The religious basis of resistance and non‐response: A methodological note (1997)

Abstract The reluctance to participate in enquiries about religious belief and practice takes a variety of forms and has a number of bases. This paper draws upon enquiries of belief and behaviour conducted with samples of 692 Quakers and 238 clergy in the Church of England: in both cases a postal questionnaire was followed by selective interviewing. The paper explores the hazards of operating standard designs across a variety of religious tendencies. Resistance to generalised questions commonly took the form of non‐response at. the questionnaire stage and of negotiation of terms in the interview. It particularly besets enquiries conducted among constituencies which attach special significance to correct wording or acceptable assumptions and have negative dispositions toward the enterprise of social research, its habits of enquiry and its conceptual language. Attention is drawn to the precision with which respondents represent their religious beliefs and practices and the implications of losing this precision in approximations of response for the purpose of analysis. Croups, such as our Quaker sample, which ordinarily occupy themselves with the scrupulous negotiation and definition of aspects of belief, may become more sensitive to methodological issues than those who investigate them; some Anglican clergy, however, resisted questions on the basis of implicit assumptions concerning thé nature of their role. The consequence may be distrust in belief surveys and measures are therefore suggested in this paper to conserve the reputation of researchers.
On the Suitability of Programming Tasks for Automated Evaluation (2006)

For many programming tasks we would be glad to have some kind of automatic evaluation process. As an example, most of the programming contests use an automatic evaluation of the contestants' submissions. While this approach is clearly highly efficient, it also has some drawbacks. Often it is the case that the test inputs are not able to ``break'' all flawed submissions. In this article we show that the situation is not pleasant at all - for some programming tasks it is impossible to design good test inputs. Moreover, we discuss some ways how to recognize such tasks, and discuss other possibilities for doing the evaluation. The discussion is focused on programming contests, but the results can be applied for any programming tasks, e.g., assignments in school.
Structure and function of melanocytes: microscopic morphology and cell biology of mouse melanocytes in the epidermis and hair follicle. (1995)

Melanocytes characterized by their tyrosinase activity, melanosomes and dendrites locate in the basal layer of epidermis and hair bulb in the skin of mice. Melanocytes differentiate from undifferentiated melanoblasts derived from embryonic neural crest. Melanocyte-stimulating hormone plays an important role in the regulation of the differentiation of mouse melanocytes in the epidermis and hair bulb by inducing tyrosinase activity, melanosome formation, transfer of melanosomes and increased dendritogenesis. The proliferative activity of differentiating epidermal melanocytes of newborn mice during the healing of skin wounds is regulated by semidominant genes, suggesting that the genes are involved in regulating the proliferative activity of epidermal melanocytes during differentiation. The morphology and differentiated functions of mouse melanocytes are shown to be influenced by environmental factors such as ultraviolet and ionizing radiations. From the results of serum-free culture of mouse epidermal melanoblasts, basic fibroblast growth factor is shown to stimulate the sustained proliferation of melanoblasts in the presence of dibutyryl adenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate and keratinocytes. In contrast, melanocyte differentiation in serum-free culture is induced by melanocyte-stimulating hormone in the presence of keratinocytes. These results suggest that the structure and function of mouse melanocytes in the epidermis and hair bulb are controlled by both genetic factors and local tissue environment, such as hormones and growth factors.
Weak measurement of the Goos–Hänchen shift (2013)

It is well known from quantum mechanics that weak measurements offer a means of amplifying and detecting very small phenomena. We present here the experimental observation of the Goos-Hänchen shift via a weak measurement approach.
The Palace of Knossos (1902)

As far as it was possible to forecast the Campaign of 1902 on the Palace site of Knossos it promised to be one of finishing up in a limited quarter of the East Slope, with some further delimitation of already fairly ascertained boundaries. But appearances were deceptive. Not only did the work of excavating the remainder of the deep-lying rooms of the Central part of this quarter prove to be of extraordinary difficulty, owing to the masses of heavy superstructures that it was necessary to support, but the building was found to extend further down the slope than the preliminary trial pits had led us to expect. In several cases these had just missed important walls, with the result that vast masses of excavated materials had, towards the close of the previous campaign, been dumped down in places from which they had this year to be removed at the cost of much labour. It was also found that several of the chambers previously excavated along the edge of the second East Slope Terrace—notably those near the Olive Press—overlaid basement areas containing important remains, and these, in turn, the floor levels of a still earlier Palace, covered with pottery of the pure ‘Kamáres’ class.
Albumin bound and alpha 2-macroglobulin bound zinc concentrations in the sera of healthy adults. (1984)

Reference ranges for albumin bound and alpha 2-macroglobulin bound zinc concentrations have been determined in a study of sera obtained from 134 healthy adults. The concentrations of zinc bound to alpha 2-macroglobulin were remarkably constant with a mean (+/-SD) of 2.4 +/- 0.6 mumol/l; the variations in total serum zinc concentrations were almost entirely accounted for by variations in the zinc associated with albumin. There were no sex related differences in the transport of zinc in serum; neither was this sensitive to the use of oral contraceptives. These data provide a baseline for further investigations into the effects of zinc deficiency on the serum transport of the metal.
Toxicity of edible mussels (<i>Mytilus edulis</i>) growing naturally in an estuary during a water bloom of the blue‐green alga <i>Nodularia spumigena</i> (1992)

Abstract Possible accumulation of toxicity by edible mussels growing in a water bloom of Nodularia was investigated during the annual eutrophication of a brackish/marine water estuary in Western Australia. At a cell density of 100,000 cells/mL water, during the growth phase of the bloom, the gut and gut contents of mussels showed the highest toxicity of about 90 mg dry weight of tissue lethal to 1 kg mice by sterile (boiled) i.p. injection. Death was due to hepatotoxicity. It was concluded that edible mussels should not be collected for human consumption during a toxic blue‐green algal bloom.
Investigation of the role of crystal growth zone during silicon carbide growth by the sublimation method (1994)

Abstract The dependence of the growth rate of SiC crystals on the diameter of the graphite crystallization sleeve (GCS) forming the crystal growth zone has been investigated. It has been established that at a given crucible construction there is an exactly determined diameter of (GCS) for growing of SiC crystals with maximum sizes.
Mussel-inspired functionalization of carbon nanotubes for hydroxyapatite mineralization (2010)

Hydroxyapatite (HAp)/carbon nanotubes (CNTs) hybrid composite materials are successfully synthesized via a biomineralization process that employs poly(dopamine) (PDA), a synthetic mimic of mussel adhesive proteins. Creating bio-inorganic composites for regenerative medicine requires appropriate fillers to enhance their mechanical robustness; for example, natural bones are composed mainly of HAp supported by collagen fibers. In this regard, many efforts have been made to harness HAp as a bone substitute through its integration with reinforcing fibrous materials such as CNTs. We found that the formation of a PDA ad-layer on the surface of CNTs changed the hydrophobic CNTs to become bioactive. This enabled efficient interaction between the CNTs and mineral ions (e.g., Ca2+), which facilitated the mineralization of HAp. CNTs functionalized with PDA (CNT-PDA) highly accelerated the formation of HAp when incubated in a simulated body fluid and exhibited a minimal cytotoxic effect on bone osteoblast cells compared to pristine or carboxylated CNTs. Our results show the potential of CNT-PDA as a scaffold material for bone tissue regeneration and implantation.
Die Abhängigkeit der Leistungsbereitschaft von der Tageszeit (1964)

Änderungen physiologischer Funktionen in Abhängigkeit von der Tageszeit wurden bereits im vergangenen Jahrhundert beschrieben. In den früheren Untersuchungen standen Messungen der Körpertemperatur und der Pulsfrequenz im Vordergrund. Mit der Verbesserung der Methoden konnten diese Untersuchungen später auf eine große Anzahl anderer Funktionen wie z. B. Blutdruck, Atemfrequenz, Hautwiderstand, Hautelastizität u. a. ausgedehnt werden. Gerade in den vergangenen drei Jahrzehnten konnten die Kenntnisse auf dem Gebiet der Tagesrhythmik wesentlich erweitert und vertieft werden (vgl. u. a. die Verhandlungen der Internationalen Gesellschaft für biologische Rhythmusforschung 1940, 1953, 1955). Besondere Erwähnung verdienen in diesem Zusammenhang die Beobachtungen von Aschoff (1954, 1955, 1958) im zoologischen Bereich, sowie die von Hellbrügge, Rutenfranz und Mitarbeitern (Hellbrügge und Rutenfranz 1960) im Bereich der Entwicklungsphysiologie.
A Wearable Head-mounted Projection Display (2010)

Conventional head-mounted projection displays (HMPDs) contain of a pair of miniature projection lenses, beamsplitters, and miniature displays mounted on the helmet, as well as a retro-reflective screen placed strategically in the environment. We have extened the HMPD technology integrating the screen into a fully mobile embodiment. Some initial efforts of demonstrating this technology has been captured followed by an investigation of the diffraction effects versus image degradation caused by integrating the retro-reflective screen within the HMPD. The key contribution of this research is the conception and development of a mobileHMPD (M-HMPD). We have included an extensive analysis of macro- and microscopic properties that encompass the retro-reflective screen. Furthermore, an evaluation of the overall performance of the optics will be assessed in both object space for the optical designer and visual space for the possible users of this technology. This research effort will also be focused on conceiving a mobile M-HMPD aimed for dual indoor/outdoor applications. The M-HMPD shares the known advantage such as ultralightweight optics (i.e. 8g per eye), unperceptible distortion (i.e. ≤ 2.5%), and lightweight headset (i.e. ≤ 2.5 lbs) compared with eyepiece type head-mounted displays (HMDs) of equal eye relief and field of view. In addition, the M-HMPD also presents an advantage over the preexisting HMPD in that it does not require a retro-reflective screen placed strategically in the environment. This newly developed M-HMPD has the ability to project clear images at three different locations within near- or far-field observation depths without loss of image quality. This particular M-HMPD embodiment was targeted to mixed reality, augmented reality, and wearable display applications.
Clean‐Lifting Transfer of Large‐area Residual‐Free Graphene Films (2013)

A unique "clean-lifting transfer" (CLT) technique that applies a controllable electrostatic force to transfer large-area and high-quality CVD-grown graphene onto various rigid or flexible substrates is reported. The CLT technique without using any organic support or adhesives can produce residual-free graphene films with large-area processability, and has great potential for future industrial production of graphene-based electronics or optoelectronics.

For most pet owners, osteopath means in first treatment of bones, vertebrae, mechanical or segmental problems. What is less known is that osteopathic manipulation, while restoring the mobility of segments and visceral organs, acts primarily on nerve impulses from the autonomous nervous system which self-reorganizes itself after receiving a signal by manipulation. The practitioner can claim to treat vertebral problems, but also visceral, muscular or… nervous ones. SPEED's case illustrates perfectly this last aspect of osteopathy and combines osteopathic techniques and knowledge in Chinese medicine.
Reliability investigations of down-stream copper interconnect with different Tungsten-VIA structures (2012)

The reliability assessments of tungsten via to copper interconnect were investigated. Three layout schemes of full-landing, just-landing and un-landing via structure showed similar characteristics of electromigration: The activation energy is about 0.8 eV and current density exponent is about 1.9, which means the failure symptoms of interfacial diffusivity and line depletion stress. In this paper, we discussed the relations between mean-time-to-failure and line-end-extension. The lifetime of electromigration is proportional to logarithm of extended spacing, which is attributed to difference of mechanical stress by performing stress migration test. The model was provided a simple reliability assessment of via landing structure for definition of process pitch during technology development that could reduce the chip size and keep good reliability in the same time.
Effect of fluoride on anodization of aluminum in mono-carboxylic acid baths. (1987)

It has been reported that the formation of uniform anodic oxidation coatings on aluminum in baths of mono-carboxylic acids (formic, acetic, propionic, butyric, valeric and benzoic acids) was difficult, and local corrosion on the surface was always observed.In the present paper, the anodization of aluminum in mono -carboxylic acids (formic, acetic, propionic, butyric and lactic acids) was investigated by the constant voltage method (50V, formic acid bath: 15V).Uniform anodic oxidation coatings was prepared in the above baths, and SEM observation of film surfaces and cross-sections revealed that the films had larger size pores (600-700Å) and cells than films formed in a sulfuric acid bath. It was observed that cells of the films dissolved in mono -carboxylic acids and fluoride ion were annexed in the upper parts of film.In terms of dyeing affinity, the films were superior to films of the same thickness prepared in a sulfuric acid bath.
Immunology of Infectious Diseases (2002)

Poland, in September 2000. The workshop, supported by NATO Scientific Affairs, focused on the three major larval cestode diseases of humans: Taenia solium neurocysticercosis, Echinococcus granulosus cystic hydatidosis, and E. multilocularis alveolar hydatidosis. The format and depth of the articles are variable, but readers familiar with these parasites will find the book to be a convenient collection of new information on the subject. A shortcoming is that the book's preface and summary are each limited to a single page.
DOA Estimation Based on Phase-difference (2006)

The method of direction-of-arrival (DOA) estimation for signals based on phase-difference was brought forward. First, apply FFT to the outputs of every array element, then, measure the signals' frequencies and phases of the peak points. Calculate one by one the phase differences of the peak points corresponding to all the array elements, thus to get the phase delays. Then the DOA can be estimated according to the phase delays. The method of this paper avoids the problem of space-frequency method that DOA resolution depends on the number of the array elements. It has less calculation and is easier to realize. Finally, testing by computer simulation, shows that it has high DOA resolution
Smooth Descriptive Modelling of Multifactorial Systems Responses (1987)

SummaryExplanatory modelling of complex systems often leads to subsystems responses which have to be modelled descriptively. Wherever nothing is known about such a response except that it may be expected to depend smoothly on its relevant factors, it can conveniently be modelled by a pseudo-cubic spline function. Necessary data input is a set of empirical response values at factor value combinations, scattered in the domain where the spline is to be used for response prediction. The technique is supported by a portable program toolset. Current applications to seasonal modelling of carbon flux in terrestrial biota are sketched.
An Empirical Model for Vane-Type Vortex Generators in a Navier-Stokes Code (2005)

An empirical model which simulates the effects of vane-type vortex generators in ducts was incorporated into the Wind-US Navier-Stokes computational fluid dynamics code. The model enables the effects of the vortex generators to be simulated without defining the details of the geometry within the grid, and makes it practical for researchers to evaluate multiple combinations of vortex generator arrangements. The model determines the strength of each vortex based on the generator geometry and the local flow conditions. Validation results are presented for flow in a straight pipe with a counter-rotating vortex generator arrangement, and the results are compared with experimental data and computational simulations using a gridded vane generator. Results are also presented for vortex generator arrays in two S-duct diffusers, along with accompanying experimental data. The effects of grid resolution and turbulence model are also examined.
Unusual increases in serum lactate dehydrogenase isoenzyme-5 activity caused by severe congestive cardiac failure: two case reports. (1979)

Two cases of congestive cardiac failure had unusually high activities of serum lactate dehydrogenase and lactate dehydrogenase isoenzyme-5. Values for isoenzyme-5 exceeding 87% of the total serum activity, and increases of 228- to 380-fold of the upper reference limit, are very uncommon.
Storage architecture and software support for SLC/MLC combined flash memory (2009)

We propose a novel flash memory management software for SLC/MLC combined flash memories which are recently introduced to provide flexible and cost-efficient embedded storage systems. To provide a fast and large capacity of flash memory, the proposed scheme utilizes the SLC area as log buffer and the MLC area as data block. Considering the high write cost of MLC flash, the garbage collection for the SLC log buffer moves a page into the MLC data block only when the page is cold or the page invokes a small migration cost. We also propose the bypassing technique which sends a large sequential data into the MLC flash directly not through the SLC log buffer. From the experiments, we can know that the proposed scheme utilizes the SLC log buffer effectively providing better performance compared with the previous flash management schemes for the SLC/MLC combined flash.1
Differential Diagnoses and Treatment of Behavioral Disturbances Associated With Landau—Kleffner Syndrome The Case of T. R (2009)

This case report detailed the process of differential diagnosis and course of treatment for a 9-year-old male with Landau—Kleffner syndrome (LKS). He presented to a long-term inpatient psychiatric facility with primary complaints of physical aggression, property destruction, non-compliance, poor academic performance, and developmental regression. He had no history of seizures. Subsequent to several diagnoses and admits to the hospital, a neuropsychological evaluation was conducted. Findings revealed primary deficits in language (receptive and expressive). Observations during functional analysis indicated the possibility of seizure activity. EEG (electroencephalograph) confirmed this contention. The diagnosis of LKS was given and behavioral therapy was successfully used to extinguish the maladaptive behaviors associated with LKS. This complex case illustrated the necessity and utility of neuropsychological assessment, especially in cases where alternate diagnoses are feasible and also served as an informative case example of possible behavioral manifestations that can occur with LKS, and how to treat such.
HMM-Based Human Fall Detection and Prediction Method Using Tri-Axial Accelerometer (2013)

Falls in the elderly have always been a serious medical and social problem. To detect and predict falls, a hidden Markov model (HMM)-based method using tri-axial accelerations of human body is proposed. A wearable motion detection device using tri-axial accelerometer is designed and realized, which can detect and predict falls based on tri-axial acceleration of human upper trunk. The acceleration time series (ATS) extracted from human motion processes are used to describe human motion features, and the ATS extracted from human fall courses but before the collision are used to train HMM so as to build a random process mathematical model. Thus, the outputs of HMM, which express the marching degrees of input ATS and HMM, can be used to evaluate the risks to fall. The experiment results show that fall events can be predicted 200–400 ms ahead the occurrence of collisions, and distinguished from other daily life activities with an accuracy of 100%.
