TCNJ Athlete Tracker (2015)

Athletes participating in competitive physical activity are susceptible to injury and overexertion. Due to the invasiveness of some monitoring devices, lack of durability, and discomfort when worn, most health monitoring devices are not suitable for athletes to wear during sports-based practices or games. The TCNJ Athlete Tracker was designed to monitor impact forces on the body, dehydration levels, body temperature, and heart rate while secured onto the athlete's body inside a form-fitting belt. The device was programmed to alert the athlete when a physiological metric was outside a specified safe range. The device records data from an infrared thermopile sensor, infrared heart rate monitor, two Ag/AgCl electrodes, and two three-axis accelerometers, and records the data on a USB memory drive. The performance of the TCNJ Athlete Tracker will be verified using standardized testing methods and validated by having athletes wear the device during a set of pre-determined exercises. This design offers a less obtrusive, comfortable, and durable monitoring device that athletes can wear during games and practices.
Optimizing imaging after coarctation stenting: The clinical utility of multidetector computer tomography (2005)

Following stenting for coarctation of the aorta, it can be difficult to image the stent adequately using cross-sectional echocardiography. Unless there is marked clinical concern regarding stent patency, repeat cardiac catheterization is not warranted. Multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) is a useful alternative imaging modality. We report a case that highlights the clinical utility of MDCT for imaging patients who have had stenting of aortic coarctation. MDCT clearly revealed stent fracture as the cause of late stent failure and recoarctation.
Diaper dermatitis (1995)

Dampness, maceration, fecal enzymes, chemicals, and other irritants lead to diaper dermatitis in infants. Most cases can be cleared with frequent diaper changes, use of superabsorbent disposable diapers (which contain gelling material in their core), and a low-potency topical corticosteroid. If the eruption lasts for more than 3 days or classic erythematous satellite lesions are present, addition of an antifungal agent should help resolve the condition. Recalcitrant or clinically atypical eruptions may signify rarer disorders, such as psoriasis, Langerhans' cell histiocytosis, Leiner's disease, or acrodermatitis enteropathica. Patients with these conditions should be referred to a dermatologist, if possible, for further evaluation and treatment.
Allophane nanoclay for the removal of phosphorus in water and wastewater (2006)

We have assessed the capacity of an allophane nanoclay to take up phosphorus (P) from aqueous solutions and meatwork effluent. The data of adsorption in aqueous solutions were fitted to the Freundlich equation: q (g/kg) ¼ 5.620C(mg/L)0.264. The nanoclay effectively removed P from a wide range of concentrations at high solution/nanoclay ratios. This finding together with the low cost and environmentally friendly nature of allophane make this material a superior candidate for the remediation of eutrophic water and the treatment of P-rich effluent and sewage. An added advantage is that allophane does not disperse in water, and hence can be recovered after use.

3D Conversion from CAD models to polygon models (2016)

This thesis describes the design and implementation of an application that converts CAD models into polygon models. When going from CAD models to 3D polygon models a conversion of the file type has to be performed. XperDI uses these polygon models in their tool, called sales configurator, to create a photo realistic environment to be able to have a look at the end product before it is manufactured. Existing tools are difficult to use and is missing features that is important for the Sales Configurator. The purpose of this thesis is to create a proof of concept application that converts CAD models into 3D polygon models. This new lightweight application is a simpler alternative to convert CAD models into polygon models and offers features needed for the intended use of these models, that the alternative products do not offer.
The experimental study on regulating serum lipid of water soluble extractive from the leave of Camellia chrysantha (Hu) Tuyama (2004)

To observe the effects on regulating serum lipid by the water soluble extractive.Wistar rats were fed by hyperlipids food 15 days to induce hyperlipidemia,and then gastrogavaged respectively with 0.8,0.4,0.2 g/kg per day the water soluble extractive. The positive group rats were treated with Lovastatin(0.01 g/kg).At the forty-third day,serum total cholesterol (TC),triglycerides (TG),high density lipoprotein (HDL-C) and low density lipoprotein (LDL-C) were mensurated. Results In the same experimental conditions,The high and medial dose of water soluble extractive could decrease the content of serum TC,TG and LDL-C in hyperlipidemia rats and the high dose group and Lovastatin dose group could increase the content of serum HDL-C.Its effects of regulating serum lipid was about equal to the Lovastatin.The treated groups have statistical significance compared with hyperlipid- aemic group by t-test.The water soluble extractive from the leave of Camellia chrysantha (Hu) Tuyama has the obvious effects on regulating serum lipid.
Login Authentication with Facial Gesture Recognition (2018)

Facial recognition has proven to be very useful and versatile, from Facebook photo tagging and Snapchat filters to modeling fluid dynamics and designing for augmented reality. However, facial recognition has only been used for user login services in conjunction with expensive and restrictive hardware technologies, such as in smart phone devices like the iPhone x. This project aims to apply machine learning techniques to reliably distinguish user accounts with only common cameras to make facial recognition logins more accessible to website and software developers. To show the feasibility of this idea, we created a web API that recognizes a users face to log them in to their account, and we will create a simple website to test the reliability of our system. In this paper, we discuss our database-centric architecture model, use cases and activity diagrams, technologies we used for the website, API, and machine learning algorithms. We also provide the screenshots of our system, the user manual, and our future plan.

Human-human explanation is an inherently incremental and interactive process. Newinformationmust behighlighted and related to what has already been presented. In this paper, we describe the explanation component of a medical information-giving syst em. We describe the architectural features that enable this component to generate subsequent explanations that take into account the context created by its prior utterances.
Multichannel techniques in color image enhancement and modeling (1996)

We present novel multichannel methods in two target research areas. The first area is color image modeling. Multichannel AR models have been developed and applied to color texture segmentation and synthesis. The second area is color image equalization, which is performed on the three RGB channels simultaneously, using the joint PDF. Alternatively, equalization at the HSI domain is performed in order to avoid changes in digital image hue. A parallel algorithm is proposed for color image histogram calculation and equalization.
Evaluation of transthoracic bioelectrical impedance analysis in monitoring lung water during diuresis (1998)

Objective: To evaluate if noninvasive monitoring of lung water by transthoracic bioimpedance analysis adds useful information to standard clinical parameters while diuresing patients with edematous lungs. Design: Prospective, observational study . Setting: University tertiary care teaching hospital. Patients and interventions: Fifty-one healthy controls had right chest transthoracic BIA measured to determine normal right chest resistance and right lung resistivity. Fourteen hospitalized fluid-overloaded patients with edematous lungs were subsequently evaluated by serial right transthoracic BIA measurements before and after four days of diuresis. Measurements and main results: Although right transthoracic resistances were significantly higher in healthy women than men, there were no significant between-sex differences in calculated right lung resistivities. Combined male and female right lung resistivities were normally distributed. Natural log conversion of chest resistivity (named t-BIA) yielded a mean of 6.54 ± 0.23, with a coefficient of variation of 3.5%. Hospitalized patients had right lung t-BlAs significantly lower than normals before diuresis (6.22 ± 0.48; p < 0.01). After diuresis, these rose into the normal range (6.40 ± 0.51). Eight patients (57%) had an increase in chest resistivity, i.e., drier lungs and weight loss. Four patients (29%) who lost weight had wetter lungs and two patients (14%) who gained weight had drier lungs. Chest resistivity changes did not correlate with changes in body weight, chest exam or fluid balance. Conclusion: During diuresis, t-BIA measured changes in lung water add useful additional information to standard clinical parameters by both monitoring the dynamic changes that occur during treatment and by helping to establish meaningful therapeutic endpoints.
Experimental and Clinical studies on Lower Esophageal Sphincter Motor Function with special reference to the Influence of Vagal Denervation. (1994)

Dysmotility of lower esophageal sphincter (LES) is common following gastric surgery. This may result in gastroesophageal reflux which frequently seen following gastric surgery. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of various surgical procedures on esophagogastric motility in dog and human. Esophago-gastric motility was investigated by strain gauge transducers during fasted and fed state in conscious dogs. Motility recordings were performed in three groups of dogs; 1) control dogs, 2) with truncal vagotomized dogs (TV), 3) with selective proximal vagotomized dogs (SPV). In human, manometric recordings were performed before and after gastric surgery (SPV or distal partial gastrectomy). In control animals, lower esophagus and LES contracted simultaneously with each contractions of the stomach during interdigestive motor contractions in fasted state. In fed state, LES showed tonic contractions, while gastric body showed receptive relaxation. These motility pattern of LES was considered to prevent gastroesophageal reflux in both fasted and fed states. These coordinated LES contractions disappeared following SPV or TV. In human, the amplitude and velocity of esophageal propagating contractions deceased after SPV or distal partial gastrectomy. In conclusion, gastric surgeries such as SPV, TV and/or distal partial gastrectomy caused LES dysmotility. These phenomena explain frequent gastroesophageal reflux following gastric surgery. Supplementation of anti-reflux procedure for gastric surgery should be required in the prevention of gastroesophageal reflux following gastric surgery.
Muertos incómodos: the Monologic Poliphony of Subcomandante Marcos (2006)

This Letter presents a search for a heavy neutral particle decaying into an opposite-sign different-flavor dilepton pair, e^{±}μ^{∓}, e^{±}τ^{∓}, or μ^{±}τ^{∓} using 20.3 fb^{-1} of pp collision data at sqrt[s]=8 TeV collected by the ATLAS detector at the LHC. The numbers of observed candidate events are compatible with the standard model expectations. Limits are set on the cross section of new phenomena in two scenarios: the production of ν[over ˜]_{τ} in R-parity-violating supersymmetric models and the production of a lepton-flavor-violating Z^{'} vector boson.
The renin-angiotensin system and body function (1985)

• Angiotensin II, the biologically active component of the renin-angiotensin system, acts throughout the body to produce an impressive number of cardiovascular, endocrine, metabolic, and behavioral effects. Major actions include elevation of arterial pressure, stimulation of aldosterone secretion, and a variety of effects on the kidneys, brain, and pituitary. Investigation of the role of the renin-angiotensin system in physiological regulation has been greatly facilitated by the availability of specific inhibitors of the formation or actions of angiotensin II, most notably converting-enzyme inhibitors and angiotensin receptor antagonists. Studies with these agents have clearly shown that the renin-angiotensin system plays an important role in the defense of body balance and blood pressure in hypovolemic state, including sodium deficiency and hemorrhage. The inhibitors also lower blood pressure in some forms of hypertension, and converting-enzyme inhibitors are proving to be effective antihypertensive agents.

Document Understanding: Research Directions (1992)

A document image is a visual representation of a printed page such as a journal article page, a facsimile cover page, a technical document, an office letter, etc. Document understanding as a research endeavor consists of studying all processes involved in taking a document through various representations: from a scanned physical document to high-level semantic descriptions of the document. Some of the types of representation that are useful are: editable descriptions, descriptions that enable exact reproductions and high-level semantic descriptions about document content. This report is a definition of five research subdomains within document understanding as pertaining to predominantly printed documents. The topics described are: modular architectures for document understanding; decomposition and structural analysis of documents; model-based OCR; table, diagram and image understanding; and performance evaluation under distortion and noise. 1 Each of the main sections of this paper we...
Parasporal crystals produced by oligosporogenous mutants of <i>Bacillus thuringiensis</i> (Spo<sup>−</sup> Cr<sup>+</sup>) (1980)

Six oligosporogenic (Spo-) mutant strains of Bacillus thuringiensis were selected from survivors of treatment with N-methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine. Each strain was blocked at or before stage II of spore development, but all produced typical bipyramidal-shaped crystalline inclusion bodies. Toxicity of the paraporad typical bipyramidal-shaped crystalline inclusion bodies. Toxicity of the parasporal endotoxin isolated from the mutant strains was assayed by an in vitro technique using cultured insect cells, and was comparable with that of normal wild-type parasporal protein. Multiple parasporal inclusion bodies per cell were often produced, and smaller embedded particles were numerous and distinct.
Influence of Sugar Beet Seed Treatment with<i>Pseudomonas fluorescens</i>and Low Fungicide Doses on Infection with<i>Pythium</i>and Plant Yield and Quality (2006)

Abstract The effect of sugar beet seed inoculation with the bacterium Pseudomonas fluorescens and treatment with the fungicides Thiram 42‐S and Dithane S‐60 with and without seed inoculation aiming to control the root decay agents Pythium ultimum and Pythium debarianum was studied during a 2‐year trial on two soil types (Mollic Gleysols and Eutric Cambisols). The influence of the treatments on parameters of sugar beet yield and quality such as root yield, sugar content, sugar in molasses, sugar yield as well as percentage of the infected and decayed plants as a consequence of parasitic oomycete infestation will be described.
Stem Cell Factor and FLT3-Ligand Are Strictly Required to Sustain the Long-Term Expansion of Primitive CD34+DR− Dendritic Cell Precursors (2001)

We studied cytokine-driven differentiation of primitive human CD34(+)HLA-DR(-) cells to myeloid dendritic cells (DC). Hemopoietic cells were grown in long-term cultures in the presence of various combinations of early acting cytokines such as FLT3-ligand (FLT3-L) and stem cell factor (SCF) and the differentiating growth factors GM-CSF and TNF-alpha. Two weeks of incubation with GM-CSF and TNF-alpha generated fully functional DC. However, clonogenic assays demonstrated that CFU-DC did not survive beyond 1 wk in liquid culture regardless of whether FLT3-L and/or SCF were added. FLT3-L or SCF alone did not support DC maturation. However, the combination of the two early acting cytokines allowed a 100-fold expansion of CFU-DC for >1 month. Phenotypic analysis demonstrated the differentiation of CD34(+)DR(-) cells into CD34(-)CD33(+)DR(+)CD14(+) cells, which were intermediate progenitors capable of differentiating into functionally active DC upon further incubation with GM-CSF and TNF-alpha. As expected, GM-CSF and TNF-alpha generated DC from committed CD34(+)DR(+) cells. However, only SCF, with or without FLT3-L, induced the expansion of DC precursors for >4 wk, as documented by secondary clonogenic assays. This demonstrates that although GM-CSF and TNF-alpha do not require additional cytokines to generate DC from primitive human CD34(+)DR(-) progenitor cells, they do force terminal differentiation of DC precursors. Conversely, FLT3-L and SCF do not directly affect DC differentiation, but instead sustain the long-term expansion of CFU-DC, which can be induced to produce mature DC by GM-CSF and TNF-alpha.
Genetics of ulcerative colitis (2010)

Ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn's disease (CD) are related polygenic inflammatory bowel diseases (IBDs), with distinct and overlapping susceptibility loci. Recently, hypothesis-free genome-wide association (GWA) studies have revolutionized the field of complex disease genetics. Substantial advances have been achieved in defining the genetic architecture of IBD. To date, over 60 published IBD susceptibility loci have been discovered and replicated, of which approximately a third are associated with both UC and CD, although 21 are specific to UC and 23 to CD. In CD, the breakthrough identification of NOD2 as a susceptibility gene was followed by a rapid phase of gene discovery from GWA studies between 2006 and 2008. Progress in UC was slower; however, by initially testing hits for CD in UC, and later scanning larger UC cohorts, significant new loci for UC have been discovered, with exciting novel insights into disease pathogenesis. Notably, genes implicated in mucosal barrier function (ECM1, CDH1, HNF4α, and laminin B1) confer risk of UC; furthermore, E-cadherin is the first genetic correlation between colorectal cancer and UC. Impaired IL10 signaling has reemerged as a key pathway in intestinal inflammation, and is perhaps the most amenable to therapeutic intervention in UC. Collaborative international efforts with large meta-analyses of GWA studies and replication will yield many new UC genes. Furthermore, a large effort is required to characterize the loci found. Fine-mapping, deep resequencing, and functional studies will be critical to translating these gene discoveries into pathogenic insights, and ultimately into clinical insights and novel therapeutics.
Immunoregulation in Autoimmune Thyroid Disease (1987)

Times change. This trite but apt phrase can safely be applied to the study of autoimmune thyroid diseases, including Graves' disease and Hashimoto's thyroiditis and its variants, to reflect the remarkable progress made during the past three decades. This period began in 1956 with the seminal discoveries of thyroid antibodies by Roitt and Doniach, of experimental autoimmune thyroiditis by Rose and Witebsky, and of an abnormal thyroid stimulator in Graves' disease by Adams and Purves.1 In 1972 I contributed an editorial to the Journal 2 in which I indicated that cell-mediated immunity had then been demonstrated in Graves' disease and further . . .
Basal cell carcinoma development is associated with induction of the expression of the transcription factor Gli‐1 (1998)

Recent work has established that activation of Hedgehog/patched signalling plays a key role in the development of basal cell carcinomas (BCCs). In Drosophila the effects of hedgehog signalling are mediated by the transcription factor Cubitus interruptus, which is homologous to the mammalian Gli family of transcription factors. In order to investigate the downstream consequences of patched gene inactivation in BCCs, we have investigated the expression of Gli-1 and Gli-3 in normal skin and BCCs by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and in situ hybridization. Gli-3 was found to be expressed in both normal skin and BCCs by both RT-PCR and in situ hybridization using a Gli-3-specific probe. Using a sensitive RT-PCR assay we were unable to detect Gli-1 transcripts in normal skin. Gli-1 was expressed in 13 of 14 BCCs examined, and in situ hybridization confirmed that the transcripts were localized to the epithelial component of the tumours. Our results demonstrate that inactivation of the patched gene BCCs is associated with the accumulation of Gli-1 transcripts. These findings suggest that the Gli-1 transcription factor plays a key role in BCC development.
High Resolution Adaptively Steered Horizon Tracker (2012)

Automatic horizon tracking is an essential productivity tool for 3D seismic interpretation. Several methods are commercially available to perform this task. However, these methods fail in areas of rapidly changing structure or reflection character. Human intervention and editing in such situations slows the productivity. We propose an auto-tracker that adapts to variations of structure, changes in wavelet shape and statistics of signal amplitude. It tracks horizons as patches of constant dip where the patch extent varies according to the rate of change of dip. It allows a degree of change in wavelet shape within a patch, and adapts to change of amplitude according to local statistics. The dip steering function is the spatial gradient of continuous phase spectrum that is derived from a spectral decomposition technique known as Continuous Amplitude and Phase Spectrum ‘CAPS’. The techniquecomputes Fourier Transform of a short-time signal with high frequency resolution. The proposed approach is applied to real 3D seismic volumes from spatially varying structures and changing signal shapes and amplitudes. The auto-tracker successfully steered across the changing structures and varying amplitudes to pick horizons.

The Primer Generator: A Program that Facilitates the Selection of Oligonucleotides for Site-Directed Mutagenesis (1999)

Site-directed mutagenesis is a powerful tool that has enabled molecular biologists to perform functional analysis of altered nucleic acids and proteins. Newer PCR-based mutagenesis techniques have reduced the process of mutagenesis to as little as one day. While each technique has its advantages, both require a strategy to isolate the desired clone from a population that contains mutagenized and wild-type genes. In this report, we describe a World Wide Web-based computer program that facilitates the design of mutagenic primers such that successfully mutagenized clones can be identified by the presence or absence of a unique restriction site.
Digoxin and Reduction in Mortality and Hospitalization in Geriatric Heart Failure: Importance of Low Doses and Low Serum Concentrations (2007)

Digoxin at low SDC was associated with a reduction in mortality and hospitalization in chronic geriatric HF, and low-dose digoxin was the strongest predictor of low SDC.
