Genetics and Pathophysiology of Human Obesity (2003)

Obesity has become a leading public health concern. Over 1 billion people are now overweight or obese, and the prevalence of these conditions is rising rapidly. Remarkable new insights into the mechanisms that control body weight are providing an increasingly detailed framework for a better understanding of obesity pathogenesis. Key peripheral signals, such as leptin, insulin, and ghrelin, have been linked to hypothalamic neuropeptide systems, and the anatomic and functional networks that integrate these systems have begun to be elucidated. This article highlights some of these recent findings and their implications for the future of obesity treatment.
Integrated building simulation: state-of-the-art (1998)

This paper outlines the current state-of-the-art in integrated building simulation. The ESP-r system is used as an example where integrated simulation is a core philosophy behind the development. The current state and future developments are documented with examples. The importance of the interoperability is discussed in the area of air flow, multi-dimensional conduction, lighting, CFD, and power flow modelling. It is argued that for building simulation to penetrate the profession in the near future, there is a need for appropriate training and professional technology transfer initiatives.
A Phenomenological Study (2019)

This research explored lived experiences of female superintendents to understand factors that supported or created barriers for women in their career advancement while becoming a superintendent. A phenomenological study design framework was applied to the research to explore the journey women faced including the successes, struggles, and level of support they experienced during their career paths. Background research examined leadership roles, which address gender bias, ratio of female to male principals and superintendents, and other gender specific issues. In this study, seven female superintendents in the state of Pennsylvania were interviewed using a semi-structured one-on-one interview process. From the data, four themes emerged including, (a) Challenges They Faced, (b) Finding Balance, (c) Supporting Factors, and (d) Positive Attributes of the Job . A few recommendations to help increase the number of females in leadership positions include the concept of networking with other females for support purposes and to create a mentoring program that could be implemented by any school district nationwide.

Computational Methods Using a Bayesian Hierarchical Generalized Linear Model (1988)

Abstract Suppose we observe Y 1, …, YN , where Yi has the exponential density f(yi |θi ) = exp{ϕi ([yiθi – b(θi )]}c(yi, ϕi ). The parameters of interest are not the canonical parameters θi but the means μi = b′(θi ). In the usual generalized linear model (GLM) setup, suppose the means μ1, …, μN are believed to satisfy a specific p-dimensional GLM g(μi ) = xT iβ, where the link function g and the regression coefficients {xi } are known and the regression vector β is unknown. Two problems of interest are the assessment of the goodness of fit of the GLM and the estimation of the means μi . The approach to these problems is by the use of a Bayesian two-stage prior distribution, a generalization of a model used by Lindley and Smith (1972) in the normal mean-estimation problem. At the first stage of the model, we assign independent conjugate distributions to θ1, …, θN , where the prior means of the μi satisfy the GLM. There are p + 1 unknown hyperparameters in this specification, the elements of the regression parameter β and a precision parameter λ. At the second stage of the prior model, the hyperparameters β and λ are assigned noninformative distributions. The posterior distribution for the θi is expressible as π({θi } | data) = J π({θi } | data, β, λ)π{β, λ | data) dβ dλ. The posterior distribution of the θi given the hyperparameters β and λ is tractable, but the posterior distribution of β and λ is intractable. The focus of this article is on tractable accurate approximations to the posterior distribution of β and λ. These approximations give simple expressions for posterior moments of the hyperparameters λ and β and for posterior moments of the means μi . The accuracy of the approximate methods is investigated for binomial data in which the means are believed to satisfy a logistic model. A thorough evaluation of the methods is made for the simple exchangeable model. A more complicated logistic model is fit to data from Rosenberg (1962), and the usual frequentist inferences and inferences using the Bayesian hierarchical model are illustrated.
Scaling-up resistive synaptic arrays for neuro-inspired architecture: Challenges and prospect (2015)

The crossbar array architecture with resistive synaptic devices is attractive for on-chip implementation of weighted sum and weight update in the neuro-inspired learning algorithms. This paper discusses the design challenges on scaling up the array size due to non-ideal device properties and array parasitics. Circuit-level mitigation strategies have been proposed to minimize the learning accuracy loss in a large array. This paper also discusses the peripheral circuits design considerations for the neuro-inspired architecture. Finally, a circuit-level macro simulator is developed to explore the design trade-offs and evaluate the overhead of the proposed mitigation strategies as well as project the scaling trend of the neuro-inspired architecture.
Calculated Electronic Behavior and Spectrum of Mg+@C60 Using a Simple Jellium-shell Model (2004)

We present a method for calculating the energy levels and wave functions of any atom or ion with a single valence electron encapsulated in a Fullerene cage using a jelluim-shell model. The valence electron-core interaction is represented by a one-body pseudo-potential obtained through density functional theory with strikingly accurate parameters for Mg+ and which reduces to a purely Coulombic interaction in the case of H. We find that most energy states are affected little by encapsulation. However, when either the electron in the non-encapsulated species has a high probability of being near the jellium cage, or when the cage induces a maximum electron probability density within it, the energy levels shift considerably. Mg+ shows behavior similar to that of H, but since its wave functions are broader, the changes in its energy levels from encapsulation are slightly more pronounced. Agreement with other computational work as well as experiment is excellent and the method presented here is generalizable to any encapsulated species where a one-body electronic pseudo-potential for the free atom (or ion) is available. Results are also presented for off-center hydrogen, where a ground state energy minimum of -14.01 eV is found at a nuclear displacement of around 0.1 Å.

Mango<i>(Mangifera indica L.)</i>, “The King of Fruits”—An Overview (2006)

Mango (Mangifera indica L.) is commercially the most important fruit crop of India, accounting for > 54% of the total mango produced worldwide. Over 30 different varieties of mango are grown, the most important one is Alphonso, which is rated best in the world. It is known for its strong aroma, intense peel coloration, delicious taste, and high nutritive value (due to its high content of vitamin C, β-carotene and minerals). The chemical composition of mango pulp varies with the location of cultivation, variety, and stage of maturity. There is an increase from 1 to 14% in the starch content during fruit development, and towards the end of maturity, both reducing and non-reducing sugars are found to be increasing. The fruit ripening process involves a series of physiological, biochemical, and organoleptic changes that lead to the development of a soft, edible, ripe fruit with desirable qualities. Ethylene, a plant growth hormone, regulates many aspects of fruit development and cell metabolism, including initiation of ripening and senescence, particularly in climacteric fruits. Textural softening, an integral part of ripening of almost all fruits, is a major quality attribute that determines consumer acceptance. Fruit softening is thus accompanied by molecular-structural changes in cell wall constituents, which have been studied at both substrate (polysaccharides) and enzyme (glycanases and glycosidases) levels. Several lines of evidence have enumerated on compositional and structural modifications in pectic and hemicellulosic polysaccharides, especially of xyloglucan-type polymers during mango fruit ripening. Of late, modern biotechnological approaches are paving the way for healthy propagation and rapid multiplication of valuable geno types and improved plants, which augment advantages such as non-seasonal, almost year-round production and conservation of germplasm for better international exchange. Somatic hybridization via protoplast fusion could be an alternative to overcome problems such as difficulties in establishing aseptic mango cultures from mature explants associated with phenolic browning. In this direction, further biotechnological approaches may be worth pursuing for sustained mango cultivation.

Quasi-Dedicated Access Scheme for Uplink Realtime Services in Future Wireless Communication Systems (2005)

Recently, the uplink contention-free access schemes have been being considered in systems proposed for BWA (broadband wireless access). The assignment of dedicated channels for contention-free access limits the number of users, and the polling service requires some downlink resources for the transmission of polling information. So, both the assignment of dedicated channels and polling service are inadequate to the realtime service with long inter-packet time. In this paper, we propose a concept of the QDA (quasi-dedicated access) which is rather the concept of "mapping and stealing" than the concept of "assignment", and show that this QDA scheme is very adequate to a variety of future uplink realtime services such as VoIP, VoD and video gaming, through computer simulation. Moreover, we introduce the heuristic suboptimal QDCCH (quasi-dedicated control channel)-stealing ordering scheme which meets access delay bound and can utilize uplink resources flexibly.
Properties of Periodic Gas Lenses (1965)

Gas lenses are being considered as focusing elements of beam-waveguides. Since very many lenses are needed to form a long waveguide, it is reasonable to consider periodic arrangements of gas lenses. Such periodic structures might operate with a gas stream which flows through all of the lenses in succession. A periodic temperature distribution in the gas results which is different from that of single gas lenses considered in two earlier papers. <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">3,4</sup> This paper analyses the ray optics properties, such as focal length and principal surfaces of the gas lenses, of two types of alternating gradient focusing systems. One system consists simply of a succession of hot and cold tubes. The other system results from the first by insertion of heat insulating tubes of equal length between the hot and cold tubes.
Effects of Natural Organic Acids on Growth of Maize and Uptake of Copper and Lead by Maize in Contaminated Soil (2011)

Seven kinds of natural organic acids were added to moderate artiﬁcial contaminated soil to investigate the effects of natural organic acids on growth of maize seedlings and phytoextraction of copper and lead by maize. The results show that the effects of organic acids on plant growth are different in Cu and Pb contaminated soil. The natural organic acids can change the dry matter distribution of the shoot and the root, oxalic acid and tartaric acid can increase the root biomass in different degrees. Oxalic acid and tartaric acid can signiﬁcantly increase the concentrations and uptake of Cu and Pb in the shoots of maize, indicate that oxalic acid and tartaric acid are potential phytoextraction intensifiers in phytoremediation of Cu and Pb contaminated soil.
Effects of Dimension on Dynamic Behaviors of Fiber-Reinforced Composites (2013)

For analyzing the effects of specimen-dimension on dynamic behaviors of fiber-reinforced composites, 4 kinds of CFRP specimens for different dimension were designed and made. The compressive loading tests were conducted by Ф 37mm split Hopkinson pressure bar (SHPB) system. The results show that the dynamic compression effects of specimen-dimension were exposed. An amount of Fiber-reinforced units inside the compressed area of the fiber-reinforced composites, then the experimental data are veracious for the material.

Characterization of Thi9, a Novel Thiamine (Vitamin B1) Transporter from Schizosaccharomyces pombe (2008)

Thiamine is an essential component of the human diet and thiamine diphosphate-dependent enzymes play an important role in carbohydrate metabolism in all living cells. Although the yeasts Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Schizosaccharomyces pombe can derive thiamine from biosynthesis, both are also able to take up thiamine from external sources, leading to the down-regulation of the enzymes involved in its formation. We have isolated the S. pombe thiamine transporter Thi9 by genetic complementation of mutants defective in thiamine biosynthesis and transport. Thi9 localizes to the S. pombe cell surface and works as a high-affinity proton/thiamine symporter. The uptake of thiamine was reduced in the presence of pyrithiamine, oxythiamine, amprolium, and the thiazole part of thiamine, indicating that these compounds are substrates of Thi9. In pyrithiamine-resistant mutants, a conserved glutamate residue close to the first of the 12 transmembrane domains is exchanged by a lysine and this causes aberrant localization of the protein. Thiamine uptake is significantly increased in thiamine-deficient medium and this is associated with an increase in thi9(+) mRNA and protein levels. Upon addition of thiamine, the thi9(+) mRNA becomes undetectable within minutes, whereas the Thi9 protein appears to be stable. The protein is distantly related to transporters for amino acids, gamma-aminobutyric acid and polyamines, and not to any of the known thiamine transporters. We also found that the pyridoxine transporter Bsu1 has a marked contribution to the thiamine uptake activity of S. pombe cells.
