Contact Metamorphism of Serpentinite, Chloritic Blackwall and Rodingite at Paddy-Go-Easy Pass, Central Cascades, Washington (1975)

The 2 km wide contact aureole produced from serpentinite by the intrusion of the Mount Stuart Batholith into the Ingalls Complex at Paddy-Go-Easy Pass contains the following ultramafic assemblages, in order of increasing grade: serpentine-forsterite-diopside, serpentine-forsterite-tremolite, forsterite-talc, forsterite-anthophyllite, forsterite-enstatite-anthophyllite, forsterite-enstatite-chlorite, forsterite-enstatite-spinel. Associated metarodingites display five metamorphic zones, the diagnostic assemblages of which are, in increasing grade: grossular-idocrase-chlorite, grossular-diopside-chlorite, epidote-diopside-chlorite, epidotediopside-spinel, plagioclase-grossular-diopside. Mafic hornfels in the aureole contains no orthopyroxene, indicating that the conditions of pyroxene hornfels facies were not reached. The breakdown of chlorite is best displayed in aluminous blackwall reaction zones around mafic inclusions in the peridotite. At temperatures above those of the anthophyllite-out isograd, but within the field of forsterite+tremolite, these chlorite-rich rocks react to form the assemblage: forsterite-enstatite-spinel. Calculations show that cordierite did not form as a result of chlorite breakdown in the natural system because impurities, such as iron and chromium, displaced the equilibrium: forsterite+cordierite = enstatite+spinel to much lower pressures than the three kilobars found in the pure system. The primary chromite of the peridotite has been altered to chrome-magnetite in the serpentinite. This alteration seems to be isochemical over the whole rock, as true chromite, formed by metamorphism, occurs at grades above that of the forsterite-enstatite-anthophyllite assemblage. Calcic amphibole in high-grade metaperidotite is tremolite, even in the presence of aluminous chromite, whereas that in metamorphosed blackwall rock grades from tremolite into hornblende. The pattern of substitution appears to be: Mg2Si3rlhar2;(Na,K)(AlVI)2(AlIV)3.

Animal Models for imaging (2002)

Animal models can be used in the study of disease. This chapter discusses imaging animal models to elucidate the process of human disease. The mouse is used as the primary model. Though this choice simplifies many research choices, it necessitates compromises for in vivo imaging. In the future, we can expect improvements in both animal models and imaging techniques.
The XML interoperability and the Polish Energy Market needs (2006)

There are only a few months from the Polish Energy Market openning.This subject, especially in the face of the last political confusion about the natural gas delivery has been a topic of many publications and speeches of politicians during the last months.But, besides this medial outcry, well working and flexible Polish Energy Market, as it is planned, is a very complex problem to solve, and there are many tasks to be done before the 1 July 2007 [1].In this work the author focuses on the aspects of information flow coordination between the end-users (consumers of energy) and other participants (generators, transmitters, wholesale resellers -the players) of the Polish Energy System.In this article there will be described a concept of two direct electronic data exchange between the energy measure unit located at let's say "Kowalsky's" house, and any other computer systems of the player.
Dendritic Kv3.3 Potassium Channels in Cerebellar Purkinje Cells Regulate Generation and Spatial Dynamics of Dendritic Ca<sup>2+</sup>Spikes (2010)

Purkinje cell dendrites are excitable structures with intrinsic and synaptic conductances contributing to the generation and propagation of electrical activity. Voltage-gated potassium channel subunit Kv3.3 is expressed in the distal dendrites of Purkinje cells. However, the functional relevance of this dendritic distribution is not understood. Moreover, mutations in Kv3.3 cause movement disorders in mice and cerebellar atrophy and ataxia in humans, emphasizing the importance of understanding the role of these channels. In this study, we explore functional implications of this dendritic channel expression and compare Purkinje cell dendritic excitability in wild-type and Kv3.3 knockout mice. We demonstrate enhanced excitability of Purkinje cell dendrites in Kv3.3 knockout mice, despite normal resting membrane properties. Combined data from local application pharmacology, voltage clamp analysis of ionic currents, and assessment of dendritic Ca(2+) spike threshold in Purkinje cells suggest a role for Kv3.3 channels in opposing Ca(2+) spike initiation. To study the physiological relevance of altered dendritic excitability, we measured [Ca(2+)](i) changes throughout the dendritic tree in response to climbing fiber activation. Ca(2+) signals were specifically enhanced in distal dendrites of Kv3.3 knockout Purkinje cells, suggesting a role for dendritic Kv3.3 channels in regulating propagation of electrical activity and Ca(2+) influx in distal dendrites. These findings characterize unique roles of Kv3.3 channels in dendrites, with implications for synaptic integration, plasticity, and human disease.
Water Distribution Under Sprinkler Irrigation (1968)

WATER is being applied to millions
of acres of irrigated lands by many
types of sprinkler and surface-irrigation
systems. Uniform water distribution by
these systems is necessary to maximize
crop yield and quality. Also, uniform
water distribution is necessary for more
efficient use of the available irrigation-water
supplies. For these reasons, improvement
in water distribution by both
sprinkler and surface irrigation systems
is very important to irrigated agriculture.
Evaluation of physical therapy in parkinsonian patients with freezing of gait: a pilot study (2006)

We showed the potential short-term efficacy of a rehabilitative approach to freezing of gait in Parkinson's disease. The positive outcome was documented by clinical rating scales and objective gait evaluation. The rapid reversibility of the clinical benefit suggests that further studies are needed to better define the optimal frequency and duration of treatment.
Device-to-Device Communications in LTE-Advanced Network (2013)

Device-to-device (D2D) communication is a promising new feature in LTE-Advanced networks. It is brought up to enable efficient discovery and communication between proximate devices. With D2D capability, devices in physical proximity could be able to discover each other using LTE radio technology and to communicate with each other via a direct data path. This thesis is concerned with the design, coordination and testing of a hybrid D2D and cellular network. Design requirements and choices in physical and MAC layer functions to support D2D discovery and communication underlaying LTE networks are analyzed. In addition, a centralized scheduling strategy in base station is proposed to coordinate D2D data communication operating in LTE spectrum. The scheduling strategy combines multiple techniques, including mode selection, resource and power allocation, to jointly achieve an overall user performance improvement in a cell. Finally the performances of D2D data communication underlaying LTE system are calibrated in a multi-link scenario via system-level simulation.
Expression of N-WASP is regulated by HiF1α through the hypoxia response element in the N-WASP promoter (2016)

Cancer cell migration and invasion involves temporal and spatial regulation of actin cytoskeleton reorganization, which is regulated by the WASP family of proteins such as N-WASP (Neural- Wiskott Aldrich Syndrome Protein). We have previously shown that expression of N-WASP was increased under hypoxic conditions. In order to characterize the regulation of N-WASP expression, we constructed an N-WASP promoter driven GFP reporter construct, N-WASP<sup>pro</sup>-GFP. Transfection of N-WASP<sup>pro</sup>-GFP construct and plasmid expressing HiF1α (Hypoxia Inducible factor 1α) enhanced the expression of GFP suggesting that increased expression of N-WASP under hypoxic conditions is mediated by HiF1α. Sequence analysis of the N-WASP promoter revealed the presence of two hypoxia response elements (HREs) characterized by the consensus sequence 5'-GCGTG-3' at -132 bp(HRE1) and at -662 bp(HRE2) relative to transcription start site (TSS). Site-directed mutagenesis of HRE1(-132) but not HRE2(-662) abolished the HiF1α induced activation of N-WASP promoter. Similarly ChIP assay demonstrated that HiF1α bound to HRE1(-132) but not HRE2(-662) under hypoxic condition. MDA-MB-231 cells but not MDA-MB-231<sup>KD</sup> cells treated with hypoxia mimicking agent, DMOG showed enhanced gelatin degradation. Similarly MDA-MB-231<sup>KD</sup>(N-WASP<sup>pro</sup>-N-WASP<sup>R</sup>) cells expressing N-WASP<sup>R</sup> under the transcriptional regulation of WT N-WASP<sup>pro</sup> but not MDA-MB-231<sup>KD</sup>(N-WASP<sup>proHRE1</sup>-N-WASP<sup>R</sup>) cells expressing N-WASP<sup>R</sup> under the transcriptional regulation of N-WASP<sup>proHRE1</sup> showed enhanced gelatin degradation when treated with DMOG. Thus indicating the importance of N-WASP in hypoxia induced invadopodia formation. Thus, our data demonstrates that hypoxia-induced activation of N-WASP expression is mediated by interaction of HiF1α with the HRE1(-132) and explains the role of N-WASP in hypoxia induced invadopodia formation.

Paints, Varnishes, and Related Products (2005)

Abstract The complex and diversified requirements of modern industry have to a large extent removed the manufacture of paints and varnishes from the category of an art to that of a science. In most plants, the manufacturing processes are now carried out under careful laboratory control and are freely modified or revised, whenever revision is indicated, in accordance with known scientific principles. As a result, the industry has been able to offer a succession of constantly improved products through periods of fluctuation in the availability of many important raw materials, pressures for solvent replacement to meet emerging air quality standards, and extensive pigment reformulation to replace mercury and lead to conform to new federal regulations on toxicity. A most important development in the modern paint and varnish industry has been the introduction of synthetic resins as replacements for natural resins in the manufacture of varnishes and enamels. By using synthetic resins it has been possible to produce a variety of coatings that, in many cases, have important points of superiority over any of those compounded from natural resins. The synthetic vehicles are particularly distinguished by their hardness and durability and their high degree of resistance to the action of water, alkalies, and other chemical agents.

A unified mechanism for the nuclease and unwinding activities of the recBC enzyme of Escherichia coli. (1982)

Using a gentle method to prepare complexes of duplex DNA and the recBC enzyme for electron microscopy, structures not seen previously were observed to be associated with the double strand DNA exonuclease activity of the enzyme. These were terminal forms and loop + tail(s) structures. Both individual terminal single-stranded tails and single-stranded regions within duplexes were also observed. Observation of the terminal single-stranded structures present after various reaction conditions and after various potentially disruptive treatments helped to identify those structures which might represent true reaction intermediates. Based on these results and those of previous studies, a modified model for the mechanism of recBC enzyme action on double-stranded, linear DNA is proposed.
Remission and platelet responses with romiplostim in primary immune thrombocytopenia: final results from a phase 2 study (2015)

In anecdotal reports, some patients with immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) maintained platelet counts after discontinuing romiplostim. Here, we examined rates of platelet response (≥50 × 10(9) /l), remission, splenectomy and adverse events in patients with primary ITP duration ≤6 months who were treated with romiplostim for ≤12 months. The starting dose of romiplostim was 1 μg/kg; concomitant and rescue treatments were permitted to maintain platelet counts. Patients with platelet counts ≥50 × 10(9) /l at the end of 12 months entered a dose taper in which the romiplostim dose was decreased as long as platelet counts were maintained. Remission (platelet count ≥50 × 10(9) /l for 24 consecutive weeks with no ITP treatments) was evaluated in patients once romiplostim was discontinued. Over the 12 months, a high response rate (>90%) was observed. Platelet response occurred quickly (median, ~2 weeks) and was observed for a cumulative median of 11 months. Remission was observed in 24 patients (32%); there were no significantly predictors of remission. Most (20/24) patients had remission start before the forced taper. No new safety signals were identified. Thus, in patients with early-stage ITP, romiplostim was well tolerated and induced rapid responses, with remission occurring in approximately one-third of patients (NCT01143038, Amgen 20080435).
Analysis of fiber interferometer utilizing 3 × 3 fiber coupler (1982)

An analysis of the properties of the 3 × 3 fiber coupler is made. The analysis reveals that four parameters are required to characterize the power transfer properties of this type of coupler. The performance of a fiber interferometer is analyzed in terms of these four parameters.
The Hippo pathway regulates intestinal stem cell proliferation during<i>Drosophila</i>adult midgut regeneration (2010)

Intestinal stem cells (ISCs) in the adult Drosophila midgut proliferate to self-renew and to produce differentiating daughter cells that replace those lost as part of normal gut function. Intestinal stress induces the activation of Upd/Jak/Stat signalling, which promotes intestinal regeneration by inducing rapid stem cell proliferation. We have investigated the role of the Hippo (Hpo) pathway in the Drosophila intestine (midgut). Hpo pathway inactivation in either the ISCs or the differentiated enterocytes induces a phenotype similar to that observed under stress situations, including increased stem cell proliferation and expression of Jak/Stat pathway ligands. Hpo pathway targets are induced by stresses such as bacterial infection, suggesting that the Hpo pathway functions as a sensor of cellular stress in the differentiated cells of the midgut. In addition, Yki, the pro-growth transcription factor target of the Hpo pathway, is required in ISCs to drive the proliferative response to stress. Our results suggest that the Hpo pathway is a mediator of the regenerative response in the Drosophila midgut.
A Role-Based Ecology of Technological Change (1995)

This article considers what factors determine whether an innovation becomes a foundation for future technological developments rather than a "dea end." The authors introduce the concept of the technological niche, which includes a focal innovation, the innovations on which the focal innovations builds, the innovations that build upon the focal innovation, and the technological ties among the innovations within the niche. Using patents and patent citations to measure characteristics of innovation niches within the semiconductor industry, the authors show that the size of the niche and the status of the actors within the niche have a positive effect on the likelihood that subsequent innovations will build upon the focal innovation. Competitive intensity within the niche has a negative effect on this likelihood.
Linear Retro-Directive Antenna Array Using 90<formula formulatype="inline"><tex>$^{\circ}$</tex></formula> Hybrids (2008)

A novel approach is developed to design linear passive retro-directive antenna arrays by properly making use of 90deg hybrids. For a 90deg hybrid, when its direct port and coupled port are terminated with the same reflection coefficient, the phase difference of the reflected signals at the other two ports are reversed to that of the incident signals. This then becomes to be a phase difference reversal circuit (or a retro-directive circuit) and leads to the design of linear retro-directive antenna arrays using 90deg hybrids. The formulas and a folding method on designing linear retro-directive array circuits with arbitrary element numbers are presented with the measurement results of three-element, four-element, and six-element retro-directive antenna arrays.
Kinetics of Fe<sup>2+</sup>oxidation in down flow packed bed fixed film reactors (1992)

Abstract Thiobacillus ferrooxidans was immobilised on granular activated carbon and granular charcoal as supporting matrix in packed bed reactor for oxidation of ferrous sulphate to ferric sulphate. Both the material displayed favourable organisms hold up and immobilisation characteristics with the efficiency of ferrous oxidation around 99 per cent. However granular charcoal would be a preferable medium for immobilization as it is more economical compared to the granular activated carbon. These systems were operated at pH range of 2 to 2.5 in order to minimise the ferric iron precipitation. The kinetic studies have shown that the activated charcoal reactor can be operated at 40 g of Fe2+/1/hr with Ks of 0.293 g/l. SEM studies of the support matrices showed profuse growth of the bacterial film on the surfaces. In addition to attached growth, the bioreactors also supported dispersed growth of bacteria in the surface opening and interstices.
Characterization of a metalloprotease from psychrophilic Xanthomonas maltophilia (1991)

An extracellular protease from psychrophilic Xanthomonas maltophilia isolated from alpine environment was purified and characterized. In spite of a comparable growth at 10°C and 20°C, protease excretion occured only at 10°C. The enzyme was a 21-kDa protein with an isoelectric point higher than 9.5. The optimum pH and temperature for azocaseinolytic activity were 8.0 and 50°C respectively. The enzyme was stable up to 40°C but became inactive after 10 min at 60°C. The energy of activation was comparable to that of enzymes from mesophilic sources. Sensitivity to EDTA indicates that X. maltophilia protease is a metalloprotease.
The Wettability of Ethyl- and Vinyltriethoxysilane Films Formed at Organic Liquid Silica Interfaces (1968)

Adsorbed films of ethyltriethoxysilane and vinyltriethoxysilane were formed on silica and alumina by retraction from hydrocarbon solution and their wettabilities and water-stabilities determined. The vinyltriethoxysilane films were generally more oleophobic, more hydrophobic and more resistant to contact with water than the films formed by the ethyl analog. Neither adsorbate formed stable films on α-alumina. The addition of low molecular weight organic acids or bases to the adsorbate solution resulted in both the ethyl and vinyl compound forming hydrophobic and water-stable films on silica and α-alumina. Films of p-chlorophenyl-β-ethyltrichloro, -trimethoxy, and -triethoxysilane were also studied and found to be water-stable and to have wettabilities characteristic of a surface comprised of closely-spaced p-chlorophenyl groups.

Using Van Vechten's theory, the displacement energy for Ga in GaN is calculated to be 25.5 eV. This relatively high energy makes it possible to adapt the indirect doping technique on GaN crystal growth, in order to obtain $p$-type GaN.
Possible association of radioprotective and chemoprotective aminophosphorothioate drug activity with polyamine oxidase susceptibility. [Human lymphocytes] (1982)

The aminophosphorothioate drug S-2-(3-aminopropylamino)ethylphosphorothioate (WR-2721) is both radioprotective and chemoprotective, with potential clinical use in cancer therapies. These distinct properties may be associated with its catabolism by polyamine oxidase (EC 1.4.3.4), which is found in varying amounts in different body tissues. Unfortunately, the metabolite is probably a cytotoxic aldehyde, but it should be detoxified in vivo following adduction with tissue sulfhydryls. Whether conversion and adduction benefit or hinder pharmacologic activity is not known, inasmuch as aldehydes may reduce oxygen-dependent free radicals generated by irradiation of tissues. S-2-(3-aminopropylamino)propylphosphorothioate was similarly a substrate for polyamine oxidase, and the product was cytotoxic. Other aminophosphorothioates (S-2-(4-aminobutaneamino)ethylphosphorothioate, S-2-(5-aminopentylamino)ethylphosphorothioate, and S-2-(4-aminobutaneamino)propylphosphorothioate) were poor substrates and less radioprotective.
