Distributed remote LAN administration tool for Windows NT and 2000-based LANs: preliminary work (2002)

In recent years, a large number of businesses and universities have installed local area networks (LAN) based on the Windows NT domain model as their primary computing environment. The system administrators of these new computing environments are finding that the simple remote administration capabilities available in UNIX based LAN are not available. The Windows NT operating system, out of the box, does not provide a simple solution to perform remote administration. The remote administration can be achieved, if an administrator has the expertise in writing Windows scripts using the Windows Resource Kit or writing commands in the Perl language. The majority of current system administrators do not have time to acquire such knowledge. In this paper, we present the preliminary work done in developing a distributed remote LAN administration tool for Windows NT and 2000 based LAN developed for the system administrators at the University of Wyoming. The distributed remote administration tool is being developed with an object-oriented architecture and a graphical user interface.
1×8 InP Optical Phased-Array Switch with Integrated Inline Power Monitors (2011)

Monolithic InP 1×8 optical switch with inline power monitor array is demonstrated. On-chip optimization of the switch is achieved using the feedback signal from power monitors, paving the way to construct integrated NxN switch matrix.
A Fluid Limit for an Overloaded X Model Via an Averaging Principle (2010)

We prove a many-server heavy-traffic fluid limit for an overloaded Markovian queueing system having two customer classes and two service pools, known in the call-center literature as the X model. The system uses the fixed-queueratio-with-thresholds (FQR-T) control, which we proposed in a recent paper as a way for one service system to help another in face of an unexpected overload. Under FQR-T, customers are served by their own service pool until a threshold is exceeded. Then, one-way sharing is activated with customers from one class allowed to be served in both pools. After the control is activated, it aims to keep the two queues at a pre-specified fixed ratio. For large systems that fixed ratio is achieved approximately. For the fluid limit, or FWLLN, we consider a sequence of properly scaled X models in overload operating under FQR-T. Our proof of the FWLLN follows the compactness approach, i.e., we show that the sequence of scaled processes is tight, and then show that all converging subsequences have the specified limit. The characterization step is complicated because the queue-difference processes, which determine the customer-server assignments, need to be considered without spatial scaling. Asymptotically, these queue-difference processes operate in a faster time scale than the fluid-scaled processes. In the limit, due to a separation of time scales, the driving processes converge to a time-dependent steady state (or local average) of a time-varying fast-time-scale process (FTSP). This averaging principle allows us to replace the driving processes with the long-run average behavior of the FTSP.
[Presence of urinary Sm28GST antigen in Madagascar patients with Schistosomiasis mansoni]. (1996)

Using an ELISA method, we quantitated the level of glutathion S-transferase 28 kDa (Sm28GST), specific of Schistosoma mansoni, in the urine of 13 malagasy patients. The presence of Sm28GST antigen has been demonstrated for the first time, in 8 patients (69%). No significant correlation could be found between antigen level and the parasitological burden in the feces. The use of an immunocapture ELISA technic on a larger number of samples will be necessary to assess if this test could be quantitative and reliable enough for the diagnosis or the follow up of patients infected with Schistosoma mansoni.

316 Tomographic Measurements of Skin Tissue Model Using Low-Coherence Interferometry (2001)

Low-coherence interferometry was applied to tomographic measurements of a skin tissue model which consists of layers with Intralipid solution and horse blood. The tomographic structure in the model can be measured with spatial resolution of 〜10-20μm, which is determined by the temporal coherence of a laser source. Quality of measurements, especially in a deeper region, is influenced by the turbidity of Intralipid solution.

Serum Gamma-Glutamyltransferase Levels are Associated With Concomitant Cardiovascular Risk Factors in Korean Hypertensive Patients (2015)

Previous studies suggested that serum gamma-glutamyltransferase (GGT) levels were associated with the prevalence of cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors including hypertension, diabetes mellitus (DM), and metabolic syndrome (MetS) in the general population. We aimed to investigate the relationship between serum GGT levels and CVD risk factors in Korean hypertensive patients. This cross-sectional study was based on data from the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES) 2011 to 2012. The analysis included 1541 hypertensive participants. Study participants were divided into groups according to tertiles of serum GGT with cutoff points of 20 and 35 U/L. Serum GGT levels were positively associated with the components of MetS (P value < 0.05, except for systolic blood pressure and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol). After adjusting for possible confounders, serum GGT levels were associated with an increased risk of MetS, high waist circumference, high triglyceride level, fasting plasma glucose, DM, and the urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio (P = 0.001). In hypertensive patients, serum GGT levels are positively associated with major cardiovascular risk factors such as MetS, DM, and urinary albumin excretion.
Highly sensitive detection of sentinel lymph node metastasis of breast cancer by digital PCR for RASSF1A methylation (2019)

One‑step nucleic acid amplification (OSNA) targeting cytokeratin 19 (CK19) mRNA expression and pathological examination are widely used for the intraoperative diagnosis of sentinel node (SN) metastasis. The aim of the present study was to develop a novel assay for detecting SN metastasis by targeting Ras association domain‑containing protein 1 (RASSF1A) methylation in tumor cells, and to compare its performance with OSNA. Using digital PCR with methylation‑specific restriction enzymes (RE‑dMSP), our assay was able to detect ≥3 copies of methylated DNA per well, and was ≥10 times more sensitive than real‑time PCR with bisulfite modification. OSNA lysates were examined using RE‑dMSP and digital PCR for PIK3CA mutation, in the event that primary tumors were PIK3CA mutation‑positive. RE‑dMSP revealed a high concordance of 95.0% (153/161) with OSNA, and 100% (59/59) with PIK3CA mutation for detecting SN metastasis. In 11 breast cancer cell lines, the variation in methylated RASSF1A copy number was significantly lower than that of CK19 mRNA (2.8 vs. 10.5‑fold; P<0.01). RE‑dMSP has the potential to more accurately detect SN metastasis, and to more precisely estimate total tumor loads in SN, compared with OSNA.
Synthesis of 1-Isoquinolylacetic Acid Derivatives. (1958)

Isoquinoline cyclization of N-(3, 4-dimethoxyphenethyl)-2-ethoxycarbonylacetamide and 2-alkyl and 2-dialkyl derivatives was studied. Contrary to expectations, the cyclization of dialkyl-substituted acetamide derivatives proceeded most smoothly with excellent yield of the product. One of such products, ethyl α, α-diethyl-α-(6, 7-dimethoxy-3, 4-dihydro-1-isoquinolyl) acetate, resisted all attempts at dehydrogenation and the starting dihydro base was recovered quantitatively. β-Diethylaminoethyl α, α-diethyl-α-(6, 7-dimethoxy-3, 4-dihydro-1-isoquinolyl) acetate was also prepared for pharmacological evaluation.
The Hemodynamic Effect of Right Ventricle (RV), RT3DE Targeted Left Ventricle (LV) and Biventricular (BIV) Pacing in the Early Postoperative Period After Cardiac Surgery (2011)

RT3DE targeted and optimized CRT in the early postperative period after cardiac surgery provided better hemodynamic results than RV pacing.
A Stabilized Formulation of IBX (SIBX) for Safe Oxidation Reactions Including a New Oxidative Demethylation of Phenolic Methyl Aryl Ethers (2003)

[reaction: see text] SIBX is a nonexplosive formulation of IBX that can be used as a suspension in a variety of standard organic solvents such as refluxing EtOAc and THF to oxidize safely alcohols into aldehydes and ketones. The use of hot THF is limited to the oxidation of allylic and benzylic alcohols. Most yields are comparable to those obtained with IBX or DMP. SIBX can also be used to perform oxygenative demethylation of 2-methoxyarenols into orthoquinones and catechols.
Contribution a l'etude de l'organisation fonctionnelle du recepteur nicotinique de l'acetylcholine (1991)

L'organisation structurale des deux sites fonctionnels majeurs du recepteur de l'acetylcholine, que sont le site de reconnaissance de l'agoniste et le canal ionique, a ete etudiee par marquage de photo-affinite et mutagenese dirigee. Sur le site de liaison de l'acetylcholine, nos resultats mettent en avant l'importance de residus aromatiques. Dans le canal, nous confirmons l'importance du segment mii, et analysons le role de certains de ses residus. Dans le cadre de la comprehension du role physiologique de la desensibilisation, nous montrons que le peptide thymique thymopoietine desensibilise le recepteur. Enfin, de maniere a comprendre l'organisation globale du recepteur, nous avons tente d'en obtenir des cristaux tridimensionnels
Versatile Roles of R-Ras GAP in Neurite Formation of PC12 Cells and Embryonic Vascular Development (2006)

Ras GTPase-activating proteins (GAP) are negative regulators of Ras that convert active Ras-GTP to inactive Ras-GDP. R-Ras GAP is a membrane-associated molecule with stronger GAP activity for R-Ras, an activator of integrin, than H-Ras. We found that R-Ras GAP is down-regulated during neurite formation in rat pheochromocytoma PC12 cells by nerve growth factor (NGF), which is blocked by the transient expression of R-Ras gap or dominant negative R-ras cDNA. By establishing a PC12 subclone that stably expresses exogenous R-Ras GAP, it was found that NGF reduced endogenous R-Ras GAP but not exogenous R-Ras GAP, suggesting that down-regulation of R-Ras GAP occurs at the transcription level. To clarify the physiological role of R-Ras GAP, we generated mice that express mutant Ras GAP with knocked down activity. While heterozygotes are normal, homozygous mice die at E12.5-13.5 of massive subcutaneous and intraparenchymal bleeding, probably due to underdeveloped adherens junctions between capillary endothelial cells. These results show essential roles of R-Ras GAP in development and differentiation: its expression is needed for embryonic development of blood vessel barriers, whereas its down-regulation facilitates NGF-induced neurite formation of PC12 cells via maintaining activated R-Ras.
A model for static friction in a film-terminated microfibril array (2009)

We model the response of a film-terminated microfibril array subjected to shear through contact with a rigid cylindrical indenter. Our model determines the shear force acting on the indenter for a fixed normal indenter force before the onset of uniform sliding. Consistent with experiment, our model shows that (1) the contact area increases only slightly with the applied shear and (2) the fibrils inside the contact zone are subjected to tension at intermediate to large applied shear displacement despite the fact that the applied normal load is compressive. These features can be explained by the fact that in our samples the continuous terminal film supports tension. The model accurately matches the experimentally measured shear force response. With the use of an independently measured critical energy release rate for unstable release of the contact, the model shows how this architecture achieves a strong enhancement in static friction.
Trial of 2009 Influenza A (H1N1) Monovalent MF59-Adjuvanted Vaccine (2009)

Monovalent 2009 influenza A (H1N1) MF59-adjuvanted vaccine generates antibody responses likely to be associated with protection after a single dose is administered. (ClinicalTrials.gov number, NCT00943358).
Novel Coronary Stent Platforms (2008)

The stent has been a key part of percutaneous coronary intervention. The advent of drug-eluting stents has further expanded the indication for this technology with a lower overall rate of restenosis. However, the limitations of the current generation stent platforms have become more apparent as more complex are being treated with percutaneous coronary intervention. Coronary stenting sometimes results in a suboptimal outcome for challenging lesion subsets such as tortuous, calcified, bifurcating and multiple and long lesions. In this review, novel stent systems that have been developed to overcome the challenges surrounding current stent designs will be discussed. (Korean Circ J 2008;38:393-397)
Effects of Phentermine and Phenformin on Biomarkers of Aging in Rats (2004)

Treatment with phentermine reduces caloric intake slightly less than is commonly observed in CR studies. CR due to forcibly reduced feeding and CR due to substance-suppressed appetite appear to act through different metabolic mechanisms and thus may affect aging and longevity in different ways.

MicroRNA-153 Regulates the Acquisition of Gliogenic Competence by Neural Stem Cells (2015)

Mammalian neural stem/progenitor cells (NSPCs) sequentially generate neurons and glia during CNS development. Here we identified miRNA-153 (miR-153) as a modulator of the temporal regulation of NSPC differentiation. Overexpression (OE) of miR-153 delayed the onset of astrogliogenesis and maintained NSPCs in an undifferentiated state in vitro and in the developing cortex. The transcription factors nuclear factor I (NFI) A and B, essential regulators of the initiation of gliogenesis, were found to be targets of miR-153. Inhibition of miR-153 in early neurogenic NSPCs induced precocious gliogenesis, whereas NFIA/B overexpression rescued the anti-gliogenic phenotypes induced by miR-153 OE. Our results indicate that miR-mediated fine control of NFIA/B expression is important in the molecular networks that regulate the acquisition of gliogenic competence by NSPCs in the developing CNS.
Dynamic ship positioning using a self-tuning Kalman filter (1983)

A novel adaptive filtering technique is described for a class of systems with unknown disturbances. The estimator includes both a self-tuning filter and a Kalman filter. The state estimates are employed in a closed-loop feedback control scheme which is designed via the usual linear quadratic approach. The approach was developed for application to the dynamic ship positioning control problem and has the advantage that existing nonadaptive Kalman filtering systems may be easily modified to include the self-tuning feature.
A Study on Improvement of Machining Precision in a Medical Milling Robot (2009)

Minimal invasiveness and increasing of precision have recently become important issues in orthopedic surgery. The femur and tibia must be cut precisely for successful knee arthroplasty. The recent trend towards Minimally Invasive Surgery (MIS) has increased surgical difficulty since the incision length and open access area are small. In this paper, the result of deformation analysis of the robot and an active compensation method of robot deformation, which is based on an error map, are proposed and evaluated.
Process structuring, synchronization, and recovery using atomic actions (1977)

This paper explores the notion of an atomic action as a method of process structuring. This notion, first introduced explicitly by Eswaren et al [6] in the context of data base systems, reduces the problem of coping with many processes to that of coping with a single process within the atomic action . A form of process synchronization, the await statement, is adapted to work naturally with atomic actions. System recovery is also considered and we show how atomic actions can be used to isolate recovery action to a single process. Explicit control of recovery is provided by a reset procedure that permits information from rejected control paths to be passed to subsequent alternative paths.
Application of the Cahn-Hilliard equation to miscible systems (2002)

The paper reconciles established theories of non-linear diffusion and flows driven by surface tension with recently resurrected approaches based on the Korteweg stress. Results are presented for the dissolution of particles initially created by spinodal decomposition but which are subsequently heated into a region of miscibility. The resulting non-linear diffusion and concentration-driven flows are simulated for a two-dimensiona l system using zero (lux and no slip boundary conditions at the walls. The dissolution dynamics were studied for a miscible polymer blend on length scales that were reasonably large multiples of the polymer radius of gyration, RG, and on time scales that were reasonable large multiples of the characteristic diffusion time, /?£ ID. As in spinodal decomposition, hydrodynamics are most important when the structure is cocontinuous and become relatively unimportant for paniculate blends. The general approach appears useful for a broad class of problems that involve mixing, unmixing, and phase transformations regardless of miscibility.
Electrical Properties of Atomic-Layer-Deposited La<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub>/Thermal-Nitrided SiO<sub>2</sub> Stacking Dielectric on 4H-SiC(0001) (2007)

We have investigated the electrical properties of metal-oxide-semiconductor (MOS) capacitors with atomic-layer-deposited La2O3, thermal-nitrided SiO2, and atomic-layer-deposited La2O3/thermal-nitrided SiO2 on n-type 4H-SiC. A significant reduction in leakage current density has been observed in La2O3 structure when a 6-nm thick thermal nitrided SiO2 has been sandwiched between the La2O3 and SiC. However, this reduction is still considered high if compared to sample having thermal-nitrided SiO2 alone. The reasons for this have been explained in this paper.

Corticotropin-Releasing Hormone and Proopiomelanocortin Gene Expression Is Altered Selectively in the Male Rat Fetal Thymus by Maternal Alcohol Consumption<sup>1</sup> (1997)

The present study was carried out to investigate how hormonal changes caused by chronic alcohol exposure of rats during the late period of gestation are coordinated with neuroendocrine functions of the fetal thymus, namely thymic expression of CRH and POMC genes. Alcohol consumption by pregnant dams led to a 5-fold elevation of plasma corticosterone (CORT) levels and significantly decreased fetal CORT levels. This generally inverse correlation between maternal and fetal CORT was absent in alcohol-consuming dams and their male fetuses on day 19 of gestation. These day 19 fetuses also had an attenuated plasma testosterone surge that occurred in the male control (pair-fed) fetus on day 19 of embryonic life. Furthermore, fetal alcohol exposure (FAE) resulted in a significant increase in thymic CRH and a decrease in thymic POMC expression in the male fetuses only, specifically on embryonic day 19. Thus, the strong positive correlation between CRH and POMC gene expression in the thymus of pair-fed male and female FAE fetuses was abolished in the FAE males. However, regardless of embryonic age or treatment, a strong positive correlation between thymic POMC gene expression and plasma testosterone levels in the male fetuses was detected. These data suggest that the sexually dimorphic effect of FAE on the fetal thymic POMC and CRH expression in males is driven by testosterone and may be related, therefore, to the presence of alcohol at the time of the prenatal testosterone surge in the male fetuses.
A Mixed (Long- and Medium-chain) Triglyceride Lipid Emulsion Extracts Local Anesthetic from Human Serum In Vitro  More Effectively than a Long-chain Emulsion (2012)

Bupivacaine, ropivacaine, and mepivacaine were sequestered to an extent consistent with their octanol:water partition constants (logP). In contrast with previous studies of extraction of lipids from buffer solutions, an emulsion containing 50% each of medium- and long-chain triglycerides extracted local anesthetics to a greater extent from human serum than one containing exclusively long-chain triglycerides, calling into question recent advanced cardiac life support guidelines for resuscitation from anesthetic toxicity that specify use of a long-chain triglyceride. The current data also do not support recent recommendations to delay administration until pH is normalized.
Cloning and sequence analysis of cDNA for rat corticotropin‐releasing factor precursor (1985)

DNA complementary to the rat hypothalamic mRNA coding for the corticotropin-releasing factor precursor (prepro-CRF) has been cloned by screening a cDNA library with a human genomic DNA probe. Nucleotide sequence analysis of the cloned cDNA has revealed that rat prepro-CRF consists of 187 amino acid residues including a putative signal peptide. The CRF and putative signal peptide regions are more highly conserved among rat, human and ovine prepro-CRF than is the cryptic portion.
