Antiandrogen-associated hepatotoxicity in the management of advanced prostate cancer. (2003)

Flutamide and CPA appear to cause hepatotoxic effects in some patients. Discontinuation of the antiandrogens seems to be the resolution of hepatotoxicity. A change to other antiandrogen may be the alternative strategy to the antiandrogen-induced hepatotoxicity. The results of this study suggest that all patients received flutamide and CPA should be monitored carefully for signs and symptoms referable to hepatic injury to prevent the development of serious hepatic dysfunction.
Familial cases and male cases with <i>MECP2</i> mutations (2017)

This is the first report of Chinese familial cases with Rett syndrome (RTT) or X-linked mental retardation (XLMR). RTT is a neurodevelopmental disorder that almost exclusively affects females. Most RTT cases are sporadic. We have studied eight cases with MECP2 mutations in six Chinese families, including three females and five males with RTT or XLMR. All shared identical MECP2 mutations with their mothers. The three females fulfilled the diagnostic criteria for RTT, while the five males were XLMR. A random X-chromosome inactive (XCI) pattern was seen in all the three female patients and two mothers while a skewed XCI in the rest four mothers. The clinical manifestations and pathogenic gene spectrum between male and female patients were different. The different MECP2 mutations and different XCI pattern may be the determinants of the phenotypic heterogeneity between the family members.
Fluid Structure Interaction Simulation of Flow Field around Elastic Moving Airfoils (2010)

Flow field around a moving body is treated as Fluid-Structure Interaction (FSI), and these phenomena have been continued a series of moving elastic deformation of the body, vortex generation, growing and development. Recently, the development of MAV and micro flapping robot mode of thin film materials applied the mechanism of insect flight, and have been clarified the elastic deformation of the wing. However, these flow field and characteristics of dynamic force have not been clarified completely. In this paper, we simulate the fluid structure interaction simulation of flow field around an elastic thin film and achieve the bi-directional coupling analysis using ANSYS 12.1/ANSYS CFX 12.1. The purpose of this study is to clarify the effect of elastic deformation to vortex flow structure of elastic thin film. The thin film rolls up vortices at the railing edge larger than the thin plate does when the elastic deformation and its acceleration become large.
A similarity retrieval of 3D polygonal models using rotation invariant shape descriptors (2002)

In virtual reality and multimedia applications, 3D polygonal models are increasing in number. Similarity retrieval is an important task in 3D polygonal model databases. We present rotation invariant shape descriptors for similarity retrieval. Our feature descriptor grouping technique overcomes the efficiency problem of query processing in high-dimensional shape descriptor spaces. Although high-dimensional feature descriptors are reduced by our techniques, they maintain high recall and precision.
Über die Spaltung von Aldosemercaptalen mit Brom (1958)

Abstract Zuckermercaptale lassen sich durch Brom zerlegen. Aus den acylierten Aldosemercaptalen erhält man so in guten Ausbeuten die acylierten aldehydo ‐Zucker‐derivate. Auch für den Nachweis von Mercaptalen auf Papierchromatogrammen läßt sich die Bromspaltung heranziehen.
Characterization of processing effects in HIPS‐CNF composites using thermogravimetric analysis (2008)

Abstract To completely establish the processing–structure–property relationships of polymer composites such as Carbon Nanofibers (CNFs) in high‐impact polystyrene, it is necessary to understand the effects of different processes and processing conditions on the properties of the composites. In this work, using thermogravimetric analysis, the effects of solvent processing and twin‐screw extrusion on the weight loss rates and the corresponding temperatures were studied. While there were only marginal effects of the CNF concentration, the type of processing significantly affected the thermo‐oxidative behavior. Extrusion resulted in composites that had better thermal stability compared to the solvent processed ones. Furthermore, higher shear rates in extrusion also led to composites with higher thermal stability. This has important implications in choosing the appropriate process and processing conditions for producing polymer‐CNF composites. It was also demonstrated that thermogravimetric analysis can provide a means of characterizing the degree of dispersion resulting from the processing of the composites that complements conventional microscopy techniques.

Design issues for next generation interfaces (NGI) (1999)

The information explosion that has accompanied the technological age has created a world where people are expected to deal with vast quantities of data quickly and interact with others through technology on a daily basis. Facilitating the ability to effectively communicate and use this data requires a radical change in the way human computer interface (HCI) dialogues are provided. This tutorial will introduce new ideas, strategies, and techniques being developed around the world that can be used to create a new generation of interfaces. The characteristics, needs, and issues of NGIs will be identified. The tutorial will focus on three key areas: physical interactions, social interactions, and ambient interactions. New concepts about interaction will be introduced and illustrated by examples. Hands-on exercises will be used to assist participants' awareness and knowledge about how to apply strategies and techniques that can be used to design and think about NGIs. Emphasis will be given to efficient use of sharing interactively distributed resources including people and data in context of people performing activities as part of a small group.
Electro-Optical Properties of Polymer Dispersed Liquid Crystal Transmission Gratings (2002)

We report on the investigations of electrically switchable polymer dispersed liquid crystal gratings. Diffraction properties, grating anisotropy, and temperature dependencies were analyzed to obtain information on the liquid crystal orientation inside the ellipsoidal droplets and the distribution of the droplets in a polymer host. We compare the samples of different compositions and grating spacings.
VSX2 mutations in autosomal recessive microphthalmia. (2011)

Mutations in VSX2 represent an important cause of autosomal recessive microphthalmia in consanguineous pedigrees. Identification of a second missense mutation in the CVC motif emphasizes the importance of this region for normal VSX2 function.
Power control of the high speed shared control channel (2006)

In High Speed Downlink Packet Access (HSDPA) system, the High Speed Shared Control Channel (HS-SCCH) carries downlink signalling information essential to the operations of the high-speed mobile broadband access system. In this paper, power control of the HS-SCCH is considered. Two algorithms - traditional power control and channel quality indicator (CQI) based power control are analyzed. The traditional power control algorithm couples the HS-SCCH transmit power to the power of the dedicated control channel and performs well when the mobile is not in soft-handoff. However, in soft-handoff HS-SCCH performance degrades significantly since power control decisions are now based on the received powers of all base stations in soft-handoff rather than just from the HSDPA serving base station. On the other hand, CQI-based power control decouples HS-SCCH power control from that of the dedicated control channel and thus is not affected by mobile handoff state. However, CQI reports are infrequent, and, as a result, performance suffers when the reporting frequency is inadequate in tracking the propagation channel. This is alleviated by using prediction to fill in gaps between CQI reports. Our simulation results show that performance of the CQI-based power control algorithm is comparable to the traditional algorithm when the mobile is not in soft-handoff, and significantly better than the traditional algorithm under soft-handoff.
Magnetic mesoporous bioactive glass scaffolds: preparation, physicochemistry and biological properties (2013)

The magnetic 10Fe5Ca MBG scaffolds (Fe<sub>3</sub>O<sub>4</sub>-CaO-SiO<sub>2</sub>-P<sub>2</sub>O<sub>5</sub> system) have been prepared by a combination of polyurethane sponge and P123 as co-templates and an evaporation-induced self-assembly (EISA) process through the substitution of Fe<sub>3</sub>O<sub>4</sub> for CaO in the 15Ca MBG scaffolds (CaO-SiO<sub>2</sub>-P<sub>2</sub>O<sub>5</sub> system). The structure, magnetic heating, drug release, physicochemical and biological properties were systematically investigated. The results showed that the 10Fe5Ca MBG scaffolds had the interconnected macroporous structure with pore sizes ranging from 200 to 400 μm and the mesoporous wall with a peak pore size of ca. 3.34 nm. Also, the 10Fe5Ca MBG scaffolds exhibited similar mechanical strength, apatite-forming ability and sustained drug release behavior compared to the 15Ca MBG scaffolds. Importantly, the substitution of Fe<sub>3</sub>O<sub>4</sub> for CaO in the MBG scaffolds induced a slower ion dissolution rate and more significant potential to stabilize the pH environment, and facilitated osteoblast cell proliferation, alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity and osteogenic expression. In particular, the 10Fe5Ca MBG scaffolds could generate heat in an alternating magnetic field. Therefore, the magnetic 10Fe5Ca MBG scaffolds have potential for the regeneration of the critical-size bone defects caused by bone tumors by a combination of magnetic hyperthermia and local drug delivery therapy.

Tunable terahertz-frequency resonances and negative dynamic conductivity of two-dimensional electrons in group-III nitrides (2004)

We investigated the terahertz (THz)-frequency resonances of two-dimensional electron conductivity under the streaming transport in a GaN quantum well at the nitrogen temperature. The calculation results found that the negative microwave mobility can occur in the narrow windows near the optical-phonon transit-time resonance frequencies, which can be tuned electrically in the 0.2–2.5THz range with the static electric fields of 1–10kV∕cm. The estimated magnitude of the negative mobility reaches hundreds of cm2∕Vs. These effects suggest that the nitride-based heterostructure may enable the development of an electrically pumped, tunable THz source operating at or above 77K.

Propagating evolution events in data-centric software artifacts (2011)

The success and wellbeing of large organizations rely on the smooth functionality and operability of their software. Such qualities are largely affected by evolution events and changes, like software upgrades. In this paper, we are dealing with handling evolution events in data management systems. We consider a data-centric ecosystem that captures relational tables, views and queries (the latter are seeing as software modules that are either internal to the database, e.g., stored procedures, or external software applications that access the database). We also consider policies dictating the response of a software module to a possible event. We investigate the impact of such events to the database and present a graph-based mechanism to control event propagation. We show that our mechanism terminates and that every database construct is annotated with a single status, regardless of the sequence of messages that the node receives.
Vibration–rotation relaxation in He–H2 (1975)

Vibration−rotation relaxation calculations for He4−(para−H2) are presented over the range 200 ? T ⩽ 700°K. The relaxation equations are solved for up to 12 vibration−rotation states. The rate constants were obtained from previously calculated quantum mechanical collision cross sections. It is shown that the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of the relaxation matrix may be physically interpreted in terms of different relaxation modes. Details of the relaxation are followed as a function of time. A rich variety of rotational relaxation behavior is shown to be possible at short times followed by a quiescent induction period and finally vibrational relaxation. Breathing sphere calculations were also performed, and they were found to be inadequate for describing the vibrational relaxation. The rotational states significantly participate in the vibrational relaxation of He−H2.
Studies on Processing of an Alnico Scrap (2001)

Abstract This paper presents the results of research and development work on processing of alnico scrap, a secondary resource of nickel and cobalt, generated during the manufacturing of alnico magnets. The scrap contains 8-10% nickel, 10-12% cobalt, 32-50% of iron, 8-10% aluminium, 2% copper and remaining silica. Various processes such as acid leaching, aqueous chlorine leaching, salt roasting and cupric chloride leaching were studied in detail. Of these cupric chloride leaching was found to be most effective with respect to recovery and purity. It has been possible to obtain pure nickel and cobalt salts by cupric chloride leaching of the scrap, solvent extraction and precipitation of the salts. The overall recovery by the above process was almost 99%.
HLA genetics in bipolar disorder (2018)

Air-ground channel measurements &amp; modeling for UAS (2013)

Unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) are expected to be used in greatly increasing numbers in the near future. To safely integrate them into the national airspace system (NAS) requires reliable communication links. Since operating conditions and signaling rates of UAS will not always be identical to conventional civil piloted aircraft, the air-ground channel can become a challenging obstacle to reliable communications. Thus, along with NASA's Glenn Research Center we are conducting a measurement and modeling campaign to quantitatively characterize the air-ground channel. This paper describes our motivation, test system, measurement and modeling approach, and some initial results. Use of the developed models within larger network-scale investigations are planned, hence these results are a first step in the UAS integration into the NAS. Future results should be of use for any communication link performance analyses for UAS.
Smoke Filling in an Enclosure (1981)

The filling of an enclosure by smoke generated by a diffusion flame was studied by measuring the smoke extinction coeffcient and temperature versus height during the filling process. Semi-quantitative agreement is found between the Bains-Turner theory and experiments with the burner located in the center of the room for heat fluxes over the range 11 to 32 KW. The filling process was found to be about twice as fast when the burner was moved off center. A novel technique for generating a thin smoke layer is described. Approximately 80% of the total heat generated by combustion was lost to the ceiling and walls. It was found that the conservation ratio of fuel to particulate is a non-linear function of fuel flow rate and that the shape of the curve is sigmoidal, which appears to be a common characteristics of sooting system.
HUMORAL IMMUNE-MEDIATED ACUTE, ANTIGEN-INDUCED ARTHRITIS IN RATS IS SUPPRESSED BY THE INDUCING ANTIGEN ADMINISTERED ORALLY BEFORE, BUT NOT AFTER, IMMUNIZATION (2001)

Acute ovalbumin-induced arthritis (OIA), which is mediated by Arthus reaction to ovalbumin (OVA) in the joint space, can be induced by immunization of rats with OVA followed by the intraarticular injection of OVA. Because oral administration of antigen induces immunological unresponsiveness, we studied for the first time the effects of oral administration of OVA on acute OIA. The oral administration of OVA before immunization significantly suppressed the development of acute OIA, in accordance with decreases in both the anti-OVA IgG antibody production and in vitro lymphocyte proliferative responses to OVA. However, the oral administration of OVA after immunization did not show any decrease in antibody production or in vitro lymphocyte proliferation to OVA, or in the severity of acute OIA. These results indicate that the induction of oral tolerance to OVA in OIA is possible by oral administration of OVA before, but not after, immunization with the antigen. This supports the concept of using antigen feeding as a treatment for certain humoral immune-mediated diseases.
Energy Distribution and the Relative Biological Effects of Internal Alpha Emitters (1985)

Experiments were performed to examine the influence of energy distribution at the cellular level on the relative biological effectiveness (RBE) of internally deposited alpha particle emitters. Cultured Chinese hamster ovary (CHO-K1) cells were irradiated in vitro by insoluble ceramic microspheres of zirconium oxide labelled with 239Pu. The absorbed dose and dose rate were held constant at 0.7 Gy and 0.17 Gy.h-1, respectively. The variation in local dose was achieved either by using stationary microspheres of two different specific energies or by gently rocking these spheres during irradiation. Relative biological effectiveness was evaluated using three endpoints: initial cell survival, mutation frequency, and primary DNA damage. RBEs for 239Pu alpha particles relative to 60Co gamma radiation varied from 1 to about 6, depending upon the local distribution of energy imparted at the cellular level. Cell death was greatest for irradiations by sources of low specific activity. Mutation frequency was greatest for cells exposed to agitated (more uniformly distributed alpha radiation) sources and least for irradiation by stationary high-specific-activity sources (“hot particles”). The amount of DNA damage increased as the alpha radiation was more uniformly distributed amongst the cells at risk.
Nationwide Point Cloud—The Future Topographic Core Data (2017)

Topographic databases maintained by national mapping agencies are currently the most common nationwide data sets in geo-information. The application of laser scanning as source data for surveying is increasing. Along with this development, several analysis methods that utilize dense point clouds have been introduced. We present the concept of producing a dense nationwide point cloud, produced from multiple sensors and containing multispectral information, as the national core data for geo-information. Geo-information products, such as digital terrain and elevation models and 3D building models, are produced automatically from these data. We outline the data acquisition, processing, and application of the point cloud. As a national data set, a dense multispectral point cloud could produce significant cost savings via improved automation in mapping and a reduction of overlapping surveying efforts.
Tracing of thin tubular structures in computer tomographic data (1998)

For many applications in diagnostics and in the planning of surgical interventions, specific structures have to be identified in a patient's volume data set. In this article we give an outline of how the detection of thin tubular structures (e.g., nerves and vessels) can be automated, requiring very little initialization from a human expert. We focused on the nervus alveolaris inferior in the lower jaw and were looking at three details: data acquisition, detection, and validation of accuracy. Our method can be easily adapted to many similar cases such as other nerves, arteries, and veins or bundles thereof.
