Persantine Attenuates Hemorrhagic Shock-Induced P-Selectin Expression (2000)

Ischemia/reperfusion (I/R), a phenomenon that is associated with conditions such as organ transplantation, trauma, vascular disease, and stroke, involves the recruitment of activated and adherent leukocytes that subsequently mediate tissue injury. Endothelial cell adhesion molecules such as P-selectin mediate I/R-induced leukocyte recruitment and allow the adherent leukocytes to damage the vascular wall and parenchymal cells. This study examines the influence of dypiridamole (persantine) on hemorrhagic shock (H/S)-induced P-selectin expression. H/S was induced in C57BL/6 mice by withdrawing blood to drop the mean arterial blood pressure to 30 to 35 mm Hg for 45 minutes. The mice were resuscitated by infusing the shed blood and Ringer's lactate (50% shed blood volume). In vivo P-selectin expression was determined using a dual monoclonal antibody technique in the heart, lung, liver, kidneys, stomach, small bowel, and colon of a control group, a hemorrhagic shock group, and a hemorrhagic shock group that was pretreated with Persantine (Boehringer, Ingelheim, Ingelheim, Germany). H/S significantly ( P < 0.01) increased P-selectin expression in all regional vascular beds of untreated mice. Persantine treatment largely prevented the H/S-induced P-selectin expression in the same vascular beds. Persantine significantly attenuates the upregulation of P-selectin in the hemorrhagic shock model.
An adaptive ISFET chemical imager chip (2008)

A CMOS based ion sensitive chemical imager chip is presented for real time spatio- temporal monitoring of chemical activity. Ion-sensitive field effect transistors (ISFETs) implemented on an unmodified process (AMS 0.35 um) are used as the chemical input to the analogue circuits. A 3 x 11 array has been designed and fabricated for monitoring applications such as cell metabolism and growth. Chemical sensor information is encoded using integrate and fire neurons with address event representation (AER) used to fan out the data. Global adaptive biasing of pixels is used to conserve power and allow automatic functionality in changing buffer concentrations.

Enhanced absorption and ASE pedestal suppression in the generation of ultrashort-pulse solid-density plasmas (1990)

Grating targets and self-induced plasma shuttering are demonstrated experimentally to dramatically increase laser absorption and ASE prepulse immunity in high-density, ultrashort pulse plasmas.
Regulation of α-Factor Production in <i>Saccharomyces cerevisiae: α-</i>Factor Pheromone-Induced Expression of the <i>MFα1</i> and <i>STE13</i> Genes (1989)

Production of the mating pheromone alpha-factor was examined in Saccharomyces cerevisiae MAT alpha cells that had been exposed to the mating pheromone a-factor. A 2-h treatment with a-factor caused a significant increase in alpha-factor concentration in the medium as demonstrated by a halo assay. MF alpha 1 is one of the two genes coding for a precursor of alpha-factor. A Northern (RNA) analysis of total RNA from a-factor-treated MAT alpha cells revealed a rapid two- to threefold increase in MF alpha 1 transcript levels, reaching maximum within 60 min of exposure to the pheromone. Pheromone induction did not require ongoing protein synthesis. a-Factor-induced MF alpha 1 expression was quantitated by analysis of an MF alpha 1::SUC2 fusion gene whose product was assayed for invertase activity. Expression of the MF alpha 1::SUC2 gene in MAT alpha cells responded to the a-factor signal like the chromosomal version of MF alpha 1. Maturation of the alpha-factor precursor involves three proteolytic activities which are encoded by the KEX1, KEX2, and STE13 genes, respectively. Two of these genes, namely, KEX2 and STE13, were examined for pheromone-induced expression. Only the STE13 gene exhibited pheromone induction at the transcriptional level.
SOLID‐PHASE SYNTHESIS OF LOCUST ADIPOKINETIC HORMONE (1981)

The synthesis of locust adipokinetic hormone by the solid‐phase method is described. The synthetic product has been shown by bioassay to possess lipid‐mobilizing activity identical to that of the natural hormone.
MODELING OF STRONGLY EXOTHERMIC REACTION ON A SUPERCOMPUTER (1987)

In this work, we review the status of numerical methods used for solution of partial differential equations, describing heat and mass transfer and a strong exothermic reaction, using vector computers. A discussion of relevant aspects of simulation such as generating adaptive meshes and integrating stiff differential equations is included. The goal of the paper is to illustrate attractive ways of modeling combustion problems on a supercomputer. Four examples, “solid-solid” combustion, “gas-gas” combustion, exothermic reaction with gas filtration and free convection with exothermic reaction, are presented.
Microporous Vanadium Pentaoxide. 1. Vanadyl Isopropoxide in Microemulsions (1997)

Vanadium pentaoxide nanoparticles can be made by adding vanadyl isopropoxide to water contained in a reverse microemulsion of Aerosol OT in toluene. First-order rate constants of this process are on the order of 40 s-1, as measured using a stopped flow reactor. These rate constants are directly proportional to the water concentration and inversely related to the surfactant concentration. While this behavior is inconsistent with earlier theories for reactions in dilute detergent solutions, it is consistent with a reaction limited by alkoxide transport across a thick surfactant layer surrounding the micelles' water core.
Antibody to Jo-1 in polymyositis/dermatomyositis: association with interstitial pulmonary disease. (1984)

Forty-four patients with polymyositis/dermatomyositis (PM/DM) were studied for precipitating antibody to Jo-1. Ten (23%) had anti-Jo-1 antibodies including 8 (47%) of 17 PM patients and 2 (15%) of 13 PM-overlap patients. None of the 11 DM nor 3 PM/DM-cancer patients had anti-Jo-1 antibody. Interstitial pulmonary disease was present in 5 (50%) of the 10 anti-Jo-1 positive compared to 5 (13%) of the 34 anti-Jo-1 negative patients (odds ratio = 5.8, p = 0.05). No differences in other demographic or clinical features or survivorship were noted between these groups. These data confirm the association of anti-Jo-1 antibody with an increased frequency of interstitial pulmonary disease in PM/DM patients.
Evaluation of New Message Structures for Navigation Message Authentication (2017)

The current Galileo E1-B message will incorporate features to support navigation message authentication (NMA). The aim of this paper is to propose a future navigation message structure for satellite navigation systems incorporating NMA capabilities and providing stand-alone positioning. Based on signatures sizes ensuring high security strength, a message structures is presented, which offers short authentication times between consecutive events. To achieve frequent authentication events, high data rates are envisaged (up to 1000 sps). A dedicated subframe for the clock and ephemeris data (as in the CNAV-2 message) is foreseen to provide stand-alone information for positioning. The paper illustrates a future message structure for satellite navigation, where authentication on data level can be introduced most efficiently with respect to the authentication error rate (AER) and the time between two authentication events. For this purpose advanced forward error correction (FEC) schemes as Turbo and Super-Orthogonal Turbo Codes (SOTC) with different coding rates are assessed and their performance is compared to the data demodulation thresholds given by the message structures on GPS L1C (CNAV-2) and Galileo E1-B (I/NAV).
Fluidic Vortex Valve Servoactuator Development (1969)

Abstract : The report summarizes the development of a fluidic vortex valve controlled servoactuator for a UH-1B helicopter stability augmentation system (pitch, roll, and yaw control). Alternate fluidic approaches for hydraulic actuator control were studied, and an approach utilizing two vortex valves was selected. Vortex valves were developed to meet the specified performance requirements. A circuit was designed to incorporate the vortex valves for second-stage flow modulation.
Self-Esteem – a Psychiatric View (1988)

The literature relating to the acquisition, maintenance, and clinical significance of self-esteem reveals theoretical differences between earlier investigators. The nature of self-esteem remains controversial, and attention is drawn to some of the problems of construct validation and measurement. Despite the difficulties, self-esteem is a concept worthy of further pursuit. This will require a measuring instrument that captures the concept more effectively than those currently available.
Localization of Carbon Black Particles in Polypropylene/Polyethylene Polymer Blend and Its Electrical Resistivity. (2002)

カーボンブラック (CB) 充てんポリプロピレン (PP) /ポリエチレン (HDPE) ポリマーブレンドの電気抵抗率に及ぼすCB粒子の局在化の影響について検討した. まず, CB粒子をPPと混合した. 引続きCB/PP複合材料とHDPEとを混合して, 逐次混練複合材料を作製した. 最初PP相中に分散していたCB粒子は, 逐次混練試料中ではPP相からHDPE相へ移動しようとする. その結果, CB粒子はPP/HDPE界面に局在化する. PP相およびHDPE相がともに連続相であるとき, PP/HDPE界面に局在化したCB粒子はブレンド中で導電性ネットワークを形成することが期待される. 逐次混練試料は同時混練試料よりも低い常温電気抵抗率および高いPTC (Positive Temperature Coefficient) 強度を示した. これらの結果は, PP/HDPE界面に局在化したCB粒子は導電性に効果的であること, および界面に形成された導電性ネットワークはマトリックス高分子の熱膨張とともに膨張しやすいことを示唆している. CB粒子の局在化を透過型電子顕微鏡 (TEM) 観察により確認した.
Alcian Blue/Alizarin Red Staining of Cartilage and Bone of Short-Tailed Fruit Bat (<i>Carollia perspicillata</i>) (2009)

INTRODUCTION This protocol is used to stain embryo skeleton with alcian blue and alizarin red at later stages of development, when there is significant replacement of the cartilaginous early skeleton with ossified bone. It has been used with good results on the short-tailed fruit bat Carollia perspicillata and other bat species from CS 20 through neonatal stages.
Routing-Aware Channel Selection in Multi-Radio Mesh Networks (2009)

Efficient channel selection is essential in 802.11 mesh deployments, for minimizing contention and interference among co-channel devices and thereby supporting a plurality of QoS-sensitive applications. In this paper, we propose ARACHNE, a routing-aware channel selection protocol for wireless mesh networks. ARACHNE is distributed in nature, and motivated by our measurements on a wireless testbed. The main novelty of our protocol comes from adopting a metric that captures the end-to-end link loads across different routes in the network. ARACHNE prioritizes the assignment of low-interference channels to links that (a) need to serve high-load aggregate traffic and/or (b) already suffer significant levels of contention and interference. Our protocol takes into account the number of potential interfaces (radios) per device, and allocates these interfaces in a manner that efficiently utilizes the available channel capacity. We evaluate ARACHNE through extensive, trace-driven simulations. We observe that our protocol improves the total network throughput, as compared to three other channel allocation strategies.

DEVELOPMENT OF GUIDELINES FOR CONSTRUCTION CONTROL OF PILE DRIVING AND ESTIMATION OF PILE CAPACITY - PHASE I - FINAL REPORT (1985)

A literature review covering the use of dynamic pile driving equations, wave equation methods, pile analyzers, and current practices by State Transportation Departments is presented. The literature review shows that no one dynamic pile driving formula can be considered superior to all others. However, the Hiley, Janbu, and Gates equations appear to be consistently among the best in published comparisons of formula predictions versus pile load test results. The Engineering News formula and its modified versions are found, with one exception, to be among the worrst predictors of pile capacity in these studies. When wave equation methods are included in comparisons of predicted to measured capacity, the wave equation prediction is consistently equal to or better than the best formula. Pile analyzer results can be excellent; however, the ability of the operations is a crucial factor in its successful use. The majority of the 34 states responding to a survey indicated that they use the Engineering News formula in its original or modified form. No other dynamic equation was mentioned. Several states indicated a switch in recent years from the Engineering News formula to wave equation analyses with a resulting increase in accuracy. Only two states make regular use of a pile analyzer, but they are very saftisfied with it. Recommendations are made for the improvement of current Washington State Department of Transportation procedures for construction control of pile driving and estimation of pile capacity. Recommendations for additional research are also included.

Nanoparticle-mediated targeting of pitavastatin induced cardioprotection from IR injury by activation of PI3K/Akt pathway and inhibition of inflammation and cardiomyocyte death in this model. This strategy can be developed as an innovative cardioprotective modality that may advance currently unsatisfactory reperfusion therapy for AMI.
Molécules d'adhérence et protéases dans les cancers épithéliaux de l'ovaire. (1999)

La transformation maligne de l'epithelium ovarien de surface est a l'origine de 90% des cancers de l'ovaire. Par son origine mesodermique, cet epithelium est dote d'une plasticite phenotypique particuliere caracterisee par la transition epithelium-mesenchyme, en fonction du contexte extracellulaire. Il est capable de proliferer, migrer, degrader la matrice extracellulaire et de la reconstituer pour recouvrir la blessure creee par l'ovulation. Cette dynamique en fait un epithelium particulierement susceptible a la transformation maligne. La presence de cellules adherentes et de cellules en suspension disseminees dans la cavite peritoneale est caracteristique des cancers epitheliaux de l'ovaire. Ces proprietes de l'epithelium ovarien normal et tumoral justifient l'interet porte aux systemes intervenant dans l'adherence cellulaire: cadherines, CD44, complexes entre les integrines et leurs ligands de la matrice extracellulaire, proteases extracellulaires. Pour certaines de ces molecules, il apparait que les cancers epitheliaux de l'ovaire presentent des caracteristiques particulieres par rapport a d'autres carcinomes.
Use of Iodine for Disinfection (1965)

This article discusses a study to determine the effectiveness of iodine as a water disinfectant, and to determine the health effects of this type of disinfection on a human population. The water in two water systems supplying three Florida correctional institutions and serving a total of approximately 700 people has been continuously disinfected with iodine for a period of 19 months under carefully planned chemical, bacteriologic, and medical controls. To date, 57 mil gal of water has been iodinated. The studies will continue until June 1966.

Magnetic Ordering in CrCl3 at the Phase Transition (1982)

The Faraday-rotation of CrCl3 crystals is investigated in the temperature range from 7 to 23.5 K and in fields up to 320 kA/m. The magnetic ordering sets in at T = 16.8 K whereas the maximum of the susceptibility is observed at T = (15.5 ± 0.2) K. Consequently during cooling first a twodimensional ferromagnetic ordering at Tc = 16.8 K occurs in the hexagonal layers of the crystal, and the antiferromagnetic ordering between the layers appears at a somewhat lower temperature at TN = (15.5 ± 0.2) K. A spin-flop is found in the antiferromagnetic state. It shows that CrCl3 is not a metamagnet as often assumed. The flop-field is Hsf = (13.0 ± 0.5) kA/m at T = 7 K, corresponding to an anisotropy field of 780 A/m in the layer plane. Es wird die Faraday-Drehung von CrCl3-Kristallen im Temperaturbereich 7 bis 23,5 K und in äußeren Feldern bis 320 kA/m gemessen. Die magnetische Ordnung setzt bei T = 16.8 K ein, während das Maximum der Suszeptibilität bei T = (15,5 ± 0,2) K beobachtet wird. Die Untersuchungen lassen den Schluß zu, daß in CrCl3 bei Tc = 16,8 K zunächst eine zweidimensionale ferromagnetische Ordnung in den hexagonalen Schichten des Kristalls auftritt und erst bei TN = (15,5 ±0,2) K die antiferromagnetische Ordnung zwischen den Schichten erscheint. Im antiferromagnetischen Zustand wird ein Spin-Flop beobachtet, der zeigt, daß CrCl3 kein Metamagnet ist, wie vielfach angenommen wird. Die Spin-Flop-Feldstärke beträgt Hsf = (13,0 ± 0,5) kA/m bei T = 7 K, entsprechend einer Anisotropiefeldstärke von 780 A/m in der Schichtebene.
Apolipoprotein M Gene (APOM) Polymorphism Modifies Metabolic and Disease Traits in Type 2 Diabetes (2011)

This study aimed at substantiating the associations of the apolipoproein M gene (APOM) with type 2 diabetes (T2D) as well as with metabolic traits in Hong Kong Chinese. In addition, APOM gene function was further characterized to elucidate its activity in cholesterol metabolism. Seventeen APOM SNPs documented in the NCBI database were genotyped. Five SNPs were confirmed in our study cohort of 1234 T2D and 606 control participants. Three of the five SNPs rs707921(C+1871A), rs707922(G+1837T) and rs805264(G+203A) were in linkage disequilibrium (LD). We chose rs707922 to tag this LD region for down stream association analyses and characterized the function of this SNP at molecular level. No association between APOM and T2D susceptibility was detected in our Hong Kong Chinese cohort. Interestingly, the C allele of rs805297 was significantly associated with T2D duration of longer than 10 years (OR = 1.245, p = 0.015). The rs707922 TT genotype was significantly associated with elevated plasma total-and LDL-cholesterol levels (p = 0.006 and p = 0.009, respectively) in T2D patients. Molecular analyses of rs707922 lead to the discoveries of a novel transcript APOM5 as well as the cryptic nature of exon 5 of the gene. Ectopic expression of APOM5 transcript confirmed rs707922 allele-dependent activity of the transcript in modifying cholesterol homeostasis in vitro. In conclusion, the results here did not support APOM as a T2D susceptibility gene in Hong Kong Chinese. However, in T2D patients, a subset of APOM SNPs was associated with disease duration and metabolic traits. Further molecular analysis proved the functional activity of rs707922 in APOM expression and in regulation of cellular cholesterol content.
Boundary-Layer Pressure Fluctuation on 707 Prototype Airplane (1962)

In-flight experiments to measure turbulent boundary-layer pressure field along the fuselage of a large transport airplane at 10 000-, 20 000-, and 30 000-ft altitudes for flight speeds of from 0.4–0.67 Mach are reported. The data include power spectra and mean-square-pressure of the turbulent boundary layer, and power spectra of the boundary-layer-induced panel vibration. These data are compared with published information on the boundary-layer pressure fluctuation of a rigid wall.
