Functional connectivity networks for preoperative brain mapping in neurosurgery (2016)

OBJECTIVE Resection of focal brain lesions involves maximizing the resection while preserving brain function. Mapping brain function has entered a new era focusing on distributed connectivity networks at "rest," that is, in the absence of a specific task or stimulus, requiring minimal participant engagement. Central to this frame shift has been the development of methods for the rapid assessment of whole-brain connectivity with functional MRI (fMRI) involving blood oxygenation level-dependent imaging. The authors appraised the feasibility of fMRI-based mapping of a repertoire of functional connectivity networks in neurosurgical patients with focal lesions and the potential benefits of resting-state connectivity mapping for surgical planning. METHODS Resting-state fMRI sequences with a 3-T scanner and multiecho echo-planar imaging coupled to independent component analysis were acquired preoperatively from 5 study participants who had a right temporoparietooccipital glioblastoma. Seed-based functional connectivity analysis was performed with InstaCorr. Network identification focused on 7 major functional connectivity networks described in the literature and a putative language network centered on Broca's area. RESULTS All 8 functional connectivity networks were identified in each participant. Tumor-related topological changes to the default mode network were observed in all participants. In addition, each participant had at least 1 other abnormal network, and each network was abnormal in at least 1 participant. Individual patterns of network irregularities were identified with a qualitative approach and included local displacement due to mass effect, loss of a functional network component, and recruitment of new regions. CONCLUSIONS Resting-state fMRI can reliably and rapidly detect common functional connectivity networks in patients with glioblastoma and also has sufficient sensitivity for identifying patterns of network alterations. Mapping of functional connectivity networks offers the possibility to expand investigations to less commonly explored neuropsychological processes, such as executive control, attention, and salience. Changes in these networks may allow insights into mechanisms underlying the functional consequences of tumor growth, surgical intervention, and patient rehabilitation.
Concurrent chain extension and crosslinking of hydroxyl‐terminated poly(dimethyl siloxane): Possible formation of catenate structures (1986)

Abstract Difunctional and tetrafunctional ethoxysilanes in varying proportions were used to simultaneously chain‐extend and crosslink dihydroxyl‐terminated poly(dimethyl siloxane). When only dimethyl deithoxysilane was used an insoluble product, possibly a catenate, was formed. Its swelling behavior was equivalent to that of a tetrafunctional network obtained by end‐linking chains approximately twice as long as those actually used.
Synthesis of hierarchical three-dimensional copper oxide nanostructures through a biomineralization-inspired approach (2013)

Three-dimensional (3D) copper oxide (CuO) nanostructures were synthesized in a regenerated Bombyx mori silk fibroin aqueous solution at room temperature. In the synthesis process, silk fibroin served as the template and helped to form the hierarchical CuO nanostructures by self-assembly. Cu(OH)2 nanowires were formed initially, and then they transformed into almond-like CuO nanostructures with branched edges and a compact middle. The size of the final CuO nanostructures can be tuned by varying the concentration of silk fibroin in the reaction system. A possible mechanism has been proposed based on various characterization techniques, such as scanning and transmission electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, and thermogravimetric analysis. The synthesized CuO nanostructured material has been evaluated as an anode material for lithium ion batteries, and the result showed that they had a good electrochemical performance. The straightforward energy-saving method developed in this research may provide a useful preparation strategy for other functional inorganic materials through an environmentally friendly process.
Environmental Tobacco Smoke: A Hazard to Children (1997)

Results of epidemiologic studies provide strong evidence that exposure of children to environmental tobacco smoke is associated with increased rates of lower respiratory illness and increased rates of middle ear effusion, asthma, and sudden infant death syndrome. Exposure during childhood may also be associated with development of cancer during adulthood. This statement reviews the health effects of environmental tobacco smoke on children and offers pediatricians a strategy for promoting a smoke-free environment.
Radiolabeled Immunoglobulin Therapy in Patients with Hodgkin's Disease (2000)

Translational research supports the use of radiolabeled antiferritin for recurrent Hodgkin's disease. A 60% tumor response rate is obtained after treatment of out-patients with polyclonal radiolabeled antiferritin. Hodgkin's disease masses shrink after radiolabeled antiferritin treatment due to the radiation delivered by the radioimmunoconjugate. Unlabeled antiferritin does not cause tumor shrinkage. Hodgkin's disease provides unique opportunities for the development and optimization of radiolabeled immunoglobulin therapy for other malignancies as well. Radiolabeled Immunoglobulin Therapy is a useful addition to the cancer treatment armamentarium due to its high therapeutic ratio: high tumor response rates with side effects limited to hematopoetic tissues.
Image inpainting with prioritizing of hole's pixels (2012)

Image inpainting is one of the most widely used image processing techniques which removes an object from a picture or reconstructs images with lost parts. A method is presented in this article that takes a picture and the location that should be inpainted as the inputs and repair will be done automatically. To inpaint an image, first we obtain the border of holes, then we calculate the priority of border pixels and according to these priorities, the holes will be filled using the values and gradients of neighboring pixels. The proposed Algorithm runs as fast as image inpainting methods such as FMM and NS which restore images within a few seconds. This algorithm has been evaluated on sample images and satisfactory results have been achieved.
A grammatical framework for building rooftop extraction (2009)

Roof detection has been studied for several decades, one of the big challenge is its structure and appearance diversity. In this paper, we present a grammatical framework to account for these diversities and a multiple way compositional algorithm to extract rooftops from aerial images. We represent rooftops by a context sensitive graph grammar consisting of 5 production rules and 3 types of commonly shared quadrilateral primitives. Each production rule includes a number of equations that constrain the attributes of a parent node and those of its children. In addition, a set of horizontal links are defined between peer nodes at the same level that account for spatial/appearance constraints. The graph grammar produces a large number of valid configurations and can be used to represent the wide structural variability of rooftops. Our rooftop extraction algorithm starts with a lower level bottom-up step that generates hypothesis of quadrilateral primitives by grouping edgelets hierarchically into bigger structures (straight lines, parallel lines and junctions). The grouping process repeats multiple times following alternative paths to reduce missing detections caused by partial occlusion and/or background clutter. Then the higher level relations served as context for lower level elements evaluates each hypothesis according to the graph grammar model and prunes incompatible ones to arrive at an optimal solution.
Analyses Comparing the Antimicrobial Activity and Safety of Current Antiseptic Agents (2005)

This article reviews the results and conclusions from four pivotal and two comparative clinical trials. The six randomized, controlled, single-blinded, parallel-group clinical trials were conducted to determine which antiseptic is best for use as a patient preoperative skin preparation. The objective of these studies was to compare the immediate, persistent (residual), and cumulative antimicrobial efficacy and safety of 2% chlorhexidine gluconate (CHG) combined with 70% isopropyl alcohol (IPA) (ChloraPrep); another combination CHG and IPA antiseptic (CHG+IPA) and 2% aqueous CHG alone; 4% CHG (Hibiclens) alone; 70% isopropyl alcohol (IPA) alone; and an iodine-containing solution, 10% povidone-iodine (Betadine) alone as preoperative skin topical antiseptics for potential prevention of nosocomial infections.
Panoramic depth imaging with a single standard camera (2002)

In this article, we present a panoramic depth imaging system. The system is mosaic-based which means that we use a single rotating camera and assemble the captured images in a mosaic. Due to an offset of the camera's optical center from the rotational center of the system, we are able to capture the motion parallax effect which enables stereo reconstruction. The camera rotates on a circular path with the step defined by an angle equivalent to one column of the captured image. The equation for depth estimation can be easily extracted from the system geometry. To find the corresponding points on a stereo pair of panoramic images the epipolar geometry needs to be determined. We focused mainly on the system analysis. The system performs well in the reconstruction of small indoor spaces.
Synthesis, chemistry and applications of 5-hydroxymethyl-furfural and its derivatives (2001)

Later, in the 80's, two papers were published; Gaset et al 3 reviewed industrial methods of the preparation of HMF, Faury 4 dealt with newest chemical conversions of this compound.
Building one molecule from a reservoir of two atoms (2018)

Chemical reactions typically proceed via stochastic encounters between reactants. Going beyond this paradigm, we combined exactly two atoms in a single, controlled reaction. The experimental apparatus traps two individual laser-cooled atoms [one sodium (Na) and one cesium (Cs)] in separate optical tweezers and then merges them into one optical dipole trap. Subsequently, photoassociation forms an excited-state NaCs molecule. The discovery of previously unseen resonances near the molecular dissociation threshold and measurement of collision rates are enabled by the tightly trapped ultracold sample of atoms. As laser-cooling and trapping capabilities are extended to more elements, the technique will enable the study of more diverse, and eventually more complex, molecules in an isolated environment, as well as synthesis of designer molecules for qubits.

Moisture and Density Effect on Cone Index (1982)

ABSTRACT CONE index, a measure of the penetration resistance of a soil, is affected by many factors including soil density, moisture content, and soil type. The effect of each of these three variables on cone index was in-vestigated and discussed. Based on experimental data, an equation for cone index as a function of moisture con-tent and density was developed for each soil type considered.
Autonomic Neuropathy in Chronic Alcoholism: Evaluation of Cardiovascular, Pupillary and Sympathetic Skin Responses (1995)

Autonomic nerve function was evaluated in 30 alcoholics and 30 healthy subjects by means of cardiovascular function tests, pupil cycle time (PCT), and sympathetic skin responses (SSR). Nutritional status was assessed by anthropometric parameters. Autonomic cardiovascular dysfunction was classified as early involvement in 5 patients, definite in 8, severe in 6 and atypical in 3. PCT was abnormal in 17 alcoholics. The duration of PCT became progressively longer as the severity of cardiovascular involvement increased. SSR was absent in 4 alcoholics in the palm and in 16 in the sole. These findings indicate that sympathetic and parasympathetic mediated functions are abnormal in chronic alcoholics with a similar frequency, involving different sites of the autonomic nervous system under variable patterns. Significant correlations between nutritional status and autonomic neuropathy were found.
HoHoNet: 360 Indoor Holistic Understanding with Latent Horizontal Features (2020)

We present HoHoNet, a versatile and efficient framework for holistic understanding of an indoor 360-degree panorama using a Latent Horizontal Feature (LHFeat). The compact LHFeat flattens the features along the vertical direction and has shown success in modeling per-column modality for room layout reconstruction. HoHoNet advances in two important aspects. First, the deep architecture is redesigned to run faster with improved accuracy. Second, we propose a novel horizon-to-dense module, which relaxes the per-column output shape constraint, allowing per-pixel dense prediction from LHFeat. HoHoNet is fast: It runs at 52 FPS and 110 FPS with ResNet-50 and ResNet-34 backbones respectively, for modeling dense modalities from a high-resolution $512 \times 1024$ panorama. HoHoNet is also accurate. On the tasks of layout estimation and semantic segmentation, HoHoNet achieves results on par with current state-of-the-art. On dense depth estimation, HoHoNet outperforms all the prior arts by a large margin.
Decentralized Business Training: Case Interactive Networked Business Game (1999)

INTRODUCTIONThe competitive environment around most businesses and companies is changing withaccelerating speed. For example, competition is becoming world-wide, new products aredeveloped faster, new producing technologies are emerging, and new delivery channels areavailable. Organizations are in the midst of whole new challenges and are seeking for bettercompetitive position and productivity.There is a demand for the training methods to be able to describe the characteristic of therecent and future environment and to train the employees to be able to operate effectively andproductively in this turbulent environment. Regardless of the level of productivity improvementdesired, people as decision-makers and as responsible for task execution need to understandthoroughly what they are part of in order to be able to cope with every day tasks. While the worldaround businesses is changing with growing speed the business game processing methods arestill quite the same as 25 years ago.In the future the use of management games in learning will probably be at least as commonas today (Elgood, 1996): Technological development will certainly not slow down, and one willbe able to simulate more situations with greater realism and greater ease. …work will be seen asan activity that should be rewarding in itself, and enjoyable, and therefore something to whichgame-playing can reasonable be linked.Considering the recent developments there is a distinct demand for new training tools whichenable distributed, interactive, real-time learning. What is suggested here is that – compared tomore traditional business training – decentralized business game training and the use of Internettools could be in many ways a better practise in business training. While writing this paper theauthor is on the final phase of constructing such an interactive learning tool which will be used indecentralized business training.2. THE NEED FOR DISTANCE BUSINESS EDUCATIONAs organisations have converted to an information age economy, they have alsodecentralized their organisational power and authority (Hesse, 1995). This has lead to a situationwhere decision-making power is as near the front line of operations as possible. And this -together with the advances is communication technologies - has allowed organisations todecentralise themselves geographically. By decentralizing activities organisations aim to reducecomplexity, increase flexibility, improve efficiency, and create new strategic opportunities(Jackson and van der Wielen, 1998). These dispersed organisations are called virtualorganisations and are designed to overcome time-and-place constraints associated with rigidbureaucratic structures. What has emerged is a new type of organisation that often relies ontelework.
Definición de dificultades de la visión en la investigación sobre educación y empleo (2006)

This study revealed that exosomal GAP43, neurogranin, SNAP25, and synaptotagmin 1 act as effective biomarkers for prediction of AD 5 to 7 years before cognitive impairment.
Altered Tropomyosin Expression in Essential Hypertension (2003)

Abnormal erythrocyte sodium-lithium countertransport is common in a subgroup of patients with essential hypertension and a strong family history of hypertension and cardiovascular disease. We have previously shown that the abnormality in sodium-lithium countertransport is associated with tropomyosin, a cytoskeletal protein required to stabilize actin filament formation. Leukocyte trafficking events, which depend on cytoskeletal reorganization, are also altered in patients with essential hypertension with abnormal sodium-lithium countertransport. The aim of this study was to determine whether there is an abnormality in isoforms of tropomyosin that are common to erythrocytes and leukocytes. Analysis of reticulocyte RNA by reverse transcription (RT) and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) showed expression of TPMN and TPM5b isoforms of tropomyosin. No other isoforms were expressed. These isoforms were also detected in RNA from leukocytes. In patients with essential hypertension with abnormal erythrocyte sodium-lithium countertransport compared with normal control subjects, there was a higher TPMN/TPM5b ratio of protein in erythrocytes (median 3.8 [range 1.8 to 6.6] versus 2.9 [1.9 to 4.0], P<0.001) and of RNA in leukocytes (3.7 [1.7 to 8.2] versus 2.6 [1.2 to 4.3], P<0.01). Furthermore, the protein ratio of TPMN/TPM5b in erythrocytes showed significant correlation with the V(max)/K(m) ratio of sodium-lithium countertransport across the patient groups (r=-0.42; P<0.01). Therefore, altered tropomyosin expression may be the underlying abnormality associated with blood cell membrane changes in essential hypertension and implicates the cytoskeleton in the pathogenesis of the disease in a major subgroup of patients.
The<i>SPS100</i>Gene of<i>Saccharomyces cerevisiae</i>is Activated Late in the Sporulation Process and Contributes to Spore Wall Maturation (1988)

We previously described the use of a differential hybridization screen of a genomic DNA library of Saccharomyces cerevisiae to identify sporulation-specific (SPS) genes (A. Percival-Smith and J. Segall, Mol. Cell. Biol. 4:142-150, 1984). This initial screen identified 14 SPS genes that are first expressed 6 to 8 h after transfer of cells to sporulation medium. Accumulation of transcripts corresponding to these genes becomes maximal at 8 to 12 h of sporulation, the time at which meiotic events are nearing completion, and by 15 h of sporulation, transcript levels are beginning to decrease. In the present study two additional SPS genes, first expressed at 12 h of sporulation, were isolated. The steady-state level of transcripts corresponding to these two genes, termed SPS100 and SPS101, remains unchanged from 15 to 35 h, a time coincident with spore wall maturation. The nature of the putative 34.2-kilodalton protein encoded by the SPS100 gene is consistent with its being a component of the glycoprotein matrix of the spore wall; the protein contains a potential signal sequence and cleavage site and numerous sites for potential glycosylation. A MATa sps100/MAT alpha sps100 strain was found to be indistinguishable from the wild-type strain when assessed for efficiency of ascus formation and spore viability. However, a more detailed analysis of the mutant strain revealed that the SPS100 gene product serves a protective role during the early stages of spore wall formation. The time at which resistance to ether could first be detected in developing spores was delayed by 5 h in the mutant strain relative to the wild-type strain. This phenotype is presumably a reflection of a defect in spore wall maturation. This study has confirmed that temporally distinct classes of sporulation-specific genes are sequentially activated during the process of meiosis and spore formation and has shown that the SPS100 gene, identified on the basis of its developmental-specific expression pattern, contributes to spore development.
A Novel Multi label Text Classification Model using Semi supervised learning (2012)

Automatic text categorization (ATC) is a prominent research area within Information retrieval. Through this paper a classification model for ATC in multi-label domain is discussed. We are proposing a new multi label text classification model for assigning more relevant set of categories to every input text document. Our model is greatly influenced by graph based framework and Semi supervised learning. We demonstrate the effectiveness of our model using Enron , Slashdot , Bibtex and RCV1 datasets. Our experimental results indicate that the use of Semi Supervised Learning in MLTC greatly improves the decision making capability of classifier.
A biometric identification system based on eigenpalm and eigenfinger features (2005)

This paper presents a multimodal biometric identification system based on the features of the human hand. We describe a new biometric approach to personal identification using eigenfinger and eigenpalm features, with fusion applied at the matching-score level. The identification process can be divided into the following phases: capturing the image; preprocessing; extracting and normalizing the palm and strip-like finger subimages; extracting the eigenpalm and eigenfinger features based on the K-L transform; matching and fusion; and, finally, a decision based on the (k, l)-NN classifier and thresholding. The system was tested on a database of 237 people (1,820 hand images). The experimental results showed the effectiveness of the system in terms of the recognition rate (100 percent), the equal error rate (EER = 0.58 percent), and the total error rate (TER = 0.72 percent).
An optoelectrokinetic technique for programmable particle manipulation and bead-based biosignal enhancement (2014)

Technologies that can enable concentration of low-abundance biomarkers are essential for early diagnosis of diseases. In this study, an optoelectrokinetic technique, termed Rapid Electrokinetic Patterning (REP), was used to enable dynamic particle manipulation in bead-based bioassays. Various manipulation capabilities, such as micro/nanoparticle aggregation, translation, sorting and patterning, were developed. The technique allows for versatile multi-parameter (voltage, light intensity and frequency) based modulation and dynamically addressable manipulation with simple device fabrication. Signal enhancement of a bead-based bioassay was demonstrated using dilute biotin-fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC) solutions mixed with streptavidin-conjugated particles and rapidly concentrated with the technique. As compared with a conventional ELISA reader, the REP-enabled detection achieved a minimal readout of 3.87 nM, which was a 100-fold improvement in sensitivity. The multi-functional platform provides an effective measure to enhance detection levels in more bead-based bioassays.
