The older‐worker‐younger‐supervisor dyad: A test of the Reverse Pygmalion effect (2009)

Abstract An emerging phenomenon, the older worker reporting to a much younger supervisor, is reversing the tradition that managers are older and more experienced than subordinates. These age‐related demographic changes are bringing about a role reversal in the workplace that violates established age norms, creating status incongruence in the supervisor‐subordinate dyad. This age‐reversed dyad can be better understood by examining generational differences and the effects of older workers' expectations on their younger supervisors' leadership behavior, referred to as Reverse Pygmalion. Research findings highlight demographic differences and similarities in the supervisor‐subordinate dyad, called Relational Demography. Major findings are that older workers expect less from their younger supervisors than do younger workers, and in turn older workers rate their younger supervisors' leadership behavior lower than younger workers rate their younger supervisors.
An improved boric ester method for the isolation of alcohols (1956)

Abstract In an improved process for the separation of alcohols and phenols as borate esters from other volatile substances, transesterification with butyl borate is carried out in a solvent such as methyl cyclo hexane which forms an azeotrope with butyl alcohol. The boratization of soluble hydroxylic compounds proceeds quickly to an easily recognized completion. Trilinalyl borate has been prepared by this method and is pyrolysed only above 150°. The application of the new procedure to the isolation of geijerene from the essential oil of Geijera parviflora Lindley is described.
Ferroelectricity and crystal structure. II (1954)

Ferroelectrics are crystals with pseudosyrmnetric structures of polar symmetry in which the direction of polarity can be reversed by an applied field.They are found when the directed bond system of certain atoms changes with temperature while the ionic character of the structure is still important.If only one kind of atom suffers such a change, the resulting displacements are likely to have non-polar symmetry; if two change together, there is a good chance that the displacements of each kind of atom will all be parallel, and the substance therefore ferroelectric.These ideas are applied to the perovskite family, where the importance of the homopolar character of the O atom is emphasized; to KH~PO a, where the significance of the K atom is deduced from the geometry of the structure, and the contrast with ND4D~PO4 is discussed; to Rochelle salt, where attention is again directed to the K atom, and the chemical implications of theories of ordering in the hydrogen bond are noted; and $o Li-Nb03, where the room-temperature structure found by Bailey is shown to be that of a 'frozen ferroelectric' derived from the ideal perovskite structure.
Continuous network of endoplasmic reticulum in cerebellar Purkinje neurons. (1994)

Purkinje neurons in rat cerebellar slices injected with an oil drop saturated with 1,1'-dihexadecyl-3,3,3',3'-tetramethylindocarbocyanine perchlorate [DiIC16(3) or DiI] to label the endoplasmic reticulum were observed by confocal microscopy. DiI spread throughout the cell body and dendrites and into the axon. DiI spreading is due to diffusion in a continuous bilayer and is not due to membrane trafficking because it also spreads in fixed neurons. DiI stained such features of the endoplasmic reticulum as densities at branch points, reticular networks in the cell body and dendrites, nuclear envelope, spines, and aggregates formed during anoxia nuclear envelope, spines, and aggregates formed during anoxia in low extracellular Ca2+. In cultured rat hippocampal neurons, where optical conditions provide more detail, DiI labeled a clearly delineated network of endoplasmic reticulum in the cell body. We conclude that there is a continuous compartment of endoplasmic reticulum extending from the cell body throughout the dendrites. This compartment may coordinate and integrate neuronal functions.

The antibacterial activity of chloroxylenol in combination with ethylenediaminetetra-acetic acid (1976)

The bactericidal activity of RBA 777 has been found to vary with both the cultural and environmental test conditions against Pseudomonas aeruginosa and to a lesser extent against Staphylococcus aureus. These variations may explain certain anomalies in earlier work regarding the activity of chloroxylenol-based products. The addition of EDTA to RBA 777 has brought about an improvement in the performance against P. aeruginosa and this activity is confirmed in vivo. Previous reports have already illustrated this potential and the evaluations of the new antibacterial agent DA 136 confirms and extends these results to its performance under adverse conditions, often associated with the hospital environment.
The fatty-acid-induced conformational states of human serum albumin investigated by means of multiple co-binding of protons and oleic acid (1988)

The binding of oleic acid to human serum albumin causes progressive changes in (a) the pK of some amino acid residues, as detected by pH-stat titration and (b) the induced molar ellipticities of albumin-bound drugs (diazepam and oxyphenbutazone), as measured by c.d. It is concluded that albumin undergoes several conformational transitions as the amount of oleic acid bound increases from 0 to about 9 molecules/molecule of protein. At least three different conformations of the protein seem to be involved. These conformations can be linked with the three classes of oleic acid-binding sites on albumin.
High-sensitivity diagnosis of AA amyloidosis using Congo red and immunohistochemistry detects missed amyloid deposits. (1995)

Biopsy diagnosis of early amyloid-A (AA) amyloidosis has often been difficult. Examination of 57 consecutive biopsy specimens from 42 patients with inflammatory pediatric diseases permitted comparison of the precision of biopsy amyloid diagnosis in six different laboratories (labs), which applied the following methods: Congo red alone (four unspecialized labs combined as Lab 1), Congo red and electron microscopy (Lab 2), or Congo red and immunohistochemistry using monoclonal antibodies (Lab 3). Lab 3 reexamined the diagnoses made by Lab 1 and Lab 2. Of the 42 patients, 17 patients with 32 biopsies were selected for this study based on the presence of amyloid in at least one biopsy. Whereas massive or no amyloid was concordantly recognized by all labs in 18 biopsies from nine patients, discordance was demonstrated in 14 biopsies from eight patients. Comparison of Labs 1-3 revealed amyloid in 12 rectal and 18 renal biopsies evaluated by Lab 3, whereas Lab 2 missed amyloid in two of 18 renal biopsies and Lab 1 missed amyloid in 11 of 12 rectal biopsies. Most amyloid was missed when only minute amounts of amyloid were present. Had our technique (Lab 3) been available at the time of biopsy, amyloid could have been diagnosed years earlier, thereby sparing the patient further biopsies and allowing initiation of earlier treatment before organ damage could occur.
THE STRUCTURE OF THE COGNITIVE PROCESSES (1981)

The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationships within the cognitive processes between Self (S) and Other (O) in an affective situation, and to show the structure of the cognitive processes by factor analysis.The subjects were 56 pairs of male students in a medical college. They were administered the Self-Differential Scale to evaluate 1) self image; S→s or O→o, 2) image of the other person; S→o or O→s, 3) inference about the other person's self image; S→ (O→o) or O→ (S→s), 4) inference about the other person's image of me; S→ (O→s) or O→ (S→o), 5) ideal self image; S→Is or O→Io.The results of the investigations are as follows:1) The following 3 kinds of cognitive processes emerged as having the highest degree of concordance; S→Is: O→Io, S→s: S→ (O→s) and S→o: S→ (O→o).2) According to the factor analysis based on the concordance of matched cognitive processes, 9 factors are obtained. These are termed “similarity of self images”, “disclosure of self image”, “idealization tendency”, “similarity between each other's images of the other person”, “self-esteem”, “disclosure of image of the other person”, “selforiented accuracy”, “idealization tendency by the other person”, “other-oriented accuracy”.3) These factors are classified into 8 categories in two dimensions; namely the objects of cognition (self and other) and the characteristics of interpersonal perception (accuracy, disclosure, similarity an idealization).
Preliminary identification of germplasm resources of seed pumpkin in Guizhou. (2009)

Four cultivation varieties(C.moschata,C.maxima,C.pepo and C.ficifolia) and five good pumpkin germplasm resources were identified from more than 50 pumpkin germplasm resources collected from part regions of Guizhou province to lay a certain foundation for utilization of seed pumpkin.
zFTL: power-efficient data compression support for NAND flash-based consumer electronics devices (2011)

Flash translation layers play an important role in determining the storage performance and lifetime of NAND flash-based consumer electronics devices. In this paper, we present a flash translation layer called zFTL, which reduces the amount of data written to NAND flash memory by supporting on-line, transparent data compression based on the X-Match algorithm. To minimize compression overhead and power consumption, we also propose a novel prediction scheme that identifies incompressible data in advance without going through full compression. Our evaluations with five real-world workloads show that zFTL successfully enhances storage performance and lifetime by improving the write amplification factor (WAF) by a factor of 2.6 (geometric mean) compared to the case without compression support. In addition, we find that the proposed prediction scheme is effective in reducing power consumption by skipping compression for incompressible data.
Cuttlefish use visual cues to determine arm postures for camouflage (2011)

To achieve effective visual camouflage, prey organisms must combine cryptic coloration with the appropriate posture and behaviour to render them difficult to be detected or recognized. Body patterning has been studied in various taxa, yet body postures and their implementation on different backgrounds have seldom been studied experimentally. Here, we provide the first experimental evidence that cuttlefish (Sepia officinalis), masters of rapid adaptive camouflage, use visual cues from adjacent visual stimuli to control arm postures. Cuttlefish were presented with a square wave stimulus (period = 0.47 cm; black and white stripes) that was angled 0°, 45° or 90° relative to the animals' horizontal body axis. Cuttlefish positioned their arms parallel, obliquely or transversely to their body axis according to the orientation of the stripes. These experimental results corroborate our field observations of cuttlefish camouflage behaviour in which flexible, precise arm posture is often tailored to match nearby objects. By relating the cuttlefishes' visual perception of backgrounds to their versatile postural behaviour, our results highlight yet another of the many flexible and adaptive anti-predator tactics adopted by cephalopods.
Support vector machine based approach for quranic words detection in online textual content (2014)

Quran is the holy book for Muslims around the world. Since it was revealed to the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) before about 14 hundreds years, Quran is preserved in all imaginable ways from distortion. The rapid and huge growth of digital media and internet usage, cause a wide spread of the Quranic knowledge as well as Quranic Verses, scripts, Translations, and many other Quranic sciences in its digital formats. Some of the online sources, websites, services and social network users are introducing a less authentic Quranic content, services and applications. The ordinary user of such online resources could not detect and authenticate the provided Quranic verses. In this paper, we propose a machine learning approach to detect Quranic words in a text extracted from online sources. The proposed approach of detection utilizes Support Vector Machine to generate a learning model of Quranic words by training the learner on the Quranic words dataset. The generated classification model is used later to classify the words from online content. Experiments based on different features categories such as the Diacritics, and Statistical features are performed and a prototype is developed, Results show that the accuracy and other evaluation measurements achieved by the proposed approach are higher than the previous measurement in the domain. The Future works will focus on incorporating more machine learning and optimization techniques for achieving higher evaluation measurements.
Doppler flow patterns in the evaluation of pulmonary hypertension. (2009)

Pulmonary arterial hypertension is defined as a group of diseases characterised by a progressive increase in pulmonary vascular load, leading to marked increase in pulmonary artery pressure, right ventricular failure and premature death. Given the nonspecific nature of its early symptoms and signs, pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is often diagnosed in its advanced stages. Although clinical assessment is essential when initially evaluating patients with suspected PAH, echocardiography is a key screening tool in the diagnostic algorithm, because, in comparison with invasive measurements, it has the advantages of being safe, portable, and repeatable. Therefore, Doppler echo is the modality most frequently used in pulmonary hypertension patients. Several echocardiographic techniques centered on the Doppler principle (both conventional Doppler parameters and tissue Doppler imaging) used in the assessment of PAH magnitude and its cardiac effects are presented in this paper. They provide important data on the severity, possible causes and consequences of pulmonary hypertension, both initially and during follow-up, therefore having the ability to estimate disease progression, prognosis, or to monitor therapeutic response. Doppler echocardiography allows to noninvasively estimate systolic pulmonary arterial pressure (SPAP), mean and end-diastolic pulmonary arterial pressure, as well as the quantification of right ventricular (RV) function and the evaluation of pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR).
Measuring system normality (2002)

A comparative analysis of transaction time-series is made, for light to moderately loaded hosts, motivated by the problem of anomaly detection in computers. Criteria for measuring the statistical state of hosts are examined. Applying a scaling transformation to the measured data, it is found that the distribution of fluctuations about the mean is closely approximated by a steady-state, maximum-entropy distribution, modulated by a periodic variation. The shape of the distribution, under these conditions, depends on the dimensionless ratio of the daily/weekly periodicity and the correlation length of the data. These values are persistent or even invariant. We investigate the limits of these conclusions, and how they might be applied in anomaly detection.
Preparation of two-component waterborne semi-gloss polyurethane varnish (2012)

A waterborne semi-gloss polyurethane varnish was prepared by using waterborne hydroxyl acrylic resin emulsion and polyisocyanate curing agent provided by Bayer MaterialScience.The mixing proportion of two types of hydroxyl resins was ascertained by test as follows:48.00% Bayhydrol XP 2546 and 23.00% Bayhydrol XP 2542.The molar ratio of NCO to OH is 1.6.The relationship between the amount of matting agent and film luster was discussed.The semi-gloss polyurethane varnish prepared with 2.4wt% matting agent has high hardness,excellent wear and weather resistance,and low glossiness,presenting a good comprehensive performance.
Capturing encryption keys for digital analysis (2011)

This article deals with encrypted evidence and gaining encryption keys from memory. For the purpose of forensic analysis an image of an encrypted disk cannot be later verified against any original evidence, because, after the power is switched off the decrypted original contents is no longer accessible. However, using a live image of the system's volatile memory obtained at the time when the container is open, the decryption keys can be recovered. We show a new approach to identify encryption keys in memory. This work focuses mainly on the Ubuntu Linux distribution and a new version of encryption tool TrueCrypt, but we deal also with the Windows operating system.
Biologic Response of the Intervertebral Disc to Static and Dynamic Compression In Vitro (2007)

Mechanical loading is involved in the physiology and pathology of disc degeneration. Static and dynamic compression may induce different biologic response of the intervertebral disc: static compression has catabolic role on the disc, whereas the dynamic load at appropriate level may benefit the synthetic activity and anabolic response of the disc.
The Legal Construction of Childhood (2002)

Two features of the legal regulation of childhood seem troublesome, but ultimately contribute to sensible policies in most contexts. First, the boundary between childhood and adulthood varies in different policy domains, through a regime of age grading under which elementary school students are deemed adults for some legal purposes, while, for other purposes, college students are children. Second, the transitional stage of adolescence is virtually invisible, because, for most purposes, law makers employ binary categories, classifying adolescents as either children or as adults. This framework – a series of legislative bright line rules, arrayed around a presumptive age of majority – generally promotes social welfare as well as the interests of youth. Although this approach sometimes distorts developmental reality, it accomplishes the transition from legal childhood to adulthood over time without incurring the costs associated with the creation of intermediate legal category. Indeed, the unsuccessful experience with abortion regulation (in which adolescents occupy a special category) confirms the benefits of binary classification.\nIn the context of juvenile justice policy, however, categorical assumptions that ignore the developmental stage of adolescence have harmful outcomes. In responding to youth crime, law makers have shifted the boundary of childhood dramatically during the 20th century. The Progressive architects of the traditional juvenile court described delinquent youths as innocent children, and constructed policies that presumed that the state's sole purpose was to promote their welfare. Contemporary conservatives, in contrast, assume that young offenders are indistinguishable from adult criminals, and argue that public protection demands that they be subject to the same punishment. I argue that both of these accounts represent distortions and have been the basis of unsatisfactory policies – even in terms of the professed objectives of their adherents. A justice policy that treats adolescence as a distinct legal category not only will promote youth welfare, but will also advance the utilitarian objectives of reducing the costs of youth crime.
Effective Bacterial Inactivation and Removal of Copper by Porous Ceramics with High Surface Area (2012)

In this study, we present porous ceramics combining the antibacterial effect of copper with an integrated copper removal adsorbent. After preparing and characterizing the antibacterial copper-doped microbeads and monoliths (CuBs and CuMs), their antibacterial efficiency is probed against different nonpathogenic and pathogenic bacteria (Bacillus subtilis, Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa). An antibacterial efficiency of 100% is reached within 15 min to 3 h for all tested strains under static conditions. Dynamic tests with B. subtilis and E. coli showed high antibacterial efficiency up to 99.93% even at continuous flux. To avoid any adverse effects on the environment, continuous removal of released copper-ions is accomplished with porous, high surface area monolithic adsorbents (MAds). MAds are prepared similarly to the CuMs but without adding copper during the manufacturing process. MAds reduce the amount of copper released from the CuMs ≥ 99% during the first 15 min, ≥90% up to 2 h, and after 22 h of continuous filtration up to 56% of the released copper is removed.
Recovery of Memory and Process in DSM Systems: HA Issue # 1 (2001)

multiprocessor, shared memory, high availability In this report, we discuss the recovery of memory and processes on the platform of a shared-memory DSM system. We divide the problem into recovery of unaffected memory (RUM), and recovery of affected processes (RAP). We point out that specially designed faulttolerant, non-volatile memory is neither sufficient nor necessary to solve the problem of RUM. It is not sufficient that the system can go down when one node goes away, which can be a result of many types of faults: power failure is but one of them. It is not necessary either, because the system is distributed in nature; information redundancy across fault units can be realized, therefore, without using special memory. We discuss several ways of implementing a fault-tolerant memory system using plain memory by modifying the write-back
Virtual rehabilitation programme using the MIRA platform, Kinect and Leap Motion sensors in an 81 years old patient with ischemic stroke (2017)

Virtual rehabilitation therapy using the adapted Movement-Based Interactive Video Games (MBIVG) and the Microsoft's Kinect and the Leap Motion sensors of motion is a promising new therapy for patients with stroke. We report the evolution of an 81 years old male with ischemic stroke and right hemiparesis who played MIRA interactive video games using the Kinect One sensor and Leap Motion sensor standard games for 10 sessions, with a duration of 30 minutes/session during his 14 days of hospitalization. The patient also benefited from conventional rehabilitation therapy for stroke (kinetotherapy, massage and conventional occupational therapy). At the final examination, the patient showed improved motor skills, the final ARAT score improved from 46 to 57 points (24% amendment), the Fugl-Meyer test score improved from 46 to 52 (13% amendment) and the Berg Balance Scale improved from 43 to 49 points (14% amendment). Virtual rehabilitation therapy was well tolerated, showing no adverse effects after 10 sessions. Despite his age, the patient enjoyed playing MIRA interactive video games and Leap Motion standard games, which ensured a good compliance to the treatment.
