Rearing the southern green stink bug using an artificial dry diet and an artificial plant (2000)

Laboratory and greenhouse studies were conducted with an artificial dry diet to rear nymphs, and with an artificial plant as substrate for egg laying by the southern green stink bug, Nezara viridula (L.). The artificial diet was composed of: soybean protein (15 g); potato starch (7.5 g); dextrose (7.5 g); sucrose (2.5 g); cellulose (12.5 g); vitamin mixture (niacinamide 1 g, calcium pantothenate 1 g, thiamine 0.25 g, riboflavin 0.5 g, pyridoxine 0.25 g, folic acid 0.25 g, biotin 0.02 mL, vitamin B12 1 g - added to 1,000 mL of distilled water) (5.0 mL); soybean oil (20 mL); wheat germ (17.9 g); and water (30 mL). Nymphs showed normal feeding behavior when fed on the artificial diet. Nymphal development time was longer than or similar to that of nymphs fed on soybean pods. Total nymphal mortality was low (ca. 30%), both for nymphs reared on the artificial diet, and for nymphs fed on soybean pods. At adult emergence, fresh body weights were significantly (P<0.01) less on the artificial diet than on soybean pods. Despite the lower adult survivorship and fecundity on artificial plants than on soybean plants, it was demonstrated for the first time that a model simulating a natural plant, can be used as a substrate for egg mass laying, in conjunction with the artificial diet.
The economics of waste water--Aquaculture systems (1975)

Due to recent environmental legislation and growing scarcities of popular seafoods, there is considerable interest in innovative systems that can strip nutrients biologically from waste water and produce potentially useful materials. While many variations of such systems exist, the systems described here are based on the secondary sewage-marine aquaculture system developed at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution with an option of using thermal effluent as a heat source. The design, performance and resulting costs of operational systems for commercial production scaled up by factors of ten, 100 and 1,000 are projected and compared. The largest of these systems would be able to handle the waste water from a city of 100,000 people. Despite uncertainties in the systems, our analysis shows that large-scale systems using sewage as a nutrient source and free heat from power plant effluent (or located in a warm climate) could be profitable.
An intensity modulation based high-speed and high-resolution long-period fiber grating sensor interrogating system (2006)

A fast responding interrogation system based on intensity modulation using fiber Bragg gratings (FBG) has been developed to interrogate long period fiber grating (LPFG) sensor. Temperature and dynamic strain monitoring using this system have been successfully demonstrated. The performance of long period fiber grating (LPFG) sensors written in single cladding (SC) and double cladding (DC) fibers have been compared. This system is capable of resolving strain to 0.2με and 0.4με at a loading frequency of 20 Hz, and temperature resolution to 0.02°C and 0.19°C, by using LPFG in the single cladding (SC-LPFG) and double cladding (DC-LPFG) respectively.
Diffusion mechanism of direct dyes into a cellulose membrane: The structural effect of direct dyes on the adsorption rate (1989)

Abstract The transport of three typical direct dyes, C.I. Direct Yellow 12, C.I. Direct Red 2, and C. I. Direct Blue 15, into a cellulose membrane has been studied at 55°C. Sodium chloride was used as a stimulator for dyeing. The effects of the concentration of the stimulator on the adsorption isotherms, the adsorption rate, and the concentration profiles in the membrane were tested. The experimental adsorption rates of three dyes were quite different. The diffusion mechanism of the dyes into a cellulose membrane was analyzed on the basis of the parallel transport equation of surface and pore diffusion as developed in our previous paper. The experimental uptake curves showed good agreement with the theoretical curves for surface diffusion control. Experimental concentration profiles also agreed reasonably well with the theoretical lines for surface diffusion control rather than pore diffusion control. The surface diffusivities of three dyes were quite different and nearly independent of the adsorbed phase concentration of the dye.
Study on Ultrathin Tapes of 50%Fe-Ni Alloys (2nd Report). The Rolling and Recrystallization Texture of the Ultrathin Tapes (1958)

In the present experiments the cause of the inferiority of magnetic property of ultrathin tapes of the thickness up to 0.01 mm of 50%Fe-Ni alloy was investigated. It was found that the decrease in rectangularity of the hysteresis loop and the increase in coercive force for ultrathin tapes are closely connected with the inferiority of the preferred orientation (001)〈100〉, and in the same cold rolling degree the sharpness of texture decreases with the reduction of thickness.
Noise adaptive matrix edge field analysis of small sized heterogeneous onion layered textures for characterizing human embryonic stem cell nuclei (2009)

We present a methodology for characterizing small size heterogeneous textures that are hard to analyze in general due to the paucity of pixels and textural heterogeneity. The methodology overcomes the limitation for a large class of heterogeneous textures that exhibit onion layer type textural variation, where we may assume that within a layer the behavior is homogeneous, but may vary from layer to layer. The shape of the onion layers is data dependent; radial symmetry is not required. We use an energy functional approach for simultaneous smoothing and segmentation that relies on two key innovations: a matrix edge field, and adaptive weighting of the measurements relative to the smoothing process model. The matrix edge function adaptively and implicitly modulates the shape, size, and orientation of smoothing neighborhoods over different regions of the texture. It thus provides directional information on the texture that is not available in the more conventional scalar edge field based approaches. The adaptive measurement weighting varies the weighting between the measurements at each pixel. Image based analysis of human embryonic stem cells is the motivating application for this new approach, and we show how the features extracted using this approach can be used to automate the classification of pluripotent vs. differentiated stem cell nuclei based on confocal images of fluorescent GFP-labeled chromatin.
Effect of Lactobacillus reuteri on Intestinal Resistance to Cryptosporidium parvum Infection in a Murine Model of Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (1997)

Efficacy of Lactobacillus reuteri as a probiotic for the control of Cryptosporidium parvum infection was evaluated in C57BL/6 female mice that were immunosuppressed by intraperitoneal inoculation with the LP-BM5 leukemia virus. Four months after inoculation, mice developed lymphadenopathy, splenomegaly, and susceptibility to C. parvum infection. After daily prefeeding with L. reuteri (10(8) cfu/day) for 10 days, mice were challenged with 6.5 x 10(6) C. parvum oocysts and fed L. reuteri during the entire study. Mice supplemented with L. reuteri and challenged with C. parvum cleared parasite loads from the gut epithelium. However, unsupplemented animals developed persistent cryptosporidiosis and shed high levels of oocysts in the feces. L. reuteri feeding increased its colonization of the intestinal tract, which was inversely related to the fecal shedding of oocysts. These findings suggest that L. reuteri may help prevent C. parvum infection in immunodeficient subjects.
Distributed sensor fault detection and isolation for multimachine power systems (2014)

SUMMARY This paper presents a distributed sensor fault detection and isolation (FDI) scheme for multimachine power systems. Each generator is interconnected with other generators through a transmission network, where the interactions between directly interconnected generators are nonlinear. In the distributed FDI scheme, a local FDI component is designed for each generator excitation system in the power system based on local measurements and certain communicated information from other FDI components associated with generators that are directly interconnected to the local generator. In each FDI component, adaptive thresholds for distributed FDI are derived, ensuring robustness with respect to nonlinear interconnection and unstructured modeling uncertainty under certain conditions. Furthermore, the fault detectability and isolability properties are investigated, characterizing the class of sensor faults that are detectable and isolable by the distributed FDI method. In addition, the stability and learning capability of the local adaptive fault isolation estimators designed for each generator is derived. A simulation example of a two‐machine power system is used to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed method. Copyright © 2014 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
Enantiomeric separation of several cyclic imides on a macrocyclic antibiotic (vancomycin) chiral stationary phase under normal and reversed phase conditions (1998)

Several cyclic imidic compounds (barbiturates, piperidine-2,6-diones, and mephenytoin) are enantiomerically resolved via high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) on a macrocyclic antibiotic covalently bonded to a silica gel support. The Chirobiotic V chiral stationary phase (CSP) column contains the antibiotic vancomycin as the chiral selector. The results of the analysis show that the substituents at the chiral carbon position of the racemic drugs affect chiral resolution. In addition, ring size may also play a role when considering the formation of analyte-CSP inclusion complexes. Contrary to the piperidine-2,6-diones, the chromatographic parameters for the barbiturates are much the same under normal- or reversed-phase conditions. The details of these results are discussed.

The effects of cyclical oestrogen on bladder and urethral structure and function (2006)

Cyclical oestrogen had pronounced structural and pharmacological effects. Low oestrogen decreased the volume fraction of SM, increased collagen, and decreased vasculature, whereas oestrogen mediated a marked hypertrophy of the SM components, decreased the collagen component, and stimulated angiogenesis. Cyclical oestrogen also had marked effects on the responses to intra-arterial acetylcholine, shifting the response from contraction to relaxation.
Inhibition of 5-Oxoprolinase by 2-Imidazolidone-4-Carboxylic Acid (1973)

L-2-Imidazolidone-4-carboxylic acid is an effective competitive inhibitor of the reaction catalyzed by 5-oxoprolinase, in which 5-oxo-L-proline (L-pyroglutamic acid, L-2-pyrrolidone-5-carboxylic acid, L-5-oxopyrrolidine-2-carboxylic acid) is converted to L-glutamate, with concomitant cleavage of ATP to ADP and orthophosphate. L-2-Imidazolidone-4-carboxylate decreased the rate of metabolism of 5-oxo-L-[(14)C]proline to (14)CO(2) by rat-kidney slices but had no effect on the metabolism of [(14)C]glutamate. Mice injected with L-2-imidazolidone-4-carboxylate exhibited greatly reduced ability to metabolize 5-oxo-L-proline, but metabolized glutamate at an essentially normal rate. The findings provide an approach to an animal model for the human condition 5-oxoprolinuria, in which there is apparently a deficiency of renal 5-oxoprolinase activity. The evidence indicates that 5-oxoproline is a normal metabolite.
Analyzing 13NN lung washout curves in the presence of intraregional nonuniformities (1994)

The use of 13NN and positron imaging provides a powerful noninvasive means of assessing regional pulmonary function. Current techniques for analyzing lung washout curves, however, are subject to error due to intraregional nonuniformities, particularly in the presence of areas with very long time constants or gas trapping. This paper presents a simple "hybrid" method for analyzing 13NN-washout studies that addresses the problems of regions of air trapping and long time constants within a region of interest. This method assumes an exponential washout form for the slow regions, estimates their fractional volume, and subtracts their contribution from the overall washout curve. The modified Stewart-Hamilton method is then applied to the remaining washout curve to calculate its ventilation. The over-all specific ventilation of the region is calculated as the volume-weighted average of the specific ventilations of the two compartments. The performance of the hybrid method is compared with other currently used correction techniques by using a simulated two-compartment lung washout in which there is a variable amount of gas trapping. The analysis techniques are also applied to washout data with intraregional nonuniformities obtained during experimentally created unilateral bronchial obstruction. This new approach has the advantages of automatically correcting for washout truncation, estimating the relative size of the trapped or slow region while eliminating its bias on the regional ventilation, and yet retaining the unrestricted and robust nature of the Stewart-Hamilton method in the analysis of the well-ventilated regions.
Magnetic Properties of Sm-Co and Sm-Co/M (M=Co, Fe) Exchange-Spring Films. (1997)

The structure and magnetic properties of Sm-Co films and Sm-Co/M (M=Co, Fe) multilayered films prepared by rf sputtering were investigated. The results show that a hard magnetic phase as Sm2Co17 and SmCo5 phase and a soft magnetic phase were formed by annealing Sm-Co and Sm-Co/M films. Sm16Co84 film annealed for 1.8 ks at 773 K had the springback ratio of [Mr-M(H)]/[Mr-M(H)]=0.72. This film was found to behave as a exchange-spring magnet composed of a hard magnetic phase and a soft magnetic phase. Sm16Co84/Fe multilayered film was also found to be a exchange-spring magnet.

Mirrors with point-spread functions that exhibit wavelet-related characteristics (1995)

Mirrors with amplitude point-spread functions that exhibit wavelet-related characteristics are profiled by the method of stationary points and the method of Fresnel zones. The unknown optical path function phi(r) of the diffraction integral is reconstructed from its stationary points, which are identif ied from locations where the pupil function of the optical system is an extremum. The phi(r) that describes the paths taken by the light from the point source to the observation plane via the ref lecting surface is used as a constraint in the procedure. In particular, circular distributions of the Mexican-hat wavelet and the Fourier transform of the Haar wavelet are considered for the point-spread functions.

A Study on Dual Microstrip Electrode for Push-Pull Operation of the Polymeric Mach-Zehnder Optical Modulators (1999)

In this paper we proposed a novel dual microstrip electrode for push-pull operation of Mach-Zehnder(MZ) optical modulator based on electro-optic polymer. The push-pull operation may improve the bandwidth width or driving voltage of the MZ modulators. The finite element method was used to find the impedance and velocity matching condition and calculate the overlap integral of the dual microstrip electrode. The results of simulation show that the velocity matching condition can be easily achieved independent of electrode structure but there are some trade-offs between impedance matching and overlap integral. The designed electrode was fabricated on glass substrate using conventional photolithography and electroplating and then measured its microwave characteristics using a network analyzer. The return loss was less than 𔃄.5㏈ up to 20㎓ and propagation loss 0.71㏈/(㎝). From the results of both simulation and measurement dual microstrip electrode makes it possible to improve the properties of MZ type optical modulators with simple fabrication process.

A CMOS 6 b 500 MSample/s ADC for a hard disk drive read channel (2003)

High-speed A/D converters (ADCs) are essential for improving the transfer rate of hard disk drives. This CMOS 6 b 500 MSample/s full-flash ADC for a read channel has 5.5 effective number of bits (ENOB) for a 125 MHz input signal (which is one quarter of the sampling rate). The ADC occupies 2.4 mm/sup 2/ and power consumption is 400 mW for a 3.3 V supply. 0.4 /spl mu/m CMOS technology is used.
Structure of Sodium Rydberg States in Weak to Strong Electric Fields (1976)

We present results of an experimental survey of the $n=15$ state of Na in electric fields from 0 to 4 kV/cm. Both linear and higher-order Stark effects play important roles. States with low $|m|$ show marked differences from hydrogenic behavior, particularly in the vicinity of level crossings. Computed values for the energy levels are in good agreement with the data. The experimental method provides a simple technique for populating selected Stark or angular momentum levels of a Rydberg state.
Characterization of the Cardiovascular Activities of a New Cardiotonic Agent, MDL 17043 (1,3-Dihydro-4-methyl-5-[4-(methylthio)-benzoyl]-2H-imidazol-2-one) (1982)

The cardiovascular actions of 1,3-dihydro-4-methyl-5[4-(methylthio)-benzoyl]-2H-imidazol-2-one (MDL 17043), a new noncatecholamine, nonglycoside cardiotonic agent, were examined in vivo in anesthetized dogs and in vitro in isolated cat atrial and papillary muscle preparations and guinea pig atria. In the anesthetized dog, intravenous administration of MDL 17043 (0.1--1 mg/kg) produced marked increases in cardiac contractile force which were accompanied by minor increases in heart rate and small decreases in blood pressure. These effects were not altered by alpha- or beta-adrenergic receptor blockade, catecholamine depletion produced by reserpine, bilateral vagotomy, or by bilateral carotid sinus denervation. MDL 17043 (10(-5)--10(-3) M) produced positive inotropic effects in isolated papillary muscle and left atrial strips of the cat that were much greater than the positive chronotropic effects seen in the spontaneously beating right atrium of the cat. The in vitro inotropic effects of MDL 17043 in guinea pig electrically driven left atrial strips were not modified by adrenergic beta-receptor or histamine H1-receptor blockade. The vasodilatory effect of MDL 17043 in the canine isolated pump-perfused hindlimb preparation was not attenuated by surgical sympathectomy, alpha- or beta-adrenergic receptor blockade, cholinergic or histaminergic receptor blockade, or by prostaglandin synthesis inhibition, indicating that MDL 17043 produces direct relaxation of vascular smooth muscle. MDL 17043 was found to be safe and effective when administered acutely in combination with ouabain, hydralazine, nitroglycerin, or furosemide, agents commonly used in the treatment of congestive heart failure.
The Question of God in Heidegger's Phenomenology (1990)

Several philosophers have developed theological perspectives out of Heidegger's ontology. Yet the question of God in Heidegger's thought itself has never received full elucidation. In this revealing new study, George Kovacs poses the problem of analyzing the idea of God as a process of questioning and thus subjects Heidegger's phenomenological existentialism to a process of exposition Heidegger himself employed.
High Resolution Infrared Spectroscopy by Pb<SUB>1-x</SUB> Sn<SUB>x</SUB> Te Diode Lasers (1981)

Feasibility of Pb1-x Snx Te diode lasers to a high resolution spectroscopy was examined. The laser diode was cooled by liquid helium. Laser emission frequencies were tuned by varying the diode current. A threshold current for cw oscillation by liquid helium cooling was one third or less of that by liquid nitrogen cooling. The lasers oscillated in a few longitudinal modes simultaneously, so a 25cm grating monochromator was used as a mode selection filter. The laser emission from 580cm-1 to 1450cm-1 was obtained by changing x=0.14-0.22. Some absorption spectra of NH3, SF6 and CF4, and a gain spectrum of a cw CO2 laser was observed. Spectral resolution of the experimental equipment was 8×10-4cm-1, and it was confirmed that the resolution is mainly limited by the diode driving current.
