Cambio de plataforma: Un nuevo concepto en implantología dental para controlar los niveles de la cresta ósea tras la restauración (2006)

Las observaciones histologicas y radiograficas sugieren que existe una dimension biologica de los tejidos duros y blandos que rodean los implantes dentales, y que se extiende hacia apical desde la interfase entre implante y pilar. Pueden ponerse de manifiesto evidencias radiograficas del desarrollo de la dimension biologica a traves de la recolocacion vertical de la cresta osea y la posterior insercion del tejido blando en el implante, que se produce cuando este se descubre y se le expone al entorno oral, y despues de fijarle los componentes restauradores del diametro correspondiente. Desde un punto de vista historico se han restaurado los sistemas implantarios de dos piezas con componentes protesicos, cuya interfase entre el implante y el componente fijado se localiza en el borde externo de la implantaria. En 1991, Implant Innovations introdujo los implantes de diametro ancho, con las correspondientes plataformas de mayor diametro. Sin embargo, al introducirlos, no se disponia de componentes protesicos del diametro correspondiente, y sobre muchos de los primeros implantes de 5 y 6 mm de anchura se colocaron pilares de cicatrizacion del diametro «estandar» (4, 1 mm), y se restauraron con componentes protesicos tambien de diametro «estandar» (4, 1 mm), El seguimiento radiografico a largo plazo de estos implantes dentales de diametro ancho restaurados con plataforma modificada ha puesto de manifiesto un cambio vertical menor del esperado en la altura de la cresta osea que rodea estos implantes, respecto al que se observa de forma tipica alrededor de los implantes restaurados de forma convencional con componentes protesicos de diametros ajustados. Esta observacion radiografica sugiere que el proceso biologico resultante tras la restauracion, que da lugar a la perdida de altura de la cresta osea, se altera cuando el borde externo de la interfase entre implante y pilar se recoloca horizontalmente hacia dentro y se aleja del borde externo de la implantaria. Este articulo introduce el concepto de cambio de y proporciona los fundamentos del futuro desarrollo de la comprension biologica de los hallazgos radiograficos observados, y la justificacion clinica de esta tecnica.
Wear mechanism of binder-less cBN tool on high speed turning of gray cast iron. (2002)

The wear mechanism of a binder-less cBN tool on the high speed turning of the gray cast iron was investigated. The tool material was characterized to have excellent both mechanical and thermal properties, owing to microstructure consisting of single phase cBN with extremely fine grain, resulting in confined flank wear in the initial stage of turning at condition of V=33.33m/s. The confined flank wear extended the tool life as long as 16 times compared to that of the conventional type of cBN tool. According to the precise observation of the tool surface in the course of the turning operation, an A1 2O 3 based adhered layer from workpiece was build-up on the tool flank face. The adhered layer became to exert as a protective film which prevented direct contact between tool and workpiece, resulting in a significant decrease in tool flank wear. In the turning of the workpiece material with lower Al content, the tool life was shortened because of lower possibility of formation of the adhered layer. The tool life was also shortened at the turning speed higher than V=40.00m/s. X-ray diffractometry and scanning electron microscopy of the adhered layer formed in the higher speed conditions, clarified that the layer consisted of a spinel type MgAl 2O 4 crystal which has inferior mechanical properties compared to A1 2O 3
Comportement mécanique et osmotique d'une membrane semi-perméable d'acétate de cellulose utilisée dans une nouvelle endoprothèse vasculaire (2008)

Malgré des propriétés intéressantes de conversion d'énergie chimique en énergie mécanique, le processus osmotique, omniprésent dans la nature, est très peu utilisé pour des applications industrielles ou biomédicales. Dans ce travail, il est envisagé de concevoir des joints gonflables par osmose capables d'éliminer les endofuites se produisant chez certains patients possédant une endoprothèse pour anévrisme de l'aorte abdominale. Le travail présenté ici porte plus particulièrement sur la caractérisation osmo-mécanique du système osmotique eau / membrane d'acétate de cellulose / saccharose. Pour cela, un dispositif original de gonflement osmotique de membrane a été conçu et utilisé. Dans les gammes de concentration en saccharose envisagées, il apparaît que la perméabilité de la membrane dépend fortement de son état de déformation, et que cette membrane présente un comportement mécanique essentiellement élasto-plastique, qui a été identifié.

High-speed scaled-down self-aligned SEG SiGe HBTs (2003)

A scaled-down self-aligned selective-epitaxial-growth (SEG) SiGe HBT, structurally optimized for an emitter scaled down toward 100 nm, was developed. This SiGe HBT features a funnel-shaped emitter electrode and a narrow separation between the emitter and base electrodes. The first feature is effective for suppressing the increase of the emitter resistance, while the second one reduces the base resistance of the scaled-down emitter. The good current-voltage performance - a current gain of 500 for the SiGe HBT with an emitter area of 0.11 /spl times/ 0.34 /spl mu/m and V/sub BE/ standard deviation of less than 0.8 mV for emitter width down to about 0.13 /spl mu/m - demonstrates the applicability of this SiGe HBT with a narrow emitter. This SiGe HBT demonstrated high-speed operation: an emitter-coupled logic (ECL) gate delay of 4.8 ps and a maximum operating frequency of 81 GHz for a static frequency divider.
QoE driven SON for mobile backhaul demo (2016)

The complexity of the Mobile Backhaul (MBH) and the unpredictability of the mobile traffic represents a network operation challenge. Increasing the automation of the transport service management by introducing the Self Organizing Networks (SON) concept to MBH can significantly simplify the network configuration process, reduce the cost of operation and maintenance and improve the network efficiency. The live demo running on a real testbed illustrates that SON for MBH is able to autonomously assess the network status, detect anomalies and perform dynamic creation/reconfiguration of the end-to-end services to resolve quality of experience degradations.
Bevacizumab improves tumor infiltration of mature dendritic cells and effector T-cells in triple-negative breast cancer patients (2021)

A single dose of bevacizumab reduced the density of angiopoietin-2-positive vessels while improving the infiltration of CD4+ T and CD8+ T cells, and mature dendritic cells in patients with primary triple-negative breast cancer. Our findings provide a rationale for including bevacizumab during neoadjuvant treatment to enhance the efficacy of immune checkpoint blockers in this disease.
Object-Centric Learning with Slot Attention (2020)

Learning object-centric representations of complex scenes is a promising step towards enabling efficient abstract reasoning from low-level perceptual features. Yet, most deep learning approaches learn distributed representations that do not capture the compositional properties of natural scenes. In this paper, we present the Slot Attention module, an architectural component that interfaces with perceptual representations such as the output of a convolutional neural network and produces a set of task-dependent abstract representations which we call slots. These slots are exchangeable and can bind to any object in the input by specializing through a competitive procedure over multiple rounds of attention. We empirically demonstrate that Slot Attention can extract object-centric representations that enable generalization to unseen compositions when trained on unsupervised object discovery and supervised property prediction tasks.
Focal Cystic High-Attenuation Lesions: Characterization in Renal Phantom by Using Photon-counting Spectral CT—Improved Differentiation of Lesion Composition (2009)

Spectral CT has the potential to enable distinct characterization of hyperattenuating fluids in a renal phantom by helping identify proteinaceous and hemorrhagic lesions through assessment of their distinct levels of attenuation as well as by revealing iodine-containing lesions through analysis of their specific k-edge discontinuities.
Flank Wear of PVD-Coated Cutting Tools during Continuous Turning of Alloy 718 (2016)

In this study, flank wear of physical vapor deposition (PVD) coated cutting tools during continuous turning of alloy 718 were investigated. The similar damages were observed on the rake face and the flank face. Incidentally, wear rate of the coating on the flank face was higher than the one of the rake face. The aim of this study is to clarify the wear mechanism of the coating on the flank face. A typical Ni based superalloy (alloy 718) was machined by using TiN coated and uncoated cutting tools. After the cutting test, the damages on the flank face of the cutting tool were observed through scanning electron microscopy (SEM), electron probe microanalysis (EPMA), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Enrichment of (Nb,Ti)C was observed on the interface between the coating and adhered material. The (Nb,Ti)C layer was made from strengthening phase in alloy 718. Therefore, the (Nb,Ti)C layer adhered on the flank face might cause the strong abrasive wear on the flank face. Thus, the wear modes of the coating on the flank face were composed of abrasive wear, in addition to adhesive wear and fatigue wear. Corrosive wear by oxidation and diffusion between the work and the coating material was not confirmed. It is indicated that the required coating properties for alloy 718 machining were higher softening-resistance and hardness of the coating than (Nb,Ti)C.
Microbial glycosidation of some anthracycline antibiotics by an antibiotic-negative mutant of aclarubicin producer. (1993)

Microbial conversion of anthracyclinone monosaccharides using aclarubicin-negative mutant of Streptomyces galilaeus was found to produce anthracyclinone disaccharides which had either rhodinose or 2-deoxyfucose as an additional sugar. By this conversion we obtained twelve new anthracyclines from seven anthracyclines which had rhodosamine, N-monomethyldaunosamine or daunosamine at C-7 as a glycosidic sugar. All products had a reduced cytotoxic activity in comparison with those of parent compounds. However, some of them showed a therapeutically improved antitumor effects against L1210 leukemia in vivo.
Unified Data/Instruction Cache with Hierarchical Multi-Port Architecture and Hidden Precharge Pipeline (2006)

The presented unified data/instruction cache architecture, based on multiple banks, realizes the features of multiple ports, distributed crossbar, different wordlength for data and instruction ports, interleaved cache-line words and synchronous access with hidden precharge. A 4-port, 20.5 Kbyte test chip in CMOS logic technology with 200 nm minimum gate length and 5 metal layers has a 3.4 ns access-cycle time. The access bandwidth corresponds to 10 ports with standard wordlength, while the cost in increased Si-area is only 25%
A convenient method for the preparation of a highyl active MgCl2‐supported TiCl3 catalyst for the polymerization of propylene (1981)

Abstract A highly dispersed MgCl 2 ‐supported TiCl 3 catalyst was conveniently prepared by treating the complex of TiCl 3 · 3 C 5 H 5 N with AlEt 2 Cl in the presence of MgCl 2 . The catalyst combined with AlEt 3 showed a very high activity for the polymerization of propylene, and gave a polymer with considerably high isotacticity. The catalyst displayed a sharp ESR signal with a g ‐value of 1,94, which is identical with that of the ground H‐grade TiCl 3 .
Familial aggregation of Parkinson disease in Utah (2016)

Significant evidence for excess familial clustering was observed for PD deaths. The excess familial clustering and the significantly elevated RRs for PD among close and distant relatives strongly support a genetic contribution to PD mortality. These results confirm and expand the results of previous studies of PD by quantifying the risk of PD death among more distant relatives.
The influence of diaziquone free radicals on the in vitro activity of diaziquone (1988)

1. The influence of the free radical of diaziquone on inhibition of cell growth in vitro was studied using P388 murine leukaemia cells and a mixture of AZQH2 + AZQ. This mixture generates the AZQ free radical by the disproportionation-comproportionation reaction AZQH2 + AZQ in equilibrium with 2AZQH. 2. Reduced AZQ (AZQH2) was produced electrochemically under anaerobic conditions. This colourless solution was added anaerobically to a solution of AZQ at a 9:1 ratio of AZQH2 to AZQ. The free radical (AZQH) generated was detected by electron spin resonance (ESR) and amounted to about 7% of the concn of AZQH2 + AZQ. The AZQ free radical was stable enough to treat cells in culture. 3. Aerobic suspensions of P388 murine leukaemia cells treated with AZQH experienced a surge of free radicals lasting approx. 30 min at concn near 10 times that of the AZQ free radicals generated by P388 cells. 4. Cell growth inhibition indicates that the concentration of AZQ required to arrest the growth of P388 cells by 50% (IC50) is twice that of the AZQ free radical generating mixture. The mechanism of action of AZQ probably does not exclusively involve AZQ free radicals, but they appear to play an important role.
Improvement of the thermal stability of silver metallization (2003)

The thermal stability of Ag(Al) alloy thin films on SiO2 has been investigated and compared to pure Ag thin films on SiO2 substrates. The prevention of Ag agglomeration on the SiO2 layer is a critical issue to improve the thermal stability of Ag metallization. We deposited Ag(Al) alloy thin films on SiO2 and compared them to pure Ag thin films by performing various analyses: Rutherford backscattering spectrometry, x-ray diffractometry, optical microscope, and four-point probe. Ag(Al) thin films showed good thermal stability on the SiO2 layer without any diffusion barrier and the Ag alloy thin films were stable up to 600 °C for 1 h in vacuum. No agglomeration was found during annealing for 1 h at 600 °C in vacuum. The electrical resistivity of the as-deposited Ag (3.1 at. % Al) thin film is slightly higher than that of pure Ag thin film. However, the resistivity of Ag(Al) samples annealed at high temperatures (up to 600 °C for 1 h in vacuum) remained constant due to no occurrence of agglomeration. It is confirmed in this study that the thermal stability of Ag metallization on SiO2 substrates can be enhanced by using Ag(Al) alloy thin films.
Developing vaccines for an aging population (2015)

The demographics of the world's population are changing, with many adults now surviving into their 80s. With this change comes the need to protect the aging and other underserved populations not only against infectious diseases but also against cancer and other chronic conditions. New technologies derived from recent advances in the fields of immunology, structural biology, synthetic biology, and genomics have brought a revolution in the vaccine field. Among them, vaccine adjuvants have the potential to harness the immune system to provide protection against new types of diseases, improve protection in young children, and expand this protection to adults and the elderly. However, in order to do so we need also to overcome the nontechnical challenges that could limit the implementation of innovative vaccines, including controversies regarding the safety of adjuvants, increasing regulatory complexity, the inadequate methods used to assess the value of novel vaccines, and the resulting industry alienation from future investment. This Perspective summarizes the outcome of a recent multidisciplinary symposium entitled "Enhancing Vaccine Immunity and Value," held in Siena, Italy, in July 2014, that addressed two related questions: how to improve vaccine efficacy by using breakthrough technologies and how to capture the full potential of novel vaccines.
Tunable Interfaces in Fiber Reinforced-Polymer Composites Using Plasma Surface Treatments (2008)

Abstract : Fibers incorporated into polymer matrices suffer from poor adhesion at the fiber-resin interface. In ballistic materials such as body armor, it is imperative that the fiber-resin interface is strengthened for superior energy absorbing capabilities. To address this need, fibers are typically subjected to surface modifications. The overall aim of this work is to establish a methodology of controlling the interfacial adhesion by controlling the degree of chemical bonding between the fiber and the resin. In this study, plasma surface treatments were applied to ultra high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMW-PE) fibers to introduce chemical functionalities to promote covalent bonding. Nitrogen and oxygen plasmas were used and changes imposed by the plasma were characterized using surface analytical techniques. The adhesional strength and energy absorption of the plasma-modified fibers/epoxy interface were assessed using a single-fiber microdroplet shear test. FTIR and XPS reveal the existence of four main chemical groups - hydroxyl, carboxylic, carbonyl and amine groups. Characterization of the interface showed that a six-fold increase of the interfacial shear strength (IFSS) can be attained from plasma treating the fibers.
Identifying Variables Associated With Inaccurate Self-Monitoring of Blood Glucose: Proposed Guidelines to Improve Accuracy (2000)

As a result of the study, guidelines were subsequently developed to evaluate meter accuracy in an outpatient setting. Further effort is needed to establish standards for evaluating SMBG.
Cell‐Cycle Kinetics of Proliferating Mouse B Lymphocytes In Vitro (1995)

Resting mouse B lymphocytes were stimulated in vitro with lipopolysaccharide, Sepharose-coupled anti-kappa antibodies or a combination of the two. B lymphocytes stimulated with anti-kappa entered the cell-cycle with more rapid kinetics and at a higher frequency than did the corresponding cell population stimulated with lipopolysaccharide. Using cell cycle analysis after DNA staining combined with an M phase block, the cell-cycle kinetics of in vitro cultured B-lymphocytes was studied. The labelling index of lipopolysaccharide stimulated B lymphocytes was 60% while that for anti-kappa Sepharose stimulated cells was 85%. The generation time of the actively cycling population from both types of cultures was constant and was of the order of 18 h. Thus, the fraction of B lymphocytes induced to proliferate in vitro varies depending on the stimulus, while the growth kinetics of the actively proliferating populations are remarkably constant.
Cover Picture: Directed 1D Assembly of a Ring‐Shaped Inorganic Nanocluster Templated by an Organic Rigid‐Rod Molecule: An Inorganic/Organic Polypseudorotaxane (Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 11/2008) (2008)

An inorganic/organic polypseudorotaxane …︁ is formed by the template-assisted cofacial assembly of a ring-shaped polyoxomolybdate cluster with a rigid-rod molecule having a high affinity toward the polyoxomolybdate surface, as described by A. Tsuda, T. Aida, and co-workers in their Communication on page 2070 ff. For the construction of this nanoobject, the polyoxomolybdate clusters are threaded along oligomeric p-phenylenebutadiynylene units and are “stitched” together, as shown in the cover picture, to form the 1D structure.
N-acetylcysteine potentiates platelet inhibition by endothelium-derived relaxing factor. (1989)

Recent evidence suggests that endothelium-derived relaxing factor exhibits properties of nitric oxide. Like nitric oxide, it inhibits platelet function and mediates its effects by elevating intracellular cyclic GMP. In this study we have investigated the role of reduced thiol in the mechanism of action of endothelium-derived relaxing factor on platelets. Bovine aortic endothelial cells were grown on microcarrier beads and pretreated with aspirin before use. Endothelial cells stimulated with bradykinin or exposed to stirred medium expressed a dose-dependent inhibition of platelet aggregation that was potentiated by the reduced thiol, N-acetylcysteine. Endothelial cell-mediated platelet inhibition was attenuated by methylene blue. Inhibition of platelet aggregation by endothelial cells was associated with a rise in platelet intracellular cyclic GMP, an effect that was enhanced by N-acetylcysteine. These data show that 1) the reduced thiol N-acetylcysteine potentiates platelet inhibition by endothelium-derived relaxing factor and 2) this effect is associated with increasing intracellular platelet cyclic GMP levels.
