Nonlinear elastic imaging using reciprocal time reversal and third order symmetry analysis (2012)

This paper presents a nonlinear imaging method for the detection of the nonlinear signature due to impact damage in complex anisotropic solids with diffuse field conditions. The proposed technique, based on a combination of an inverse filtering approach with phase symmetry analysis and frequency modulated excitation signals, is applied to a number of waveforms containing the nonlinear impulse responses of the medium. Phase symmetry analysis was used to characterize the third order nonlinearity of the structure by exploiting its invariant properties with the phase angle of the input waveforms. Then, a "virtual" reciprocal time reversal imaging process, using only one broadcasting transducer and one receiving transducer, was used to insonify the defect taking advantage of multiple linear scattering as mode conversion and boundary reflections. The robustness of this technique was experimentally demonstrated on a damaged sandwich panel, and the nonlinear source, induced by low-velocity impact loading, was retrieved with a high level of accuracy. Its minimal processing requirements make this method a valid alternative to the traditional nonlinear elastic wave spectroscopy techniques for materials showing either classical or non-classical nonlinear behavior.
A note on multiple testing procedures in linkage analysis. (1991)

Controversy over the impact of multiple testing procedures in linkage analysis is reexamined in this report. Despite some recent claims to the contrary, it is shown that testing multiple markers decreases the posterior false-positive rate among significant tests, rather than increasing it; this is true whether the trait of interest is simply monogenic or complex, or even if the genetic model is misspecified. However, if the true mode of inheritance is complex, or if the genetic model is misspecified, the power to obtain a significant result when linkage is present may be reduced, while the significance level is not, leading to an inflation of the posterior false-positive rate. Furthermore, the posterior false-positive rate increases with decreasing sample size and may be unacceptably high for very small samples. By contrast, testing multiple genetic models, by varying either mode-of-inheritance parameters or diagnostic categories, does lead to an inflation of the posterior false-positive rate. A conservative correction for this case is to subtract log10t from the obtained maximum lod score, where t different genetic and/or diagnostic models have been tested.
Scale-factor-stabilized fiber-optic gyroscope by deep phase modulation (1992)

A scale-factor-stabilized fiber-optic gyroscope by deep phase modulation is demonstrated. There are two servo loops included in this system. The first servo loop is used for stabilization of the light intensity output of the fiber-optic gyroscope. The second loop is used to stabilize the phase-modulation index. The third-harmonic frequency of the phase-modulation signal is used for detection of the Sagnac phase shift by the lock-in technique.
ChemInform Abstract: Synthesis and Aggregation Behavior of Chiral Cysteine Amphiphiles with s‐Triazine as Connecting Unit. (1989)

Effects of High Pressure Processing on the Quality of Vacuum Packed Fish Patties (2014)

The objective of this study was to evaluate the use of high pressure processing (HPP) as a preservation method of meat products. Vacuum-packaged fish patties were subjected to HPP (300 MPa for 30 min 15°C or 500 Mpa for 10 min at 15°C). Untreated samples represented the control group. The three groups were stored at 4°C for 0–5 weeks. Color parameters, pH, thiobarbituric (TBARS), bacterial growth, and Oxidation-Reduction Potential (ORP) were determined. The results revealed that the 500-MPa treatment inhibited bacterial growth and extended the shelf-life of fish patties to four weeks with insignificant effects on the physicochemical attributes.

Optical coherence tomography angiography for the detection of macular neovascularization—comparison of en face versus cross-sectional view (2022)

Segmentation errors result in decreased sensitivity for MNV detection on automatically generated OCTA en face images. Cross-sectional OCTA allows detection of MNV without manual modification of segmentation lines and should be used for evaluation of MNV on OCTA.
Influence of Relative Embryonic Volumes during Glycerol Equilibration on the Survival of Frozen-Thawed Equine Blastocysts. (1994)

This study was designed to investigate the relationship between embryonic volume changes in response to addition of glycerol and the in vitro survival of frozen-thawed equine blastocysts. Unexpanded blastocysts (diameter <200 μm; n=9) shrunk rapidly when embryos were transferred in 5 and 10% glycerol solutions at 30 C in 10 min steps. At the end of equilibration in the 10% glycerol solution, the mean embryonic volumes were regained up to 59% of initial values. Expanding blastocysts (diameter 200-300 μm; n=9) shrunk with a rather slower response, and regained 41% of initial volumes. Hatched blastocysts (diameter >300 μm; n=9) shrunk gradually down to 35% of initial volumes. Following the 2-step glycerol equilibration, single embryos loaded into 0.25 ml French-straws were seeded at -6 C and cooled to -35 C at the rate of 0.3 C/min before plunging into liquid nitrogen. The straws were thawed rapidly in 37 C waterbath and glycerol was removed from embryos at 30 C in 10 min 6-steps (8.3, 6.7, 5.0, 3.3, 1.7 and 0%). The embryos were cultured for 48 h in TCM199 + 10% FBS at 37 C under 5% CO2 in air. Severe fractures of embryonic coats (zona pellucida and/or capsule) were found in 0/9 (0%; unexpanded), 2/9 (22%; expanding) and 6/9 (67%; hatched) frozen-thawed embryos. All unexpanded blasto-cysts (9/9, 100%) could develop normally in vitro. Only 5/9 (56%) expanding blastocysts and 2/9 (22%) hatched blastocysts could develop in vitro. The overall survival for embryos with intact or slightly fractured coats were 9/9 (100%), 4/9 (44%), and 2/9 (22%) in unexpanded, expanding, and hatched blastocysts, respectively. The mean values of relative embryonic volumes before freezing were related with post-thaw viability; however, the predictability of freezability of a particular embryo was low.
Fabrication and Test Characterization of Organic Poly(3,"' diallkylquaterthiophene) (PQT-12) Transistors (2006)

Organic thin film transistors (OTFTs) are fabricated as bottom gate, top contact devices unlike conventional integrated circuits. Transistors of various dimensions with a top organic polymer layer that acts as a semiconductor known as poly(3,3” dialkylquater thiophene) (PQT-12) have been fabricated and electrically tested. Two processes have been designed prior to spin coating the PQT polymer: a) four heavily doped boron wafers using the back of the wafer as a gate with aluminum and chrome source/drain metal options and b) five moderately doped boron wafers with molybdenum or chrome gates with aluminum or molyb denum source/drains. The devices fabricated on the heavily doped boron wafers performed unfavorably compared to the devices fabricated with metal gates. The threshold voltages (VT) for the devices that exhibited device transfer characteristics were extrapolated approximately -8.5 to -9.0 V. The devices with wafer gates show that Al as a source/drain metal exhibited high gate leakage where VT occurs between -12.0 V to -25.0 V.
The Effects of Races, Delays, and Delay Faults on Test Generation (1974)

Test sequences constructed by most test generation procedures often create time dependent results when applied to a circuit. These dependencies often invalidate the test. The main cause for this situation is that the test generation procedures and circuit models employed do not take into account many aspects of delay associated with a circuit. In this paper we present modeling techniques to be used by conventional test generation procedures to alleviate some of these problems. These models include the cases of equal, unequal and ambiguous delay values. Both inertial and transport delays are considered. Both static and dynamic output behavior is studied, though we restrict inputs to fundamental mode operation. Finally, a new type of fault, caUed a delay fault, is introduced, and a model developed so that a test to detect this class of fault can be generated via conventional test generation techniques. In summary, this paper attempts to outline procedures and identify problem areas so that test generation is more of a science rather than a hit and miss process, and so that the correctness of results need not always be verified via simulation or physical fault injection.
Three-dimensional curve fitting based on cubic B-spline interpolation curve (2014)

Recent advances in curve fitting have led to substantial improvements in Computer Graphics, achieving a resolution of curve simulation in two dimensions. However, previous research on curve fitting was based on traditional parameterization methods, which could only be appropriate for particular situations. Furthermore, previous studies were only used for two dimensions. Thus, this paper introduces a new dynamic parameterization, points selection methods on point cloud and curve fitting algorithms in 3D. The points selection method utilizes the k-d tree and k-nearest neighbor search technique in PCL to rapidly require the data of points on the surface of a body. Based on those data, the proposed dynamic parameterization method provides parameter viable, many of which cannot be calculated accurately with conventional methods. From the parameter viable, interpolation points are generated by the equation of B-spline curve, and then an interpolation curve can be constructed by those interpolation points. Thus, compared to traditional methods, the proposed algorithm overcomes difficulties in providing predicted function expressions of the fitted curve. The three-dimensional curve-fitting can be used for metrology, medical applications and other aspects in life, and its application enable manufactures to minimize the manual labor costs.
Pd(II)-Catalyzed Amination of C−H Bonds Using Single-Electron or Two-electron Oxidants (2009)

Pd(II)-catalyzed intramolecular amination of arenes is developed using either a one- or two-electron oxidant. The reaction protocol tolerates a wide range of deactivating groups including acetyl, cyano, and nitro groups. This catalytic reaction allows expedient syntheses of broadly useful substituted indolines or indoles.
Primary Human Colonic Myofibroblasts Are Resistant to<i>Clostridium difficile</i>Toxin A-Induced, but Not Toxin B-Induced, Cell Death (2011)

Colonic inflammation in Clostridium difficile infection is mediated by released toxins A and B. We investigated responses to C. difficile toxins A and B by isolated primary human colonic myofibroblasts, which represent a distinct subpopulation of mucosal cells that are normally located below the intestinal epithelium. Following incubation with either purified toxin A or B, there was a change in myofibroblast morphology to stellate cells with processes that were immunoreactive for alpha-smooth muscle actin. Most of the myofibroblasts remained viable, with persistence of stellate morphology, despite exposure to high concentrations (up to 10 μg/ml) of toxin A for 72 h. In contrast, a majority of the toxin B-exposed myofibroblasts lost their processes prior to cell death over 24 to 72 h. At low concentrations, toxin A provided protection against toxin B-induced cell death. Within 4 h, myofibroblasts exposed to either toxin A or toxin B lost expression of the nonglucosylated form of Rac1, and there was also a loss of the active form of RhoA. Despite preexposure to high concentrations of toxin A for 3 h, colonic myofibroblasts were able to recover their morphology and proliferative capacity during prolonged culture in medium. However, toxin B-preexposed myofibroblasts were not able to recover. In conclusion, primary human colonic mucosal myofibroblasts are resistant to toxin A (but not toxin B)-induced cell death. Responses by colonic myofibroblasts may play an important role in mucosal protection, repair, and regeneration in colitis due to C. difficile infection.
INHERITANCE OF A SOYBEAN FLOWERING RESPONSE TO FLUORESCENT-DAYLENGTH CONDITIONS (1971)

The inheritance of flowering time was studied in the short-day soybean, Glycine max (L.) Merr., under long-day conditions in the greenhouse using natural day length extended to 20 hours with cool-white fluorescent light. A single, major gene with two alleles was found to control the flowering response. The dominant allele which gave a fluorescent-sensitive response of delayed flowering also resulted in later field maturity whereas the recessive allele which gave an insensitive response resulted in earlier maturity. The maturity symbols E 3 and e 3 are proposed for these alleles. Isolines have been developed.
Bernhard Clinic meeting need in lesbian sexual health care. (1994)

Whether or not suggestions that one in 10 women are lesbian, the lack of specialist clinics to deal with this group's sexual health care was not obvious when the Bernhard Clinic was set-up two years ago. This article shows that the immediate response was confirmation enough that there is a dire need for more clinics of this type.
The role of experiential value in online shopping (2009)

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to examine whether Pine and Gilmore's four experience realms (4Es) are affected by web site features; the 4Es affect consumer emotional components of pleasure and arousal; and pleasure and arousal lead to enhanced web site patronage intention. Design/methodology/approach For the main experiment, two stimulus web sites reflecting high experiential value and low experiential value were developed. Data were collected in a laboratory setting from 196 participants. An analysis of the causal model was conducted using the maximum‐likelihood estimation procedure of Analysis of Moment Structures (AMOS) for hypotheses testing. Findings Using AMOS, the results indicated that web site features affected the 4Es and three of the 4Es (entertainment, escapist and esthetic experiences) influenced pleasure and/or arousal. Pleasure, arousal, entertainment, and esthetic experiences had direct effects on web site patronage intention. Practical implications The results present an effective way to offer experiential value, which enhances web site patronage intention, to online retailers. Originality/value This is the first empirical research to investigate the holistic process of the effects of product presentation on consumer responses towards an apparel web site that there is a clear need for further study.
Public Expectations and Attitudes for Annual Physical Examinations and Testing (2002)

Public desire for a comprehensive annual physical examination is high across the United States and is sensitive to charges.
Femoral Cortical/Cancellous Bone Related to Age (1990)

The femoral cancellous/cortical relationship with age has been determined in 53 dissected femoral specimens. By means of computed tomography (CT) values related to bone density and mass were assessed in the femoral head, neck, trochanter, shaft, and condyles. In the neck and trochanter separate measures were made in cortical and cancellous bone. The results were analyzed by means of correlation and regression analyses. There were significant negative linear correlations between the CT measures and age for all measures except for the isolated cancellous measures in the femoral neck and trochanter. Our results indicate that in the femoral neck and trochanter the cortical bone mass constitutes a substantial amount of the total bone mass. We conclude that, since bone strength to a large part is a function of the total bone mass, loss of cortical bone may be more important than loss of cancellous bone.
Triptan Therapy in Migraine (2010)

A 23-year-old woman presents with migraine headaches that are unresponsive to analgesics. Triptan therapy is recommended. Triptans are serotonin agonists that were originally thought to provide migraine relief by causing cranial vasoconstriction; other mechanisms are now also proposed. Chest pain is a common side effect, but cardiac ischemia is rare and usually associated with known cardiovascular disease or risk factors.
The South Korean Government at the beginnin of 2004; President Roh's challenges (2004)

10‐Alkyl‐10‐demethylcolchicines (1996)

Abstract It is shown that colchicine ( 4 ) can regiospecifically be transetherified at C(10) by heating in ROH in the presence of (RO) 4 M (M = Ti, Zr; cf. Scheme 2 ). (PrO) 4 Zr in PrOH gives better yields than (PrO) 4 Ti in PrOH, and also in the catalytic variant of the conversion is (PrO) 4 Zr more effective than (PrO) 4 Ti.
DESIGN OF REAL-TIME SITE OPERATIONS CONTROL FOR IN-PLACE ASPHALT PAVEMENT RECYCLING (1994)

Recent improvements in computer technology have advanced industrial processes toward more autonomous control, with opportunities that offer superior handling, reliability, and enhanced overall quality. Although the highway construction process has advanced over the years as a result of rapid improvements in material technology, the on-site construction process still remains, for the most part manual. This is attributed primarily to the variability that exists on the road sites, creating situations that, under normal circumstances, are difficult to project and replicate from site to site. The use of automated equipment for hot in-place asphalt resurfacing is discussed as a modern technique that has advanced and provides the potential for further automation and improvements to current in-place technology. Breakthroughs that have been achieved by the authors toward improving this particular site process through real-time data handling are also discussed. The specific approaches are addressed that have been taken to automate and improve the process by incorporating the development of a nondestructive field-sensing process for identifying pavement and material characteristics, a blackboard procedure for field decision making based on real-time decision response to field conditions and information, and computerized process control that allows the integration of these new technologies with present equipment technology.
Bilateral adrenal hemorrhage due to heparin-induced thrombocytopenia following partial nephrectomy – a case report (2014)

Heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT) can cause severe life-threatening events such as bilateral adrenal hemorrhage (BAH). A 48-year-old female developed a pulmonary embolus (PE) following partial nephrectomy. The anticoagulation treatment for her PE was complicated by HIT and subsequent BAH. To the author's knowledge, this is the first reported case of HIT-associated BAH following renal surgery.
Chemotherapy alone versus endocrine therapy alone for metastatic breast cancer (2003)

In women with metastatic breast cancer and where hormone receptors are present, a policy of treating first with endocrine therapy rather than chemotherapy is recommended except in the presence of rapidly progressive disease.
<i>Hendersonula toruloidea</i>and<i>Scytalidium hyalinum</i>infections in London, England (1986)

In a survey of 399 patients with superficial fungal lesions who had been born outside Western Europe, 32 cases of Hendersonula toruloidea infection and 11 cases of Scytalidium hyalinum infection were diagnosed. The hyphae of these two non-dermatophytes in skin were indistinguishable from each other but could be distinguished from those of dermatophytes. Both the non-dermatophyte infections were limited to the palms, soles, two webs and nails. The geographical origins of the infected patients were analysed and it appeared that S. hyalinum infection was geographically more limited than H. toruloidea infection.
