SCP architecture with performance flexibility (2002)

The authors discuss the hardware architecture for the service control point (SCP). They show the network architecture for the intelligent network (IN) which is the basis of the discussion. Functions required for the SCP are classified into three types. Requirements for the SCP hardware architecture are clarified. On a certain SCP model satisfying the requirements, where a single SCP consists of multiple modules and module types, it is shown that on designing the performance of the SCP, there exists a solution giving the minimum cost of SCP, and a method is outlined to obtain this solution. Some examples are given to show the effectiveness of the method.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>

Coordinated defense plan protects against transient instabilities (1997)

The electricity generation, transmission and distribution systems in major countries are planned, operated and protected so as to withstand any hazards that are likely to most affect them (short circuits, tripping of a line or generating set), without damage to customers. However, compliance with normal dependability and security practices does not result in a fully safe system protected against major collapses. These may result from the accidental coincidence of more fragile operating conditions and serious damage or from many successive adverse hazards far beyond those against which precautions are generally taken. This paper describes a coordinated power system defense plan, the goal of which is to prevent large regions of France or the entire power network from suffering blackouts and to accelerate restoration.
ON THE MEASURE OF DIGITAL TERRAIN MODEL ACCURACY (1988)

Abstract In digital terrain model (DTM) production, one important concern is the accuracy and a comprehensive measure of DTM accuracy is of significance. In this paper, the existing measures are evaluated; the potential measures are also discussed and, finally, a more comprehensive measure is recommended.
Data Hiding in Audio Signal: A Review (2009)

Information hiding technique is a new kind of secret communication technology. The majority of today’s information hiding systems uses multimedia objects like audio. Embedding secret messages in digital sound is usually a more difficult process. Varieties of techniques for embedding information in digital audio have been established. In this paper we will attend the general principles of hiding secret information using audio technology, and an overview of functions and techniques.

Refugees, grief and loss: Critical debates (2014)

This paper discusses the major issues facing refugees and asylum seekers who flee across international borders. It will review briefly the flight, asylum and settlement processes refugees face before considering the potential effects of these on mental health and wellbeing. The ways that any resulting distress is frequently categorised in Western countries using the dominant biomedical lens of PTSD is considered and some of the major debates reviewed, including the lack of research specifically on loss and grief among refugees. The authors suggest that the grief and loss that many refugees experience might helpfully be understood with due consideration of the culture and explanatory frameworks used by both clinicians and refugees. Some refugees experience ambiguous loss, when individuals are missing or displaced in their country of origin and, consequently, the normal grieving process may be compromised. The need to account for the meaning‑making experience of each individual refugee within their cultural, sociopolitical and familial context is emphasised, as is the importance of recognising and working with the immense resilience that many refugees display as they start to build new lives.
Removal of Zn 2+ , Cd 2+ and Pb 2+ from binary aqueous solution by natural zeolite and granulated activated carbon (2007)

The adsorptive removal of Zn 2+ , Cd 2+ and Pb 2+ from single and binary metal ion aqueous solution using natural clinoptilolitic zeolite tuff, a regional low-cost naturally available adsorbent, and granulated activated carbon, an adsorbent conventionally applied in wastewater treatment, was studied.The competitive adsorption equilibrium of three binary mixtures (Cd 2+ /Zn 2+ , Zn 2+ /Pb 2+ and Pb 2+ /Cd 2+ ) with different ratios of initial metal ion concentrations, on both adsorbents, was determined in batch mode at 25 o C.Langmuir and Freundlich isotherms were used to interpret the adsorption data of the investigated systems.The results indicate that the Langmuir isotherm fits the data better in both single and binary component systems.Natural zeolite and granulated activated carbon showed similar adsorption capacity for Pb 2+ , although granulated activated carbon had higher adsorption capacity for Zn 2+ and Cd 2+ than natural zeolite.The order of metal ion selectivity on both adsorbents is Pb 2+ > Cd 2+ > Zn 2+ .. The binary equilibrium of adsorption showed competitive nature.For all studied metal ions (Zn 2+ , Cd 2+ and Pb 2+ ) the natural zeolite and granulated activated carbon metal ion adsorption capacity in the case of binary systems (adsorption) are lower than those obtained for a single metal systems (adsorption), and are significantly influenced by the ratios of initial metal ion concentrations in the binary water solutions.
In situ loading of well-dispersed gold nanoparticles on two-dimensional graphene oxide/SiO2 composite nanosheets and their catalytic properties (2012)

We demonstrated a simple, in situ reduction route to the synthesis of two-dimensional graphene oxide/SiO(2) (GSCN) hybrid nanostructures consisting of Au nanoparticles (Au NPs) supported on the both sides of GSCN. The as-prepared GSCN/Au NPs hybrid nanomaterials exhibited good catalytic activity for the reduction of 4-nitrophenol. This approach provided a useful platform based on GO hybrid nanomaterials for the fabrication of GSCN/Au NPs hybrid nanomaterials, which could be very useful in catalytic applications.
Protein Abundance Prediction Through Machine Learning Methods (2020)

ABSTRACT Proteins are responsible for most physiological processes, and their abundance provides crucial information for systems biology research. However, absolute protein quantification, as determined by mass spectrometry, still has limitations in capturing the protein pool. Protein abundance is impacted by translation kinetics, which rely on features of codons. In this study, we evaluated the effect of codon usage bias of genes on protein abundance. Notably, we observed differences regarding codon usage patterns between genes coding for highly abundant proteins and genes coding for less abundant proteins. Analysis of synonymous codon usage and evolutionary selection showed a clear split between the two groups. Our machine learning models predicted protein abundances from codon usage metrics with remarkable accuracy, achieving R 2 values higher than previously reported in the literature. Upon integration of the predicted protein abundance in enzyme-constrained genome-scale metabolic models, the simulated phenotypes closely matched experimental data, which demonstrates that our predictive models are valuable tools for systems metabolic engineering approaches.
OH‐Directed Alkynylation of 2‐Vinylphenols with Ethynyl Benziodoxolones: A Fast Access to Terminal 1,3‐Enynes (2015)

The first direct alkynylation of 2-vinylphenols was developed. The rationally optimized hypervalent iodine reagent TIPS-EBX* in combination with [(Cp*RhCl2)2] as a C-H-activating transition metal catalyst enables the construction of a variety of highly substituted 1,3-enynes in high yields of up to 98%. This novel C-H activation method shows excellent chemoselectivity and exclusive (Z)-stereoselectivity, and it is also remarkably mild and tolerates a variety of functional groups. Furthermore, synthetic modifications of the resulting 1,3-enynes were demonstrated. To our knowledge, this is the first example for an OH-directed C-H alkynylation with hypervalent iodine reagents.
Thick Film Circuits: Present State and Future Development (1981)

Thick film technology has been known for about 20 years. The technique of inks, printing, firing and trimming has grown in this time to a well established state of the art. This paper gives an overview of the status today and an outlook into the future, not only for thick film, but also for hybrids built out of thick film circuits with incorporation of additional components. The paper gives the main market figures and market segments for thick film applications and mentions the main reasons for this. New fields of applications for thick film will be found in the future where considerations like reliability, space savings and cost advantage are of importance.
Retrospective analysis of juvenile rheumatic disease in 561 cases (2004)

Objective To analyze the condition, distribution, constituent ratio, main symptoms, laboratory examination and other clinical features of juvenile rheumatic disease (JRD) in order to enhance theunderstanding of it. Methods Five hundred and sixty-one cases of JRD treated in the Department of Pediatrics of Henan Provincial People′s Hospital were analyzed retrospectively from January 1990 to August 2003. Results Henoch-Schonlein purpura (HSP), juvenile idiopathic arthritis(JIA), rheumatic fever (RF), systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) occurred more in rural area than in urban. Mucocutaneous lymphnode syndrome (MCLS) occurred more in urban than in rural area.The initial symptoms of JRD were arthralgia, skin rashes and fever. The frequently involved organs were kidney, lymphnode, heart and liver. White blood cell count and erythrocyte sedimentation rate raised in 43.1% and 61.6% patients with JRD respectively. Rheumatoid factor was mostly positive in JIA. Three patients died. Conclusion 2.9% patients with JRD have been admitted to Department of Pediatrics. The most common diseases are HSP, JIA, MCLS, RF, SLE. The morbidity of HSP shows an increasing tendency and RF shows decreasing tendency. It is suggested to enhance the understanding of JRD. Improve the diagnostic and treatment level is the key to control disease and reduce complications.
Case of Destructive Ophthalmia, with Extensive Suppuration of the Cellular Membrane, and Severe Affection of the Knee-Joint, Occurring after Premature Delivery (1848)

IT is presumed that the following case will be particularly worthy of the notice of this Society, whose Transactions con- tain the most valuable essays on the subject of phlebitis ge- nerally, and in which the attention of the profession was first directed, in this country, to the occurrence of certain local diseases in connection with, and probably arising from, in- flammation of the veins of the uterus in puerperal women.In the early part of last spring, I was requested by Mr. Francis Hutchinson, of Farringdon-street, to accompany him to visit Mrs. M , a lady aged about 40, of spare habit of body, but strong constitution and active mind.She had suffered several previous miscarriages, and had been de- livered, on the 7th of March, of a four months' child, which had been for some time dead in the uterus; and it was be- lieved that the system was contaminated by the retention of the decomposed fretus.Much serious indisposition and constitutional disturbance preceded and followed the expulsion of the foetus, and on the second or third day after delivery, the contents of the right orbit became inflamed.We found that the globe was much VOL.XXXI.
Delivery of RNAi therapeutics: work in progress (2013)

RNA interference (RNAi) therapeutics appear to offer substantial opportunities for future therapy. However, post-administration RNAi effectors are typically unable to reach disease target cells in vivo without the assistance of a delivery system or vector. The main focus of this review is on lipid-based nanoparticle (LNP) delivery systems in current research and development that have at least been shown to act as effective delivery systems for functional delivery of RNAi effectors to disease target cells in vivo. The potential utility of these LNP delivery systems is growing rapidly, and LNPs are emerging as the preferred synthetic delivery systems in preclinical studies and current nonviral RNAi effector clinical trials. Moreover, studies on LNP-mediated delivery in vivo are leading to the emergence of useful biophysical parameters and physical organic chemistry rules that provide a framework for understanding in vivo delivery behaviors and outcomes. These same parameters and rules should also suggest ways and means to develop next generations of LNPs with genuine utility and long-term clinical viability.
Géographie manufacturière de Montréal (1959)

L'étude de la géographie manufacturière de Montréal présente plus d'un point d'intérêt.Depuis la dernière guerre mondiale, l'industrie manufacturière du Canada a doublé ses effectifs et sextuplé la valeur de sa production ; un progrès semblable ne s'effectue pas dans un pays sans influencer grandement la structure industrielle des grandes villes.Aussi Montréal comme Toronto ont, depuis 1939, pris un élan dans la voie de l'industrialisation, qui est en train de changer leur physionomie.Montréal, pour sa part, s'est enrichie d'un groupe d'industries métallurgiques, qui a déclassé celui des textiles et de la confection.En outre, la rivalité des deux plus importantes villes canadiennes grandit à mesure que le pivot économique du pays se déplace vers l'Ouest.Cette progression observée à l'échelle nationale est également sensible à l'échelle provinciale.Le Québec a, depuis 1939, doublé le personnel de ses manufactures et sextuplé le volume de sa production industrielle.Or, nous le verrons plus loin, la place de Montréal est prédominante dans le champ industriel de la province.Montréal se réclame sans doute du titre de reine des villes manufacturières du Canada mais, à cause des distances, son influence est diminuée dans l'Ouest par la concurrence de ses rivales : Toronto, Winnipeg et Vancouver.Dans l'espace québécois, Montréal joue, au plein sens du mot, son rôle de métropole industrielle en produisant 56% du volume des articles manufacturés dans la province.C'est dire que l'évolution industrielle du Québec est largement conditionnée par celle de sa capitale manufacturière.Ces observations générales nous montrent déjà l'importance de l'industrie montréalaise dans les cadres provincial et national.Plusieurs auteurs ont jusqu'à maintenant souligné ce fait et entrepris la description de cette puissante activité avec beaucoup d'adresse.Nous retrouvons par exemple une étude de l'industrie manufacturière de Montréal dans un livre de la collection des Etudes sur notre milieu.' 1 À la lecture, nous vérifions rapidement que ce travail est l'oeuvre d'un économiste plutôt que d'un géographe : nous n'y trouvons pas la synthèse distinctive d'une production géographique.Toutefois, les nombreuses considérations économiques, les hypothèses sur l'avenir de Montréal et les comparaisons avec Toronto nous fournissent matière à réflexion.Le maître Raoul Blanchard a brossé un tableau de l'activité industrielle de Montréal dans ses études canadiennes. 2II l'a qualifié lui-même de boiteux 3 mais il reste néanmoins le meilleur sur le sujet.
Highly Efficient CdSe-Sensitized TiO<sub>2</sub> Photoelectrode for Quantum-Dot-Sensitized Solar Cell Applications (2008)

CdS quantum dots (QDs) were self-assembled onto a mesoscopic TiO2 film and used as a seed layer to induce the nucleation and growth of CdSe in the followed CBD process. The SAM-CdS-QD-layer contributes a TiO2/CdSe interface with superior ability in inhibiting the charge recombination. After improvement by a surface passivation ZnS layer, an energy conversion efficiency of 2.9% was achieved.

The karyotype formulae are as follows: K. alatavica,2n=6x=42=36m+6sm; K. longiglumis,2n=6x=42=36m+6sm; K. grandiglumis,2n=6x=42=36m+6sm; K. stenachyra,2n=6x=42=36m+6sm; K. kasgarica,2n=6x=42=32m+10sm; K. thoroldiana,2n=6x=42=36m+6sm; K. melanthera,2n=6x=42=36m+6sm; K. nana,2n=6x=42=34m+8sm. All the karyotypes belong to 1B or 2B. No satellites have been found.
Dimer Destruction in a Cs Vapor by a Laser Close to Atomic Resonance (1998)

We demonstrate efficient depletion of the ground state dimers in a Cs vapor along the path of a Ti:sapphire cw beam. This arises from a quasiresonant process, assisted by collisions of ${\mathrm{Cs}}_{2}$ molecules with $\mathrm{Cs}(6P)$ excited atoms, taking place close to both ${D}_{1}$ and ${D}_{2}$ atomic transitions, the lower the density, the narrower the frequency range over which it occurs. We obtain the cross section of the collisions involved.
Synthesis of Nitrogenated Heterocycles by Asymmetric Transfer Hydrogenation of <i>N</i>-(<i>tert</i>-Butylsulfinyl)haloimines (2013)

Highly optically enriched, protected, nitrogenated heterocycles with different ring sizes have been synthesized by a very efficient methodology consisting of the asymmetric transfer hydrogenation of N-(tert-butylsulfinyl)haloimines followed by treatment with a base to promote an intramolecular nucleophilic substitution process. N-protected aziridines, pyrrolidines, piperidines, and azepanes bearing aromatic, heteroaromatic, and aliphatic substituents have been obtained in very high yields and diastereomeric ratios up to >99:1. The free heterocycles can be easily obtained by a simple and mild desulfinylation procedure. Both enantiomers of the free heterocycles can be prepared with the same good results by changing the absolute configuration of the sulfur atom of the sulfinyl group.
Amylopectinosis in Fetal and Neonatal Quarter Horses (1999)

Three Quarter Horses, a stillborn filly (horse No. 1), a female fetus aborted at approximately 6 months of gestation (horse No. 2), and a 1-month-old colt that had been weak at birth (horse No. 3), had myopathy characterized histologically by large spherical or ovoid inclusions in skeletal and cardiac myofibers. Smaller inclusions were also found in brain and spinal cord and in some cells of all other tissues examined. These inclusions were basophilic, red-purple after staining with periodic acid-Schiff (both before and after digestion with diastase), and moderately dark blue after staining with toluidine blue. The inclusions did not react when stained with Congo red. Staining with iodine ranged from pale blue to black. Their ultrastructural appearance varied from amorphous to somewhat filamentous. On the basis of staining characteristics and diastase resistance, we concluded that these inclusions contained amylopectin. A distinctly different kind of inclusion material was also present in skeletal muscle and tongue of horse Nos. 1 and 3. These inclusions were crystalline with a sharply defined ultrastructural periodicity. The crystals were eosinophilic and very dark blue when stained with toluidine blue but did not stain with iodine. Crystals sometimes occurred freely within the myofibers but more often were encased by deposits of amylopectin. This combination of histologic and ultrastructural features characterizes a previously unreported storage disease in fetal and neonatal Quarter Horses, with findings similar to those of glycogen storage disease type IV. We speculate that a severe inherited loss of glycogen brancher enzyme activity may be responsible for these findings. The relation of amylopectinosis to the death of the foals is unknown.
SemView: a semantic-sensitive distributed image retrieval system (2003)

State-of-the-art image retrieval techniques have been developed to support high-level (semantics) querying and browsing of images. For certain user queries, it is also very important to know about the information about the remote image databases on the Internet so that the queries can be guided toward the most relevant databases. In this paper, we introduce a novel system, Sem View, which supports both visual and semantic queries and intelligently ranks the distributed image databases for the queries. Our system summarizes the visual and semantic contents of each database in a metadatabase, which is a collection of automatically generated visual, semantic and statistical metadata. With the metadatabase, our system can effectively guide the user queries toward the most relevant image databases in a distributed environment for better retrieval performance.
Telos: representing knowledge about information systems (1990)

We describe Telos, a language intended to support the development of information systems. The design principles for the language are based on the premise that information system development is knowledge intensive and that the primary responsibility of any language intended for the task is to be able to formally represent the relevent knowledge. Accordingly, the proposed language is founded on concepts from knowledge representations. Indeed, the language is appropriate for representing knowledge about a variety of worlds related to a particular information system, such as the subject world (application domain), the usage world (user models, environments), the system world (software requirements, design), and the development world (teams, metodologies). We introduce the features of the language through examples, focusing on those provided for desribing metaconcepts that can then be used to describe knowledge relevant to a particular information system. Telos' fetures include an object-centered framework which supports aggregation, generalization, and classification; a novel treatment of attributes; an explicit representation of time; and facilities for specifying integrity constraints and deductive rules. We review actual applications of the language through further examples, and we sketch a formalization of the language.
Wolfram (DIDMOAD) syndrome. (1997)

Wolfram syndrome (MIM 222300) is the association of juvenile onset diabetes mellitus and optic atrophy, also known as DIDMOAD (Diabetes Insipidus, Diabetes Mellitus, Optic Atrophy, and Deafness). Patients present with diabetes mellitus followed by optic atrophy in the first decade, cranial diabetes insipidus and sensorineural deafness in the second decade, dilated renal outflow tracts early in the third decade, and multiple neurological abnormalities early in the fourth decade. Other abnormalities include primary gonadal atrophy. Death occurs prematurely, often from respiratory failure associated with brainstem atrophy. Most patients eventually develop all complications of this progressive, neurodegenerative disorder. The pathogenesis is unknown, but the prevalence is 1 in 770000 in the UK and inheritance is autosomal recessive. A Wolfram gene has recently been mapped to chromosome 4p16.1, but there is evidence for locus heterogeneity, and it is still possible that a minority of patients may harbour a mitochondrial genome deletion. The best available diagnostic criteria are juvenile onset diabetes mellitus and optic atrophy, but there is a wide differential diagnosis which includes other causes of neurodegeneration.
