Human brain measures of clinical pain: a review I. Topographic mappings (1993)

A comprehensive paper (Parts I and II) has been developed to review the cerebral measures employed in studying the brain neurophysiological activities of clinical pain. Part I focuses on the electro-, magnetic-physiological assessment of clinical pain, and Part II concerns the anatomico-, chemical-physiological assessment of clinical pain. In Part I, these measures include the qualitative inspection of the conventional electroencephalogram, quantitative assessment of brain electrical spectral activity through cortical power spectrum density and coherence analyses, and quantitative averaging of cortical electrical or magnetic activities using brain evoked potentials. The mapping and measurement of these electrical activities and magnetic fields are results of recent advent in computer technology and advanced algorithms. Promises and limitations of these topographic measures in understanding pain in the brain are stated. The next article (Part II) of this paper will review tomographic imaging of pain-related brain activities in regional cerebral flow, the scanning of gross and fine brain structures by computerized axial tomography or magnetic resonance imaging, and the imaging and measurement of brain metabolic changes, energy uptake, and receptor bindings through positron emission tomography or single-photon emission computerized tomography. Molecular chemical transformation by the nuclear magnetic resonance analysis of tissue changes and analgesic-receptor interactions will also be noted.
Isolation and partial characterization of staphylococcal decomplementation antigen (1985)

A substance with potent decomplementation activity was isolated from staphylococcal culture supernatants by polyethylene glycol precipitation, DEAE-ion-exchange and Sephacryl chromatography, and preparative sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The purified substance exhibited all the characteristics of the decomplementation antigen (DA) previously detected in unfractionated culture supernatants. It contained glucosamine and phosphorus and was provisionally identified as extracellular, water-soluble teichoic acid of Staphylococcus aureus. DA was entirely resistant towards the action of proteases, DNase, RNase, or lysostaphin and withstood boiling for 30 min. Its electrophoretic mobility in agarose gels at pH 8.7 was approximately double that of human serum albumin. The molecule eluted in a molecular-weight region of 70,000 to 120,000 on Sephacryl S-300 and sedimented as a symmetrical 3 to 4 S moiety in sucrose density gradients. It migrated near the dye front on 12.5% sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gels and remained undenatured after boiling in sodium dodecyl sulfate. DA formed a symmetrical immunoprecipitate upon crossed immunoelectrophoresis against pooled human immunoglobulin G. It was identified as the major extracellular antigen present in unfractionated S. aureus culture supernatants that is precipitable by naturally occurring human immunoglobulin G antibodies. Immune complexes forming between DA and human immunoglobulin G exhibited an extraordinary capacity to activate the classical complement pathway. Micro- or nanogram amounts of purified antigen added to antibody-containing human serum effected rapid and complete consumption of C3, C4, and C5. The biochemical and biological properties of DA single out this molecule for an important role in suppressing the opsonizing activity of host complement through induction of abortive complement consumption in the fluid phase.
Racial Variation in Treatment Preferences and Willingness to Randomize in the Spine Patient Outcomes Research Trial (SPORT) (2006)

Similar to prior studies, Black participants were less likely than Whites or Others to prefer surgical treatment; however, they were no less likely to agree to be randomized. Treatment preferences were strongly related to both race and willingness to be randomized.
Metabolic and Peroxisome Proliferation Studies With Di(2-Ethylhexyl)Phthalate in Rats and Monkeys (1987)

Male Fischer 344 rats and cynomolgus monkeys were treated with various doses of di(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate (DEHP) for at least 21 days. There was metabolic, biochemical, and morphological evidence for peroxisomal proliferation in rats that consumed diets containing 1000 ppm DEHP and above. These diets were estimated to provide average daily doses of about 100 mg/kg of DEHP. In contrast, peroxisomal proliferation was not observed in monkeys that received up to 500 mg/kg/day of DEHP by gavage. The results of this study suggest that rats do not provide a good model for predicting the results of DEHP exposure on peroxisomal proliferation in higher primates.
Constellation mapping for physical-layer network coding with M-QAM modulation (2012)

The denoise-and-forward (DNF) method of physical-layer network coding (PNC) is a promising approach for wireless relaying networks. In this paper, we consider DNF-based PNC with M-ary quadrature amplitude modulation (M-QAM) and propose a mapping scheme that maps the superposed M-QAM signal to coded symbols. The mapping scheme supports both square and non-square M-QAM modulations, with various original constellation mappings (e.g. binary-coded or Gray-coded). Subsequently, we evaluate the symbol error rate and bit error rate (BER) of M-QAM modulated PNC that uses the proposed mapping scheme. Afterwards, as an application, a rate adaptation scheme for the DNF method of PNC is proposed. Simulation results show that the rate-adaptive PNC is advantageous in various scenarios.
Transformation of waist parameters of a Gaussian beam by a thick lens (1990)

This paper presents a theory of the transformation of the waist position and waist size of a Gaussian beam by a thick lens. We clarify the effects of lens thickness and shape on the transformed waist parameters. For equiconvex and equiconcave lenses, the effects of the thickness on the transformed parameters are significant when the Rayleigh length of the incident beam is small compared with the focal length of a thin positive lens. For plano-convex and plano-concave lenses, the waist parameters of the transmitted beam depend largely on whether the flat or curved side faces the incident beam. The conditions for locating the waist at a prescribed position in a spherical shell or a sphere are also given in terms of the waist parameters of the incident beam.
Improve on frequent access path algorithm in web page personalized recommendation model (2011)

Web logs record actions and behaviors of users. By mining and analyzing these logs we can find users browsing and access patterns, and this is very important and useful to the web site optimization and recommender. This paper first analyses the association-rules-based personalized recommender model which is very popular in web site recommender system, points out the limitation of the frequent access path algorithm in this model, and then improves it. At last, the paper shows by the test results that the improved algorithm can advance the recommending quality.
Rubber-Styrene Block Copolymers in Adhesives (1982)

Abstract Rubber-styrene block copolymers are materials such as the A-B-A type block copolymers, where A represents a block of polystyrene and B represents a rubber block, usually polybutadiene, polyisoprene or an olefin rubber. Because polymers of this type form a physically crosslinked network structure, the polymers are thermoplastic as well as being strong and rubbery. Because of their unique structure, block copolymers are well suited for use in a wide variety of adhesives. Block copolymers can be formulated with resins, plasticizers, and fillers to meet performance requirements ranging from those of a soft, tacky pressure-sensitive adhesive to those of a stiff, high strength construction or assembly adhesive. Adhesives based on the block copolymers can be mixed and applied, either in solvent or as hot melts, using standard processing equipment. Research is continuing on block copolymer technology, formulating technology, and processing technology which should further expand the applications of block copolymers in adhesives.
Minimal distance neural methods (2002)

A general framework for minimal distance methods is presented. Radial basis functions (RBFs) and multilayer perceptrons (MLPs) neural networks are included in this framework as special cases. New versions of minimal distance methods are formulated. A few of them have been tested on real-world datasets obtaining very encouraging results.
Motor complications in Parkinson's disease: Ten year follow‐up study (2010)

Parkinson's disease (PD) can be symptomatically controlled with standard treatments; however, after a few years, this response typically declines and most patients develop motor complications. We carried out a prospective practice-based study to evaluate the evolution appearance and evolution of motor complications in 64 de novo PD patients over 5 years and in 38 PD patients over 10 years. We studied untreated patients from initial assessment at basal conditions and evaluated every 6 months thereafter with treatment (levodopa versus other drugs). The follow-up assessments were performed with the Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS). At each assessment, patients were monitored regarding the development of dyskinesias, motor fluctuations, freezing, loss of postural reflexes, and cognitive impairment. We observed a significant improvement in UPDRS scores during the first year, then a progressive decline, more evident after the third year. Motor complications increased after the third year, and at the end of the survey (tenth year); drug-induced dyskinesias and motor fluctuations were experienced (71.1 and 94.7%, respectively). After the first decade, many complications arose from the non-levodopa-responsive features of the disease (cognitive impairment was present in 52.6% and gait freezing in 71.1%). Initial medication may influence medium-term complications but not long-term problems. Most long-term disabling problems of PD were related to non-levodopa-responsive features.
Conduction of Heat in an Infinite Region Bounded Internally by a Circular Cylinder of a Perfect Conductor (1956)

Numerical information is given for radial flow of heat in an infinite region bounded internally by a circular cylinder of radius a containing a perfect conductor, there being contact resistance IIH per unit area across the cylinder. Problems considered are: (i) the perfect conductor and the surrounding region initially at different temperatures; (ii) heat supply to the perfect conductor.
<i>NOZZLE</i>links proximal-distal and adaxial-abaxial pattern formation during ovule development in<i>Arabidopsis thaliana</i> (2002)

The ovules of Arabidopsis show polarity along the proximal-distal and the adaxial-abaxial axis. NOZZLE, a gene that encodes a novel protein and BELL1, encoding a homeodomain protein, play a vital role in pattern formation along the proximal-distal axis. INNER NO OUTER, which encodes a member of the YABBY family of transcription factors and SUPERMAN, encoding a zinc finger transcription factor, are essential for the establishment and maintenance of adaxial-abaxial polarity. To date, the co-ordination of patterning along these two axes is unclear. Here we show that NOZZLE plays a vital role in pattern formation along the adaxial-abaxial axis as well. We investigated the expression of INNER NO OUTER in various mutant backgrounds and have identified ABERRANT TESTA SHAPE and NOZZLE as spatial regulators of INNER NO OUTER expression. In addition, we show that NOZZLE and AINTEGUMENTA, which encodes an AP2 domain transcription factor, regulate the temporal expression of INNER NO OUTER and that BELL1 is essential for INNER NO OUTER expression. We further analysed the expression of BELL1 and AINTEGUMENTA in inner no outer mutants and show that the positive auto-regulatory control of INNER NO OUTER expression involves AINTEGUMENTA. Based on our results we propose a model for adaxial-abaxial pattern formation during ovule development. Our results indicate that NOZZLE plays a central role in patterning both the proximal-distal and the adaxial-abaxial axes. Furthermore, negatively regulating INO expression in a temporal manner, ensures that the adaxial-abaxial polarity is established after the specification of the chalaza, a proximal-distal axis pattern element. It therefore serves as a molecular link between these processes during ovule development in Arabidopsis thaliana.

A manuscript regarding to the RGA analysis for the calibration of oxygen sensor is on the way.
The influence of magazine advertising on parents' nutrition ratings of food products for children (2004)

Childhood obesity currently affects approximately 22 million children under the age of five worldwide (Rochinni, 2002) and its increasing prevalence in developed nations makes it one of the most common nutritional problems among children (Sorof and Stephen, 2002). A study was conducted to investigate parents’ health-related perceptions for a series of magazine advertisements for commonly advertised and popular children’s food products. The study revealed that confusion exists among parents and this was most evident in relation to the energy content of food products. Parents are important due to the instrumental role they play in their child’s nutrition - both as decider and provider of the different types of foods that are consumed.
Rectangular Silver Nanorods: Controlled Preparation, Liquid−Liquid Interface Assembly, and Application in Surface-Enhanced Raman Scattering (2008)

In this paper, we for the first time report a polyol method for large-scale synthesis of rectangular silver nanorods in the presence of directing agent and seeds. This method has some clear advantages including simplicity, high quality, and ease of scaleup. Silver nanowires or silver nanorods with a submicrometer diameter could also be facilely prepared when the reaction parameters are slightly changed. Furthermore, a liquid−liquid assembly strategy has been employed to construct uniform rectangular silver nanorod arrays on a solid substrate which could be used as surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) substrates with high SERS activity, stability, and reproducibility. It is found that the SERS spectra obtained from the probe molecules with the different concentrations show different SERS intensities. As the concentration of 4-aminothiophenol (4-ATP) or rhodamine 6G (R6G) increases, the SERS intensities progressively increase. The enhancement factor for 4-ATP and R6G should be as large as 5.06 × 104 or much larger than the value of 5.06 × 108, respectively. Most importantly, the SERS spectra of R6G on the assembling film are well reproducible at different sites on a substrate, with a standard deviation of <20%. Our results will open new possibilities for applying SERS to detect different analytical species due to the good reproducibility of the present SERS substrate.
Fast detection of node mergers using logic implications (2009)

In this paper, we propose a new node merging algorithm using logic implications. The proposed algorithm only requires two logic implications to find the substitute nodes for a given target node, and thus can efficiently detect node mergers. Furthermore, we also apply the node merger identification algorithm for area optimization in VLSI circuits. We conduct experiments on a set of IWLS 2005 benchmarks. The experimental results show that our algorithm has a competitive capability on area optimization compared to a global observability don't care (ODC)-based node merging algorithm which is highly time-consuming. Our speedup is approximately 86 times for overall benchmarks.
Transport of Gigabit Ethernet directly over WDM for 1062 km in the MONET Washington DC network (2002)

We have transported Gigabit Ethernet packets directly over WDM for 1062 km in the successfully deployed MONET Washington DC network. The experiment indicates that the Gigabit Ethernet can be used for WAN or backbone transmission bypassing the ATM and SONET intermediate protocol layers. It also indicates that the physical layer of the fibre channel, which is adopted by the Gigabit Ethernet, can be used as a long-haul transmission protocol.
Les jeunes de la Conférence Olivaint et l'Europe, de 1919 à 1992 (2010)

La Conférence Olivaint est une association d’étudiants catholique longtemps dirigée par les jésuites qui a entretenu entre 1919 et 1992 des rapports ambivalents envers l’Europe. Longtemps absente des débats organisés au sein de l’Olivaint, l’Europe a parfois été au cœur du parcours politique des jeunes qui y ont été formés. Cercle profondément conservateur dans l’entre-deux-guerres, la Conférence Olivaint a balancé deux tentations, celle de la collaboration internationale et celle du repli national. Remaniée au lendemain de la Seconde Guerre mondiale, elle s’est investie dans le rapprochement franco-allemand à l’initiative de son directeur jésuite, le révérend père Huvenne, avant de se désintéresser assez durablement des questions européennes.
Drones in Domestic Surveillance Operations: Fourth Amendment Implications and Legislative Responses (2013)

This report first explores the potential uses of drones in the domestic sphere by federal, state, and local governments. It then surveys current Fourth Amendment jurisprudence, including cases surrounding privacy in the home, privacy in public spaces, location tracking, manned aerial surveillance, and those involving the national border. Next, it considers how existing jurisprudence may inform current and proposed drone uses. It then describes the various legislative measures introduced in the 112th Congress to address the legal and policy issues surrounding drones and, finally, briefly identifies several alternative approaches that may constrain the potential scope of drone surveillance.
Li<sub>3</sub>Al<sub>2</sub>, eine neue Phase im System Li/Al / Li<sub>3</sub>Al<sub>2</sub>, a New Phase in the System Li/Al (1973)

Besides ‘Li 2 Al’ which was recently shown to be the phase Li 9 Al 4 there exists the phase Li 3 Al 2 characterized by preparation and X-ray diffraction methods. It cristallizes with a rhomboedric unit cell, R3̄m, a = 4.508 Å, c = 14.26 Å and z = 3 formula units (hexagonal setting). The structure can be looked at as a variant of the body centred cubic packing with Αl-atom layers of puckered six membered rings. The structural relation of the phases LiAl, Li 3 Al 2 , Li 9 Al 4 , Li is discussed.

X-ray analysis of the incommensurate modulation in the 2:2:1:2 Bi-Sr-Ca-Cu-O superconductor including the oxygen atoms (1990)

Single-crystal x-ray diffraction data on the 2:2:1:2 Bi-Sr-Ca-Cu-O superconducting phase have been used in a four-dimensional refinement of the modulations of both the metal and oxygen atoms. An expression for an analytical temperature-factor modulation function has been derived and applied to the bismuth atoms. The large value of the temperature factor of Bi in some of the unit cells indicates a contribution from static disorder. The modulation of the oxygen atoms in the bismuth layer is best described by a function that allows the displacement to vary linearly with unit-cell position and incorporates the possibility of excess oxygen near the end of a modulation period. The results on oxygen occupancy and the behavior of the Bi temperature factor are compatible with models that attribute the origin of the modulation to the existence of extra oxygen atoms in the Bi-O layers. Refinement in the noncentrosymmetric super space group M:A2aa:1\ifmmode\bar\else\textasciimacron\fi{}11 leads to significantly better results than the centrosymmetric treatment.

Buffered rate-distortion control of MPEG compressed video channel for DBS applications (2002)

A joint rate-distortion control algorithm of multichannel sources is proposed to control the overall picture quality by putting some constraints on the encoder's quantization parameters and buffer state to allow a limited variable bit rate (VBR) coding within a group of pictures (GOP) block. A major drawback for video transmission over a conventional fixed rate channel without using a VBR encoder is that received picture quality varies greatly, resulting in non-uniform subjective perception. In order to minimize these effects buffered-constrained rate-distortion control within a GOP block level finds an optimal solution in a combined rate-distortion sense by permitting a VBR encoding as well as the direct feedback of the buffer state into the cost measure when multichannel programs are statistically multiplexed. Results indicate some quality gains over the conventional constant bit rate method.
Ectodermal dysplasias: A clinical classification and a causal review (1994)

We present a casual review of 154 ectodermal dysplasias (EDs) as classified into 11 clinical subgroups. The number of EDs in each subgroup varies from one to 43. The numbers of conditions due to autosomal dominant, autosomal recessive, and X-linked genes are, respectively, 41, 52, and 8. In 53 conditions cause is unknown; 35 of them present some causal (genetic) suggestion.
