FACTORS AFFECTING THE ABSORPTION RATE OF ALCOHOL INTO THE BLOOD. A PILOT STUDY (1981)

The object of this study was to examine some of the widely held beliefs as to the effect of various factors on the absorption of alcohol into the blood. In a series of six experiments, twelve subjects were given measured amounts of alcohol, each subject ingesting the same quantity in each experiment, but with other conditions varied. The blood alcohol concentrations were determined by breath analysis with occasional concomitant analyses of freshly secreted urine. The factors examined were: (I) Effect of a fatty meal before drinking. (II) Effect of a non-fatty meal before drinking. (III) Effect of varying the concentration of the beverage. (IV) Effect of exercise immediately after drinking. It was found that the ingestion of food before drinking caused a consistent lowering of the peak blood alcohol concentration, which was very pronounced in the case of fatty food. Varying the concentration of the beverage produced no consistent pattern of variation in the peak blood alcohol concentration. Exercise immediately after drinking resulted in a slowing of the absorption rate, a lower peak concentration, and an apparent slowing of the elimination rate. Full analysis of the raw data is not complete, but will be discussed in detail in the final paper. (Author/TRRL)
Absence of Recoverable Infectious Virus and Unique Immune Responses in an Asymptomatic HIV <sup>+</sup> Long-Term Survivor (1994)

We have studied a woman with transfusion-acquired HIV who appears to have contained infectious virus to consistently undetectable levels over a 13-year period without antiviral treatment. She received the infected transfusion for intra- and postpartum blood loss immediately after delivery of her second child in 1981. She had no acute febrile syndrome and has never had HIV-associated clinical signs or symptoms in the 13 years since infection. She was first tested and found positive for HIV antibodies in 1985, and the infected blood donor was diagnosed with AIDS in 1986 and died of AIDS-related complications in 1989. Two other recipients of packed erythrocytes from this donor (in 1980 and 1982) also became infected and were subsequently diagnosed with AIDS. Between January 1986 and April 1994, in the setting of continuous and unambiguous Western blot HIV-specific antibodies and intermittently positive low-level HIV DNA signal after polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification, more than 30 separate cell cocultures performed in several independent laboratories failed to yield evidence of infectious virus, despite special efforts to induce and detect HIV replication. Immunologically, a strong in vitro proliferative response to HIV envelope proteins also distinguished this subject from other asymptomatic HIV+ individuals.
3-D Quantitative Vascular Shape Analysis for Arterial Bifurcations via Dynamic Tube Fitting (2011)

Reliable and reproducible estimation of vessel centerlines and reference surfaces is an important step for the assessment of luminal lesions. Conventional methods are commonly developed for quantitative analysis of the "straight" vessel segments and have limitations in defining the precise location of the centerline and the reference lumen surface for both the main vessel and the side branches in the vicinity of bifurcations. To address this, we propose the estimation of the centerline and the reference surface through the registration of an elliptical cross-sectional tube to the desired constituent vessel in each major bifurcation of the arterial tree. The proposed method works directly on the mesh domain, thus alleviating the need for image upsampling, usually required in conventional volume domain approaches. We demonstrate the efficiency and accuracy of the method on both synthetic images and coronary CT angiograms. Experimental results show that the new method is capable of estimating vessel centerlines and reference surfaces with a high degree of agreement to those obtained through manual delineation. The centerline errors are reduced by an average of 62.3% in the regions of the bifurcations, when compared to the results of the initial solution obtained through the use of mesh contraction method.

Adjunctive therapy patterns in glaucoma patients using prostaglandin analogs (2014)

Approximately 30% of patients starting glaucoma therapy will require adjunctive therapy within 1 year, and many receive a fixed-combination product as initial adjunctive therapy shortly after starting glaucoma therapy. This suggests a prescribing trend toward earlier, more aggressive drug therapy to control pressure and minimize disease progression. We found that compliance with adjunctive therapy continues to be a problem for patients, which could be attributed to a number of treatment burden and economic factors.
Charge-trapping properties of ultrathin nitrided oxides prepared by rapid thermal annealing (1988)

Ultrathin (8 nm) oxides were nitrided by lamp-heated rapid thermal annealing in ammonia at 900-1150 degrees C for 5-300 s. Measurements indicate that both the nitrogen concentration near the Si-SiO/sub 2/ interface (N)/sub int/ and the hydrogen concentration in nitrided oxides (H) increase monotonically as nitridation proceeds. The flat-band voltage shift Delta V/sub VB/ and the increase of the midgap interface state density Delta D induced by the constant-current stress were investigated. While Delta V/sub FB/ increases monotonically as nitridation proceeds, Delta D is found for the first time to show a turnaround with nitridation time: it increases, reaches a maximum at a certain nitridation time, and then decreases gradually to a value that is lower, in some cases, by more than one order of magnitude than that of a thermal oxide. It is found for the first time that Delta V/sub FB/ increases in proportion to (H). Based on the turnaround behavior of Delta D, a two-factor model is proposed in which one factor, (H), increases delta D and the other one, (N)/sub int/, reduces it.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>
Investigating dendrites and side reactions in sodium–oxygen batteries for improved cycle lives (2015)

The development of sodium-oxygen batteries with high round-trip efficiencies is hindered by the short cycle lives. Sodium dendrite formation and oxygen crossover are identified as two major issues. By employing an ion selective membrane, the cycle life of sodium-oxygen batteries has been greatly improved.
A Novel Solid-Phase Assembly for Identifying Potent and Selective RNA Ligands (2000)

A simple, rapid, and quantitative assay that facilitates the discovery and characterization of new RNA binders has been developed. The assembly consists of an ternary complex, in which a fluorescent Rev peptide (Rev is an essential HIV-1 regulatory protein) binds to its high affinity site on the RRE (Rev-response element), and this biotinylated RNA, in turn, is immobilized on a solid support through streptavidin.
Identification and annotation of bovine granzyme genes reveals a novel granzyme encoded within the trypsin-like locus (2018)

Granzymes are a family of serine proteases found in the lytic granules of cytotoxic T lymphocytes and natural killer (NK) cells, which are involved in killing of susceptible target cells. Most information on granzymes and their enzymatic specificities derive from studies in humans and mice. Although granzymes shared by both species show a high level of conservation, the complement of granzyme genes differs between the species. The aim of this study was to identify granzyme genes expressed in cattle, determine their genomic locations and analyse their sequences to predict likely functional specificities. Orthologues of the five granzyme genes found in humans (A, B, H, K and M) were identified, as well a novel gene designated granzyme O, most closely related to granzyme A. An orthologue of granzyme O was found in pigs and a non-function version was detected in the human genome. Use of specific PCRs demonstrated that all of these genes, including granzyme O, are expressed in activated subsets of bovine lymphocytes, with particularly high levels in CD8 T cells. Consistent with findings in humans and mice, the granzyme-encoding genes were located on three distinct genomic loci, which correspond to different proteolytic enzymatic activities, namely trypsin-like, chymotrypsin-like and metase-like. Analysis of amino acid sequences indicated that the granzyme proteins have broadly similar enzymatic specificities to their human and murine counterparts but indicated that granzyme B has a different secondary specificity. These findings provide the basis for further work to examine their role in the cytotoxic activity of bovine CD8 T cells.

(2) Transformation and stability phenomena of the corrosion products. (3) Effects in commercial piping at low flow rates. (4) Effects of water treatment chemicals.
Short Gold Nanorod Growth Revisited: The Critical Role of the Bromide Counterion (2011)

A one-step, surfactant-assisted, seed-mediated method has been utilized for the growth of short gold nanorods with reasonable yield by modifying an established synthesis protocol. Among the various parameters that influence nanorod growth, the impact of the bromide counterion has been closely scrutinized. During this study it has been shown that, irrespective of its origin, the bromide counterion [cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) or NaBr] plays a crucial role in the formation of nanorods in the sense that there is a critical [Br(-)]/[Au(3+)] ratio (around 200) to achieve nanorods with a maximum aspect ratio. Beyond this value, bromide can be considered as a poisoning agent unless shorter nanorods are required. The use of AgNO(3) helps in symmetry breaking for gold nanorod growth, whereas the bromide counterion controls the growth kinetics by selective adsorption on the facets of the growth direction. Thus, a proper balance between bromide ions and gold cations is also one of the necessary parameters for controlling the size of the gold nanorods; this has been discussed thoroughly. The results have been discussed based on their absorption spectra and finally shape evolution has been confirmed by TEM. Due to their efficient absorption in the near-IR region, these short nanorods were used in photothermal imaging of living COS-7 cells with improved signal-to-background ratios.
Highly Efficient White Light-Emitting Diodes Based On Layered Quantum Dot-Phosphor Nanocomposites As Converting Materials (2012)

This paper reports on the enhanced photoluminescence (PL) of nanocomposites through the layered structuring of phosphor and quantum dot (QD). Green phosphor of Sr2SiO4:Eu, red QDs of CdSe/CdS/CdZnS/ZnS core-multishell, and thermo-curable resin were used for this study. Two kinds of composite (layered and mixed) were prepared, and the schemes for optical energy transfer between QD and phosphor were suggested and investigated based on PL decay characteristics. It was found that the layered structure is more effective than the mixed one in the respects of PL intensity, PL decay and thermal loss. When this layered nanocomposite (QDs on phosphor) is used to make white light emitting diode (LED), the brightness is increased by 37 %, and the color rendering index (CRI) value is raised to 88.4 compared to the mixed case of 80.4.

Multichannel image identification and restoration using continuous spatial domain modeling (2002)

In this paper, a novel identification technique for multichannel image processing is presented. Using the maximum likelihood estimation (ML) approach, the image is represented as an autoregressive (AR) model and blur is described as a continuous spatial domain model. Such a formulation overcomes some major limitations encountered in other ML methods. Moreover, cross-spectral and spatial components are incorporated in the multichannel modeling. It is shown that by incorporating those components, the overall performance is improved significantly. Also, experimental results show that blur extent can be optimally identified from noisy color images that are degraded by uniform linear motion or out-of-focus blurs.
Tracking <i>N</i>‐Acetyllactosamine on Cell‐Surface Glycans In Vivo (2011)

Viele Säugetier-Glycane, die mit Signalrezeptoren assoziiert sind, enthalten N-Acetyllactosamin an der letzten oder vorletzten Position. Eine hochspezifische Methode zur Markierung dieses Disaccharids auf Zelloberflächen-Glycoproteinen lebender, kultivierter Zellen und Zebrafischembryos nutzt einen zweistufigen chemoenzymatischen Ansatz aus In-situ-Fucosylierung und bioorthogonaler Klickreaktion (siehe Schema; α(1,3)FucT=α(1,3)-Fucosyltransferase).
Crystal Structure of Formate Dehydrogenase H: Catalysis Involving Mo, Molybdopterin, Selenocysteine, and an Fe <sub>4</sub> S <sub>4</sub> Cluster (1997)

Formate dehydrogenase H from Escherichia coli contains selenocysteine (SeCys), molybdenum, two molybdopterin guanine dinucleotide (MGD) cofactors, and an Fe4S4 cluster at the active site and catalyzes the two-electron oxidation of formate to carbon dioxide. The crystal structures of the oxidized [Mo(VI), Fe4S4(ox)] form of formate dehydrogenase H (with and without bound inhibitor) and the reduced [Mo(IV), Fe4S4(red)] form have been determined, revealing a four-domain alphabeta structure with the molybdenum directly coordinated to selenium and both MGD cofactors. These structures suggest a reaction mechanism that directly involves SeCys140 and His141 in proton abstraction and the molybdenum, molybdopterin, Lys44, and the Fe4S4 cluster in electron transfer.
Properties of Si diodes prepared by alloying Al into n-type Si with heat pulses from a Nd:YAG laser (1969)

Abstract p − n junctions have been prepared by locally alloying a vacuum-evaporated Al film into n -type Si with a focused heat pulse derived form a Nd:YAG laser. The preparation and the gross features of such junctions are described and electrical measurements of the forward bias and reverse bias current, reverse bias capacitance and transient response are given for room temperature. The forward and reverse bias current measurement show that charge recombination and generation within the depletion region controls the flow of current as would be expected for a Si junction. The reverse bias capacitance shows that the change in the doping profile in these junctions is abrupt. From the transient response the reverse recovery time is typically 0.5 × 10 −9 sec.

Pyrrolide-Supported Lanthanide Alkyl Complexes. Influence of Ligands on Molecular Structure and Catalytic Activity toward Isoprene Polymerization (2007)

The N,N-bidentate ligands 2-{(N-2,6-R)iminomethyl)}pyrrole (HL1, R = dimethylphenyl; HL2, R = diisopropylphenyl) have been prepared. HL1 reacted readily with 1 equiv of lanthanide tris(alkyl)s, Ln(CH2SiMe3)3(THF)2, affording lanthanide bis(alkyl) complexes L1Ln(CH2SiMe3)2(THF)n (1a, Ln = Lu, n = 2; 1b, Ln = Sc, n = 1) via alkane elimination. Reaction of the bulky ligand HL2 with 1 equiv of Ln(CH2SiMe3)3(THF)2 gave the bis(pyrrolylaldiminato) lanthanide mono(alkyl) complexes L22Ln(CH2SiMe3)(THF) (2a, Ln = Lu; 2b, Ln = Sc), selectively. The N,N-bidentate ligand HL3, 2-dimethylaminomethylpyrrole, reacted with Ln(CH2SiMe3)3(THF)2, generating bimetallic bis(alkyl) complexes of central symmetry (3a, Ln = Y; 3b, Ln = Lu; 3c, Ln = Sc). Treatment of the N,N,N,N-tetradentate ligand H2L4, 2,2‘-bis(2,2-dimethylpropyldiimino)methylpyrrole, with equimolar Lu(CH2SiMe3)3(THF)2 afforded a C2-symmetric binuclear complex (4). Complexes 3a, 3b, 3c, and 4 represent rare examples of THF-free binuclear lanthanide bis(alkyl) complexes supported by non-cyclopentadienyl ligands. All complexes have been tested as initiators for the polymerization of isoprene in the presence of AlEt3 and [Ph3C][B(C6F5)4]. Complexes 1a, 1b, and 3a show activity, and 1b is the most active initiator, whereas 2a, 2b, 3b, 3c, and 4 are inert. The microstructure of the resultant polyisoprene has a cis-1,4 or trans-1,4 configuration depending on the initiator applied.
Tribological study of high bearing blended polymer-based coatings for air-conditioning and refrigeration compressors (2010)

Deposition by spray techniques has made possible to coat different substrate materials found in engineering applications, such as air-conditioning and refrigeration compressors, with blended soft polymeric coatings based on polyetheretherketone (PEEK), polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), and fluorocarbons (FC). In this study, the tribological performance of four polymeric coatings (PEEK/PTFE, PTFE/MoS2, FC, and PEEK/Ceramic against 52100 steel) was evaluated using a specialized tribometer simulating aggressive compressor conditions. Experimental results showed that PTFE/MoS2, and PEEK/PTFE coating systems performed better in terms of their tribological performance compared to the other polymeric coatings under starved lubricated conditions (mixture of R-134a refrigerant and polyalkylene glycol lubricant). Under aggressive unlubricated conditions, scuffing was observed for all the coatings except PEEK/PTFE. By using time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry (TOF-SIMS) and X-ray diffraction (XRD), it was found that the good performance of PEEK/PTFE was related to the formation of chemical species from the fragmentation of PTFE, PEEK, and its favorable interaction with the substrate, along with an increase in crystallization of PEEK during testing.
Absolute Stereochemistry of Puupehenone and Related Metabolites (1996)

Degradative studies have permitted an absolute stereochemistry to be assigned to the marine natural product puupehenone (1). On biosynthetic grounds 10 related co-metabolites were assigned to the same antipodal series.
