Hybridal Method for the Prediction of Wave Instabilities Inherent in High Energy-Density Combustors (2): Cumulative Effects of Pressure Coupled Responses on Cavity Acoustics (2006)

Theoretical-numerical approach of combustion instability in a specific rocket engine is conducted with parametric response functions. Fluctuating instantaneous burning rate is assumed to be functionally coupled with acoustic pressures and have a finite or time-varying amplitudes and phase lags. Only when the amplitudes and phases of combustion response function are sufficiently large and small respectively, the triggered unstable waves are amplified.
Environmental technology transfer and commercial viability: a synthesis of three case studies (2005)

Based on a "Model for Preparing Case Studies of Environmental Technology Transfer", three case studies are developed to contribute insights on the development and commercialisation of environmental technology. Two cases address soil and groundwater contamination: Dynamic Underground Stripping (DUS) developed by Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory and Gravity Pressure Vessel (GPV) by GeneSyst International. The third case: Biodiesel Fuel (BIO), produced by Biodiesel Industries and Pacific Biodiesel, is a diesel fuel substitute. A synthesis across the research model above is provided, along with critical success factors for these examples of environmental technology commercialisation.
The Lanchester–Betz–Joukowsky limit (2007)

Abstract The maximum efficiency of an ideal wind turbine rotor is well known as the ‘Betz limit’, named after the German scientist that formulated this maximum in 1920. In 1976, Bergey showed that the British scientist Lanchester derived the same maximum already in 1915. Betz and Lanchester were representatives of leading aerodynamic research schools in the first decades of the previous century. A study of early Russian publications on rotor aerodynamics now shows that the Russian aerodynamic school also produced the same result; its leader Joukowsky derived the maximum efficiency for an ideal wind turbine in 1920, the same year as Betz did. Consequently, in order to honour all, this ideal efficiency should be named the ‘Lanchester‐Betz‐Joukowsky limit’ in scientific writing. The well‐established and convenient name Betz limit is to be considered an easy abbreviation of this full name. Copyright © 2007 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
Three-Dimensional DNA Crystals as Molecular Sieves (2006)

DNA has proved to be a successful nanoscale building block because of its inherent programmability and its predictable structural features. One long-standing goal of DNA nanotechnology has been the rational design and assembly of three-dimensional (3D) DNA crystals for use as molecular scaffolds, in molecular electronics assembly, and as molecular sieves. Here we demonstrate that rationally designed 3D DNA crystals with mesoporous features can function as molecular sieves by selectively adsorbing proteins based on size.
Electrical characteristics of interconnections for high-performance systems (1998)

A review is presented of the electrical characteristics of high-density, high-performance interconnections used in digital and communication applications. These interconnections behave as lossy transmission lines for the frequency range of interest. A brief theoretical explanation of the key properties of lossy, coupled transmission lines is given. A new short-pulse propagation technique used for characterizing a large category of wiring is described. A detailed description is made of each of the major interconnect types encountered namely, shielded cables, printed circuit boards, ceramic carriers, thin-film wiring, and on-chip wiring. Representative examples are given in each case to highlight the key performance-limiting parameters. The modeling and measurement techniques used are explained and examples are given. Future technological directions and their effect on performance are discussed.
Die Lungenhypoplasie als Komplikation beim prolongierten, vorzeitigen Blasensprung vor der 24. Schwangerschaftswoche (1992)

We examined 4 gravidae with rupture of membranes before the 24th week of gestation. In contrast to pathophysiological models we observed fetal respiratory movements and a reduced amount of amniotic fluid in all patients.
Global Topology Analysis of the <i>Escherichia coli</i> Inner Membrane Proteome (2005)

The protein complement of cellular membranes is notoriously resistant to standard proteomic analysis and structural studies. As a result, membrane proteomes remain ill-defined. Here, we report a global topology analysis of the Escherichia coli inner membrane proteome. Using C-terminal tagging with the alkaline phosphatase and green fluorescent protein, we established the periplasmic or cytoplasmic locations of the C termini for 601 inner membrane proteins. By constraining a topology prediction algorithm with this data, we derived high-quality topology models for the 601 proteins, providing a firm foundation for future functional studies of this and other membrane proteomes. We also estimated the overexpression potential for 397 green fluorescent protein fusions; the results suggest that a large fraction of all inner membrane proteins can be produced in sufficient quantities for biochemical and structural work.
Determinants of brand loyalty: self-construal, self-expressive brands, and brand attachment (2014)

The purpose of this paper was to explore the relationships among self-construal, self-expressive brands, and brand attachment with an emphasis on understanding the link to brand loyalty in US college students (219 women; 41 men; mean age = 21.0). As a result, out of seven hypotheses, six hypotheses were accepted. Independent/interdependent self-construal is positively related to self-expressive brand. Self-expressive brand is positively related to ownership/emotion brand attachment. Ownership/emotion brand attachment is positively related to brand loyalty. Finally, self-expressive brand is positively related to brand loyalty. Results supported propositions of relationship theory and provided practical implications.
Detection of dengue virus in saliva and urine by real time RT-PCR (2010)

Early diagnosis of dengue virus (DENV) infection is important for patient management and control of dengue outbreaks. The objective of this study was to analyze the usefulness of urine and saliva samples for early diagnosis of DENV infection by real time RT-PCR. Two febrile patients, who have been attended at the General Hospital of the School of Medicine of Ribeirao Preto, Sao Paulo University were included in the study. Serum, urine and saliva samples collected from both patients were subjected to real time RT-PCR for DENV detection and quantification. Dengue RNA was detected in serum, urine and saliva samples of both patients. Patient 1 was infected with DENV-2 and patient 2 with DENV-3. Data presented in this study suggest that urine and saliva could be used as alternative samples for early diagnosis of dengue virus infection when blood samples are difficult to obtain, e.g., in newborns and patients with hemorrhagic syndromes.
An Approach to Understand the End User Behavior through Log Analysis (2010)

Categorizing the end user in the web environment is a mindnumbing task. Huge amount of operational data is generated when end user interacts in web environment. This generated operational data is stored in various logs and may be useful source of capturing the end user activates. Pointing out the suspicious user in a web environment is a challenging task. To conduct efficient investigation in cyber space the available logs should be correlated. In this paper a prototype system is developed and implemented which is based on relational algebra to build the chain of evidence. The prototype system is used to preprocess the real generated data from logs and classify the suspicious user based on decision tree. At last various challenges in the logs managements are presented.

Progress in Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor. (2000)

Vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF) induces angiogenesis as well as permeability of blood vessels,and plays a central role in the regulation of vasculogenesis.Five VEGF isoforms (VEGF 121～206 ) are produced from a single VEGF gene by alternative splicing of the VEGF mRNA.The regulation of angiogenesis induced by VEGF and how to inhibit its effects arouse great interests.The function of VEGF in angiogenesis regulation was reviewed in several aspects.
Permanently altered hippocampal structure, excitability, and inhibition after experimental status epilepticus in the rat: The “dormant basket cell” hypothesis and its possible relevance to temporal lobe epilepsy (1991)

The relationship between an episode of status epilepticus, the resulting hippocampal pathology, and the subsequent development of pathophysiological changes possibly relevant to human epilepsy was explored using the experimental epilepsy model of perforant path stimulation in the rat. Granule cell hyperexcitability and decreased feedforward and feedback inhibition were evident immediately after 24 hours of intermittent perforant path stimulation and persisted relatively unchanged for more than 1 year. All of the pathophysiological changes induced by perforant path stimulation were replicated in normal animals by a subconvulsive dose of bicuculline, suggesting that the permanent "epileptiform" abnormalities produced by sustained perforant path stimulation may be due to decreased GABA-mediated inhibition. Granule cell pathophysiology was seen only in animals that exhibited a loss of adjacent dentate hilar mossy cells and hilar somatostatin/neuropeptide Y-immunoreactive neurons. GABA-immunoreactive dentate basket cells survived despite the extensive loss of adjacent hilar neurons. However, parvalbumin immunoreactivity, present normally in a subpopulation of GABA-immunoreactive dentate basket cells, was absent on the stimulated side. Whether this represents decreased parvalbumin synthesis in surviving basket cells or a loss of a specific subset of inhibitory cells is unclear. Hyperexcitability and decreased paired-pulse inhibition in response to ipsilateral perforant path stimulation were also present in the CA1 pyramidal cell layer on the previously stimulated side, despite minimal damage to CA1 pyramidal cells or interneurons. The possibility that CA1 inhibitory neurons were hypofunctional or "dormant" due to a loss of excitatory input to inhibitory cells from damaged CA3 pyramidal cells was tested by stimulating the contralateral perforant path in order to activate the same CA1 basket cells via different inputs. Contralateral stimulation evoked CA1 pyramidal cell paired-pulse inhibition immediately in the previously stimulated hippocampus. Thus, we propose the "dormant basket cell" hypothesis, which implies that despite malfunction, inhibitory systems remain intact in "epileptic" tissue and are capable of functioning if appropriately activated.
The Road to Anglo-Japanese Confrontation, 1931–41 (2000)

Despite the termination of the Anglo-Japanese alliance in 1923, relations between Britain and Japan remained stable, if not as close as they had once been until the end of the 1920s. However, from the start of the Manchurian Crisis in September 1931 the friendship between the two countries began to disintegrate, and they entered into a prolonged period of mutual antipathy which eventually culminated in the Japanese assault on Britain’s Eastern Empire on 8 December 1941. There were intermittent attempts during this troubled decade to address and overcome these feelings of hostility and to find a new common ground, and this subject has become central to the historiography of Anglo-Japanese relations in this period. Much of the literature has dealt in particular with the attempts at reconciliation between 1933 and 1937, and some Japanese scholars have gone so far as to contend that Britain tried during these years to appease Japan, but that the latter refused to accept its overtures. There is, however, a danger in focusing on how close Britain and Japan came to a rapprochement; that is, that one can forget just how serious were the political, strategical, economic and ideological factors that drove them apart. The object of this chapter is to study these divisions and account for the inability of the two states to overcome them.
Regulation of mucin expression in respiratory diseases (2009)

Respiratory diseases such as asthma and COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease) are characterized by increased numbers of goblet cells and excessive mucus production, which contribute to the underlying disease pathology. Mucins form a major component of the mucus contributing to its viscoelastic properties, and in the airways the mucins MUC5AC and MUC5B are found at increased levels in both asthmatic and COPD subjects. A diverse range of stimuli have been shown to regulate MUC5AC expression and cause increases in the number of mucus-producing goblet cells. Perhaps the best characterized of these mediators is the cytokine IL (interleukin)-13, which causes increases in MUC5AC-expressing goblet cells in the airways. Several transcription factors have been linked with goblet cell formation and mucus production and include STAT6 (signal transducer and activator of transcription 6), FOXA2 (forkhead box A2) and the SPDEF [SAM (sterile alpha motif) domain-containing prostate-derived Ets factor]. In mouse airways, goblet cells are normally rare or absent, but increase rapidly in number in response to certain stimuli. The origins of these goblet cells are not well understood, although Clara cells and ciliated cells have been implicated as goblet cell progenitors. An understanding of the origin and processes regulating goblet cell formation in human airway epithelial cells has important implications for the identification of therapeutic targets to treat respiratory diseases.
Identification of the machine parameters in a vector controlled induction motor drive (2003)

A method for the online identification of the parameters of an induction machine is described. This method requires the actual value of the rotor time constant as essential system information, on the basis of which the magnitude and the position of the rotor flux is calculated. An online identification technique for the rotor time constant and other machine parameters is described. The identification is based on an evaluation of the stator current trajectory as the dynamic response of the induction motor to the pulse-width modulation (PWM) switching sequence. An analytical machine model is operated in parallel with the stator voltages and the mechanical speed of the induction motor as input signals. The coincidence of the two stator current trajectories of the model and the machine serves as an error indicator for the parameter identification scheme, permitting repetitive updates of the model parameters.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>
Prevalence of Underprescription or Overprescription of Energy Needs in Critically Ill Mechanically Ventilated Adults as Determined by Indirect Calorimetry (2015)

Large discrepancies exist between predictive equation estimates and indirect calorimetry measurements in individuals and groups. Further research is needed to determine the influence of indirect calorimetry and predictive equation limitations in contributing to these observed differences.

Hierarchical control programs for systems evaluation (1968)

The task of testing a complete operating and computing system has become increasingly difficult, primarily because of the growing complexity of today's systems. An operating system consists of a control program and a set of job programs; a computing system consists of at least one processing unit and various channels, control units, and input/output devices. Not only must each program and system device be individually tested to assure proper functioning, but the various interfaces between programs in the operating system and devices in the computing system must also be tested. Finally, all parts of the system must be pulled together for the complete systems test required to gauge the performance of the system and to check the functional relationship among operator, operating system, and computing system.
Embryo Elongation and Germination Rates as Sensitive Indicators of Lettuce Seed Quality: Priming and Aging Studies (1999)

High-quality seed lots are required for successful establishment of horticultural crops. Testing methods are needed that can detect the early phases of aging prior to a significant loss in germination. Quality was assessed using both germination speed and uniformity on non-primed and primed, as well as non-aged and aged, lettuce ( Lactuca sativa L.) seed. Speed and uniformity were quantified using time to 50% (T 50 ) germination and one standard deviation (T sd ), respectively. Embryo elongation was developed as a rapid test by first soaking seeds for 2 hours, then cutting and removing the distal one-third of the seed, and finally observing the percentage of visibly elongated embryos from the seed coverings over time. The mild aging conditions employed in this study (45 °C and 50% relative humidity for up to 21 days) had little influence on viability (germination in all treatments was >98%), but reduced germination rate (increased the time for T 50 and T sd ). Primed seeds aged faster than non-primed seeds under the same aging conditions. The percentage of elongated embryos was calculated at hourly intervals after cutting, and treatment differences were observed after a total hydration period of 5 hours. The embryo elongation test detected aging in both primed and non-primed treatments.
MEMS Based Broadband Piezoelectric Ultrasonic Energy Harvester (PUEH) for Enabling Self-Powered Implantable Biomedical Devices (2016)

Acoustic energy transfer is a promising energy harvesting technology candidate for implantable biomedical devices. However, it does not show competitive strength for enabling self-powered implantable biomedical devices due to two issues - large size of bulk piezoelectric ultrasound transducers and output power fluctuation with transferred distance due to standing wave. Here we report a microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) based broadband piezoelectric ultrasonic energy harvester (PUEH) to enable self-powered implantable biomedical devices. The PUEH is a microfabricated lead zirconate titanate (PZT) diaphragm array and has wide operation bandwidth. By adjusting frequency of the input ultrasound wave within the operation bandwidth, standing wave effect can be minimized for any given distances. For example, at 1 cm distance, power density can be increased from 0.59 μW/cm(2) to 3.75 μW/cm(2) at input ultrasound intensity of 1 mW/cm(2) when frequency changes from 250 to 240 kHz. Due to the difference of human body and manual surgical process, distance fluctuation for implantable biomedical devices is unavoidable and it strongly affects the coupling efficiency. This issue can be overcome by performing frequency adjustment of the PUEH. The proposed PUEH shows great potential to be integrated on an implanted biomedical device chip as power source for various applications.
Cardiomyopathy and Exercise Intolerance in Muscle Glycogen Storage Disease 0 (2007)

Storage of glycogen is essential for glucose homeostasis and for energy supply during bursts of activity and sustained muscle work. We describe three siblings with profound muscle and heart glycogen deficiency caused by a homozygous stop mutation (R462-->ter) in the muscle glycogen synthase gene. The oldest brother died from sudden cardiac arrest at the age of 10.5 years. Two years later, an 11-year-old brother showed muscle fatigability, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, and an abnormal heart rate and blood pressure while exercising; a 2-year-old sister had no symptoms. In muscle-biopsy specimens obtained from the two younger siblings, there was lack of glycogen, predominance of oxidative fibers, and mitochondrial proliferation. Glucose tolerance was normal.

Tiamulin selectively inhibits oxidative hepatic steroid and drug metabolism in vitro in the pig (1994)

The simultaneous use of the antibiotic tiamulin with certain ionophoric antibiotics (monensin, salinomycin) may give rise to a toxic interaction in pigs and poultry. In the present study, effects of tiamulin on hepatic cytochrome P450 activities in vitro were studied using pig liver microsomes. When tiamulin was added to the incubation medium the N-demethylation rate of ethylmorphine and the hydroxylation of testosterone at the 6 beta- and 11 alpha-positions was strongly inhibited. Tiamulin inhibited these activities more than SKF525A or cimetidine, but less than ketoconazole. The microsomal N-demethylation rate of erythromycin and the hydroxylation of testosterone at the 2 beta-position were inhibited to a lesser degree, whereas the ethoxyresorufin-O-deethylation, aniline hydroxylation and testosterone hydroxylations at the 15 alpha- and 15 beta-positions were not affected by tiamulin. No in vitro complexation by tiamulin of cytochrome P450 resulting in a loss of CO-binding capacity could be demonstrated. Results from the present study suggest a selective inhibition of cytochrome P450 enzymes in pigs, probably belonging to the P4503A subfamily. The mechanism of this interaction is still unclear. However, interactions between tiamulin and those veterinary drugs or endogenous compounds which undergo oxidative metabolism by P450 enzymes must be considered. More research is needed to reveal which of the P450 enzymes are affected by tiamulin in order to improve the understanding and probably the predictability of this interaction.
Synthesis of Organoselenium-Modifiedβ-Cyclodextrins Possessing a 1,2-Benzisoselenazol-3(2H)-one Moiety and Their Enzyme-Mimic Study (2002)

Six novel H2O-soluble β-cyclodextrin derivatives containing a 1,2-benzisoselenazol-3(2H)-one moiety were synthesized by a convenient method in 25–60% yield and characterized by MS, elemental analysis, IR, 1H-NMR, and UV/VIS spectroscopy. The conformations of these β-cyclodextrin derivatives 1–6 were analyzed by circular dichroism and fluorescence-lifetime experiments. The superoxide dismutase (SOD) activities of 1–6 were determined by auto-oxidation of pyrogallol at 25.0° in buffer solution (pH 8.2), giving relatively high SOD activities of up to 121–330 U/mg. Also, the glutathione peroxidase (GPX) activities of hosts 1–6, determined by the method of Wilson at 37° in buffer solution (pH 7.0), show good GPX activities in the range of 0.34–0.86 U/μmol. The mimicking results of the bifunctional artificial enzyme models 1–6 were globally compared with regard to their structural and conformational difference.
