Nucleoside triphosphate regeneration decreases the frequency of translation errors. (1979)

The addition of naturally occurring polyamines and inorganic ions to an in vitro protein-synthesizing system improved the extent and fidelity of translation. In such an optimized system, regeneration of the nucleoside triphosphates with phosphoenolpyruvate and pyruvate kinase (ATP:pyruvate 2-O-phosphotransferase, EC 2.7.1.40) reduced further the missense error frequency to the in vivo level as well as enhanced the extent of translation. The effect of nucleoside triphosphate regeneration was shown to be due primarily to the increase in the ratio of adenosine and guanosine triphosphates to their hydrolysis products and only marginally due to the increase in the absolute concentrations of the nucleoside triphosphates.

Multi-antenna wireless base stations in TD/CDMA communications systems (2002)

Transmission and reception techniques for a multi-antenna wireless base station (WBS) operating in a TD/CDMA communications system are developed and examined power-efficient provision of radio coverage, a low interference contribution and compatibility considerations of the WBS to standard mobile stations (MS) are of special interest. A generalized TD/CDMA system model is introduced, which allows the description of single- and multi-antenna transmitters and receivers and can be parameterized with different transmission techniques. Link-level simulations of different WBS uplink (UL) and downlink (DL) connections are used to identify the most suitable WBS transmission and reception techniques.
Serum Growth Hormone Concentrations after Growth Hormone or Thyrotropin Releasing Hormone in Cows (1977)

A single subcutaneous injection of 10, 50, or 100 mg bovine growth hormone into lactating Holstein cows increased concentrations of growth hormone, insulin, and glucose in serum above preinjection baselines for at least 16 h. Growth hormone concentrations in serum after injection of growth hormone or thyrotropin-releasing hormone were greater in cows during early (2 to 4 mo) as compared with cows during late (8 to 12 mo) lactation. Stage of lactation did not affect rate of metabolic clearance of growth hormone in eight cows, but larger cows cleared growth hormone more rapidly than smaller cows. Data of these experiments may help to explain how injections of growth hormone every 3 days stimulate milk yields.
Size-dependent properties of CdSe quantum dots (2005)

Temperature dependences of the magnetic susceptibility $\ensuremath{\chi}$ and heat capacity ${C}_{p}$ of CdSe quantum dots with size $d=2.8$, 4.1, and 5.6 nm are compared to those of bulk CdSe to determine the size-dependent effects. With decreasing size $d$, the following effects are observed: (i) room temperature optical absorption shows a blueshift of the band gap; (ii) room temperature x-ray diffraction show wurtzite structure but with smaller lattice constants; (iii) magnetic susceptibility changes from negative (diamagnetic) for the bulk to positive $\ensuremath{\chi}$ with magnitude increasing with decreasing $d$; and (iv) the Sommerfeld constant $\ensuremath{\gamma}$ determined from the ${C}_{p}∕T$ vs ${T}^{2}$ data increases. Possible explanations for these size-dependent properties are presented.
A 320 mW 342 GOPS Real-Time Dynamic Object Recognition Processor for HD 720p Video Streams (2012)

A heterogeneous multi-core processor is proposed to achieve real-time dynamic object recognition on HD 720p video streams. The context-aware visual attention model is proposed to reduce the required computing power for HD object recognition based on enhanced attention accuracy. In order to realize real-time execution of the proposed algorithm, the processor adopts a 5-stage task-level pipeline that maximizes the utilization of its 31 heterogeneous cores, comprising four simultaneous multithreading feature extraction clusters, a cache-based feature matching processor and a machine learning engine. Dynamic resource management is applied to adaptively tune thread allocation and power management during execution based on the detected amount of tasks and hardware utilization to increase energy efficiency. As a result, the 32 mm <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">2</sup> chip, fabricated in 0.13 μm CMOS technology, achieves 30 frame/sec with 342 8-bit GOPS peak performance and 320 mW average power dissipation, which are a 2.72 times performance improvement and 2.54 times per-pixel energy reduction compared to the previous state-of-the-art.
Mechanisms and consequences of salt sensitivity and dietary salt intake (2010)

There is growing appreciation that, independently of alterations in blood pressure, dietary intake of sodium and potassium promotes functional changes in the vasculature and lymphatic system. These changes may protect against development of salt-sensitive hypertension. While salt sensitivity cannot be ascribed exclusively to these factors, perturbation of these processes promotes hypertension during high-salt intake. These studies add to the list of genetic and environmental factors that are associated with salt sensitivity, but in particular provide insight into adaptive mechanisms during high salt intake.
Diffusion Bonding of Alloy Titanium for Pressure Hull Fabrication. (1973)

A diffusion bonding investigation of alpha-beta forded and alpha-beta rolled Ti-6Al-2Cb-1Ta-0.8Mo alloy titanium was undertaken as a first step in determining the feasibility of using out-of-chamber diffusion bonding for pressure hull fabrication. It was found that the mill processing history significantly affected the parameters necessary for bonding. The higher creep rate of the rolled material was primarily responsible for obtaining quality bonding at lower temperatures. It was also found that a total sample compression of more than 0.7% was necessary to obtain quality diffusion bonds. (Modified author abstract)
A fast retransmission mechanism in power line communication network (2008)

Broadband power line communications (BPLC) network is regarded as a promising technology to provide high quality audio/video services in digital homes. However, the frequency and time-varying characteristics of the channel in PLC network will cause unpredictable packet loss during the transmission, so that the retransmission is inevitable in order to guarantee the service integrity. This paper proposes a fast retransmission method by introducing the internal node to join the work of retransmission based on the packet loss indication from the destination node. The proposed mechanism can be deployed in the system suffered with burst or constant packet loss. Comparing with the traditional retransmission method which totally relies on the source node, the proposed mechanism can reduce the retransmission step and improve the target packet hit rate for both unicast and multicast services.
Suppression of chronic streptococcal cell wall‐induced arthritis in Lewis rats by liposomal clodronate (2001)

Transdermal patches fabricated from hyaluronic acid for the enhanced skin penetration of therapeutic entities (2019)

Skin is an attractive route for drug delivery. However poor permeation of drugs across the skin due to the presence of extremely ordered architecture of outermost layer of skin, led to several investigation to improve the permeability of drugs. Polysaccharides remain widely studied biomaterial for the sustained delivery of drug molecules across the skin. The advance of hyaluronic acid (HA) chemistry with multiple benefits has improved the attention of research groups for its application in the skin transportation of drug molecules. Beginning from the advantages of transdermal route, the present review details the application of HA in transdermal drug delivery. In the last few decades, substantial investigation in the domain has improved the requirement for an outline of all the developments, which is depicted in the review. The review also presented different types of HA based transdermal devices such as transferosomes, nanoemulsions, microneedle etc and their potential to improve the transdermal drug delivery. Furthermore the application of HA through chemical modification as a potential transdermal device is also presented. Keywords: Hyaluronic acid, transdermal drug delivery, microneedles, nanoemulsion, hydrogel
Two Blind Mice: Sight, Insight, and Narrative Authority in Arthur Conan Doyle’s The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes (2013)

In this essay, I explore Doyle's narrative techniques, arguing that he focalizes the plot through three distinct narrative perspectives--Watson, Holmes' client, and Holmes himself--to embody three different modes of seeing.  I argue that Holmes gains narrative authority through his omniscience, and, as he is the only character who is truly able to 'see,' he is the only one with the power to enact and propel the narrative.
Accelerated DPDK in containers for networking nodes (2019)

NFV is fast moving towards containers for software virtualization and thereby imposing stringent requirements on container networking. The current status of networking in containers is quite limited especially for fast packet processing and needs further exploration. The thesis is a comprehensive study on container networking for fast packet processing in standalone and orchestrated environments. Existing technologies such as DPDK and SR-IOV are utilized along with OvS and OVN to build different topologies and measure network latency. Utilizing these results and taking into account the hardware features supported by different nodes in an orchestrated environment, the thesis further proposes a latency based scheduler that can meet the network latency requirements of container applications being deployed.
Reduction of Blocking Artifacts for HDTV using Offset-and-Shift Technique (2007)

This paper addresses an effective postprocessing technique to remove blocking artifacts, which severely degrade visual quality in block-based image coding. The proposed algorithm classifies blocks into four types based on directional activity and removes the blocking artifacts while preserving edges and texture information by applying different types and strength of filter for each block type. Moreover, the proposed scheme includes a two-dimensional filtering method in order to remove staircase noises and corner outliers around diagonal and curved edges. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm outperforms a number of deblocking methods in the literature in terms of PSNR and subjective visual quality. Furthermore, the execution time of the proposed algorithm takes less than that of the other methods, and thus it can be incorporated into real-time applications for moving pictures as well as still images.
Autosomal dominant system degeneration in Portuguese families of the Azores Islands (1978)

We studied 40 patients in 15 families from the Portuguese Azores Islands. Each family was affected by an autosomal dominant genetic disorder. Symptoms began between ages 20 and 50. Ataxia, ophthalmoplegia, pyramidal signs, dystonia, rigidity, and distal atrophy were the major clinical findings. Evidence suggested that this was a single genetic disease, with variable phenotypic expression. Machado disease, nigrospinodentatal degeneration with nuclear ophthalmoplegia, and autosomal dominant striatonigral degeneration may be variations of this same genetic disease.
Neural Network Based Retinal Image Analysis (2008)

Diabetic-retinopathy contributes to serious health problem in many parts of the world. With the motivation of the needs of the medical community system for early screening of diabetics and other diseases a computer aided diagnosis system is proposed. This work is aimed to develop an automated system to analyze the retinal images for important features of diabetic retinopathy using image processing techniques and an image classifier based on artificial neural network which classify the images according to the disease conditions. The consistent identifying and quantifying of changes in blood vessels and different findings such as exudates in the retina over time can be used for the early detection of diabetic retinopathy. The algorithm has been tested on an image data base and the results are presented. Vascular network, optic disc and lesions like exudates are identified. A neural network classifier is developed and a comparative study on the performance is also presented.
A logical data model for integrated geographical databases (2002)

An approach to the design and the development of geographical database systems based on the integration of different specialized databases is investigated. This approach is supported by an extension of the relational model which makes it possible to separate interaction issues from integration issues, guaranteeing independence between the logical level and the physical level. The introduced extended logical model guarantees to the user a uniform and expressive view of geographical entities, while making it possible to refer to them and access them through both descriptive and geometrical/spatial characteristics. On the other hand, the logical model gives the designer a formal methodology and formal framework for the correct specification of the geographical information at the logical level.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>
Targeting the Tumour: Cell Penetrating Peptides for Molecular Imaging and Radiotherapy (2010)

Over the last couple of years, the number of original papers and reviews discussing various applications of cell penetrating peptides (CPPs) has grown exponentially. This is not remarkable since CPPs are capable of transporting the most varying cargo across cell membranes which is one of the biggest problems in drug delivery and targeted therapy. In this review, we focus on the use of CPPs and related peptides for delivery of imaging contrast agents and radionuclides to cells and tissues with the ultimate goal of <i>in vivo</i> molecular imaging and molecular radiotherapy of intracellular and even intranuclear targets.

Combined Sewer Overflows to Surface Waters Detected by the Anthropogenic Marker Caffeine (2006)

Continuous progress in wastewater treatment technology and the growing number of households connected to wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) have generally resulted in decreased environmental loading of many pollutants. Nonetheless, further reduction of pollutant inputs is required to improve the quality of surface waters in densely populated areas. In this context, the relative contribution of combined sewer overflows as sources of wastewater-derived contaminants has attracted more and more attention, but the quantitative importance of these overflows has barely been investigated. In this study, caffeine was successfully used as a chemical marker to estimate the fraction of sewer overflows in the catchment area of lake Greifensee, Switzerland. Caffeine is a ubiquitous compound in raw, domestic wastewater with typical per capita loads of approximately 16 mg person(-1) d(-1). In WWTPs of the Greifensee region, caffeine is largely eliminated (>99%), resulting in much smaller loads of < or = 0.15 mg person(-1) d(-1) in treated wastewater. However, in receiving streams as in the inflows to Greifensee, caffeine loads (0.1-1.6 mg person(-1) d(-1)) were higher than those in WWTP effluents, indicating additional sources. As the loads in the streams correlated with precipitation during sampling, it was concluded that combined sewer overflows were the most likely source of caffeine. Using a mass balance approach, it was possible to determine the fraction of wastewater (in dry weather equivalents) discharged untreated to the receiving streams (up to 10%, annual mean, approximately 2-3%). The concept of caffeine as a marker for combined sewer overflows was then applied to estimate phosphorus inputs to Greifensee with untreated and treated wastewater (approximately 1.5 and 2.0 t P y(-1), respectively), which corresponded well with P inputs determined in a separate study based on hydraulic considerations. For compounds with high elimination in WWTPs such as phosphorus (96-98% in the Greifensee area), inputs from combined sewer overflows are thus of similar magnitude as inputs from treated wastewater. The study demonstrated that caffeine is a suitable marker for untreated wastewater (from combined sewer overflows, direct discharges, etc.), but its sensitivity depends on regional conditions and decreases with decreasing elimination efficiency in WWTPs.

Mathematics Education in Nigeria: (2011)

Mathematics is an essential course for scientific and technological development of any country. Literature indicates low enrolment of students in Mathematics Education when compared with other courses in Social Sciences and Arts, especially at the tertiary level of Education. This development is viewed with grave concern for teaching and learning of Mathematics in schools. In view of this, the study examines the spatial and gender patterns of students’ enrolment for Mathematics Education in Nigerian Universities. This is with a view to identifying areas of deficiencies in order to adopt appropriate strategies in teaching and learning of Mathematics and improve the enrolment for Mathematics Education in Nigerian Universities. The study obtained data from six Universities randomly selected from each of the six geo-political zones in Nigeria. The data collected were analyzed using both the descriptive and inferential statistics. The results show significant gender and spatial differences in the enrolment for Mathematics Education in Nigerian Universities. Based on these findings, the study recommends some strategies for bridging the gap in students’ enrolment for Mathematics Education. These include provision of incentives and counseling services to students at both secondary and tertiary levels of Education.
Prevention of Co-operative Black Hole Attack in MANET (2008)

A mobile ad hoc network (MANET) is an autonomous network that consists of mobile nodes that communicate with each other over wireless links. In the absence of a fixed infrastructure, nodes have to cooperate in order to provide the necessary network functionality. One of the principal routing protocols used in Ad hoc networks is AODV (Ad hoc On demand Distance Vector) protocol. The security of the AODV protocol is compromised by a particular type of attack called ‘Black Hole’ attack In this attack a malicious node advertises itself as having the shortest path to the node whose packets it wants to intercept. To reduce the probability it is proposed to wait and check the replies from all the neighboring nodes to find a safe route. Our approach to combat the Black hole attack is to make use of a ‘Fidelity Table’ wherein every participating node will be assigned a fidelity level that acts as a measure of reliability of that node. In case the level of any node drops to 0, it is considered to be a malicious node, termed as a ‘Black hole’ and is eliminated. Computer simulation using GLOMOSIM shows that our protocol provides better security and also better performance in terms of packet delivery than the conventional AODV in the presence of Black holes with minimal additional delay and Overhead.
