The Importance of Vector Selection in Preoperative Planning of Bilateral Mandibular Distraction (2008)

Background: The application of distraction osteogenesis is an effective treatment for mandibular deficiencies. A priori, a horizontal vector of distraction was hypothesized to produce horizontal movement of the mandible and a vertical vector of distraction to produce primarily downward vertical elongation of the ramus. This study was designed to test this hypothesis. Methods: A retrospective clinical and radiographic review was conducted of all patients who underwent bilateral, uniplanar distraction with an external device at the New York University Medical Center between October of 1990 and February of 2004 (n = 185). A subset of 15 patients was identified who satisfied inclusion criteria and had adequate predistraction and postdistraction lateral cephalograms. Cephalometric tracings were made and multiple landmarks were assessed before and after distraction. Results: A strong correlation was noted between the vector of distraction and rotation of the symphyseal plane, movement of the mandibular symphysis, and change in interocclusal angle. A horizontal vector of distraction resulted in minimal counterclockwise rotation of the symphyseal plane, greater downward vertical translation of the mandibular symphysis, and minimal closure of an anterior open bite. In contrast, a vertical vector resulted in greater counterclockwise rotation of the symphyseal plane, greater horizontal projection of the mandibular symphysis, and greater closure of an anterior open bite. Mathematical formulas were derived to correlate the distraction vector and mandibular movements. Conclusions: Successful distraction is dependent on accurate prediction of outcomes. This study demonstrates that the vector of distraction predictably affects the mandibular response during bilateral distraction osteogenesis but contradicts the a priori hypothesis.
A gravity gradiometry myth busting pilgrimage (2019)

Pitfalls and misunderstandings with respect to the theory and application of gravity gradiometer data are prevalent in our industry. Back in the 1970s a Harvard-trained professor, Dr. Gilbert M. Cuthbertson, taught the introductory political science course at Rice University. I took his course as a freshman. What “Doc C” taught us was that politics can be explained easily by a simple equation consisting of three variables, Myth (M), Power(P), and Value(V), and that M x V = P (Cuthbertson 2007). The same dictum might be applied to technologies, perhaps even to gravity gradiometry. In this presentation I will focus first on Myths, reserving Power and Value of gravity gradiometry for future discourse. “Doc C” often compared our role as students to that of pilgrims on a pilgrimage to find truth and enlightenment. Let us embark on a pilgrimage together. In this presentation we will examine common myths about gravity gradiometry, how they come about, their implications, and attempt to ascertain their veracity: so-called “Myth busting”.
Current-driven, corona-terminated water jets as sources of charged droplets and audible noise (1975)

Single flow-rate-dependent sites of water emission and corona discharge are experimentally investigated with the dual objectives of furthering the understanding of audible noise generation from high-voltage transmission lines in foul weather, and engineering electrically-driven sources of charged droplets for use in particulate pollution control devices. Three distinct modes of behavior are mapped as functions of flow rate and potential gradient for ac and dc excitations of both polarities. Each is characterized in terms of physical appearance, current, visual corona, and nature of audible noise. Detailed treatment is given to the high-flow-rate, high-gradient mode which consists of an electrohydrodynamic jet terminated in a corona discharge followed by a spray of charged droplets. In terms of noise generated, this mode is efficient in removing water from a high-voltage transmission line. It appears also to be practical as a source of charged droplets. The salient features of this mode are given a basic explanation by using an experiment to control the potential distribution around the site in such a way that the electrohydrodynamics of the jet formation, as well as the electrical discharge, can be quantitatively described. For the first time, the corona discharge is identified as a trigger mechanism for breakup of a current-driven jet. Estimates are given of the drop size and charge, and the electrical power requirement for atomization from an array of sites.

An unusual clinical presentation of lupus erythematosus tumidus localized on the thigh (2017)

A 44-year-old woman with seronegative polyarthritis presented with a 2-year history of a solitary, bluish-red, oedematous, nonscaly, annular and partially reticulated macule on her right thigh. Histopathological findings revealed perivascular and periadnexal lymphocytic infiltrate in the dermis. Alcian blue and colloidal iron stains highlighted mucinous deposit in the upper and mid dermis. Direct immunofluorescence showed a linear deposit of IgG and C3 along the basement membrane zone. Antinuclear antibody was positive at a titre of 1 : 80, with homogenous and speckled patterns. Except for its unusual localization and lack of photosensitivity, our case had the clinical and histopathological features of lupus erythematosus tumidus. These characteristics were also reminiscent of reticular erythematous mucinosis and erythema annulare centrifugum, both of which are considered to be associated with cutaneous lupus erythematosus (CLE). Hydroxychloroquine 200 mg daily led to improvement of the skin lesion. The unusual clinical presentation of our case emphasizes the heterogeneity of clinical manifestations of CLE.
Light absorption properties of twisted-alignment guest-host devices using liquid crystal with low refractive index anisotropy (2005)

To reduce the twist angle without satisfying the Morgan condition in a twisted-alignment guest-host liquid crystal device, the authors fabricated liquid crystal cells having smaller optical anisotropy of the liquid crystals and evaluated the electrooptic properties. A birefringent phenomenon, not optical rotation, occurred here, and the authors investigated fabrication conditions in which two orthogonal polarized light components of the incident light were absorbed by a dichroic black dye that was doped into the liquid crystals. As a result of evaluating the transmittance of the liquid crystal cells, they increased light absorbance and suppressed the black level according to the selection of a liquid crystal with low refractive index anisotropy and an appropriate twist angle. According to this investigation from cell fabrication experiments, the authors clearly showed that the twist angle can be reduced, and they found that when the twist angle was in the range of up to 180°, a response time of 30 ms including both the rise and decay times, could be obtained without decreasing the response speed. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Social systems intervention and crisis resolution. Part 2: Intervention (2003)

Home treatment as an alternative to acute adult in-patient care is part of the National Health Service's Plan for mental health services in the UK. As a form of crisis intervention, it benefits from an understanding of, and ways of working with, the social systems relevant to the patient in crisis. This article describes the social systems intervention process as an alternative to admission and also considers its application in achieving early in-patient discharge.
Clarion 1.2® standard electrode array with partial space-filling positioner: radiological and histological evaluation in human temporal bones (2002)

The purpose of this study was to evaluate whether use of a positioner for situating the Clarion 1.29 standard electrode array in close proximity to the modiolus, causes damage to fine intra-cochlear structures, and to provide a comparison with results obtained for insertions of the array performed without a positioner. The study was performed in seven freshly frozen human temporal bones. Electrode location and intra-cochlear trauma was analysed using cross-sectional imaging and histological analysis. Insertion of the Clarion array did not reveal major trauma. The devices inserted with the positioner showed a consistently closer location of the electron array towards the modiolus, however, insertion resulted in significant displacement of both the electrode array and the positioner resulting in severe destruction of the basilar membrane and osseous spiral lamina along the length of the basal and middle turns. The devices inserted with the positioner resulted in major trauma to the basilar membrane and osseous spiral lamina. Therefore, systematic safety studies in larger samples of human temporal bones should be performed and the results carefully evaluated before implantation can be recommended unreservedly.
Extended Cleavage Specificity of the Rat Vascular Chymase, a Potential Blood Pressure Regulating Enzyme Expressed by Rat Vascular Smooth Muscle Cells (2020)

Serine proteases constitute the major protein content of the cytoplasmic granules of several hematopoietic cell lineages. These proteases are encoded from four different loci in mammals. One of these loci, the chymase locus, has in rats experienced a massive expansion in the number of functional genes. The human chymase locus encodes 4 proteases, whereas the corresponding locus in rats contains 28 such genes. One of these new genes has changed tissue specificity and has been found to be expressed primarily in vascular smooth muscle cells, and therefore been named rat vascular chymase (RVC). This β-chymase has been claimed to be a potent angiotensin-converting enzyme by cleaving angiotensin (Ang) I into Ang II and thereby having the potential to regulate blood pressure. To further characterize this enzyme, we have used substrate phage display and a panel of recombinant substrates to obtain a detailed quantitative view of its extended cleavage specificity. RVC was found to show a strong preference for Phe and Tyr in the P1 position, but also to accept Leu and Trp in this position. A strong preference for Ser or Arg in the P1' position, just C-terminally of the cleavage site, and a preference for aliphatic amino acids in most other positions surrounding the cleavage site was also seen. Interesting also was a relatively strict preference for Gly in positions P3' and P4'. RVC thereby shares similarity in its specificity to the mouse mucosal mast cell chymase mMCP-1, which efficiently converts Ang I to Ang II. This similarity adds support for the role of β-chymases as potent angiotensin converters in rodents, as their α-chymases, which have the capacity to efficiently convert Ang I into Ang II in other mammalian lineages, have become elastases. However, interestingly we found that RVC cleaved both after Arg2 and Phe8 in Ang I. Furthermore this cleavage was more than two hundred times less efficient than the consensus site obtained from the phage display analysis, indicating that RVC has a very low ability to cleave Ang I, raising serious doubts about its role in Ang I conversion.

Our results exclude direct proteolytic processing of BMP-4 by cathepsin H, however, they provide support for its involvement in the regulation of BMP-4 expression.
An Input Vector Monitoring Concurrent BIST Architecture Based on a Precomputed Test Set (2008)

Built-In Self-Test (BIST) techniques constitute an effective and practical approach for VLSI circuits testing. BIST schemes are typically classified into two categories: off-line and on-line. Input vector monitoring concurrent BIST schemes are a class of on-line techniques that circumvent the problems appearing separately in on-line and in off-line BIST. The utilization of input vector monitoring concurrent BIST techniques provides the capability to perform testing at different stages, manufacturing, periodic off-line and concurrent online. The input vector monitoring concurrent BIST schemes proposed so far have targeted either exhaustive or pseudorandom testing separately. In this paper a novel input vector monitoring concurrent BIST scheme based on a pre-computed test set is presented. The proposed scheme can perform both concurrent on-line and off-line testing; therefore it can be equally well utilized for manufacturing and concurrent on-line testing in the field. The applicability of the scheme is validated with respect to the hardware overhead and the time required for completion of the test in benchmark circuits. To the best of our knowledge, the proposed scheme is the first to be presented in the open literature based on a pre-computed test set that can perform both concurrent on line and off-line testing.

Basic Metals, LIX. Dinuclear and Trinuclear Complexes Containing Co  Au and Rh  Au Bonds The compounds C 5 H 5 M(PMe 3 ) 2 ( 1 , 3 ) react with AuCl(PPh 3 ) and LiPF 6 in acetone at −78°C to form the bimetallic complexes [C 5 H 5 (PMe 3 ) 2 MAu(PPh 3 )]PF 6 ( 2 , 4 ). The corresponding reaction of 1 and CH 3 HgI leads to the formation of [C 5 H 5 (PMe 3 ) 2 CoHgCH 3 ]I ( 5 ). Treatment of [C 5 H 5 Co(μ‐PMe 2 )] 2 ( 6 ) with AuCl(PPh 3 )/LiPF 6 produces the trinuclear complex [(C 5 H 5 ) 2 Co 2 (μ‐AuPPh 3 )(μ‐PMe 2 ) 2 ]PF 6 ( 7 ).

Extension of The Laser-Pumped Ruby Maser to Millimeter Wavelengths (1963)

A brief description is given on the operation of a microwave ruby maser in which the pump signal is the optical emission of a ruby laser. For operation in the millimeter spectrum the application of a magnetic field of inordinately high intensity can produce Zeeman splitting of the Cr/sup 3+/ levels at millimeter wave energy in the ground state in ruby. To obtain population inversion by optical pumping on the levels requires that the ratio of maser frequency to temperature be v/sub ij/ / T <14.4 Gc/sec /spl deg/K. As the maser temperature is increased the spin lattice relaxation time T/sub 1/ decreases in addition to possibly decreasing with increasing magnetic field. Since the power required from the laser is estimated as that required to produce saturation of the optical pump transition in a time less thanT/sub 1/, then decreasing T/sub 1/ also requires increased laser emission. A broadening of the laser emission has been observed at increased power so that the limit on useful laser power can be given in terms of the absorption line width of the maser optical pumping transition. Treating these various effects conservatively indicates that the laser-pumped ruby maser can be operated over the entire millimeter spectrum, however. The design of an apparatus with a hard superconductor electromagnet producing the field intensity required to accomplish this objective is given.
Syntheses and cycloaddition reactions of thiaazulenocyclone and thiaazulenocyclone 8,8-dioxide. (1981)

Thiaazulenocyclone (2) and thiaazulenocyclone 8, 8-dioxide (3) were synthesized and their reactions were investigated. The reaction of 2 with N-phenylmaleimide and the reactions of 2 or 3 with acenaphthylene and norbornene provided the Diels-Alder endo adducts, but cycloaddition reactions of 2 or 3 with acetylenic dienophiles, maleic anhydride or benzyne yielded decarbonylated products derived from the [4+2] adducts. The adduct of 2 and N-phenylmaleimide was a mixture of two stereoisomers and was decarbonylated on heating. The reactivities of 2 and 3 in the cycloaddition reactions were estimated by consideration of the frontier orbital interaction. The stereospecificity was mainly controlled by the steric and dipole-dipole interactions.
Using Swarming Agents for Scalable Security in Large Network Environments (Invited Paper) (2011)

Abstract- The difficulty of securing computer infrastructures increases as they grow in size and complexity. Network-based security solutions such as IDS and firewalls cannot scale because of exponentially increasing computational costs inherent in detecting the rapidly growing number of threat signatures. Hostbased solutions like virus scanners and IDS suffer similar issues that are compounded when enterprises try to monitor them in a centralized manner. Swarm-based autonomous agent systems like digital ants and artificial immune systems can provide a scalable security solution for large network environments. The digital ants approach offers a biologically inspired design where each ant in the virtual colony can detect atoms of evidence that may help identify a possible threat. By assembling the atomic evidences from different ant types the colony may detect the threat. This decentralized approach can require, on average, fewer computational resources than traditional centralized solutions; however there are limits to its scalability. This paper describes how dividing a large infrastructure into smaller, managed enclaves allows the digital ant framework to effectively operate in larger environments. Experimental results will show that using smaller enclaves allows for more consistent distribution of agents and results in faster response times. I.

Automatically Triggered FES Rowing Device for SCI Patients With Motorized Return (2018)

A quarter of a million people in the United States are affected by spinal cord injury (SCI), which causes loss of sensation and muscle function. Improvements in clinical care have resulted in a lower risk of mortality from initial complications like bedsores or urosepsis, though patients are more susceptible to long term conditions like coronary heart disease [1], which is a leading cause of death for SCI patients [2]. Patients with SCI have sedentary lifestyles, decreased aerobic fitness, and limited levels of oxygen uptake, which contribute to increased rates of cardiovascular complications [2]. To mitigate these factors, SCI patients must perform vigorous aerobic exercise, which can be done through functional electrical stimulation (FES) [3].
Quantum algorithms for testing and learning Boolean functions (2013)

We discuss quantum algorithms based on the Bernstein–Vazirani algorithm for finding which input variables a Boolean function depends on. There are 2 n possible linear Boolean functions of n input variables; given a linear Boolean function, the Bernstein–Vazirani quantum algorithm can deterministically identify which one of these Boolean functions we are given using just one single function query. We show how the same quantum algorithm can also be used to learn which input variables any other type of Boolean function} depends on. The success probability of learning that the function depends on a particular input variable depends on} the form of the Boolean function that is tested, but does not depend on the total number of input variables. We also outline a procedure based on another quantum algorithm, the Grover search, to amplify further the success probability. Finally, we discuss quantum algorithms for learning the exact form of certain quadratic and cubic Boolean functions.

Evaluation of dielectric and piezoelectric behavior of unpoled and poled barium titanate polycrystals with oxygen vacancies using phase field method (2016)

This article studies the dielectric and piezoelectric behavior of unpoled and poled barium titanate (BaTiO3) polycrystals with oxygen vacancies. A phase field model is employed for BaTiO3 polycrystals, coupled with the time-dependent Ginzburg–Landau theory and the oxygen vacancies diffusion, to demonstrate the interaction between oxygen vacancies and domain evolutions. To generate grain structures, the phase field model for grain growth is also used. The hysteresis loop and butterfly curve are predicted at room and high temperatures. The permittivity, and longitudinal and transverse piezoelectric constants of the BaTiO3 polycrystals are then examined for various grain sizes and oxygen vacancy densities.
