Newer applications of serum prostate-specific antigen in the management of prostate cancer. (1994)

The information contained in this article indicates that PSA will have an increasing role in the management of prostate cancer. For example, it is now essential for optimal diagnosis if prostate cancer detection is the goal. Prospects are high that more information about PSA density relationships, PSA velocity phenomenologies, and possible PSA isoforms will increase diagnostic accuracy. It would also seem that PSA will improve staging accuracy not only by better manipulation of multiple preoperative parameters (eg, cancer grade, volume, PSA, etc) but possibly by the molecular detection of minute amounts of occult prostate cancer cells in bone, blood or lymph nodes, or by improved use of immune scanning. Finally, the use of these more sophisticated staging approaches together with increasingly sensitive PSA assays and possibly androgen provocative testing might allow the prospect that the potentially curative therapies can be almost immediately assessed for efficacy, thereby increasing prospects for therapeutic progress. Finally, PSA may become even more important for manipulating hormone therapies (eg, IAS therapy) or it could form a basis for new treatments such as immune or gene therapy.
Feasibility of an Electrostatic Energy Harvesting Device for CFCs Aircraft (2015)

A novel energy harvesting concept is proposed for treating local electrostatic energy produced on flying composite\naircrafts. This work focuses on the feasibility research on collecting static charges with capacitive collectors. The\nexisting energy harvesting system and the electrification of the typical carbon fibre composites (CFCs) aircraft has\nbeen reviewed. The detailed model experiments were then designed to characterize different configurations for\nelectrostatic energy harvesting on aeroplane. In the lab, the static charge was produced by a corona discharging\ndevice, and a capacitor or a metal sheet was put in the electric field to collect the charges under four different\nconfigurations. After that, the rest results for these configurations were analysed, which is followed by the\ndiscussion about the results application on the aircraft. This work has proved that it is feasible to collect the local\nstatic electricity on flying aircraft, and it could provide a new direction of energy harvesting system in aviation field.
Supporting Emerging Applications With Low-Latency Failover in P4 (2018)

Emerging applications expect fast turn-around from in-network failover mechanisms. This paper starts exploring the design space for supporting high availability and low latency using fast reroute in programmable data planes. In particular, we present a primitive for supporting well-known fast reroute mechanisms that is both efficient in terms of packet processing latency, memory requirements, and switch throughput.
[Acid glycosidases in leukocytes of patients with chronic and acute myeloid leukemias]. (1986)

Activities of five acid glycosidases were examined in leukocytes of 30 healthy persons, 17 patients with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) and 7 patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML). In leukocytes of the patients with CML activities of alpha-D-mannosidase, N-acetyl-beta-D-hexosaminidase and beta-D-glucurodase were significantly higher (p less than 0.01) and those of alpha-D-galactosidase and alpha-D-glucosidase were somewhat higher (p less than 0.05) as compared with control leukocytes. Activities of all five glycosidases in leukocytes of patients with AML were within the normal limits. Glycosidase activities were also examined in leukocytes of three groups of patients with CML at different stages of the disease: chronic, progressive and blast crisis. All the enrymes exhibited the highest activity in the first group of patients; the activities of these enxymes in the second group were lower and those in the third group were close to normal. When CML leukocytes were fractionated using the Ficoll-verografin method, the activities of the enzymes in the interface fraction (unmatured cells) were higher than those in the bottom fraction (matured granulyocytes). These data suggest that the increased glycosidase activity in CML cells is due to the presence of the population of unmatured granulocytes which are distinct from blast cells.
Fracture of the metal tibial tray after Kinematic total knee replacement. A common cause of early aseptic failure. (1996)

We reviewed 1567 elective knee replacements performed between 1980 and 1990, using either the Total Condylar prosthesis with an all-plastic tibial component, or the Kinematic prosthesis which has a metal tibial tray. The ten-year probability of survival was 92.1% for the Total Condylar design and 87.9% for the Kinematic. The difference was mainly due to 16 revisions required in the Kinematic series for fracture of the metal base-plate. This was the most common cause of aseptic failure in this group. These fractures were strongly associated with a preoperative varus deformity (hazard ratio (HR) 8.8) and there was a slightly increased risk in males (HR 1.9) and in osteoarthritic knees (HR 1.8). In the nine fractures which occurred within four years of primary implantation (group 1), failure to correct adequately a preoperative varus deformity and the use of a bone graft to correct such a deformity were both strongly associated with fracture (HR 13.9 and 15.8, respectively). In eight fractures which occurred more than five years after primary replacement (group 2) we could detect no significant risk factors. Early complications occurred in two patients after the 16 revision procedures for tray fracture. One had a deep infection and the other refracture of the tray.
Effectiveness of the ATM services for the TCP protocol applications (2002)

In the first phase of the ATM introduction connectionless services constitute a high percentage of the whole traffic. This is due to the great interest in high speed computer interconnection and long distance LAN emulation. This type of traffic in the classical computer networks is served mainly by the TCP transport layer protocol (and the datagram version UDP). These protocols will definitely be applied in the first ATM networks and this is the reason why their performance over ATM is of great importance. Two main possible solutions for serving this type of traffic are proposed by the ATM Forum. The first one, the UBR service carries the traffic in the "best effort" way. The second is the ABR service with the set of preventive mechanisms to avoid congestion in the network. This paper deals with the behaviour of the above protocols over ATM networks using different services as well as presenting some general considerations on how to use these protocols in the broadband networks.
Notes on the Ichthyology of Surinam (Dutch Guiana). 2. The Surinam representatives of Gasteropelecus and Carnegiella, with remarks on the tribe Gasteropelecidi (1952)

This paper, the second note on the fishes of Surinam, is chiefly based on material recently acquisited by the Museum. The first paper dealt with the Callichthyidae (cf. Beaufortia No. 12).\nI am much indebted to Mr. C. A. SPOELSTRA of the „Blijdorp” Zoo-Aquarium in Rotterdam, who took care that the fine collection was preserved in the proper way, and who arranged preservation of specimens in the various localities. The members of the Blijdorp expedition had merely the task to bring back alive fishes for aquatic-dealers as well as the Blijdorp aquarium.
SOLID FUELS VIE FOR PROPELLANT LEAD (1958)

An approach for maximizing container loading and minimizing the waste of space using Q-learning (2013)

This paper suggests a methodology for tackling container loading problem by using a Q-learning technique. One of the important issues for the efficient operation of container loading problem is to find software that can determine the order in which the containers are to be arranged in order to speed up the process. However, the efficient way to arrange containers involves new and specialized logistic process, a number of logistics plan and automated system to handle a great number of containers. This study proposes a method for maximizing the load of container and consequently minimizing the waste of space.
The growing role of gene methylation on endocrine function (2011)

DNA methylation is the best studied epigenetic factor, playing a key role in producing stable changes in gene expression, thus defining cell identity and function and adapting cells to environmental changes. DNA methylation has also been recently shown to mediate cell responses to physiological endocrine signals. Moreover, alterations of the normal DNA methylation pattern can also contribute to the development of endocrine and metabolic diseases and can explain the relationship between an individual's genetic background, the environment, and disease. It should be remarked that although DNA methylation and demethylation are active processes, epigenetic changes produced during development can impact adult processes, establishing the idea that endocrine function can be persistently affected by events occurring in early life. Given the complexity of the endocrine system, both genetic and epigenetic processes, including DNA methylation, must be involved in its proper development and functioning. In this study, we summarize the recent knowledge in the field of DNA methylation and endocrinology. Given that DNA methylation can be involved in a number of endocrine and metabolic disorders, understanding and manipulating this modification opens a new door for preventing and treating endocrine diseases.
Dynamic Relocating Vehicle Resources Using a Microscopic Traffic Simulation Model for Carsharing Services (2010)

This research involves a study of the existing carsharing services in Singapore. In this paper, a novel method to forecast and relocate vehicle resources for carsharing services was proposed. The proposed model consists of three main components, i.e., microscopic traffic simulation, focus forecasting and inventory replenishing. An actual suburban network of the Clementi area of Singapore and including several carsharing ports was used for the microscopic simulations conducted in this study. Based on the experimental results, the proposed method has the potential to improve the carsharing service currently operating in Singapore.
The electrical properties of ferroelectric LiTaO3 and its solid solutions (1987)

ac impedance techniques have been used to characterize ceramic samples of LiTaO3 and the solid solutions Li1−5xTa1+xO3 as a function of temperature in the range 350–800 °C. LiTaO3 has a low conductivity and the principal charge carriers appear to be electrons. At temperatures well removed from its ferroelectric Curie temperature, TC, 640 °C, a single arc or semicircle appears in the complex impedance plane representation of the ac impedance data and is attributed to the electronic resistance of the sample in parallel with the geometric capacitance. At temperatures close to TC an additional semicircle appears. This is attributed to a circuit element that includes the high capacitance values associated with the ferroelectric polarization processes. A method for extracting capacitance values from such data is given. It is shown that, under certain circumstances, fixed frequency measurements of capacitance can give rise to incorrect estimates of both TC and the magnitude of the capacitance as a function of temperature. The nonstoichiometric lithium tantalates are essentially lithium-ion vacancy conductors and the level of their conductivity may be correlated with composition and the solid solution mechanism. These materials are also ferroelectric and TC decreases with increasing departure from the stoichiometric composition.
VLSI architecture of the soft-output sphere decoder for MIMO systems (2005)

Sphere decoders can approach the performance of maximum-likelihood (ML) decoders for MIMO systems with lower complexity. In this paper, VLSI architecture of the modified K-best Schnorr-Euchner (MKSE) sphere decoder is proposed for soft-output MIMO decoding. The MKSE decoder can achieve near-ML performance with higher decoding throughput and lower computational complexity. The proposed VLSI architecture is implemented for a 4 /spl times/ 4 16-QAM MIMO system in a 0.13-/spl mu/m CMOS technology. The implemented soft-output MKSE chip can achieve a decoding throughput of more than 100 Mb/s with a 0.56 mm/sup 2/ core area and 97 K gates.
Rube Goldberg goes (ribo)nuclear? Molecular switches and sensors made from RNA (2003)

Switches and sensors play important roles in our everyday lives. The chemical properties of RNA make it amenable for use as a switch or sensor, both artificially and in nature. This review focuses on recent advances in artificial RNA switches and sensors. Researchers have been applying classical biochemical principles such as allostery in elegant ways that are influencing the development of biosensors and other applications. Particular attention is given here to allosteric ribozymes (aptazymes) that are regulated by small organic molecules, by proteins, or by oligonucleotides. Also discussed are ribozymes whose activities are controlled by various nonallosteric strategies.
[The toxicity of mercury and/or amalgam]. (1980)

The investigation showed that the main source of error with mercury is the finest distribution of mercury vapor (unfortunately colorless and odorless) and not the metalic distribution. If the development of mercury vapor is hindered, the possibility of mercury intoxication can be almost entirely eliminated. Health hazards due to allergies however are possible.
An Evaluation of Human Sensibility on Perceived Texture for Real Haptic Representation (2007)

This paper describes an experiment on the evaluation of human sensibility by monitoring responses to changes In the frequency and amplitude of a tactile display system. Preliminary tasks were performed to obtain effective adjectives concerning texture perception. The number of collected adjectives was originally 33. This number of adjectives was reduced to 14 by a suitability survey that asked whether an adjective is suitable for expressing a texture feeling. Finally after performing a semantic similarity evaluation, the number of adjectives was further reduced to ten and these ten were used in the main experiment. In the main experiment, selected sandpaper types and 15 selected combinations of frequencies and amplitudes of a tactile display were utilized to quantitatively evaluate the ten adjectives using a bipolar seven-point scale. The data show that a relationship exists between the independent variables(frequency, amplitude, and grit site) and the dependent variable(perceived texture). That is, the change of frequency and amplitude is directly related to perceived roughness or essential elements of human tactile sensitivity found in the preliminary experiment.
Electrical resistivity of alkali elements (1979)

This paper presents and discusses the available data and information on the electrical resistivity of alkali elements (lithium, sodium, potassium, rubidium, cesium, and francium) and contains recommended reference values (or provisional or typical values). The compiled data include all the experimental data available from the literature and cover the temperature dependence, pressure dependence, and magnetic flux density dependence. The temperature range covered by the compiled data is from cryogenic temperatures to above the critical temperature of the elements. The recommended values are generated from critical evaluation, analysis, and synthesis of the available data and information and are given for both the total electrical resistivity and the intrinsic electrical resistivity. For most of the elements, the recommended values cover the temperature range from 1 K to 2000 K.
Interrogating Urban Climate Leadership: Toward a Political Ecology of the C40 Network (2015)

This article considers the rapid evolution and increased prominence of the C40 Cities Climate Change Leadership Group and its commitment to the development of a new style of thinking, and possibly a new urban construct. This new construct is not yet understood, perhaps due to the fact that it is an inchoate ideal being forged through the work of the network for the future of our cities. Such an assessment is well situated within the political economy of urban sustainability, with its ability to set up an interrogative frame to identify the progressive and regressive possibilities that the C40 signals. This article argues that the C40 cities propose nothing new in their ideas, providing a reinforcement of neoliberal urbanism. We need to deviate from technocratic and “econocratic” approaches toward pathways that emphasize the democratic content of socio-environmental development.
Oracle Database Workload Performance Measurement and Tuning Toolkit (2006)

Database tuning practice is mainly conducted as a consequence of user’s complaints on the performance. There is a need for a reactive monitoring and tuning tool enabling a real-time overview of the main resource consumers in order to detect and solve performance bottlenecks. With an assessment of the Oracle’s high-availability database, in terms of the main architectural components and their impact on performance, we have developed a Java tool for the efficient and resource-effective tuning of Oracle databases. Our tool, called Workload Performance Monitoring and Tuning (WPMT), enables proactive and reactive database tuning. By combining today’s best monitoring and tuning practices with our metrics management, we have designed a unique approach to illustrate the efficiency of the Oracle database memory segments responsible for handling the workload. This approach consists of developing database memory delta charts, illustrating the efficiency of memory initialization parameters versus component’s workload performance.
Binarized Neural Networks on the ImageNet Classification Task (2016)

We trained Binarized Neural Networks (BNNs) on the high resolution ImageNet ILSVRC-2102 dataset classification task and achieved a good performance. With a moderate size network of 13 layers, we obtained top-5 classification accuracy rate of 84.1 % on validation set through network distillation, much better than previous published results of 73.2% on XNOR network and 69.1% on binarized GoogleNET. We expect networks of better performance can be obtained by following our current strategies. We provide a detailed discussion and preliminary analysis on strategies used in the network training.
Physicochemical Characteristics of SAPO-34 Molecular Sieves Synthesized with Mixed Templates as MTO Catalysts (2010)

In the present work, a variety of SAPO-34 catalysts have been prepared using various templates such as a single or mixtures of tetraethylammonium hydroxide (TEAOH), morpholine, diethylamine (DEA), triethylamine (TEA), dipropylamine (DPA), isopropylamine (IPA) and Diethanolamine (DEtA). It is shown that crystal morphology and physicochemical properties were affected by the kinds of templates and mixture contents. Especially, inexpensive SAPO-34 catalyst with good crystal properties and catalytic performance was obtained by using mixed template of DEA and TEAOH. Through N2 isotherm, XRD, SEM, NH3 TPD and 29Si-NMR techniques, the effect of mixed template on the crystal morphology, acidity and Si distribution were investigated. Catalytic activity and life stability of SAPO-34 in MTO reaction was improved by using mixed template because of the distinction of the crystal size, acidity and Si distribution.

Survival and cure of acute myeloid leukaemia in <scp>E</scp>ngland, 1971‐2006: a population–based study (2013)

The 5-year relative survival of adults diagnosed with acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) was less than 10% during the 1970s and 1980s in England. This population-based study estimated the 5-year relative survival and 'cure' for 48 380 adult patients diagnosed with AML in England during 1971-2006. Relative survival and cure mixture models were used to produce estimates of 5-year relative survival and the percentage 'cured'. 'Cure' was defined as the proportion of a group of survivors for whom there is no excess mortality compared with the general population. The 5-year relative survival and the percentage 'cured' increased for patients aged under 70 years at diagnosis during 1971-2006, but advancing age was associated with poorer outcome. During the study period a dramatic increase in 5-year relative survival occurred in those aged 15-24 years, from 7% to 53%. The percentage 'cured' was less than 10% for all ages in 1975, but increased to 45% for those aged 15-24 years in 2000. Cure could not be estimated for patients over 70 years, because survival was consistently low (<5%). The long-term outcome of patients with AML has improved substantially, particularly in younger patients. The potential exists for further increasing levels of 'cure'.
A frequency and symbol synchronization system for OFDM signals: architecture and simulation results (2000)

A data-aided frequency and symbol synchronization scheme for M-QAM OFDM signals is suggested. At first, the phase discriminator (PD) and frequency discriminator (FD) for, respectively, the symbol and frequency synchronization loop are described. Second, the transfer function and design parameters of the loop filters are provided. The acquisition and tracking performance of the synchronization system are evaluated using simulation for a 4-PSK signal constellation. The cases of additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) and frequency and time selective multipath Rayleigh channels are separately tested.
