Factors contributing to spontaneous Enterocytozoon bieneusi infection in simian immunodeficiency virus‐infected macaques (2006)

Acquisition of E. bieneusi infection is related to SIV disease progression, CD4 counts and viral load but independent of changes in body composition and serum micronutrient levels.
AN INVESTIGATION OF THE RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN MANUFACTURING FLEXIBILITY AND CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT: A CASE STUDY (2023)

Manufacturing flexibility is commonly thought to require radical changes in business processes requiring large amounts of capital. This paper is an attempt to investigate the relationships between manufacturing flexibility and continuous improvement practices. It is hypothesized that continuous improvement efforts increase manufacturing flexibility by increasing the available manufacturing capacity. This paper introduces a measure of capacity-related flexibility, called the Capacity Flexibility Index (CFI), that measures the capability of the capacity available to deal with any changes in demand. Also, it defines a measure, called the Potential of Continuous Improvement (PCI), as a measure of the potential for continuous improvement efforts to improve manufacturing flexibility. These propositions are examined using data from a case study in an electronics manufacturing firm. This research results in significant relationships (with positive correlations) between volume, delivery time, product mix, and new product flexibilities and capacity flexibility, represented by CFI. Also, it is found that to improve flexibility, effectiveness of continuous improvement is significantly associated (with positive correlation) to the value of PCI. It suggests that there is a limit in using continuous improvement to increase flexibility. Since it is a single case study, generalization to all cases is limited until relationships are studied further using a reasonable number of cases.

Effect of grain size on the R-curve behavior of lead zirconate titanate (PZT) (2001)

R-curves were measured for ferroelectric ceramic lead zirconate titanate (PZT) with two different grain sizes using the surface crack in flexure technique. Larger grain size resulted in a higher plateau value of the R-curve. This was consistent with the larger amount of ferroelastic switching observed from the stress/strain curve.
Two-dimensional visual search (2013)

Consider the problem of sequentially searching for a single target in an image. Let the image be divided into M × M equal sized segments where M determines the resolution of the search. The goal is to find the segment that contains the target quickly and accurately. In each step, the player can visually inspect an allowable combination of the segments, and the outcome of the inspection is noisy. In this paper, a lower bound on the optimal total cost is derived. Furthermore, two heuristic policies are considered: A policy that visually inspects a segment with the highest probability of having the target; and a policy that in each step inspects a combination that maximizes the Extrinsic Jensen- Shannon divergence. Via numerical and asymptotic analysis, the performance of the above policies are investigated.

A soft-competitive splitting rule for adaptive tree-structured neural networks (2003)

An algorithm for generating tree structured neural networks using a soft-competitive recursive partitioning rule is described. It is demonstrated that this algorithm grows robust, honest estimators. Preliminary results on a 10-class, 240-dimensional optical character recognition classification task show that the tree outperforms backpropagation. Arguments are made that suggest why this should be the case. The connection of the soft-competitive splitting rule to the twoing rule is described.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">&gt;</ETX>
Practical aspects of symptom management in patients with cancer (2010)

In addition to treating the patient's underlying malignancy, high-quality cancer care requires comprehensive symptom management. As stated by the Institute of Medicine, one of the goals of symptom management for those at the end of life is to prevent or relieve all avoidable suffering. But what is suffering? According to Cassell, suffering occurs not merely in a body but in a person in whom intactness is threatened. To reduce suffering, clinicians must come to understand their patients robustly. All patients have narratives of their illness that include their personal history, families, daily routines, and spirituality (Figure 21.1). In practical terms, thoroughly understanding patients' situations and helping them stay free of avoidable suffering is a lofty goal. To achieve that goal, clinicians must understand the definition of suffering (including what suffering might be considered unavoidable), know how to identify and monitor a patient's suffering over time, and be able to formulate a plan for preventing or eliminating that suffering.
A Full Probabilistic Model for Yes/No Type Crowdsourcing in Multi-Class Classification (2019)

Crowdsourcing has become widely used in supervised scenarios where training sets are scarce and difficult to obtain. Most crowdsourcing models in the literature assume labelers can provide answers to full questions. In classification contexts, full questions require a labeler to discern among all possible classes. Unfortunately, discernment is not always easy in realistic scenarios. Labelers may not be experts in differentiating all classes. In this work, we provide a full probabilistic model for a shorter type of queries. Our shorter queries only require “yes” or “no” responses. Our model estimates a joint posterior distribution of matrices related to labelers' confusions and the posterior probability of the class of every object. We developed an approximate inference approach, using Monte Carlo Sampling and Black Box Variational Inference, which provides the derivation of the necessary gradients. We built two realistic crowdsourcing scenarios to test our model. The first scenario queries for irregular astronomical time-series. The second scenario relies on the image classification of animals. We achieved results that are comparable with those of full query crowdsourcing. Furthermore, we show that modeling labelers' failures plays an important role in estimating true classes. Finally, we provide the community with two real datasets obtained from our crowdsourcing experiments.
Arrays of position sensitive virtual Frisch-grid detectors (Conference Presentation) (2017)

We present new results from testing a small array of position-sensitive virtual Frisch-grid gamma-ray detectors. Such arrays provide high-detection efficiency, excellent energy and position resolution. They can be used in compact hand-held instruments or in large-area gamma ray imaging cameras. The high granularity position sensing enables these detectors to correct the response non-uniformity caused by crystal defects. This important feature allows one to achieve high detection performance while using standard-grade (unselected) CZT crystals, which is expected to reduce the overall cost of field deployable high-resolution CZT gamma ray detection instruments. Here, we report the results of testing several array prototypes with configurations designed for different applications.

Solute–Solvent Interactions in Modern Physical Organic Chemistry: Supramolecular Polymers as a Muse (2020)

Interactions between solvents and solutes are a cornerstone of physical organic chemistry and have been the subject of investigations over the last century. In recent years, a renewed interest in fundamental aspects of solute-solvent interactions has been sparked in the field of supramolecular chemistry in general and that of supramolecular polymers in particular. Although solvent effects in supramolecular chemistry have been recognized for a long time, the unique opportunities that supramolecular polymers offer to gain insight into solute-solvent interactions have become clear relatively recently. The multiple interactions that hold the supramolecular polymeric structure together are similar in strength to those between solute and solvent. The cooperativity found in ordered supramolecular polymers leads to the possibility of amplifying these solute-solvent effects and will shed light on extremely subtle solvation phenomena. As a result, many exciting effects of solute-solvent interactions in modern physical organic chemistry can be studied using supramolecular polymers. Our aim is to put the recent progress into a historical context and provide avenues toward a more comprehensive understanding of solvents in multicomponent supramolecular systems.

An analysis of the transcriptome of Teladorsagia circumcincta: its biological and biotechnological implications (2012)

We have annotated a large dataset ESTs of T. circumcincta and undertaken detailed comparative bioinformatics analyses. The results provide a comprehensive insight into the molecular biology of this parasite and disease manifestation which provides potential focal point for future research. We identified a number of pathways responsible for immune response. This type of large-scale computational scanning could be coupled with proteomic and metabolomic studies of this parasite leading to novel therapeutic intervention and disease control strategies. We have also successfully affirmed the use of bioinformatics tools, for the study of ESTs, which could now serve as a benchmark for the development of new computational EST analysis pipelines.
Mycobacteria-Specific Cytokine Responses Detect Tuberculosis Infection and Distinguish Latent from Active Tuberculosis (2015)

We identified several mycobacteria-specific cytokine biomarkers with the potential to be exploited for immunodiagnosis. Incorporation of these biomarkers into future immunodiagnostic assays for TB could result in substantial gains in sensitivity and allow the distinction between LTBI and active TB based on a blood test alone.
Acoustically induced streaming flows near a model cod otolith and their potential implications for fish hearing (2011)

The ears of fishes are remarkable sensors for the small acoustic disturbances associated with underwater sound. For example, each ear of the Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua) has three dense bony bodies (otoliths) surrounded by fluid and tissue, and detects sounds at frequencies from 30 to 500 Hz. Atlantic cod have also been shown to localize sounds. However, how their ears perform these functions is not fully understood. Steady streaming, or time-independent, flows near a 350% scale model Atlantic cod otolith immersed in a viscous fluid were studied to determine if these fluid flows contain acoustically relevant information that could be detected by the ear's sensory hair cells. The otolith was oscillated sinusoidally at various orientations at frequencies of 8-24 Hz, corresponding to an actual frequency range of 280-830 Hz. Phase-locked particle pathline visualizations of the resulting flows give velocity, vorticity, and rate of strain fields over a single plane of this mainly two-dimensional flow. Although the streaming flows contain acoustically relevant information, the displacements due to these flows are likely too small to explain Atlantic cod hearing abilities near threshold. The results, however, may suggest a possible mechanism for detection of ultrasound in some fish species.

ENDOSCOPIC FACTORS IN THE DIAGNOSIS OF COLORECTAL DYSPLASIA IN CHRONIC INFLAMMATORY BOWEL DISEASE (2004)

Purpose: We sought to determine if any procedure-related factors during surveillance colonoscopy were associated with the diagnosis of colorectal neoplasia. Methods: We reviewed the Mayo Clinic endoscopic database and medical records of patients with IBD who underwent surveillance colonoscopy between January 2002 and November 2003. Associations were sought between procedure-related variables and the diagnosis of dysplasia. Results: We evaluated 757 surveillance colonoscopies carried out in 635 patients. Five hundred thirty five patients with ulcerative colitis, 93 patients with Crohn's disease and 7 patients with indeterminate colitis were evaluated retrospectively. The median age of the patients enrolled in the study was 51 years (range 19–87). Among 635 IBD patients, 24 (3.8%) had flat dysplasia and 12 (1.9%) had IBD-related polypoid dysplasia. In 28 patients (4.4%), sporadic tubular adenoma was identified. Eighty-three patients had inflammatory orhyperplastic polyps that were biopsied or removed during the procedure. The median total procedure duration for surveillance colonoscopy in this study was 23 minutes. The presence of polyps appeared to lengthen the procedure, with a median procedure duration of 30 minutes (range 2–74) compared to 22 minutes (range 3–81) in colonoscopies without polyps, p <0.0001. Colonoscopies in which flat dysplasia was identified took a median duration of 24.5 minutes (range 7–81), compared to 22 minutes (range 3–70) for those in which dysplasia was not found. Using logistic regression analysis, we found that every additional minute in total colonoscopy time increased the flat dysplasia diagnosis rate by 3.5%, p = 0.0157. There was a significant correlation between median surveillance colonoscopy duration per endoscopist and flat dysplasia diagnosis rate, p = 0.0066. The median number of biopsies obtained per procedure was 25, range 2–54. There was no significant difference in the median number of biopsies taken during the procedures with (28, range 6–36) and without (25, range 2–54) flat dysplasia. Conclusions: There is variance in surveillance colonoscopy practice even in the same institution among endoscopists. Spending more time during surveillance colonoscopy of IBD might increase dysplasia yield.
Genomic analysis of cultivated infant microbiomes identifies Bifidobacterium 2’-fucosyllactose utilization can be facilitated by co-existing species (2023)

Abstract Human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs) ensure proper infant gut microbiome establishment. Isolate studies have revealed the genetic basis for HMO metabolism, but they exclude the possibility of HMO assimilation via synergistic interactions involving multiple organisms. Here, we investigated microbiome responses to 2’-fucosyllactose (2’FL), a prevalent HMO and infant formula additive, by establishing individualized microbiomes using fecal samples from three different infants as the inocula. Bifidobacterium breve , a prominent member of infant microbiomes, typically cannot metabolize 2’FL. Using metagenomic data, we predicted that extracellular fucosidases encoded by co-existing members such as Ruminococcus gnavus initiate 2’FL breakdown, thus critical for B. breve’s growth. Using both targeted co-cultures and by supplementation of R. gnavus into one microbiome, we show that R. gnavus can promote extensive growth of B. breve through the release of lactose from 2’FL. Overall, microbiome cultivation combined with genome-resolved metagenomics demonstrated that HMO utilization can vary with an individual’s microbiome.
Video super-resolution based on local invariant features matching (2012)

This paper presents an algorithm for video super-resolution based on scale-invariant feature transform (SIFT) matching. SIFT features are known to be a robust method for locating keypoints. The matching of these keypoints from different frames in a video allows us to infer high-frequency information in order to perform example-based super-resolution. We first apply a block constrained keypoint detection for a more precise superposition of features. Later, we extract high-frequency information with a gradient-based matching scheme. Our results indicate gains over interpolation and previous example-based super-resolution approaches.
Observation of strongly forbidden solid effect dynamic nuclear polarization transitions via electron-electron double resonance detected NMR (2013)

We present electron paramagnetic resonance experiments for which solid effect dynamic nuclear polarization transitions were observed indirectly via polarization loss on the electron. This use of indirect observation allows characterization of the dynamic nuclear polarization (DNP) process close to the electron. Frequency profiles of the electron-detected solid effect obtained using trityl radical showed intense saturation of the electron at the usual solid effect condition, which involves a single electron and nucleus. However, higher order solid effect transitions involving two, three, or four nuclei were also observed with surprising intensity, although these transitions did not lead to bulk nuclear polarization--suggesting that higher order transitions are important primarily in the transfer of polarization to nuclei nearby the electron. Similar results were obtained for the SA-BDPA radical where strong electron-nuclear couplings produced splittings in the spectrum of the indirectly observed solid effect conditions. Observation of high order solid effect transitions supports recent studies of the solid effect, and suggests that a multi-spin solid effect mechanism may play a major role in polarization transfer via DNP.
Essential Lysine Residues in the RNA Polymerase Domain of the Gene 4 Primase-Helicase of Bacteriophage T7 (2001)

At a replication fork DNA primase synthesizes oligoribonucleotides that serve as primers for the lagging strand DNA polymerase. In the bacteriophage T7 replication system, DNA primase is encoded by gene 4 of the phage. The 63-kDa gene 4 protein is composed of two major domains, a helicase domain and a primase domain located in the C- and N-terminal halves of the protein, respectively. T7 DNA primase recognizes the sequence 5'-NNGTC-3' via a zinc motif and catalyzes the template-directed synthesis of tetraribonucleotides pppACNN. T7 DNA primase, like other primases, shares limited homology with DNA-dependent RNA polymerases. To identify the catalytic core of the T7 DNA primase, single-point mutations were introduced into a basic region that shares sequence homology with RNA polymerases. The genetically altered gene 4 proteins were examined for their ability to support phage growth, to synthesize functional primers, and to recognize primase recognition sites. Two lysine residues, Lys-122 and Lys-128, are essential for phage growth. The two residues play a key role in the synthesis of phosphodiester bonds but are not involved in other activities mediated by the protein. The altered primases are unable to either synthesize or extend an oligoribonucleotide. However, the altered primases do recognize the primase recognition sequence, anneal an exogenous primer 5'-ACCC-3' at the site, and transfer the primer to T7 DNA polymerase. Other lysines in the vicinity are not essential for the synthesis of primers.
