Electronic Properties of Amorphous Indium-gallium-zinc Oxide Thin Film Fabricated by Magnetron Sputtering (2015)

Amorphous indium-gallium-zinc oxide (aIGZO) thin films were fabricated using midfrequency AC magnetron sputtering deposition with variable oxygen flow rate and sputtering current. The influence of processing parameters on the electronic properties of the films was investigated by means of analyses of XRD and XRF, as well as Hall Effect measurement. The results show that all the samples are amorphous with compositions roughly equal to that of the target. The change of sputtering current had no significant effect on the electronic properties. But the carrier concentration of the samples exhibited an obvious change as the increase of the O2 flow rate, which slightly increased and then rapidly decreased. The samples with higher carrier concentration exhibited larger Hall mobility. The average transmission of the IGZO thin films deposited with large O2 flow rate is above 90%.
No apparent association between bipolar disorder and cancer in a large epidemiological study of outpatients in a managed care population (2017)

An association between bipolar disorder (BD) and cancer risk has been reported. The purpose of this study was to investigate this association through linkage analysis of a national HMO database and a national cancer registry. All members of the Leumit Health Services (LHS) HMO of Israel from 2000 to 2012 were included. Members with a recorded diagnosis of BD and a record of at least one written or dispensed prescription for pharmacotherapy for treatment of BD were classified as patients with BD. We linked the LHS population with the Israel National Cancer Registry database to capture all cases of cancer reported. Standardized incidence ratios (SIRs) for cancer in the BD population as compared with non-BD LHS members were calculated. A total of 870 323 LHS members were included in the analysis; 3304 of whom met the criteria for inclusion in the BD arm. We identified 24 515 and 110 cancer cases among members without BD and with BD, respectively. Persons with BD were no more likely than other HMO members to be diagnosed with cancer during the follow-up period [SIR, males=0.91, 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.66-1.22; SIR, females=1.15, 95% CI: 0.89-1.47]. Sensitivity analysis using different criteria for positive BD classification (lithium treatment alone or registered physician diagnosis) had no effect on the estimate of cancer risk. A nonstatistically significant association between breast cancer and BD among women was observed (SIR=1.24, 95% CI: 0.79-1.86). These findings do not corroborate previously reported associations between BD and elevated cancer risk.
Modelling and validation of electromechanical shock absorbers (2013)

Electromechanical vehicle suspension systems represent a promising substitute to conventional hydraulic solutions. However, the design of electromechanical devices that are able to supply high damping forces without exceeding geometric dimension and mass constraints is a difficult task. All these challenges meet in off-road vehicle suspension systems, where the power density of the dampers is a crucial parameter. In this context, the present paper outlines a particular shock absorber configuration where a suitable electric machine and a transmission mechanism are utilised to meet off-road vehicle requirements. A dynamic model is used to represent the device. Subsequently, experimental tests are performed on an actual prototype to verify the functionality of the damper and validate the proposed model.

Transtibial energy-storage-and-return prosthetic devices: a review of energy concepts and a proposed nomenclature. (2002)

Prosthetic devices that can store and return energy during gait enhance the mobility and functionality of lower-limb amputees. The process of selecting and fitting such devices is complicated, partly because of confusing literature on the topic. Gait analysis methods for measuring energy characteristics are often incomplete, leading to inconsistencies in the energy classifications of different products. These inconsistencies are part of the reason for the lack of universally accurate terminology in the field. Inaccurate terminology perpetuates misunderstanding. In this paper, important prosthetic energy concepts and methods for measuring energy characteristics are reviewed. Then a technically accurate nomenclature and a method of functional classification are proposed. This review and proposed classification scheme should help to alleviate confusion and should facilitate enhancement of the design, selection, and fitting of prosthetic limbs for amputee patients.

Emetine induces chemosensitivity and reduces clonogenicity of acute myeloid leukemia cells (2016)

Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is an hematologic neoplasia characterized by the accumulation of transformed immature myeloid cells in bone marrow. Although the response rate to induction therapy is high, survival rate 5-year after diagnosis is still low, highlighting the necessity of new novel agents. To identify agents with the capability to abolish the self-renewal capacity of AML blasts, an in silico screening was performed to search for small molecules that induce terminal differentiation. Emetine, a hit compound, was validated for its anti-leukemic effect in vitro, ex vivo and in vivo. Emetine, a second-line anti-protozoa drug, differentially reduced cell viability and clonogenic capacity of AML primary patient samples, sparing healthy blood cells. Emetine treatment markedly reduced AML burden in bone marrow of xenotransplanted mice and decreased self-renewal capacity of the remaining engrafted AML cells. Emetine also synergized with commonly used chemotherapeutic agents such as ara-C. At a molecular level, emetine treatment was followed by a reduction in HIF-1α protein levels. This study validated the anti-leukemiceffect of emetine in AML cell lines, a group of diverse AML primary samples, and in a human AML-transplanted murine model, sparing healthy blood cells. The selective anti-leukemic effect of emetine together with the safety of the dose range required to exert this effect support the development of this agent in clinical practice.
Taking Articulation Work Seriously - an Activity Theoretical Approach (1997)

All work needs to be articulated in terms of Who should do what, how, when and where, and this becomes more complicated as more actors are involved. The use of computers in cooperative work implies new needs for articulations due to the individual''s dynamic and changing situation in respect to collective and individual aspects. The computers should mediate both categories of activities, without hampering the alternation between them. In the conceptualisation of articulation work, the paper presents a framework that is aimed at exploring and analysing this complexity of articulation. Basic principles from activity theory constitute an appropriate approach in this respect.
β-Adrenergic Activation of the Renin-Angiotensin System Following α2-, α1-, or Nonselective α-Blockade in Conscious Dogs (1984)

We analyzed the role of the renin-angiotensin system following alpha 2-, alpha 1-, or nonselective alpha-blockade in an intact organism in which both postsynaptic alpha-adrenoceptor types contribute to adrenergic vasoconstriction. In conscious dogs, alpha 2-blockade (0.3 mg/kg rauwolscine, n = 10) increased mean arterial pressure by 40 mm Hg, while hypotension by 8 mm Hg occurred following nonselective alpha-blockade (1.5 mg/kg phentolamine, n = 9) and by 20 mm Hg following alpha 1-blockade (1.2 mg/kg prazosin, n = 10). Plasma angiotensin II (pg/ml) rose by 103 +/- 28 (SEM), 143 +/- 48, and 58 +/- 15 following alpha 2-, nonselective alpha-, or alpha 1-blockade, respectively. While alpha 2- or nonselective alpha-blockade induced tachycardia and substantial elevations of plasma catecholamines, alpha 1-blockade did not. Beta-Blockade (2 mg/kg nadolol) attenuated the elevations of angiotensin following alpha 2- or nonselective alpha-blockade by 100 and 88%, respectively, without affecting the alpha 1-blockade-induced elevation, which is mainly mediated by the hypotension. Pretreatment with 3 mg/kg captopril reduced the pressure increase induced by alpha 2-blockade from 40 to 13 +/- 10 mm Hg and aggravated the decline in blood pressure induced by nonselective alpha-blockade from 8 to greater than 50 mm Hg. In anesthetized, spinalized dogs, both types of alpha-blockade competitively antagonized the pressor effect of the alpha 2-agonist azepexole by the same degree. It is concluded that, in the intact animal, the central and peripheral presynaptic augmentation of sympathoexcitation induced by alpha 2- or nonselective alpha-blockade leads to a strong beta-adrenergic activation of the renin-angiotensin system, independent of the concomitant changes in blood pressure. The constrictive action of the activation contributes substantially to the compensation of the vascular adrenoceptor blockade induced by nonselective or alpha 2-selective blockade in the intact organism.
Verifying Multi-Particle Entanglement with a Few Detection Events (2019)

<b>SIGMOISIDE E: A NEW ANTIBACTERIAL TRITERPENOID SAPONIN FROM <i>ERYTHRINA SIGMOIDEA</i> (HUA)</b> (2007)

Chemical analysis of the stem bark of Erythrina sigmoidea (Leguminoseae) yielded two known isoflavones, 6,8-diprenylgenisteine (3) and warangalone (4) as well as a new triterpenoid saponin designated sigmoiside E (1). Its structure was established by chemical and spectroscopic means as 16-O-&beta;-D-galactopyranosyl maniladiol (1). Sigmoiside E exhibited antibacterial activity against gram-negative bacteria. KEY WORDS: Erythrina sigmoidea, Stem bark, Triterpenoid, Saponin, Isoflavone, Leguminoseae Bull. Chem. Soc. Ethiop. 2007, 21(3), 373-378.
Love Wave Characterization of the Shear Modulus Variations of Mesoporous Sensitive Films During Vapor Sorption (2011)

Anomalous responses of acoustic humidity sensors coated with mesoporous titania sensitive films have been observed at high humidity levels, due to capillary contraction that alters the film mechanical behavior. As the methods commonly used to assess the elasticity of thin films are difficult to apply during sorption, a dedicated method for the characterization of the variations of the elastic shear modulus of thin films under humidity exposure has been developed. The method combines a Love wave platform with environmental ellipsometric porosimetry (EEP). In the presented approach, EEP measures the thickness of the film and the adsorbed humidity volume fraction under vapor exposure, while the Love wave platform provides the phase velocity shifts induced by water sorption. These parameters then feed an accurate model of Love wave propagation in the multilayered platform for the derivation of the shear modulus of the sensitive film. The method was applied to 100 ± 10 nm thick mesoporous titania films, with 25 ± 1% porosity, under relative humidity exposure in the 3%-95% range. It successfully determined decreases of 39% and 67% of the shear modulus during adsorption and desorption, respectively, from a 3.1 GPa initial value.

Impurity-free vacancy disordering of quantum wells for fabrication of multiple wavelength laser arrays (1998)

Summary form only given. The spin-on dielectric encapsulation layers were used to generate the Ga vacancies at the interface of GaAs and the spin-on dielectric encapsulation layer. The significant shift of the emission photoluminescence peak wavelength was observed in AlGaAs-GaAs and InGaAs-GaAs QWs, as a result of the Ga vacancy-enhanced disordering. Attention was focused on how to control the degrees of QW intermixing at selective areas.
Performance Analysis of Coded Cooperation Diversity in Wireless Networks (2006)

Diversity is an effective technique in enhancing the link quality and increasing network capacity. When multiple antennas can not be used in mobile units, user cooperation can be employed to provide transmit diversity. In this paper we analyze the error performance of coded cooperation diversity with multiple cooperating users. We derive the end-to-end bit error probability of coded cooperation (averaged over all cooperation scenarios). We consider different fading distributions for the interuser channels. Furthermore, we consider the case of two cooperating users with correlated uplink channels. Results show that more cooperating users should be allowed under good interuser channel conditions, while it suffices to have two cooperating users in adverse interuser conditions. Furthermore, under bad interuser conditions, more cooperating users can be accommodated as the fading distribution becomes more random.
A Study on Realism Films Produced During the Korean War: Focusing on <The Street of Sun> and <The Evil Night> (2023)

&lt;The Street of Sun&gt;(1952) and &lt;The Evil Night&gt;(1952) have been regarded as representative realism films produced during the Korean War. Just as Italian Neorealism came about World War II, Korean realism films in the 1950s also appeared with the Korean War. &lt;The Street of Sun&gt;(1952) and &lt;The Evil Night&gt;(1952) depicted the everyday scenery of Korean society, And critics at the time called these films a work of (Neo)realism. In terms of narrative, &lt;The Street of Sun&gt; is similar to the realism films produced in Japanese colonial era, &lt;Tuition&gt;(1940) and &lt;Angeles on the Streets&gt;(1941). Since the filming of &lt;The Evil Night&gt; was conducted even before the outbreak of the Korean War, there were parts that did not fit the reality of the time. However, as director Shin Sang-ok recalls, &lt;The Evil Night&gt; borrowed Neorealistic styles and depicted various lower-class people. Therefore, most of the reviews evaluated &lt;The Evil Night&gt; as an exemplary (Neo)realism work. Critics took note of that the Italian film industry gained worldwide fame despite the difficult situation caused by the war. So they hoped that young Korean directors would create new trends such as Neorealism.
Immediate Cytokine Responses to Endotoxin: Tumor Necrosis Factor-α and the lnterleukin-1 Family (2020)

Scientists at DNAX analyzed the computer-generated protein folding pattern of murine induced interferon-gamma inducing factor and compared its pattern to those of other cytokines. The concept of anti-inflammatory cytokine therapy in humans is expanding. Reduction of activity of IL-1 or tumor necrosis factor (TNF) in patients with rheumatoid arthritis in large placebo-controlled, double-blinded trials has been reported. The mechanism for IL-l/TNF synergism in the synthesis for prostaglandin E2 likely involves the ability of these cytokines to release arachidonate and to stimulate cyclooxygenase type-2 synthesis. The mechanism for synergism may also involve receptor modulation; however, in the case of IL-1 and TNF synergism, receptors for TNF are downregulated by IL-1. Endotoxin stimulates the signaling kinase pathway as does IL-1 and TNF. Preventing the activity of IL-18 is a sensible clinical strategy. The concept of anti-inflammatory cytokine therapy in humans is expanding. Reduction of activity of IL-1 or TNF in patients with rheumatoid arthritis in large placebo-controlled, double-blinded trials has been reported.
Incorporating Long-Acting Insulin Glargine Into the UVA/Padova Type 1 Diabetes Simulator forIn SilicoTesting of MDI Therapies (2019)

In silico testing of MDI therapies can help designing clinical trials. Due to the more standardized settings in silico (e.g., standardized meals and strict adherence to titration rule), any potential treatment effect is reaching statistical significance in simulation vs. clinical trial.
A modular, flexible and virtualizable framework for IEEE 802.11 (2012)

Abstract: Wireless networks are extensively deployed due to their low cost and configuration easiness. However, they are not adapted to the new services and applications that are increasingly demanded by users. Current implementation of the IEEE 802.11 specification is supported in hardware devices and software developments, but they do not provide the adaptability that would enhance user experience in next generation networks. In this paper, we present a new wireless framework, based on the one currently supported by the Linux stack: mac80211. This new framework, named mac80211++, has been tailored to improve MAC features in terms of: (i) modularity, by defining different 802.11 MAC services; (ii) flexibility, by enabling dynamic configurability of the 802.11 MAC; (iii) virtualization, by managing parallel independent 802.11 MACs accessing the same system resources. Keywords: IEEE 802.11, WLAN, architecture, framework, mac80211, driver

Information Use-Control in E-Government Applications (2008)

Within the process of globalization and the permeation of all areas of life by technology, electronic government (e-government) is becoming a powerful tool that will effectively integrate and manage the huge amount of existing information, as well as seamlessly integrating citizen interaction with its services (Abie et al., 2004). E-government is the use of ICTs in public administration in combination with organizational changes and the development of new skills, in order to improve public services and democratic processes, and to strengthen support for public policies. The concept of mobile government (m-government) refers to the use of mobile wireless communication technology within government administration and in its delivery of services and information to citizens and firms (Ostberg, 2003). Digital government is a general term which includes e-government and m-government. In this digital world the management and protection of digital information content, and the rights associated with this, from unauthorized access, use, and dissemination has been a matter of concern for many rights holders. Moreover, the protection of privacy has been a matter of great concern for many citizens.
Syndecan from embryonic tooth mesenchyme binds tenascin. (1991)

Syndecan is a cell surface heparan sulfate-rich proteoglycan found on various epithelial cells but also in some embryonic mesenchymal tissues. We have immunoisolated syndecan from embryonic tooth mesenchyme that appeared as a 250-300-kDa molecule (Kav = 0.3 in Sepharose 4B), containing only heparan sulfate side chains (Mr = 35,000). Northern analysis of whole tooth germs and tooth mesenchymes also revealed high expression of syndecan mRNAs (2.6 and 3.4 kilobases). In the binding assay utilizing nitrocellulose as a solid phase to immobilize matrix molecules, syndecan immunoisolated from tooth mesenchyme revealed binding to tenascin, and this interaction was shown to be mediated via heparan sulfate side chains. In contrast, syndecan from mouse mammary epithelial cells showed only weak interaction with tenascin. We propose that syndecan and tenascin may represent interactions of a cell surface receptor and a matrix ligand involved in mesenchymal cell condensation and differentiation during early organogenesis.
The Growing Impact of Catalysis in the Pharmaceutical Industry (2011)

Abstract Catalysis has become increasingly important for the pharmaceutical industry. Catalysis is a critical technology that enables economical and environmentally‐sound manufacturing processes. The development of a viable catalytic process for industrial scales is a complex task that requires the collaboration of multiple disciplines. In this article, a number of selected, noteworthy industrial examples are discussed to showcase the catalytic technologies that have been successfully practiced on large scales for active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) synthesis, involving transition metal catalysis, biocatalysis and organocatalysis. In addition, several examples of potential and future catalytic transformations are included which can be utilized in pharmaceutical industry in large‐scale operational settings.
