Dynamic Simulations of Multiple-Splat Spreading and Solidification (1997)

Abstract A high resolution numerical model has been developed to simulate the simultaneous spreading and solidification of single and multiple-splat on a cold substrate. The model combines the level set formulation with curvilinear adaptive finite volume scheme to predict the deforming shape of the splat's free surface as well as the solidification interface shape and dynamics. An adaptive grid generation captures the solidification front and the level set formulation allows the free surface deformation caused by merging and separation. Numerical results on spreading, merging and solidification of a single splat and two splats are presented to demonstrate the capability of the scheme. It also shows that this model can be extended to predict porosity in thermal spray coatings.
Thoracoscopic Sympathetic Clamping in a Patient With an Azygos Fissure (2005)

We believe that an azygos fissure may predispose to bleeding during thoracoscopic surgery. An azygos fissure causes important morphologic changes in the superior mediastinum and thereby poses a risk of massive bleeding during thoracoscopic procedures. We report on a successful thoracoscopic procedure conducted in a patient with palmar hyperhidrosis and an azygos fissure and emphasize that the course of the thoracic sympathetic chain runs laterally along the base of the azygos fissure.

A FRAMEWORK FOR THE DYNAMIC IMPLEMENTATION OF FINITE AUTOMATA FOR PERFORMANCE ENHANCEMENT (2005)

The aim of this work is to provide a model for the dynamic implementation of finite automata for enhanced performance. Investigations have shown that hardcoded finite automata outperforms the traditional table-driven implementation up to some threshold. Moreover, the kind of string being recognized plays a major role in the overall processing speed of the string recognizer. Various experiments are depicted to show when the advantages of using hardcoding as basis for implementing finite automata (instead of using the classical table-driven approach) become manifest. The model, a dynamic algorithm that combines both hardcoding and table-driven is introduced.
Mouse submaxillary gland renin contains a noncovalently attached fatty acid. (1983)

Renin A from the submaxillary gland of male mice has been shown by a gas chromatography/mass spectrometry method to contain near stoichiometric amounts of a fatty acid mixture. The fatty acids on mouse renin were partially exchangeable with free tridecanoic acid in solution, with the tridecanoic acid truly exchanged and not just adsorbed in addition to the fatty acids already present. A gas chromatography/mass spectrometry analysis of the composition of the free fatty acids of the submaxillary gland of male mice showed that the mixture of fatty acids extracted from the gland was significantly different from the mixture of free fatty acids extracted from renin A. The renin-extracted fatty acids were relatively richer in saturated fatty acids, like myristic and palmitic acids, and poorer in polyunsaturated fatty acids, like linoleic and arachidonic acid, than the free fatty acids of the gland. The enzymatic activity of mouse renin was markedly stimulated by saturated fatty acids in 50 mM sodium acetate, pH 5.38, in a concentration-dependent, saturable manner. Palmitic acid stimulated renin activity versus synthetic tetradecapeptide renin substrate about 7-fold in this buffer, with half-maximal stimulation at 14 microM. Stearic and myristic acids also showed good stimulation but linoleic acid and ethyl myristate were much less effective at the stimulation. A possible physiological role for the loss of renin activity at acid pH due to loss of bound fatty acids would be to protect the mouse against internalized renin.
Protein intake adequacy among Nigerian infants, children, adolescents and women and protein quality of commonly consumed foods (2020)

Protein is important for growth, maintenance and protection of the body. Both adequacy of protein quantity and protein quality in the diet are important to guarantee obtaining all the essential amino acids. Protein-energy malnutrition is widely present in developing countries such as Nigeria and might result in stunting and wasting. Needs for protein differ depending on age and physiological status and are higher during growth, pregnancy and lactation. The present review assessed protein quantity and quality in diets of Nigerian infants, children, adolescents, and pregnant and lactating women. Literature reviews and calculations were performed to assess adequacy of Nigerian protein intake and to examine the Nigerian diet. The digestible indispensable amino acid score was used to calculate protein quality of nine Nigerian staple foods and of a mixture of foods. The Nigerian population had mostly adequate protein intake when compared with the most recent protein recommendations by the FAO (2013) and WHO/FAO/UNU (2007). An important exception was the protein intake of adolescent girls and pregnant and lactating women. Most of the assessed Nigerian plant-based staple foods were of low protein quality and predominantly lacked the amino acid lysine. The addition of animal-source foods can bridge the protein quality gap created by predominance of plant-based foods in the Nigerian diet. The methodology of this review can be applied to other low- and middle-income countries where diets are often plant-based and lack variety, which might influence protein intake adequacy.
<sup>1</sup>H‐NMR spectroscopic study of the effect of aging vascular prostheses made of poly(ethylene terephthalate) on the macromolecular weight (2009)

Trichloroacetyl isocyanate reacts rapidly and quantitatively with both acid and hydroxyl chain ends to form derivatives that can be readily determined by (1)H-NMR spectroscopy. This method provides a convenient mean for characterization of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) end-groups. The (1)H-NMR spectroscopy has been applied to describe the chemical aging of the PET vascular prostheses by determination of the hydroxyl and carboxyl end-group concentrations and therefore the macromolecular weight. To validate (1)H-NMR results, we used chemical titration of the end-groups and classical viscosimetric method as complementary techniques. The analyses made on the explants of different lifetime demonstrated a significant deterioration compared with the virgin prostheses. A high degradation of macromolecular weight is observed. This phenomenon is explained by a random scission of the ester linkages.
Field Expulsion and Reconfiguration in Polaritonic Photonic Crystals (2003)

We uncover a rich set of optical phenomena stemming from the incorporation of polar materials exhibiting transverse phonon polariton excitations into a photonic crystal structure. We identify in the frequency spectrum two regimes in which the dielectric response of the polaritonic medium can induce extreme localization of the electromagnetic energy. Our analysis of the effect of polarization and the interaction between the polariton and photonic band gaps on the Bloch states leads to a pair of mechanisms for sensitive frequency-controlled relocation and/or reconfiguration of the fields.
StoryMakAR: Bringing Stories to Life With An Augmented Reality & Physical Prototyping Toolkit for Youth (2020)

Makerspaces can support educational experiences in prototyping for children. Storytelling platforms enable high levels of creativity and expression, but have high barriers of entry. We introduce StoryMakAR, which combines making and storytelling. StoryMakAR is a new AR-IoT system for children that uses block programming, physical prototyping, and event-based storytelling to bring stories to life. We reduce the barriers to entry for youth (Age=14-18) by designing an accessible, plug-and-play system through merging both electro-mechanical devices and virtual characters to create stories. We describe our initial design process, the evolution and workflow of StoryMakAR, and results from multiple single-session workshops with 33 high school students. Our preliminary studies led us to understand what students want to make. We provide evidence of how students both engage and have difficulties with maker-based storytelling. We also discuss the potential for StoryMakAR to be used as a learning environment for classrooms and younger students.

Alpha-Synuclein aggregate formation in oligodendroglia OLN-t40 cells stably transfected with alpha-Synuclein (2007)

Alpha-Synuclein (alpha-syn) is the major building block of cytoplasmic inclusions in neurodegenerative disorders named synucleinopathies, such as Parkinson's Disease and multiple system atrophy (MSA). In MSA glial cytoplasmic inclusions (GCIs) originating in oligodendrocytes are prominent. During disease progression a shift in alpha-syn solubility is observable, and oxidative modification of alpha-syn has been linked to neurodegeneration and fibril formation. Furthermore, an overlap of pathological features of patients with tauopathies, e.g. frontotemporal dementias including Pick's disease and progressive supranuclear palsy, has been reported, and it has been argued that alpha-syn aggregation can induce the fibrillization of tau.
AVEMAR (a new benzoquinone-containing natural product) administration interferes with the Th2 response in experimental SLE and promotes amelioration of the disease (2001)

The potential of oral treatment with AVEMAR (AVEMAR), a new benzoquinone-containing fermentation product of wheat germ, on features of experimental systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) in naive mice, induced by idiotypic manipulation, was studied. We assessed the effect of AVEMAR on the profile of autoantibody production and the response of Th1/Th2 related cytokines as well as the clinical picture of experimental SLE in the SLE-induced mice. When the product was given in the pre-immunization period, down-regulation of autoantibody production (anti-dsDNA, mouse 16/6 Id, and anti-histones) following treatment with AVEMAR was noted (eg anti-dsDNA decreased from 0.898+/-0.097 OD at 405 nm to 0.519+/-0.103 OD following treatment). This effect was sustained for at least 4 weeks after discontinuation of the therapy. Serological manifestations associated with a delay in Th2 response (IL-4 and IL-10) were recorded (eg IL-4 decreased from 91.7+/-8.11 to 59.55+/-7.78 ng/ml in splenocyte condition media). The mice showed normal ESR, WBC and less than 100 mg/dl of protein in the urine in comparison to > 300 mg/dl protein in the SLE non-treated mice. In conclusion, oral intake of AVEMAR can ameliorate the clinical manifestations of experimental SLE, via affecting the Th1/Th2 network inhibiting Th2 response.
Semi-supervised verified feedback generation (2016)

Students have enthusiastically taken to online programming lessons and contests. Unfortunately, they tend to struggle due to lack of personalized feedback. There is an urgent need of program analysis and repair techniques capable of handling both the scale and variations in student submissions, while ensuring quality of feedback.
Ball Bearing Vibration Analysis Including Localized and Distributed Defects (2003)

This study proposes the dynamic model of a deep groove ball bearing with six degrees of freedom. The model includes descriptions of non-linear Hertzian contact deformation and elastohydrodynamic fluid film. The geometry, material properties and diametral clearance of the bearing are given as the input to the proposed model. The bearing force and torque components are calculated from the relative displacements and velocities between bearing rings. Distributed defects such as the waviness of the inner and outer ring, and localized defects, such as inner and outer ring defects, are taken into consideration in the proposed model. The effect of the diametral clearance of the bearing on the natural frequencies and vibration response of the rotor bearing system is studied. The diametral clearance is found to have a significant effect on the level of vibration as well as on the natural frequencies. Low-order waviness, also known as out-of-roundness, is found to generate vibration at frequencies of the waviness order multiplied by the rotation speed. Localized defects in the inner and outer ring are found to generate vibrations at bearing defect frequencies. The simulation results are in line with the analytical and experimental results available in literature. The proposed ball bearing model could be used in the general multibody or rotor dynamics computer code as an interference element between the rotor and the housing.
The Prudhoe Bay Field: Simulation of a Complex Reservoir (1982)

ABSTRACT The Prudhoe Bay Field-Sadlerochit Reservoir presents many complexities which make reservoir simulation of this large oil accumulation difficult. The presence of major faults, the existence of large shale complexes, the enormous gas cap and associated coning of wells, and the heavy oil/tar mat could cause, even if each existed separately, major problems for a standard reservoir simulation model. This paper describes the techniques which were used by ARCO Oil and Gas to overcome these difficulties in modeling the Prudhoe Bay Field. Because of the large areal extent of the field, a unique grid in radial coordinates was used to reduce the number of grid cells to a manageable number. A new form of velocity-dependence was introduced into the gas/oil relative permeability and capillary pressure pseudo function relationships in order to more accurately model the gravity drainage and coning behavior in the field. A special pressure solution technique was developed to handle the extensive faults throughout the reservoir. Finally, an overall well and facility management routine was added to control the production/injection of the field and to give realism to the complex boundary conditions involved in these controls. Validation of the modeling techniques was carried out in small scale models, larger cross-sectional models, and finally through history matching of the field. These validations gave excellent results.
Lactate Kinetics During Submaximal Exercise in Humans (1988)

This review article examines the interpretation of blood lactate concentration during submaximal exercise in humans using carbon-labeled lactate tracers. This method allows one to estimate the rates of appearance and disappearance of lactate in the body. Recent studies in healthy young men demonstrated that there is approximately a three-fold increase in the rate of lactate entry into the circulation from rest to prolonged moderate-intensity exercise. The rate of lactate appearance increases significantly with submaximal exercise even in those individuals who do not have an elevated arterial lactate concentration. The rate of lactate appearance was twice as great for a given arterial lactate concentration during exercise compared with rest. The authors made similar measurements of lactate kinetics during a progressive, graded exercise test and observed that the rates of lactate appearance and disappearance increase as exponential functions of oxygen consumption. The arterial lactate concentration increases abruptly during a graded exercise test because the rate of lactate appearance outstrips the rate of lactate disappearance. Thus, caution should be used when inferring the rates of lactate appearance and disappearance solely from changes in blood lactate concentration.
Preliminary approaches to attention for social learning (2002)

In social learning, an individual benefits from interacting with its social environment, to acquire new competencies and skills. Social enhancement is a term used to classify all social influences on an individual’s performance. An example of this is stimulus enhancement, where one or more individuals, present in a learner’s environment, influence the learner’s probability of exposure to one set of stimuli rather than others. The learner can take advantage of these enhancements to further reduce the amount of input it has to deal with, by paying attention. Attention is a collection of mechanisms that determine the significance of stimuli. We argue that attention and stimulus enhancement can be used as tools for learning, and discuss their individual and mutual contributions to learning. We present two preliminary, statistical approaches to the modelling of attention, and point out several issues, problems, and possibilities for further work that arise.

Calcium and Growth Factor Pathways of c-<i>fos</i> Transcriptional Activation Require Distinct Upstream Regulatory Sequences (1988)

Transcription of the c-fos proto-oncogene is rapidly induced in the rat pheochromocytoma PC12 cell line by a wide variety of stimuli, including polypeptide growth factors, phorbol esters, and calcium ion fluxes. We have mapped the upstream sequence requirements for this activation in PC12 cells by analysis of promoter deletion mutants in a transient expression assay. Two distinct pathways of c-fos induction are defined that differ in their requirement for cis-acting DNA sequences. Calcium activation of c-fos transcription is dependent on a DNA element located approximately 60 base pairs upstream of the transcription start site. This region is highly conserved between human, mouse, and chicken c-fos genes and contains a sequence that resembles the consensus for a cyclic AMP response element. The dyad symmetry element at position -300, which is necessary for serum responsiveness of c-fos, appears to be unimportant for calcium activation of the gene. The dyad symmetry element is, however, an essential cis-acting sequence for c-fos inducibility by nerve growth factor, epidermal growth factor, fibroblast growth factor, and the phorbol ester 12-O-tetradecanoyl phorbol-13-acetate. Studies in vivo and in vitro with various mutants of the dyad symmetry element indicate that c-fos activation by polypeptide growth factors and 12-O-tetradecanoyl activation by polypeptide growth factors and 12-O-tetradecanoyl phorbol-13-acetate is mediated by a common transcription factor, and that this factor is identical to the previously described serum response factor. In vitro DNA-binding assays suggest that the quantity of serum response factor-binding activity remains unchanged during c-fos transcriptional activation.

Antitumor effect of polysaccharide grifolan NMF-5N on syngeneic tumor in mice. (1987)

Antitumor activity of grifolan NMF-5N, a beta-1,3-glucan obtained from mycelia of Grifola frondosa, was examined. Grifolan NMF-5N showed antitumor activities in allogeneic and syngeneic murine tumor systems. In the allogeneic tumor system, a potent antitumor activity over 95% was observed against the solid form of sarcoma 180 when grifolan NMF-5N was injected intraperitoneally (i.p.) at 25-200 micrograms/mouse daily for 10 successive days. In the syngeneic tumor systems, significant antitumor activities were observed against Meth A fibrosarcoma and MM 46 carcinoma by injection at 100 micrograms/mouse daily for 5 successive days, especially i.p. injection at day 7-11, when the tumor cells were inoculated subcutaneously (s.c.) on day 0. Moreover, when grifolan NMF-5N was injected i.p. every other week, significant antitumor activity was also observed. In addition, a single treatment with grifolan NMF-5N at 500 micrograms/mouse showed antitumor activities. Grifolan NMF-5N exhibited antitumor activities against these two syngeneic tumors by intraveneous (i.v.) injection. However, a marked inhibitory activity was observed by intratumorous (i.t.) injection against Meth A fibrosarcoma but not against MM46 carcinoma. These results suggest that antitumor activities of grifolan NMF-5N in murine syngeneic tumor systems depend on not only dosage but also injection routes and timing.
DEVELOPMENT OF SPACE SYNTAX BASED URBAN ANALYSIS SOFTWARE USING GIS DATA (2010)

Although both involve spatial data, relationship between GIS and Space Syntax software has not been well researched and using GIS data for Space Syntax analyses has not been an easy operation. In this research, newly developed software, “PASTA”, which uses GIS data for Space Syntax analyses, is developed. PASTA is segment-analysis-based software and axial analysis can also be performed with automatically generated axial maps. PASTA handles both shape data and table data to makes full use of GIS data. Besides, the result is compared to hand-drawn axial map to clarify characteristics and problems of using GIS data for spatial analysis.
