Economic drivers of dwelling satisfaction (2009)

Purpose Sociologists are discussing whether or not economic growth enhances subjective well‐being. To complement their research from a housing perspective, the purpose of this paper is to investigate whether aggregate income enhances dwelling satisfaction over time. While cross‐sectional studies have only examined the direct influence of income on dwelling satisfaction, this paper suggests that there are additional influences mediated by other social indicators. Design/methodology/approach Based on data from Germany, correlation and regression analyses examine the impacts of aggregate income and other social indicators on dwelling satisfaction. Path analysis is used to test for the existence of mediated relationships. Findings The paper finds that aggregate income positively influences dwelling satisfaction. Environmental satisfaction, customer satisfaction and satisfaction with family relations also positively impact dwelling satisfaction and mediate influences of aggregate income. The mediated effects are stronger than the direct effect of aggregate income on dwelling satisfaction. Research limitations/implications The longitudinal availability of aggregate customer satisfaction data is still limited. Future research on dwelling satisfaction is encouraged to account for customer satisfaction and to reexamine the analyses of this study with future data. Practical implications Stimulating economic growth is a good strategy to improve dwelling satisfaction. Policies improving the environment, family support and shopping opportunities are also effective. Originality/value This paper is original in that it examines the impacts of economic growth and customer satisfaction on dwelling satisfaction. While the extant literature has only analysed direct effects of income on dwelling satisfaction, this study also accounts for mediated effects.
App-assisted external ventricular drain insertion (2015)

The freehand technique for insertion of an external ventricular drain (EVD) is based on fixed anatomical landmarks and does not take individual variations into consideration. A patient-tailored approach based on augmented-reality techniques using devices such as smartphones can address this shortcoming. The Sina neurosurgical assist (Sina) is an Android mobile device application (app) that was designed and developed to be used as a simple intraoperative neurosurgical planning aid. It overlaps the patient's images from previously performed CT or MRI studies on the image seen through the device camera. The device is held by an assistant who aligns the images and provides information about the relative position of the target and EVD to the surgeon who is performing EVD insertion. This app can be used to provide guidance and continuous monitoring during EVD placement. The author describes the technique of Sina-assisted EVD insertion into the frontal horn of the lateral ventricle and reports on its clinical application in 5 cases as well as the results of ex vivo studies of ease of use and precision. The technique has potential for further development and use with other augmented-reality devices.
The End (of this Discussion) of Tribal Sovereignty (1999)

People tend to look at other people's eyes, but whether this bias is automatic or volitional is unclear. To discriminate between these two possibilities, we used a "don't look" (DL) paradigm. Participants looked at a series of upright or inverted faces, and were asked either to freely view the faces or to avoid looking at the eyes, or as a control, the mouth. As previously demonstrated, participants showed a bias to attend to both eyes and mouths during free viewing. In the DL condition, participants told to avoid the eyes of upright faces were unable to fully suppress the tendency to fixate on the faces' eyes, whereas participants told to avoid the mouth of upright faces successfully eliminated their bias to overtly attend to that feature. When faces were inverted, participants were equally able to suppress looks to the eyes and mouth. Together, these results suggest that the tendency to look at the eyes reflects orienting that is both volitional and automatic, and that the engagement of holistic or configural face processing mechanisms during upright face viewing has an influence in guiding gaze automatically to the eyes.
Picture this: My lesson. How LAMS is being used with pre-service teachers to develop effective classroom activities (2006)

The Teacher Education Program at Macquarie University is trialling the use of LAMS as a scaffold for lesson planning with pre-service teachers. Throughout the process of authoring a LAMS sequence, these students are required to think about all aspects of their lessons in detail and LAMS enables them to experience the lesson themselves via a Preview mode before using it in the classroom. The graphic interface allows students and their tutors to visualise lessons providing an instant 'picture' of the lesson and its content with a clarity not available in traditional written lesson plans. In addition, LAMS creates these lessons in a standardised template of activities that can easily be modified for future re-use.
Analysis of interleukin-4 and interleukin-10 and their association with the lymphocytic infiltrate in the small intestine of patients with coeliac disease. (1996)

There is no primary deficiency of IL-4 and IL-10 producing cells in the small intestine of patients with coeliac disease. Detectable concentrations of IL-4 and IL-10 were found in control patients which suggests that these cytokines are involved in normal mucosal immunoregulation. The increased number of T lymphocytes but not IL-4 or IL-10 producing cells in the lamina propria of patients with untreated than in those with treated disease suggests not only that the lamina propria is the major mucosal compartment for cytokine production but that newly recruited mucosal T lymphocytes are directed to a predominant Th1 and not a Th2 cytokine response in coeliac patients on a diet containing gluten.
Find-similar (2006)

Search systems have for some time provided users with the ability to request documents similar to a given document. Interfaces provide this feature via a link or button for each document in the search results. We call this feature find-similar or similarity browsing. We examined find-similar as a search tool, like relevance feedback, for improving retrieval performance. Our investigation focused on find-similar's document-to-document similarity, the reexamination of documents during a search, and the user's browsing pattern. Find-similar with a query-biased similarity, avoiding the reexamination of documents, and a breadth-like browsing pattern achieved a 23% increase in the arithmetic mean average precision and a 66% increase in the geometric mean average precision over our baseline retrieval. This performance matched that of a more traditionally styled iterative relevance feedback technique.
Fault isolation with principal components structured models for a gas turbine (2008)

This paper deals with the fault isolation issue in a gas turbine unit of a combined cycle power plant where the residual evaluation is addressed using data driven based structured models. The design of the isolation system is performed considering a) the redundant graphs of the gas turbine obtained from a non-linear complex dynamical model with 37 algebraic and differential equations with 15 known variables; and b) a data driven method to generate the corresponding residuals. The structured residuals subspaces are generated via dynamic principal component analysis with adaptive standardization from sets of nominal historical data. Thus, the proposed integration of data-driven methods with structural analysis to generate the residuals does not require parameterized models which are difficult to obtain for large scale systems, as the gas turbine of a power plant.
Efficient design in a DC to DC converter unit (2005)

Space flight hardware requires high power conversion efficiencies due to limited power availability and weight penalties of cooling systems. The international space station (ISS) electric power system (EPS) DC- DC converter unit (DDCU) power converter is no exception. This paper explores the design methods and tradeoffs that were utilized to accomplish high efficiency in the DDCU. An isolating DC to DC converter was selected for the ISS power system because of requirements for separate primary and secondary grounds and for a well-regulated secondary output voltage derived from a widely varying input voltage. A flyback-current-fed push-pull topology, or improved Weinberg circuit, was chosen for this converter because of its potential for high efficiency and reliability. To enhance efficiency, a nondissipative snubber circuit for the very-low-Rds-on field effect transistors (FET)s was utilized, redistributing the energy that could be wasted during the switching cycle of the power FETs. A unique, low-impedance connection system was utilized to improve contact resistance over a bolted connection. For improved consistency in performance and to lower internal wiring inductance and losses, a planar bus system is employed. All of these choices contributed to the design of a 6.25 KW regulated DC to DC converter that is 95% efficient. The methodology used in the design of this DC to DC converter unit may be directly applicable to other systems that require a conservative approach to efficient power conversion and distribution.
West-side dust plots (1954)

One species of grass, among the 11 varieties of legumes and grassesplanted in December 1952-in test plots in the southern San Joaquin Valley, showed promise in December 1953. The test plots-of about 500 acres each, and fenced-were established in Fresno, Kings, and Kern counties to introduce plants and develop management practices to alleviate the Westside dust problem. Trial plantings of grasses and legumes, in rows about 1,300’ long, have been made each year beginning in the autumn of 1951. Poor plant growth because of lack of rainfall in two seasons out of three has prevented any significant observations on grazing. In 1952, adequate rainfall produced good plant growth and the rows fertilized with ammo-phos-16-20-0-applied at the rate of about 44 pounds per acreresponded very satisfactorily. Schismus arabicus, a grass native to the Mediterranean area, was first noticed on the Westside Plains some seven or eight years ago. The plant seems to root firmly in the soil and is therefore resistant to wind action. Stockmen reported that stock liked the grass and it seemed to be a good forage plant. No extensive stands of Schismus were found but plants were scattered over much of the Westside area. Seeds of the new grass were collected and in early December, 1952-after good early rains-the three test plots were planted with:
The effect of silane modification on the adsorptive properties of natural pyrophyllite and synthetic titanium-based powders prepared by the sol-gel process (2005)

Our aim was to improve the relatively poor adsorption characteristics of natural pyrophyllite and those of TiOm and Ti(OR)x(OH)y(O)z obtained from titanium tetraisopropoxide (TTIP) by the sol-gel process. For this purpose, the surfaces of the above-mentioned adsorbents were coated with a surface modifier by dipping them in 1% and 50% (w/w) solutions of N-(2-aminoethyl)-3- aminopropyltrimethoxysilane (DIAMO) in methanol. Realization of the coating processes was checked by FT-IR and SEM analyses. FT-IR analyses of the coated powders heat treated at 110 °C showed that condensation took place between OH groups of prehydrolyzed silane molecules and hydroxyl groups and/or oxygen atoms on the surface of the powders, ensuring the attachment of the silane molecules to the surface. Adsorption properties of coated and uncoated adsorbents were compared. Adsorption percentage of natural pyrophyllite was 46.35% for 4-nitrophenol (4-NP) in aqueous solution, whereas 1% and 50% amino-coated pyrophyllite displayed 52.14% and 73.84% adsorption, respectively. The highest adsorption of 4-NP was realized when the calcinated powder obtained from the hydrolysis-condensation product of TTIP was coated with DIAMO from 50% solution.
Autoantibody Testing in the Evaluation of Peripheral Neuropathy (1998)

A recent development in the evaluation of peripheral neuropathy patients has been the identification of autoantibodies directed against various peripheral nerve antigens. For some conditions, assay for the antibodies can be very helpful in confirming a diagnosis. In others, an antibody may be associated with clinical findings that are neither distinctive nor specific, and the role of the antibody in the pathogenesis of the clinical disease may remain uncertain. The appropriate use of antibody assays in clinical diagnosis and management is therefore often unclear. This article highlights the historical background for the best-described "antinerve" antibodies, and reviews the biochemistry, immunology, pathophysiology, and treatment implications of the associated clinical conditions.
Nuclear Transport of Insulin-Like Growth Factor-I and Insulin-Like Growth Factor Binding Protein-3 in Opossum Kidney Cells (1997)

When added to cultured opossum kidney cells, IGF-I is internalized and transported to distinct intracellular compartments that depend on the cell location within the monolayer. In resting cells away from the periphery of the monolayer, IGF-I is internalized by a clathrin coated pit pathway and delivered to the endosomal compartment. In contrast, cells growing at the edges of a monolayer or an experimental wound internalize IGF-I by an alternative route which rapidly delivers IGF-I to the nucleus. Similarly to IGF-I, IGFBP-3 is also internalized and accumulates in the endosomal compartment in resting cells whereas it is targeted to the nucleus in proliferating cells. IGFBP-3, which contains a putative nuclear targeting signal, may act as a carrier for IGF-I nuclear transport. The transport of IGF-I and IGFBP-3 to two different compartments may influence their biological activity.

U-54,669F: a novel hypotensive agent. (1983)

U-54,669F, a new antihypertensive agent, administered orally was associated with dose-related hypotensive responses in conscious, spontaneously hypertensive, and normotensive rats (0.015-0.5 mg/kg) and in supine conscious monkeys (1-10 mg/kg). No loss of hypotensive efficacy of U-54,669F was observed after 1 wk of daily repetitive treatment. U-54,669F did not alter electrical postganglionic sympathetic nerve activity or postsynaptic sympathetic function. Hypotensive responses to U-54,669F were blunted in spinal cats. U-54,669F was associated with dose-related decreases in norepinephrine (NE) levels in plasma and in cardiac and splenic tissue, whereas brain NE was unaltered. U-54,669F attenuated vascular responses associated with electrical stimulation of sympathetic nerves. However, at hypotensive doses, U-54,669F did not impair the ability of monkeys to withstand orthostatic stress, or contraction of the nictitating membrane secondary to sympathetic stimulation in the cat. U-54,669F appears to alter peripheral sympathetic neurogenic function, but apparently does not enter the central nervous system and does not impair the ability to withstand orthostatic stress at effective hypotensive doses.
An introduction to the use of hydrogen peroxide and ultraviolet radiation: An advanced oxidation process (1997)

Abstract Hydrogen peroxide and ultraviolet light are combined in a synergistic effect to degrade organic chemicals in aqueous solutions. The generation of hydroxyl radicals is fundamental to the process as the hydroxyl radicals are largely responsible for the success of this process. Other factors affecting the effectiveness of the process are concentration of hydrogen peroxide, water quality, UV dose and spectra, scavengers, and temperature. Several models that have been used for this process are described.
[The combined use of specific phages and antibiotics in different infectious allergoses]. (1991)

Complex treatment with antibiotics, specific phages and autovaccine was carried out in 1340 patients with different infectious allergoses. These agents proved effective in 48.0-82.5% of cases. It was established that most effective was the complex of specific phages and antibiotics which controlled intoxication while inclusion of autovaccination in the treatment increased the treatment efficiency to 82.5% of cases.
Optical fiber refractometry by interference microscopy: a simplified method (1978)

Index of refraction profiles of optical fibers are obtained by a new interference technique closely related to Mach-Zehnder microscope interferometry. Data are obtained from specially prepared samples using a conventional reflected light microscope. Excellent agreement is obtained with the results using the Mach-Zehnder method but at a considerable reduction in the cost and complexity of instrumentation.
Platelets in Immune Response to Virus and Immunopathology of Viral Infections (2018)

Platelets are essential effector cells in hemostasis. Aside from their role in coagulation, platelets are now recognized as major inflammatory cells with key roles in the innate and adaptive arms of the immune system. Activated platelets have key thromboinflammatory functions linking coagulation to immune responses in various infections, including in response to virus. Recent studies have revealed that platelets exhibit several pattern recognition receptors (PRR) including those from the toll-like receptor, NOD-like receptor, and C-type lectin receptor family and are first-line sentinels in detecting and responding to pathogens in the vasculature. Here, we review the main mechanisms of platelets interaction with viruses, including their ability to sustain viral infection and replication, their expression of specialized PRR, and activation of thromboinflammatory responses against viruses. Finally, we discuss the role of platelet-derived mediators and platelet interaction with vascular and immune cells in protective and pathophysiologic responses to dengue, influenza, and human immunodeficiency virus 1 infections.

Cerebral Magnetic Resonance Imaging and Mental and Motor Function of Very Low Birth Weight Children at Six Years of Age (1997)

In this follow-up study, 20 of a geographically based year cohort of 31 surviving non-disabled VLBW (birthweight < 1500 g) children were examined at six years of age. The aim of the study was to relate cerebral MRI findings to neuro-development in these non-disabled children at six years of age. All MRI scans were evaluated for myelination pattern, periventricular gliosis, ventricular dilation and cortical atrophy. The Peabody motor test and the Wechsler Preschool and Primary Scale of Intelligence (WPPSI) were used in the evaluation of motor, mental and perceptual function. A diagnosis of attention deficit disorder with hyperactivity was made based on the examiner's impression of the child during the examination and based on the parent's history. We found that ten (50%) of the children had periventricular gliosis, mainly in centrum semiovale (CS) (nine children) and in central occipital white matter (COW) (six children). Gliosis in CS was related to lower scores on the Peabody gross motor test for locomotion, indicating involvement of corticospinal tracts. Additional gliosis in COW was related to both fine motor and gross motor impairments. We speculate that this indicates damage to both motor and visual pathways, affecting eye-hand coordination and balance function. No relationship between MRI deviations at six years and mental function based on performance, verbal and total IQ scores was found. However, there was a significant relationship between periventricular gliosis in COW and C5 and low scores on the WPPSI performance subtests: Picture completion test and Block design test. This may indicate visual and spatial perception problems, caused by damage to posterior visual pathways and occipito-thalamic tracts dealing with visuo-motor integration.
