The Identity and Generic Position of <i>Chauliodes disjunctus</i> Walker (Megaloptera: Corydalidae) (1951)

Walker (1866) described Chauliodes disjunctus on the basis of a single female from Vancouver Island. Davis (1903) identified males and females from California as belonging to this species and noted that the male antennae were pilose and as long as the head and thorax combined. Supposing Davis' observation to have been based on a broken specimen, van der Weele (1910) referred C. disjunctus to Neohermes Banks, 1908, as a close ally and probable synonym of Neohermes californicus (Walker), a species in the male of which the antennae are as long as the body and are provided with segmental whorls of long hair.
Solubility and Solution Thermodynamics of Betaine in Different Pure Solvents and Binary Mixtures (2012)

The solubility of betaine in water, methanol, ethanol, n-propanol, 2-propanol, and n-butanol and also in methanol + ethanol and ethanol + water binary mixtures has been experimentally measured using a laser monitoring observation technique. The modified Apelblat equation was used to correlate the solubility of betaine in the studied pure solvents. The solubility of betaine in the binary solvent mixtures was correlated by a hybrid model based on the Jouyban–Acree model and modified Apelblat equation. The associated P-values of terms for model were used to simplify the hybrid model, which reduced the number of the model parameters without affecting the values of mean percentage deviation (MPD) and R2. With these models the maximum MPD for studied solvents is 1.94. Thermodynamic functions including ΔHsoln0, ΔGsoln0, and ΔSsoln0 of solution of betaine were obtained from the modified van’t Hoff equation. A comparison of the relative contributions by enthalpy (ζH) and entropy (ζTS) was made (with ζH > 0.6 and even up to 0.99 in methanol), which indicated that the main contributor to the positive standard molar Gibbs energy of solution of betaine was enthalpy in both pure solvents and mixtures.
Transmission of Human Immunodeficiency Virus Type 1 by Dry-Heated Clotting Factor Concentrates(1) (1990)

The Transfusion Safety Study monitored susceptible persons for human immunodeficiency virus type f (HIV-1) infections transmitted by plasma products and blood components. Through December, 1988, 6 subjects without antibody to HIV-1 (anti-HIV-1) became seropositive after receiving dry-heated factor VIII concentrate. The preparations implicated in 3 cases were derived entirely from anti-HIV-l-screened donors. In all instances, HIV-1 infection could be explained by concentrates heated at 60°C for 24-30 h. Limiting consideration to concentrates and components administered after study entry showed that 4 of the séroconversions occurred among 122 subjects given 10 million units of factor VIII concentrates. No séroconversions occurred among 84 subjects given 5 million units of factor IX concentrates, or 83 who received components from over 26,000 unpaid donations. Serologic surveillance of anti-HIV-l-negative subjects provides important information, and should be routine in the management of persons receiving clotting factor concentrates.
Folgen des Dienstleistungsklimas für den Dienstleister (2001)

In dem vorliegenden Kapitel werden Ideen unterschiedlicher Theoriestränge genutzt, um potentielle Auswirkungen des Dienstleistungsklimas auf die Person des Dienstleisters zu beschreiben. Die theoretischen Konzepte werden, wo belegbar, anhand ihrer Bedeutung für Flugbegleiter veranschaulicht. Zum tieferen Verständnis möglicher Konsequenzen von Dienstleistungsklima auf die Person des Dienstleisters werden im ersten Teil zunächst die an Dienstleister gestellten grundlegenden Anforderungen dargelegt. Auf Basis der Rollentheorie wird das Konfliktpotential einer Interaktion zwischen Dienstleister und Bedientem verdeutlicht und die Bewältigung von Rollenkonflikten als zentrale Anforderung an Dienstleister herausgestellt. Darauf aufbauend wird anhand des Konzepts der Darstellungsregeln herausgearbeitet, welche Art von Rollenkonflikten für Dienstleister besondere Relevanz haben. Im zweiten Teil wird mithilfe des Ansatzes der emotionalen Arbeit erläutert, welche Möglichkeiten Dienstleister haben, mit den an sie gestellten Anforderungen umzugehen. Im dritten Teil dieses Kapitels wird gezeigt, daß sich der dazu notwendige psychische Aufwand sowohl positiv als auch negativ auf das Befinden des Dienstleisters auswirken kann Negative Folgen werden anhand des Burnout-Syndroms dargestellt; verschiedene positive Konsequenzen werden mit dem Begriff ‘emotionale Stärke’ zusammengefaßt. Im vierten Teil wird der Frage nach moderierenden Faktoren der potentiellen Folgen emotionaler Arbeit auf die Person des Dienstleisters nachgegangen. Im letzten Teil dieses Abschnitts werden Schlußfolgerungen für die Modellierung der Zusammenhänge von Dienstleistungsklima und den Folgen für den Dienstleister gezogen.
Crystal and molecular structure of tris-(1,10-phenanthroline)copper(II) perchlorate (1973)

Crystals are monoclinic, space group C2/c, with Z= 8 in a unit cell of dimensions: a= 35·98(5), b= 15·97(3), c= 12·20(3)Å, and β= 101·7(3)°. The structure was solved by Patterson and Fourier methods and refined by least-squares methods on alternate sets of atoms to R 0·133 for 2662 observed reflections. The monomeric complex cations exhibit a distorted octahedral configuration about copper(II), with equal distortions of the axial Cu–N bonds; mean Cu–N(eq) 2·04(1), mean Cu–N(ax) 2·33(1)Å.
An approach for managing project-communicated content (2017)

Project documentation is a crucial but effort-consuming communicated task in business related projects. To prepare, to write, and to maintain project documents is often considered a tiring and tedious work, especially during times of fleet project with the emphasized regarding short period and limited human forces. However, the context among most Project-communicated content and engineering management is highly interrelated. Based on the context among project-communicated content in projects especially for information development projects, this paper applied the concept of single sourcing and presents an effective approach utilizing object oriented method to clarify project-communicated content. This paper also implemented a prototype environment, OFPDE, with a case study and discussed results to illustrate the approach. The results were usable and applicable for managing project-communicated content.
Introducción fotográfica a los chroma key (2009)

Com sabemos, el proceso conocido como Chroma Key consiste en la creacion de imagenes donde el fondo y el primer termino de las mismas han sido rodados de forma independiente. Asi, usamos este proceso cuando queremos colocar a un actor con un fondo rodado en otro lugar, o en un espacio creado digitalmente, o en interaccion con dibujos. Tambien lo usamos para hacer desaparecer partes del actor o cambiar algunas zonas de fondos reales por otras distintas. El proceso consiste en obtener mascaras, esto es, una imagen con zonas opacas y zonas transparentes del primer termino que permiten ver u ocultar el fondo o este primer termino alternativamente hasta la composicion final. Este proceso no es nada nuevo y lo que ha cambiado respecto a su forma tradicional ha sido que con la irrupcion del mundo digital, ahora los Kroma Key se rueden en analogico digital, usan los programas de ordenador para la composicion de la imagen
Modification of acrylonitrile–butadiene–styrene terpolymer by grafting with maleic anhydride in the melt. I. Preparation and characterization (2003)

Abstract The graft copolymerization of maleic anhydride (MAH) onto acrylonitrile–butadiene–styrene terpolymer (ABS) was carried out with dicumyl peroxide (DCP) and benzoyl peroxide (BPO) as the binary initiators and with styrene as the comonomer in the molten state. IR spectra confirmed that MAH was successfully grafted onto the ABS backbone. A reaction mechanism was proposed: the grafting most likely took place through the addition of MAH radicals to the double bond of the butadiene region of ABS. Influences such as the MAH concentration, the initiators and their concentrations, the reaction temperature, the rotating speed, and the comonomer concentration were studied. The results indicated that using styrene as a comonomer and DCP/BPO as binary initiators was beneficial for the graft copolymerization. © 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Rate-dependent prolongation of cardiac action potentials by a methanesulfonanilide class III antiarrhythmic agent. Specific block of rapidly activating delayed rectifier K+ current by dofetilide. (1993)

Class III antiarrhythmic agents act by selective prolongation of cardiac action potential duration (APD). Methanesulfonanilide class III agents (e.g., E-4031 and dofetilide) are extremely potent and lengthen action potentials in a reverse rate-dependent manner; i.e., effects are greater at low compared with high rates of stimulation. By using the whole-cell current-clamp technique in isolated guinea pig ventricular myocytes, APD was shortened by rapid pacing (244 +/- 16 msec at 30 pulses per minute, 166 +/- 8 msec at 240 pulses per minute; n = 8). Dofetilide (1 microM) prolonged APD more when cells were stimulated at the rate of 30 pulses per minute (44 +/- 10-msec increase) than at 240 pulses per minute (21 +/- 5-msec increase). We investigated the mechanism of APD prolongation using voltage-clamp techniques. Dofetilide selectively inhibited IKr (IC50, 31.5 nM), defined as the rapidly activating inward rectifying component of net delayed rectifier K+ current (IK), without effects on the larger but more...
FTL design exploration in reconfigurable high-performance SSD for server applications (2009)

Solid-state disks (SSDs) are becoming widely used in personal computers and are expected to replace a great portion of magnetic disks in servers and supercomputers. Although many high-speed SSDs are present in the market, both the design of hardware architecture and the details of the flash translation layer (FTL) are not well known. Meanwhile, in the systems requiring high-end storages, specially tuned SSDs can perform better than the generic ones, because the applications in such environment are usually fixed.
Selection procedure of turbocode parameters by combinatorial optimization (2010)

Permutation design is a crucial point for turbocodes in terms of error correction performance. Many permutation design models have been proposed to deal with this point. However, most of them are defined in terms of several free parameters that have to be correctly chosen. The selection of these parameters generally leads to a systematic search in a wide domain of parameters value. In this article, we focus on the ARP model and describe an algorithm which avoids combinatorial enumeration.
Tropical Pediatrics (1993)

Tropical pediatrics often is more a study of the consequences of poverty than of exotic infections. Pediatricians involved with the care of children in or from the tropics must deal with poverty, place an appropriate emphasis on preventive medicine, and seek to bridge their own cultural and linguistic barriers. Malaria, diarrheal disease, and malnutrition account for a large part of pediatric morbidity and mortality in tropical countries. P falciparum can cause severe malarial disease. Treatment must be initiated promptly; resistance to antimalarial drugs is possible. Hygienic and nutritional prevention of diarrhea must be coupled with widespread use of oral rehydration therapy for acute cases of diarrhea. Identification and early treatment of mildly malnourished children can prevent some of the mortality of overt marasmus and kwashiorkor.
SINEs (2011)

Short interspersed elements (SINEs) are mobile genetic elements that invade the genomes of many eukaryotes. Since their discovery about 30 years ago, many gaps in our understanding of the biology and function of SINEs have been filled. This review summarizes the past and recent advances in the studies of SINEs. The structure and origin of SINEs as well as the processes involved in their amplification, transcription, RNA processing, reverse transcription, and integration of a SINE copy into the genome are considered. Then we focus on the significance of SINEs for the host genomes. While these genomic parasites can be deleterious to the cell, the long-term being in the genome has made SINEs a valuable source of genetic variation providing regulatory elements for gene expression, alternative splice sites, polyadenylation signals, and even functional RNA genes.
Reconstruction algorithms for electrical impedance tomography (1990)

Electrical Impedance Tomography (EIT) is a new imaging technique which produces the conductivity distribution of material within an object from electrical measurement made at the object's boundary. EIT has applications in biomedical and geophysical engineering and various industrial applications are also under investigation.\nThis thesis is a study of reconstruction algorithm of EIT and involves an examination of nonlinear reconstruction algorithms as well as the mathematical derivation of linear reconstruction techniques.\nAn iterative algorithm is derived using linear network theory and finite element modelling of an continuous object. Relationships and equivalences between a number of iterative algorithms are investigated. The algorithm is tested on both networks and continuous objects, using simulated and measured data. A modified algorithm is then developed to reduce the data errors caused by the finite element modelling and the electrode contact impedance. Meaningful results are obtained from the algorithm.\nA linear integral equation reconstruction method is developed from a linearized Poisson's equation. Properties of the integral equation are investigated and a numerical algorithm is derived. The relationship between the integral equation method, Radon's back-projection method [Herman and Natterer, 1981] and Barber-Brown's filtered back-projection method [Barber and Brown, 1986] is studied. Useful reconstructions are obtained from simulated and measured data, and problems associated with the integral equation method are discussed.\nAn error analysis of the linearized Poisson's equation is carried out with an emphasis on the applications to EIT. Three types of error are discussed and re-scaling error is found to be dominant. It is also found that the commonly used small perturbation assumption often fails. Case studies and numerical tests agree with the conclusions of the error study.
Barcoded Plate-Based Single Cell RNA-seq v1 (2018)

This protocol presents a simple modification of the SMART-seq2 (Picelle et al, 2014) and SCRB-seq (Soumillon et al, 2014) protocols, with the goal of combining the sensitivity of SMART-Seq2 with the improved cost and throughput of 3' single cell protocols. Reverse transcription (RT) and PCR proceed as in SMART-Seq2, but using 3' barcoded oligos from SCRB-seq. While most barcoded methods (including SCRB-seq) pool cells together after RT, we perform PCR individually in each well, as this negates the need for an additional exonuclease and purification step, and therefore maintains the same molecular sensitivity as SMART-Seq2. However, we pool amplified cDNA from single wells immediately after PCR, and generate a single tagmentation-based 3' cDNA library. While this protocol therefore has advantages in both sensitivity and throughput, the absence of an exonuclease step prior to PCR disables the use of unique molecular identifiers for quantification.

The circuit construction comprises one DVCC and two CCCIIs, cooperating with a grounded capacitor. The circuit performances are depicted through PSPICE simulations, they show good agreement to theoretical anticipation. Capacitance increasing and an application as a fifth-order Chebyshev high-pass filter are included..
Finite Element Analysis of Push Tests under Elevated Temperatures (2008)

A three-dimensional push test model has been developed herein with a two dimensional temperature distribution analysis procedure based on the finite element method (FEM) and applied to steel-concrete composite beams. The motivation for this paper was to increase the awareness of the structural engineering community to the concepts behind composite steel-concrete structural design for fire exposure. The behaviour of reinforced concrete slabs under fire conditions strongly depends on the interaction of the slabs with the surrounding elements which includes the structural steel beam, steel reinforcing and shear connectors. This study was carried out to consider the effects of elevated temperatures on the behaviour of the composite steel-concrete beams for both solid and profiled steel sheeting slabs. This investigation is to study the load-slip relationship and ultimate load behaviour for push tests with a three dimensional non-linear finite element program ABAQUS. The structures were subjected to the ISO 843 fire standard. Due to elevated temperatures, the material properties change according with temperature. The studies were compared with experimental tests under both ambient and elevated temperatures. Furthermore for the elevated temperatures, the beams were loaded progressively up to the ultimate load to illustrate the capability of a structure to withstand load during fire. It is concluded that the finite element analysis showed that the shear connector strength under fire exposure was very sensitive. It is also shown that profiled steel sheeting slabs have greater fire resistance when compared with that of solid slabs as a function of their ambient temperature strength.
Patient Credentialing as a Population Health Management Strategy: A Diabetes Case Study (2014)

When given the opportunity to become actively involved in the decision-making process, patients can positively impact their health outcomes. Understanding how to empower patients to become informed consumers of health care services is an important strategy for addressing disparities and variability in care. Patient credentialing identifies people who have a certain diagnosis and have achieved certain levels of competency in understanding and managing their disease. Patient credentialing was developed to meet 3 core purposes: (1) enhance patient engagement by increasing personal accountability for health outcomes, (2) create a mass customization strategy for providers to deliver high-quality, patient-centered collaborative care, and (3) provide payers with a foundation for properly aligning health benefit incentives. The Patient Self-Management Credential for Diabetes, a first-of-its-kind, psychometrically validated tool, has been deployed within 3 practice-based research initiatives as a component of innovative diabetes care. Results from these projects show improved clinical outcomes, reduced health care costs, and a relationship between credential achievement levels and clinical markers of diabetes. Implementing patient credentialing as part of collaborative care delivered within various settings across the health care system may be an effective way to reduce disparities, improve access to care and appropriate treatments, incentivize patient engagement in managing their health, and expend time and resources in a customized way to meet individual needs.
The Effect of Autologous Conditioned Plasma on the Treatment of Focal Chondral Defects of the Knee. An Experimental Study (2011)

The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the effect of local application of Autologous Conditioned Plasma (ACP) on the treatment of full-thickness cartilage injuries of the knee. The hypothesis of the study was that ACP can enhance healing response of injured cartilage. A full-thickness chondral lesion on the weight-bearing area of the medial femoral condyle was performed in 30 sheep. Animals were divided into 2 groups, according to postoperative treatment: in group 1, weekly injections of ACP for five times were performed; in group 2, lesions were left untreated. Animals were sacrificed at 3, 6 and 12 months after treatment. A histological evaluation was performed according to a modified O'Driscoll histological score. Comparison between groups for each time interval was performed with the Student's t-test. Significance was set at P<0.05. A post-hoc power analysis was performed according to the hypothesis of the study. Histological evaluation at 3 and 6 months showed that group 1 had significantly greater total score than group 2. At 12 months, no significant difference was observed between groups. In conclusion, local injections of ACP for treatment of full-thickness cartilage injuries did not produce hyaline cartilage. However, it promoted reparative response of the cartilage defect until 6 months after treatment.

Monte carlo determination of hot electron galvanomagnetic effects in gallium arsenide (1971)

A Monte Carlo technique has been used to calculate the transport properties of n-type GaAs at room temperature in crossed electric and magnetic fields. The magnetic and electric field dependence of the distribution function, mobility, electron mean energy, population ratio, average drift velocity, Hall angle, and Hall coefficient has been investigated. It is found that when a Hall field is able to develop (long sample) the influence of the magnetic field is small although a large Hall field appears across the sample. However, when the Hall field is shorted (short sample) a strong pseudo-magnetoresistance is produced which for high enough magnetic fields inhibits the negative differential mobility of GaAs. On a utilisé une méthode de Monte Carlo pour calculer les propriétés de transport de GaAs dans des champs électrique et magnétique croisés. La dépendance de la fonction de distribution, la mobilité, l'énergie et la vitesse moyenne de l'électron, le rapport des populations, l'angle et le coéfficient de Hall, vis-ǎ-vis de l'intensité des champs a été calculée. Quand un champ de Hall peut se développer (dans un échantillon long) on a trouvé que l'influence du champ magnétique est petit, bien qu'un grand champ de Hall soit présent. D'autre part, quand le champ de Hall est court-circuite (dans un échantillon petit), une grande pseudo-magnétorésistance est produite qui, pour les champs magnétiques assez grands, peut réduire la mobilité négative de GaAs.
