Diffraction Correction in Pulse-Echo Attenuation Measurements (1983)

In the estimation of ultrasound attenuation in biological tissue, diffraction phenomena introduce bias due to their depth dependent filtering effect. The spectral h igh frequency c omposition is enhanced around the focal zone of a focused transducer (or in the far field of a plane transducer). this effect two approaches have been developed and compared: 1) The numerical calculation of the power spectrum of the roundtrip impulse response integrated over an i sochronous volume. The result gives the mean filter introduced by diffraction at a given roundtrip time. 2) An experimental calibration of diffraction is obtained by measuring a gated back-scattered signal coming from a narrow slice s lightly below the surface of a scattering test object, immersed in water. Calibration curves have been used to correct the running spectral moments and result in an important u nbiasing of the attenuation estimate. In order to understand, measure and correct
Gold Nanoshells in Cancer Imaging and Therapy: Towards Clinical Application (2007)

Evaluation of: Gobin AM, Lee MH, Halas NJ, James WD, Drezek RA, West JL: Near-infrared resonant nanoshells for combined optical imaging and photothermal cancer therapy. Nano Lett. 7, 1929–1934 (2007) [1]. Although hyperthermia has been a promising method of cancer treatment for decades, traditional means of heating tissues involve invasive catheters or whole-body heating systems. The use of nanoparticles in hyperthermia therapy has been developed over the last 4 years and involves the near-infrared heating of these nanoshells without harming healthy tissues. The paper under evaluation demonstrates the improved optical imaging of tumors with nanoshells and the improved long-term survival of mice treated with these particles and near-infrared irradiation. The implications of this work and important future steps are explored in this evaluation.
Appearance Harmonization for Single Image Shadow Removal (2016)

Abstract Shadow removal is a challenging problem and previous approaches often produce de‐shadowed regions that are visually inconsistent with the rest of the image. We propose an automatic shadow region harmonization approach that makes the appearance of a de‐shadowed region (produced using any previous technique) compatible with the rest of the image. We use a shadow‐guided patch‐based image synthesis approach that reconstructs the shadow region using patches sampled from non‐shadowed regions. This result is then refined based on the reconstruction confidence to handle unique textures. Qualitative comparisons over a wide range of images, and a quantitative evaluation on a benchmark dataset show that our technique significantly improves upon the state‐of‐the‐art.
Questionnaire Survey on the Japanese Guidelines for Treatment of Hypertension in the Elderly: 1999 Revised Version (2002)

A questionnaire survey was administered to Japanese clinical specialists in hypertension in order to gauge their opinions on the 1999 revised version of the Guidelines for Hypertension in the Elderly prepared by the Comprehensive Research Project on Aging and Health of the Ministry of Health and Welfare. Out of 162 council members of the Japanese Society of Hypertension, 122 (75%) replied. The majority (93%) of respondents approved of the guidelines in general, and 72% of them approved of the age-related setting of a therapeutic goal for blood pressure. Sixty-five percent of respondents selected long-acting Ca antagonists, ACE inhibitors and low-dose diuretics as first-line agents for hypertension without complications in the elderly. The results of the questionnaire survey should be reflected in the next version of the guidelines.
Compositional Gradients in Petroleum Reservoirs (1994)

Abstract This paper describes methods for calculating the one-dimensional, vertical variation in composition with depth caused by gravity and thermal gradients. The Peng-Robinson (PR) and Soave-Redlich-Kwong (SRK) cubic equations of state (EOS) are used as thermodynamic models. Examples of calculated compositional gradients are given for reservoir fluid systems ranging from black oils to near-critical oils. A solution algorithm is suggested for solving the isothermal gravity/chemical equilibrium (GCE) problem. The algorithm is simply an adaptation of a method proposed by Michelsen1 for calculating saturation pressure. The problem of false (unstable) solutions is discussed, and the subsequent need for applying phase stability analysis to identify such false solutions. Finally, an algorithm is given for determining the location of a gas-oil contact (GOC). A model for treating both gravity and thermal gradient has been used to quantify the potential effect of thermal diffusion on compositional grading. The model used was proposed by Belery and da Silva2. Unfortunately, the physics and thermodynamics of thermal diffusion are not well understood. This model is only one of several approaches which have been suggested for treating thermal diffusion. Examples given in our paper show that thermal diffusion can have a marked effect on compositional grading, with the possibility of enhancing, reducing, or completely eliminating gradients caused by gravity alone. We illustrate the potential danger of using gradient calculations for defining original hydrocarbon distributions (oil and gas in place) when limited fluid samples and PVT data are available. Furthermore, guidelines are given for when to use gradient calculations, and how to develop an EOS fluid characterization for reservoirs exhibiting compositional variation.
Data from MicroRNA Array Analysis Finds Elevated Serum miR-1290 Accurately Distinguishes Patients with Low-Stage Pancreatic Cancer from Healthy and Disease Controls (2023)

&lt;div&gt;Abstract&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Purpose:&lt;/b&gt; Our goal was to identify circulating micro RNA (miRNA) levels that could distinguish patients with low-stage pancreatic cancer from healthy and disease controls.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Experimental Design:&lt;/b&gt; We measured 735 miRNAs in pancreatic cancer case and control sera by QRTPCR using TaqMan MicroRNA Arrays. After array analysis, we selected 18 miRNA candidates for validation in an independent set of cases and control samples.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Results:&lt;/b&gt; Of the significantly elevated circulating miRNAs in patients with pancreatic cancer compared with controls, miR-1290 had the best diagnostic performance: receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis on miR-1290 serum level yielded curve areas (AUC) of 0.96 [95% confidence interval (CI), 0.91–1.00], 0.81 (0.71–0.91), and 0.80 (0.67–0.93), for subjects with pancreatic cancer (&lt;i&gt;n&lt;/i&gt; = 41) relative to healthy controls (&lt;i&gt;n&lt;/i&gt; = 19), subjects with chronic pancreatitis (&lt;i&gt;n&lt;/i&gt; = 35), and pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (&lt;i&gt;n&lt;/i&gt; = 18), respectively. Serum miR-1290 levels were also significantly higher than healthy controls among patients with intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm (IPMN; &lt;i&gt;n&lt;/i&gt; = 20; AUC = 0.76, 0.61–0.91). Serum miR-1290 levels distinguished patients with low-stage pancreatic cancer from controls better than CA19-9 levels, and like CA19-9, higher miR-1290 levels predicted poorer outcome among patients undergoing pancreaticoduodenectomy. Greater numbers of miR-1290 transcripts were detected by FISH in primary pancreatic cancer and IPMN than normal pancreatic duct cells. miR-1290 influenced &lt;i&gt;in vitro&lt;/i&gt; pancreatic cancer cell proliferation and invasive ability. Several other circulating miRNAs distinguished sera of patients with pancreatic cancer from those of healthy controls with AUCs &gt;0.7, including miR-24, miR-134, miR-146a, miR-378, miR-484, miR-628-3p, and miR-1825.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Conclusions:&lt;/b&gt; The detection of elevated circulating miR-1290 has the potential to improve the early detection of pancreatic cancer. &lt;i&gt;Clin Cancer Res; 19(13); 3600–10. ©2013 AACR&lt;/i&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
Use cases and derived requirements for a reconfigurable mobile network (2012)

Mounting capital and operational expenditure and reducing revenue per bit is straining the resources of mobile communication network operators. The future mobile communication networks will have to be dynamic; to adapt and re-adapt to the prevailing network conditions to increase operational efficiency. This paper presents the various use cases for such a Reconfigurable Mobile Network (RMN). We believe that the best way of currently achieving this reconfigurability is via virtualization techniques. Virtualization has been touted as the main solution that will ease the revolution to the future Internet and possibly result in a greener and more efficient operation of the current Internet. This paper investigates whether the concept of network virtualization can be re-applied to a mobile operator network to create RMN. We present detailed use cases for a reconfigurable mobile network and discuss the derived requirements on the RMN infrastructure. We see that a number of requirements, such as absolute isolation, may be technically infeasible in the current end-to-end mobile network.

Long-term therapy with terazosin may improve glucose and lipid metabolism in hypertensives: a multicenter prospective study. (1994)

The effects of long-term monotherapy with terazosin, an alpha-1 blocker, on blood pressure, glucose tolerance, and serum lipid profiles were prospectively investigated in 53 hypertensive patients: 19 with normal glucose tolerance (NGT) and 34 with impaired glucose tolerance (IGT). The plasma glucose, serum lipids, fructosamine, and glycosylated hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) levels were determined before and during long-term (6 months) therapy with terazosin. A 75-g oral glucose tolerance test was performed before and during long-term terazosin therapy. Significant falls in both systolic and diastolic blood pressure in both patient groups were maintained during the long-term therapy with terazosin. Neither fasting nor postglucose-load venous plasma glucose levels were altered in either group of patients, and diabetes mellitus did not develop in any patient with NGT during the study. There was no significant change in the insulinogenic index (delta IRI/delta BS at 30 minutes after glucose load) in either patient group. In patients with IGT, glucose intolerance was slightly improved with significant reductions in HbA1c and fructosamine during terazosin therapy. Serum total cholesterol (TC) and triglyceride levels were significantly decreased in patients with IGT. In addition, TC and low density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol were significantly decreased in patients with hypercholesterolemia (TC > 220 mg/dL). These results suggest that long-term therapy with terazosin may improve glucose and lipid metabolism in hypertensive patients and terazosin seems to be an antihypertensive agent with beneficial effects for hypertensive patients with either dyslipidemia or impaired glucose metabolism.
The definitional power of words (1987)

I am deliberate in introducing ambiguity in the title. Part of my thesis in this brief note is going to be that there is a wealth of information relevant to a range of natural language processing functions available and extractable from the definitions of words found in obvious places like dictionaries. By dictionaries here I mean monolingual dictionaries of the style exemplified by, e.g., The
Development of a DNA Microarray for Enterococcal Species, Virulence, and Antibiotic Resistance Gene Determinations among Isolates from Poultry (2011)

A DNA microarray (Enteroarray) was designed with probes targeting four species-specific taxonomic identifiers to discriminate among 18 different enterococcal species, while other probes were designed to identify 18 virulence factors and 174 antibiotic resistance genes. In total, 262 genes were utilized for rapid species identification of enterococcal isolates, while characterizing their virulence potential through the simultaneous identification of endogenous antibiotic resistance and virulence genes. Enterococcal isolates from broiler chicken farms were initially identified by using the API 20 Strep system, and the results were compared to those obtained with the taxonomic genes atpA, recA, pheS, and ddl represented on our microarray. Among the 171 isolates studied, five different enterococcal species were identified by using the API 20 Strep system: Enterococcus faecium, E. faecalis, E. durans, E. gallinarum, and E. avium. The Enteroarray detected the same species as API 20 Strep, as well as two more: E. casseliflavus and E. hirae. Species comparisons resulted in 15% (27 isolates) disagreement between the two methods among the five API 20 Strep identifiable species and 24% (42 isolates) disagreement when considering the seven Enteroarray identified species. The species specificity of key antibiotic and virulence genes identified by the Enteroarray were consistent with the literature adding further robustness to the redundant taxonomic probe data. Sequencing of the cpn60 gene further confirmed the complete accuracy of the microarray results. The new Enteroarray should prove to be a useful tool to accurately genotype strains of enterococci and assess their virulence potential.

Metabolic Changes in Rabbit Lens Induced by Treatment with Dexamethasone (2001)

Metabolic changes in the rabbit lens have been studied by means of nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. These changes have been induced by prolonged topical treatment with dexamethasone. Our results demonstrate an increase in sorbitol, sorbitol-3-phosphate, fructose-3-phosphate, glycerol-3-phosphate and glucose-6-phosphate levels and a decrease in glutathione sulphate (GSH) and myo-inositol levels, in agreement with what was observed in lenses from streptozocin-diabetic rats before lens opacity. The hyperglycaemia can only partially explain all these observed biochemical variations. The lack of increase in the intermediates of pentose cycle, such as sedoheptulose-7-phosphate, seems to support the hypothesis of an inhibition of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase by dexamethasone treatment. Finally dexamethasone treatment induces a decrease in GSH. The decreasing or the loss of GSH has been suggested as a possible pathogenic mechanism in the cataract formation.

Model kinetic study of TiCl4‐induced ionization of polyisobutene capped with diphenylethylene application to the synthesis of block copolymers (1998)

Abstract The use of non‐homopolymerizable monomers such as 1,1‐diphenylethylene (DPE) in the synthesis of functional polymers and block copolymers by cationic polymerization has been recently reported. The most important parameters in this process, the kinetics and extent of ionization and capping as well as the stability of the cation, were investigated by studying the reaction with TiCl 4 of 1‐methoxy‐1,1‐diphenyl‐3,3,5,5‐tetramethylhexane, a model for DPE‐capped polyisobutene chain‐end. This study was performed using 1 H NMR and the high‐purity stopped‐flow device coupled with UV‐visible spectroscopy.
Fermented milks, probiotic cultures, and colon cancer (2004)

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a major cause of death from cancer in the Western world. Approximately 70% of CRC is associated with environmental factors, probably mainly the diet. There is interest in the potential protective role of fermented milks containing probiotic cultures against CRC. This article analyzes the existing data from human, animal, and in vitro studies that explore whether consumption of milks fermented with probiotic cultures could play a role in colon cancer risk reduction. Cohort studies have failed to detect significant effects, but most case-control studies favor a protective role of fermented milks against colon cancer. Interventional studies have shown a shift of intermediate markers of CRC risk in human subjects from a high- to low-risk pattern after ingestion of fermented milks or probiotics. Animal studies consistently show a reduction in chemically induced colorectal tumor incidence and aberrant crypt formation accompanying probiotic administration. In vitro studies also provide evidence of protection, and permit a better understanding of active compounds involved, and of the mechanisms underlying their anticarcinogenic effects. Probiotics may beneficially modulate several major intestinal functions: detoxification, colonic fermentation, transit, and immune status, which may accompany the development of colon cancer. Although the evidence is not conclusive and much further research is required, the data reviewed constitute a promising body of evidence supporting the protective role of milks fermented with probiotic cultures in colon cancer risk reduction.
Fingerprint Authentication Using Optical Characteristics in a Finger (2006)

Fingerprint is widely used in various personal authentication applications. It is because that fingerprints can achieve the best balance among authentication performance, cost, size of device, and ease of use. However, most of current fingerprint sensors have some problems to be solved. Those are that captured fingerprint images are easily affected by the condition of the finger surface and the manner of finger pressing due to the sensing principle, and it can degrade authentication performance. To solve these problems, we have developed a new fingerprint sensor that has a novel sensing principle. This sensor forms a fingerprint image based on optical characteristics of a finger's interior by scattered transmission light. Therefore, the images so obtained are not easily affected by the condition of the finger surface such as wet, wrinkled, and so on, and enable stable authentication. In this paper, we describe the operating principle of the new fingerprint sensor using optical characteristics in a finger, and show the effectiveness of the sensor by illustrating obtained fingerprint images
