Real-Time Energy Management Strategy Based on Velocity Forecasts Using V2V and V2I Communications (2016)

The performance of energy management in hybrid electric vehicles is highly dependent on the forecasted velocity. To this end, a new velocity-prediction approach utilizing the concept of chaining neural network (CNN) is introduced. This velocity forecasting approach is subsequently used as the basis for an equivalent consumption minimization strategy (ECMS). The CNN is used to predict the velocity over different temporal horizons, exploiting the information provided through vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) and vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) communication channels. In addition, a new adaptation law for the so-called equivalent factor (EF) in ECMS is devised to investigate the effects of future velocity on fuel economy and to impose charge sustainability. Compared with traditional adaptation law, this paper considers the impact of predicted velocity on EF. The control objective is to improve the fuel economy relative to the ECMS without considering predicted velocity. Finally, simulations are conducted in three cases over different prediction horizons to demonstrate the performance of the proposed velocity-prediction method and ECMS with adaptation law. Simulation results confirm that ECMS with EF adjusted by the proposed adaptation law produces between 0.2% and 5% improvements in fuel economy relative to ECMS with traditional adaptation law. In addition, better charge sustainability is achieved as well.
[Delayed results of the treatment of patients with laryngeal cancer in Moscow]. (2009)

The objective of the present study was to analysis results of the follow-up survey involving 1,532 patients with laryngeal cancer residing in Moscow for the period from 1999 till 2005. The five-year survival rates among the patients treated in otolaringological departments of general medical care settings (12.6%) and in specialized oncological centers of Moscow (87.4%) were compared. The difference between the outcomes of the treatment are attributable to a variety of causes. It is emphasized that surgical treatment of patients with stage III and IV laryngeal cancer should be combined with radio- and chemotherapy. The treatment should be given in specialized oncological facilities having the adequately trained personnel and the necessary equipment for the in-depth examination of the patients to ensure planning rational treatment strategies and preventive medical surveillance on a permanent basis.
Administration of human chorionic gonadotropin to suckled beef cows before ovulation synchronization and fixed-time insemination: Replacement of gonadotropin-releasing hormone with human chorionic gonadotropin1 (2011)

Two experiments were conducted to evaluate whether hCG administered 7 d before initiating the CO-Synch + controlled internal drug release (CIDR) ovulation synchronization protocol (Exp. 1 and 2), or replacing GnRH with hCG at the time of AI (Exp. 1), would improve fertility to a fixed-time AI (TAI) in suckled beef cows. In addition, the effects of hCG on follicle dynamics, corpus luteum development, and concentrations of progesterone (P4) were evaluated. In Exp. 1, cows were stratified by days postpartum, age, and parity and assigned randomly to a 2 × 2 factorial arrangement of 4 treatments: 1) cows received 100 µg of GnRH at CIDR insertion (d −7) and 25 mg of PGF2α at CIDR removal (d 0), followed in 64 to 68 h by a TAI plus a second injection of GnRH at TAI (CG; n = 29); 2) same as CG but the second injection of GnRH at the time of insemination was replaced by hCG (CH; n = 28); 3) same as CG, but cows received hCG 7 d (d −14) before CIDR insertion (HG; n = 28); and 4) same as HG, but cows received hCG 7 d (d −14) before CIDR insertion (HH; n = 29). Pregnancy rates were 52, 41, 59, and 38% for GG, GH, HG, and HH, respectively. Cows receiving hCG (39%) in place of GnRH at TAI tended (P = 0.06) to have poorer pregnancy rates than those receiving GnRH (56%). Pre-CO-Synch hCG treatment increased (P < 0.05) the percentage of cows with concentrations of P4 >1 ng/mL at d −7, increased (P < 0.02) concentration of P4 on d −7, and decreased (P < 0.001) the size of the dominant follicle on d 0 and 3, compared with cows not treated with hCG on d −14. In Exp. 2, cows were stratified based on days postpartum, BCS, breed type, and calf sex and then assigned to the CG (n = 102) or HG (n = 103) treatments. Overall pregnancy rates were 51%, but no differences in pregnancy rates were detected between treatments. Pre-CO-Synch hCG treatment increased (P < 0.05) the percentage of cows cycling on d −7 and increased (P < 0.05) concentrations of P4 on d −7 compared with pre-CO-Synch controls. Therefore, pretreatment induction of ovulation after hCG injection 7 d before initiation of CO-Synch + CIDR protocol failed to enhance pregnancy rates, but replacing GnRH with hCG at the time of AI may reduce pregnancy rates.
Implantable Devices: Issues and Challenges (2012)

Ageing population and a multitude of neurological and cardiovascular illnesses that cannot be mitigated by medication alone have resulted in a significant growth in the number of patients that require implantable electronic devices. These range from sensors, gastric and cardiac pacemakers, cardioverter defibrillators, to deep brain, nerve, and bone stimulators. Long-term implants present specific engineering challenges, including low energy consumption and stable performance. Resorbable electronics may offer excellent short-term performance without the need for surgical removal. However, most electronic materials have poor bio- and cytocompatibility, resulting in immune reactions and infections. This paper reviews the current situation and highlights challenges for future advancements.
5‐Hydroxyindole slows desensitization of the 5‐HT<sub>3</sub> receptor‐mediated ion current in N1E‐115 neuroblastoma cells (1993)

Effects of 5-hydroxyindole (5-OHi) on 5-HT3 receptor-operated ion current were investigated in voltage-clamped N1E-115 neuroblastoma cells. In the presence of 1 mM 5-OHi, the amplitudes of inward currents induced by the agonists 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT), 2-methyl-5-HT and dopamine were enhanced and desensitization of the responses was markedly slowed down. The results indicate that 5-OHi selectively modifies the desensitization of the 5-HT3 receptor-mediated ion current.
SU‐GG‐T‐303: Evaluation of An Implantable MOSFET Dosimeter for Use with Hypo‐Fractionated External Beam Treatments (2008)

Purpose: Evaluate the performance of an implantable MOSFET dosimeter designed for hypo‐fractionated protocols. Method and Materials: The DVS® implantable dosimeter has been developed for use with external beam radiotherapy. A new version is currently under development for use with hypo‐fractionated protocols (DVS‐HFT*). This dosimeter is pre‐calibrated for use at body temperature in a dose per fraction range of 340–1200 cGy. The dosimeter response was evaluated in a water phantom at 37°C to validate the accuracy as a function of dose. Since delivery times for high dose fractions can vary, a study of the response as a function of treatment time was performed. In addition, dose rate dependency for high doses was evaluated. Final dosimeter accuracy was validated by delivering simulated hypo‐fractionated treatments on a body phantom at 37 °C. Two dosimeters each (total six) were irradiated inside the phantom with a breast BID plan at 340 cGy per fraction (10 fx), two prostate IMRT plans at 700 cGy per fraction (5 fx) using 6 MV and 18 MV. Results: The dosimeter had minimum dependency on dose fraction size from 340 to 1200 cGy. Phantom testing found a response accuracy of <6% for 50 dosimeters tested with different doses and fractionation schemes. Dose rate dependence measurements in the range of 300 to 600 MU/min showed <0.6% variability. The dosimeter was found to have a slight dose response fall off as a function of fraction number for irradiation times larger than 1 hour. Simulated clinical treatments on six dosimeters resulted in an overall accuracy of −0.65% (σ=1.9%). Conclusion: Hypo‐fractionated treatments have fewer fractions requiring increased treatment accuracy. Phantom testing suggests that the DVS‐HFT could be used to measure the dose per fraction delivered helping optimize hypo‐fractionated treatments. *Not FDA cleared for use in the US Research sponsored by Sicel Technologies, Inc.

A Comparative Study of Manic vs Schizophrenic Speech Disorganization (1986)

Recent studies have indicated that thought disorder occurs among manics at least to the same degree as among schizophrenics. The present study assumes that thought disorder can be considered as an abnormality of language whereby listeners are unable to organize speech into a single, coherent "whole." A model of language processing is presented that predicts that the incoherence of manic speech is due to shifts from one coherent discourse structure to another, while the ability of schizophrenic speakers to construct any discourse structure is deficient. A discourse analysis was applied to normal, manic, and schizophrenic speech samples. The two hypotheses were supported. The implications of these findings in light of other investigations of mania and schizophrenia are discussed.
Bandwidth on Demand Service and Its Implementation (2006)

TBandwidth on Demand (BOD) is the most typical service to show the characteristics and advantages of the Automatically Switched Optical Network (ASON). BOD enables the service provider to provide adequate bandwidth on user's demand. To implement the BOD service, Generic Frame Protocol (GFP) is adopted to map the data frame to Synchronous Digital Hierarchy (SDH) virtual container. Meanwhile, Virtual Concatenation (VC) and Link Capacity Adjustment Scheme (LCAS) are used to dynamically bind and adjust the bandwidth, to realize bandwidth lossless adjustment. Besides, by setting the automatic trigger conditions for bandwidth adjustment, the intelligent and automatic capabilities of ASON can be used to achieve dynamic bandwidth adjustment, thus providing users with quick and real-time BOD service.
The antimutagenic and anticarcinogenic effects of tea, garlic and other natural foods in China: a review. (1992)

It is well known that there are huge geographic variations in cancer rates in mainland China. For example, The National Cancer Control Office of the Ministry of Public Health (1979) reported that in the 1970s, cancer mortality rates for most cancers were found to be more than 20-fold greater in some counties in others (Table 1). Esophageal cancer rates for males are a few hundred fold greater in the highest county when compared with the lowest county. The mortality rate for all cancers combined for males is 21 fold greater in the county with the highest mortality than in the county with the lowest rate.
According to Doll and Peto (1981), about one third of human cancer death is avoidable by appropriate modification of the diet. Therefore, diet is very likely to have an important part in causing these huge geographic variations. The possible role of various mutagens and carcinogens (e.g. afiatoxin, N-nitroso compounds) in locally produced and consumed foods has been strongly suggested and widely acknowledged, although much more evidence would be required to confirm their actual functions in human cancer. On the other hand, there are a few reports stating that the human diet also contains powerful antimutagens and anticarcinogens (Ames, 1983). The possible role of these two types of substances in causing the huge geographic variation of cancer risks remains elusive and inadequately explored. In order to make better use of these natural anticarcinogens in cancer prevention, it is important to elucidate their effects and mechanisms. The purpose of this paper is to summarize the available information on the antimutagenic and anticarcinogenic effects of natural foods in the Chinese diet, excluding the effects of essential nutrients, e.g. dietary fibers, vitamins and minerals. Most of the literature cited in this review was published by Chinese scientists.

Effect of Application Height and Ground Speed on Spray Pattern and Droplet Spectra from Remotely Piloted Aerial Application Systems (2019)

The objectives of this study were to characterize the effects of operational factors on spray application parameters for remotely piloted aerial application systems (RPAAS). The effects of application height and ground speed on spray pattern uniformity and droplet spectra characteristics were investigated for two RPAAS (DJI model MG-1 and HSE V6A) delivery vehicles equipped with original equipment manufacturer (OEM) nozzles. A spray mixture of tap water and fluorescent dye was applied at three different application heights in conjunction with four different ground speeds over the center line of a cotton string, suspended 1 m above ground. Fluorometric assessment of spray deposits on cotton strings and spray droplets captured on water-sensitive paper samplers described spray pattern and droplet spectra, respectively. Effective swath was determined based on the widest spray swath with a coefficient of variation (CV) ≤ 25%. Regardless of ground speed, application heights of 2 and 3 m yielded the largest effective swath for the MG-1. Neither application height nor ground speed significantly influenced effective swath for the V6A. These test results may provide guidance to remote aerial applicators as to the best application height and ground speed to use for their RPAAS for efficacious application of pest control products.
Galenische Formgebung und Arzneimittelwirkung Neue Erkenntnisse und Feststellungen (1970)

‘Biopharmaceutics may be defined as the study of the influence of formulation on the therapeutic activity of a drug product. Or, it may be defined as the study of the relationship between some of the physical and chemical properties of the drug and its dosage forms and the biological effects observed following the administration of the drug in its various dosage forms… Biopharmaceutics encompasses the study of the relation between the nature and intensity of the biological effects observed in animals and man and the following factors:
Regulation of connective tissue growth factor expression by prostaglandin E<sub>2</sub> (1999)

Transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) stimulates alpha(1)(I) collagen mRNA synthesis in human lung fibroblasts through a mechanism that is partially sensitive to cycloheximide and that may involve synthesis of connective tissue growth factor (CTGF). Northern blot analyses indicate that TGF-beta stimulates time- and dose-dependent increases in CTGF mRNA. In TGF-beta-stimulated fibroblasts, maximal levels of CTGF mRNA (3.7-fold above baseline) occur at 6 h. The TGF-beta-stimulated increase in CTGF mRNA was not blocked by cycloheximide. Nuclear run-on analysis indicates that TGF-beta increases the CTGF transcription rate. The TGF-beta-stimulated increases in CTGF transcription and steady-state levels of CTGF mRNA are attenuated in prostaglandin E(2) (PGE(2))-treated fibroblasts. PGE(2) fails to attenuate luciferase activity induced by TGF-beta in fibroblasts transfected with the TGF-beta-responsive luciferase reporter construct p3TP-LUX. In amino acid-deprived fibroblasts, PGE(2) and insulin regulate alpha(1)(I) collagen mRNA levels without affecting CTGF mRNA levels. The data suggest that the regulation of alpha(1)(I) collagen mRNA levels by TGF-beta and PGE(2) may function through both CTGF-dependent and CTGF-independent mechanisms.
Modeling State Entropy of the EEG and Auditory Evoked Potentials - Hypnotic and Analgesic Interactions (2007)

Because of the complexity of raw electroencephalogram (EEG), for the anesthesiologist it is very difficult to evaluate the patient's hypnosis state. Because of this, several depth of anesthesia monitors have been developed, and are in current use at the operating room (OR). These monitors convert the information supplied by the EEG or derived signals into a simple, easy to understand index. Nowadays, general anesthesia is controlled only by the clinician, which decides what is the best drug combination for the patient, regarding all information given by monitors and sensors in the OR. In this work, we collected data from two study groups with auditory evoked potentials (AEP) monitoring, and Entropy (SE) monitoring. A model was fitted to the signals and the Hill equation parameters adjusted, in both study groups. The objective was to predict hypnosis indices, regarding only the drugs administered to a patient, and capture the initial individual patient characteristics that might influence the drugs interaction in the human body. Hypnotic and analgesic drugs interact in different ways throughout the anaesthesia stages. The models obtained captured the different dynamic interaction of drugs, during the induction and maintenance phases, demonstrating that the model must have incorporated all this information in order to perform satisfactorily. Other information like haemodynamic variables might be included in the search for the optimum model.
Polyclonal Expansion of Human CD4+CD25+ Regulatory T Cells (2010)

Based on results from experimental animal models, the adoptive transfer of CD4+CD25+FOXP3+ regulatory T cells (Treg) is expected to be efficacious in treating autoimmune and inflammatory diseases, as well as in preventing alloresponses after solid organ or stem-cell transplantation. For potential clinical applications, large numbers of Treg cells in maximum purity will be required to avoid the risk of disease exacerbation by contaminating effector T cells. We have recently described methods for the efficient in vitro expansion of human Treg cells and identified CD4+CD25highCD45RA+ T cells as the ideal starting population for the generation of homogeneous and stable Treg cell products. Here, we provide detailed instructions for their identification, isolation, expansion, and functional characterization.

Evaluación del profesorado: Reflexiones a tenor de una experiencia en la Universidad (1996)

Al ser el profesorado el elemento mas influyente en el proceso de ensenanza-aprendizaje y sus resultados, parece logico que no quede fuera de las acciones evaluativas. Sin embargo es esta una tarea problematica no solo por su complejidad tecnica, sino sobre todo por sus connotaciones eticas, sociales, profesionales y por sus posibles repercusiones politicas y sindicales. De ahi la importancia de conocer una experiencia de evaluacion del profesorado universitario y sus posibilidades de transferencia a otros niveles educativos.
A trimodal system for the acquisition of synchronous echocardiography, electrocardiography, and seismocardiography data (2011)

A novel system was developed to acquire synchronous echocardiography, electrocardiography (EKG), and seismocardiography (SCG) data. The system was developed to facilitate the study of the relationship between the mechanical and electrical characteristics of the heart. The system has both a hardware and software component. The hardware component consists of an application-specific device designed and built to acquire both SCG and EKG signals simultaneously. The software component consists of a package developed to record and synchronize data from both the device and a clinical ultrasound machine. A feasibility test was performed by simultaneous acquisition of a synchronous dataset from a human subject.

This work is expected to show better P/E, retention, and reliability characteristics than Toshiba's structure.
Posterior Beta and Anterior Gamma Oscillations Predict Cognitive Insight (2008)

Pioneering neuroimaging studies on insight have revealed neural correlates of the emotional "Aha!" component of the insight process, but neural substrates of the cognitive component, such as problem restructuring (a key to transformative reasoning), remain a mystery. Here, multivariate electroencephalogram signals were recorded from human participants while they solved verbal puzzles that could create a small-scale experience of cognitive insight. Individuals responded as soon as they reached a solution and provided a rating of subjective insight. For unsolved puzzles, hints were provided after 60 to 90 sec. Spatio-temporal signatures of brain oscillations were analyzed using Morlet wavelet transform followed by exploratory parallel-factor analysis. A consistent reduction in beta power (15-25 Hz) was found over the parieto-occipital and centro-temporal electrode regions on all four conditions-(a) correct (vs. incorrect) solutions, (b) solutions without (vs. with) external hint, (c) successful (vs. unsuccessful) utilization of the external hint, and d) self-reported high (vs. low) insight. Gamma band (30-70 Hz) power was increased in right fronto-central and frontal electrode regions for conditions (a) and (c). The effects occurred several (up to 8) seconds before the behavioral response. Our findings indicate that insight is represented by distinct spectral, spatial, and temporal patterns of neural activity related to presolution cognitive processes that are intrinsic to the problem itself but not exclusively to one's subjective assessment of insight.
