Network Edge Intelligence for the Emerging Next-Generation Internet (2010)

The success of the Content Delivery Networks (CDN) in the recent years has demonstrated the increased benefits of the deployment of some form of “intelligence” within the network. Cloud computing, on the other hand, has shown the benefits of economies of scale and the use of a generic infrastructure to support a variety of services. Following that trend, we propose to move away from the smart terminal-dumb network dichotomy to a model where some degree of intelligence is put back into the network, specifically at the edge, with the support of Cloud technology. In this paper, we propose the deployment of an Edge Cloud, which integrates a variety of user-side and server-side services. On the user side, surrogate, an application running on top of the Cloud, supports a virtual client. The surrogate hides the underlying network infrastructure from the user, thus allowing for simpler, more easily managed terminals. Network side services supporting delivery of and exploiting content are also deployed on this infrastructure, giving the Internet Service Providers (ISP) many opportunities to become directly involved in content and service delivery.
Hepatotoxicity Associated with Acarbose Therapy (2005)

Although acarbose-induced hepatotoxicity appears to be uncommon, diabetic patients receiving long-term acarbose therapy should be closely monitored for this adverse effect.
Use of Exploratory Factor Analysis to Identify Factors Influencing Safety Climate in Two Work Environments (2019)

Safety climate as used in this research was first formally defined by Zohar (1980) through a research study which encompassed 20 Israeli factories across a variety of industries as “a summary of molar perceptions that employees share about their work environment” (pg 96). The term safety climate has been conceptualized as employees’ shared perceptions of how safety practices, policies, and procedures are implemented and prioritized, compared to other priorities such as productivity (Smith et al., 2005). Safety climate can further be conceptualized as a view of the state of safety in the organization at a discrete point in time, which may change over time (Cheyne et al., 1998; Cooper and Phillips, 2004; Neal, Griffin, and Hart, 2000; Guldenmund, 2000; Zohar, 1980, 2000, 2002a, 2002b).
Changes in Cytoplasmic and Vacuolar pH in Harvested Lettuce Tissue as Influenced by CO2 (1986)

Abstract ‘Climax’ lettuce ( Lactuca sativa L.) exhibited more severe CO 2 injury symptoms than ‘Salinas’ and ‘Winterhaven’ lettuce when exposed at 20°C to air for 1 day following treatment for 6 days at 0° with 15% CO 2 in air. All 3 cultivars, however, had similar decreases as revealed by NMR analysis, of about 0.4 and 0.1 pH units in the cytoplasm and vacuole, respectively. This result indicates that variation in the buffering capacity was not related to differences in susceptibility to CO 2 injury among these cultivars. Although CO 2 reduced pH, it also reduced titratable acidity of lettuce tissue. This change resulted in a higher pH when the lettuce was moved to air. Exposure of lettuce at 0° to light reduced CO 2 injury by about 50% relative to tissue kept in the dark. Lettuce tissue kept in air had a higher glucose-6-phosphate content than the CO 2 -treated lettuce. A hypothesis regarding alternate energy supply mechanisms for resistance of lettuce tissue to elevated CO 2 injury is discussed.
La discutida universalidad de los derechos humanos (2002)

n el mundo occidental, ser hoy dia de izquierdas parece requerir cierta comprensi6n y simpatia por los nuevos movimientos sociales, tales como el multiculturalismo y la antiglobalizaci6n. Ademis, el pensamiento progresista debe seguir equipado con las grandes e irrenunciables doctrinas de siempre, como la fe inquebrantable en la universalidad de los derechos humanos, tal y como aparecen en la Declaraci6n Universal de 1948. Sucede, no obstante, que algunas de estas ideas, desarrolladas hasta sus filtimas consecuencias, no son siempre total y absolutamente compatibles, conque si se quiere vivir con cierta coherencia intelectual surge la paradoja. Plantearla en sus t6rminos mis analiticos y objetivos posibles, y ofrecer soluciones para resolverla de la forma mis pragmatica al alcance, son los objetivos de la colecci6n de ensayos que recoge este libro, de algo menos de doscientas piginas, debidos a varios autores, y centrados en tomo a los dos principales que firma Michael Ignatieff (los restantes articulos son comentarios a los de Ignatieff --quien a su vez, los respondeque afiaden poco al valor del volumen). Escrito este exordio, tuvo lugar en nuestro pals una serie de incidentes (las interpelaciones parlamentarias, con rasgado de vestiduras incluido, a Mikel Izurmendi por tachar al multiculturalismo de disgregador; los rfos de tinta malgastados con ocasi6n del velo o pafiuelo de una adolescente musulmana; el casorio forzado que le values
[Intraventricular transplantation of human neural stem cells into embryonic rats]. (2005)

NSCs could express foreign gene steadily and were the ideal cell sources for cell and gene therapy. These cells could incorporate into developing brains and generate widespread chimerism. These chimeras provide a unique model for studying human neural cell migration and differentiation in a functional nervous system.
3D high- and isotropic resolution in tomographic diffractive microscopy by illumination angular scanning, specimen rotation and improved data recombination (2016)

Tomographic diffractive microscopy allows for imaging unlabeled specimens, with a better resolution than conventional microscopes, giving access to the index of refraction distribution within the specimen, and possibly at high speed. Principles of image formation and reconstruction are presented, and progresses towards realtime, three-dimensional acquisition, image reconstruction and final display, are discussed, as well as towards three-dimensional isotropic-resolution imaging.
Mediated entanglement and correlations in a star network of interacting spins (2004)

We investigate analytically a star network of spins, in which all spins interact exclusively and continuously with a central spin through Heisenberg $XX$ couplings of equal strength. We find that the central spin correlates and entangles the other spins at zero temperature to a degree that depends on the total number of spins. We find that the entanglement mediating capability of the central spin depends on the evenness or oddness of this number. In the limit of an infinite collection of spins, the difference between entanglement and correlations in terms of divisibility among multiple parties is clearly demonstrated. We also show that with a significant probability one can maximally entangle any two noncentral spins by measuring all the other spins (a process related to the recently introduced notion of localizable entanglement). This probability depends on the evenness and oddness of the total number of spins and remains substantial even for an infinite collection of spins. We show how symmetric multiparty states for optimal sharing and splitting of entanglement can be obtained as ground states of this system using a magnetic field. These states can then be mapped on to flying qubits for transmission to distant parties. We discuss a number of advantages of this mode of generation and distribution of entanglement over other standard methods.

Isolation of Erwinia chrysanthemi kduD mutants altered in pectin degradation (1986)

Mutants of Erwinia chrysanthemi impaired in pectin degradation were isolated by chemical and Mu d(Ap lac) insertion mutagenesis. A mutation in the kduD gene coding for 2-keto-3-deoxygluconate oxidoreductase prevented the growth of the bacteria on polygalacturonate as the sole carbon source. Analysis of the kduD::Mu d(Ap lac) insertions indicated that kduD is either an isolated gene or the last gene of a polycistronic operon. Some of the Mu d(Ap lac) insertions were kduD-lac fusions in which beta-galactosidase synthesis reflected kduD gene expression. In all these fusions, beta-galactosidase activity was shown to be sensitive to catabolite repression by glucose and to be inducible by polygalacturonate, galacturonate, and other intermediates of polygalacturonate catabolism. Galacturonate-mediated induction was prevented by a mutation which blocked its metabolism to 2-keto-3-deoxygluconate. 2-Keto-3-deoxygluconate appeared to be the true inducer of kduD expression resulting from galacturonate degradation. 5-Keto-4-deoxyuronate or 2,5-diketo-3-deoxygluconate were the true inducers, originating from polygalacturonate cleavage. These three intermediates also appeared to induce pectate lyases, oligogalacturonate lyase, and 5-keto-4-deoxyuronate isomerase synthesis.
Human serum acid-labile factor is an acylhydrolase that inactivates platelet-activating factor. (1983)

Platelet-activating factor (PAF) is a phospholipid that activates platelets, induces inflammation, and causes profound alteration in the cardiopulmonary system. PAF from rabbit basophils and hog leukocytes is 1-O-alkyl-2-acetyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (AGEPC). Human and other mammalian serums contain an acid-labile factor (ALF) that rapidly inactivates AGEPC. ALF is associated with low-density lipoproteins but can be dissociated from the lipoproteins with detergent followed by ultracentrifugation. Delipidated ALF has an isoelectric point of approximately 7.1, its molecular weight is unknown, and it will not react with goat anti-whole human serum, antialbumin, anti-alpha- or anti-beta-lipoproteins, or antiapolipoproteins A or B. ALF has the following characteristics: 1) is acid labile; 2) is Ca2+ independent; 3) has a pH optimum of 6.2; 4) can hydrolyze a four-carbon but not a six-carbon or longer chain fatty acid at the sn-2 position; 5) is independent of an ester or ether linkage at the sn-1 position; 6) is incapable of hydrolyzing sn-2-acetylphosphatidylethanolamine, which indicates the need for at least one methyl group on the choline moiety of AGEPC; 7) requires between 5 and 16 carbons at the sn-1 position to remove a three- or four-carbon fatty acid on the sn-2 position; 8) is inactivated by heating to 65 C for 30 min; 9) is pronase and trypsin sensitive but papain resistant; and 10) is a hydrophobic molecule and thus behaves like a membrane-associated enzyme. Thus, ALF is a specific phosphatide 2-acylhydrolase.
Matrix Metalloproteinases That Associate With and Cleave Bone Morphogenetic Protein-2 In Vitro Are Elevated in Hypertrophic Fracture Nonunion Tissue (2010)

Collectively, our findings indicate that tissue present at the site of hypertrophic nonunions commonly expresses significantly higher levels of MMP-7 and MMP-12 in relation to mineralized fracture callus. Both were found to directly inactivate bone morphogenetic protein-2 in vitro, the best established growth factor in bone formation and repair.
The genetic basis of autosomal dominant familial Mediterranean fever (2000)

Familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) is classically an autosomal recessive periodic inflammatory disease occurring in Mediterranean and Middle Eastern populations. It is caused by mutations affecting both alleles of MEFV, a gene that encodes pyrin (marenostrin), an uncharacterized neutrophil protein. Occasional reports of autosomal dominant FMF have often been discounted, on the basis that asymptomatic FMF carriers are common in certain populations, and give rise to pseudo-dominant inheritance. We performed comprehensive MEFV genotyping in five families in whom FMF appeared to be inherited dominantly. Transmission proved to be pseudo-dominant in two cases, but true dominant inheritance of FMF with variable penetrance was supported by the genotyping results in the other three families. The disease in these cases was associated with heterozygosity for either pyrin DeltaM694 alone or the compound pyrin variant E148Q/M694I, the latter occurring in two unrelated families. Complete MEFV sequencing failed to identify any coding region abnormality in the other allele in any of these cases, and, in the largest kindred, single-allele disease transmission was further supported by analysis of silent single nucleotide polymorphisms, which proved that affected individuals had at least three different complementary alleles. Studies of two further unrelated British patients with FMF associated with simple heterozygosity for pyrin DeltaM694 were also consistent with autosomal dominant inheritance. The clinical features of dominantly inherited FMF were absolutely typical, including AA amyloidosis in a patient with pyrin DeltaM694. These findings extend the spectrum of FMF, and suggest that the methionine residue at position 694 makes a crucial contribution to pyrin's function, and that a 50% complement of normal pyrin activity does not prevent susceptibility to FMF.
Bacterial host specificity of Lucinacea endosymbionts: Interspecific variation in 16S rRNA sequences (1996)

Three tropical lucinid clams (Codakia orbiculata, Codakia pectinella and Lucina nassula) from a shallow coastal environment have been studied regarding to their thioautotrophic bacterial endosymbionts. The 16S rRNA genes (rDNA) from these three endosymbionts were amplified using PCR. Phylogenetic analysis by distance matrix and parsimony methods always placed the newly examined symbionts within the monophyletic group composed of symbionts of the bivalve superfamily Lucinacea. A same single 16S rRNA sequence was found in C. orbiculata and C. pectinella and was identical to that found in C. orbicularis and Linga pensylvanica, two other lucinids living in the same type of environment. These data indicate that a same symbiont species may be associated with different host species. Lucina nassula host a symbiont with a distinct 16S rDNA sequence, but very closely related to the former.
<i>In situ</i> growth of superconducting YBa2Cu3O7−<i>x</i> thin films by a hot-wall sputtering process (1993)

YBa2Cu3O7−x (YBCO) superconducting thin films with Tc of 89 K and Jc of 2.7×106 A/cm2 at 77 K, zero field were prepared by a modified high pressure (1.5 Torr) dc planar diode sputtering process. The design and construction of the simple, economic hot-wall sputtering system which has been achieved in growing high-quality YBCO films on (001)MgO, (001)LaAlO3, and (001)YSZ substrates are reported.
Study on Numerical Simulation of Wind Energy Resources Based on WRF and CFD Models (2012)

A combined model system(WRF/WT) of the mesoscale model WRF and the Meteodyn WT,a CFD model from France,was carried out the numerical simulation experiments of regional wind resources over Hailing Island of Guangdong Province with a horizontal resolution of 100 m X 100 m.The observational data from 7 wind towers in Hailing Island were used to test the results modeled by WRF/WT,and compared with the simulated errors to the single-point wind parameters,thus studying the feasibility of WRF/WT model system in micro-siting for wind farm and the application of distributed development of wind power and utilization.The results showed that,the combined model system of mesoscale model and CFD model in simulating the trends of the regional wind energy resource distribution is more accurate than CFD model used only;the WRF/WT model system used in complex terrain for wind resource numerical simulated evaluation is feasible,and its accuracy in simulating the parameters of the regional wind energy resource distribution is close to the result of WRF/WAsP simulating within 2 km.The WRF/WT model system compared to WRF/WAsP has obvious advantages when the frequency distribution does not meet the Weibull distribution or in a steep terrain.In the future,we need to further research in the interface methods of mesoscale model and CFD models,and the error correction of mesoscale model simulations.
Overall Kinetics of Natural Rubber Vulcanization at High Temperatures I—review of Investigation Techniques, Methods and Previous Results of Kinetic Analysis (1971)

Abstract Analysis of previously published cure data illustrates the importance of correct determination of the ultimate level of network chain density in the absence of reversion, and the correction of each kinetic data point for “reversion contributions”. A graphical procedure is described for the determination of kinetic parameters which takes these precautions into account.
The Filterscope (2003)

The filterscope is a diagnostic for monitoring visible light emission from plasmas. Light from a plasma is conducted to the filterscope via optical fibers. This light is split into multiple paths, and optical bandpass filters in each path pass the light from visible wavelengths, including Dα, Dβ and various impurities. The filtered light is then detected by compact photomultipliers and the resulting data digitized and stored. Because of the large number of data channels employed, the filters and electronics are designed to be compact. Measured light intensities are absolutely calibrated. Filterscopes are presently employed on the DIII-D, the National Spherical Torus Experiment, and the Current Drive Experiment-Upgrade tokamak plasma devices.
Therapie chronisch entzündlicher Atemwegserkrankungen (2011)

In this article a short overview of the treatment of horses suffering from inflammatory airway disease or recurrent airway obstruction is presented. In our opinion, the change of the animal environment is of paramount importance in treatment of these horses. The elimination of irritating substances like dust, ammoniacal gas and endotoxines in patients' environment leads to improvement of clinical signs in most cases; the use of additional medical treatment including corticosteroids (dexamethasone, prednisolone, fluticasone) and bronchodilators (β2-Agonists like clenbuterol, salmeterol) is indicated for more severe cases. The efficacy of mucolytic drugs and of “hyperinfusion therapy” on the other hand, is questionable.
Coordinated Multilevel Buffer Cache Management with Consistent Access Locality Quantification (2006)

This paper proposes a protocol for effective coordinated buffer cache management in a multilevel cache hierarchy typical of a client/server system. Currently, such cache hierarchies are managed suboptimally-decisions about block placement and replacement are made locally at each level of the hierarchy without coordination between levels. Though straightforward, this approach has several weaknesses: 1) Blocks may be redundantly cached, reducing the effective total cache size, 2) weakened locality at lower-level caches makes recency-based replacement algorithms such as LRU less effective, and 3) high-level caches cannot effectively identify blocks with strong locality and may place them in low-level caches, The fundamental reason for these weaknesses is that the locality information embedded in the streams of access requests from clients is not consistently analyzed and exploited, resulting in globally nonsystematic, and therefore suboptimal, placement and replacement of cached blocks across the hierarchy. To address this problem, we propose a coordinated multilevel cache management protocol based on consistent access-locality quantification. In this protocol, locality is dynamically quantified at the client level to direct servers to place or replace blocks appropriately at each level of the cache hierarchy. The result is that the block layout in the entirely hierarchy dynamically matches the locality of block accesses. Our simulation experiments on both synthetic and real-life traces show that the protocol effectively ameliorates these caching problems. As anecdotal evidence, our protocol achieves a reduction of block accesses of 11 percent to 71 percent, with an average of 35 percent, over uniLRU, a unified multilevel cache scheme
GALACTOSE METABOLISM I. (1962)

Fukuyama T. T. (University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia) and D. J. O'Kane. Galactose metabolism. I. Pathway of carbon in fermentation by Streptococcus faecalis. J. Bacteriol. 84:793-796. 1962.-The pathway by which galactose-1-C(14) is fermented in Streptococcus faecalis was investigated using dried-cell preparations. Lactic acid, acetic acid, formic acid, ethanol, and carbon dioxide were the end products formed, with lactic acid representing approximately 50% of the sugar fermented. The distribution of radio-activity indicated that the fermentation follows the Embden-Meyerhof route, suggesting that the difference in the formation of the products of glucose and galactose fermentation must be attributed to alternate routes of pyruvic acid metabolism. Differences in pH did not account for the dissimilar fermentation patterns.
RUMINATION: A PSYCHOSOMATIC SYNDROME OF INFANCY (1958)

This study has been concerned with observations of four infants manifesting the syndrome of rumination and the mothers of these infants. The findings suggest that the syndrome develops in response to a disordered relationship between parents and baby. Some formulations concerning the pathogenesis of rumination are presented. It is hoped that further studies of this and other syndromes reflecting disturbances in the development of object relationships in infants will provide a better understanding of healthy as well as disordered growth in early life.
Implementation of an RFID-based biological sample identification and tracking system (2011)

Collection, processing, storage and maintenance of samples to facilitate long-term cohort studies in biobanks, requires a system to manage samples in an effective way to prevent sample mix up and loss. Sample identification and tracking system aims to reserve data on the samples at all the times, hence RFID technology is employed. This technology allows information to be stored on the tags attached to tubes containing samples. A system is proposed, designed and prototype in the Prostate Cancer Research Consortium biobank.
[Acid neutralizing capacity and elements leaching behavior from MSWI fly ash under static pH condition]. (2008)

The acid neutralizing capacity (ANC) and elements leaching behavior from fly ash were studied using a pHstat titration test. The pH value of the system was kept at 4, 5, 6 and 7 for 150 hours respectively. The concentration of major and heavy metals in the solution was determined. The results indicate that in the initial time of the titration, the amount of consumed acid increases rapidly. With the accumulation of the ions in the solution, the rate of the fly ash dissolution gets an inflection point after about 20 hours. With the fall of the controlled pH values, the proton buffering capacity of fly ash increases correspondingly. Elements represent different types of leaching behavior during the titration. The leaching of K, Na,Ca and Cl is not controlled by the buffing process. Si and SO4(2-) reached the maximal release after several hours, followed by a decrease in concentration. The release of Cd, Zn is similar to the acid neutralizing capacity and the leaching of Cu, Pb and Cr is lower than the ANC. The result of pH static titration can provide more detailed information about the neutralizing process and the potential leachability of heavy metals, and this is useful to evaluate the long term leaching behavior of heavy metals.
A new all-optical switching device by using the nonlinear Mach-Zehnder interferometer with a control wavegulde (2004)

We propose a new all-optical switching device by using the nonlinear Mach-Zehnder interferometer with a straight control waveguide. The numerical results show that this device could function as an all-optical switch.
