Synthesis of Novel 2,5-Disubstituted-1,3,4-thiadiazoles Clubbed 1,2,4-Triazole, 1,3,4-Thiadiazole, 1,3,4-Oxadiazole and/or Schiff Base as Potential Antimicrobial and Antiproliferative Agents (2015)

In the present study, a new series of 2,5-disubstituted-1,3,4-thiadiazole tethered 1,2,4-triazole, 1,3,4-thiadiazole, 1,3,4-oxadiazole and Schiff base derivatives were synthesized and characterized by IR, ¹H-NMR, (13)C-NMR, MS and elemental analyses. All compounds were screened for their antibacterial, antifungal and antiproliferative activity. Some of the synthesized derivatives have displayed promising biological activity.
Synthesis, Characterization and Dynamic Behavior of (π‐Allyl)palladium Complexes with Polydentate Nitrogen Ligands, Evidence of a Dissociative Mechanism (1996)

Abstract New examples of the fluxional behavior of (η 3 ‐allyl)palla‐dium complexes are described. Variable‐temperature experiments and line‐shape analysis of two (η 3 ‐allyl)palladium complexes containing 2‐(1 H ‐pyrazol‐1‐yl)azine ligands were performed in order to determine the activation free energies, enthalpies and entropies of the process. A dissociative mechanism pointing to a selective Pd‐N cleavage is proposed on the basis of these results and NOE experiments above and below the coalescence temperature.
Compressed caching and modern virtual memory simulation (1999)

CPU speeds have increased so quickly that few program suffer from a lack of CPU capacity. However, many program in all domains of computing are hindered by the slowness of memory at some level of the virtual memory hierarchy. One of the greatest pitfalls in system performance is that of virtual memory paging. 
Improving the performance of this part of the virtual memory hierarchy is essential. However, the understanding of program reference behavior and its relation to virtual memory design and performance has not been significantly advanced in the past thirty years. Recent ideas that could improve virtual memories have been evaluated through direct implementation as part of an operating system kernel. Unfortunately, this approach does not allow for controlled, reproducible experiments that help a researcher to understand how program use their memory. 
Trace-driven simulation allows for these kinds of controlled, scientific experiments. However, the difficulties in gathering, storing, and processing large reference traces have kept researchers from adopting this approach. This dissertation begins by outlining an approach to reducing reference traces for use in simulations of virtual memory. We have used reference traces to explore compressed caching—the insertion of a new, compressed level of RAM into the memory hierarchy. We will present the trace-driven investigations into the compression of in-memory data. We will also present a new, principled approach to making page replacement and compressed caching agilely adapt to a program's reference behavior, made possible by controlled simulations.
Effect of COMT val<sup>158</sup>met genotype on cognition and personality (2008)

The gene encoding catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT), an enzyme which regulates prefrontal cortex dopamine, contains a common functional single nucleotide polymorphism (val158met, rs4680G/A), which accounts for part of the interindividual variance in performance during working memory tasks and also predicts personality traits. We examined the relationship between the val158met polymorphism and cognitive function as well as personality traits in 522 healthy individuals (mean age: 24.75 years, SD=5.84, mean years of education: 15.59, SD=2.65). COMT val158met genotype was related in allele dosage fashion to performance in an executive function test, with the met/met carriers scoring highest. Subjects carrying the met/met genotype also scored higher in the disorganization domain of the SPQ-B personality inventory. Consistent with evidence from previous studies, higher dopamine availability of the met/met genotype enhances prefrontally mediated executive function in healthy individuals. Furthermore, we replicated findings from a recent study whereby the COMT genotype also predicts disorganized personality features.
SOFTWARE SUPPORT FOR HARDWARE PREDICTORS (2019)

Hardware predictors are widely used to improve the performance of modern processors. These predictors are mostly used in data or instruction prefetching mechanisms and branch predictors. Hardware-based prefetchers and branch predictors can work dynamically based on the program's run-time behavior. However, most of the hardware-based predictor mechanisms depend on detecting patterns (data access patterns, branch patterns, etc) and they require very complex mechanisms to be able to capture irregular patterns. Software techniques, like software prefetching, can help to improve the performance of the applications with behaviors that are difficult to capture by hardware mechanisms. On the other hand, they mostly rely on execution special instructions repeatedly during the execution which is likely to create an instruction overhead. Also, they cannot respond to the run-time behaviors like hardware mechanisms. To overcome the weaknesses of prediction mechanisms, we proposed mechanisms which combine the strengths of hardware and software mechanisms. In this thesis, we examined ways to use the knowledge we can extract from the software to inform hardware mechanisms. We enable hardware-based systems to capture complex software behaviors just using the information it receives from the software instead of using large history tables and buffers to try to make predictions. First, we proposed our hardware-based prefetching mechanism called Sequential Prefetcher with Adaptive Distance (SPAD). SPAD uses a simple method of hardware prefetching that integrates timeliness into sequential prefetching. It can outperform recently proposed complex prefetchers with simpler and smaller hardware. In the second chapter, we proposed a software supported hardware prefetching mechanism called Array Tracking Prefether (ATP). This mechanism targets irregular memory access patterns and relies on compiler/programmer to configure hardware prefetching mechanism. By combining the strength of software and hardware methods, ATP outperforms proposed software only and hardware-only solutions. Finally, we proposed another software-assisted prefetcher for pointer intensive in-memory database applications, Node Tracker (NT). Although NT is proposed as a prefetcher, it is capable of using the knowledge it extracts from the prefetched data to help CPU pipeline in other ways to increase throughput. While tightly integrated with CPU, NT can achieve up to 19x speedup for the targeted applications.
A systematic comparison between on-line and off-line methods for signature verification with hidden Markov models (2002)

This paper presents an extensive investigation of various HMM-based techniques for signature verification Different feature extraction methods and HMM topologies are compared in order to obtain an optimized high performance signature verification system. Furthermore, this paper may be the first systematic comparison of online and off-line methods for signature verification using exactly the same database, and leading to the surprising result that the difference in performance for both approaches is relatively small.
Expression of Three Distinct Somatostatin Messenger Ribonucleic Acids (mRNAs) in Goldfish Brain: Characterization of the Complementary Deoxyribonucleic Acids, Distribution and Seasonal Variation of the mRNAs, and Action of a Somatostatin-14 Variant* (1999)

In this study, three somatostatin (SRIF) complementary DNAs (cDNAs) were characterized from goldfish brain. The cDNAs encode three distinct preprosomatostatins (PSS), designated as PSS-I, PSS-II, and PSS-III. The goldfish PSS-I, PSS-II, and PSS-III contain enzymatic cleavage recognition sites, potentially yielding SRIF-14 with sequence identical to mammalian SRIF-14, SRIF-28 with [Glu1, Tyr7, Gly10]SRIF-14 at its C-terminus, and [Pro2]SRIF-14, respectively. The brain distribution of the three SRIF messenger RNAs (mRNAs) were differential but overlapping in the telencephalon, hypothalamus and optic tectum-thalamus regions. Seasonal variations in the levels of the three mRNAs were observed, with differential patterns between the three mRNAs and differences between the sexes. However, only the seasonal alteration in the levels of the mRNA encoding PSS-I showed close association with the seasonal variation in brain contents of immunoreactive SRIF-14 and inversely correlated with the seasonal variation in serum GH levels described in the previous studies, suggesting that SRIF-14 is involved in the control of the seasonal variation in serum GH levels. The putative SRIF-14 variant, [Pro2]SRIF-14, inhibited basal GH secretion from in vitro perifused goldfish pituitary fragments, with similar potency to SRIF-14; [Pro2]SRIF-14 also inhibited stimulated GH release from the pituitary fragments, supporting that [Pro2] SRIF-14 is a biologically active form of SRIF in goldfish.

Recent development in the retrofit of heat exchanger networks (2010)

Abstract\n This work presents a methodology for heat exchanger network (HEN) retrofit, which is applicable to complex industrial revamps, considering existing networks and constraining the number of modifications. The network pinch approach [1] has been modified and extended to apply to the HEN design in which the thermal properties of streams are temperature-dependent. The modified network pinch approach combines structural modifications and cost optimisation in a single step to avoid missing cost-effective design solutions.

The Constitutionality of Legislative Councils (1955)

STRUCTURALLY and organizationally, the state legislature has not changed since the early nineteenth century. It is the most primitive of our organs of state government, yet it is charged with perhaps the most important tasks. Various reforms, such as proportional representation, have been proposed; but PR has an alien sound, and in any case the structure of the legislature is fixed, apparently beyond hope of alteration, in the state constitution. The state constitution also limits the length of the regular session of the legislature, ordinarily to sixty days in two years. The constriction of this limitation has produced pressures of which legislatures themselves have had to take account. They have been obliged to adopt auxiliary devices to enable them to get through their work in the allotted time. The executive budget was introduced in Wisconsin in 1911, whereas it was adopted by the federal government only in 1921; the prior adoption of this innovation on the state level, where financing is incredibly more simple than on the federal, is no doubt to be explained in part by the limitation on the sessions of the state legislature. Interim committees to conduct studies and prepare business for consideration during the short sessions were also widely resorted to, in some states as early as the pre-Civil War era. In 1921 the first Model State Constitution, drafted by the National Municipal League, proposed the establishment of a legislative council. This body would sit throughout the period between sessions, would conduct investigations and studies, and would present a well digested program to the legislature. In 1931 Wisconsin adopted an executive council patterned after the proposed legislative council in the Model State Constitution as to its functions but differing somewhat in its composition. In 1933 Kansas and Michigan created legislative councils closely resembling the recommended pattern, and other states have followed suit. Today councils exist in thirty-four states and the territory of Alaska. For obvious reasons, the first Model State Constitution proposed a council composed of the governor and representatives of both houses of the legislature. This pattern was not adopted by any state. The Kansas and Michigan councils were composed solely of legislators and established the pattern which predominates at present. It was indorsed by the third Model State Constitution, that of 1945. Today only four of the council states permit nonlegislative members to sit on the council; these are Kentucky, New Hampshire, South Carolina, and Utah.
Impacto de barreras vivas sobre suelos de ladera en los valles inter-andinos de Bolivia. 11: efecto sobre la fertilidad del suelo (2012)

La degradacion de las laderas cultivadas de la zona interandina de Bolivia, es alarmante. La perdida fisica del suelo esta bien documentada, pero los cambios quimicos son poco conocidos. Entre 1996 y 1999 el Proyecto Laderas en Bolivia llevo a cabo un programa de investigacion en finca para determinar la eficacia de las barreras vivas en el control de la erosion. El presente estudio analiza los cambios en nutrientes, pH y materia organica en siete sitios empinados en el Departamento de Cochabamba, Bolivia. Se detectaron tendencias en perdidas de materia organica, P, K y Ca, y una reduccion en pH. La alta variabilidad de los sitios y el tiempo reducido despues del establecimiento de las barreras, hace dificil llegar a recomendaciones concretas.

P183Arginase inhibition protecs from ischemia-reperfusion injury in patients with coronary artery disease (2014)

Background: Arginase is an important regulator of nitric oxide production by competing with nitric oxide synthase for their common substrate L-arginine. Up-regulation of arginase in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) and diabetes mellitus (DM) may thereby be of major importance for the development of endothelial dysfunction and ischemia-reperfusion (IR) injury by reducing the bioavailability of nitric oxide. Accordingly, arginase inhibition reduces infarct size and improves endothelial function by nitric oxide synthase-dependent processes in animal models. Purpose: To investigate if arginase inhibition protects from endothelial dysfunction induced by IR in patients with CAD with and without DM. Methods: Male patients with CAD (n=12) or CAD + DM (n=12), were included in this cross-over study with blinded evaluation. Endothelium-dependent vasodilatation was assessed by flow-mediated dilatation (FMD) of the radial artery before and 20 min after a 20 min period of arm ischemia. The patients were given an intra-arterial infusion of the arginase inhibitor Nω-hydroxy-nor-arginine (nor-NOHA, 0.1 mg/min) or saline on the two occasions. The infusions were given for 20 min starting 5 min before reperfusion. Endothelium-independent vasodilatation was assessed by sublingual nitroglycerin. Results: IR decreased FMD in patients with CAD from 12.7±1.5% to 7.9±1.2% during saline administration. Nor-NOHA administration prevented the decrease in FMD in the CAD group (11.5±1.0% FMD at reperfusion, P<0.0.5 vs. saline). Baseline endothelium-dependent vasodilatation was significantly lower in the CAD+DM group (8.3±0.6%) than in the CAD group (P<0.05). IR induced a non-significant decrease in FMD in patients with CAD+DM. FMD at reperfusion was higher following nor-NOHA (11.2±1.0%) than following saline (7.2±1.0%) administration in the CAD + DM group (P<0.01). Endothelium-independent vasodilatation did not differ between the occasions in either group. Conclusions: Inhibition of arginase protects against endothelial dysfunction caused by IR in patients with CAD. Arginase may thereby be a promising therapeutic target in the treatment of IR injury.
Oxidative Radical-mediated Transannulation Reactions Directed Towards Polycycle Constructions (1997)

Oxidative radical-mediated transannular cyclisation of the macrocyclic β-ketoester 5 using Mn(OAc)3-Cu(OAc)2, leads to (9; 40%) by way of a 1,5-hydrogen abstraction pathway. In a similar manner 11 produces 12, but the positional isomer 15 undergoes a double transannular cyclisation giving the tricycle 16 albeit in only 8% yield.
Integrated magnetometer with a digital output (1991)

A magnetometer with a 50-mm/sup 2/ pickup coil, a sensor SQUID, a flux transformer, and a 1-b A/D converter were integrated on a single 6*12 mm/sup 2/ silicon chip in the Nb-Nb/sub x/O/sub y/-PbInAu technology. The pickup coil has a single turn with a 25- mu m-wide Nb strip. Operated in a flux-locked loop and at a clock frequency of 18.4 MHz, the achieved flux noise and magnetic field sensitivity are 3.5 mu Phi /sub 0// square root Hz and 8.5 fT/ square root Hz at 1.5 Hz. With a digital feedback of constant step size a maximum slew rate of 11500 Phi /sub 0//s was measured. Below the maximum slew rate the linearity between input and output was investigated.

학술연구 : 벤처캐피탈리스트의 지분율 차이가 벤처기업의 IPO 성과에 미치는 영향 (2002)

본 연구는 1997년 1월부터 2000년 12월까지 코스닥 증권시장에 등록한 기업 중 벤처캐피탈리스트 지원기업의 표본 80개와 벤처캐피탈리스트 비 지원기업의 표본 65개를 이용하여 벤처캐피탈리스트의 지분율 차이가 벤처기업의 IPO 성과에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 그 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 벤처캐피탈리스트의 지분참여에 따른 보증효과는 발견되지 않았다. 그러나 벤처기업의 상장초기의 초과수익률은 벤처캐피탈스트의 참여여부가 아니라 참여지분율에 따라 다르게 나타난 것을 발견하였다. 벤처캐피탈리스트를 지분율 별로 세분하여 지분율이 은 기업과 지분율이 큰 기업의 초기 초과수익률을 비교한 결과, 오히려 대체적으로 벤처캐피탈리스트 지원기업의 초기 초과 수익률이 벤처캐피탈리스트 비지원기업보다 높았다. 특히, 벤처캐피탈리스트의 보유지분율이 TYPE 2(17.81≤a≤25.40)와 TYPE 3(25.41%≤a68.33%)일 경우는 그 차이가 통계적으로도 유의하여 벤처캐피탈리스트의 보증효과는 전혀 발견되지 않았다. TYPE 2와 TYPE 3에서 유의적인 차이는 벤처캐피탈리스트 지원기업의 등록시 투자자는 지배구조를 고려하여 기업의 가치를 평가하는 증거로 해석된다. 둘째, 벤처캐피탈리스트의 명성도에 따른 보증효과는 존재하는 것으로 나타났다. IPO 성과에 있어서 벤처캐피탈리스트 지원기업과 벤처캐피탈리스트 비지원기업간의 초기 초과수익률에 유의한 차이가 없었으나, 벤처캐피탈리스트 지원기업간 초기 초과 수익률은 KTB의 참여 업체가 그렇지 못한 업체보다 IPO 초과수익률이 낮고 그 차이도 유의한 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 결과는 벤처캐피탈리스트의 지분참여보다는 벤처캐피탈리스트의 명성도에 의한 보증효과가 존재한다는 것을 시사한다. 셋째, 등록주선인 명성효과는 없었다. 등록주선인의 명성 유무에 따른 기업간의 등록 당일 발행가격 대비 시초가와 종가 모두 수률 면에서 통계적으로 유의한 차이가 발견되지 않았다. 이러한 결과는 우리나라에서는 등록주선인의 명성효과가 존재하지 않는 증거로해석되어진다. 넷째, 등록주선인의 명성효과, 벤처캐피탈리스트의 참여지분율의 차이를 통제한 후에도 벤처캐피탈리스트의 명성도에 따른 보증효과는 존재하는 것으로 나타났다.
Histopathological Study off Time Course Changes in Obstructed Lymphatic Vessels in Rats (2013)

Lymph edema is a chronic debilitating disease that results from impairment of the lymphatic system. There are various causes of lymphatic system impairment, including congenital lymphatic anomaly, infection, lymphatic injury, and surgery. We have been using surgical treatment, lymphaticovenular anastomoses, for patients with severe edema who show little improvement with conservative treatment using an elastic stocking and/or elastic bandage We experienced some cases that improved dramatically and did not require the use of stockings and massages for more than ten years after surgery (data not shown). It is not clear whether it depends on the

Robotized cell remote control using voice commands in natural language (2010)

This paper describes the application of the voice command recognition system for control of the robotized cell consisting of two machine tools, industrial robot and auxiliary devices. Short review of related works by other researchers is presented. Implementation of the voice control system required the robotized cell to be properly adapted. Technical measures, necessary to achieve that goal, have been described. Further, general description of the system architecture follows. As it is assumed that the robotized cell should function according to voice commands formulated in natural language, a great variety of possible command formulations must be taken into account. Solution to that problem has been discussed. Finally, future plans have been presented.
Photochemical oxidation of tetracycline in aqueous solution (1979)

Irradiation of an aqueous solution of tetracycline at pH 9 with u.v. light from a medium pressure mercury lamp (filtered through Pyrex glass to give wavelengths >290 nm) produces a red product with λmax. 534 nm. The red product is only produced in the presence of oxygen, one mole of oxygen being absorbed per mole of tetracycline photolysed. When the photolysis is carried out at ca. 3 °C an intermediate compound is produced (λmax. 357 nm). On warming this irradiated solution the red product is formed in a dark reaction for which the activation energy is 90 kJ mol–1. The red product has a pKa value of 7.6, the protonated form being orange-yellow (λmax. 442 nm). The red product is reduced by sodium dithionite solution to a leuco form which is reoxidised to the original compound by oxygen of the air. The red product is also reduced photochemically; flash photolysis reveals the intermediacy of a semiquinone radical in this process. These properties are typical of a quinone ring system. The spectral and chemical properties of the red product are consistent with its being 4a, 12a-anhydro-4-oxo-4-dedi-methylaminotetracycline. The mechanism of formation of the red product involves photodeamination followed by reaction of the tetracycline radical with molecular oxygen to form a peroxyl radical, which abstracts a hydrogen atom to give a hydroperoxide. Decomposition of the hydroperoxide by loss of water yields an oxo group at position 4. In the final dark reaction, water is lost across the C(4a)–C(12a) bond to form the red quinone.
Danger: T.R. at work. (1983)

State credential processes may require applicant groups to specify the dangers to the public and clients of unregulated practice. A model for the equitable display of therapeutic recreation concerns is proposed as well as a classification of negative worker behaviors. The self-study process described has implications for education, personnel justifications and the development of standards and ethics.
