Phytase yield was improved in cane molasses when compared with the synthetic medium, and the cost of production was also significantly reduced. This enzyme can find application in the animal feed industry for improving the nutritional status of feed and combating environmental pollution.
Effects of Amniotic Membrane Transplantation and Mitomycin C on Wound Healing in Experimental Glaucoma Surgery (2002)

In spite of the fact that amniotic membrane transplantation is less effective than mitomycin C for depressing wound healing after trabeculectomy, it might be a safer alternative in selected cases when considering severe adverse effects of antimetabolites.
Optimum design of IC power/ground nets subject to reliability constraints (1988)

The authors formulate and solve the problem of sizing power/ground (p/g) nets in integrated circuits composed of modules, where the nets are routed as trees in the channels between the modules. Constraints are developed to maintain proper logic levels and switching speed, to prevent electromigration, and to satisfy certain design rule requirements. The objective is to minimize the area of the p/g nets subject to these constraints. An optimization technique tailored to this problem is developed. The technique solves the problem more efficiently than the steepest descent method and Newton's method. Several case studies are presented.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>
Rayleigh fading channels in mobile digital communication systems. I. Characterization (1997)

The paper addresses Rayleigh fading, primarily in the UHF band, that affects mobile systems such as cellular and personal communication systems (PCS). The paper itemizes the fundamental fading manifestations and types of degradation. Two types of fading, large-scale and small-scale, are described. Two manifestations of small-scale fading (signal dispersion and fading rapidity) are examined, and the examination involves two aspects: time and frequency. Two degradation categories are defined for dispersion: frequency selective fading and flat fading. Two degradation categories are defined for fading rapidity: fast and slow. A mathematical model using correlation and power density functions is presented. This model yields a symmetry to help view the Fourier transform and duality relationships that describe the fading phenomena.

Advanced antenna test bed characterization for wideband wireless communication systems (2005)

This paper discusses an advanced antenna test bed (ATE) and the results of a wideband diversity experiment. The ATE consists of a multi-channel spread spectrum receiver, multiple spread spectrum transmitters, mobile units utilizing GPS navigation, mounting structures for antenna arrays and a well characterized RF environment consisting of two PCS cell sectors. This experiment utilized a 1920 MHz mobile transmitter and 4 stationary receiving antennas. Fast fading reduction using antenna diversity and increased channel bandwidth (19.6 kHz, 1.25 MHz, 5.0 MHz, 10.0 MHz) is examined. Three combining methods are considered: selection diversity, equal gain combining, and maximal ratio combining. Measurements indicate that increasing the number of diversity antennas or the channel bandwidth significantly reduces fading; however, little difference is found between the various combining techniques for these data. The results also provide a baseline characterization of propagation conditions at the ATE site. These data will enable future comparative testing of advanced antennas, systems and processing algorithms in a known environment.
Strategies to In Vitro Assessment of Major Human CYP Enzyme Activities by Using Liquid Chromatography Tandem Mass Spectrometry (2008)

At the early stage of drug discovery, thousands of new chemical entities (NCEs) may be screened before a single candidate can be identified for development. Determining the role of CYP enzymes in the metabolism of a compound and evaluating the effect of NCEs on human CYP activities are key issues in pharmaceutical development as they may explain inter-subject variability, drug-drug interactions, non-linear pharmacokinetics and toxic effects. Reliable methods for determining enzyme activities are needed to characterize an individual CYP enzyme and to obtain a tool for the evaluation of its role in drug metabolism in humans. Different liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry methodologies have been developed for the fast and routine analysis of major in vivo and in vitro CYPs enzyme activities. The high sensitivity and selectivity of mass spectrometry allow traditional assays to be minimized, thus saving time, efforts and money. Therefore this technology has become the method of choice for the fast assessment of CYP enzyme activities in early drug discovery development. Our intention herein is to review the most recent approaches that have been developed to quickly assess CYPs activities using in vitro models and liquid chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry, as well as their application in early drug discovery.
Industrial usage of formal development methods-the VSE-tool applied in pilot projects (2002)

Formal methods are recognized as the most promising way to produce high-assurance software systems. In reality, this fact is not enough to convince industry to use them. Formal methods must be applicable and usable in several areas (e.g. security, safety); engineers have to accept a change in software development work but should not be asked to give up the environment they are used to; and bosses must realize that higher effort during the design phase can save money and time later. This paper describes the recently-completed formal specification and verification tool VSE (Verification Support Environment). An advantage of the design of the VSE tool is the possibility of using formal and semi-formal development methods combined in a unique working environment. After the official release of the VSE system in March 1995, several pilot projects were carried out with industry. This paper gives an overview of the VSE system and describes the results of the pilot applications.

Switch detector (2011)

An average white-collar worker deals with enormous amount of digital information on daily basis. Recently, there has been a growing interest to support their work. However, in order to be really supportive there is a need to know the current activity of the user at all times. In this paper we present a new technique that takes advantage of temporal aspects of user activity behavior to infer when it is most likely that an activity switch is occurring. We then describe "Activity Switch Detector" an interactive switch notification system embodying these ideas, and an extensive user study by ten participants to test the validity of the approach and present its results.

All components are governed by a centralized security policy and they can be deployed in a distributed fashion to achieve scaling. This packet filtering firewall design is proven technology that provides confidentiality, integrity and availability in own information and network resources. The required design implement to set-up packet filtering firewall for network to protect and unauthorized access to our network. We describe the filtering process design depends on its underlying network technologies. The resulting security mechanism can be used as a bastion-host in the construction of firewall system.
More than diplomatic: functional requirements for evidence in recordkeeping (1997)

In the 1990s, North American archivists and records managers shifted some of their concern with electronic records and record keeping systems to conducting research about the nature of these records and systems. This essay describes one of the major research projects at the University of Pittsburgh School of Information Sciences, supported with funding from the National Historical Publications and Records Commission. Specifically, the essay focuses on the project's four main products: recordkeeping functional requirements, production rules to support the requirements, metadata specifications for record keeping, and the warrant reflecting the professional and societal endorsement of the concept of the recordkeeping functional requirements.
Case Report: Wound Care of a Diabetic Foot Ulcer. (2015)

Wound care is one of the main concerns of patients with diabetes. This case involves a 65-year-old woman with a wound (4 cm x 2 cm) on her right foot, underneath the big toe. The patient had not been successful in healing this wound using conventional preparations for a year. A decision was made to compound a wound-care gel formulation, and two preparations were compounded. One contained phenytoin 3% and misoprostol 0.0024% gel and was used for wound healing. The patient was instructed to cover the wound twice daily with about 0.2 mL of this preparation. The other preparation was nifedipine 10% in a Pluronic lecithin organogel 20%. The patient was instructed to apply 0.6 mL twice daily around the wound and callous surrounding the wound and up the foot to increase circulation to the wound area. Saline rinses, which the patient had already been using, were continued as before (with application of the nifedipine gel afterward, followed by application of the phenytoin/misoprostol formulation). The wound was covered with sterile gauze. Healing was seen almost immediately and was quite advanced after 8 weeks. During 4 additional weeks, final closure of the wound occurred. Total healing time for the wound was 17 weeks. The author concludes that wound gels are effective in healing diabetic foot ulcers and that this is a promising therapeutic alternative for patients with refractory foot ulcers.
Moire interferometry with pseudo-random screens (1993)

Since a few decades ago the polarizing properties of roof prisms have been studied, mainly because of the anomalies introduced by these prisms on the images when they work with polarized light .1' 2' 3' 4 . G. Rodriguez-Zurita, et al 5 have shown that inserting an Amici prism between two linear polarizers they were able to use the roof prism as a phase and amplitude spatial filter, and produced some Schlieren-kind images of a lens. As a particular case they showed that when the two polarizers have a 90Ã‚Â° relative orientation, the two different kind of rays have the same amplitude at the exit of the second polarizer, but their relative phase may be changed from 180 0 to 223.3Ã‚Â° , by only rotating together the two polarizers; i.e. the phase shift variation is 43.3 (a little bit more than a tenth of a period).

From magician to metal brain: the embodiment of illusion in early European film theory (2008)

AbstractThis article engages with a pervasive leitmotif within the criticism and theory of early European cinema: the increasingly corporeal situation of cinematic illusion. In particular, this text investigates a crucial shift from the mode of the ‘cinema of attractions’, into an account of film which demands a much more comprehensive implication of the human perceiver into the diegesis of the film. By first examining the broad terrain of illusion of the former tradition exemplified by cinemagician Georges Melies and his deployment of the precedent of the phantasmagoric deceptions of the nineteenth century, this investigation turns to the case study of a crucial but largely neglected film by Jean Renoir, La Petite Marchande d'Allumettes/The Little Match Girl (1928), a work which seems, in startlingly innovative ways, to dramatise and ground in cinematic production the transformation of bodily realities so central to contemporary theoretical debates. This remarkable film, suffused with archaic and modern ...
Abstracts (1949)

How important to American physicists are abstracts of the periodical literature in their field; how do they use abstracts; what do they think of the abstracts they now have; what kind of abstracts would they like to have? It is questions like these which the study now being conducted by the American Institute of Physics and the American Physical Society, under contract with the Office of Naval Research, hopes to answer. Although the work has not progressed far enough to warrant hard and fast conclusions on physicist opinion, it is likely that most of the major differences in viewpoint have been encountered by now.
Antibody Therapy of Acute Myelogenous Leukemia (2000)

Monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) have become an important modality for cancer therapy. A genetically engineered, humanized anti-CD33 antibody HuM195 has demonstrated activity against over relapsed acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) and against minimal residual disease in acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL). Radioimmunotherapy with beta (beta) particle-emitting isotopes has produced significant responses while minimizing radiation exposure to normal tissues in both nonmyeloablative and myeloablative regimens. Targeted alpha (alpha) particle therapy with 213Bi-labeled HuM195 offers the possibility of more selective tumor cell kill. Additionally, directed chemotherapy using an anti-CD33-calicheamicin conjugate (CMA-676) has produced remissions in patients with relapsed AML.
Optimizing the startup time of embedded systems: a case study of digital TV (2009)

The demand for fast startup is mostly motivated by embedded systems, especially for home appliances such as digital TV. Though a new storage device such as a flash memory may help reduce the startup time, its applicability is limited to a small size application, which is not the case for recent media processing software consisting of millions lines of code. This paper proposes novel approaches to reduce the startup time of large embedded systems. The startup latency of a commercial digital TV is analyzed in order to marshal resource initialization and to warm up the buffer cache. Based on the analysis we propose a better initialization order and determine when data should be prefetched to the buffer cache in order to reduce the startup time, and which data. Our measurements show that our schemes reduce the total startup time by 35% <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">1</sup> .
An EIA Recommended Practice (1977)

One of the first and most important studies undertaken by the (JCIC) Ad Hoc Color Television Study Committee concerned the effect of variations in broadcast television synchronizing signal parameters, albeit within the tolerances of FCC Rules and Regulations, upon the uniformity of color reproduction on home receivers. (The Joint Committee on Inter-Society Coordination represents the SMPTE, the NAB, the IEEE, and the National Cable Television Association.) Extensive laboratory and field tests, as well as engineering studies, conducted by the Committee revealed the need for more stringent and definitive specifications, if a significant reduction in hue and saturation variations among program sources and stations were to be achieved. — Accordingly, the Committee's findings were turned over to the Electronic Industries Association (EIA) Broadcast Television Systems (BTS) Committee with the recommendation that appropriate action be taken to tighten synchronizing signal specifications. The following EIA Recommended Practice provides target values and tolerances for base-band program signals leaving broadcast plants and being distributed to transmitter plants.
Wnt5a Skews Dendritic Cell Differentiation to an Unconventional Phenotype with Tolerogenic Features (2011)

Dendritic cells (DCs) are critical regulators of immune responses that integrate signals from the innate and adaptive immune system and orchestrate T cell responses toward either immunity or tolerance. Growing evidence points to the Wnt signaling pathway as a pivotal piece in the immune balance and focuses on DCs as a direct target for their immunoregulatory role. Our results show that the increase in Wnt5a signaling during the differentiation of human DCs from monocytes alters their phenotype and compromises their subsequent capacity to mature in response to TLR-dependent stimuli. These Wnt5a-DCs produce scant amounts of IL-12p70 and TNF-α but increased levels of IL-10. Consequently, these Wnt5a-DCs have a reduced capacity to induce Th1 responses that promote IL-10 secretion by CD4 T cells. Changes in the transcriptional profile of Wnt5a-DCs correlate with their unconventional phenotype caused presumably by increased IL-6/IL-10 signaling during the process of DC differentiation. The effect of Wnt5a is not a consequence of β-catenin accumulation but is dependent on noncanonical Ca(2+)/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II/NF-κB signaling. Our results therefore suggest that under high levels of Wnt5a, typical of the inflammatory state and sepsis, monocytes could differentiate into unconventional DCs with tolerogenic features.

Epitope-Based Vaccines with the Anaplasma marginale MSP1a Functional Motif Induce a Balanced Humoral and Cellular Immune Response in Mice (2013)

Bovine anaplasmosis is a hemoparasitic disease that causes considerable economic loss to the dairy and beef industries. Cattle immunized with the Anaplasma marginale MSP1 outer membrane protein complex presents a protective humoral immune response; however, its efficacy is variable. Immunodominant epitopes seem to be a key-limiting factor for the adaptive immunity. We have successfully demonstrated that critical motifs of the MSP1a functional epitope are essential for antibody recognition of infected animal sera, but its protective immunity is yet to be tested. We have evaluated two synthetic vaccine formulations against A. marginale, using epitope-based approach in mice. Mice infection with bovine anaplasmosis was demonstrated by qPCR analysis of erythrocytes after 15-day exposure. A proof-of-concept was obtained in this murine model, in which peptides conjugated to bovine serum albumin were used for immunization in three 15-day intervals by intraperitoneal injections before challenging with live bacteria. Blood samples were analyzed for the presence of specific IgG2a and IgG1 antibodies, as well as for the rickettsemia analysis. A panel containing the cytokines' transcriptional profile for innate and adaptive immune responses was carried out through qPCR. Immunized BALB/c mice challenged with A. marginale presented stable body weight, reduced number of infected erythrocytes, and no mortality; and among control groups mortality rates ranged from 15% to 29%. Additionally, vaccines have significantly induced higher IgG2a than IgG1 response, followed by increased expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines. This is a successful demonstration of epitope-based vaccines, and protection against anaplasmosis may be associated with elicitation of effector functions of humoral and cellular immune responses in murine model.
Development and Evaluation of Automotive Speech Interfaces: Useful Information from the Human Factors and the Related Literature (2013)

Drivers often use infotainment systems in motor vehicles, such as systems for navigation, music, and phones. However, operating visual-manual interfaces for these systems can distract drivers. Speech interfaces may be less distracting. To help designing easy-to-use speech interfaces, this paper identifies key speech interfaces (e.g., CHAT, Linguatronic, SYNC, Siri, and Google Voice), their features, and what was learned from evaluating them and other systems. Also included is information on key technical standards (e.g., ISO 9921, ITU P.800) and relevant design guidelines. This paper also describes relevant design and evaluation methods (e.g., Wizard of Oz) and how to make driving studies replicable (e.g., by referencing SAE J2944). Throughout the paper, there is discussion of linguistic terms (e.g., turn-taking ) and principles (e.g., Grice’s Conversational Maxims ) that provide a basis for describing user-device interactions and errors in evaluations.
