Immune Parameters in High-risk Atopic Individuals during Early Childhood (2000)

The profile of cytokine production by peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from patients with bronchial asthma on stimulation with house dust mite was demonstrated to be compatible with that of helper T type 2 (Th2) cells (1). The number of Th2 cells was also shown to be increased in bronchial tissue and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid of patients with bronchial asthma. Also, the recruitment of allergen-specific Th2 cells from the peripheral blood into the bronchial tissue after an inhalant allergen challenge was demonstrated. Allergic asthma is therefore considered a Th2-driven disease in which the presence of Th2 cells correlates with IgE production, mast cell hyperplasia, and eosinophil infiltration, determining the severity of the disease (2). The Th2-derived cytokine interleukin 5 (IL-5) is a crucial cytokine, which accounts for the recruitment and activation of eosinophils, resulting in airway eosinophilia in patients with allergy (3). In animal models, depletion of CD4 1 T cells results in abrogation of airway eosinophilia and in subsequent reduction of airway hyperresponsiveness. Similarly, elevated IL-4-induced serum levels of IgE and allergen-specific IgE levels as observed in patients with atopic allergy can be explained in terms of excessive Th2 activation. Many, but not all, the pleiotropic effects of IL-4, which are of importance in allergic diseases, can be inhibited by interferon g (IFNg ). Thus, the balance between Th1/Th2 activation is generally established by determining the ratio between IL-4 and IFNg produced by activated PBMCs or purified T cells.
Monoclinic Form of [Cu(C10H24N4)]CuCl4 (1996)

The monoclinic form of 1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecanecopper(II) tetrachlorocuprate, [Cu(14-ane)]CuCl4, has a chain structure consisting of Cu(14-ane)2+ cations linked by CuCl42− anions. The CuII ion has a square-planar coordination in the cation [average Cu-N distance = 2.020 (7) Å] while the anion has a flattened tetrahedral geometry [average Cu-Cl distance = 2.246 (13) Å with average trans Cl-Cu-Cl angles = 130 (1)°]. The cations and anions are linked by semi-coordinate Cu⋯Cl bonds with a distance of 2.855 (2) Å to form chains which run parallel to the c axis and pack in a hexagonal array.
3D-Map Assisted UAV Trajectory Design Under Cellular Connectivity Constraints (2020)

Cellular connected unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) that can operate safely in beyond visual line of sight conditions are expected to open important future opportunities in the areas of transportation, goods delivery, and system monitoring. A key challenge in this area lies in the design of trajectories which, while allowing the completion of the UAV mission, can guarantee reliable cellular connectivity all along the path. Previous approaches in this domain have considered either simplistic propagation model assumptions (e.g. Line of Sight based) or more advanced models but with computationally demanding optimization solutions. In this paper, we propose a novel approach for trajectory design using a coverage map that can be obtained with a combination of a 3D map of the environment and radio propagation models. Leveraging on the convexity of subregions within the coverage map, we propose a low-complexity graph based algorithm which is shown to achieve quasi-optimal performance at a fraction of the computational cost of known optimal methods.
A low-cost, actuated passive dynamic walker kit for accessible research and education (2017)

A low-cost bipedal walking robot kit with limited actuation and sensing capabilities was designed and built to achieve actively powered, passive dynamic walking locomotion over level ground. The walking system is composed of readily available parts and materials totaling less than $50 and can be assembled either from plans or pre-fabricated parts in less than a day. Indeed, the very first (and only) prototype was conceived and built in one day, and capable of walking within two more. In place of components utilized for the prototype shown and demonstrated, alternative parts and materials can be substituted and accommodated by relatively simple design changes, allowing this robot construction to be adapted to different resource availability, in some cases key to the success of research or education.
Magnet ingestion leading to intestinal fistulae, phytobezoar formation, and small bowel obstruction (2019)

Ingestion of neodymium magnets carries risks of dangerous intestinal complications including necrosis of the intestinal wall, bowel perforation, enteroenteric fistulae, and even death. Prompt endoscopic or surgical removal can prevent these complications. Here we report a case of unwitnessed ingestion of 19 neodymium magnets that went unrecognized for two weeks before presenting with small bowel obstruction due to a phytobezoar and numerous gastrojejunal and jejunojejunal fistulae. The child underwent a challenging laparotomy, lysis of adhesions, removal of foreign bodies, and repair of intestinal fistulae. She remained hospitalized for 12 days without significant complications and was discharged home. This case illustrates the potential for catastrophic abdominal complications to develop in a subacute fashion in patients with minimal or no initial symptoms. Pediatricians should have a low threshold to obtain plain radiographs in toddlers who present with inexplicable abdominal pain.

Statistical Model of Heavy-Ion Fusion-Fission Reactions (2008)

Cross-section and neutron-emission data from heavy-ion fusion-fission reactions are consistent with the fission of fully equilibrated systems with fission lifetime estimates obtained via a Kramers-modified statistical model which takes into account the collective motion of the system about the ground state, the temperature dependence of the location and height of fission transition points, and the orientation degree of freedom. If the standard techniques for calculating fission lifetimes are used, then the calculated excitation-energy dependence of fission lifetimes is incorrect. We see no evidence to suggest that the nuclear viscosity has a temperature dependence. The strong increase in the nuclear viscosity above a temperature of approximately 1.3 MeV deduced by others is an artifact generated by an inadequate fission model.

Assay of Nucleic Acids at the Water/Tetrachloromethane Interface with Cetyltrimethylammonium Bromide by Total Internal Reflected Resonance Light Scattering (2003)

Abstract In this contribution, nucleic acids, including calf thymus DNA (ctDNA), fish sperm DNA (fsDNA), and yeast RNA (yRNA), have been determined with good selectivity and sensitivity at the water/tetrachloromethane (H2O/CCl4) interface by a total internal reflected resonance light scattering (TIR-RLS) technique. Under optimal conditions, amphiphilic complexes produced by nucleic acids and cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTMAB) are absorbed at the H2O/CCl4 interface, resulting in a good separation of nucleic acids from the coexisting foreign substances in the aqueous phase and enrichment of nucleic acids at the interface. All of these induce significantly enhanced TIR-RLS signals with the maximum peak located at 370.0 nm at the interface. It was found that the enhanced TIR-RLS intensity is in good proportion to the concentration of nucleic acids in the range of 0.06–2.5, 0.015–3.5, and 0.046–3.5 μg mL−1 for ctDND, fsDNA, and yRNA, respectively, and their limits of detection (3σ) are 6.0 ng mL−1, 1.5 ng mL−1 and 4.6 ng mL−1 correspondingly. Artificial samples with complicated and highly interfering backgrounds were analyzed satisfactorily.
International Perspectives On Individual And Community Approaches To The Prevention Of Sexually Transmitted Disease And Human Immunodeficiency Virus Infection (1996)

Risks for sexually transmitted disease (STD) and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection have been addressed in two categories: the individual and the population. Emphasis in STD and HIV prevention has largely been placed on the first, with interventions that address individuals and attempt to bring about changes in individuals being the norm. The relative ease of evaluating these interventions and the ability to know that they have been delivered as intended make these interventions attractive. Community interventions are more difficult to manage and to evaluate but are nonetheless commonly used. Structural interventions that address the environment in which risk behavior takes place are also possible but used much less frequently. In a comprehensive intervention program for STD and HIV prevention, it is necessary to consider opportunities for all three types of intervention approaches.
Quality assurance of four-dimensional computed tomography in a multicentre trial of stereotactic body radiotherapy of centrally located lung tumours (2018)

The expiration phase was the most accurate phase to define the tumour volume and should be preferred for GTV delineation of tumours exhibiting large motion causing motion artefacts when using mid-ventilation or tracking techniques. The large variation found among the institutions indicated that further improvements in 4DCT imaging were possible. Recommendations for 4DCT QA have been formulated.
Eigenmode expansion and mode-matching analysis of Bessel beam launchers (2015)

It was recently shown that a leaky radial waveguide can produce a propagating Bessel beam in free space. Two such waveguides can be coupled such that the fields are tightly confined in free space. Analysis of such a coupled system is presented here. Eigenmode expansion is applied to the leaky-waveguides, and mode-matching is performed. Computations show close agreement with simulation results of a commercial Finite Element Method (FEM) solver.
Clinical, Demographic and Psychosocial Correlates of Complementary and Alternative Medicine Use by Men Diagnosed With Localized Prostate Cancer (2003)

Initiation of CAM therapies as a result of a prostate cancer diagnosis was fairly low, although two-thirds of men had used it before diagnosis. Half of the patients did not inform their physicians about such use and physicians should continue to probe patients about CAM use.

<title>Incandescent Digital Readouts In Avionics</title> (1977)

IntroductionFifty years ago a pilot would climb into the cockpit of his aircraft, check four orfive dials and take off. Today it takes a flight crew of four or five to monitor awall of instrumentation in the cockpit of the average Jumbo Jet, as depicted in Figure 1.As the sophistication, speed and size of our aircraft has increased, so has our needfor a continuous flow of information on all of the aircraft systems during flight.As a result instrument space is at a premium. There is now no longer room behind theinstrument panels for space- consuming electro- mechanical -type readouts. Moreover, insupersonic military aircraft, instrument weight becomes a major consideration, as everyadditional gram means extra fuel to be carried.Fortunately, the miniaturization of electronics has made it possible to use electronicinstead of mechanical displays. There has been an increasing trend from mechanicalpresentation of digital information to direct digital electronic presentation.The prime consideration for any digital display equipment in an aircraft is to with-stand the working conditions of its environment. It must have a long life, be easilymaintained, be small, light and above all, be clearly and instantly readable. Whilethere are several potential solutions to these requirements, this paper will discussthe merits of incandescent digital readouts.Incandescent ReadoutsThe performance characteristics which make digital incandescent readouts so desirablefor avionics use are:Unequalled brightness with excellent contrast ratio.Long operating life.Reliability exceeding Military specifications.Large character size to package ratio.Small volume and weight.Effective cost.Integrated circuit compatibility.These characteristics will now be examined in greater detail.BrightnessIncandescent readouts today are readily available with a brightness of 8000 relativefootlamberts. This level of brightness is made possible by directly viewed filaments,and when coupled with the black matt background of the package, it gives contrast ratiosexceeding 35 to 1 in an ambient of 10,000 footlamberts (a typical specification for directsunlight conditions in an aircraft cockpit).
Multipolar Plasma Treatments of In 0.53 Ga 0.47 As Surface for MIS Devices Application (1987)

Multipolar plasma treatments combined with a high vacuum system and a monitoring by ellipsometry have been developed to achieve high electrical quality InGaAs/Si 3 N 4 interfaces. Interface states density in the low 1011 cm?2 eV?1 are obtained under controlled conditions, which is therefore suitable for a MISFET technology.

Record fifth-harmonic-generation efficiency producing 211  nm, joule-level pulses using cesium lithium borate (2018)

The fifth harmonic of a pulsed Nd:YLF laser has been realized in a cascade of nonlinear crystals with a record efficiency of 30%. Cesium lithium borate is used in a Type-I configuration for sum-frequency mixing of 1053 and 266 nm, producing 211 nm pulses. Flat-topped beam profiles and pulse shapes optimize efficiency. The energies of the fifth harmonic up to 335 mJ in 2.4 ns pulses were demonstrated.
Nanotechnology and high-precision optical displacement sensor design for optomechatronical systems (2008)

In this paper, design of an ultra high-resolution, compact and tunable optical displacement sensor for optomechatronical systems is presented. In this proposal nanophotonic principles are used to develop displacement sensor which is required strongly in micro and nano machines especially micro robotics. For this purpose, in this work nanocrystal doped micro ring resonator is used as the basic cell. Then we propose integrated case for array applications such as array of micro mirrors. We show that the proposed sensor can easily detect well below nanometer to near picometer ranges. Also, it is illustrated that using Electromagnetically Induced Transparency (EIT) resolution of the proposed sensor can be increased.
Interactions between HIV-1 Gag and Viral RNA Genome Enhance Virion Assembly (2017)

Most HIV-1 virions contain two copies of full-length viral RNA, indicating that genome packaging is efficient and tightly regulated. However, the structural protein Gag is the only component required for the assembly of noninfectious viruslike particles, and the viral RNA is dispensable in this process. The mechanism that allows HIV-1 to achieve such high efficiency of genome packaging when a packageable viral RNA is not required for virus assembly is currently unknown. In this report, we examined the role of HIV-1 RNA in virus assembly and found that packageable HIV-1 RNA enhances particle production when Gag is expressed at levels similar to those in cells containing one provirus. However, such enhancement is diminished when Gag is overexpressed, suggesting that the effects of viral RNA can be replaced by increased Gag concentration in cells. We also showed that the specific interactions between Gag and viral RNA are required for the enhancement of particle production. Taken together, these studies are consistent with our previous hypothesis that specific dimeric viral RNA-Gag interactions are the nucleation event of infectious virion assembly, ensuring that one RNA dimer is packaged into each nascent virion. These studies shed light on the mechanism by which HIV-1 achieves efficient genome packaging during virus assembly.<b>IMPORTANCE</b> Retrovirus assembly is a well-choreographed event, during which many viral and cellular components come together to generate infectious virions. The viral RNA genome carries the genetic information to new host cells, providing instructions to generate new virions, and therefore is essential for virion infectivity. In this report, we show that the specific interaction of the viral RNA genome with the structural protein Gag facilitates virion assembly and particle production. These findings resolve the conundrum that HIV-1 RNA is selectively packaged into virions with high efficiency despite being dispensable for virion assembly. Understanding the mechanism used by HIV-1 to ensure genome packaging provides significant insights into viral assembly and replication.
3D multi-stacking of thin dies based on TSV and micro-inserts interconnections (2012)

This paper is dedicated to the full development of several technological modules mandatory for 3-D multiple die stacking. This includes technologies such as thinning, Through Silicon Vias (TSV) and dies interconnection. A via last approach was chosen to be compatible with die integration coming from various foundries where design, die thickness and contact pad metallurgy are predefined. The interconnection between each die is based on chip on wafer bonding and micro-inserts technology. Small spikes of Ni are formed at the interconnection point between the two circuits. The approach allows a very narrow connection (less than 10 μm of interface) and do not necessitate an underfill. A test vehicle which allows characterizing the required technologies has been designed and manufactured. It consists of 50 μm thick dies including TSV and contact lines on both sides. These dies are stacked on silicon interconnection network enabling to extract electrical signal. The electrical continuity through the stacking was tested from the substrate thanks to Daisy Chain. Finally, these technologies were implemented in a SimCard prototype. The test vehicle and final prototype will be fully described in this paper. A technical focus will be done on the most important process steps for the 3D integration which include vias last integration, micro-bumping and thin die stacking. Several electrical Kelvin structures were measured from the substrate to estimate the contact resistance through micro-inserts and TSV and results will be presented and commented.
Measurements of the Stark Broadening of Hγ (1969)

The Stark broadening of Hγ has been investigated in three independent experiments covering the temperature range 1 «= kT «= 2 eV and electron-density range from 2 x 1O<SUP>16</SUP> to 2 x 1O<SUP>17</SUP> cm<SUP>3</SUP>. Two of the experiments used a gas-driven shock tube as the spectroscopic source, while the third used an e1ectromagnetically driven T-tube. The data were reduced by fitting the experimental intensities in the lines Hβ and Hγ to the theoretical profiles of Kepple and Griem. In both cases good agreement was found between theoretical and experimental profiles from the line center down more than an order of magnitude in intensity out into the wings. The mean ratio of the electron density determined from the Hγ profile to that determined from Hβ was 1.01, with a standard deviation of ~11 percent and a standard deviation of the mean of ∼ 2 percent
Involvement of the purinergic system in central cardiovascular modulation at the level of the nucleus ambiguus of anaesthetized rats (2010)

Anatomical studies have demonstrated the existence of purinergic P2 receptors in the nucleus ambiguus (NA), a site containing cardiac vagal motoneurons. However, very little is known about the functional role of these receptors in central cardiac vagal regulation. The aims of our study were to evaluate the following: (1) the blood pressure and heart rate responses following purinoceptor activation within the NA; (2) the role of purinoceptors and excitatory amino acid (EAA) receptors in mediating the cardiovascular responses evoked by ATP and L-glutamate stimulation of NA; and (3) the role of NA purinoceptors in mediating the cardiovascular responses of the Bezold-Jarisch reflex. In anaesthetized rats, microinjection of L-glutamate (5.0 nmol/50 nl) into the NA induced a marked and immediate onset bradycardia with minimal change in arterial pressure. Microinjection of ATP into the NA induced a dose-dependent (0.31-6.0 nmol/50 nl) bradycardia and pressor responses. It is noteworthy that the bradycardia occurred either before or simultaneously with a pressor response (when present), indicating that it was not a baroreceptor reflex mediated response due to the rise in arterial pressure. The pressor response was prevented by α(1)-adrenergic blockade with prazosin, whereas muscarinic blockade with methyl-atropine abolished the evoked bradycardia. Ipsilateral microinjection of PPADS (a P2 receptor antagonist; 500 pmol/100 nl) into the NA significantly attenuated the ATP-induced bradycardia but spared the pressor response. In contrast, PPADS in the NA had no effect on the L-glutamate-evoked bradycardic response. Ipsilateral injection of kynurenic acid (a non-selective EAA receptor antagonist; 10 nmol/50 nl) into the NA totally blocked the bradycardia induced by l-glutamate and partly attenuated the ATP induced bradycardia. Finally, both the depressor and the bradycardic responses of the Bezold-Jarisch reflex were attenuated significantly (P < 0.01 and P < 0.05, respectively) following bilateral microinjection of PPADS into the NA. These results identify ATP and purinergic P2 receptors within the ventrolateral medulla as excitatory to cardiovagal neurons. Additionally, our data show that P2 receptors within the ventrolateral medulla are integral to the cardiovascular responses of the Bezold-Jarisch reflex.
