COMMINUTED RADIAL HEAD FRACTURES TREATED WITH A MODULAR METALLIC RADIAL HEAD ARTHROPLASTY (2006)

Background: Comminuted fractures of the radial head are challenging to treat with open reduction and internal fixation. Radial head arthroplasty is an alternative treatment with results that compare favorably with those reported after open reduction and internal fixation of similar fractures. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the two-year outcomes and the rate of recovery of a closely followed cohort of patients in whom an unreconstructible radial head fracture had been treated with a modular metallic prosthesis. Methods: Twenty-six patients (seventeen female and nine male; mean age, fifty-four years) with an unreconstructible comminuted radial head fracture and associated elbow injuries were treated with a modular metallic radial head arthroplasty. Patients who had presented more than four weeks following the injury or had had the radial head arthroplasty as a second-stage or salvage procedure were excluded. Of the twenty-six patients, twenty-two had an associated elbow dislocation, and thirteen of them also had an associated fracture of the coronoid process. Patients were prospectively followed at three, six, twelve, and twenty-four months. Self-reported limb function, general health, range of motion, and isometric strength were assessed by an independent observer. Results: Following treatment of the injury, significant decreases in self-reported and measured impairments were noted over time, with the majority of the recovery occurring by six months and little further recovery noted between six and twenty-four months. There were slight-to-moderate deficits in the range of motion and strength compared with the values on the contralateral, unaffected side. Patient satisfaction was high at three months and remained high at two years. All elbow joints remained stable, no implant required revision, and there was no evidence of overstuffing of the joint. Mild osteoarthritis was seen in five (19%) of the twenty-six patients. Conclusions: An arthroplasty with a modular metallic radial head is a safe and effective option for the treatment of unreconstructible radial head fractures associated with other elbow injuries. Recovery primarily occurs by six months, with minimal additional improvements over the next eighteen months. Level of Evidence: Therapeutic Level IV.

CLONETS-DS Clock Network Services-Design Study Strategy for clock services over optical-fibre networks (2023)

The precise time and frequency transmissions based on optical fibre have evolved recently. The time and frequency transfer methods by GSSN are becoming gradually obsolete, definitely providing lower measurements than we can do. Yet, we do struggle with the best effotrt to enable clock comparison, and to utilize the experience with the fibre. An optical clock, they will need to be connected to others, so the collaboration is essential. We present here the further development of infrastructure in mentioned research field. And the synergy of shared entities like QKD, relativistic geodesy, any industrial and societal applications within the shared fibre, where we have been focused on.
Mixed service management with QoS control for GERAN - the GSM/EDGE radio access network (2002)

This paper describes and evaluates service-based power setting for the GSM/EDGE Radio Access Network (GERAN). Service-based power setting is a simple radio resource management scheme that allows management of multiple services with controlled quality of service (QoS), which is crucial for 3/sup rd/ generation systems. Simulation results indicate that with proper power offsets between bearer services previously established single service capacities may be maintained also for a mix of different services. It is further shown that the power setting principles work well in combination with power control.
Organic Acid Adsorption on Lead Titanate Surfaces (1995)

Several carboxylic acids were adsorbed on the surface of lead titanate. The total amount of adsorbed acid was determined and characterized by diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transmission spectroscopy (DRIFTS). The acids were found to be chemisorbed on the lead titanate surface by a metal carboxylate bond. This bond forms by reaction between surface hydroxyls and the organic acid functional group. The amount of adsorbed species per unit surface area varied with each carboxylic acid studied and generally correlated with the size of the individual molecules. The experiments also demonstrate an application of a sensitive method for carbon analysis, oxygen‐based coulombic titration.
3D iterative full and half scan reconstruction in CT architectures with distributed sources (2008)

In 3<sup>rd</sup> generation CT systems projection data, generated by X-rays emitted from a single source and passing through the imaged object, are acquired by a single detector covering the entire field of view (FOV). Novel CT system architectures employing distributed sources [1,2] could extend the axial coverage, while removing cone-beam artifacts and improving spatial resolution and dose. The sources can be distributed in plane and/or in the longitudinal direction. We investigate statistical iterative reconstruction of multi-axial data, acquired with simulated CT systems with multiple sources distributed along the in-plane and longitudinal directions. The current study explores the feasibility of 3D iterative Full and Half Scan reconstruction methods for CT systems with two different architectures. In the first architecture the sources are distributed in the longitudinal direction, and in the second architecture the sources are distributed both longitudinally and trans-axially. We used Penalized Weighted Least Squares Transmission Reconstruction (PWLSTR) and incorporated a projector-backprojector model matching the simulated architectures. The proposed approaches minimize artifacts related to the proposed geometries. The reconstructed images show that the investigated architectures can achieve good image quality for very large coverage without severe cone-beam artifacts.
POLYNOMIAL-SIZE NONOBTUSE TRIANGULATION (1992)

We describe methods for triangulating polygonal regions of the plane so that no triangle has a large angle. Our main result is that a polygon with n sides can be triangulated with O(n 2 ) nonobtuse triangles. We also show that any triangulation (without Steiner points) of a simple polygon has a reflnement with O(n 4 ) nonobtuse triangles. Finally we show that a triangulation whose dual is a path has a reflnement with only O(n 2 ) nonobtuse triangles.

Energy harvesting using nano antenna array (2011)

Nano antenna arrays are excellent devices for infrared detection (terahertz radiation). We present our latest results on the production of nano antennas fabricated in a nano transfer printing process. The molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) technique allows the growth of AlGaAs/GaAs-stamps which are used to fabricate nano antennas with a high aspect ratio of 10 <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">4</sup> . Additionally, Si-stamps have been manufactured via electron-beam lithography in order to produce dense arrays of over 10 million dipole nano antennas. These dipole antennas have a width of 60 nm and can be trimmed to any length to be sensitive for a desired wavelength in the infrared regime. For rectifying THz radiation, metal-oxide-metal (MOM) tunneling diodes have been printed having an ultrathin dielectric. The transfer yield is almost hundred per cent and electrical measurements of direct and Fowler-Nordheim tunneling confirms the reliability of the printed diodes. A concept of implementing MBE-fabricated MOM diodes having spatial dimensions in the nanometer range in nano antenna arrays is demonstrated.

[Estimation of right ventricular contractility by continuous-wave Doppler echocardiography]. (1996)

The right ventricular dP/dtmax and relatively load-independent index, dP/dtmax/IP (IP: instantaneous pressure difference between the right ventricle and right atrium) can be measured from the tricuspid regurgitant velocity by continuous-wave Doppler echocardiography. The present study investigated these indices as measures of right ventricular contractility. Thirty-one patients were classified into three groups: 11 patients without right ventricular disease (control group), 9 with dilated cardiomyopathy and 1 with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy in the dilated phase (DCM group), and 10 with pulmonary hypertension (PH group). Right ventricular contractility was impaired in both the PH group and DCM group, but dP/dtmax was significantly larger in the PH group compared with the control group and DCM group (519 +/- 113 vs 249 +/- 66 and 234 +/- 78 mmHg/sec, p < 0.01). There was no significant difference between dP/dtmax in the control group and DCM group. dP/dtmax/IP in the PH group was smaller than the control group (31 +/- 8 vs 39 +/- 7/sec, p < 0.05) and larger than the DCM group (22 +/- 12/sec, p < 0.05). Mean New York Heart Association grading was 1.0 in the control group, 3.1 in the DCM group, and 2.8 in the PH group, respectively. Thus, dP/dtmax/IP, noninvasively obtained by continuous-wave Doppler echocardiography, may be a better index for evaluating right ventricular contractility than dP/dtmax.
Experimental Characterization of the Electrostatic Levitation Force in MEMS Transducers (2020)

Abstract In this study, a two-step experimental procedure is described to determine the electrostatic levitation force in micro-electromechanical system transducers. In these two steps, the microstructure is excited quasi-statically and dynamically and its response is used to derive the electrostatic force. The experimental results are obtained for a 1 mm by 1 mm plate that employs 112 levitation units. The experimentally obtained force is used in a lumped parameter model to find the microstructure response when it is subjected to different dynamical loads. The natural frequency and the damping ratios in the model are identified from the experimental results. The results show that this procedure can be used as a method to extract the electrostatic force as a function of the microstructure’s degrees-of-freedom. The procedure can be easily used for any microstructure with a wide variety of electrode configurations to predict the response of the system to any input excitation.
Broadband Wireless Access - The Next Wireless Revolution (2006)

Summary form only given. Broadband wireless access is the third wireless revolution; the broadcast nature of wireless transmission offers ubiquity and immediate access for both fixed and mobile users, clearly a vital element of next- generation quadruple play services. Unlike wired access, a large portion of the deployment costs is incurred only when a subscriber signs up for service. An increasing number of municipal governments around the world are financing the deployment of multihop wireless networks with the overall aim of providing ubiquitous Internet access and enhanced public services. This tutorial will provide a comparative assessment of the key issues and technologies underpinning promising broadband wireless access solutions. Key topics include licensed and unlicensed spectrum consideration; reliable physical layer transmission using multiple antennas; multichannel medium access protocols with QoS provisioning; wireless access topologies: point-to-point, point-to-multipoint, peer- to-peer multihop (mesh); wireless multimedia services: wireless IP-TV, wireless VoIP; mobility; cognitive radio technologies; advanced wireless security; wireless/wireline integration
High-Resolution Free Induction Decay Proton MRSI in the Human Brain at 9.4 T (2014)

The FID-MRSI technique is a promising tool to be used for spectroscopic imaging at ultra-high magnetic field as it enables short TE and avoids in-plane chemical shift displacement. However, due to the acquisition delay, the first points of the acquired FID signals are missing, giving rise to phase problems which may hamper quantitative analysis. Our aim was to examine the feasibility of high-resolution FID-MRSI of the healthy human brain at the field strength of 9.4 T. The missing FID points were reconstructed with an autoregressive model so that the phase problems present in the acquired spectra could be minimized.
Elucidating the role of copper in CHO cell energy metabolism using 13 C metabolic flux analysis (2015)

(13)C-metabolic flux analysis was used to understand copper deficiency-related restructuring of energy metabolism, which leads to excessive lactate production in recombinant protein-producing CHO cells. Stationary-phase labeling experiments with U-(13)C glucose were conducted on CHO cells grown under high and limiting copper in 3 L fed-batch bioreactors. The resultant labeling patterns of soluble metabolites were measured by GC-MS and used to estimate metabolic fluxes in the central carbon metabolism pathways using OpenFlux. Fluxes were evaluated 300 times from stoichiometrically feasible random guess values and their confidence intervals calculated by Monte Carlo simulations. Results from metabolic flux analysis exhibited significant carbon redistribution throughout the metabolic network in cells under Cu deficiency. Specifically, glycolytic fluxes increased (25%-79% relative to glucose uptake) whereas fluxes through the TCA and pentose phosphate pathway (PPP) were lower (15%-23% and 74%, respectively) compared with the Cu-containing condition. Furthermore, under Cu deficiency, 33% of the flux entering TCA via the pyruvate node was redirected to lactate and malate production. Based on these results, we hypothesize that Cu deficiency disrupts the electron transport chain causing ATP deficiency, redox imbalance, and oxidative stress, which in turn drive copper-deficient CHO cells to produce energy via aerobic glycolysis, which is associated with excessive lactate production, rather than the more efficient route of oxidative phosphorylation.

OP018 Identification of an anti-inflammatory protein from Faecalibacterium prausnitzii, a deficient commensal bacteria implicated in Crohn's disease (2014)

Oral presentations of genetic risk factors, including these 14 novel loci, were common to both European and non-European IBD. However, the amount of phenotypic variance explained by these loci between populations was clearly heterogeneous, driven by a combination of differences in effect size and allele frequency. Phenotype data was available for 3,986 non-European and 47,799 European patients. There was a male predominance for Crohn's disease (69% vs 45%), more ileocolonic disease (54% vs. 39%) and lower colectomy rates in UC (4% vs 18%) in non-European than European populations. Conclusions: In this largest study to date of genetic risk factors underlying non-European IBD, we identified 14 novel IBD loci increasing the total number of IBD loci to 177. There is pervasive sharing of genetic risk factors between different ethnicities; Despite shared genetics, the relative contributions for individual genes to the variance explained differ between ethnicities. Overall the clinical characteristics are remarkably similar between different ethnicities. The presented similarities and dissimilarities between populations add to the heterogeneity of IBD.

Malet and Ingram: 1869–1886 (2014)

The Board did not immediately fill the vacancy left by Todd's death, but appointed the Assistant Librarian, Benjamin Dickson, to be the acting Librarian. With the summer intervening, it took several months before the process of appointing a new Librarian began in earnest. When it did, Dickson put his name forward, as did Richard Gibbings, now Professor of Ecclesiastical History, and William Reeves, now rector of Tynan, County Armagh, and librarian of the Diocese of Armagh. Interest in the filling of the post was not confined to the College community. The Irish Times published a lengthy editorial in which it compared the relative merits of Dickson and Reeves, whom it regarded as the principal candidates. It claimed that the Library was better supplied ‘with ancient than with modern books’, and in a clear reference to Dickson said that what was needed was a Librarian ‘conversant with the latter department’. In the end the Board selected none of those candidates and again chose to appoint one of its own members, John Adam Malet, a Senior Fellow, elected Librarian on 27 November 1869.
High-Resolution Mid-Infrared Observations of AGN (2006)

This paper represents only a summary of mid-IR observations of four AGN presented at the Spitzer Space Telescope: New Views of the Cosmos conference. For more detail please refer to the corresponding publications. 1. Circinus (Packham et al., 2005, ApJL, 618, L17) We observed sub-arcsecond resolution mid-infrared images of the Seyfert 2 galaxy Circinus (D∼4.2 Mpc) at 8.74 and 18.33μm with the University of Florida designed facility mid-IR imager/spectrometer T-ReCS on Gemini South. We resolve extended emission at both wavelengths, extending ∼2 from each side of the nucleus in an approximate east-west direction. These extensions are spatially coincident with previously detected compact (∼30pc) v-shaped [OIII] emission extending NW of the nucleus. This extended mid-IR emission is also coincident with countercone [SiVI] emission which has been interpreted as delineating the interface between inflowing material and the ionization cone. We detect no extended mid-IR emission associated with the structure responsible for collimating the ionizing photons (i.e. obscuring torus or disk of material) limiting the surface brightness of such a structure to = 0.27mJy or a diameter of = 0.20 (= 4pc).
Tumor cell survival pathways activated by photodynamic therapy: a molecular basis for pharmacological inhibition strategies (2015)

Photodynamic therapy (PDT) has emerged as a promising alternative to conventional cancer therapies such as surgery, chemotherapy, and radiotherapy. PDT comprises the administration of a photosensitizer, its accumulation in tumor tissue, and subsequent irradiation of the photosensitizer-loaded tumor, leading to the localized photoproduction of reactive oxygen species (ROS). The resulting oxidative damage ultimately culminates in tumor cell death, vascular shutdown, induction of an antitumor immune response, and the consequent destruction of the tumor. However, the ROS produced by PDT also triggers a stress response that, as part of a cell survival mechanism, helps cancer cells to cope with the PDT-induced oxidative stress and cell damage. These survival pathways are mediated by the transcription factors activator protein 1 (AP-1), nuclear factor E2-related factor 2 (NRF2), hypoxia-inducible factor 1 (HIF-1), nuclear factor κB (NF-κB), and those that mediate the proteotoxic stress response. The survival pathways are believed to render some types of cancer recalcitrant to PDT and alter the tumor microenvironment in favor of tumor survival. In this review, the molecular mechanisms are elucidated that occur post-PDT to mediate cancer cell survival, on the basis of which pharmacological interventions are proposed. Specifically, pharmaceutical inhibitors of the molecular regulators of each survival pathway are addressed. The ultimate aim is to facilitate the development of adjuvant intervention strategies to improve PDT efficacy in recalcitrant solid tumors.
Twist elastic constants of liquid crystals using in-plane electrode structure (1999)

A new technique for measuring the twist elastic constant (K22) using an in-plane electrode structure was investigated. The variation in the temperature dependence of K22 with respect to the molecular structure of fluorinated phenylbicyclohexane (PBC) compounds was investigated. The experimental cell has in-plane electrodes between which the liquid crystal molecules are aligned to an offset angle of azimuthal direction. Using K22 as a fitting parameter, the transmittance–voltage curves for the calculated results are fitted to those for the experimental results. In addition, the investigation of the temperature dependence of K22 revealed that the PBC compound having a para-cyano substituent at the benzene ring exhibits larger splay elastic constant and larger temperature dependence. Finally, molecular association is discussed based on the experimental results.
