Risk for Nephrogenic Systemic Fibrosis with Gadoteridol (ProHance) in Patients Who Are on Long-Term Hemodialysis (2008)

It is concluded that the risk for nephrogenic systemic fibrosis with gadoteridol in patients who are on long-term hemodialysis may be lower than with gadodiamide and gadopentetate dimeglumine.
Vasopressin and the mature coronary collateral circulation. (1989)

In isolated vascular rings, we have shown that mature coronary collateral vessels are highly responsive to the vasoconstrictor effects of vasopressin. The purpose of the present study was to determine the effect of concentrations of vasopressin encountered in pathophysiologic states on the collateral circulation in vivo. We studied eight open-chest anesthetized dogs with mature coronary collateral vessels 3-6 months after placement of an ameroid constrictor on the left circumflex coronary artery. The left anterior descending coronary artery was perfused at constant pressure, and peripheral coronary pressure was monitored continuously throughout each experiment. At baseline and during intracoronary infusion of vasopressin, which resulted in concentrations ranging from 8 +/- 3 to 1,340 +/- 327 microM/ml, we measured regional myocardial perfusion with radiolabeled microspheres. At baseline, regional myocardial perfusion to the collateral-dependent myocardium and to the normally perfused myocardium was similar; however, during vasopressin infusion, collateral-dependent zone flow decreased by 49 +/- 14% whereas normal zone flow decreased by only 9 +/- 9% (p less than 0.0005, normal zone perfusion vs. collateral perfusion). Vasopressin increased transcollateral resistance by 242 +/- 95% above baseline but produced a more modest increase in normal zone resistance (15 +/- 10%). The subendocardial to subepicardial perfusion ratio increased by 28 +/- 12% in the normal zone in response to vasopressin but decreased by 18 +/- 11% in the collateral-dependent zone. These data show that mature coronary collateral vessels are responsive to the vasoconstrictor effects of vasopressin at concentrations encountered in various pathophysiologic states.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
Religious Diversity and its Challenges to Religious Belief (2008)

Abstract Contemporary Western culture is experiencing a heightened awareness of religious diversity. This article surveys a range of possible responses to such diversity, and distinguishes between responses that concern the salvation or moral transformation of persons ( soteriological views) and those that concern the alethic or epistemic status of religious beliefs ( doctrinal views). After providing a brief taxonomy of these positions and their possible relations to one another, the article focuses primarily on competing views about the truth and rationality of religious beliefs (e.g., pluralism, exclusivism, and skepticism). Here a heavy emphasis is placed on arguments for and against the rationality and moral propriety of retaining one's religious beliefs in the face of disagreement. The article surveys some of the more prominent arguments from the literature on this topic and closes with suggestions for further research.
Medical Domain Ontology Construction Approach: A Basis for Medical Decision Support (2007)

In this paper, we present an approach for building medical domain ontology as a foundation for knowledge-centric decision support. The knowledge acquisition phase is based on heterogeneous data sources including textual corpora, practice guidelines, databases, terminological sources as well as existing ontologies and medical Standards. Beyond a knowledge modelization process, we propose a meta-conceptualization and a formalization phase constituting a Medical Core-Ontology established at a high-level of abstraction and guiding the operationalization and exploitation phase. The operationalization process instantiates a referential medical domain ontology and integrates it into a knowledge-based system allowing knowledge reasoning and inference and thus, preparing the basis for a medical decision support.

Intramolecular nucleophilic assistance in reactions of acetals (1972)

The hydrolyses of 4-aminobutyraldehyde diethyl acetal, 2-pyridylmethylaminoacetaldehyde diethyl acetal, succinaldehydic acid dimethyl acetal, and D-threo-teturonic acid dimethyl acetal are not appreciably faster than those of analogous acetals without the potential neighbouring groups, which indicates that there is no intramolecular nucleophilic assistance in the former reactions. The cyclisation of 2-carboxybenzaldehyde diethyl acetal to 3-ethoxyphthalide is about three times faster than the hydrolysis of terephthalaldehydic acid diethyl acetal in aqueous buffers, which also indicates the absence of significant nucleophilic assistance. In 82% w/w aqueous dioxan the pH*–rate profile for the cyclisation of 2-carboxybenzaldehyde diethyl acetal at 60° is sigmoid and at pH* 9·46 the rate is 3000 times that for the hydrolysis of terephthalaldehydic acid diethyl acetal. Therefore under these conditions the carboxylate group provides nucleophilic assistance for the acid-catalysed rupture of the acetal bond.Hydrolysis of 2-(o-carboxyphenyl)-1,3-dioxolan proceeds via an intermediate, probably 3-(2-hydroxyethyl)-1,3-dioxolan, in aqueous solution at a rate approximately ten times that for the hydrolysis of 2-(p-carboxyphenyl)-1,3-dioxolan. Hydrolysis of 3-(2-hydroxy-1,1,2,2-tetramethylethoxy)phthalide is too fast for it to be detectable as an intermediate in the hydrolysis of 2-(o-carboxyphenyl)-4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-1,3-dioxolan. In water the latter reaction is about ten times faster than hydrolysis of the para-isomer and in 50% w/w aqueous dioxan it is about fifty times faster. Under these conditions the reaction probably involves intramolecular nucleophilic catalysis.The hydrolyses of o-carbamoylbenzaldehyde diethyl acetal and 2-(o-carbamoylphenyl)-1,3-dioxolan yield 3-hydroxyphthalimidine. These reactions proceed via an intermediate which was tentatively identified as o-carbamoylbenzaldehyde.
Exposure to physical and psychological stressors elevates plasma interleukin 6: relationship to the activation of hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis. (1993)

Interleukin 6 (IL-6) is a pleiotropic cytokine produced by the cells of immune and nonimmune origin. Increased production of IL-6 is associated with disturbances of homeostasis, such as trauma, sepsis, or inflammatory diseases. Endotoxemia, tissue injury, or immune inflammatory reactions as well as physical or psychological stress are known to cause increased production of IL-6. We have confirmed this by showing that rats exposed to electric footshock, physical restraint, or a conditioned aversive stimulus have increased levels of plasma IL-6. Interestingly, the kinetics of the increase in plasma IL-6 resembled that of increase in plasma corticosterone. As no detectable endotoxin was found in the plasma samples from stressed and nonstressed rats and there is no evidence of tissue damage and inflammation in situations of restraint or conditioned aversive stimulus, a nonimmune origin of IL-6 is possible. Thus, the releasing of IL-6 into plasma may be under the regulation of neural and endocrine responses to stress. This hypothesis is supported by the decreased production of IL-6 in cultures of splenic cells and peripheral blood mononuclear cells from stressed animals. Furthermore, substantial attenuation of increased plasma IL-6 was achieved by adrenalectomy but not by pretreatment with the beta-receptor antagonist propranolol. The important role of the adrenal gland in the IL-6 response to stress suggests that increased plasma IL-6 may be part of the hormonal responses to stress. As IL-6 induces acute-phase proteins along with glucocorticoids from the adrenal, and regulates the secretion of various hormones from neuroendocrine and endocrine tissues, it is possible that stress-induced increase in plasma IL-6 contributes to the maintenance of homeostasis.
Determination of Trace Elements in National Reference Stream Sediment Samples by Laser Ablation-Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry with Li_2B_4O_7 Fusion Glass Sample Preparation (2007)

A direct determination of trace elements in stream sediment samples by laser ablation-inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (LA-ICPMS) with Li2B4O7 fusion glass sample preparation was developed.The low abundance isotope of lithium(6Li) in the flux was selected as internal standard.The effects of homogenization of fusion glasses and the flux blank on the analytical signals were discussed.Multi-standard calibration was used with fusion stream sediment reference glasses to quantify the trace elements in sediment samples.The proposed method has been applied to the direct analysis of trace elements in National Standard Reference Materials and stream sediment samples.The analytical results are in good agreement with certified values and those from conventional ICPMS determinations.
EVOLUTIONARY ECOLOGY OF INSECT IMMUNE DEFENSES (2004)

Evolutionary ecology seeks to understand the selective reasons for the design features of the immune defense, especially with respect to parasitism. The molecular processes thereby set limitations, such as the failure to recognize an antigen, response specificity, the cost of defense, and the risk of autoimmunity. Sex, resource availability, and interference by parasites also affect a response. In turn, the defense repertoire consists of different kinds of immune responses--constitutive or induced, general or specific--and involves memory and lasting protection. Because the situation often defies intuition, mathematical analysis is typically required to identify the costs and benefits of variation in design, but such studies are few. In all, insect immune defense is much more similar to that of vertebrates than previously thought. In addition, the field is now rapidly becoming revolutionized by molecular data and methods that allow unprecedented access to study evolution in action.
A comparative study on the preparation and physical properties of environmental friendly PMMA‐silica nano/sub‐micron‐scale hybrid latexes controlled by chelating agent (2011)

Abstract In this article, a comparative study of the preparation and physical properties of as‐prepared PMMA‐silica nano‐hybrid (PSN) and sub‐micro‐hybrid (PSM) latexes is successfully presented. Vinyl‐modified silica spheres were prepared using the Stöber process with/without a chelating agent to control particle size. The as‐prepared vinyl‐modified silica spheres with different particle sizes were subsequently characterized by SEM, 13 C‐solid‐state NMR, and 29 Si‐solid‐state NMR spectroscopy. A certain feeding amount of silica spheres was reacted with MMA monomers by emulsion polymerization to yield a series of PSN and corresponding PSM. Both as‐prepared nano/sub‐micronscale hybrid materials were further characterized by FTIR, SEM‐EDX mapping, and TEM studies. The comparative study on the physical properties of both as‐prepared nano/sub‐micron‐scale hybrid materials was done systematically based on a series of instrumentation evaluations performed using a dynamic mechanical analyzer, electrochemical corrosion measurements, salt spray test, and gas permeability analysis. Results indicated that PSN has more effectively enhanced mechanical properties, corrosion protection properties, as well as gas barrier compared to PSM. POLYM.

A Point Mutation at the C-Terminal Half of the Repressor of Temperate Mycobacteriophage L1 Affects Its Binding to the Operator DNA (2004)

The wild-type repressor CI of temperate mycobacteriophage L1 and the temperature-sensitive (ts) repressor CIts391 of a mutant L1 phage, L1cIts391, have been separately overexpressed in E. coli. Both these repressors were observed to specifically bind with the same cognate operator DNA. The operator-binding activity of CIts391 was shown to differ significantly than that of the CI at 32 to 42 degrees C. While 40-95% operator-binding activity was shown to be retained at 35 to 42 degrees C in CI, more than 75% operator-binding activity was lost in CIts391 at 35 to 38 degrees C, although the latter showed only 10% less binding compared to that of the former at 32 degrees C. The CIts391 showed almost no binding at 42 degrees C. An in vivo study showed that the CI repressor inhibited the growth of a clear plaque former mutant of the L1 phage more strongly than that of the CIts391 repressor at both 32 and 42 degrees C. The half-life of the CIts391-operator complex was found to be about 8 times less than that of the CI-operator complex at 32 degrees C. Interestingly, the repressor-operator complexes preformed at 0 degrees C have shown varying degrees of resistance to dissociation at the temperatures which inhibit the formation of these complexes are inhibited. The CI repressor, but not that of CIts391, regains most of the DNA-binding activity on cooling to 32 degrees C after preincubation at 42 to 52 degrees C. All these data suggest that the 131(st) proline residue at the C-terminal half of CI, which changed to leucine in the CIts391, plays a crucial role in binding the L1 repressor to the cognate operator DNA, although the helix-turn-helix DNA-binding motif of the L1 repressor is located at its N-terminal end.
UNCERTAINTY IN PHASE ARRIVAL TIME PICKS FOR REGIONAL SEISMIC EVENTS: AN EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN (2001)

The detection and timing of seismic arrivals play a critical role in the ability to locate seismic events, especially at low magnitude. Errors can occur with the determination of the timing of the arrivals, whether these errors are made by automated processing or by an analyst. One of the major obstacles encountered in properly estimating travel-time picking error is the lack of a clear and comprehensive discussion of all of the factors that influence phase picks. This report discusses possible factors that need to be modeled to properly study phase arrival time picking errors. We have developed a multivariate statistical model, experimental design, and analysis strategy that can be used in this study. We have embedded a general form of the International Data Center(IDC)/U.S. National Data Center (USNDC) phase pick measurement error model into our statistical model. We can use this statistical model to optimally calibrate a picking error model to regional data. A follow-on report will present the results of this analysis plan applied to an implementation of an experiment/data-gathering task.

Oriented Embedding of Single-Cell Organisms (1974)

AbstractThe dexribed technique facilitates oriented embedding of individual cells in various media for both light and electron microscopy. A fixed Specimen is embedded in a small cube of 2% agar at 40 C and subsequently sealed in the desired orientation to a strip of black paper which then serves as a tab for transferring the specimen during dehydrating and embedding procedures. The beveled ends of the strip indicate the exact location of the specimen in the cube. This technique can be employed for the embedding media used in both light and electron microscopy. It ah permits photomicrographs of the whole specimen to be made which can be compared with photomicrographs of individual sections cut from the specimen in a selected plane.
Internal resonance between the extensional and flexural modes in micromechanical resonators (2019)

Internal resonance between different vibration modes in micromechanical devices has been widely studied due to its promising application prospects in microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) resonators and oscillators. In this paper, we investigated the 2:1 internal resonance between the extensional and flexural modes in a micromechanical cantilever beam resonator using open and closed loop testing methods. In the open loop test, energy transfer from the extensional mode to the flexural mode induced by internal resonance is directly observed. Amplitude saturation and internal resonance bandwidth change in the extensional mode are experimentally studied and theoretically verified with numerical simulation. In the closed loop system, internal resonance produces a bistable self-oscillation frequency. The oscillation frequency of the extensional mode will be locked to one of the two peaks induced by internal resonance. In addition, obvious improvement in short-term frequency stability of the closed loop system is observed with the help of internal resonance. The dynamic characteristics studied in this research can be potentially used to enhance the performance of MEMS vibration devices by internal resonance.
Accelerometer Calibration Technique (1950)

A technique has been developed for the dynamic calibration of accelerometers or other vibration measuring instruments. It is believed that the technique is more convenient than the reciprocity method for making rapid calibrations over a fairly large frequency range. For each calibration frequency the accelerometer is attached to a free-free bar driven electromagnetically at a known sinusoidal amplitude. The accelerometer output is compared in magnitude and phase with the amplitude of the bar. This is done by means of strain gauges on the bar which are calibrated periodically by direct optical measurement of bar amplitude. The importance of various design factors is discussed and also the accuracy of the technique with relation to amplitude and frequency. The error in the phase measurements is about 2 degrees and the double amplitude can be measured to about 0.003 mm. The error in measuring a 200-g accelerometer at 1000 c.p.s. is about 3 percent.
Extending geographical representation to include fields of spatial objects (2002)

Abstract This paper describes a means for linking field and object representations of geographical space. The approach is based on a series of mappings, where locations in a continuous field are mapped to discrete objects. An object in this context is a modeler's conceptualization, as in a viewshed, highway corridor or biological reserve. An object can be represented as a point, line, polygon, network, or other complex spatial type. The relationship between locations in a field and spatial objects may take the form of one-to-one, one-to-many, many-to-one, or many-to-many. We present a typology of object fields and discuss issues in their construction, storage, and analysis. Example applications are presented and directions for further research are offered.
Treatment of infective and potentially infective complications of vascular bypass grafting using gentamicin with collagen sponge. (1999)

The use of gentamicin with collagen sponge (GCS) in treating patients with infective and potentially infective complications of vascular bypass grafting was reviewed. GCS was used in 25 patients. These were: 11 in situ applications to a proven graft infection, 2 to a superficial wound infection over an underlying graft, 4 at removal of an infected prosthesis, 4 for a persistent lymphatic leak, 3 for an anastomotic aneurysm and one for an anastomotic dehiscence. The GCS was used with rifampicin-soaked collagen impregnated Dacron in 3 of these patients. Of the 11 in situ treatments of a graft infection with GCS, 7 infections were successfully aborted, 3 grafts were removed resulting in 2 patients losing a leg and one patient died before the outcome was known. None of the other patients treated with GCS subsequently had infective sequelae. GCS is a simple, safe and often effective treatment when dealing with these difficult complications of arterial surgery, the use of which requires greater recognition.
Wordplay in Radio Contests (1986)

An automobile dealer in Tuscon, Arizona ran a radio commercial in October 1985 which featured a word game. The advertisement was on twelve different stations, and saturated the airways for two weeks with six to eight spots a day. It was the talk of the town.
