Ischemic strength training: a low‐load alternative to heavy resistance exercise? (2008)

Strength training with low loads in combination with vascular occlusion has been proposed as an alternative to heavy resistance exercise in the rehabilitation setting, especially when high forces acting upon the musculo-skeletal system are contraindicated. Several studies on low-to-moderate intensity resistance exercise combined with cuff occlusion have demonstrated increases in muscle strength and size that are comparable to those typically seen after conventional high-load strength training. However, the physiological mechanisms by which occlusion training induces increased muscle mass and strength are currently unclear, although several candidate stimuli have been proposed. Also, the long-term safety, practicality, and efficacy of this training method are still controversial. Furthermore, recent studies have demonstrated that in some instances, tourniquet cuffs may not be necessary for relative ischemia and significant training effects to occur with resistance exercise at low-to-moderate loads. The aims of the present review are to summarize current opinion and knowledge regarding the physiology of ischemic strength training and to discuss some of the training and health aspects of this type of exercise. In addition, suggestions for further research are given.

Lithotripsy Performance of Specially Designed Laser Fiber Tips (2015)

The standard laser fiber was as good as and sometimes better than the specially designed fibers. Rapid degradation of the specially designed laser fiber tips strongly limits their general usefulness but ball-shaped tip fibers may be useful in specific situations.
Reactions of EDTA Complexes of Fe, Zn, Mn, and Cu with Soils (1969)

Abstract The Fe, Zn, Cu, and Mn complexes and the Na salt of EDTA (ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid) were reacted with suspensions of acid, neutral, and calcareous soils. The initial concentration of chelate was 1 × 10 ‐4 M or on a soil weight basis, 11.2, 13.1, 12.7, and 11.0 ppm of Fe, Zn, Cu, and Mn, respectively. Suspensions were aerated and shaken continuously for periods of 2 hours to 30 days. At the termination of each reaction period the pH of the suspensions was measured; following centrifugation, the supernatant solutions were analyzed for Fe, Zn, Cu, Mn, Ca, and Mg by atomic absorption spectrophotometry. The concentration of 14 C‐labeled EDTA was determined by liquid scintillation. FeEDTA was stable in soil suspensions of pH 5.7 and 6.1, moderately stable at pH 6.75, and unstable at pH 7.3 and 7.85. This behavior was satisfactorily predicted using formation constants to describe equilibria of EDTA with Fe 3+ , Ca 2+ , and H + , with the assumption that the Fe 3+ concentration was controlled by the solubility of amorphous iron(III) oxides. ZnEDTA and CuEDTA were most stable in suspensions near neutrality. In acid soils Cu and Zn were increasingly displaced by Fe as pH decreased while in calcareous soils these metals were displaced by Ca as pH increased. The loss of Mn from MnEDTA was very rapid in all soils and was essentially complete in less than one day from suspensions of pH 6.1 to 7.85.

Impact of Using Instructional Video Games on EFL Learners' Vocabulary Retention (2016)

This study aimed at investigating the impact of Instructional Video Games (IVGs) on the vocabulary retention of Iranian language learners. To do so, 32 male and 43 female, between the ages thirteen to thirty one years old, in Padideh Derakhshan Institute, Sahinshahr, Isfahan, Iran were selected as a whole population. First, the World English placement test was administered, and 60 learners were chosen as the participants of the study. Next, a test of novelty as a pretest of vocabulary was administered at the early stage of the study to ensure the novelty of to-be-instructed words and participants' unfamiliarity with those words. The experimental group members were treated with the new way of learning, IVGs, to practice the new words in each lesson, but control group members were treated with by memorizing the new words through a list. After four weeks both groups sat for vocabulary posttest, and about one month later they sat for delayed posttest. The results were compared statistically. The statistical analysis indicated significant difference in vocabulary retention on learners of the experimental group.
Managing nonalcoholic fatty liver disease in patients living with HIV (2016)

Although additional work is needed to understand the natural history of NAFLD in patients with HIV and identify those at highest risk, novel treatment approaches are now being tested in this population. We may soon have effective treatments to combat this epidemic.
Sunrise for energy harvesting products (2005)

Hundreds of companies and research institutes in the US, Europe, and Japan are working on energy harvesting technology, and the industry is attracting millions of dollars in venture capital. But despite these considerable investments, progress in bringing this technology to market has been slow. Alternative power sources contribute only a fraction to worldwide power generation, and the load on the environment, much of it toxic, is still increasing. Billions of batteries are discarded every year. Researchers are deploying energy harvesting technology in architecture projects. The energy harvesting products include windup-powered radios, cell phones with chargers, magnetic force flashlights and laptops with huge batteries.

Polymerization of proteins with glutaraldehyde. Soluble molecular-weight markers (1973)

Glutaraldehyde is well known for its ability to react with proteins and to produce insoluble cross-linked aggregates. In contrast with this situation, conditions are described here which yield covalently linked soluble protein oligomers. The procedure is applicable to a wide range of proteins, and by slight variation in the reaction conditions, soluble polymers in the molecular weight range 3x10(4)-2x10(7) were produced. The products are valuable as molecular-weight markers, e.g. in sodium dodecyl sulphate-polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis. The inherent similarities of these oligomers make them superior to commercial molecular-weight protein markers, which may have marked differences in composition and charge.
NF-κB as a target for cancer therapy (2007)

NF-kappaB transcription factors and the signaling pathways that activate them play a critical role in cancer development, progression and therapy, and recently have become a focal point for intense drug discovery and development efforts. This article presents a critical review on the different types of inhibitors targeting the NF-kappaB pathway at several stages.
MobiPADS: a reflective middleware for context-aware mobile computing (2003)

Traditionally, middleware technologies, such as CORBA, Java RMI, and Microsoft's DCOM, have provided a set of distributed computing services that essentially abstract the underlying network services to a monolithic "black box." In a mobile operating environment, the fundamental assumption of middleware abstracting a unified distributed service for all types of applications operating over a static network infrastructure is no longer valid. In particular, mobile applications are not able to leverage the benefits of adaptive computing to optimize its computation based on current contextual situations. In this paper, we introduce the Mobile Platform for Actively Deployable Service (MobiPADS) system. MobiPADS is designed to support context-aware processing by providing an executing platform to enable active service deployment and reconfiguration of the service composition in response to environments of varying contexts. Unlike most mobile middleware, MobiPADS supports dynamic adaptation at both the middleware and application layers to provide flexible configuration of resources to optimize the operations of mobile applications. Within the MobiPADS system, services (known as mobilets) are configured as chained service objects to provide augmented services to the underlying mobile applications so as to alleviate the adverse conditions of a wireless environment.
Approximation for the Rayleigh Resolution of a Circular Aperture (2009)

Rayleigh's criterion states that a pair of point sources are barely resolved by an optical instrument when the central maximum of the diffraction pattern due to one source coincides with the first minimum of the pattern of the other source. As derived in standard introductory physics textbooks,1 the first minimum for a rectangular slit of width a is located at angular position θ = sin−1 (λ/a) for light of wavelength λ. If the angular separation of the two sources is small, we can use the small-angle approximation sin θ ≈ θ to conclude that the resolution is θmin = λ/a for a rectangular aperture. On the other hand, for a circular aperture of diameter D, the limiting angle is shown in optics texts2 to be θmin = 1.22 λ/D. The derivation of the numerical prefactor of 1.22 involves finding the zero of a Bessel function and is beyond the reach of introductory physics students. Consequently, elementary texts simply pull that prefactor out of thin air. The purpose of the present paper is to briefly explain why we expect a prefactor larger than unity and to make simple estimates of its value, using only algebra.
The Effect of Heat‐Up on the Performance of Magnesium Batteries (1975)

The heat produced as a result of the inefficiency of magnesium dry cells can be an advantage on high rate application in that it results in a higher cell temperature. The higher the temperature the better the cell performs. Multicell batteries magnify this effect. Experimental BA‐4840 military batteries discharged in a 70°F room show internal temperatures of over 130°F and yield 33 W‐hr/lb. Insulation can be employed to enhance this effect.
Microphotometry in immunofluorescence. (1969)

A specially sensitive version of the Reichert microphotometer provides a means of obtaining accurate measurements of the emission of immunofluorescent microscopical preparations. The fluorescence of single particles down to 0·8 μ in diameter may be measured with all background excluded. The photometer has permitted determinations of titre of antisera, assessment of the validity of conventional visual estimation of fluorescence, and comparative studies of fluorescence intensity and fading under a variety of conditions. Preliminary studies by double immunofluorescent staining of two distinct antigenic constituents of cells which might be present either separately or together, suggest future value in investigations of cell differentiation and dedifferentiation.

Effects of central or peripheral axotomy on membrane properties of sensory neurones in the petrosal ganglion of the cat. (1987)

1. The properties of sensory neurones in the petrosal ganglion of the cat were examined in vitro with intracellular electrodes 8 days after section of the central (bulbar roots) or peripheral process. Two types of cells, both with conduction velocities faster than 2 m/s and with humps on the falling phases of their action potentials (H-neurones), were studied: glossopharyngeal neurones arising from the tongue and pharynx, and carotid neurones originating in the carotid body and carotid sinus. 2. Peripheral axotomy produced an increase in action potential duration and a marked decrease in the amplitude and duration of the spike after-hyperpolarization in both glossopharyngeal and carotid neurones. 3. The maximum rate of depolarization of the action potential increased after peripheral axotomy in glossopharyngeal cells but did not change in carotid neurones. 4. The time-dependent inward rectification in response to hyperpolarizing pulses was markedly reduced in both types of cells after peripheral axotomy. 5. Section of the peripheral process produced a decrease of the rheobase of glossopharyngeal cells, but not of carotid neurones. After axotomy the proportion of cells giving tonic discharges in response to long depolarizing pulses increased from 13 to 54% among carotid neurones but did not change in glossopharyngeal cells. 6. No significant changes in membrane potential or input resistance of either group of cells were found after peripheral axotomy. 7. Central axotomy did not produce any changes in the electrophysiological properties of glossopharyngeal or carotid neurones. 8. Peripheral conduction velocity was decreased in both types of cells after peripheral axotomy, but did not change after section of the bulbar roots. 9. It is concluded that the electrical properties of sensory neurones are modified after peripheral axotomy but not after central axotomy. Furthermore, the changes produced by peripheral axotomy are different in neurones innervating different peripheral targets. 10. The possibility that some electrical properties of sensory neurones are maintained by their peripheral targets is discussed.
Influence of Wax-coated and Polyethylene-coated Paper Mulch on Growth and Flowering of Tomato1 (1972)

Abstract Growth of direct seeded ‘Fireball’ tomato plants was accelerated by both wax and polyethylene coating on paper mulches. Mulching increased no. of clusters, flowers, fruit per plant, and earliness. Polyethylene coating hastened growth and development more than wax coating.
Effective and intrinsic surface impedances of high-T/sub c/ superconducting thin films (1992)

The microwave effective surface impedances of different stacks made of YBa/sub 2/Cu/sub 3/O/sub 7/ films, dielectric materials, and bulk normal metals were computed, using the two-fluid model of superconductors and conventional transmission line theory. these effective impedances are compared to the calculated intrinsic surface impedances of the stacked superconducting films with a penetration depth of 220 nm and a normal resistivity of 100 mu Omega -cm at 77 K. The films were assumed to be epitaxial, with thicknesses ranging from a few nanometers to 1 mu m. The discrepancy between the effective surface resistances or reactances and the corresponding intrinsic values, determined at 10 GHz, exhibits a sharp peak at resonance. The effective surface reactance also shows huge variations around the resonance conditions and may be negative. Moreover, geometries resulting in an effective resistance smaller than the film intrinsic value have been found.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>
Data Modulation for a Direct Sequence Pseudonise Spread Spectrum Communication System (1981)

Abstract : This report considers the incoherent demodulation performance of M- ary orthogonal keying (MOK) and M-ary differential phase shift keying (MDPSK) in the presence of a Doppler frequency shift of the carrier. It is shown that MOK has a significant performance improvement over MDPSK for values of M greater than four in terms of the required signal-to-noise ratio per information bit. The choice of the orthogonal signaling set is important in evaluating the sensitivity of MOK to Doppler frequency shift. If Walsh function signaling sets are to be chosen, then the ultimate performance in Doppler is limited by the lowest frequency Rademacher function in the signaling set. A single M segment can be used to implement the M-ary matched filter. By increasing the number of convolver segments, signaling sets with better performance in the presence of a Doppler frequency shift can be implemented.

A High Linearity +44.5-dBm IP $3~C$ -Band 6-Bit Digital Phase Shifter Using SOI Technology for Phased Array Applications (2019)

A 6-bit digital phase shifter in 0.18-μm silicon-oninsulator (SOI) process is presented. It operates over a 4-7-GHz frequency band and provides 360° of phase coverage with 5.625° resolution using 64 phase states. The SOI phase shifter has a compact size of 1320 μm × 780 μm. Compared to a state-of-the-art 0.15-μm pHEMT-based product design, the SOI IC design is five times smaller in size with 2-6 dB higher IP3 and power handling capability. To the best of authors' knowledge, this is the highest IP3 of phase shifter using commercial SOI technology. These SOI monolithic microwave integrated circuit (MMIC) phase shifter characteristics are attractive for military radar and commercial phased array communication systems where cost, size, weight, and power (C-SWAP) and high linearity are required.
Bidirectional Importance Sampling for Unstructured Direct Illumination (2009)

Abstract Recent research in bidirectional importance sampling has focused primarily on structured illumination sources such as distant environment maps, while unstructured illumination has received little attention. In this paper, we present a method for bidirectional importance sampling of unstructured illumination, allowing us to use the same method for sampling both distant as well as local/indirect sources. Building upon recent work in [ WFA*05 ], we model complex illumination as a large set of point lights. The subsequent sampling process draws samples only from this point set. We start by constructing a piecewise constant approximation for the lighting using an illumination cut [ CPWAP08 ]. We show that this cut can be used directly for illumination importance sampling. We then use BRDF importance sampling followed by sample counting to update the cut, resulting in a bidirectional distribution that closely approximates the product of the illumination and BRDF. Drawing visibility samples from this new distribution significantly reduces the sampling variance. As a main advance over previous work, our method allows for unstructured sources, including arbitrary local direct lighting and one‐bounce of indirect lighting.
Dynamic Load Balancing and Network Adaptive Virtual Storage Service for Mobile Appliances (2011)

With the steady growth of mobile technology and applications, demand for more storage in mobile devices has also increased. A lightweight block-level protocol, Internet Advanced Technology Attachment (iATA), has been developed to deliver a cost-effective storage network solution for mobile devices to obtain more storage. This paper seeks to contribute to designing and implementing Load Balancing (LB), Network Monitoring (NM) and Write Replication (WR) modules to improve the protocol's scalability and data availability. LB and NM modules are invoked to collect system resources states and current network status at each associate node (server machine). A dynamic weight factor is calculated based on the collected information and sent to a referral server. The referral server is responsible to analyze and allocate the most ideal node with the least weight to serve the client. With this approach, the client can avoid connecting to a heavily loaded node that may cause delays in subsequent in-band I/O operations. Write replication is applied to the remaining nodes through a WR module by utilizing the Unison file synchronization program. A client initially connected to node IP A for write operations will have no hindrances in executing the relevant read operations at node IP B in new connections. In the worst case scenario of a node crashing, data remain recoverable from other functioning nodes. We have conducted several benchmark tests and our results are evaluated and verified in a later section.
