Nme protein family evolutionary history, a vertebrate perspective (2009)

This work offers an evolutionary framework that will pave the way for future studies on vertebrate Nme proteins and provides a unified vertebrate Nme nomenclature that is consistent with the nomenclature in use in mammals. Based on protein structure and expression data, we also provide new insight into molecular functions of Nme proteins among vertebrates and raise intriguing questions on the roles of Nme proteins in gonads.

Performance of optimum transmitter power control in cellular radio systems (1992)

Most cellular radio systems provide for the use of transmitter power control to reduce cochannel interference for a given channel allocation. Efficient interference management aims at achieving acceptable carrier-to-interference ratios in all active communication links in the system. Such schemes for the control of cochannel interference are investigated. The effect of adjacent channel interference is neglected. As a performance measure, the interference (outage) probability is used, i.e., the probability that a randomly chosen link is subject to excessive interference. In order to derive upper performance bounds for transmitter power control schemes, algorithms that are optimum in the sense that the interference probability is minimized are suggested. Numerical results indicate that these upper bounds exceed the performance of conventional systems by an order of magnitude regarding interference suppression and by a factor of 3 to 4 regarding the system capacity. The structure of the optimum algorithm shows that efficient power control and dynamic channel assignment algorithms are closely related.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>
Tolerance of the Liver to Intermittent Pringle Maneuver in Hepatectomy for Liver Tumors (1999)

The cutoff point of accumulated ischemic time that induced substantial liver damage, as shown by the postoperative recovery rate of the AKBR, was found to be 120 minutes. Compared with the control group, the patients whose accumulated ischemic time was shorter than 120 minutes had less blood loss related to transection area (10 mL/cm2 vs 22 mL/cm2; P<.001), less blood transfused (0 L vs 0.6 L; P = .004), a shorter transection time related to transection area (2.0 min/cm2 vs 2.8 min/ cm2; P = .002), a significantly higher AKBR in the first 2 hours after liver transection, an equal recovery rate of the AKBR, and a comparable increase of the plasma level of IL-6 postoperatively. For the patients whose accumulated ischemic time was longer than 120 minutes, blood loss from the transection area was less than for the control group (14 mL/cm2 vs 22 mL/cm2; P<.05), but the transection time related to the transection area and the blood transfusion volume did not differ from those of the control group. Furthermore, they had a significantly lower recovery rate of the AKBR and higher plasma levels of IL-6 postoperatively than the control group.
Irradiation-induced densification of cluster-assembled thin films (2009)

The growth and modification of nanocluster-assembled thin films were studied using molecular-dynamics simulations. Porous thin films of copper were grown through sequential deposition of $50\text{ }{\text{Cu}}_{711}$ nanoclusters on a Cu (100) substrate. Irradiation of these films with Xe and Au ions, at energies ranging 5--30 keV, was then carried out with the aim of increasing their density. Results show that heavy-ion irradiation can successfully be used in the densification of initially underdense thin films. With ion ranges tuned to the thickness of the thin films, densities approaching that of bulk copper were achieved at fluences as low as $50\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}{10}^{12}\text{ }\text{ions}/{\text{cm}}^{2}$. Densification was caused by local melting in individual clusters and the resulting viscous flow of atoms into voids within the films. Nanocrystallinity was preserved as recrystallization occurred according to crystal orientations of the pre-existing clusters.

Design and Implement of Warehouse Management System Based on AOP (2006)

Warehouse management system (WMS) is the answer to reducing inventory cost and improving degree of customer satisfaction, which means a great deal to enterprises. With the competition of logistic industry becoming severe, the need of promoting performance of WMS increases rapidly. This paper discusses the design and implement of WMS based on aspect oriented programming (AOP), which simplifies its system structure, increases its agility, expansibility and maintainability by reengineering business logic, and thus adapts itself well to current warehouse management. We also describes how AOP was applied and how does it work in our system through an example of stocking in. Applying AOP to WMS benefits to solve some existing problems in current WMS, for example complex structure, poor maintenance and poor adaptation.
Efficacy of new organic ammonium salts on Pseudomonas aeruginosa Salmonella typhimurium. (1995)

The inhibitory activities of four new homologous series of organic ammonium salts (OAS) were tested on bacterial strains isolated from patients. Two types of compounds are used: "hard" (group A) and three groups (B, C, D) of biodegradable "soft" OAS with metabolically labile CO or NH groups in their molecules. The strain Pseudomonas aeruginosa was isolated from the sputum of a patient with carcinoma. The strain Salmonella typhimurium was isolated from a patient with clinical diagnosis of diarrhea. In all homologous series, the antibacterial activity was increasing continuously with the length of alkyl chain up to dodecyl or tetradecyl, then the "cut off" effect was observed. The most active compounds from both "hard" and "soft" types had superior activity to commercial disinfectants. The strain of Pseudomonas aeruginosa was more sensitive to these compounds than that of Salmonella typhimurium.
A comparison of the efficacy of different disinfection methods in eliminating <i>Salmonella</i> contamination from turkey houses (2010)

This study shows that disinfectants containing a mixture of formaldehyde, glutaraldehyde and QAC perform significantly better under field conditions than oxidising products and should therefore be the first choice for disinfection of turkey premises where Salmonella is present.

Can Smart Cards Reduce Payments Fraud and Identity Theft (2008)

In the United States, when a consumer presents a payment to a merchant, the merchant typically makes a request for authorization before accepting the payment. Personal information, such as an account number, address, or telephone number, are often enough to initiate a payment. A serious weakness of this system is that criminals who obtain the correct personal information can impersonate an honest consumer and commit payments fraud. ; A key to improving security-and reducing payments fraud-might be payment smart cards. Payment smart cards have an embedded computer chip that encrypts messages to aid authorization. If properly configured, payment smart cards could provide direct benefits to consumers, merchants, banks, and others. These groups would be less vulnerable to the effects of fraud and the cost of fraud prevention would fall. Smart cards could also provide indirect benefits to society by allowing a more efficient payment system. Smart cards have already been adopted in other countries, allowing a more secure payments process and a more efficient payments system. ; Sullivan explores why smart cards have the potential to provide strong payment authorization and thus put a substantial dent into the problems of payments fraud and identity theft. But adopting smart cards in the United States faces some significant challenges. First, the industry must adopt payment smart cards and their new security standards. Second, card issuers and others in the payments industry must agree on the specific forms of security protocols used in smart cards. In both steps the industry must overcome market incentives that can impede the adoption of payment smart cards or limit the strength of their security.
Aldehyde dehydrogenase in 2-acetaminofluorene-induced rat hepatomas. Ontogeny and evidence that the new isoenzymes are not due to normal gene de-repression (1977)

The pre- and post-natal ontogeny of Sprague-Dawley rat liver aldehyde dehydrogenase [aldehyde-NAD(P)(+) oxidoreductase, EC 1.2.1.5] is described. At no time in its ontogenetic development does normal liver aldehyde dehydrogenase exhibit any of the characteristics of a series of unique aldehyde dehydrogenases that can be isolated from 2-acetamidofluorene-induced rat hepatomas. Enzyme activity is first detectable in 15-day foetal liver and gradually increases throughout pre- and post-natal development until adult activities are attained by day 49 after birth. Electrophoretically, normal aldehyde dehydrogenase, throughout its ontogeny, exists as the same single isoenzyme found in normal adult liver. Isoelectric points for two normal liver isoenzymes demonstrable by isoelectric focusing are pH5.9 and 6.0. The immunochemical properties of aldehyde dehydrogenase during its ontogeny are identical with those of normal adult liver aldehyde dehydrogenase when tested against anti-(hepatoma aldehyde dehydrogenase) serum in Ouchterlony double-diffusion tests. The results indicate that the hepatoma-specific aldehyde dehydrogenases are not the result of the de-repression of genes normally repressed in adult rat liver or in some other adult tissue.
Citation sources in Michigan Supreme Court opinions. (1998)

The case citation is a precise method of marshaling legal arguments in ajudicial opinion. It should be utilized more effectively in full text on-line legal databases as a means of tracking the chains of reasoning used in legal decision making and of improving the effectiveness of case law retrieval. Conventional text retrieval systems are based on inverted word files and provide generic indexing, not contextually related concepts. It is difficult to predict what words a legal writer will used to describe application of a legal rule. The command languages require translating a query from natural language into a formal structure and are difficult for the inexperienced or inexperienced user. The Boolean search does not weight search terms, and it retrieves an unordered set of documents which often contains too many documents for the relevant ones to be identified in a reasonable amount of the searcher's time. This dissertation uses citation analysis in a set of state law cases to determine whether certain predictable patterns of citation practice can be identified which link sets of related documents. It recommends improvements in retrieval and search features available on full-text legal database systems. In order to test the use of contextual citation analysis in case law retrieval, a specific field of law was chosen. An exemplar case, recognized as a leading precedent case with a longer than average subsequent citation history, was compared to above and below average law cases to test normative theories of how case citations are used in judicial opinions. Results indicate that recognized parameters of case law citation such as jurisdiction of court, level of court, age of citation, co-citation, and number of citations near the cited case can be useful for weighting retrieval output.

Simulation and sensitivity of linear analog circuits under parameter variations by Robust interval analysis (1999)

An interval-mathematic approach is presented for frequency-domain simulation and sensitivity analysis of linear analog circuits under parameter variations. With uncertain parameters represented as intervals, bounding frequency-domain responses is formulated as the problem of solving systems of linear interval equations. The formulation is based on a variant of modified nodal analysis, and is particularly amenable to interval analysis. Some characterization of the solution sets of systems of linear interval equations are derived. With these characterizations, an elegant and efficient algorithm is proposed to solve systems of linear interval equations. While the widely used Monte Carlo approach requires many circuit simulations to achieve even moderate accuracy, the computational cost of the proposed approach is about twice that of one circuit simulation. The computed response bounds contain provably, or are usually very close to, the actual response bounds. Further, sensitivity under parameter variations can be computed from the response bounds at minor computational cost. The algorithms are implemented in SPICE3F5, using sparse-matrix techniques and tested on several practical analog circuits.
Molecular biology of the blood-brain and the blood-cerebrospinal fluid barriers: similarities and differences (2011)

Efficient processing of information by the central nervous system (CNS) represents an important evolutionary advantage. Thus, homeostatic mechanisms have developed that provide appropriate circumstances for neuronal signaling, including a highly controlled and stable microenvironment. To provide such a milieu for neurons, extracellular fluids of the CNS are separated from the changeable environment of blood at three major interfaces: at the brain capillaries by the blood-brain barrier (BBB), which is localized at the level of the endothelial cells and separates brain interstitial fluid (ISF) from blood; at the epithelial layer of four choroid plexuses, the blood-cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) barrier (BCSFB), which separates CSF from the CP ISF, and at the arachnoid barrier. The two barriers that represent the largest interface between blood and brain extracellular fluids, the BBB and the BCSFB, prevent the free paracellular diffusion of polar molecules by complex morphological features, including tight junctions (TJs) that interconnect the endothelial and epithelial cells, respectively. The first part of this review focuses on the molecular biology of TJs and adherens junctions in the brain capillary endothelial cells and in the CP epithelial cells. However, normal function of the CNS depends on a constant supply of essential molecules, like glucose and amino acids from the blood, exchange of electrolytes between brain extracellular fluids and blood, as well as on efficient removal of metabolic waste products and excess neurotransmitters from the brain ISF. Therefore, a number of specific transport proteins are expressed in brain capillary endothelial cells and CP epithelial cells that provide transport of nutrients and ions into the CNS and removal of waste products and ions from the CSF. The second part of this review concentrates on the molecular biology of various solute carrier (SLC) transport proteins at those two barriers and underlines differences in their expression between the two barriers. Also, many blood-borne molecules and xenobiotics can diffuse into brain ISF and then into neuronal membranes due to their physicochemical properties. Entry of these compounds could be detrimental for neural transmission and signalling. Thus, BBB and BCSFB express transport proteins that actively restrict entry of lipophilic and amphipathic substances from blood and/or remove those molecules from the brain extracellular fluids. The third part of this review concentrates on the molecular biology of ATP-binding cassette (ABC)-transporters and those SLC transporters that are involved in efflux transport of xenobiotics, their expression at the BBB and BCSFB and differences in expression in the two major blood-brain interfaces. In addition, transport and diffusion of ions by the BBB and CP epithelium are involved in the formation of fluid, the ISF and CSF, respectively, so the last part of this review discusses molecular biology of ion transporters/exchangers and ion channels in the brain endothelial and CP epithelial cells.
Interactions of Antimicrobial Drugs and Combined Phagocytic/Serum Bactericidal Activity of Defibrinated Human Blood against <i>Serratia marcescens</i> (1983)

Neither cefoperazone, cefotaxime, mezlocillin nor piperacillin significantly killed intraphagocytic bacteria of representative assay strains of Serratia marcescens, as determined with 55 vol% of fresh defibrinated human blood treated with 2 mg/ml of phenylbutazone, which permitted phagocytic ingestion of bacteria, but selectively inhibited the microbicidal activity of peripheral blood leukocytes. Extraphagocytic bacteria were killed with group A (phage tail) bacteriocins of S. marcescens. However, minimal bactericidal concentrations of fosfomycin displayed intraphagolysosomal bactericidal activity which approximated that of rifampin. Inhibitory and subinhibitory concentrations of cefoperazone, cefotaxime, fosfomycin, mezlocillin, and piperacillin combined with 55 vol% of defibrinated human blood, respectively, yielded additive effects against all test strains of S. marcescens utilized and Escherichia coli control strain ATCC 25922.
<i>Automated Repair Service Bureau</i>: Software Tools and Components (1982)

Complex software systems can be built from components, where a component is a software entity that performs one type of function in a general, usually table-driven, way. If the components are defined well and a standard interface is provided between them, the resulting product is flexible. It is easy to understand and easy to change. The performance of the system is a function of that of the components. The new Loop Maintenance Operations System Front End (LMOS-2) is a transaction processing system developed in this way. The components, described in this article, are a mask handler, a data validator, a database management system and a transaction-oriented filing system. Transactions are written in a high-level language designed for the purpose. The LMOS-2 system runs on the UNIX∗ operating system. The desired flexibility properties have been realized and have produced important benefits in the course of LMOS-2 development. Moreover, with considerable attention to the performance characteristics of the components, a system has been produced which is as fast and efficient as its predecessor, coded mostly in assembly language.

This Viewpoint uses CDC data to compare the COVID-19 mortality rate in 2020 with prior leading causes of death (heart disease, cancer, lung disease, and injury) to put into context the cost of the infection in loss of life in the United States.
Mitochondrial growth and DNA synthesis occur in the absence of nuclear DNA replication in fission yeast (1990)

Cell growth and division require the doubling of cellular constituents followed by their equal distribution to the two daughter cells. Within a growing population, the ratio of mitochondrial to cellular volume is maintained, as is the number of mitochondrial genomes per cell. The mechanisms responsible for coordinating nuclear and mitochondrial DNA synthesis, and for balancing increases in cell and mitochondrial size are not well understood. In studies of the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe we quantified cellular and mitochondrial DNA content by both Southern blot analysis and flow cytometry of cells stained with a variety of DNA-binding fluorochromes, which we show are able to detect nuclear and mitochondrial DNA with different efficiencies. In the conditional cell division cycle mutant cdc10, which is unable to initiate nuclear DNA synthesis, we found that there was an increase in the mitochondrial DNA content in the absence of nuclear DNA replication. This demonstrates that mitochondrial and nuclear DNA synthesis are not obligately linked. We also show that mitochondrial DNA replication is not required for the increase in mitochondrial size that occurs as cells elongate, although this results in a decrease in the ratio of mitochondrial DNA to mitochondrial volume.
Development of Sucrose and Citric Acid as the Natural based Admixture for Fly Ash based Geopolymer (2013)

Geopolymer is the state of the art binder in concrete technology. It utilizes alkaline solution to activate alumina and silica precursors from source material and forms aluminosilicate-based binding material. Nevertheless, the presence of high calcium content in the source material can reduce the performance of geopolymer binder, particularly in terms of its workability performance. The available commercial admixture cannot provide significant improvement to the rapid setting time generated by high calcium in geopolymer system. This research studied the effect of sucrose and citric acid as the proposed natural admixture in fly ash based geopolymer binder. Based on Vicat setting time result, these materials behave oppositely in fly ash-based geopolymer paste. Sucrose tends to increase the setting time of geopolymer paste, while citric acid has an accelerating effect. An unexpected trend is also shown from the relation between porosity and compressive strength of hardened specimen. It appears that the rapid production of geopolymer gels to fill the water-filled voids was not followed by the quality of gel structure. However, these results have presented an encouraging prospect for natural-based material to be developed as the admixture for geopolymer concrete.
Treatment-related symptom severity and occurrences among oncology adults in Australia (2015)

Nurses in oncology settings are uniquely placed to assess patients' therapy-related symptoms that will assist them to target education to cancer patients' individual needs. For all types of cancer, it is important to assess treatment-related symptoms and to provide the most appropriate interventions in consideration to the patients' preferences.
