Hooper's Alleged Authorship of A Brief and Clear Confession of the Christian Faith (1970)

The question concerning the authorship of A Brief and Clear Confession of the Christian Faith , ascribed to John Hooper, is raised in the only extensive work on Hooper, an unpublished dissertation written at the University of Zurich by W. M. S. West. West covers certain intrinsic difficulties involved in ascribing this work to Hooper and finds that this work
Integrated continuous winemaking process involving sequential alcoholic and malolactic fermentations with immobilized cells (2013)

An integrated winemaking process -including sequential alcoholic and malolactic fermentations operated continuously -was developed. For the continuous alcoholic fermentation, yeast cells (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) were immobilized either on grape stems or on grape skins, while bacterial cells (Oenococcus oeni) used for conducting continuous malolactic fermentation were immobilized on grape skins only. The produced wines were subjected to chemical analysis by HPLC (ethanol, glycerol, sugars and organic acids) and by gas chromatography (major and minor volatile compounds). The final proposed integrated continuous process permitted the production of 960 mL/d of a dry white wine, with an alcoholic strength of about 13 vol%, by using two 1.5 L tower bed reactors packed with 260 g of grape skins. The produced wines revealed a good physicochemical quality. Moreover, 67% of the malic acid concentration could be reduced in the second reactor. Both fermentative processes proved to be much more efficient than those conducted traditionally with free cells or even with immobilized cells, but in the batch mode of operation.
New insights about the evaluation of human sperm quality: the aromatase example. (2010)

Male contribution to the couple's infertility is at first evaluated by the routine examination of semen parameters upon optical microscopy providing valuable information for a rational initial diagnosis and for a clinical management of infertility. But the different forms of infertility defined according to the WHO criteria especially teratozoospermia are not always related to the chromatin structure or to the fertilization capacity. New investigations at the molecular level (transcript and protein) could be developed in order to understand the nature of sperm malformation responsible of human infertility and thus to evaluate the sperm quality. The profile analysis of spermatozoal transcripts could be considered as a fingerprint of the past spermatogenic events. The selection of representative transcripts of normal spermatozoa remains complex because a differential expression (increased, decreased or not modified levels) of specific transcripts has been revealed between immotile and motile sperm fractions issued from normozoospermic donors. Microarrays tests or real-time quantitative PCR could be helpful for the identification of factors involved in the male infertility. Differences in the expression of specific transcripts have been reported between normal and abnormal semen samples. With the aromatase example, we have noted a negative strong correlation between the amount of transcript and the percentage of abnormal forms especially in presence of head defects. Immunocytochemical procedures using fluorescent probes associated with either confocal microscopy or flow cytometry can be also helpful to proceed with further investigations about the localization of proteins in the compartmentalized spermatozoa or the acrosome reaction. The dual location of aromatase both in the equatorial segment, the mid-piece and the tail could explain the double role of this enzyme in acrosome reaction and motility.

Immunosuppression Can Arrest Progressive Renal Failure Due to Idiopathic Membranous Glomerulonephritis (1989)

The effect of pulse intravenous methylprednisolone therapy followed by oral immunosuppression was evaluated in ten patients with idiopathic membranous glomerulonephritis who had developed progressive renal failure--a group generally considered to have a poor prognosis. The patients (six male, four female, mean age 50 years) were monitored over 9-30 months during which time creatinine clearance reduced from (mean +/- SEM) 83 +/- 10 to 29 +/- 6 ml/min, and plasma creatinine increased from 135 +/- 22 to 297 +/- 35 mumol/l. All patient were nephrotic with mean 24-h urinary protein excretion ranging from 5.8 to 19.6 g. Treatment administered was pulse intravenous methyl-prednisolone 1 g X 3 then oral prednisolone 30 mg and azathioprine 50 mg (nine patients) or cyclophosphamide 50 mg (one patient). Mean prednisolone dosage was 25 mg at 3 months, 16 mg at 6, and 10 mg at 12 months. Patients have been followed up for between 12 and 57 months on therapy. Creatinine clearance increased to 39 +/- 6, 47 +/- 5 and 48 +/- 18 ml/min after 3, 6 and 12 months treatment with a fall in proteinuria to 6.2 +/- 1.7, 5.7 +/- 1.4, and 3.1 +/- 1.1 g/24h. The deterioration of renal function was reversed in six patients (associated with a reduction in proteinuria to less than 1 g/24 hours in five), slowed in three (with a significant reduction in proteinuria in two), and only one patient with more advanced renal failure before treatment progressed to end-stage failure without any retardation of the rate of deterioration or change in proteinuria.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
Design and manufacture of a microwave low-noise transistor having beam-leads (1977)

The design and fabrication technology of a bipolar microwave low-noise transistor with a beam-lead structure is described. The process which we present here has the following advantages: it is simple, it results in a satisfactory device reliability (Ti-Pt-Au metallizations and final passivation by a Si <inf xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">3</inf> N <inf xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">4</inf> layer), and it can be applied to the finest geometrical structures produced at the present time. The comparison between the results obtained for transistors in the beam-lead configuration and those obtained for packaged transistors clearly shows that microwave transistors can be fabricated with beam-leads with no degradation of the high-frequency performance. For a beam-lead interdigitated structure having four emitters 1.5 µm in width, the performance at 2 GHz was typically: <tex xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">G_{pmax} = 11.2</tex> dB <tex xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">N.F._{min} = 3.30</tex> dB <tex xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">G_{p}(N.F._{min}) = 9.2</tex> dB.
Re‐investigation of the effect of adrenaline and noradrenaline on renal function <i>in situ</i> (1972)

1. Adrenaline or noradrenaline in single doses (0.01-0.10 mug/kg) or by continuous infusion (0.3-3.0 mug.kg(-1) min(-1)) into anaesthetized dogs has been administered by different routes. The changes in femoral arterial B.P., hepatic portal venous pressure, renal venous pressure, intrarenal venous pressure, kidney volume, renal plasma flow (RPF), glomerular filtration rate, urine flow and plasma protein concentration have been followed. The effects varied with route of administration, with dose and time.2. Direct injection of single doses of these drugs (</= 0.02 mug/kg) into the renal artery reduced RPF and urine flow without affecting the systemic B.P. or hepatic portal venous pressure.3. When the catecholamines were administered in single small doses (</= 0.02 mug/kg), I.M. or S.C. or via the hepatic or common carotid arteries, only a slight effect on systemic B.P. was observed. There was little effect on hepatic portal venous pressure, and no diuresis was observed.4. Single injection of these drugs (</= 0.02 mug/kg) into the mesenteric artery caused an immediate fall of hepatic portal venous pressure without a direct effect on the kidney. A subsequent rise in hepatic portal venous pressure was associated with an increase in urine flow.5. Administration of these drugs (0.01-0.10 mug/kg) into the femoral vein, inferior vena cava or internal jugular vein caused a great rise in systemic B.P., a decrease in hepatic portal venous pressure and an antidiuresis, but this was usually followed by a rise of hepatic portal venous pressure and by an associated diuresis, as systemic B.P. returned to normal values.6. The total and segmental renal vascular resistance were calculated from parameters measured during ureteral occlusion. The primary effect of the catecholamines was to increase the resistance in all renal vascular segments and produce antidiuresis; subsequently a drastic drop of all segmental resistances occurred and this was accompanied by a diuresis.7. After block of the alpha-adrenergic receptors by dibenzyline or ergotamine, manipulations which increased the hepatic portal venous pressure could still evoke an immediate reflex diuresis.8. Since the primary renal effect of catecholamines is a vasoconstriction and antidiuresis, it seems that the subsequent reduction of the renal vascular resistance and the associated diuresis is caused by some other mechanism.9. It is concluded that the complex effects of catecholamine on renal function represent the resultant of direct intrarenal together with indirect extrarenal actions and that the relative significance of these various actions depends on dose, time and the route of administration.
Arc motion and gas flow in current limiting circuit breakers operating with a low contact switching velocity (2002)

Arc motion in low voltage (240 VAC) high current (10/sup 3/-10/sup 4/A.) current limiting-circuit breakers is dominated by arc root mobility. The mobility is influenced by the gas flow and gas composition in the contact region, but there is little experimental data on these effects. New pressure and spectral data measurement during arc movement are presented using a flexible test apparatus and an arc imaging system. These measurements are used to investigate gas flow characteristics in the arc chamber. The chemical and physical phenomena occurring during the arc motion are discussed. The combination of optical and spectral data provides new insight into the arc motion. The influences of arc chamber material, contact material, and contact opening speed, are investigated to improve arc control for a low contact opening velocity.
Social Media and Its Implications in Pediatric Dentistry. (2018)

Social media is increasingly being relied upon by health care professionals, including pediatric dentists, to make decisions in their practices. While social media serves as an excellent resource, there is lack of sound guidelines on its use by health professionals in dentistry. Pediatric dentists using social media for professional purposes need to be aware of the uses as well as the challenges it presents. More importantly, members and moderators of social media groups should ensure that all patient care-related information is de-identified and discussions are compliant with federal and state privacy laws and based on evidence-based recommendations.
Implementation of an intelligent instrument for passive recognition and two-dimensional location estimation of acoustic targets (2003)

The development of an intelligent instrument for real-time recognition and location of sound broadband sources is addressed. The performance of this instrument was evaluated in an anechoic chamber. The necessary software and hardware implementation is explained. Very fast hardware is used to achieve real-time processing. The timing is the critical parameter of the system performance. Some advanced software techniques are used for the detection, recognition and position estimation of the source target. The method of cross correlation with a suitable interpolation function is examined for the estimation of the source position. Some experimental results are cited which provide a more quantitative study of the system performance for recognition and position estimation of a source. >
GENETICS OF MEIOTIC PROPHASE I IN PLANTS (2006)

During meiotic prophase I, traits are reassorted as a result of a highly organized process involving sister chromatid cohesion, homologous chromosome alignment, pairing, synapsis, and recombination. In the past two years, a number of components involved in this pathway, including Structure Maintenance of Chromosomes (SMC), MRE11, the RAD51 homologs, BRCA2, MSH4, MER3, and ZIP1, have been characterized in plants; in addition, several genes that encode components unique to plants, such as POOR HOMOLOGOUS SYNAPSIS 1 and AMEIOTIC 1, have been cloned. Based on these recent data, essentially from maize and Arabidopsis, we discuss the conserved and plant-specific aspects of meiosis commitment and meiotic prophase I features.
Functionalization of Polymer Sensor Surfaces by Oxygen Plasma Treatment (2009)

Methods for the functionalization of polymer biosensor surfaces are applied for the binding of receptors and the sensing of biological particles. In many cases the same biosensor polymer has to perform transduction mechanisms as in the case of optical waveguides. The effects of the functionalization process on the sensor transduction properties like absorption and surface roughness loss should be minimal. In this work we investigate the formation of functional groups by oxygen plasma treatment as a method of precise surface modification for PMMA and SU-8 waveguide materials. Oxygen groups were analyzed by contact angle measurements, XPS, chemical derivatization XPS and fluorescence labeling.

Surface-bulk core-level splitting in graphite (2001)

Photoemission from highly oriented pyrolytic graphite reveals two C $1s$ components separated in binding energy by 120 meV. The high binding-energy component is ascribed to atoms in the outermost atomic layer and the other to deeper layers. The interpretation is based on the low relative intensity observed for the low binding-energy line at photon energies chosen such that excitation beneath the surface layer is suppressed by a bulk band gap at the energy of the final state. The surface emission line, which dominates, is slightly asymmetric and has a Lorentzian width of 160 meV (full width at half maximum).
The first vitellogenin receptor from a Lepidopteran insect: molecular characterization, expression patterns and RNA interference analysis (2010)

The vitellogenin receptor (VgR) belongs to the low-density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR) superfamily, and is an important carrier for the uptake of vitellogenin (Vg) into developing oocytes of all oviparous species. The first full-length message for a VgR from a Lepidopteran insect was cloned and sequenced from the ovary of Spodoptera litura Fabricius (GenBank accession no. GU983858). The coding region consisted of 5370 bp flanked by a 49 bp 5'-untranslated region (UTR) and a 177 bp 3'-UTR, which encoded a 1798-residue protein with a predicted molecular weight (MW) of 201.69 kDa. S. litura VgR (SlVgR)comprised two ligand binding sites with four LDLR class A repeats in the first domain and seven in the second domain, an epidermal growth factor-like domain containing an LDLR class B repeat and a YWXD motif, a transmembrane domain and a cytoplasmic domain. A phylogenetic relationship placed SlVgR as a separate group from the other insects. SlVgR messenger RNA (mRNA) was specifically expressed in the ovarian tissues. The developmental expression patterns showed that VgR mRNA was first transcribed in 6(th) day female pupae and the maximum level of VgR mRNA appeared in 36-h-old adults. Immunoblot analysis detected an ovary-specific VgR protein with a MW of ∼200 kDa, whose development profiles were consistent with VgR mRNA expression patterns. RNA inteference (RNAi) specifically disrupted the VgR gene by injection of 3 or 5 µg VgR double-stranded RNA per insect in 4(th) or 6(th) day pupae. RNAi of SlVgR led to a phenotype characterized by high Vg accumulation in the haemolymph, low Vg deposition in the ovary and the failure of insect spawning. These results mean that VgR is critical for binding Vg and transporting it into the oocytes of the insect ovary, thus playing an important role in insect reproduction.
Low-loss polypropylene for electrical purposes (1967)

The results of dielectric-loss measurements on groups of experimental and plant-scale polypropylene samples have been used to select materials which have low losses over a wide frequency range at room temperature, and in which conduction, which shows up as a runaway loss increase with increasing temperature at power frequencies, has been reduced to a low level. Data on a propylene-ethylene copolymer with similar properties are also presented. Comparisons with results for low-loss polythene and polytetrafluoroethylene indicate that polypropylene has the lowest losses of the group in the microwave region.The electrical applications of these low-loss materials are dicussed.
Cystine loading induces Fanconi's syndrome in rats: in vivo and vesicle studies (1993)

To better understand the link between lysosomal cystine accumulation and the renal impairment seen in cystinosis, we have studied the effect of cystine loading in vivo, on renal function of rats, and in brush-border membrane vesicles (BBMV) prepared from the kidney cortex of the treated rats. Intraperitoneal injection of cystine dimethyl ester (CDME) (400 mumol, twice a day, for 5 days) led to an increased urine volume and excretion of glucose, phosphate, and protein. Kinetic analysis of alpha-methylglucoside initial flux in BBMV showed reduction in maximal transport capacity (Vmax, from 10.1 +/- 1.3 to 8.5 +/- 0.7 nmol.min-1.mg protein-1; P < 0.01) with no change in Michaelis constant (Km, 4.80 +/- 0.08 and 4.90 +/- 0.05 mM). The number of phlorizin binding sites declined (from 6.5 +/- 0.7 to 4.1 +/- 0.4 pmol/mg protein; P < 0.01) with no significant change in the affinity for phlorizin (0.64 +/- 0.08 and 0.59 +/- 0.06 microM). In the cortex homogenate, cystine concentration, which was undetectable in controls, increased to 0.97 +/- 0.09 nmol 1/2 cystine/mg protein. Two hours after CDME administration, ATP content declined to approximately 50% of control values. This decline was transient, and ATP content was recovered to control values 5 h after CDME administration. The treatment did not affect ouabain-sensitive adenosinetriphosphatase activity (40.0 +/- 3.9 and 38.6 +/- 4.7 nmol Pi.mg protein-1.min-1) or the number and affinity of ouabain binding sites (Bmax = 1.48 +/- 0.25 and 1.44 +/- 0.18 pmol/mg, and Kd = 0.68 +/- 0.09 and 0.72 +/- 0.12 microM, respectively).

Behavior of iodine, methyl iodide, cesium oxide, and cesium iodide in steam and argon (1976)

An experimental program has been initiated with the overall goal of providing a definitive understanding of fission product behavior under conditions applicable to light water reactor accidents in which the fuel rods reach a maximum temperature in the range 500 to 1300/sup 0/C. In order to test the apparatus and techniques of analysis, a series of ten experiments was performed in which selected fission product-type compounds were exposed to high-temperature steam and argon atmospheres. The species investigated were I/sub 2/, CH/sub 3/I, Cs/sub 2/O, and CsI, mainly in a steam atmosphere over the temperature range 500 to 950/sup 0/C. Iodine remained stable at 800/sup 0/C in steam and argon, but CH/sub 3/I decomposed; decomposition rate constants were calculated. Cesium monoxide reacted rapidly with steam to form CsOH (probably the monohydrate) which, in turn, reacted with the quartz furnace tube. Cesium iodide in steam at 700/sup 0/C decomposed partially by reaction with quartz. Although most of the CsI and the unreacted CsOH was collected in the thermal gradient tube, a small fraction of both these compounds was deposited in the form of particles in the cascade impactor and on the filters.
