External and internal memory aids: When and how often do we use them? (1986)

What kinds of memory aids do people use to help them remember in their daily lives? Depending on the situation, they may use internal aids (e.g., mental rehearsal, imagery) of the types usually studied in the laboratory or external aids (e.g., reminder notes, asking someone else), which are rarely investigated but may be often used. College students indicated that they used external memory aids more often than internal aids (a) to prepare for future remembering than to remember past situations, (b) to remember spatial tasks than to remember verbal tasks, and (c) to remember to do things in the past than to remember information from the past. External aids were rated as more dependable, easier to use, more accurate, and more preferred than internal ones. At least one external aid, taking notes, affects encoding and not just retrieval, as shown by (a) its facilitation of remembering even when the notes were not available as retrieval cues, and (b) its induction of greater categorization of the to-be-remembered items than the use of some other memory aids.
Design and Test of Integrated Inductors for RF Applications (2004)

Design and Test of Integrated Inductors for RF Applications is intended for engineers who are starting out in the design of integrated inductors, this due to the fact that it describes the whole design flow, basic selection of the geometry, optimisation of the quality by redesigning the geometry, measurement and de-embedding and characterisation. Secondly it will help the designer with much experience in this field, this due to the fact that, based on empirical data, some design rules that have been widely used by the design community have been proved to be really conservative and breaking them leads up to higher quality designs

Algorithm for detecting human faces based on convex-hull (2002)

In this paper, we proposed a new method to detect faces in color based on the convex-hull. We detect two kinds of regions that are skin and hair likeness region. After preprocessing, we apply the convex-hull to their regions and can find a face from their intersection relationship. The proposed algorithm can accomplish face detection in an image involving rotated and turned faces as well as several faces. To validity the effectiveness of the proposed method, we make experiment with various cases.
An Analysis of Meteorological Measurements Using a Miniature Quad-Rotor Unmanned Aerial System (2015)

Naval operational weather products, especially EM prediction, often fail to capture key meteorological features in the boundary layer due to the absence of high-resolution profile data. Quad-rotor sUAS with meteorological sensing capabilities may provide a solution for acquiring vertical profile data at sea. With the use of an RS92 radiosonde, InstantEye small Unmanned Aerial System (sUAS), and a calibrated sensing tower we analyzed the effects a quad-rotor had on the accuracy of temperature and pressure profiles in the surface layer. In unstable atmospheres temperature measurements made in the surface layer are as accurate as the manufacturers claimed accuracy. In stable atmospheres mixing occurs below 1.3 m, and above 2 m sampled air comes from as much as 2 m aloft. The InstantEye’s rotors contribute to the variation in temperature measurement, and this effect is strongest near the surface. The variations introduced by the prop-wash helped suppress natural variations from turbulent fluctuations, but are still present above the surface layer. The InstantEye also introduces a 0.12 hPa pressure bias while in flight due to rotor-induced lift.

Assays for human telomerase activity: progress and prospects (2012)

Human telomerase is a ribonucleoprotein complex that functions as a telomere terminal transferase by adding multiple TTAGGG hexamer repeats using its integral RNA as the template. There is a very strong association between telomerase activity and malignancy in nearly all types of cancer, suggesting that telomerase could be used not only as a diagnostic and prognostic marker but also as a therapeutic target for managing cancer. The significant progress in biomedical telomerase research has necessitated the development of new bioanalytical methods for the rapid, sensitive, and reliable detection of telomerase activity in a particular cell or clinical tissue and body fluids. In this review, we highlight some of the latest methods for identifying telomerase activity and inhibition and discuss some of the challenges for designing innovative telomerase assays. We also summarise the current technologies and speculate on future directions for telomerase testing.
Ferroelectric switching in columnar phases of novel chiral discotic liquid crystals (1995)

Novel 2,3,6,7,9,10-hexasubstituted phenanthrene derivatives have been synthesized, which showed broad enantiotropic columnar phases. A mixture of one representative bearing six (S)-2-methyl-3-oxa-decanoyloxy side chains with its 1,2,3,6,7,8-hexasubstituted structural isomer showed a tilted columnar phase and exhibited ferroelectrical switching with a maximum spontaneous polarization of 54 nC cm–2. Here the detailed investigations of the electrical and optical properties of this mixture are presented. The possible phase structure is also discussed.
In Search of an Objective Measure for the Perceptual Quality of Printed Images (2004)

Dit onderzoek heeft betrekking op objectieve maten waarmee de perceptieve kwaliteit van geprinte beelden (drukwerk) bepaald kan worden. In het bijzonder zijn twee perceptieve grootheden bestudeerd: scherpte en kleur. Voor scherpte zijn twee nieuwe maten gepresenteerd: met de eerste maat kan de scherpte van een beeld bepaald worden ten opzichte van een referentiebeeld, met de andere kan de scherpte bepaald worden als een kenmerk van het beeld zelf, in plaats van in relatie tot een origineel beeld. Beide maten corresponderen met perceptieve scherpte. Bij het kleurengedeelte is met name gekeken naar de effecten van een manipulatie die de verdeling van de luminantie verandert. De uitkomsten van de proefpersonen waren in die zin voorspelbaar dat hun effect op de perceptieve kwaliteit een duidelijk maximum vertoonde; met een dergelijke voorspelbaarheid kan een objectieve kwaliteitsmaat gemaakt worden. Alle apparaten waarop beelden weergegeven worden kunnen slechts een beperkte set kleuren, de gamut, reproduceren. Beperkingen van de gamut worden normaal gesproken niet meegenomen bij beeldverbetering. Een generieke methode werd gepresenteerd waarin deze beperkingen wel meegenomen worden, waardoor grijswaarden-beeldbewerking zonder meer toegepast kan worden op kleurenbeelden, zonder dat kleuren gegenereerd worden die buiten de gamut vallen. In een wat meer speculatief gedeelte van de studie is onderzocht hoe de karakteristieken van de gamut beeldkwaliteit zouden kunnen beÃ¯nvloeden. Een kwaliteitsmaat is voorgesteld waarmee de optimale lichtheidsverdeling voor een beeld voorspeld kan worden.
Combining Hyaluronic Acid with Chitosan Enhances Gene Delivery (2014)

The low gene transfer efficiency of chitosan‐DNA polyplexes is a consequence of their high stability and consequent slow DNA release. The incorporation of an anionic polymer is believed to loosen chitosan interactions with DNA and thus promote higher transfection efficiencies. In this work, several formulations of chitosan‐DNA polyplexes incorporating hyaluronic acid were prepared and characterized for their gene transfection efficiency on both HEK293 and retinal pigment epithelial cells. The different polyplex formulations showed morphology, size, and charge compatible with a role in gene delivery. The incorporation of hyaluronic acid rendered the formulations less stable, as was the goal, but it did not affect the loading and protection of the DNA. Compared with chitosan alone, the transfection efficiency had a 4‐fold improvement, which was attributed to the presence of hyaluronic acid. Overall, our hybrid chitosan‐hyaluronic acid polyplexes showed a significant improvement of the efficiency of chitosan‐based nonviral vectors in vitro , suggesting that this strategy can further improve the transfection efficiency of nonviral vectors.
Growth Factors (1989)

† In the last few years, the field of peptide growth factors has exploded with new knowledge and potential therapeutic applications. We review some of these important aspects of growth factors with regard to the field of dermatology. (<i>Arch Dermatol</i>. 1989;125:1390-1398)
[The role of free radical oxidation in the regulation of growth and lipid formation in eukaryotic and prokaryotic organisms]. (1987)

The review considers the effect of free-radical oxidation on the growth of microorganisms, intensity of their metabolism, and composition of the membrane lipids. Using both own research evidence and this presented in the literature, the authors put forward a hypothesis about a certain correlation between physico-chemical properties of the membrane lipids and the intensity of the growth of eucaryotic and procaryotic microorganisms.
Dynamic routing for shared path protection in multidomain optical mesh networks (2006)

The routing problem for shared path protection in multidomain optical mesh networks is more difficult than that in single-domain mesh networks due to the lack of complete and global knowledge of the network topology and bandwidth allocation. To overcome this difficulty, we propose an aggregated network modeling by underestimation with a two-step routing strategy. In the first step, a rough routing solution is sketched in a virtual network that is the topology aggregation of the multidomain network. A complete routing is then determined by solving routing problems within the original single-domain networks. The first step can be solved by either using an exact mathematical program or a heuristic, whereas the second step is always solved by heuristics. Computational results show the relevance of the aggregated network modeling. They also prove the scalability of the proposed routing for multidomain networks and its efficiency in comparison with the optimal solution obtained by use of the complete information scenario. In addition, we believe that short working paths lead to a higher possibility of sharing backup resources between backup paths. Our mathematical program model minimizes the total requested resources and at the same time provides a short working path, resulting in a further overall saving of resources.

Water Relations in Winter Wheat as Drought Resistance Indicators (1988)

Although drought is recognized as an important limitation to wheat ( Triticum aestivum L.) production in many regions, drought resistance selection techniques are not adequately developed. In 1984–1985 and 1985–1986, field experiments were conducted in Stillwater, OK, to determine potential drought resistance parameters and their inheritance in winter wheat. Single plants of drought resistant ‘TAM W‐101’ and drought susceptible ‘Sturdy’, their F 1 and F 2 progeny, and backcrosses of the F 1 to each parent were evaluated under a rain shelter. Tiller number was recorded throughout the growing season. As stress developed during reproductive development, water potential (WP), solute potential (SP), turgor potential (TP), relative water content (RWC) were measured at 7‐ to 10‐d intervals on single leaves until tlag leaf senescence. Tiller number and growth rate were similar among the six populations. Water potential, WP components, and RWC declined with increasing drought stress, but no significant differences among populations were found, in WP, SP, or TP. Relative water content differed significantly among populations under increasing drought stress. TAM W‐101 maintained a higher RWC under drought conditions than Sturdy, and had a longer grain‐filling period. Comparison of the RWC values among populations indicated that differences were controlled predominantly by genes with additive effects. Narrow‐sense heritability ( h 2 ) of RWC increased as drought stress intensified and reached a maximum value of 0.64 1 wk prior to flag leaf senescence. With this high h 2 , RWC shows promise as a selection criterion for drought resistance in winter wheat.
Efficacy of Antibacterial Activity of Antibiotics Ciprofloxacin and Gentamycin Improved with Anti Depressant Drug, Escitalopram (2013)

Escitalopram oxalate was shown to inhibit the in vitro growth of microbial infections. Generally Escitalopram used in the treatment of depression, but having other pharmacological action of antimicrobial activity. A total of five strains were studied to determine whether the anti depressant drug Escitalopram used in combination with the conventional antibiotic Gentamycin and Ciprofloxacin synergistically augments the efficacy of the antibiotic in vitro. The effect of combination was evaluated by MIC determination by turbidity method and disc diffusion method Escitalopram was synergistic with Gentamycin and Ciprofloxacin against tested organisms Gram-positive clinical isolates like staphylococcus aureus NCIM 2079, Gram-negative organisms such as pseudomonas aeruginosa NCIM 2036, klebsiella pneumonia NCIM 2719, proteus mirabilis, enterobator cloacae NCIM 2164. From the results of MIC Escitalopram oxalate against staph aureus 1000 µg/ml, enterococcus faecalis is 1000 µg/ml, pseudo flatulence1000 µg/ml, Klebsiella pneumonia 250 µg/ml, proteus mirabilis 500 µg/ml whereas in combination there was two, three fold reduction of MIC. Thus, the ability of extended antibiotic therapy may be improved with the help of this synergistic drug pair in micro organisms. The Significance of such findings may indicate parallel administration of antidepressant with antibiotics against micro organisms.
Fully automated, all-enzymatic triglyceride method adapted to the GEMSAEC centrifugal analyzer, with use of an aqueous triolein standard. (1974)

We describe a completely automated enzymatic method for estimating serum triglycerides with a centrifugal analyzer (ENI-GEMSAEC). Accuracy and precision (CV, 2 to 4.8%) and the upper limit of linearity (400 mg/100 ml) are monitored by use of newly developed, clear, aqueous triolein standards. A modified computer program (FOCAL 8) is used for data manipulation and correcting absorbance to zero reaction time. Results cornpare well with those obtained by an automated fluorometric procedure and a manual enzymatic procedure.

Ofrenda de Dona Urraca a Santa María de Lugo (2006)

Treatment of N,N-dimethyl 2-[2-(2-ethynylphenyl)ethynyl]anilines (1) with 1.2 equiv of iodine in CH(2)Cl(2) gave benzo[a]carbazoles (2) in good yields. Mechanistic studies showed this reaction must go through the haloindole (3) followed by iodonium ion catalyzed atom-transfer cyclization reaction to give the benzo[a]carbazoles.
Immune response and AIDS. (2000)

This article presents an interview with Dr. Sharilyn K. Stanley regarding her study on how immune system activation boosts HIV replication in HIV-infected people. Asked to give a brief outline of the study, Stanley noted that a single booster dose of tetanus toxoid was given to HIV-infected and uninfected volunteers in order to stimulate their immune system. In the evaluation that followed, high levels of HIV circulating in the blood of HIV-infected patients and uninfected individuals were found. In terms of insights gained into the cellular environment and how the immune system works, Stanley specified that previous work has shown the regulation of HIV expression by cytokines, the molecules that the immune system uses to signal itself. Moreover, Stanley comments that by rapidly and effectively diagnosing and treating infections associated with HIV, a huge increase in virus may be avoided when the immune systems of HIV-infected people are activated. Furthermore, future studies complementing the findings of the study and proposed studies in developing countries were revealed by Stanley.

Second Order Prediction on H.264/AVC (2009)

Based on a relatively simple motion assumption, the technique of motion-compensated prediction will result in large residue when dealing with video contents containing complex motions. To achieve higher coding efficiency, this paper presents a method named second order prediction (SOP) to exploit remaining signal correlation after motion-compensated prediction. Demonstration and analysis on the SOP concept are provided along with its technical details. Experimental results show that the proposed SOP can outperform H.264/AVC P-picture coding 10.28% bit-rate saving under the same PSNR.
Power factor correction converter using delay control (2000)

A low cost universal input voltage single-controller power factor correction converter for a 200 W power supply is proposed. It consists of the PFC part followed by a DC-DC converter as in a conventional two-stage scheme. However a single PWM controller is used as in a single-stage PFC scheme. The switch in the PFC part is synchronized with the switch in the DC-DC converter and has a fixed frequency. Employing an adaptive delay scheme, the PPC switch is controlled to limit the capacitor voltage within a desired range for optimum efficiency and to reduce input current harmonic distortion. The design procedures of the delay scheme, the feedback loop, and experimented results are presented to verify the performance.
Multifunctional smartcards for electronic commerce-application of the role and task based security model (2002)

Electronic commerce demands different security requirements for its many different applications. In the near future one smartcard may be used for many electronic commerce applications, such as payment systems, access to banking services and financial transactions over the Internet. A role and task based security model (R&T model) can ensure a secure access to many different services through an application based security framework. It can be used and implemented in a multifunctional smartcard in order to ensure both the user's personal need for application based security and his right to informational self determination-as the fundamental right of privacy is defined in the German legal system. A successful application of the model can help the user navigate a secure way through the jungle of electronic commerce.
Fecal calprotectin in diagnosis and clinical assessment of inflammatory bowel disease (2014)

The fecal neutrophil-derived biomarker calprotectin has several features of an ideal noninvasive test for detecting intestinal inflammation: it is simple, reliable, and low in cost. Its utility in differentiating inflammatory bowel diseases (IBDs) from functional conditions such as irritable bowel syndrome is well documented. Fecal calprotectin (FC) correlates closely with endoscopic activity of IBD. Emerging evidence suggest its usefulness in serial monitoring of disease activity and of therapy success in IBD. A low FC concentration predicts persistence of clinical remission especially in non-symptomatic ulcerative colitis and Crohn's colitis. Here, an overview is given to the current role of FC in diagnosis and clinical assessment of IBD.
