Genome-block expression-assisted association studies discover malaria resistance genes in <i>Anopheles gambiae</i> (2013)

The malaria parasite-resistance island (PRI) of the African mosquito vector, Anopheles gambiae, was mapped to five genomic regions containing 80 genes, using coexpression patterns of genomic blocks. High-throughput sequencing identified 347 nonsynonymous single-nucleotide polymorphisms within these genes in mosquitoes from malaria-endemic areas in Kenya. Direct association studies between nonsynonymous single-nucleotide polymorphisms and Plasmodium falciparum infection identified three naturally occurring genetic variations in each of three genes (An. gambiae adenosine deaminase, fibrinogen-related protein 30, and fibrinogen-related protein 1) that were associated significantly with parasite infection. A role for these genes in the resistance phenotype was confirmed by RNA interference knockdown assays. Silencing fibrinogen-related protein 30 increased parasite infection significantly, whereas ablation of fibrinogen-related protein 1 transcripts resulted in mosquitoes nearly free of parasites. The discovered genes and single-nucleotide polymorphisms are anticipated to be useful in the development of tools for malaria control in endemic areas in Africa.
A modeling framework for reuse distance-based estimation of cache performance (2015)

We develop an analytical modeling framework for efficient prediction of cache miss ratios based on reuse distance distributions. The only input needed for our predictions is the reuse distance distribution of a program execution: previous work has shown that they can be obtained with very small overhead by sampling from native executions. This should be contrasted with previous approaches that base predictions on stack distance distributions, whose collection need significantly larger overhead or additional hardware support. The predictions are based on a uniform modeling framework which can be specialized for a variety of cache replacement policies, including Random, LRU, PLRU, and MRU (aka. bit-PLRU), and for arbitrary values of cache size and cache associativity. We evaluate our modeling framework with the SPEC CPU 2006 benchmark suite over a set of cache configurations with varying cache size, associativity and replacement policy. The introduced inaccuracies were generally below 1% for the model of the policy, and additionally around 2% when set-local reuse distances must be estimated from global reuse distance distributions. The inaccuracy introduced by sampling is significantly smaller.
Study of presence of available phosphorus in soil of Kalol-Godhra taluka territory. (2013)

This physico-chemical study of soil is based on various parameters like pH, conductivity, Total Organic Carbon, Available Nitrogen (N), Available Phosphorus (P2O5) and Available Potassium (K2O). This study lead us to the conclusion of the nutrient’s quantity of soil of Kalol and Godhra Taluka, District- Panchmahal, Gujarat. Results show that average all the villages of both these taluka have medium and high Phosphorus content. The fertility index for phosphorus for both this taluka is 1.79. This information will help farmers to decide the problems related to soil nutrients amount of fertilizers to be added to soil to make the production economic.
Single image depth estimation based on dark channel prior (2013)

This paper presents a depth estimation method based on dark channel prior to construct a depth map from a single 2D image of an outdoor scene for 3D display applications. The method computes a depth map using a series of image processing strategies such as dark channel computation, edge detection, the edge-based iterative thresholding technique, the region split-and-merge algorithm, the foreground and background classification, and the depth estimation by integration of dark channel and elevation information. Experimental results and comparisons show that the proposed method provides good depth estimation in boundaries and regions of sky and buildings.
Efficacy of curcumin in the treatment of chronic gingivitis: a pilot study. (2013)

Pharmacological evidence that α<sub>1</sub>‐ and α<sub>2</sub>‐adrenoceptors mediate vasoconstriction of carotid arteriovenous anastomoses in anaesthetized pigs (1999)

Vasoconstriction of carotid arteriovenous anastomoses may be involved in the therapeutic action of acutely acting anti-migraine agents, including the triptans and ergot alkaloids. While 5-HT1B/1D receptors mediate the effect of triptans, ergotamine and dihydroergotamine also interact with alpha-adrenoceptors. In the present study, we investigated the potential role of alpha1- and alpha2-adrenoceptors in mediating vasoconstriction of carotid arteriovenous anastomoses in anaesthetized pigs. Ten minute intracarotid infusions of phenylephrine (1, 3 and 10 microg kg(-1) min(-1)) or BHT 933 (3, 10 and 30 microg kg(-1) min(-1)) produced dose-dependent decreases in total carotid and arteriovenous anastomotic conductances; no changes were observed in the capillary fraction. The carotid vascular effects of phenylephrine and BHT 933 were selectively abolished by prazosin (100 microg kg(-1), i.v.) and rauwolscine (300 microg kg(-1), i.v.), respectively. The responses to phenylephrine and BHT 933 were not affected by the selective 5-HT1B/1D receptor antagonist GR127935 (500 microg kg(-1), i.v.). These results show that both alpha1- and alpha2-adrenoceptors can mediate vasoconstriction of carotid arteriovenous anastomoses in anaesthetized pigs. Since vasoconstrictor activity in this in vivo model is predictive of anti-migraine activity, an agonist activity at particularly the alpha2-adrenoceptor subtypes, in view of their less ubiquitous nature, could provide migraine abortive potential. Thus, the present results may aid further understanding of the mode of action of some current anti-migraine agents and may eventually be helpful in the development of future treatment in migraine.

Plasma Catecholamine Metabolite Levels in ADHD Boys With and Without Reading Disabilities (1993)

Examined plasma catecholamine metabolite levels in 24 boys with attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) who were divided into subgroups based on the presence or absence of reading disabilities. The reading-disabled ADHD group had a significantly (p < .01) higher level of plasma 3-methoxy-4-hydroxyphenylglycol (MHPG), the metabolite of norepinephrine, but the groups diet not differ on the dopamine metabolite homovanillic acid (HVA). Furthermore, MHPG levels were correlated with measures of reading and spelling ability such that high MHPG was associated with poor academic achievement. These findings suggest that a fruitful approach to understanding the neural substrates of ADHD may be to focus on homogeneous subgroups defined according to individual symptom dimensions.
Globus and headache: common symptoms of the irritable bowel syndrome. (1978)

Persons with the irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) have a significantly higher prevalence of globus and migraine-like headache than age-matched control subjects. On the other hand, persons with organic disease of the esophagus or colon may have a reduced prevalence of functional symptoms involving the opposite end of the gastrointestinal tract. The dispersed pattern of symptoms in IBS suggests that some agent, such as a hormone, may be acting systemically.
10.1016/0967-0653(93)95123-n (2000)

A design of a variable interference filter imaging spectrometer (VIFIS) system is described. A set of systematic concepts, including continuous spectral image encoding using a spatially variable light-frequency-selective principle; spectral image data reconstruction using a transputer co-processed video rate pushbroom queue processing algorithm; and complete spectral image information storages and retrieval using video recording, have been adopted in the system. These result in a system that can supply up to 640 spectral bands of 8-bit images within the spectral range from 400 to 700 nm after one flyby. Many other attributes such as compactness of the sensor, simplicity in operation, availability of in-flight image inspection, accessibility in flight height and velocity are other advantages of the system. A preliminary test over the Tay Estuary was performed aboard a Cessna 152 aircraft. The images and spectral profiles obtained show the system to be an effective tool for remote sensing. 10 refs.
After office hours (1996)

When Dr. James Simpson began to use anesthesia in child-birth in 1846, a religious furor arose against its use. For many people, including many physicians, Genesis chapter 3, verse 16, implied that childbirth had to be a painful process. In 1849, the editors of one of Canada's medical journals asked Abraham De Sola, Canada's first rabbi, to give his interpretation of Genesis 3:16 for the benefit of their readers, which he did in a three-part article. Using Hebrew biblical scholars as his source, he wrote that the correct interpretation of this passage was that with toil or labor shall women bring forth children, rather than with pain. Therefore, by using anesthesia in childbirth, physicians were not going against the scriptures or the word of God.
The Distributions of Variance Components in Two Stage Regression Model (1996)

A regression model with nested erroe structure is considered. The regression model includes two error terms that are independent and normally distributed with zero means and constant variances. This error structure of the model gives correlated response variables. The distributions of variance components in the regression model with nested error structure are dervied by using theorems for quadratic forms.
Substantial undocumented infection facilitates the rapid dissemination of novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) (2020)

Estimation of the prevalence and contagiousness of undocumented novel coronavirus [severe acute respiratory syndrome-coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2)] infections is critical for understanding the overall prevalence and pandemic potential of this disease. Here, we use observations of reported infection within China, in conjunction with mobility data, a networked dynamic metapopulation model, and Bayesian inference, to infer critical epidemiological characteristics associated with SARS-CoV-2, including the fraction of undocumented infections and their contagiousness. We estimate that 86% of all infections were undocumented [95% credible interval (CI): 82-90%] before the 23 January 2020 travel restrictions. The transmission rate of undocumented infections per person was 55% the transmission rate of documented infections (95% CI: 46-62%), yet, because of their greater numbers, undocumented infections were the source of 79% of the documented cases. These findings explain the rapid geographic spread of SARS-CoV-2 and indicate that containment of this virus will be particularly challenging.
Effect of healon5 and 4 other viscoelastic substances on intraocular pressure and endothelium after cataract surgery (2001)

With all 5 OVDs, endothelial cell loss was found, with the lowest in the Healon5 group, and IOP was increased 4 to 6 hours postoperatively. After 24 hours, no significant increases in IOP were noted.
Sweep Improvement Options for the Daqing Oil Field (2006)

Abstract This paper investigates the potential of various approaches for improving sweep in parts of the Daqing Oil Field that have been EOR targets. Possibilities included (1) gel treatments that are directed at channeling through fractures, (2) colloidal dispersion gels, (3) reduced polymer degradation, (4) more viscous polymer solutions, and (5) foams and other methods. Our studies indicated that the polymer flood should have provided excellent sweep throughout the vast majority of the patterns under consideration. However, since ASP flooding is being considered to increase recovery efficiency from the Daqing Oil Field, mobility control and sweep improvement will be especially important and challenging during implementation of any future ASP process. Fractures were present in a number of Daqing wells (both injectors and producers). Because the fractures were narrow far from the wellbore, severe channeling did not occur. On the contrary, fractures near the wellbore aided reservoir sweep. These near-wellbore fractures substantially increased the injectivity index during injection of polymer solutions and increased oil productivity index in the production wells. These observations may be valuable during implementation of future floods where very low-mobility chemical (i.e., ASP) banks must be injected to maintain mobility control. Several modes of polymer degradation were considered, with mechanical (shear) degradation being of most concern. Appropriate use of near-wellbore fractures may effectively mitigate mechanical degradation, as well as improving injectivity. Several new polymers show potential for cost-effective improvements at Daqing. Increased polymer concentration was also considered. A number of other approaches are (or have been) under investigation, including colloidal dispersion gels, foams, ASP foams, steam, microbes, and polymer solutions prepared with reduced salinity.
Overview of the public health implications of cockroaches and their management (2004)

The Nitbusters program is a NSW Health initiative to reduce the prevalence of headlice in the community. The project, developed in consultation with the NSW Federation of Parents and Citizens Associations and the NSW Department of Education and Training, educates school children and parents about headlice and how to screen for and treat them as a community. The program is aimed not at eradicating headlice but at identifying and managing infestations. Nitbusters tries to educate communities through schools about the most effective ways to reduce populations of headlice by encouraging school 'Nitbuster days'. These days are coordinated by parent volunteers, who use a fine-toothed nit comb and white hair conditioner to both screen for and treat headlice. As most parents realise, eliminating headlice completely is probably-for the moment at least-not realistic. However, learning a safe and effective and simple method of removing headlice can make the management of infestations a little easier. Nitbusters recommends that all families regularly practise this method of treatment. Keep a good quality nit comb in the shower and train children to use it every time they wash their hair, even if their heads are not itchy. The Nitbusters program has held demonstration training days in a number of primary schools across New South Wales. Neighbouring schools were invited to attend these days and learn how to coordinate their own Nitbuster day. Data is available from some of those demonstration schools. Over 3,000 primary school children have been screened. Of those screened, more than 24 per cent had infestations of headlice. This is similar to both Victoria and Queensland, where more than 20 per cent of primary school children have been reported to have headlice.
Regulation of hepatic stellate cells by connective tissue growth factor (2012)

Connective tissue growth factor (CTGF/CCN2) regulates cell proliferation, differentiation, adhesion, chemotaxis, migration, apoptosis and extracellular matrix production. Through these diverse actions, CTGF/CCN2 plays a major role in important physiological and pathophysiological processes such as embryogenesis, implantation, angiogenesis, chondrogenesis, tumorigenesis, differentiation, wound healing and fibrosis. Whereas hepatic levels of CTGF/CCN2 are usually low, elevated levels of hepatic CTGF/CCN2 occur in patients with liver fibrosis and in experimental animal models of liver fibrosis. In fibrotic liver, CTGF/CCN2 is produced by multiple cell types but its sustained expression by and action on hepatic stellate cells is particularly important because these cells assume an activated phenotype during fibrosing injury and are principally responsible for the excessive production of fibrillar collagens, a process that is driven by CTGF/CCN2. Through its direct actions and interactions with other molecules such as fibronectin or transforming growth factor beta-1, CTGF/CCN2 promotes proliferation, survival, migration, adhesion, and extracellular matrix production in activated hepatic stellate cells, thereby promoting hepatic fibrogenic pathways. This review focuses on the regulation of hepatic stellate cell function by CTGF/CCN2.
Performance analysis of UDP with energy efficient link layer on Markov fading channels (2002)

In this paper, we analyze the throughput and energy efficiency performance of user datagram protocol (UDP) using linear, binary exponential, and geometric backoff algorithms at the link layer (LL) on point-to-point wireless fading links. Using a first-order Markov chain representation of the packet success/failure process on fading channels, we derive analytical expressions for throughput and energy efficiency of UDP/LL with and without LL backoff. The analytical results are verified through simulations. We also evaluate the mean delay and delay variation of voice packets and energy efficiency performance over a wireless link that uses UDP for transport of voice packets and the proposed backoff algorithms at the LL. We show that the proposed LL backoff algorithms achieve energy efficiency improvement of the order of 2-3 dB compared to LL with no backoff, without compromising much on the throughput and delay performance at the UDP layer. Such energy savings through protocol means will improve the battery life in wireless mobile terminals.

LRRFIP2 negatively regulates NLRP3 inflammasome activation in macrophages by promoting Flightless-I-mediated caspase-1 inhibition (2013)

The NLRP3 inflammasome is the most characterized inflammasome activated by cellular infection or stress, which is responsible for the maturation of proinflammatory cytokines IL-1β and IL-18. The precise molecular mechanism for negative regulation of NLRP3 inflammasome activation needs to be further defined. Here we identify leucine-rich repeat Fli-I-interacting protein 2 (LRRFIP2) as an NLRP3-associated protein and an inhibitor for NLRP3 inflammasome activation. LRRFIP2 binds to NLRP3 via its N terminus upon NLRP3 inflammasome activation, and also interacts with Flightless-I, a pseudosubstrate of caspase-1, via its Coil motif. Knockdown of Flightless-I significantly promotes NLRP3 inflammasome activation. LRRFIP2 enhances the interaction between Flightless-I and caspase-1, facilitating the inhibitory effect of Flightless-I on caspase-1 activation. Furthermore, silencing of Flightless-I abrogates the inhibitory effect of LRRFIP2 on NLRP3 inflammasome. These data demonstrate that LRRFIP2 inhibits NLRP3 inflammasome activation by recruiting the caspase-1 inhibitor Flightless-I, thus outlining a new mechanism for negative regulation of NLRP3 inflammasome.
