FAST: functional avionics system tester (2002)

A description is given of the functional avionics system tester (FAST), which is structured to test weapon replaceable assemblies (WRA) functionally and to make greater use of the WRA built-in-test hardware and software. FAST will be used to test certain WRAs that are part of the avionics upgrade from the F-14D fighter. It will be used in a depot environment until the Consolidated Automated Support System is operational. FAST has a small physical footprint (4-ft wide by 3-ft deep), achieved primarily by its instruments-on-a-board design approach. The FAST test station is described in detail, and block diagrams are provided.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>

High-resolution LIDAR-based Depth Mapping using Bilateral Filter (2016)

High resolution depth-maps, obtained by upsampling sparse range data from a 3D-LIDAR, find applications in many fields ranging from sensory perception to semantic segmentation and object detection. Upsampling is often based on combining data from a monocular camera to compensate the low-resolution of a LIDAR. This paper, on the other hand, introduces a novel framework to obtain dense depth-map solely from a single LIDAR point cloud; which is a research direction that has been barely explored. The formulation behind the proposed depth-mapping process relies on local spatial interpolation, using sliding-window (mask) technique, and on the Bilateral Filter (BF) where the variable of interest, the distance from the sensor, is considered in the interpolation problem. In particular, the BF is conveniently modified to perform depth-map upsampling such that the edges (foreground-background discontinuities) are better preserved by means of a proposed method which influences the range-based weighting term. Other methods for spatial upsampling are discussed, evaluated and compared in terms of different error measures. This paper also researches the role of the mask's size in the performance of the implemented methods. Quantitative and qualitative results from experiments on the KITTI Database, using LIDAR point clouds only, show very satisfactory performance of the approach introduced in this work.
Risk taking in civil law negotiations. (1990)

The decision to negotiate a civil law dispute involves little risk, whereas the decision to go to trial is a risky alternative.Prospect theory predicts that when individuals must choose between such alternatives, they will either (a) be biased toward the risk-free alternative in again frame (i.e., when they perceive both prospects as gains), or (b) be biased toward the risky alternative in aloss frame. The decision of the plaintiff to either continue negotiations or go to trial is typically done in a gain frame; the defendant has to choose between losses. Thus, it was hypothesized that plaintiffs are risk aversive and defendants risk seeking in negotiations. Alternatively, it was hypothesized that parties who expect to prevail at trial are risk aversive, and parties who expect to lose are risk seeking. In four experiments, with both laymen and law students as subjects, the first hypothesis received some support, and the second hypothesis was strongly supported.
Effective estimation of speed and rotor position of a PM synchronous motor drive by a Kalman filtering technique (2003)

The estimation of the speed and the rotor position of a permanent magnet synchronous motor drive by means of a stochastic filtering technique is considered. The proposed estimation algorithm does not require knowledge of the mechanical parameters and initial rotor position, thus overcoming two of the biggest drawbacks of the speed and position estimation systems already developed. In addition, the estimation algorithm is merged with a predictive algorithm for the control of the motor currents. The two algorithms share some routines, which reduces the computational burden.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>
From Visual Semantic Parameterization to Graphic Visualization (2006)

Visualizing natural language description is a difficult and complex task. When dealing with the process of generating images from natural language descriptions, we firstly should consider the real world and find out what key visual information can be extracted from the sentences which represents the most fundament concepts in both virtual and real environments. In this paper, we present the result of a prototype system called 3DSV (3D Story Visualiser) that generates a virtual scene by using simplified story-based descriptions. In particular, we describe the methodology used to parameterize the visual and describable words into XML formatted data structure. Then we discuss how to interpret the parameterized data and create an interactive real-time 3D virtual environment.
Effects of Emulsifying Agents on the Microstructure and Other Characteristics of Process Cheese - A Review (1985)

Sodium phosphates , polyphosphates, and citrates are melting salts (emulsifying agents) most commonly used in the manufacture of process cheese either alone or in mixtures . Their role during processing is to sequester calcium in the natural cheese, to solubilize protein and increase its hydration and swelling, to facilitate emul sification of fat , and to adjust and stabilize pH. Changes taking place in natural cheese during processing can be studied by microscopy. Micrographs demonstrating the emulsification of fat , presence of salt crystals, and partial solubilization of protein in labo ratory- made and commercial process cheeses have been used to illustrate the various effects of the emulsifying agents. Optical, particularly polarizing and fluorescence microscopy provides rapid information. Electron microscopy reveals greater detai 1. In combination with energy dispersive spectrometry, electron microscopy can be used to analyze the chemical composition of salt crystals in the process cheese. However, detailed studies of the relationships existing among the microstructure of the process cheese, its composition , and physical properties such as consistency, spreadability, capability of remelting etc. have yet to be carried out.
Digestion of soybean globulins, glycinin, α-conglycinin and β-conglycinin in the preruminant and the ruminant calf (1993)

Two experiments involving either preruminant (exp. 1) or ruminant (exp. 2) fistulated calves were conducted to study the in vivo digestion of glycinin, α-conglycinin and β-conglycinin from soybean. It was incorporated as a flour (product A, antigenic in vitro) or a protein concentrate (product B, non antigenic in vitro) in milk replacers (exp. 1), or as a meal (product C, antigenic in vitro) in a weaning starter (exp. 2). ELISA detection of residual globulin immunoreactivity was determined on ileal digesta in exp. 1, and on duodenal, ileal and faecal digesta in exp. 2. Ileal flow of glycinin, α-conglycinin and β-conglycinin represented 10.3, 1.2 and 0.9% of corresponding globulin amounts ingested, in the case of product A (exp. 1). Immunoreactive α-conglycinin could only be detected in ileal digesta (1.3% of intake) of calves fed the diet containing product B. In exp. 2, immunoreactive globulins entered the duodenum in low amounts (below 1% of respective intake), especially after weaning. Accordingly, their flow at the ileum and in feces, although measurable, had no meaning from the nutritional point of view. Fermentation in the rumen of weaned calves appeared to be efficient in inactivating most of the potentially harmful dietary constituents. Key words: Soybean, protein, digestion, calf, weaning, glycinin
Introduction to the Trilogy: Mythologies of Organizational Everyday Life (2008)

Myths about organizations and about organizational actors are powerful stories that touch something profound in the reader or listener. They can help us see and understand many important phenomena that are invisible to the rational instrumental mind. This is not universally acknowledged, perhaps due to a large extent to the dominance of that instrumental mind for the past decades and centuries. Furthermore, myths stem from the sacred realm of experience and many people consider business and work organizations as emphatically profane — for an exploration of the distinction between sacred and profane see Eliade (1961) and Armstrong (2005/2006). However, there are times where these two realms meet, for example in ethnographic stories of organizations, where the actors draw on the realm of shared spiritual experience when referring to values and important events. Myths provide a language for these accounts, as well as ideas which people relate to when dealing with the most vital questions.
A previously diagnosed mitochondrial neurogastrointestinal encephalomyopathy patient presenting with perforated ileal diverticulitis. (2005)

Mitochondrial neurogastrointestinal encephalomyopathy is an autosomal recessive multisystem disorder characterized clinically by severe gastrointestinal dysmotility; cachexia; ptosis, opthalmoparesis or both; peripheral neuropathy; leukoencephalopathy and mitochondrial abnormalities in muscle. Gastrointestinal dysmotility causes intestinal pseudo-obstruction and small intestinal diverticula. In this case report, we present a previously diagnosed 32-year-old female mitochondrial neurogastrointestinal encephalomyopathy syndrome patient who was hospitalized and operated due to ileal diverticulitis perforation and died due to postoperative respiratory complications, and we discuss the characteristic manifestations of the disease.
An in vitro ligation and transfection system for inserting DNA sequences into the latency-associated transcripts (LATs) gene of herpes simplex virus type 1. (1994)

This report describes a simple, rapid and highly efficient method for introducing specific DNA sequences into a defined locus of the herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) genome by restriction enzyme cleavage and ligation. The genome of the HSV-1 strain HFEM contains a 4.1 kb deletion in one copy of the RL region, deleting one copy of the latency-associated transcript (LAT) gene. It does not contain any site for restriction enzyme PacI. Two unique PacI restriction enzyme sites flanking an HSV-1 ICP6 promoter-LacZ reporter gene cassette were engineered into the LAT region to generate a recombinant virus HFEM/ICP6-LacZ which produced blue plaques in the presence of X-gal. This viral vector allowed the insertion of foreign genes directly into the HSV-1 genome by restriction enzyme digestion and ligation. The system was tested by digesting the HFEM/ICP6-LacZ DNA with PacI and with SwaI (an endogenous unique restriction enzyme site upstream of the LAT promoter locus and inserting by in vitro ligation a LAT promoter-LacZ gene cassette into the HFEM/ICP6-LacZ genome. The new recombinant virus HFEM/LAT-LacZ was detected as white plaques in the presence of X-gal, since beta-galactosidase expression, when driven by the LAT promoter, is not detectable during viral replication in tissue culture. The high yield (approximately 100%) of the recombinant virus obtainable from this in vitro ligation and transfection procedure coupled with a blue-white or reversible white-blue plaque detection scheme makes this a powerful method for constructing HSV-1 vectors around the LAT promoter locus.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
Synthesis and Pharmacological Testing of Dequalinium Analogues as Blockers of the Apamin-Sensitive Ca<sup>2+</sup>-Activated K<sup>+</sup> Channel:  Variation of the Length of the Alkylene Chain (1996)

Dequalinium is a potent and selective blocker of the small conductance Ca(2+)-activated K+ (SKCa) channel in rat sympathetic neurones. Analogues of dequalinium possessing 3-6, 8, 10, and 12 methylene groups in the linking chain have been synthesized and tested for inhibition of the afterhyperpolarization in rat sympathetic neurones. The compounds having a 5-12-carbon chain showed very little variation in their activity as SKCa channel blockers. The analogues possessing four and three methylenes exhibited 3- and 8-fold lower potency, respectively, compared with dequalinium. These results are discussed in the context of possible modes of binding of the compounds to the SKCa channel.
Anthelmintic resistance in human helminths: a review (2001)

We briefly review reports on drug resistance in human helminths and compare the factors which contribute to the development of anthelmintic resistance in livestock and man, i.e. high treatment frequency, single-drug regimens, targeting and timing of mass treatments and underdosing. Conclusions are drawn from the mistakes in the treatment and control of livestock helminths. The advantages and inconveniences of current methods for the detection of drug resistance in helminths of livestock are discussed and some suggestions are put forward to standardize the tests for the detection of resistance in human helminths. Finally, based on veterinary experience, some recommendations are made to reduce the risks of development of drug resistance in human helminths. The dramatic and rapid spread of resistance to all major classes of veterinary anthelmintics should be a warning against too strong a reliance on drugs in helminth control programmes.
[The activity of the sodium-potassium pump of the mesenteric arteries and veins in normal rats and in DOCA-salt hypertension]. (1991)

The activity of sodium-potassium pump was studied in mesenteric arteries and veins of rats, as well as its inhibition effect upon catecholamine-induced contractile responses and the time of relaxation of these vessels in normal rats and in those with DOCA-salt hypertension. The activity was measured by 86Rb [correction of 86Rh] up-take. A difference in the ouabain-sensitive take-up was found between arteries and veins. It was higher in normotensive rats' veins than in arteries; in hypertension, the activity of the pump tended to decrease in arteries and sharply increased in veins. Inhibition of the pump with ouabain reduced arteries' contractile responses to noradrenaline and phenylephrine in normotensive animals, whereas in hypertension the effect involved all the types of stimulation leaving intact the contractions of venous vessels. Ouabain increased the period of relaxation of arteries and veins in some types of stimulation in normal as well as in hypertensive rats.
Quality Control of Traditional Cannabis Tinctures: Pattern, Markers, and Stability (2016)

Traditional tinctures of <i>Cannabis sativa</i> L. became obsolete before elucidation of the main cannabinoids and routine quality testing for medicines. In view of increasing medicinal use of cannabinoids and associated safety concerns, tinctures from a Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC)-type chemovar were studied. High-performance liquid chromatography with diode-array detection (HPLC/DAD) was used to determine THC, Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinolic acid A (THCA), cannabinol (CBN), cannabidiol (CBD), cannabidiolic acid (CBDA), cannabigerol (CBG), cannabigerolic acid (CBGA), cannflavin A/B, and total phenolics. Derived group and ratio markers describe absolute and relative profiles when varying plant part (flos, folium), extraction solvent (EtOH percentage), storage conditions ('shelf' or 'fridge' up to 15 months), and pasteurization (2 h 70 °C, 20 min 80 °C). Tinctures from female flowering tops contained ten-fold more cannabinoids than tinctures from leaves; tinctures (80%-90% EtOH) contained ten-fold more cannabinoids than tinctures (40% EtOH). The analysis of CBGA + CBG, the main co-cannabinoids aside from THCA + THC, appears more relevant than CBDA + CBD. The decarboxylation of THCA to THC-the main change during storage of freshly prepared tinctures-is after 15 months in the 'fridge' comparable to 3 months on the 'shelf'. Minimally increased CBN totals did not correlate to diminished totals of THCA and THC (up to 15% after 3 months 'shelf', 45% after 15 months 'fridge'). Instead, total cannabinoids or acidic/neutral cannabinoid ratios are better stability markers. Moderate changes after pasteurization and partial losses below 10% for total cannabinoids after 9 months 'fridge' indicate possibilities for a reasonable shelf life. Yet storage and use of non-stabilized tinctures remain critical without authorized specification and stability data because a consistent cannabinoid content is not guaranteed.

On the Lubrication of Short Porous Journal Bearings—Use of the Brinkman Model (1995)

Based on the Brinkman model (MB), this paper concerns the more realistic influence of viscous shear stresses on the lubrication performance of short porous journal bearings. Compared with those using the zero pressure gradient assumption (ZPGA), the effect of LPGA provides an improvement in the bearing performance, especially when the thick-walled bearing has higher permeability parameter or the journal operates at higher eccentricity ratio.
Cottonseed and Cottonseed Products: Their Chemistry and Chemical Technology (1949)

This monograph, dealing with the chemistry and technology.of cottonseed, is written by some twenty-five different authors, each treating a different phase of the cottonseed industry. The book is divided into five general topics, each of which has several chapters. The first section deals with the history of the cottonseed industry and its present status in the various cotton-producing countries of the world. The second and largest section treats in detail the composition and characteristics of cottonseed. This includes sections on the structure of the seed, conditions affecting cottonseed composition, the biologic processes of cottonseed and the various chemical constituents which have been found in cottonseed. The grading and evaluation of cottonseed and its primary products—oil, cake, meal and linters —are discussed in the third section, while the fourth general topic is that of cottonseed processing; that is, the methods used to obtain the primary products. The final section deals with
Genotoxic effects of gossypol acetic acid on cultured murine erythroleukemia cells (1991)

Gossypol acetic acid, a male anti-fertility drug, was evaluated for its effects on cell multiplication, chromosomes, scheduled and unscheduled DNA synthesis, and the surface ultrastructure in cultured murine erythroleukemia cells (clone 6A11A). Gossypol treatments inhibited cell multiplication at 10 and 20 micrograms/ml concentrations and this inhibitory effect increased with elevated dosage and prolonged treatment. Gossypol significantly depressed the mitotic index but did not alter chromosome numbers or increase the frequency of chromosomal structural abnormalities. Cell fraction techniques revealed that gossypol induced a negative effect on cellular DNA synthesis at concentrations as low as 3.3 micrograms/ml after 24 hr of treatment. The number of cells undergoing DNA synthesis decreased with increasing dosages and durations of drug exposure. An unscheduled DNA synthesis assay (UDS) found gossypol to be an active UDS-inducing agent at certain dose levels and treatment times, as measured by increase in net nuclear gain and percentage of UDS cells (ANOVA, Bonferroni test, P less than 0.05). A scanning electron microscope study revealed that 10 micrograms/ml treatment with gossypol caused changes in mouse erythroleukemia cell surface ultrastructure characterized by general balding and the appearance of holes, often after 48 hr of treatment.
Synchrotron radiation instrumentation and macromolecular crystallography (1992)

Highlights of a workshop on synchrotron radiation intrumentation and macromolecular crystallography, a satellite meeting of the 4th International Conference on Synchrotron Radiation Instrumentation, will be presented. The theme of the meeting was to look towards the developments on the next generation of high brilliance SR sources current under construction. Macromolecular crystallography needs span a very wide range of technical requirments covering the most demanding uses of SR. It is a rapidly expanding field. (AIP)
Murder—Drunkenness—Insane and Non-Insane Automatism (1962)

It may be thought that the most important aspect of the decision of the House of Lords in Bratty v. Att.-Gen. for Northern Ireland [1961] 3 W.L.R. 965 is the opportunity it gives for qualifying some of the dicta in Director of Public Prosecutions v. Smith [1961] A.C. 290. Lord Morris of Borth-y-Gest (with whom Lords Tucker and Hodson expressed concurrence) referred to the “golden” rule in Woolmington , and said: “In a charge of murder, malice may by implication be proved where death occurs as the result of a voluntary act of the accused which is (i) intentional and (ii) unprovoked. When evidence of death and malice has been given an accused person may, however, either by adducing evidence or by examining the circumstances adduced by the Crown, show that his actions were either unintentional or provoked. In such a situation the continuing and constant obligation of the prosecution to satisfy the jury beyond any reasonable doubt is in no way abated.”
[Toxicological and immunological aspects of scorpion venom (Tytius pachyurus): neutralizing capacity of antivenoms produced in Latin America]. (2004)

The toxicity and immunochemical properties of Tityus pachyurus Pocock scorpion venom was characterized, as well as the neutralization capacity against it by three anti-scorpion antivenoms (Alacramyn, Instituto Bioclón, México; Suero antiescorpiónico, Instituto Butantán, Sao Paulo, Brasil; and Suero antiescorpiónico, Centro de Biotecnología, Universidad Central de Venezuela, Caracas, Venezuela). The venom yield, obtained by manual milking, 680+/-20 microg venom, a 50% lethal dose in mice was 4.8 microg/kg (90 microg for an 18-20 g mouse). The most common symptoms of venom poisoning in mice were sialorrhea, respiratory distress, profuse sweating, ataxia, behavior alterations (restlessness, somnolence) and hyperglycemia at 3 and 24 hours after subcutaneous venom injection (0.5 LD50). The neutralizing capacity of Bioclón (México City) and Butantán (Sao Paulo) antivenoms (for a 50% effective dose) was 330 and 292 microg venom/ml antivenom, respectively. The Biotecnología (Caracas) antivenom did not neutralize the lethal effect of venom. By electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) was demonstrated that the venom contains proteins from less than 14 kd to 97 kd. The Western blots indicated immunological reactivity of the three antivenoms with most of venom components, including proteins of low molecular mass (<14 kd). The results allow to conclude that T. pachyurus venom is neutralized efficiently by anti-scorpion antivenoms produced in México and Brasil.
