Noise activated automatic volume control (1970)

Communications operators who must use receivers in a noisy audio environment without earphones are plagued by the effect of a varying background noise level. Often the operators are simultaneously performing other tasks thus can only monitor voice circuits. As the noise level varies the operator must repeatedly adjust the volume control for a comfortable listening level. An analysis of the physical situation is presented. An automatic feedback control system that measures the predominate range of frequencies of the background noise and automatically adjust the volume control of a power amplifier for a satisfactory listening level is developed. This system relieves the operator of the task of manual volume control and reduces the effect of noise masking.

生长猪的营养：根据生长情况和环境条件进行日粮设计（续完） (2001)

生长猪对环境气温的反应 猪是温血动物,它们能适应其所处的气候环境而维持自身的体温.幼猪(＜30千克)的最适气温为22～24℃,其后大部分生长育肥阶段中的最适气温为20～22℃(Noblet等,2000).在自由采食的情况下,生长猪会在气温低于最适温度时增加采食量,而在气温高于最适温度时降低其采食量.低温下的高采食量能使猪保持体重增长,而在高温下则猪的生长会受到严重影响(见表6和表7).饲料报酬在低温下会降低,而在高温下并不明显下降.
Collective effects in condensed conducting phases including low-dimensional systems (1995)

Abstract Naturally occurring materials such as some intercalation compounds, manmade semiconductor structures, and models are all brought to bear on the characterization of collective excitations in conducting condensed phases, including low-dimensional systems. In turn, plasmons, phonons plus electron-phonon collective effects, phase changes especially in relation to metal-non-metal transitions, and Luttinger liquids are considered. For plasmons and phonons, quite a wealth of experimental data on both metals and semiconductors now exist and, in selected areas, are brought into contact both with ab initio calculations and with theoretical models. For the latter, in addition to studies by many-body techniques, ‘experiment’ is invoked, but now in the form of computer simulation. This has played an especially important role in understanding Wigner electron solid formation quantitatively. Some attention is given also to metal-non-metal transitions in organic conductors, and the influence of directional chemical bonding in quite a number of the areas reviewed is stressed.
Mode of inhibition of tumor cell ribonucleotide reductase by 2,3-dihydro-1H-pyrazolo[2,3-a]imidazole (NSC 51143). (1980)

2,3-Dihydro-1H-pyrazolo[2,3-a]imidazole (NSC 51143; IMPY) inhibits partially purified ribonucleotide reductase from Ehrlich tumor cells. Both cytidine 5'-diphosphate and adenosine 5'-diphosphate reductase activities were inhibited by IMPY, although adenosine 5'-diphosphate reductase activity was inhibited to a greater extent than was cytidine 5'-diphosphate reductase activity at all concentrations of IMPY studied. The inhibition of the intact enzyme by IMPY could be reversed by the addition of the exogenous non-heme iron-containing subunit (tris(hydroxymethyl)aminomethane fraction) but not by the addition of the effector-binding subunit. Further, the inhibition of the intact enzyme or the tris(hydroxymethyl)aminomethane fraction by IMPY could be reversed by the addition of 6 microM Fe(NH4)2(SO4)2, and the inhibition of IMPY could be potentiated by 0.167 mM ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid. These results demonstrate that IMPY inhibits tumor cell nucleotide reductase by interaction with the iron of the non-heme iron-containing subunit.
Electrical Properties of Silicon Nanowire Fabricated by Patterning and Oxidation Process (2012)

We are reporting electrical properties of Si nanowire field-effect transistors with a Schottky barrier formed at the electrodes. The channel widths are varied using a top-down process of electron-beam patterning followed by surface oxidation from a few micrometers to the sub-10-nm level. The field-effect mobility increases gradually with decreasing channel width to 20 nm. On the other hand, the mobility decreases drastically when the channel width is smaller than 20 nm. The mobility enhancement is attributed to the stress build up during the oxidation of nanowire, while the drastic mobility degradation observed below a 20-nm linewidth is attributed to the surface scattering of electrons caused by the high surface/volume ratio of nanowire. The highest mobility value was obtained at a 20-nm linewidth with a value of ∼1270 cm <formula formulatype="inline" xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"><tex Notation="TeX">$^2$</tex></formula> /Vs.

Studies on Lotus Seed Protease (1971)

Some physicochemical and enzymic properties of the purified lotus seed protease were investigated. The molecular weight determined from sedimentation-diffusion studies and by Sephadex G-100 gel-filtration was 36800 and 35500, respectively. The enzyme gave a typical ultraviolet spectrum of protein and its isoelectric point was found to be in a range of pH 3_??_4. The enzyme was stabilized at pH 6 in Tris-hydrochloric acid buffer by the addition of cupric ion. The inhibitory function of some reagents, especially that of potassium permanganate, and acetylation of the enzyme revealed that the tyosine residue in this enzyme protein might play some important role in the enzyme activity. Lotus seed protease was found to be fairly similar to pepsin in some properties.

A high frequency African coding polymorphism in the N-terminal domain of ICAM-1 predisposing to cerebral malaria in Kenya (1997)

The malarial parasite Plasmodium falciparum has acted as a potent selective force on the human genome. The particular virulence of this organism is thought to be due to the adherence of parasitised red blood cells to small vessel endothelium through several receptors, including CD36, thrombospondin and intercellular adhesion molecule 1 (ICAM-1, CD54), and parasite isolates differ in their ability to bind to each. Immunohistochemical studies have implicated ICAM-1 as of potential importance in the pathogenesis of cerebral malaria, leading us to reason that if any single receptor were involved in the development of cerebral malaria, then in view of the high mortality of that complication, natural selection should have produced variants with reduced binding capacity. We therefore sequenced the N-terminal domain of ICAM-1 from a number of Africans and discovered a single mutation present at high frequency. Genotypes at this locus from samples from a case-control study indicated an association of the polymorphism with the severity of clinical malaria such that individuals homozygous for the mutation have increased susceptibility to cerebral malaria with a relative risk of two. These counterintuitive results have implications for the mechanism of malaria pathogenesis, resistance to other infectious agents and transplantation immunology.
Inheritance of resistance to angular leaf spot ( <i>Pseudomonas syringae</i> pv. <i>lachrymans</i> ) in cucumber and identification of molecular markers linked to resistance (2008)

Angular leaf spot is a common disease of cucumber ( Cucumis sativus ) caused by Pseudomonas syringae pv. lachrymans . Genetics of resistance to this disease was investigated using two sets of parameters: (i) disease severity, i.e. the number and size of necrotic and chlorotic lesions on the infected leaves, and (ii) presence or absence of a chlorotic halo around the necrotic spots on the infected leaves. Disease severity appears to be controlled by multiple genes and the heritability of the resistance was estimated to be 53%. The presence or absence of the chlorotic halo was determined to be governed by a single gene, with the presence of the halo (the susceptible phenotype) being a dominant character. A RAPD marker linked to the gene conferring the chlorotic halo was identified. Genetic distance between this marker, OP‐AO07, a polymorphic 420 bp amplicon in the DNA of the susceptible plants, and the locus encoding the chlorotic halo was estimated to be 13 cM.
Using Salton Sea Geothermal brines for electrical power: A review of progress in chemistry and materials technology - 1976 Status (1977)

Geothermal energy development research at the Lawrence Livermore Laboratory through 1976 has been aimed at solving the problems associated with the use of high-temperature, high-salinity brines found in the Salton Sea Geothermal Field for their practical conversion to electrical energy. Specifically, part of the program has been oriented toward solving the problems of scale and solids deposition and corrosion of system components that are exposed to the highly mineralized brines. Brine acidification was found to be a promising method for controlling scale and solids deposition. Titanium, zirconium, and chromium-molybdenum alloys were shown to be the best economical corrosion-resistant materials for use in various parts of a total-flow turbine system. Scale and solids control and materials tests for conversion systems based on brine flashing are currently being evaluated. Some initial results and test plans are discussed.
Prior exposure to lipopolysaccharide potentiates expression of plant defenses in response to bacteria (2002)

Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) is a ubiquitous component of Gram-negative bacteria which has a number of diverse biological effects on eukaryotic cells. In contrast to the large body of work in mammalian and insect cells, the effects of LPS on plant cells have received little attention. LPS can induce defense-related responses in plants, but in many cases these direct effects are weak. Here we have examined the effects of prior inoculation of LPS on the induction of plant defense-related responses by phytopathogenic xanthomonads in leaves of pepper (Capsicum annuum). The resistance of pepper to incompatible strains of Xanthomonas axonopodis pv. vesicatoria or to X. campestris pv. campestris is associated with increased synthesis of the hydroxycinnamoyl-tyramine conjugates, feruloyl-tyramine (FT) and coumaroyl-tyramine (CT). FT and CT are produced only in trace amounts in response to compatible strains of X. axonopodis pv. vesicatoria. Treatment of leaves with LPS from a number of bacteria did not induce the synthesis of FT and CT but altered the kinetics of induction upon subsequent bacterial inoculation. In incompatible interactions FT and CT synthesis was accelerated, whereas in compatible interactions synthesis was also considerably enhanced. The ability of the tissue to respond more rapidly was induced within 4 h of LPS treatment and the potentiated state was maintained for at least 38 h. Earlier treatment with LPS also potentiated the expression of other defense responses such as transcription of genes encoding acidic beta-1,3-glucanase. Our findings indicate a wider role for LPS in plant-bacterial interactions beyond its limited activity as a direct inducer of plant defenses.
Evaluation of Experimental Autoimmune Uveitis in Mice Treated with FTY720 (2010)

The data showed that treatment in vivo with FTY720 was able to suppress EAU in mice. These results are indicative of the possible therapeutic use of FTY720 in ocular autoimmune processes.
New Developments for the NWTC's FAST Aeroelastic HAWT Simulator (2004)

Discrepancies in response predictions among FAST, ADAMS, and other industry-accepted wind turbine analysis codes led the National Renewable Energy Laboratory to dedicate significant time and effort to overhauling its FAST aeroelastic horizontal-axis wind turbine simulator. Included in the overhaul were improvements to the system dynamics models and upgrades in functionality. Improvements were made to the drive train dynamics models, output processing algorithms, tower and blade deflection characterizations, and other models. New features include an enhanced input/output environment, aeroacoustic noise prediction algorithms, periodic linearization routines for controls design, as well as a preprocessing utility that enables FAST to generate ADAMS datasets of wind turbine models. In order to verify that the new features and improved models included in the upgraded FAST were correct, verification tests were run against ADAMS. Comparisons of response predictions between the codes, in general, show excellent agreement. Regions where the different response predictions do not exactly coalesce are attributable to differences in the modeling techniques. This work has culminated in an upgraded version of FAST, equipped with more functionality, that predicts more accurate wind turbine responses than previous versions.
Genetic counselling in retinoblastoma: importance of ocular fundus examination of first degree relatives and linkage analysis. (1991)

We report an unusual family pedigree segregating the retinoblastoma predisposition gene. Expression of the phenotype in different individuals in this family ranges from asymptomatic gene carriers, regressed tumours, through unifocal to bilateral multifocal lesions. Because of the unusual pattern of inheritance in this family, initial genetic counselling at a local hospital did not take into account the possibility of incomplete penetrance of the gene, and complete ophthalmological examination of unaffected family members was not undertaken. We have used DNA probes from within the retinoblastoma predisposition gene for unequivocal identification of gene carriers. The subsequent demonstration of regressed tumours in founder members of the family confirmed the diagnosis of a dominantly inherited disease. The circumstances of the management of this family emphasises the need for specialist ophthalmic examination of first degree relatives and detailed genetic analysis of all such families with DNA probes.
From isolated tenancy hosted application to multi-tenancy: Toward a systematic migration method for web application (2010)

Software as a Service (SaaS) attracts small and medium enterprises by its low investment, flexibility and easy to manage. Migrating isolated tenancy hosted web application toward SaaS application can reuse the legacy software assets and cut down the re-development cost and risk. Since multi-tenant is a prime characteristic of SaaS, migrating to multi-tenancy is the prerequisite step of migrating to SaaS. However, it is a hard task complicated by the lack of appropriate migration approaches and tools. In this paper, a systematic method is proposed to migrate and evolve isolated tenancy hosted applications into multi-tenant enabled applications from aspects of data model, access control and tenant management, taking into account both the business needs and technical contents. An experiment has been conducted to tune the approach and evaluate applicability and performance impact of our migration method.

Exploiting devops practices for dependable and secure continuous delivery pipelines (2018)

Continuous delivery (CD) pipelines recently gained wide adoption. They provide means for short and high-frequent development cycles in DevOps by automating many steps after a commit has been issued and bringing it into production. CD pipelines have become essential for development and delivery. Hence, they are crucial and business-critical assets that need to be protected from harm in terms of dependability and security. DevOps practices like canary releasing and A/B testing aim to improve the quality of the software that is built by CD pipelines while keeping a high pace of development. Although CD is a part of DevOps, the DevOps practices have primarily been applied to the artifacts that are processed but not on the pipelines themselves. We outline our vision of using these DevOps practices to improve the dependability and security of CD pipelines. The goal is to detect, diagnose, and resolve dependability and security issues in the CD pipeline behavior. In this paper, we outline our envisioned roadmap and preliminary results from an ongoing industrial case study.
Use of Embryos Extracted from Individual <i>Cannabis sativa</i> Seeds for Genetic Studies and Forensic Applications (2015)

Legal limits on the psychoactive tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) content in Cannabis sativa plants have complicated genetic and forensic studies in this species. However, Cannabis seeds present very low THC levels. We developed a method for embryo extraction from seeds and an improved protocol for DNA extraction and tested this method in four hemp and six marijuana varieties. This embryo extraction method enabled the recovery of diploid embryos from individual seeds. An improved DNA extraction protocol (CTAB3) was used to obtain DNA from individual embryos at a concentration and quality similar to DNA extracted from leaves. DNA extracted from embryos was used for SSR molecular characterization in individuals from the 10 varieties. A unique molecular profile for each individual was obtained, and a clear differentiation between hemp and marijuana varieties was observed. The combined embryo extraction-DNA extraction methodology and the new highly polymorphic SSR markers facilitate genetic and forensic studies in Cannabis.
Optical millimeter-wave generation and transmission technologies for mobile communications, an overview (2002)

The success of future broadband mobile cellular communication systems rely to a great extent on reliable, low-cost components and technological principles. Especially in pico-cell scenarios needing many base stations the radio-over fiber technology is required for transmitting and generating millimeter-wave signals. Several approaches at frequencies up to 60 GHz are reviewed. This paper briefly reviews systems with intensity modulation and direct detection but the main focus is on systems based on heterodyne techniques using single or multiple optical sources in the control station for generating a single millimeter-wave carrier or a complete optical frequency division multiplex for the conversion to the millimeter-wave domain.
Using the Brain as a Metaphor to Model Flexible Production Systems (1994)

Manufacturing flexibility is critical for survival in industries characterizedby rapid change and diverse product markets. Although newmanufacturing technologies make it possible to accomplish flexibility,their potential remains unrealized by firms whose organizationalelements do not possess adaptive capabilities. We use the brain as ametaphor to generate insights on how firms might design flexibleproduction systems. We chose the brain as a metaphor because it is aself-organizing system capable of responding rapidly to a broadrange of external stimuli. The brain as a metaphor suggests that flexibilitycan be enhanced by employing practices that promote distributedprocesses occurring in parallel manner. Such practices lie incontrast to those employed by production systems built on scientificmanagement principles that promote localized processes in a sequentialmanner. By exploring these contrasting modes of operation, weargue that the brain as a metaphor opens up new avenues for theorydevelopment related to the design of flexible production systems.
The geometry of arc interruption — II current-zero phenomena (1944)

THE final proof of the ability of an a-c circuit interrupter to sever the circuit, whether it be a circuit breaker, fuse, lightning arrester, or rectifier, is determined over the very short interval in the region of current zero. At each current zero in the arc or conducting medium the important thermal actions of the arcing or conducting period are integrated <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">1</sup> and pitted against the recovery-voltage transient to determine the outcome, the success of which is termed interruption. The environment of the arc, not only the medium of interruption but the nature of the adjacent circuits, <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">2,3</sup> plays an important role in the phenomena of circuit interruption. The arcing period, in particular, is capable of having a tremendous influence upon the current-zero phenomena. <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">1</sup> In addition, however, the circuit interrupter is capable of imparting changes in the normal current flow in the region of current zero which play an important part in the final outcome.
Reaction of α-Sulfonyl Carbanions with Electrophilic Monohalogenocarbenoids: A New Wittig-Like Formation of Alkenes (1992)

Various α-sulfonyl carbanions were treated with chloromethyl- or iodomethylmagnesium chloride or 1-chloropentylmagnesium chloride solutions, leading to substitution of the sulfonyl group by a methylene or pentylidene moiety, respectively. This new olefin formation reaction indicates that monohalogenocarbenoids are strong electrophiles; it is shown here that magnesiated chloropentane is indeed more electrophilic than chloropentane itself.
