Bioregionalism and Global Ethics: A Transactional Approach to Achieving Ecological Sustainability, Social Justice, and Human Well-being (2011)

Richard Evanoff's Bioregionalism and Global Ethics achieves two main tasks. First, it provides a comprehensive review of the various arguments involved in the movement to establish an ecologically based global ethic. Second, it proposes a model for creating a society that can provide the core values of promoting ecological sustainability, achieving social justice, and maximizing human well-being. Evanoff's vision is based on a transactional approach that views humans as “both constituting and being constituted by the natural environments they inhabit” (99). This approach considers the welfare of humans and nature to be joined in a dialectical—rather than dualistic or oppositional—interplay between humans, culture, and nature. Writing from a background in environmental philosophy, Evanoff's extensive coverage of the philosophical, economic, sociological, and anthropological aspects of the debates on environmental ethics provides a helpful update or introduction for readers whose studies are normally more focused on literary concerns. With its clearly defined chapter topics and logical development, the book is also a valuable teaching resource. Its sixteen chapters cover topics such as the history of bioregionalism and bioregional ethics, bioregionalism vs. the dominant development paradigm, anthropocentrism and ecocentrism, communicative ethics, the land ethic, ecological sustainability, environmental justice, biocultural diversity, local economies, and the transition to a bioregional world order. Its extensive, well-organized bibliography also makes it a handy reference source. Despite the danger in such a comprehensive work of burying the author's voice beneath the weight of all the arguments being reviewed, Evanoff balances his account with the steady advancement of his own model, thus keeping the narrative fresh.
METHODS TO ESTIMATE DYNAMIC INTERACTION SYSTEM FOR A BUILDING OF THERMAL POWER PLANT SUPPORTED ON PILES (1997)

The buildings of a thermal power plant are generally supported by a large number of piles. When conducting a dynamic analysis of such buildings, the dynamic interaction system of a pile groupshould be evaluated. In this paper, the interaction system is proposed for the responses of the thermal power plant buildings subjected to earthquake excitation. The system is based on the simplified methods currently proposed by the authors, for the impedances of a pile group. The results of the analysis show that the interaction system is practical for the dynamic analysis of a building supported on a large number of piles.
A round-robin architecture for relaxation operation (2005)

Relaxation method attracts attention as an effective method in image processing and pattern recognition. From the first, the relaxation operation has been said to be capable of parallel processing. But previous hardware implementations were specialized to each application. This paper presents a parallel architecture of a relaxation processor which can be applied to general use.
Management of Kikuchi’s disease using glucocorticoid (2000)

Histiocytic necrotizing lymphadenitis, or Kikuchi's disease, is a self-limiting cervical lymphadenitis of unknown origin. Since no specific treatment has been reported for Kikuchi's disease to date, once a diagnosis of Kikuchi's disease has been established, the role of the physician has been limited only to treating the symptoms. Sometimes, however, the clinical manifestations of the disease can be very distressing for the patients. Thus, a more aggressive form of treatment may be required for the patients who suffer from severe and persisting symptoms and recurrence. We present three cases of Kikuchi's disease that benefited significantly from systemic administration of prednisone.
Relationship between a novel human cytotoxin (factor 2) produced by a B cell line (Karpas 160) and phorbol-myristateacetate-associated cytotoxicity (1992)

We found that 160b cells, a subclone of Karpas 160 human B cell line, spontaneously secreted a novel cytotoxin, factor 2 (F2). F2 was also extracted from the cells by 60% ammonium sulphate, 0.5% CHAPS and 0.28% Triton X-114. We were able to show that phorbol myristate acetate (PMA) greatly enhanced the production of F2, and PMA may also account for part of the putative F2 cytotoxic activity to K562 cells in crude preparations. We compared the cytotoxic effect of F2 with PMA-associated F2-like cytotoxicity to K562 cells as well as the adequacy of our schemes to purified F2 with regard to its separation from PMA. We found that it was possible to separate PMA from F2 preparations by gel filtration and Rotofor preparative isoelectric focusing. The fate of PMA was also monitored with 3H-PMA and chromatographic profiles of 3H-PMA were studied using DE52 and gel filtration chromatography. We were able to establish that less than 2.9% of the cytotoxicity to K562 was due to PMA. We also found that the radioactive peaks and cytotoxicity peaks to K562 were not well correlated, indicating that the cytotoxicity was not mainly due to remaining PMA. Activated charcoal removed virtually all F2 and PMA but not tumour necrosis factor activity. Our results also showed that cytotoxicity to K562 resulting from F2 or PMA-associated proteins had different physicochemical properties, indicating that they are different molecular entities. These findings are consistent with the earlier observation that 160 cells produce F2 spontaneously and that PMA can amplify its production significantly.
Retroviral Vector-Mediated Gene Expression in Human CD34+CD38- Cells Expanded in Vitro: Cis Elements of FMEV Are Superior to Those of Mo-MuLV (2000)

A novel murine stromal cell line, HESS-M28, was established, which supports the expansion of human CD34+CD38- cells more than 300-fold in vitro in the presence of human IL-3 and SCF. These cells were used in an attempt to evaluate cis-acting elements of retroviral vectors in human primitive hematopoietic cells. Cord blood cells were cultured on top of the mixed cell layers of the stromal cell line, HESS-M28, and retroviral vector-producing cells. The FMEV-type vector SF/Lyt contained the spleen focus-forming virus U3 and the MESV primer-binding site (PBS), while MO3/Lyt contained the U3 region and PBS from Mo-MuLV. After transduction by the FMEV-type and Mo-MuLV-based vectors, expression of the marker gene murine CD8 (mCD8) was examined in CD34-, CD34+, and CD34+CD38- cells. In CD34+ and CD34+CD38- cells, expression of mCD8 was higher with the FMEV-type vector, SF/Lyt, compared with the cells transduced by the Mo-MuLV-based vector MO3/Lyt, although the expression was comparable in CD34- cells. Expression of marker genes was also confirmed in long-term culture-initiating cells (LTC-ICs) and SCID-repopulating cells (SRCs).

Service-Composition (2005)

This chapter provides an overview of the area of service composition. It does so by introducing a generic architecture for service composition and using this architecture to discuss some salient concepts and techniques. The architecture is also used as a framework for providing a critical view into a number of languages, standardization efforts, and tools related to service composition emanating both from academia and industry and to classify them in terms of the concepts and techniques that they incorporate or support (for example, orchestration and dynamic service selection). Finally, the chapter discusses some trends in service-oriented software systems engineering pertaining to service composition.
Real-time in situ electronic monitoring of dynamic contact behavior of MEMS high-g switches (2012)

This paper presents for the first time real-time contact monitoring of packaged high-g switches under acceleration loads up to 50,000 g. Such loads are typical in impact and pyroshock phenomena such as multistage rocket launches and earth penetrating weapons. Contact monitoring is performed using a fully electronic methodology utilizing an ultra low-power (<;60 μW) CMOS interface that is directly integrated to the MEMS chip and accurately senses the capacitance change around the contact region at a sampling rate greater than 500 kHz. Experimental and modeling results agree to within 5% for the switch closing time under high-g condition, confirming the validity of the measurement technique.
Medical Emergencies (2013)

The vast majority of medical emergencies in the dental office can be avoided by a good history and physical assessment and appropriate preoperative preventative measures. The medical complexity of the patient, the equipment available for management of the medical problem, and the actual management are all based upon the individual practitioner's specific education, training, and scope of practice. This chapter presents a meaningful synopsis of the management of the most common medical emergencies in the dental setting. The use of algorithms is meant to provide an ordered, simple, step-by-step sequence for the management of these problems in a manner that provides clarity and priority in times of stress for both the patient and the practitioner. The chapter discusses syncope, respiratory difficulty, cardiac and vascular emergencies, epilepsy, diabetic emergencies, and allergic reactions. It also discusses some miscellaneous emergencies such as emesis, bleeding, and shock.
In vivo Study of the Absorption of Seaweed Minerals by Perfused Rat Intestine (1996)

The intestinal absorption of seaweed minerals (Ca, Zn, Fe) was compared with their inorganic salts, in vivo, using a perfused intestinal loop in the rat. A similar uptake of Ca from both sources was observed (19.1±21.0 vs 9.9±14.7 μmol/cm/min, NS), (mean±1 SD), as for Zn (38.8±26.5 vs 47.4±35.0 μmol/cm/min, NS) seaweed Fe absorption was lower than gluconate Fe (26.4±27.7 vs 76.8±7.6 nmol/cm/min, p<0.001). The overall intestinal uptake of these minerals could be explained by their biological form.
Enterprise JavaBeans 3.0 (5th Edition) (2006)

If you're up on the latest Java technologies, then you know that Enterprise JavaBeans (EJB) 3.0 is the hottest news in Java this year. In fact, EJB 3.0 is being hailed as the new standard of server-side business logic programming. And O'Reilly's award-winning book on EJB has been refreshed just in time to capitalize on the technology's latest rise in popularity.This fifth edition, written by Bill Burke and Richard Monson-Haefel, has been updated to capture the very latest need-to-know Java technologies in the same award-winning fashion that drove the success of the previous four strong-selling editions. Bill Burke, Chief Architect at JBoss, Inc., represents the company on the EJB 3.0 and Java EE 5 specification committees. Richard Monson-Haefel is one of the world's leading experts on Enterprise Java.Enterprise JavaBeans 3.0, 5th Edition is organized into two parts: the technical manuscript followed by the JBoss workbook. The technical manuscript explains what EJB is, how it works, and when to use it. The JBoss workbook provides step-by-step instructions for installing, configuring, and running the examples from the manuscript on the JBoss 4.0 Application Server.Although EJB makes application development much simpler, it's still a complex and ambitious technology that requires a great deal of time to study and master. But now, thanks to Enterprise JavaBeans 3.0, 5th Edition, you can overcome the complexities of EJBs and learn from hundreds of practical examples that are large enough to test key concepts but small enough to be taken apart and explained in the detail that you need. Now you can harness the complexity of EJB with just a single resource by your side.
Performance Comparison of IP and CCN as a Communication Infrastructure for Smart Grid (2015)

The infrastructure for smart grid is classified into three categories: infrastructure for electric power generation, delivery, and consumption, infrastructure for information measurement, surveillance, and management, and infrastructure for information communication. In this paper, we derive the total amount of traffic in the network, average end-to-end communication delay, and availability when using IP and CCN (Content-Centric Networking) as the communication infrastructure for a smart grid, respectively. Through several numerical examples, we clarify under what conditions either IP or CCN is suitable for the communication infrastructure of a smart grid. We found that, in terms of the total amount of traffic and the average end-to-end communication delay, CCN is effective compared with IP except when cache hit rates in RGCC (Remote Grid Control Center) and LGCC (Local Grid Control Center) are very low. We also found that, in terms of availability, the performance advantage of CCN over IP is marginal.
Multiantenna Cellular Communications : Channel Estimation, Feedback, and Resource Allocation (2011)

The use of multiple antennas at base stations and user devices is a key component in the design of cellular communication systems that can meet the capacity demands of tomorrow. The downlink transmission from base stations to users is particularly limiting, both from a theoretical and a practical perspective, since user devices should be simple and power-efficient, and because many applications primarily create downlink traffic (e.g., video streaming). The potential gain of employing multiple antennas for downlink transmission is well recognized: the total data throughput increases linearly with the number of transmit antennas if the spatial dimension is exploited for simultaneous transmission to multiple users. In the design of practical cellular systems, the actual benefit of multiuser multiantenna transmission is limited by a variety of factors, including acquisition and accuracy of channel information, transmit power, channel conditions, cell density, user mobility, computational complexity, and the level of cooperation between base stations in the transmission design. The thesis considers three main components of downlink communications: 1) estimation of current channel conditions using training signaling; 2) efficient feedback of channel estimates; and 3) allocation of transmit resources (e.g., power, time and spatial dimensions) to users. In each area, the thesis seeks to provide a greater understanding of the interplay between different system properties. This is achieved by generalizing the underlying assumptions in prior work and providing both extensions of previous outcomes and entirely new mathematical results, along with supporting numerical examples. Some of the main thesis contributions can be summarized as follows. A framework is proposed for estimation of different channel quantities using a common optimized training sequence. Furthermore, it is proved that each user should only be allocated one data stream and utilize its antennas for receive combining and interference rejection, instead of using the antennas for reception of multiple data streams. This fundamental result is proved under both exact channel acquisition and under imperfections from channel estimation and limited feedback. This also has positive implications on the hardware and system design. Next, a general mathematical model is proposed for joint analysis of cellular systems with different levels of base station cooperation. The optimal multicell resource allocation can in general only be found with exponential computational complexity, but a systematic algorithm is proposed to find the optimal solution for the purpose of offline benchmarking. A parametrization of the optimal solution is also derived, creating a foundation for heuristic low-complexity algorithms that can provide close-to-optimal performance. This is exemplified by proposing centralized and distributed multicell transmission strategies and by evaluating these using multicell channel measurements.

A Comparison of Multiple and Single Sleep Latency and Cerebral Evoked Potential (P300) Measures in the Assessment of Excessive Daytime Sleepiness in Narcolepsy-Cataplexy (1988)

A direct comparison was made between the amplitude of evoked potential (EP) component P3 (by the P300 paradigm), a known sensitive EP correlate of sleepiness, and sleep latency measures (both to stage 1 or rapid eye movement [REM] and to stage 2 or REM) of the Multiple Sleep Latency Test (MSLT) in 11 untreated narcoleptics and matched controls. Repeated P3 measures were performed immediately prior to standard MSLT naps at 10:00 a.m., 12:00 noon, 2:00 p.m., 4:00 p.m., and 6:00 p.m. Using discriminant analysis and F tests, all three measures (P3 and both by MSLT) were found to distinguish the two groups for collapsed five-nap data, and all showed essentially parallel circadian time-of-day effects, with greatest sleepiness in the midafternoon. The MSLT, however, was somewhat more powerful for collapsed data. Both tests misclassified some subjects as belonging to the other group, with greater misclassification for both tests in the control group and more overall for the P3 measure. Adding the two sleep onset REM period (SOREMP) criteria on MSLT for narcolepsy, one patient was still classified as normal. Analysis of data from individual naps indicated that the MSLT was considerably more powerful in discriminating groups than was P3 amplitude, and it did so for all five naps.
Challenges in Service Value Network Composition (2012)

The e 3 service ontology proposes a framework for semi-automatically composing such a network. This paper addresses research challenges in service value network composition. As a demonstration of the state of the art, the e 3 service ontology is used. The challenges are explained using an example of an Internet service provider
Rapid Harvest of Algae for Biofuel Production with the Aggregating Bacterium Bacillus sp. strain RP1137. (2014)

Algal biofuels represent one of the most promising means of sustainably replacing liquid fuels. However significant challenges remain before algal based fuels become competitive with fossil fuels. One of the largest challenges is the ability to harvest the algae in an economic and low energy manner. In this dissertation I describe the isolation of the bacterium, Bacillus sp. strain RP1137, which can rapidly aggregate several algae that are candidates for biofuel production. This bacterium aggregates algae in a pH dependent and reversible manner and retains its aggregation ability after paraformaldehyde fixation. The optimal ratio of bacteria to algae is described as well as the robustness of aggregation at different salinities and temperatures. Aggregation is dependent on the presence of calcium or magnesium ions and likely occurs via charge neutralization through binding of calcium ions to the cell surface of both algae and bacteria. I show charge neutralization occurs at least in part through binding of calcium to negatively charged teichoic acid residues. A comparison of the aggregation efficiency of RP1137, Bacillus megaterium QM B1551 and Bacillus subtilis SMY showed that RP1137 and B1551 are equally efficient at aggregating algae while SMY does not aggregate algae. The genome of RP1137 was sequenced to understand the molecular underpinning of the mechanism of aggregation. The difference in aggregation phenotypes between the three bacilli was used to inform a genomic comparison which revealed two putative proteins that are predicted to be bound to the cell wall and are found only in RP1137 and B1551 but not SMY. This work characterizes the conditions under which Bacillus sp. RP1137 aggregates algae and the mechanism by which that aggregation occurs.
