Binding of some polyhexamethylene biguanides to the cell envelope of Escherichia coli ATCC 8739. (1984)

Absorption and antibacterial action of some polyhexamethylene biguanides upon Escherichia coli has been investigated. An amine-ended-dimer (AED) (n = 2), a polydisperse mixture sold by ICI Limited as the active ingredient of vantocil IB (PHMB) (n = 5.5), and a high molecular weight fraction of PHMB (HMW, n greater than or equal to 10) were used. Bactericidal activity was determined over a range of pH (5-9). Similarly, adsorption of drug to the cell surface, indicated by changes in electrophoretic mobility, and overall drug absorption by the cells were determined. Maximal activity occurred at pH 6 for PHMB and HMW and at pH 5 for AED. This corresponded to minimal surface adsorption and maximal distribution of drug to the underlying cytoplasm and cytoplasmic membrane. Uptake of drug corresponded to high affinity isotherms and indicated a rapid transfer of biocide into the cells following their initial interaction at the surface.
Rivers of Story: Some Filmic Afterlives of Pericles (2018)

Some stories are like rivers, just as rivers hold their own stories. This essay considers origins and movie adaptations of Shakespeare's Pericles, tracking them into territory where the source play is one staging place for a longer narrative history, and the film need not acknowledge or show awareness of the play. Texts include the French movie, Paris nous appartient or Paris Belongs to Us (1961), the American A Love Song for Bobby Long (2004), and the Australian Aboriginal musical film Bran Nue Dae (2009).
InP Schottky-gate field-effect transistors (1975)

MESFET's with gates 1 µm long were fabricated in LPE layers of InP on Cr-doped InP substrates. The quality of the LPE material is characterized by an electron concentration of 4 × 10 <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">15</sup> cm <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">-3</sup> with a mobility of 2.6 × 10 <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">4</sup> cm <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">2</sup> V <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">-1</sup> s <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">-1</sup> at 77 K for growths from undoped melts. The devices have current gain cutoff frequencies of 20 GHZ or somewhat larger. This value is greater than that of the best analogous GaAs MESFET bya factor of 1.5. A factor of 1.3 is predicted on the basis of a simple theory. The highest power gain cutoff frequency, f <inf xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">max</inf> , for the InP device is 33 GHz which is somewhat smaller than that of the best analogous GaAs device. The lowest minimum noise figure at 10 GHz for these first InP devices is 3.9 dB with an associated gain of 4.8 dB. The best result for the GaAs counterpart is 3.2 dB with an associated gain of 7.8 dB. The power gain of the InP device suffers compared to the GaAs device because of degenerative feedback resulting from a large gate-to-drain capacitance and because of a small output resistance. If the magnitudes of these two equivalent circuit elements were the same for MESFET's in the two materials, f <inf xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">max</inf> for the InP device would be more than double its present value.

Silicon processing: from quartz to crystalline silicon solar cells (2011)

Silicon has been the dominant material in the photovoltaic (PV) industry since its application in the space industry in 1958. This review focuses on crystalline silicon solar cells, primarily due to their dominance in the photovoltaic industry, omitting other photovoltaic cell technologies such as second generation (e.g. thin films) and third generation (e.g. nano-structured solar cells). The value chain for the production of crystalline silicon solar cells has been reviewed. The primary processing steps for the production of silicon solar cells from quartz are as follows: bulk production of metallurgical -grade silicon via carbothermic reduction in a submerged furnace, refining of metallurgical -grade silicon via the chemical means to polycrystalline silicon, or through the metallurgical route to solar-grade silicon, wafer manufacturing, and, lastly, silicon solar cell manufacturing. During downstream processing, solar cells are interconnected and encapsulated into solar modules (panels), which can be used individually or incorporated into a photovoltaic system for electricity generation and supply. The cost for crystalline silicon based solar cells is approaching one US dollar per watt peak ($1/Wp), while the most cost-effective solar modules in industry have reported costs below $1/Wp, and are based on CdTe thin films. Solar cell energy conversion efficiencies as high as 22% have been reported in industry for crystalline silicon solar cells.

Inhibition of Lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-lnduced Endothelial Cytotoxicity by Selected Flavonoids (1998)

The cytotoxic effect of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) was examined on bovine aortic endothelial cell proliferation in vitro. This LPS-induced cytotoxicity (IC50 = 22 ng/ml) was attenuated by selected flavonoids, such as catechin, myricetin, quercetin, hesperitin, and rutin. No inhibitory effect was induced by flavones, morin, kaempferol, chrysin and naringin. The isoflavone genistein, and the synthetic tyrphostin B46, both known inhibitors of tyrosine kinases, also attenuated the toxic LPS effect. The hypothesis was framed that the inhibition of LPS-induced cytotoxicity in bovine aortic endothelial cell cultures by flavonoids could be mediated via inhibition of specific tyrosine kinases.
Monoclonal antibody (UCHL1) that recognises normal and neoplastic T cells in routinely fixed tissues. (1986)

UCHL1 is a murine monoclonal antibody that recognises a 180-185 kD determinant on CD4 (72%) and CD8 (36%) positive T cells. This antibody is effective in formalin fixed and paraffin embedded tissues, using the immunoperoxidase method. One hundred and forty three cases of malignant lymphoma were examined. Neoplastic cells in 100% of cases of Mycosis fungoides (n = 10), 83% of cases of peripheral T cell lymphoma (n = 25), and 78% of cases of (T-ALL) T acute lymphoblastic lymphoma (n = 9) were stained by this antibody. In addition, staining was seen in 100% of cases of malignant histiocytosis of the intestine (n = 13), a condition now thought to be a T cell lymphoma. Two cases of true histiocytic lymphoma were also positive. This antibody stained neither the neoplastic cells in a wide range of B cell lymphomas (n = 62) nor Reed-Sternberg cells in 16 cases of Hodgkin's disease. UCHL1 also stained neoplastic cells in four cases of granulocytic sarcoma. A panel of normal tissues was similarly studied. Staining was seen in normal T cells and mucosal intraepithelial lymphocytes, macrophages, mature myeloid cells, and endometrial stromal granulocytes. UCHL1 is a monoclonal antibody that identifies T cells in formalin fixed paraffin embedded tissues, and should prove useful for diagnosing T cell lymphomas, especially when only formalin fixed tissue is available for diagnosis.
Gender Differences in Current Received during Transcranial Electrical Stimulation (2014)

Low current transcranial electrical stimulation (tCS) is an effective but somewhat inconsistent tool for augmenting neuromodulation. In this study, we used 3D MRI guided electrical transcranial stimulation modeling to estimate the range of current intensities received at cortical brain tissues. Combined T1, T2, and proton density MRIs from 24 adult subjects (12 male and 12 female) were modeled with virtual electrodes placed at F3, F4, C3, and C4. Two sizes of electrodes 20 mm round and 50 mm × 45 mm were examined at 0.5, 1, and 2 mA input currents. The intensity of current received was sampled in a 1-cm sphere placed at the cortex directly under each scalp electrode. There was a 10-fold difference in the amount of current received by individuals. A large gender difference was observed with female subjects receiving significantly less current at targeted parietal cortex than male subjects when stimulated at identical current levels (P < 0.05). Larger electrodes delivered somewhat larger amounts of current than the smaller ones (P < 0.01). Electrodes in the frontal regions delivered less current than those in the parietal region (P < 0.05). There were large individual differences in current levels that the subjects received. Analysis of the cranial bone showed that the gender difference and the frontal parietal differences are due to differences in cranial bone. Males have more cancelous parietal bone and females more dense parietal bone (P < 0.01). These differences should be considered when planning tCS studies and call into question earlier reports of gender differences due to hormonal influences.
A MODEL OF GROWTH AND GROWTH CONTROL IN MATHEMATICAL TERMS (1957)

A PRACTICABLE MODEL OF THE GROWTH PROCESS, WHICH GIVES BETTER DEFINITION TO THE PROBLEM OF GROWTH AND GROWTH REGULATION AND GREATER PRECISION TO RELATED EXPERIMENTAL WORK THAN DO EARLIER MODELS, IS DEVELOPED ON THE BASIS OF THE FOLLOWING ASSUMPTIONS: "Growth" is the net balance of mass produced and retained over mass destroyed and otherwise lost, implying continual metabolic degradation and replacement. Terminal size represents stationary equilibrium between incremental and decremental components. The mass of an organic system consists of two functionally different components,-generative and differentiated. Generative mass increases by the catalytic action of key compounds ("templates") characteristic of each cell type. Each cell also produces specific freely diffusible compounds antagonistic to these templates ("antitemplates"). Growth regulation occurs automatically by a negative "feedback" in which increasing numbers of antitemplates progressively block the corresponding templates. Differential equations expressing these interrelationships are formulated, integrated, and the solutions evaluated for the case of chick growth. These specific solutions lead to descriptions of the normal growth of a biological system which are in good agreement with known facts, and to predictions of the course of automatic growth regulations after experimental or pathological disturbances which reproduce adequately biological observations in this domain.
Current Status of Targeted Therapy for Advanced Renal Cell Carcinoma (2012)

The treatment of metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC) has recently evolved from being predominantly cytokine-based treatment to the use of targeted agents, which include sorafenib, sunitinib, bevacizumab (plus interferon alpha [IFN-α]), temsirolimus, everolimus, pazopanib, and most recently, axitinib. Improved understanding of the molecular pathways implicated in the pathogenesis of RCC has led to the development of specific targeted therapies for treating the disease. In Korea, it has been 5 years since targeted therapy became available for mRCC. Thus, we now have broader and better therapeutic options at hand, leading to a significantly improved prognosis for patients with mRCC. However, the treatment of mRCC remains a challenge and a major health problem. Many questions remain on the efficacy of combination treatments and on the best methods for achieving complete remission. Additional studies are needed to optimize the use of these agents by identifying those patients who would most benefit and by elucidating the best means of delivering these agents, either in combination or as sequential single agents. Furthermore, numerous ongoing research activities aim at improving the benefits of the new compounds in the metastatic situation or their application in the early phase of the disease. This review introduces what is currently known regarding the fundamental biology that underlies clear cell RCC, summarizes the clinical evidence supporting the benefits of targeted agents in mRCC treatment, discusses survival endpoints used in pivotal clinical trials, and outlines future research directions.
Ruggedness analysis of 600V 4H-SiC JBS diodes under repetitive avalanche conditions (2012)

The repetitive avalanche reliability of power rectifiers is crucial to the safe operation of the hard switching power converters under extreme conditions as well as transient voltage suppression (TVS) applications. In this paper, the ruggedness of two state-of-art 4H-SiC Junction Barrier Schottky (JBS) diodes under repetitive avalanche stresses has been studied. Two different post-stress behaviors have been observed: V <sub xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">F</sub> degradation and BV drifting for the two different JBS diodes. The V <sub xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">F</sub> degradation could happen to the device that avalanches in the active area. However, for the device that avalanches in the edge termination, the repetitive avalanche stress greatly increases the breakdown voltage for about 100V. These results bring new concerns for SiC devices that are expected to be operated in avalanche conditions.
Ultrasonic therapy for psoriasis (1995)

Ultrasound waves are routinely used in various fields of medicine. Ultrasonic cleaning involves the therapeutic application of ultrasound via an aqueous medium. Low frequency ultrasonic debridement and cleaning may be beneficial in the treatment of chronic plaque psoriasis. The mechanism of action is unclear, but may be related to the stable cavitational effects induced by ultrasonic energy.
Industry (1975)

The manufacture of iron in the early eighteenth century was a long and expensive business involving several separate processes. Iron ore was smelted in the blast furnace using charcoal as fuel. Some iron goods could be cast directly from the blast furnace (cast iron), but most of the iron from the blast furnace was run off into sand moulds as pig iron for further treatment. Pig iron contained some impurities, and its brittleness made it valueless for most purposes. The impurities were therefore removed in the forge, where repeated hammering and re-heating in charcoal fires removed the impurities and produced bar iron, pliable and tough, from which the whole range of ironware could be made.
Development and Psychometric Properties of an Assessment for Persons With Intellectual Disability—The interRAI ID (2007)

Abstract This paper describes the development of the interRAI‐Intellectual Disability (interRAI ID), a comprehensive instrument that assesses all key domains of interest to service providers relative to a person with an intellectual disability (ID). The authors report on the reliability and validity of embedded scales for cognition, self‐care, aggression, and depression. Four provider agencies volunteered to participate and assessed a total of 160 community‐dwelling adults with ID using the interRAI ID, Dementia Questionnaire for Persons with Mental Retardation, and Reiss Screen for Maladaptive Behavior. All scales had acceptable levels of internal consistency (Cronbach’s alpha 0.74–0.93) and good relationships with the criterion measures ( r = 0.50–0.93, p < 0.0001). The development of the interRAI ID represents an important and successful first step toward an integrated, comprehensive, and standardized assessment of adults with ID. Use of this instrument may lead to more appropriate support planning, enhanced communication between various professionals supporting persons with ID, and a more seamless approach to supports across the health and social service systems.

Conflict-Free Replicated Data Types in Dynamic Environments (2019)

Over the years, mobile devices have become increasingly popular and gained improved computation capabilities allowing them to perform more complex tasks such as collaborative applications. Given the weak characteristic properties of mobile networks, which represent highly dynamic environments where users may experience regular involuntary disconnection periods, the big question arises of how to maintain data consistency. This issue is most pronounced in collaborative environments where multiple users interact with each other, sharing a replicated state that may diverge due to concurrency conflicts and loss of updates. To maintain consistency, one of today’s best solutions is Conflict-Free Replicated Data Types (CRDTs), which ensure low latency values and automatic conflict resolution, guaranteeing eventual consistency of the shared data. However, a limitation often found on CRDTs and the systems that employ them is the need for the knowledge of the replicas whom the state changes must be disseminated to. This constitutes a problem since it is inconceivable to maintain said knowledge in an environment where clients may leave and join at any given time and consequently get disconnected due to mobile network communications unreliability. In this thesis, we present the study and extension of the CRDT concept to dynamic environments by introducing the developed P/S-CRDTs model, where CRDTs are coupled with the publisher/subscriber interaction scheme and additional mechanisms to ensure users are able to cooperate and maintain consistency whilst accounting for the consequent volatile behaviors of mobile networks. The experimental results show that in volatile scenarios of disconnection, mobile users in collaborative activity maintain consistency among themselves and when compared to other available CRDT models, the P/S-CRDTs model is able to decouple the required knowledge of whom the updates must be disseminated to, while ensuring appropriate network traffic values.
Creating interactive 3D media with projector-camera systems (2004)

This paper presents a practical framework for creating and visualizing interactive 3-D media using a system of uncalibrated projector-cameras. The proposed solution uses light patterns that temporally encode the projector’s coordinate system to solve the traditionally challenging multiframe correspondence problem by straightforward decoding instead of computational multiframe optimization. Two sets of coded light patterns (black/white stripes and colored 2x2 blocks, both of varying spatial resolutions) are presented and compared. The resulting correspondences are directly used as a compelling form of interactive 3-D media through described techniques including three-frame view synthesis, multiframe view synthesis using multiple three-frame groupings, and even single-camera view interpolation. It is shown that adapting the rendering order of the correspondences with respect to the projector’s coordinate system ensures the correct visibility for the synthesized views. Experimental results demonstrate that the framework works well for various real-world scenes, even including those with multiple objects and textured surfaces. The framework, along with the resulting correspondences, also has implications in many other computer vision and image processing applications, especially those that require multiframe correspondences.
STUDIES ON THE MECHANISM OF ACETATE OXIDATION BY BACTERIA (1951)

1. Simultaneous oxidation of C(14)-methyl-labeled acetate, and unlabeled malate or fumarate and alpha-ketoglutarate results in entrapment of labeled carbon in the C(4)-dicarboxylic acids, but not in alpha-ketoglutarate, although all substrates are utilized at comparable rates. 2. A large endogenous reduction of all C(4)-dicarboxylic acids (fumarate, oxalacetate, and malate) to succinate is observed under aerobic conditions, and when vigorous oxidation is proceeding. This effect occurs with both freshly harvested young (18 hour) cells and stored (2 week) cells. 3. This reduction can be considerably minimized under high oxygen tensions. 4. The quantitative concordance of these results with a Thunberg-Knoop cyclic mechanism for acetate oxidation is shown. Possible alternative C(4) products formed prior to succinate are not completely excluded, but it appears that the cells can utilize the succinate condensation as a major pathway in acetate oxidation.
