Secreted Portion of Glycoprotein G of Herpes Simplex Virus Type 2 Is a Novel Antigen for Type-Discriminating Serology (2003)

The secreted portion of glycoprotein G (sgG-2) of herpes simplex virus type 2 (HSV-2) was evaluated as a novel antigen in an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) format for detection of type-specific immunoglobulin G (IgG) antibodies in HSV-2-infected patients. The results were compared with those obtained by a commercially available assay, the HerpeSelect 2 ELISA (the FOCUS2 assay). Five different panels of sera were analyzed: panel A consisted of 109 serum samples from patients with a culture-proven HSV-1 infection that were Western blotting (WB) negative for HSV-2; panel B consisted of 106 serum samples from patients with a culture-proven recurrent HSV-2 infection that were WB positive for HSV-2; panel C consisted of 100 serum samples with no detectable IgG antibodies against HSV-1 and HSV-2; panel D consisted of 70 HSV-2 negative "tricky" serum samples containing antinuclear IgG antibodies or IgM antibodies against other viruses or bacteria; and panel E consisted of consecutive serum samples from 21 patients presenting with a first episode of HSV-2-induced lesions. When sera in panels A to C were analyzed, the sgG-2 ELISA and the FOCUS2 assay both showed sensitivities and specificities of >or=98%. In total, among the samples in panel D, 13 serum samples (19%) were false positive by the FOCUS2 assay and 1 serum sample (1.4%) was false positive by the sgG-2 ELISA. When the sera in panel E were analyzed, the sgG-2 ELISA detected seroconversion somewhat later than WB or the FOCUS2 assay did. We conclude that sgG-2 induces an HSV-2 type-specific antibody response and can be used for type-discriminating serology.
BIOMIMETIC DESIGN OF LOW STIFFNESS ACTUATOR SYSTEMS FOR PROSTHETIC LIMBS (2011)

The various relationships that are possible between the mechanical properties of single actuators and the overall mechanism (in this case a human arm with or without a prosthetic elbow) are discussed. Graphical and analytical techniques for describing the range of overall limb stiffnesses that are achievable and for characterizing the overall limb stiffness have been developed. Using a biomimetic approach and, considering energetic costs, stability and complexity, the implications of choosing passive or active implementations of stiffness are discussed. These techniques and approaches are particularly applicable with redundant (agonist - antagonist) actuators and multiple degrees of freedom. Finally, a novel biomimetic approach for control is proposed.
Selected phenolic compounds in cultivated plants: ecologic functions, health implications, and modulation by pesticides. (1999)

Phenolic compounds are widely distributed in the plant kingdom. Plant tissues may contain up to several grams per kilogram. External stimuli such as microbial infections, ultraviolet radiation, and chemical stressors induce their synthesis. The phenolic compounds resveratrol, flavonoids, and furanocoumarins have many ecologic functions and affect human health. Ecologic functions include defense against microbial pathogens and herbivorous animals. Phenolic compounds may have both beneficial and toxic effects on human health. Effects on low-density lipoproteins and aggregation of platelets are beneficial because they reduce the risk of coronary heart disease. Mutagenic, cancerogenic, and phototoxic effects are risk factors of human health. The synthesis of phenolic compounds in plants can be modulated by the application of herbicides and, to a lesser extent, insecticides and fungicides. The effects on ecosystem functioning and human health are complex and cannot be predicted with great certainty. The consequences of the combined natural and pesticide-induced modulating effects for ecologic functions and human health should be further evaluated.
UAV-Assisted RF Energy Transfer (2018)

Limited battery capacity is one of the major hurdles towards perpetual operation of wireless sensor networks (WSNs). In this work, a framework for Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) based wireless charging of sensor nodes using radio frequency energy transfer (RFET) is presented. First, RFET zone is conceptualized where energy transfer is possible such that the received power is above a sensitivity level of power harvester. Next, two novel strategies Static Charging Time Allocation (SCTA) and Optimal Charging Time Allocation (OCTA) are proposed for charging the sensors. The UAV remains static in SCTA, whereas in OCTA it hovers above each sensor node and replenishes depleted energy of the sensors that are within its RFET zone. Further, a model for evaluating the energy consumption of UAV is presented in order to determine the number of rounds required by the UAV for charging. Different gas sensors are planted emulating a practical deployment scenario, and with this arrangement charging time with the proposed strategies are evaluated. Our numerical results justify applicability of the UAV-assisted RFET.

Surface Phase Separation and Flow in a Simple Model of Multicomponent Drops and Vesicles (2007)

We introduce and investigate nu- merically a thermodynamically consistent simple model of a drop or vesicle in which the interfa- cial surface contains multipleconstitutivecompo- nents (e.g. amphiphilic molecules). The model describes the nonlinear coupling among the flow, drop/vesicle morphology and the evolution of the surface phases. We consider a highly simplified version of the Helfrich model for fluid-like vesi- cle membranes in which we neglect the effects of bending forces and spontaneous curvature but keep the effects of inhomogeneous surface ten- sion forces. Thus, this model may also describe liquid drops. To solve the highly nonlinear, cou- pled system a new numerical method is devel- oped. This method combines the immersed inter- face method to solve the flow equations, and the Laplace-Young jump conditions, with the level- set method to represent and evolve the interface and a non-stiff Eulerian algorithm to update the mass concentration on the drop interface. Re- sultsarepresented fordrops/vesiclesin an applied shear flow where an initially unstable mixture of the surface mass separates into distinct phases.

Non-invasive ultrasound in arterial wall dynamics in humans: what have we learned and what remains to be solved (2005)

In the past decades, non-invasive vascular ultrasound has substantially improved our insights into artery wall dynamics under normal circumstances and in disease. Although we have learned a lot, the methods in use are subject to improvement. In this review, we discuss the most important achievements in non-invasive assessment of dynamic artery wall properties in humans with emphasis on the clinical relevance of the observations. Special attention will be paid to the changes observed in aging, and in essential and borderline hypertension, because the loss of compliance (i.e. the ability to store volume thereby reducing pressure increases during ejection) of the elastic arteries in the elderly and in these patients possibly has consequences on their management. The changes in dynamic artery wall properties in diabetes and atherosclerosis are briefly discussed as well. A new approach to the determination of baroreceptor sensitivity, using artery stretch as input, is presented. The review starts with a description of the parameters most commonly used to describe dynamic artery wall properties and of the techniques employed to assess these parameters. The problems encountered in these assessments and the possible solutions to these problems are addressed as well.
Sb2O3 anode buffer induced morphology improvement in small molecule organic solar cells (2011)

We report that a very thin n-type Sb2O3 anode buffer layer in copper phthalocyanine (CuPc)/fullerene (C60) organic solar cells (OSCs) increases the power conversion efficiency by a factor of ∼34%. The enhancement is mostly attributed to the preferred orientation of CuPc layer and the increased contact area of CuPc/C60 interface, induced by the Sb2O3 layer rather than commonly regarded energy level alignment achieved by other metal oxides such as MoO3. Our study provides an insight to understand effect of the metal oxide buffer layers on the morphological influence in organic solar cells.
5.—Qualitative Aspects of the Spatial Deformation of Non-linearly Elastic Rods. (1975)

In this article we examine the qualitative behaviour of non-planar equilibrium states ofnon-linearly elastic rods subject to terminal loads. In our geometrically exact theory, a rod is endowed with enough geometric structure for it to undergo flexure, torsion, axial extension, and shear. The constitutive equations give appropriate stress resultants and couples as non-linear functions of appropriate strains. These constitutive relations must meet minimal conditions ensuring that they be physically reasonable. It turns out that the equilibrium states of such a rod are governed by a boundary value problem for a quasilinear fifteenth-order system of ordinary differential equations.
Towards a REST-style architecture for networked vehicles and sensors (2010)

In this paper we report our research on the development of an open web-based architecture for controlling the behavior of systems composed of static sensors, mobile sensors and unmanned vehicles. We document the first implementation of the architecture and describe its application to our vehicles and sensors. We discuss the validation of this implementation in real-world deployments where one or more human operators interact with drifting sensors, unmanned vehicles and wireless sensor networks.
Lessons for Australia? Learning from England's Curriculum "Black Box". (2008)

While all comparisons are difficult, a consideration of the English national curriculum may offer some insights about the Australian version. In this paper, I suggest that there are some important similarities between the two approaches. I query the stated purposes of the Australian national curriculum and its adoption of a notion of equity which equates to the distribution of learning outputs. I argue that this distributive approach. fundamental to the English national curriculum, has been used as part of a quality management policy approach which demonises some schools and teachers deemed to be 'failing'. I suggest that the moves of Minister Gillard to endorse forms of league tables and testing indicate that a national curriculum in Australia might, as is the case in England, be a vehicle for other less attractive policy agendas.

A better understanding of independently important prognostic variables will result in improved patient care and treatment.
Multiple virtual machine live migration in federated cloud systems (2014)

The idea of computing utility incarnated by the cloud paradigm is gaining a lot of success, both for entertainment and business applications. The consequent increasing demand of computing, storage and communication resources within data centers is fostering new forms of infrastructure sharing such as cloud federations, which can take advantage of virtualization technologies and, in particular, of multiple virtual machine live migration techniques. Such a scenario requires a quantitative characterization of the performance of the inter-data center network infrastructure underlying the cloud federation. In this paper we propose an analytical model useful to dimension network capacity in order to achieve some given performance level in a federate cloud, assuming some simple multiple virtual machine live migration strategies.

These experimental techniques will extend the set of the modern experimental tools available to researchers investigating the physiology of lymphatic function.
Proton pump inhibitor use may not prevent high‐grade dysplasia and oesophageal adenocarcinoma in Barrett's oesophagus: a nationwide study of 9883 patients (2014)

No cancer-protective effects from PPI's were seen. In fact, high-adherence and long-term use of PPI were associated with a significantly increased risk of adenocarcinoma or high-grade dysplasia. This could partly be due to confounding by indication or a true negative effect from PPIs. Until the results from future studies hopefully can elucidate the association further, continuous PPI therapy should be directed at symptom control and additional modalities considered as aid or replacement.
FAKTOR-FAKTOR YANG MEMPENGARUHI PENGGUNAAN ALAT KONTRASEPSI PADA PASANGAN USIA SUBUR DI PUSKESMAS TANJUNG REJO KABUPATEN DELI SERDANG TAHUN 2020 (2020)

The Family Planning Program as a component of reproductive health aims to cultivate Happy and Prosperous Small Family Norms. The proportion of contraceptive use in Deli Serdang District has not met the target, as well as in the Tanjung Rejo Health Center working area is still lacking. This study aims to determine the factors that affect the use of contraceptives in fertile aged couples at the Tanjung Rejo Public Health Center, Deli Serdang District in 2020. This studi is an analytic observational with a cross sectional study approach. The population is all mothers of reproductive age couples who live in the working area of Tanjung Rejo Public Health Center, totaling 230 mothers. The number of samples used was 55 people obtained using simple random sampling technique. The data analysis technique used chi square.  The results obtained in this study were that most respondents used contraceptives (59.3%). There is a relationship between knowledge and occupation and the use of contraceptives in women (p 0.05). It is necessary to increase communication, information and education activities by health workers so that the knowledge of PUS about contraceptives is getting better
Sensitive Flutter Parameters Analysis with Respect to Flutter-free Design of Compressor Blade (2015)

As the mission requirements of the aero engine improve, the blade aerodynamic loading is higher, especially for lightweight designed blade. The possibility of the blade self-excited vibration increases, so flutter becomes one of the problems for fan and compressor design. However, there is no flutter related parametersin engineering as a reference for compressor flutter-free design until now. That is why the sensitive flutter parameters were studied which could suppress the flutter.
Urinary tract infection: diagnosis, treatment and prevention (2009)

Healthcare interventions can be episodic, and a target-based culture can lead to clinicians focusing on treating and discharging a person in a certain time frame to meet targets. When health care is delivered in pressurized acute environments, a holistic approach to a person's health may be lost. Urinary tract infection is the most common healthcare-acquired infection in the UK, and treatment in an acute setting may be episodic. This case study of an 85-year-old female with a urinary tract infection illustrates how viewing each episode of care in isolation can lead to sub-optimal care that does not address the underlying causes of problems. Drawing on the evidence regarding best practice in diagnosis, treatment and prevention of urinary tract infection, it shows how holistic evidence-based care can address underlying problems, reduce the risk of infection and adverse events, provide high quality care and deliver successful patient outcomes.
Monopole Spectrometer, a New Electric Field Mass Spectrometer (1963)

The monopole spectrometer uses an rf electric field between a two-electrode configuration for analyzing ions of different e/m. One electrode has a right-angle cross section, the other has a circular cross section whose center is located on the bisector of the right angle. The properties of the spectrometer are derived from an approximate equation for the ion motion. An instrument is described which achieves a sensitivity of 0.3 mA/mm Hg at m/Δm=190 with good peak shape, using an analyzing field of 27-cm length.
Solid-Phase-Epitaxial Growth in Ion-Implanted Silicon (1982)

The details of solid-phase-epitaxial (SPE) growth are obtained in ion-implanted silicon amorphous layers after furnace annealing in the temperature range 450 to 600°C. The kinetics of amorphous-crystalline interfaces and the nature of residual damage in SPE grown layers are studied by high-resolution, cross-section electron microscopy. The number density of dislocation loops in the dislocation bands below the amorphous layers in as-implanted specimens are found to decrease with decreasing substrate temperature and increasing mass of the incident ions. Substitutional concentrations of solutes in “defect-free” SPE grown layers are found to exceed retrograde solubility limits as much as a factor of 560 in Si–Bi system. Depending upon implantation conditions, the observed substitutional concentrations of antimony in silicon vary from (1.3 to 2.5) × 1021 cm−3 compared to retrograde solubility limit of 7.0 × 1019 cm−3. These observations are found to be in good agreement with the theoretical estimates of maximum concentrations. The solute concentrations in the excess of solubility limits can be precipitated out by heat treatments at relatively higher temperatures. Die Details des epitaktischen Festphasenwachstums (SPE) werden in amorphen ionenimplantierten Schichten nach Ofentemperung im Temperaturbereich von 450 bis 600°C untersucht. Die Kinetik der Grenzfläche amorph-kristallin und die Art des Reststrahlenschadens in SPE-Schichten werden mittels Hochauflösungs-Querschnittselektronenmikroskopie untersucht. Die Dichte der Versetzungsschleifen in den Versetzungsbändern unterhalb der amorphen Schichten in unbehandelten implantierten Proben nimmt mit abnehmender Substrattemperatur und zunehmender Masse der eingeschossenen Ionen ab. Die substitutionellen Konzentrationen der gelösten Species in „defektfreien”︁ SPE-Schichten übersteigen die rückläufigen Löslichkeitsgrenzen um einen Faktor von 560 im Si–Bi-System. In Abhängigkeit von den Implantationsbedingungen variieren die beobachteten Substitutionskonzentrationen von Antimon in Silizium von (1,3 bis 2.5) × 1021 cm−3 im Vergleich zur rückläufigen Löslichkeitsgrenze von 7,0 × 1019 cm−3. Es wird gefunden, daß diese Beobachtungen in guter Übereinstimmung mit theoretischen Berechnungen der Maximalkonzentrationen sind. Die Lösungskonzentrationen im Überschußbereich der Löslichkeitsgrenzen können bei Wärmebehandlungen bei relativ hohen Temperaturen ausfällen.
The notion of intuitionistic fuzzy IC-bags (2012)

Abstract. This paper presents an overview of the existing notions of Bags, Fuzzy Bags, IC-Bags, IF-Bags and Fuzzy IC-Bags. Based on these notions, the concept of Intuitionistic Fuzzy Bags with Interval Counts (Intuitionistic fuzzy IC-Bags) is proposed. Further, some characteristics of Intuitionistic fuzzy IC-Bags are studied, and some examples are furnished in this context.
Modeling Probabilistic Measurement Correlations for Problem Determination in Large-Scale Distributed Systems (2009)

With the growing complexity in computer systems, it has been a real challenge to detect and diagnose problems in today's large-scale distributed systems. Usually, the correlations between measurements collected across the distributed system contain rich information about the system behaviors, and thus a reasonable model to describe such correlations is crucially important in detecting and locating system problems. In this paper, we propose a transition probability model based on markov properties to characterize pair-wise measurement correlations. The proposed method can discover both the spatial (across system measurements) and temporal (across observation time) correlations, and thus such a model can successfully represent the system normal profiles. Problem determination and localization under this framework is fast and convenient. The framework is general enough to discover any types of correlations (e.g. linear or non-linear). Also, model updating, system problem detection and diagnosis can be conducted effectively and efficiently. Experimental results show that, the proposed method can detect the anomalous events and locate the problematic sources by analyzing the real monitoring data collected from three companies' infrastructures.

A benchmark suite for evaluating configurable computing systems—status, reflections, and future directions (2000)

This paper presents a benchmark suite for evaluating a configurable computing system's infrastructure, both tools and architecture. A novel aspect of this work is the use of stressmarks, benchmarks that focus on a specific characteristic or property of interest. This is in contrast to traditional approaches that utilize functional benchmarks, benchmarks that emphasize measuring end-to-end execution time. This suite can be used to assess a broad range of configurable computing systems, including single configurable devices, multiple configurable devices, and mixed architectures, such as fixed-plus-variable devices and hybrid systems. In addition, aspects that are particularly relevant to the domain of configurable computing, such as run-time reconfiguration and variable precision arithmetic, are considered. The paper provides an overview of the benchmark suite, presents some implementation results on an Annapolis Micro Systems WILDFORCE board, reflects on the benchmark suite developed, and briefly describes future work.
Design and performance of a three-wavelength LED-based total scatter and backscatter integrating nephelometer (2011)

Abstract. Integrating nephelometers are instruments that directly measure a value close to the light scattering coefficient of airborne particles. Different models of nephelometers have been used for decades for monitoring and research applications. Now, a series of nephelometers (Ecotech models M9003, Aurora 1000 and Aurora 3000) with newly designed light sources based on light emitting diodes are available. This article reports on the design of these integrating nephelometers and a comparison of the Aurora 3000 to another commercial instrument (TSI model 3563) that uses an incandescent lamp. Both instruments are three-wavelength, total and backscatter integrating nephelometers. We present a characterization of the new light source design of the Aurora 3000 and provide parameterizations for its angular sensitivity functions. These parameterizations facilitate to correct for measurement artefacts using Mie-theory. Furthermore, correction factors are provided as a function of the Ångström exponent. Comparison measurements against the TSI 3563 with laboratory generated white particles and ambient air are also shown and discussed. Both instruments agree well within the calibration uncertainties and detection limit for total scattering with differences less than 5 %. Differences for backscattering are higher by up to 11 %. Highest differences were found for the longest wavelengths, where the signal to noise ratio is lowest. Differences at the blue and green wavelengths are less than 4 % and 3 %, respectively, for both total and backscattering.
