Parental Power Bases and Processes as Predictors of Adolescent Conformity (1989)

The purpose of this study was to examine how dimensions of parental power bases and processes predicted adolescent conformity to parental expectations. Questionnaire data were collected from a stratified random sample of 368 adolescents. Multiple regression was the statistical test used to analyze the data. Results from this study indicated that several dimensions of parental power bases and processes were significant predictors of adolescent coniformity. In addition, female adolescents demonstrated greater conformity than male adolescents. A major conclusion drawn from these findings was that social power theory provides a solid theoreticalfoundation for examining parental qualities as predictors of adolescent conformity.

Severe Molecular Defects of a Novel<i>FOXC1 W152G</i>Mutation Result in Aniridia (2009)

Severe molecular consequences, including the inability of the W152G protein aggregates to form protective aggresomes, may underlie the aniridia phenotype that results from the FOXC1 W152G mutation.
The wheat R2R3-MYB transcription factor TaRIM1 participates in resistance response against the pathogen Rhizoctonia cerealis infection through regulating defense genes (2016)

The necrotrophic fungus Rhizoctonia cerealis is a major pathogen of sharp eyespot that is a devastating disease of wheat (Triticum aestivum). Little is known about roles of MYB genes in wheat defense response to R. cerealis. In this study, TaRIM1, a R. cerealis-induced wheat MYB gene, was identified by transcriptome analysis, then cloned from resistant wheat CI12633, and its function and preliminary mechanism were studied. Sequence analysis showed that TaRIM1 encodes a R2R3-MYB transcription factor with transcription-activation activity. The molecular-biological assays revealed that the TaRIM1 protein localizes to nuclear and can bind to five MYB-binding site cis-elements. Functional dissection results showed that following R. cerealis inoculation, TaRIM1 silencing impaired the resistance of wheat CI12633, whereas TaRIM1 overexpression significantly increased resistance of transgenic wheat compared with susceptible recipient. TaRIM1 positively regulated the expression of five defense genes (Defensin, PR10, PR17c, nsLTP1, and chitinase1) possibly through binding to MYB-binding sites in their promoters. These results suggest that the R2R3-MYB transcription factor TaRIM1 positively regulates resistance response to R. cerealis infection through modulating the expression of a range of defense genes, and that TaRIM1 is a candidate gene to improve sharp eyespot resistance in wheat.
The 2980 Å Absorption Spectrum of 1,2,5-Selenadiazole (1974)

The u.v. absorption spectrum of 1,2,5-selenadiazole in the 3050–2600 Å region has been recorded and, by analogy to previous studies of furazan (1,2,5-oxadiazole) and 1,2,5-thiadiazole, an interpretation of the spectrum in terms of an allowed electronic transition involving primarily activity of ν 5 , a symmetric ring in-plane bending vibration, and ν 10 , a ring out-of-plane bending vibration, has been made. This analysis indicates that the excited state is non-planar, and the barrier to planarity has been calculated to be in the order of 115 cm −1 .
Neuromagnetic recordings of the human peripheral nerve with planar SQUID gradiometers (1998)

Magnetic fields produced by a travelling volley in the human ulnar nerve have been successfully measured in a lightly shielded environment. Recordings of the tangential component of the magnetic field were made using a planar second-order gradiometer integrated with a first-order gradiometric superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID). Devices were fabricated in our clean-room facility at the University of Strathclyde and measurements taken in an eddy-current shielded room at the Wellcome Biomagnetism Unit. We use no additional shielding and no electronic differencing or field-nulling techniques. Evoked magnetic fields of 60 fT peak-to-peak were obtained after 1536 averages but they could be seen easily as early as 512 averages. Measurements were made over four points above the ulnar nerve on the upper arm and from these the conduction velocity was calculated as 60 m s(-1).
Optical properties of the human skin / Optičke osobine ljudske kože (2010)

Abstract Visual perception of human skin is determined by the light that reflects off the skin surface to retina and interpretation of these information by visual centers in the brain cortex. Skin has a partly translucent and turbid structure and visual perceptions depend on interactions between the light and structures of the skin surface and below it, through absorption, reflection and scattering. Light absorption by the skin depends on the composition, absorption spectra and amount (volume fraction) of chromophores. Subsurface scattering occurs within the skin layers: Rayleigh scattering (subcellular structures sized up to 1/10 of incident wavelength) and Mie scattering (collagen, melanosomes). Due to fluctuations of the refractive index within tissue components and intense scattering, the spatial distribution of light within the skin is diffuse. Skin images are created by the light that reflects off the skin after being color-modified by absorption and being scattered on the skin surface and internal skin structures.
Application of RORB to Hydrology and Drainage Design on the Ankara Motorways Project, Turkey (1989)

In 1987 Maunseli and Partners (in association) were appointed consulting engineers for the design of a 100 km section of the trans European Motorway into the Turkish capital, Ankara, and 130 km of peripheral motorway around the city. The geography of the area includes high mountains and rugged plains. The aim of this paper is to demonstrate the versatility and usefulness of RORB-3 (an Australian developed Run off Routing Computer Programme) in analysing the larger drainage catchments in order to estimate design peak flows for cross drainage structures on motorways. A brief introduction to the RORB-3 programme is given, followed by the results of calibration of individual catchment models in the upland region north of Ankara against historical streamflow records at gauging stations in the region. The development of a complex model for the Ankara region itself, including both rural and urban catchments, and controlled discharges from dams and lakes, is then described, with particular emphasis on the difficulties of model verification in the absence of historical stream flow data. For the upland region north of Ankara logarithmic relationships between the RORB-3 parameter k{c} and catchment area were found to agree very closely, to the results of South Australian RORB Studies (as given in Australian Rainfall and Runoff), and peak discharge values were in agreement with those estimated from Regional Flood Curves. For the Ankara region, the versatility of RORB-3 enabled a physically complex catchment to be modelled realistically, taking account of urban development and artificial controls on river flows.

[Neonatal buprenorphine withdrawal syndrome, what is the right therapy?]. (1998)

Buprenorphine is a new substance now widely used in detoxification of heroin addicts. In this report we describe the case of a newborn baby who suffered from a neonatal withdrawal syndrome characterized by a severe and prolonged course. This syndrome was followed by marked symptoms of impaired neurological development and by epilepsy. The ineffectiveness of methadone in relieving withdrawal symptoms from buprenorphine and its potential dangerous effects in this case are also outlined, whereas the efficacy of therapy with phenobarbytal is stressed. We think that this case is noteworthy, since the widespread use of buprenorphine among drug addicts will probably provoke an increase in the number of cases of buprenorphine withdrawal syndrome in the next years.
Kinetics, Pharmacokinetics, and Regulation of l‐Carnitine and Acetyl‐l‐carnitine Metabolism (2004)

In mammals, the carnitine pool consists of nonesterified L-carnitine and many acylcarnitine esters. Of these esters, acetyl-L-carnitine is quantitatively and functionally the most significant. Carnitine homeostasis is maintained by absorption from diet, a modest rate of synthesis, and efficient renal reabsorption. Dietary L-carnitine is absorbed by active and passive transfer across enterocyte membranes. Bioavailability of dietary L-carnitine is 54-87% and is dependent on the amount of L-carnitine in the meal. Absorption of L-carnitine dietary supplements (0.5-6 g) is primarily passive; bioavailability is 14-18% of dose. Unabsorbed L-carnitine is mostly degraded by microorganisms in the large intestine. Circulating L-carnitine is distributed to two kinetically defined compartments: one large and slow-turnover (presumably muscle), and another relatively small and rapid-turnover (presumably liver, kidney, and other tissues). At normal dietary L-carnitine intake, whole-body turnover time in humans is 38-119 h. In vitro experiments suggest that acetyl-L-carnitine is partially hydrolyzed in enterocytes during absorption. In vivo, circulating acetyl-L-carnitine concentration was increased 43% after oral acetyl-L-carnitine supplements of 2 g/day, indicating that acetyl-L-carnitine is absorbed at least partially without hydrolysis. After single-dose intravenous administration (0.5 g), acetyl-L-carnitine is rapidly, but not completely hydrolyzed, and acetyl-L-carnitine and L-carnitine concentrations return to baseline within 12 h. At normal circulating l-carnitine concentrations, renal l-carnitine reabsorption is highly efficient (90-99% of filtered load; clearance, 1-3 mL/min), but displays saturation kinetics. Thus, as circulating L-carnitine concentration increases (as after high-dose intravenous or oral administration of L-carnitine), efficiency of reabsorption decreases and clearance increases, resulting in rapid decline of circulating L-carnitine concentration to baseline. Elimination kinetics for acetyl-L-carnitine are similar to those for L-carnitine. There is evidence for renal tubular secretion of both L-carnitine and acetyl-L-carnitine. Future research should address the correlation of supplement dosage, changes and maintenance of tissue L-carnitine and acetyl-L-carnitine concentrations, and metabolic and functional changes and outcomes.

A trend-detection algorithm for intraoperative EEG monitoring (1996)

Intraoperative EEG-monitoring needs to discriminate random fluctuations from real systematic variations (trends). This task is made more difficult by several types of artifacts. With the goal of supporting visual EEG evaluation, a new trend-detection algorithm is presented which is based on spectral analysis and a post-processing dynamic linear model, the latter introduced by Harrison and Stevens. A gradient value provided by this model is exploited to determine the onset and relative extent of an existing trend. Artifacts are detected by several threshold measures for the original signal and its first derivative. The system was validated using a set of intraoperative EEGs recorded during carotid endarterectomy.
Group Decision-Making Model Based on Rough Set and Evidence Theory (2010)

In this paper, rough set and evidence theory are applied to the research on the evaluation of group decision making. Focal element increases rapidly while applying the evidence theory. A feature reduction algorithm based on rough set is used when classification result is almost invariable. On one hand, in order to reduce the interdependence between evidences, we adopt a little attributes to evaluation decision-making problem. On the other hand, in order to prevent focal element increasing rapidly, we draw the weight of every attribute from the decision form and prevent subjectivity points of the experts. Finally, an example is presented to pove prove that the proposed method is feasible.
Broadband blade antenna for airborne applications (2011)

In this paper, design and development of broadband blade antenna covering 0.5-2.0 GHz is presented. Blade monopole antennas are preferred for airborne application due to their compact size, light weight and aerodynamic shape leading to minimum drag. For lower air drag, the antenna is placed inside the aerodynamically shaped radome. An air core coil is also provided for DC grounding proposes. The antenna configuration is first optimized using FDTD based CST Microwave Studio™ EM simulation software and latter practically implemented. The comparison of simulated and measured results is also presented in this paper.
Multiple but dissectible functions of FEN‐1 nucleases in nucleic acid processing, genome stability and diseases (2005)

Flap EndoNuclease-1 (FEN-1) is a multifunctional and structure-specific nuclease involved in nucleic acid processing pathways. It plays a critical role in maintaining human genome stability through RNA primer removal, long-patch base excision repair and resolution of dinucleotide and trinucleotide repeat secondary structures. In addition to its flap endonuclease (FEN) and nick exonuclease (EXO) activities, a new gap endonuclease (GEN) activity has been characterized. This activity may be important in apoptotic DNA fragmentation and in resolving stalled DNA replication forks. The multiple functions of FEN-1 are regulated via several means, including formation of complexes with different protein partners, nuclear localization in response to cell cycle or DNA damage and post-translational modifications. Its functional deficiency is predicted to cause genetic diseases, including Huntington's disease, myotonic dystrophy and cancers. This review summarizes the knowledge gained through efforts in the past decade to define its structural elements for specific activities and possible pathological consequences of altered functions of this multirole player.
Azidothymidine Associated with Bone Marrow Failure in the Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS) (1987)

Four patients with the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome, and a history of Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia developed severe pancytopenia (hemoglobin, less than 85 g/L; granulocytes, less than or equal to 0.5 X 10(9)/L; platelets, less than or equal to 30 X 10(9)/L) 12 to 17 weeks after the initiation of azidothymidine (AZT) therapy. The bone marrow was markedly hypocellular in three patients and moderately hypocellular in the fourth. Partial bone marrow recovery was documented within 4 to 5 weeks in three patients, but no marrow recovery has yet occurred in one patient during the more than 6 months since AZT treatment was discontinued. Azidothymidine should be used cautiously, with close monitoring of blood values.
GLUED-LAMINATED TIMBER PANELS FOR BRIDGE DECK REPLACEMENT (1996)

Research was conducted to evaluate the viability of using Oklahoma timber species in glued-laminated panel designs for bridge deck replacement. Panels were fabricated from southern pine, red oak, and cottonwood. Laboratory tests were conducted to determine the mechanical properties of panels fabricated from the three different species and allowable spans were computed based on test results. Panels were installed on seven in-service bridges ranging in width from 4.82 to 6.89 m (15.8 to 22.6 ft), and in length from 9.5 to 37.2 m (31 to 122 ft). Advantages of timber panels relative to other decking materials include reduction in out-of-service time, easy installation, reduced dead loads, increased resistance to road chemicals, and a wider tolerance to weather conditions during installation.
Arrangement of the genome of the human papovavirus RF virus (1980)

DNA from plaque-purified RF virus, a variant of BK virus, was found to contain two species of molecules. Hybridization of each DNA species to the fragments of BK virus DNA revealed that one species had a deletion corresponding to at least 50% of the late region and the other had a deletion corresponding to at least 40% of the early region of BK virus DNA. Analysis by cleavage of each RF virus DNA species with restriction endonucleases EcoRI, HindIII, AvaII, and PvuII, when compared with BK virus DNA, revealed that the size and number of fragments were different. These results suggest the loss of some restriction sites and the appearance of new sites, probably as a result of base changes in each RF virus DNA species. Furthermore, analysis of the restriction map of each DNA molecule revealed in insertion(s) in both DNA species.
Swine Monoclonal Antibodies of High Affinity and Specificity to Carcinoembryonic Antigen (1987)

To avoid the exclusive use of rodent monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) in patients for the detection of tumors by immunoscintigraphy and for radioimmunotherapy, swine MAbs were produced that are directed against carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA). Spleen cells from 2 pigs immunized with purified colon carcinoma CEA were fused with a nonsecreting mouse myeloma cell line by conventional methods, except that a particularly long immunization protocol and large amounts of spleen and myeloma cells were used. Of 1,200 growing hybrids tested, 20 were found initially to produce antibodies binding to radiolabeled CEA. Seven stable clones producing anti-CEA MAbs for more than 6 months were derived from these hybrids by repeated subcloning. The pig origin of the seven MAbs was demonstrated in a solid-phase CEA enzyme immunoassay where anti-pig immunoglobin (Ig) antibodies coupled to peroxidase gave a positive reaction while anti-mouse Ig antibodies were entirely negative. All swine MAbs were of the IgG isotype. Three anti-CEA MAbs showed no cross-reactivity with granulocytes, while four others gave various degrees of reactivity with different granulocyte glycoproteins. Competitive binding to CEA performed for two purified swine MAbs showed that they recognized two different epitopes. The affinity constants measured for these two MAbs by Scatchard plot on purified CEA were high (1.2 X 10(9) and 1.2 X 10(10) liter/mol). One of the MAbs was tested in vivo for tumor localization by injection, after radiolabeling, in nude mice bearing human colon carcinoma xenograft. High ratios of tumor to normal tissue were obtained with mean values of 10.5 for intact MAbs and of 26.8 for F(ab')2 fragments of the porcine MAb. The results showed that heterofusion with this particular protocol can be used to produce swine MAbs of high affinity and specificity for a well-defined tumor marker. These reagents may have an important clinical utility, particularly in patients who became sensitized to mouse immunoglobulins.
Short-period variations of the vertical electric current in the air. (1984)

Data on the measurements of the variations of the electric current in the air on mid-latitudes in the range 2.5-0.1Hz and 0.1-0.01Hz are given. It is shown that there are essential differences in the character of the variations of the vertical electric current and of the magnetic field in the range 0.1-0.01Hz, namely of their distribution in local time and dependence on Kp-index. The previously unknown signals with V-form spectrum were registered in the vertical electric current and in the magnetic field in the range 2.5-0.1Hz. The model of the oscillation of the space charge in the near Earth's layer under the action of infrasound is suggested to explain some of the observed variations.

COMBINED INJURY: FACTORS WITH POTENTIAL TO IMPACT RADIATION DOSE ASSESSMENTS (2010)

Combined injuries, which are expected after a radiation dispersal device release or nuclear weapon detonation, are the combination of radiation exposure and tissue injuries from blast and thermal energy. To determine the impact of such trauma, mice were used to (1) evaluate the consequences of skin tissue injuries after various qualities and doses of radiation and (2) document substances that increase survival from radiation injury. Female 12- to 20-wk-old mice weighing 23 +/- 3 g received dorsal skin burns or wounds (15% total body skin surface) under methoxyflurane anesthesia before or after irradiation in this study approved by the Armed Forces Radiobiology Research Institute (AFRRI) Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee. Methoxyflurane is analgesic up to 48 h after injury. The radiations used in these studies included Co gamma photons (1.25 MeV) and research-reactor-produced neutrons with an average energy of 0.96 MeV in either an enriched-field [n/(n + gamma) = 0.95] configuration at 4.2 kW or a mixed-field [n/(n + gamma) = 0.67] configuration operated at 45 kW. Dose rates averaged 0.4 Gy/min. Endpoints included survival, LD50/30s (lethal dose to produce 50% mortality in 30 d), dose modifying factors, relative biological effectiveness values, tissue alterations, susceptibility to bacterial challenge, and countermeasure efficacies. Countermeasures evaluated included S-3-(3-methylaminopropylamino) propylthiophosphorothioic acid (WR-151327), antibiotics, immune modulators, and bone marrow transplantation. Of these treatments, survival was improved by WR-151327, antibiotics, synthetic trehalose discorynomycolate, and bone marrow transplantation. Because trauma to irradiated personnel and medical countermeasures may affect biodosimetric measurements, it will be necessary to quickly determine radiation dose in order to implement appropriate therapy.
