Lipophilicity matters – A new look at experimental plant uptake data from literature (2020)

Peer-reviewed Transpiration Stream Concentration Factor (TSCF) values were analysed to elucidate whether pH-induced changes in lipophilicity can explain some of the variability in reported TSCF and whether a potential relationship between lipophilicity and TSCF can be described by a simple mathematical model. The data set for this investigation combined TSCF values of 42 non-ionisable and ionisable compounds from hydroponic tests with intact plants and publicly available lipophilicity data for the tested compounds. The data set was not homogenous in terms of molecular weight of the tested compounds, plant species used for testing and experimental conditions, but a strong effect of one of these factors on variation in reported TSCF was not detected. Variation in TSCF was high for the same or similar predicted octanol/water partitioning coefficient (log P) but could be reduced by considering octanol/water distribution coefficients (log D) instead. The TSCF data set was split into a training and a test data set in order to identify and test a best-fit model describing the relationship between log D and TSCF. Comparing different types of models (linear, sigmoidal, Gaussian), the Gaussian model fitted to the training data set after removal of two outliers was identified as best-fit model based on visual assessment and fit statistics (RMSE = 0.20, NSE = 0.57, R = 0.75 (p < 0.001)). The 95% confidence interval around the best-fit model contained about 70% of data points in the training set and the test set, respectively. In conclusion, compound lipophilicity expressed as log D is a more appropriate descriptor of uptake by plant roots and subsequent translocation than log P when ionisable compounds are considered. Furthermore, findings in this study suggest that a relationship exists between log D and TSCF for uptake tests with intact plants which can be described by a simple bell-shaped Gaussian model.
Thermal–Photovoltaic Hybrid Solar Generator Using Thin-Film Thermoelectric Modules (2012)

We fabricated thin-film thermoelectric modules for thermal–photovoltaic hybrid solar generator. Bi 0.5 Sb 1.5 Te 3 (p-type) and Bi 2 Te 2.7 Se 0.3 (n-type) thermoelectric thin films were deposited by radio-frequency magnetron sputtering method and patterned to form plane-type thermoelectric modules using lift-off technique. The hybrid module consisted of the thin-film thermoelectric module, a photovoltaic module, a hot mirror, and a near-infrared (NIR) focusing lens. NIR light, which does not contribute to photovoltaic conversion, was separated from solar light using the hot mirror. When the NIR light was focused onto the hot side of the thermoelectric module by the lens, the open voltage generated by the thin-film thermoelectric generator was 78 mV. The total open voltage of the thermal–photovoltaic hybrid generator increased by 1.3% compared to that of the photovoltaic module alone.

The role of oxygen and fluorine in the electron emission of some kinds of cathodes (1988)

Experiments have proved that lowering of the work function of a cathode by adsorbing both oxygen and electropositive metallic elements on its surface may be more effective than by adsorbing simply the metallic element. However, the role played by oxygen is not yet completely clear. In this paper we first discuss briefly the situation of the thermionic cathode. Then the role of oxygen or fluorine in the activation of the negative electron affinity GaAs photocathode is discussed. Emphasis will be placed on the atomic core potential field of the surface atoms of the cathode, the bonding state of the surface adsorption layer (Cs or O), and the transfer of electron charges in the surface atoms. The conclusion is drawn that an appropriate quantity of oxygen adsorbed on the cathode surface would be essential to result in a better dispenser cathode and also high quantum yield negative electron affinity photocathodes, while fluorine would play an important part in the electron emission stability.
EXPERIMENTAL FIBROIDS AND THE ANTIFIBROMATOGENIC ACTION OF STEROID HORMONES (1942)

Not being a gynecologist or an obstetrician, I feel obliged to offer my apologies for presenting a paper on experimental fibroids and their prevention in this section inspired by practical aims which might be of use to suffering womanhood. Let me express my apology in the words of a great American. Almost one hundred and fifty years ago, a few days before the final treaty of independence with England was signed, Franklin saw in Paris the first balloon ascension. The spectators argued about the utility of the experiment. What good, some skeptic asked, could a balloon be? What good, Franklin replied, was a newborn baby? Obstetricians and gynecologists will be the first to appreciate or not the claims of the scientific newborn babies, which experimental fibroids and antifibromatogenic steroids are. Subserous uterine fibroids were first elicited in the United States by W. O. Nelson in a number of guinea pigs
The Th17-Defining Transcription Factor RORγt Promotes Glomerulonephritis (2010)

Although Th17 responses may contribute to the pathogenesis of glomerulonephritis, whether the key transcription factor in Th17 cell development, RORγt, also promotes glomerulonephritis is unknown. Here, we induced crescentic glomerulonephritis in wild-type and RORγt-deficient (RORγt(-/-)) mice. RORγt(-/-) mice were protected from disease, with reduced histologic and functional injury and decreased leukocyte infiltration. Because RORγt(-/-) mice lack lymph nodes, which may influence the development of nephritis, we performed cell-transfer studies. We reconstituted Rag1(-/-) mice, which lack adaptive immunity but otherwise have normal architecture of the lymphatic system, with splenocytes from naïve wild-type or RORγt(-/-) mice. Mice receiving wild-type splenocytes exhibited high mortality from renal failure after induction of nephritis whereas mice receiving RORγt(-/-) cells were protected. To determine the effect of RORγt deficiency specifically in T helper cells, we isolated naïve CD4(+) T cells from wild-type and RORγt(-/-) mice and transferred them into Rag1(-/-) animals. Recipients of wild-type CD4(+) T cells developed severe glomerulonephritis whereas recipients of RORγt(-/-) cells developed less severe disease. To exclude effects of altered regulatory T cell (Treg) development caused by RORγt deficiency, we transferred naïve CD4(+) T cells depleted of Tregs into Rag1(-/-) mice. Recipients of wild-type, Treg-depleted, CD4(+) T cells developed severe glomerulonephritis whereas recipients of RORγt(-/-), Treg-depleted CD4(+) T cells did not. Taken together, this study demonstrates that RORγt promotes the development of crescentic glomerulonephritis by directing nephritogenic Th17 responses.
An Information Security Maturity Evaluation Mode (2011)

Information security is very important because it aims to protect the user from any threats and risks, thus to make the information access is safe, reliable and confidential and to ensure that the information security policy can be carried out by organizations. Yet usually, organizations fail to implement these information security policies. This paper put forward a measurement model of information security evaluation, which includes three levels to decide the maturity level of the information security of an organization. This model adopts the systematic literature (SLR) to determine the appropriate measurement instrument parameters to identify the parameter combination. This model can be determined by the organization of the maturity level in security information, which enables the organization to improve their current information security measures.

Sensory and Chemical Examination of Aromatic and Nonaromatic Rices (1989)

ABSTRACT Two different panels were trained to evaluate the character of four aromatic and two nonaromatic rices. The judges used terms with which they were familiar to describe the odor of aromatic rice: pandan for the orientals and popcorn for the nonorientals. The rice volatiles were separated by a gas chromatograph equipped with a packed column and a sniffing port. The peaks possessing the aromatic principle were identified by GC‐MS and correlated with the desirable aroma terms. 2‐Acetyl‐l‐pyrroline showed highly significant positive correlations with the descriptive terms; hexanol showed negative correlations.
Building database-driven electronic catalogs (1998)

This paper describes issues and solutions related to the creation of a product information database in the enterprise, and using this database as a foundation for deploying an electronic catalog. Today, product information is typically managed in document composition systems and communicated on paper. In the new wired world, these processes are undertaking fundamental changes to cope with the time to market pressure and the need for accurate, complete, and structured presentation of product information. Electronic catalogs are the answer.
p H -adaptive microlenses using pinned liquid-liquid interfaces actuated by pH-responsive hydrogel (2006)

The authors report on variable-focus liquid microlenses self-adaptive to environmental pH. The microlens is formed via a water-oil interface stably pinned at a hydrophobic-hydrophilic contact line along an aperture in a flexible slip. A set of hydrogel microposts is photopatterned in a microfluidic chamber around the aperture; the microposts autonomously respond to the environmental pH variation by expanding or contracting, thus deforming the aperture slip and tuning the curvature of the water-oil interface and the focal length of the microlens. A single microlens has a tunable focal length from −7.6mm to −∞ (divergent) and from 8.5mm to +∞ (convergent).
Gender, emotionality, and victim impact statements (2012)

Purpose The present study aims to examine the influence of emotional content and gender pertaining to victim impact statements (VIS) on sentencing outcomes. Design/methodology/approach The authors used a 2 (emotionality)×2 (participant gender)×2 (victim gender)×2 (statement gender) factorial design. Participants ( n =715) read a crime vignette and corresponding VIS, and completed questionnaires pertaining to sentencing recommendations, legal attitudes, and levels of emotional empathy (counterbalanced). Findings Results indicated that participant gender was related to the emotional appeal of the VIS, and ratings of punishment severity. Emotional empathy was positively associated with perceptions of credibility and emotionality. Higher legal attitudes scores were positively correlated with higher minimum sentences, ratings of credibility, emotional appeal, as well as more severe punishments. Originality/value This study has important implications with respect to perceptions of VIS in relation to how emotional they are, who the victim is, who the statement is written by, and who hears the statement. Given the lack of previous research in this area, the study provides data that warrant further investigation.
The final diagnosis in pouch patients for presumed ulcerative colitis may change to Crohn's disease: patients should be warned of the consequences. (2000)

Our findings show that ileal pouch anal anastomosis is a satisfactory procedure for UC but that the diagnosis had to be changed to CD in 20 of 222 cases. Thus patients should be warned about a 48% failure rate and a high incidence of complications if CD declares itself during follow-up but Crohn's patients who retain their pouch have functional results that are indistinguishable from UC.
Introduction (1994)

The ten articles translated here form a kind of patchwork quilt, representing various and often conflicting views on the present condition of the Russian intelligentsia. Selected from many dozens on the topic that have come out in journals and newspapers over the past three years and continue to appear frequently today, these pieces describe an element in Russian society that is clearly demoralized.
Automatic base station selection and configuration in mobile networks (2002)

We consider the automatic selection and configuration of base station sites for mobile cellular networks. A solution framework based on simulated annealing is used for site selection and for base station configuration. The configuration of each base station involves selecting various parameters. Results are presented for several design scenarios with between 250 and 750 candidate sites, and show that the solution framework can generate network designs with desired characteristics such as high area coverage and high traffic capacity.
The perioperative antimicrobial management of pressure ulcers. (1990)

No clear data exist as to the efficacious use of antibiotics during the perioperative period for repair of pressure ulcers. Results of a survey from 50 university departments of plastic surgery and spinal cord injury centers revealed that 58% reported routine use of antibiotics for flap surgery with cephalosporins as the choice at 69% of the centers. Clinical experience with 35 patients perioperatively showed good results with a third generation cephalosporin.
Ergonomic methods for assessing exposure to risk factors for work-related musculoskeletal disorders (2005)

The choice between the methods available will depend upon the application concerned and the objectives of the study. General, observation-based assessments appear to provide the levels of costs, capacity, versatility, generality and exactness best matched to the needs of occupational safety and health practitioners (or those from related professions) who have limited time and resources at their disposal and need a basis for establishing priorities for intervention.

The text integrates diverse elements of fiber optics and provides a clear picture of how they are used in fiber optics communication. By introducing the terminology used in fiber optics,and describing the building blocks of an optical fiber system,Powers' text permits students to process the initial design of optical links,and to understand the tradeoffs made in designing and using a fiber optics communication line.
A Parallel Mechanism for Detecting Curves in Pictures (1975)

In Hough [1], Duda and Hart [2], and Griffith [3] procedures were proposed for detecting lines in pictures and in [2] Duda and Hart extended their method for more general algebraic curve, fitting. This correspondence shows how this method can be used to detect any given curve in a specific orientation. The procedure presented here con be easily implemented and can be efficiently implemented in a parallel machine.
Hexagonal photonic-band-gap structures (1996)

We investigate a class of two-dimensional hexagonal structures that possess photonic band gaps. This class includes the previously studied triangular structure as a particular case. By symmetry analysis, we obtain a clear insight into the gap opening and we show how the photonic band gaps are affected by the characteristics of materials, according to whether the dielectric constant of the cylinders is larger or smaller than the background one. The photonic band structures present numerous gaps, and we study the evolution of these gaps as functions of the diameter and nature of cylinders. Our results demonstrate the existence of absolute band gaps for many configurations, largest gaps being obtained for triangular and graphite structures. \textcopyright{} 1996 The American Physical Society.
Spin transport in two-dimensional materials and van der Waals heterostructures (2016)

Summary form only given. Two-dimensional (2D) atomic crystals are considered to be very promising for nanoelectronics and spintronics applications. It provides a large class of materials proposed to be important for long distance spin transport, spin polarized tunneling and large spin-orbit coupling. Here I will discuss spintronic aspects of these 2D materials and their heterostructures. Graphene is considered to be an ideal material for spin transport due to the high mobility and long spin lifetime of the carriers. Recently, we demonstrated spin transport over distances of 16 μm and spin lifetimes up to 1.2 ns in large area CVD graphene on SiO <sub xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">2</sub> /Si substrate at room temperature [1]. Subsequently, using insulating h-BN as a tunnel barrier on graphene, we observe an enhancement in spin polarized tunneling [2], and its negative sign for thicker h-BN layers [3]. These signatures provide an experimental evidence of the spin filtering across the ferromagnet/hBN-graphene van der Waals heterostructures. We also employed 2D materials such as h-BN and MoS <sub xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">2</sub> in ferromagnetic tunnel junctions for observation of tunnel magnetoresistance up to room temperature [4]. We further aim to address the issue of spin manipulation in graphene by employing heterostructures with other 2D semiconductors [5], topological insulators [6] and materials with novel spin textures. I will present both electronic and spintronic properties of these 2D materials and their heterostructures. These findings open a platform for exploring novel spin functionalities in 2D crystals and understanding the basic phenomenon that control their behavior.
Production of superoxide anion by bovine pulmonary macrophages challenged with soluble and particulate stimuli. (1985)

The effects of opsonized zymosan, phorbal myristate acetate, and live Pasteurella haemolytica on superoxide anion production by bovine pulmonary macrophages were determined. The anion responses were dose-dependent for all stimuli, except for unopsonized P haemolytica. The effect of viable P haemolytica on macrophage viability was related to bacterial dosage and the presence of opsonizing antibody. Superoxide responses varied directly with the dose of opsonized live P haemolytica, but indirectly with macrophage viability.
Topics in Guided-Wave Propagation Through Gyromagnetic Media (1954)

The characteristic equation for the propagation constants of waves in a filled circular guide of arbitrary radius is written in terms of magnetizing field and a carrier density, which are shown essentially to determine the dielectric and permeability tensors for a gas discharge plasma and for a fertile. The complex structure of the spectrum of propagation constants and its dependence upon radius and the two parameters are analyzed by a semigraphical method, supplemented by exact formulae in special regions. Thus the course of individual modes may be charted with fair accuracy.
Evaluation de la biomasse ligneuse en Afrique subsaharienne (1994)

Woodfuels play a dominant role in energy balance of countries in Sub-Saharan Africa, and shortages of woodfuel exist, or are perceived to exist, in many areas. This volume describes a first attempt to map the varied vegetation and types of land cover in Sub-Saharan Africa and to assess the growing stock and sustainable yield of woody biomass. It is the result of a project undertaken by the Energy Sector Management Assistance Program (ESMAP) to address the lack of data on energy resources for most African countries. This information is essential for calculating energy balances. The work's usefulness, however, goes far beyond questions of energy sufficiency. Appropriate management of Africa's biological resources, to which it is hoped this work will contribute, will help maintain and perhaps enhance environmental quality on the continent. Moreover, the extent of worldwide forest cover has come to be recognized as a critical variable in predicting global climate change. Together these considerations make the assessment of existing wood resources in Africa a timely intervention. This study includes: a discussion on meteorological satellite data for vegetation and land use mapping; a description of the processes used in classifying and mapping land cover classes; a woody biomass assessment; a description of biomass classes; and finally, regional summaries by class of biomass.

Effect of blade sweep on inlet flow in axial compressor cascades (2014)

This paper presents comparative numerical studies to investigate the effects of blade sweep on inlet flow in axial compressor cascades. A series of swept and straight cascades was modeled in order to obtain a general understanding of the inlet flow field that is induced by sweep. A computational fluid dynamics (CFD) package was used to simulate the cascades and obtain the required three-dimensional (3D) flow parameters. A circumferentially averaged method was introduced which provided the circumferential fluctuation (CF) terms in the momentum equation. A program for data reduction was conducted to obtain a circumferentially averaged flow field. The influences of the inlet flow fields of the cascades were studied and spanwise distributions of each term in the momentum equation were analyzed. The results indicate that blade sweep does affect inlet radial equilibrium. The characteristic of radial fluid transfer is changed and thus influencing the axial velocity distributions. The inlet flow field varies mainly due to the combined effect of the radial pressure gradient and the CF component. The axial velocity varies consistently with the incidence variation induced by the sweep, as observed in the previous literature. In addition, factors that might influence the radial equilibrium such as blade camber angles, solidity and the effect of the distance from the leading edge are also taken into consideration and comparatively analyzed.
Impact of gestational low-protein intake on embryonic kidney microRNA expression and in nephron progenitor cells of the male fetus (2021)

Maternal protein restriction changes the expression of miRNAs, mRNAs, and proteins involved in proliferation, differentiation, and apoptosis during renal development. Renal ontogenic dysfunction, caused by maternal protein restriction, promotes reduced reciprocal interaction between CM and UB; consequently, a programmed and expressive decrease in nephron number occurs in the fetus.
Increased frequency of intracellular interleukin (IL)-13 and IL-10, but not IL-4, expressing CD4+ and CD8+ peripheral T cells of patients with atopic dermatitis (2002)

This study demonstrates a type 2 cytokine production in the CD4+ and CD8+ T cells of AD patients, which is characterized by an elevated IL-13, but not by IL-4 secretion, and by an increased level of the immunoregulatory IL-10, which can contribute to a decrease in IFN-gamma expression.
