E-Primer: A Tutorial on E-Prime (1993)

Paul Dennithorne Johnston. E-Primer: A Tutorial on E-Prime. (MS-DOS version) Distributed by The International Society for General Semantics, Concord, CA. 1992. In his program E-Primer Paul Dennithorne Johnston has created an engaging way for students acquaint themselves with the E-Prime approach writing. E-Prime removes the verb to be from language in hopes of making E-Prime speakers and writers more aware of the assumptions about reality built into normal human communications. The E-Primer program provides many examples of E-Prime versions of language sentences. It also offers ample opportunity for students practice writing their own sentences in E-Prime, and gives some limited feedback. The program emphasizes the use of E-Prime, spending relatively little time with its history or justification. I applaud this use of resources. Johnston apparently realizes that students tend not learn much from computer screens full of abstract text and leaves detailed explanations of general semantics and E-Prime the classroom teacher. He has set a more modest goal for his program, and I feel he has achieved that goal -- give students an experiential introduction writing in E-Prime. E-Primer begins with the assumption that users have never heard of E-Prime. First they read a few simple sentences, presented in both Ordinary English and E-Prime versions. Then users try translate a sentence into E-Prime, with Hint: Do not use the word IS. After an attempt, the program's version of the sentence appears for comparison. The program doesn't give the user feedback at this point, nor does it present a general rule for writing in E-Prime until completion of all examples. The program then presents the rule and a brief rationale in a simple form: * Notice how E-Prime avoids verbs of the TO BE family * E-Prime helps you avoid dull writing because you can't use passive verbs * E-Prime also helps you avoid fixed ideas Then the program presents all of the student's sentences set against Johnston's E-Prime versions. Again, Johnston expects students assess their own sentences at this point -- the program doesn't highlight TO BE usages yet. Following sections present many more examples, using humor engage students so that they don't rush through the program without reading the screens. I found that the section labeled Murder Mystery helped me the most. Here the student gets the opportunity write in E-Prime with immediate feedback. …
Comparison of nasopharyngeal nylon flocked swabs with universal transport medium and rayon-bud swabs with a sponge reservoir of viral transport medium in the diagnosis of paediatric influenza (2009)

This study compared a kit containing a nasopharyngeal nylon flocked swab and a tube with a liquid universal transport medium (UTM) with a kit containing a plastic-shafted rayon-budded swab with a sponge reservoir of viral transport medium for the molecular detection of influenza viruses in children. Respiratory samples were collected from 314 children aged <5 years with influenza-like illness (186 males; mean age 2.32+/-2.27 years) using both swabs in a randomized sequence for each patient. The flocked swabs permitted the detection of 28 influenza A (8.9 %) and 45 influenza B (14.3 %) cases, and the rayon-bud swabs 26 influenza A (8.3 %) and 43 influenza B (13.7 %) cases, with detection rates of 23.2 and 22.0 %, respectively, and similar cycle threshold values. Paediatricians and laboratory staff were significantly more satisfied with both the simplicity (P <0.0001) and rapidity (P <0.0001) of the nasopharyngeal flocked swabs with UTM. These findings show that the flocked swabs with UTM and the rayon-bud swabs with a sponge transport medium are similarly efficient in preserving influenza virus nucleic acid, but that the kit containing a flocked swab with a UTM allows easier and more rapid collection and processing of specimens.
Biocybernetics of the Central Nervous System. (1969)

This book contains the proceedings of an international symposium held in Washington, DC, which was planned as a sequel to the 1957 symposium on the Reticular Formation of the Brain. In the present symposium, unlike the preceding one, great emphasis is placed on the utilization of mathematical and engineering concepts in neurophysiological investigations. Accordingly, many of the participants discuss in depth the use of data processing programs, computer technology, and mathematical models in the analysis of a variety of topics of neurological interest, including nervous system receptor organ functions, central nervous system (CNS) cellular activities, speech, and certain aspects of behavior. Among the many interesting papers, one by L. R. Young provides a mathematical description and a physical model of the peripheral apparatus of the vestibular system. W. R. Adey summarizes his investigations of the past few days which indicate a correlation between impedance changes in various parts of the
Autonomic neuropathies (2002)

Ganglionic antibody likely mediates autoimmune autonomic neuropathy. Sympathetic cardiac hyperinnervation can occur and could potentially cause arrhythmia and sudden death. Knowledge of gene mutations of hereditary sensory and autonomic neuropathies I, III and IV could lead to more secure diagnosis of the disorders. Effective treatment of essential hyperhidrosis with botulinum toxin injection has been demonstrated. It might be possible to improve treatment of orthostatic hypotension acutely with water imbibation and chronically with erythropoieting.
Structure and Stability of Chloroform-Included Cotton Cellulose1 (1974)

Conditions under which chloroform and carbon tetrachloride can be trapped as inclusions within the fibers of cotton cellulose were studied. As much as 20% chloroform by weight was included in cotton swollen in liquid ammonia. X-ray studies indicated that the cellulose lattice was disrupted by the included chloroform so that it appeared amorphous. Washing with toluene did not affect the inclusion complex. Although the complex was stable if stored in a closed con tainer, it very slowly decomposed with loss of chloroform upon exposure to the air. Thermal analyses indicated that the complex was stable up to 200°C but that it broke down with loss of chloroform between 200 and 300°C. The energy of activation for this dissociation was 35 kcal/mole.
Analysis of third-generation HF ALE technologies (2002)

Third-generation HF automatic link establishment (ALE) achieves order-of-magnitude improvements over second-generation ALE in linking speed, network size, and traffic capacity. We examine the individual contributions to this performance by several of the techniques standardized in the third generation, including synchronous operation, dwell groups, and separate calling and traffic frequencies.
The characteristics and design of the conical log-spiral antenna (1965)

The balanced conical logarithmic-spiral antenna is considered as a slow-wave locally periodic structure with a slowly varying period. A study of the near fields and their relationship to the far fields has led to the identification of the active region or effective radiating aperture on the antenna and to a clearer understanding of its operating characteristics. Information of the near- and far-field characteristics and on the input impedance for a wide range of parameters is presented in a form suitable for use in the design of practical antennas.

An All‐Digital Receiver for Satellite Audio Broadcasting Signals Using Trellis Coded Quasi‐Orthogonal Code‐Division Multiplexing (1993)

Abstract Spread Spectrum Code Division Multiplex is an attractive scheme for the transmission of multiple signals over a satellite transponder. By using orthogonal or quasi‐orthogonal spreading codes the interference between the users can be virtually eliminated. However, the acquisition and tracking of the spreading code phase can not take advantage of the code orthogonality since sequential acquisition and Delay‐Locked loop tracking depend on correlation with code phases other than the optimal despreading phase. Hence, synchronization is a critical issue in such a system. A demonstration hardware for the verification of the orthogonal CDM synchronization and data transmission concept is being designed and implemented. The system concept, the synchronization scheme, and the implementation are described. The performance of the system is discussed based on computer simulations.

RESPONSE OF THE PLANARIAN, DUGESIA, TO VERY WEAK HORIZONTAL ELECTROSTATIC FIELDS (1962)

1. The planarian Dugesia is able, even while in water, to perceive a change of 2 volts/cm. in electrostatic gradient in the surrounding air. 2. There is reason to presume that in order to show this response the organism is responding to differences in ambient static gradient of the order of fractions of a microvolt per cm. 3. The strength and character of worm response to a right-angle potential change are related to the direction the worm is oriented in the earth's geographic field, and to time of day. 4. A field-change in South-bound worms in the morning effects clockwise turning. A similar field-change for North-bound worms effects counterclockwise turning. In the afternoon the relationship of electrostatic response to geographic direction is essentially the mirror-image of that of the morning. 5. Dugesia is able to distinguish the direction of a gradient across its body. 6. A few of the possible significances of these findings are discussed briefly.
Calcium Phosphate Cements Prepared by Acid–Base Reaction (1992)

We investigated the characteristics of calcium phosphate cements (CPC) prepared by an exothermic acid–base reaction between NH 4 H 2 PO 4 ‐based fertilizer (Poly‐N) and calcium aluminate compounds (CAC), such as 3CaO · Al 2 O 3 (C 3 A), CaO · Al 2 O 3 (CA), and CaO · 2Al 2 O 3 (CA 2 ), in a series of integrated studies of reaction kinetics, interfacial reactions, in‐situ phase transformations, and microstructure development. Two groups were compared: untreated and hydrothermally treated CPC specimens. The extent of reactivity of CAC with Poly‐N at 25°C was in the following order: CA > C 3 A ≫ CA 2 . The formation of a NH 4 CaPO 4 · x H 2 O salt during this reaction was responsible for the development of strength in the CPC specimens. The in‐situ phase transformation of amorphous NH 4 CaPO 4 · x H 2 O into crystalline Ca 5 (PO 4 ) 3 (OH) and the conversion of hydrous Al 2 O 3 gel →γ‐AIOOH occur in cement bodies during exposure in an autoclave to temperatures up to 300°C. This phase transformation significantly improved mechanical strength.
High quality machine‐robust image features: Identification in nonsmall cell lung cancer computed tomography images (2013)

Image feature reproducibility and redundancy depended on both the CT machine and the CT image type. For each image type, the authors found a set of cross-machine reproducible, nonredundant, and informative image features that would be useful for future image-based models. Compared to end-exhale 4D-CT and breath-hold 3D-CT, average 4D-CT derived image features showed superior multimachine reproducibility and are the best candidates for clinical correlation.

A cyclic CMOS time-to-digital converter with deep sub-nanosecond resolution (2003)

A novel cyclic time-to-digital converter (TDC) is proposed in this paper. The measured resolution (or LSB width equivalent) can reach 68 picoseconds, and the corresponding single-shot errors are around 1/2 LSB width. Under a single 3.3 V power supply, the stand-by current consumption is measured to be 0.3 mA only, including the I/O pads. The operation current consumption is measured to be 370 uA under 100 k/sec measurement rate.
Towards a Multilingual National Literature: The Tung Wah Times and the origins of Chinese Australian Writing (2015)

A large and important body of Australian writing has until now remained excluded from histories and anthologies: literature in languages other than English. A new research project entitled 'New transnationalisms: Australia's multilingual literary heritage' traces the history of Australian writing in Chinese Vietnamese, Arabic and Spanish. The case study in this article presents a survey of the earliest Chinese language literary publications in the Sydney newspaper the Tung Wah Times (1898-1936): historical contexts, themes and genres, cultural function within the Chinese Australian community.
Systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) (2013)

The concept of a systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) to describe the complex pathophysiologic response to an insult such as infection, trauma, burns, pancreatitis, or a variety of other injuries came from a 1991 consensus conference charged with the task of developing an easy-to-apply set of clinical parameters to aid in the early identification of potential candidates to enter into clinical trials to evaluate new treatments for sepsis. There was recognition that a diverse group of injuries produced a common inflammatory response in the host and provided attractive targets for new anti-inflammatory molecules designed to prevent further propagation and/or provide specific treatment. Effective application of these new anti-inflammatory strategies necessitated identification of early clinical markers that could be assessed in real-time and were likely to define a population of patients that would have a beneficial response to the targeted intervention. It was felt that early clinical manifestations might be more readily available to clinicians than more sophisticated and specific assays for inflammatory substances that were systemically released by the network of injurious inflammatory events. Therefore, the early definition of a systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) was built upon a foundation of basic clinical and laboratory abnormalities that were readily available in almost all clinical settings. With further refinement, it was hoped, that this definition would have a high degree of sensitivity, coupled with a reasonable degree of specificity. This manuscript reviews the derivation, application, utilization, potential benefits, and speculation regarding the future of the SIRS definition.
Analysis of a Microcircuit Failure using SQUID and MR Current Imaging (2005)

Abstract SQUID and MR magnetic sensors have separately been used for fault isolation of shorts and resistive opens in integrated circuits and packages. These two technologies were once considered to be mutually exclusive, although recent studies [1] rather pointed to their complementary character. This paper shows, for the first time, the use of these two sensors together to isolate a low resistance short in a Quad-NAND gate microcircuit. Electrical test confirmed low resistance shorts between three of the device pins. However, internal optical inspection found no evidence of failure. The low resistance of the shorts was deemed insufficient for liquid crystal analysis. Magnetic current imaging with a SQUID sensor confirmed current flow through the package lead frame and isolated the defect to the microcircuit. Due to package design and the resulting distance of the scan plane, the SQUID was unable to resolve the current path on the microcircuit. In parallel with the SQUID, a magnetoresistive (MR) probe was employed to fit inside the device cavity, make direct contact with the microcircuit, and map high-resolution current images. Two sites with high-current density were accurately identified by MCI in input transistors. Subsequent deprocessing revealed that the defects were located under a broad sheet of aluminum metallization which blocked optical detection, and rendered detection by thermal emission difficult.
Yellow (5735 Å) emission GaInP multiple quantum well lasers grown by gas source molecular-beam epitaxy (1995)

We report current injected stimulated emission in AlGaInP/Ga0.65In0.35P heterostructures grown on commercially available GaAs0.6P0.4 substrates by gas source molecular-beam epitaxy. Room temperature photoluminescence of bulk GaInP grown on these substrates exhibited a full-width half-maximum of 36 meV, which is equal to the narrowest reported. At 77 K laser devices exhibited yellow stimulated emission near 5735 Å with a current density of 900A/cm2.
Migration of the Tibial Component in Successful Unicompartmental Knee Arthroplasty: A Clinical, Radiographic and Roentgen Stereophotogrammetric Study (1983)

Migration of the tibial component in unicompartmental Marmor knee arthroplasty was measured by conventional radiography and roentgen stereophotogrammetry during a 2-year follow-up of six patients operated on for femoro-tibial arthrosis. The clinical course was satisfactory for all six patients. A radiolucent zone developed in all cases, the width of which was greater than 2 mm in one case. By radiography movements of two of the six prosthetic components could be detected. Roentgen stereophotogrammetry showed significant rotational and translatory movements in all six tibial components. In four cases these movements were small not exceeding 1 mm for translation and 1.5 degrees for rotation. The remaining two components showed larger migrations with maximum values of 2.7 mm for translation and 12.6 degrees for rotation. Five of the components tilted backwards about the transverse axis, four tilted away from the centre of the knee about the sagittal axis, and four rotated with the anterior part away from the centre of the knee about the vertical axis. The small movements of the four tibial components may be due to a semi-rigid fixation by connective tissue in the bone-cement interface. Since all knees were asymptomatic, neither the zones nor the minor movements seemed to have any clinical significance within the follow-up period.
Arrhenius parameters for the alkaline hydrolysis of esters in aqueous solution. Part II. Acetylcholine (1968)

The kinetics of the alkaline hydrolysis of acetylcholine have been studied using a pH-drop method at 25, 35·5, and 50°, and using a conventional titration technique at 0°. At 25, 35·5, and 50° the hydrolysis was studied over a range of ionic strength. The rate constants and energy and entropy of activation all show the expected dependence on ionic strengths. The effect of charge on rate is discussed with reference to the rate constant and the Arrhenius parameters. From a detailed comparison with the enzymic hydrolysis by acetylcholine esterase, in terms of the available data for the various steps in the reaction sequence postulated for the enzymic reaction, certain trends are noted.
Partial Pressures over HgTe ‐ CdTe Solid Solutions: II . Results for (1981)

The partial pressures of Hg, Cd, and are obtained along the three‐phase curves for , solid solutions by measuring the optical absorbance of the coexisting vapor between 220 and 700 nm. The pressure ranges covered are 10−2–32 atm for Hg, 10−8–10−5atm for Cd, and 10−5–10−2 atm for , and Hg is always the predominant vapor species. The data allow the calculation of the chemical potentials of and and the Gibbs free enthalpy of formation for the solid solutions. In addition, the solidus temperatures are obtained directly from the optical absorbance measurements.
The Use of Alcohol in Gas Well Stimulation (1966)

ABSTRACT Alcohol when added to stimulation fluids will reduce or eliminate waterblocking following these treatments. Although waterblocking can occur in clean, well consolidated sandstone, it is more likely to occur with other forms of damage such as particle blocks or rock wettability changes. Waterblocking is most severe in heterogeneous formations particularly where high permeability variations are in series such as in crossbedded sediments. Alcohol has been successfully used in waterblock removal, matrix acidizing, and hydraulic fracturing. Properties of alcoholic fluids and detection of heterogeneity are discussed. Guidelines for selecting the best alcoholic treatment are presented. INTRODUCTION Aqueous stimulation fluids containing alcohol have proven to be highly successful in stimulating gas production from problem wells in sandstone formations. The primary advantage of alcohol is to obtain better and more rapid clean up. It is most useful in gas producing formations, particularly those with a high clay content. Many stimulation treatments in sandstone which would otherwise be quite successful are spoiled by a very slow water clean-up. This clean-up problem is often a result of water block in the critical matrix surrounding the wellbore. In a gas well, about one-half the total pressure drop in the formation takes place within 15 ft surrounding the wellbore. The addition of alcohol to the aqueous fluid can often prevent this water blocking problem.
A comparison of the inhibitory action of 5-(substituted-benzyl)-2,4-diaminopyrimidines on dihydrofolate reductase from chicken liver with that from bovine liver (1982)

Forty-four 5-(substituted-benzyl)-2,4-diaminopyrimidines have been tested as inhibitors of chicken and bovine liver dihydrofolate reductase. The chicken enzyme is, on the average, about 10 times less easily inhibited than bovine enzyme. Substituents which show the greatest selectivity are 4-NHCOCH3, 3-OC4H9, 3-I, 3-CF3-4-OCH3, and 3,4,5-(OCH3)3. The inhibition constants have been used to formulate quantitative structure-activity relationships for comparative purposes.
Development of High Power Density Metal‐Supported Solid Oxide Fuel Cells (2017)

Abstract Symmetric‐structure metal‐supported solid oxide fuel cells (MS‐SOFCs) are fabricated by infiltrating catalysts on both anode and cathode side. Various aspects of the infiltration process are optimized. Performance is found to be sensitive to precursor dilution, catalyst loading, and catalyst calcining temperature. For an optimized cell with lanthanum strontium manganite (LSM) as cathode and Sm 0.2 Ce 0.8 O 2− δ mixed with Ni (SDCN) as anode, peak power densities of 0.44, 1.1, and 1.9 W cm −2 are achieved at 600, 700, and 800 °C, respectively. A fully symmetric MS‐SOFC with SDCN as both the anode and cathode sides achieves moderate peak power densities of 0.12, 0.37, and 0.76 W cm −2 at 600, 700, and 800 °C, respectively. A solvent‐based infiltration technique is also explored and found to be more effective than capillary forces alone but not as effective as vacuum infiltration.
Chemically enhanced opening switch for generating high-voltage pulses (1977)

A new approach to the problem of developing an opening switch is described. The switch (fuse) consists of an aluminum foil immersed in water. Heat transfer processes and chemical reactions between the Al and water determine switch performance. Six kilojoules of electrical energy were handled by the switch, and voltages of up to 100 kV were generated across the switch electrodes.
