated the predicted score which is a churn value of a mobile customer. The proposed model is used for prediction of various user defined groupings based on usage time, location and their underlying social network, thus making it a pragmatic approach which models churn on human level than a mathematical level. The post evaluation results on a real world dataset from a leading operator validate our findings.
Quantitation of Hemorrhagic Enteritis Virus Antigen and Antibody Using Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assays (1986)

Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISAs) were developed to quantitate hemorrhagic enteritis virus (HEV) antibodies in turkey sera and HEV antigens in tissue extracts. These assays were more sensitive than the commonly used agar-gel precipitin tests in detecting antigen and antibody. The antibody-ELISA was used to monitor the presence and decline of passive antibodies in turkey poults and the seroconversion of turkeys infected with HEV. The antigen-ELISA was carried out using a monoclonal antibody; this test was used to quantitate HEV antigen in experimentally infected turkeys in a time-sequence experiment. Both ELISAs measured a strong antigenic relationship between an avirulent strain (HEV-A) and a virulent strain (HEV-V).
In Vitro Susceptibility Testing Methods for Caspofungin against <i>Aspergillus</i> and <i>Fusarium</i> Isolates (2001)

We investigated the relevance of prominent reduction in turbidity macroscopically (MIC) and formation of aberrant hyphal tips microscopically (minimum effective concentration; MEC) in measuring the in vitro activity of caspofungin against Aspergillus and Fusarium. Caspofungin generated low MICs and MECs against Aspergillus, but not for Fusarium. While MICs increased inconsistently when the incubation time was prolonged, MEC appeared as a stable and potentially relevant endpoint in testing in vitro caspofungin activity.
Singing abilities of kindergarten and elementary school children: Assessment of the vocal pitch matching abilities (2009)

The vocal pitch matching ability is one of the most important abilities in music education. This study focuses on children’s development of the vocal pitch matching ability. Children of 4- and 5-year-olds in two kindergartens, and one class of the first 3 grades of the elementary school listened to musical tones and were asked to reproduce by singing what they had heard. The types of musical inputs were (1) piano sounds; (2) female singing voice sounds; and (3) chants with female singing voice sounds. As for the results, (3) input led to the best answer and the second best was (2). It was easier for children to match the pitch with voice sounds inputs with meaning. Children’s pitch matching ability was higher in the kindergarten offering music activities intentionally. From the study, the importance of developing a system- atic music transition program for children to improve their music ability is suggested.

Introduction (2005)

Antitrust is a body of law and policy designed to promote, or at least to protect, economic competition. There are many legal books and many economic books on the subject, but so far as I know there is no other book devoted to the philosophical scrutiny of the concepts that underpin it. The idea of a philosophy of antitrust may seem abstruse, but there is nothing puzzling about it. Philosophy may be conceived as a set of meta-studies associated with first-order disciplines: for psychology there is philosophy of mind, for mathematics there is philosophy of mathematics, for moral thinking there is philosophical ethics, and so on. (This is not to say that the boundary between a discipline and its philosophy is, or should be, sharp; for example, some of the most interesting work in ethics in recent decades has been by philosophers who have engaged with practical moral issues.) For law there is philosophy of law, and different parts of the law are associated with different branches of its philosophy: one such branch is the philosophy of antitrust.
Hepatitis B virus and hepatocellular carcinoma: a possible role for the viral transactivators. (1991)

Several epidemiological studies have demonstrated a link between chronic B virus infection and primary hepatocellular carcinoma (PHC). HBV DNA sequence integrations into the host cell genome have often been observed in hepatocarcinoma tissues. However, since only in a few cases of PHC the target of HBV-DNA insertion has been identified, alternative mechanisms for HBV-induced hepatocyte transformation have been investigated. Like many other DNA viruses, the hepatitis B virus bears a transactivational potential. Both full length and truncated versions of HBV X protein are able to influence the expression of cellular nuclear protooncogenes c-fos and c-myc. A second transcriptional activator is encoded by the PreS/S region of HBV, but its activity on viral and cellular genes become evident only after dislocations from its downstream sequences. Thus, HBV is able to influence infected cell growth and differentiation using both native proteins, newly generated truncated proteins and virus-cell fusion polypeptides.
Assessing present and future capital expense levels under PPS. (1986)

The expected shift in the method of payment for capital costs will affect the way decisions are made by hospital executives. The capital expense ratio model is one way executives can better assess their present and future capital expense levels as payments begin to be made under a prospective payment system.
Objective Diamond Clarity Grading  (2014)

The diamond clarity grading scale used worldwide today was introduced by the Gemological Institute of America (GIA) in 1953. To help address varying interpretations and inconsistencies in clarity grading between laboratories (and even within some labs), this article introduces an objective system for diamond clarity grading. The determination of the clarity grade is influenced by up to five factors: size, number, contrast (colour and relief), position and nature of the inclusions. The proposed system assesses these factors (with emphasis on the first four) by using an objective metric that emulates the intuitive analysis done by experienced diamond graders. Using high-quality photographs of more than 100 randomly selected diamond examples, this article demonstrates a high degree of agreement between clarity grades obtained using this system and those determined by GIA and the American Gem Society Laboratories (AGSL). The system’s objective methodology may offer a means for improving inter- and intra-laboratory grading consistency.
SOVAT: Spatial OLAP Visualization and Analysis Tool (2005)

Community health research is practiced with disparate independently used tools that by themselves do not allow for the type of comprehensive and thorough analysis needed for effective public health evaluation. The Spatial OLAP Visualization and Analysis Tool (SOVAT) is a new type of research application for community health assessments. SOVAT integrates into one system many of the necessary characteristics needed to make comprehensive community health decisions. By combining On-Line Analytical Processing (OLAP) with Geospatial Information System (GIS) capabilities, our system can handle large amounts of data, perform geospatial and statistical calculations, and then display this information in both a numerical and spatial view within the same interface. It is anticipated that this unique system will provide researchers with the ability to perform more comprehensive assessments while enabling for more informed public health decisions.
Anton’s Syndrome due to Bilateral Ischemic Occipital Lobe Strokes (2014)

We present a case of a patient with Anton's syndrome (i.e., visual anosognosia with confabulations), who developed bilateral occipital lobe infarct. Bilateral occipital brain damage results in blindness, and patients start to confabulate to fill in the missing sensory input. In addition, the patient occasionally becomes agitated and talks to himself, which indicates that, besides Anton's syndrome, he might have had Charles Bonnet syndrome, characterized by both visual loss and hallucinations. Anton syndrome, is not so frequent condition and is most commonly caused by ischemic stroke. In this particular case, the patient had successive bilateral occipital ischemia as a result of massive stenoses of head and neck arteries.
Observations on the reproductive biology of Onchocerca volvulus. (1990)

This study compiles observations on the reproductive capacity of O. volvulus. Adult parasites enzymatically isolated from excised onchocercomata of untreated and chemotherapeutically treated patients, and from inhabitants living in areas with long vector control, were investigated to assess their fecundity. Changes of microfilaria development in utero and microfilaria release were assessed or estimated after treatment of patients with micro-filaricidal drugs that interfered with the development of intra-uterine stages. Intra-uterine production of microfilariae: After treatment of patients with ivermectin a daily development of 2500 to 4000 uterine microfilariae per female worm was observed. Actual output of microfilariae: Microfilariae left actively the female worms. The daily microfilaria release in vivo was 700 to 900 microfilariae, assessed after treatment of patients with mebendazole. In vitro most worms isolated from untreated patients shed between 500 to 1500 microfilariae per day.-The microfilarial load of 56 adult patients calculated from microfilarial skin counts was 12 million on the average. Taken for granted a mean life span of a microfilaria of 1.0 to 1.5 years, 22 to 47 female worms per patient would suffice to maintain this microfilarial load on a constant level. Excision of all palpable nodules showed a geometric mean of 15.9 female worms in these patients. It is suggested that factors intrinsic in the host and the adult worms partially operate together to regulate and maintain a stable microfilarial density.
