Power Density of the Floating Cup Axial Piston Principle (2004)

The floating cup principle is a new concept for hydrostatic pumps, motors and transformers. It features a large number of pistons, which enables a strong reduction of the pressure pulsations and fluid borne noise. The pistons are arranged in a double ring, back-to-back configuration, and are locked onto the rotor. Each piston has a separate, cuplike cylinder, which is floating on a rotating barrel plate. This article will discuss the consequences of the floating cup design on the power density of pumps and motors. For current axial piston units the trend is towards larger tilt angles of the barrel. In slipper type machines, the tilt angles can be as large as 21°, whereas in bent axis machines the tilt angle can even be increased to 45°. For a 24 piston floating cup machine, the tilt angle of each barrel is however limited to about 12°. The object of the article is to prove that the reduced tilt angle does not need to have a detrimental effect on the power density of the hydrostatic machine. After giving a brief description of the floating cup principle, the article will focus on the design aspects that limit the barrel tilt angle. After this, the main parameters that govern the power density are discussed. A comparison with a slipper type pump is made.

A Modular Wireline Sonic Tool For Measurements Of 3D (Azimuthal, Radial, And Axial Formation Acoustic Properties (2005)

A comprehensive mechanical characterization of the wellbore rock relies on a three-dimensional (3D) characterization of the acoustic slowness in terms of radial, azimuthal, and axial variations. These acoustic rock property variations arise because of non-uniform stress distributions, mechanical or chemical nearwellbore alteration caused by the drilling process, and formation-intrinsic anisotropy. A 3D formation acoustic properties characterization is achieved through comprehensive acquisition of broadband waveforms from all borehole modes (monopole, dipole, and Stoneley) coupled with an integrated inversion of all acquired data. Compressional slowness radial variations are enabled through monopole acquisition with a wide range of transmitterreceiver spacings, from very short to very long, unique to this new technology. Shear slowness radial variations are quantified through inversions of the broadband dispersions of the dipole flexural and Stoneley modes over a wide frequency band featured by this new sonic tool. The unique design of the dipole source enables it to be fired in either pulse mode or chirp mode. Open hole wireline logs from China, Norway, Mexico, Brazil and the United States demonstrate the improved accuracy of both compressional and shear slowness measurements and their radial variations. With the increased number of axial and azimuthal receivers and an acoustically quiet and predictable structure, shear wave anisotropy is estimated more robustly with data showing reliable fast shear azimuth measurements down to 1–2% slowness anisotropy. Shear slownesses from 90 to 900 µs/ft have been measured with this new tool. Improved dispersion curves for both monopole and dipole modes lead to clear identification of formation homogeneity, inhomogeneity, isotropy and mechanisms of anisotropy. Cased hole formation evaluation data demonstrate that shear slowness through casing as high as 450 µs/ft can be measured reliably.
Leukosialin, a major sialoglycoprotein on human leukocytes as differentiation antigens. (1986)

Most blood cells derived from the bone-marrow are known to possess only a limited number of heavily sialylated glycoproteins. We have recently isolated a major sialoglycoprotein on leukocytes and found that this glycoprotein, termed leukosialin, is ubiquitously present on various human leukocytes, granulocytes, monocytes/macrophages and T- and B-lymphocytes. Our studies showed that leukosialin is significantly glycosylated by O-linked oligosaccharides (90 chains/molecule). The structures of those O-linked oligosaccharides are characteristic to each cell lineage and maturation stage. The polypeptide portion of these molecules are, however, apparently the same, with a molecular size of 52 KDa. So it will be interesting to explore the possibility that leukosialin expresses different functions by having different O-glycosylation in a variety of hematopoietic cells.
Neoplastic cells and proliferating endothelial cells express connective tissue growth factor (CTGF) in glioblastoma (2002)

Connective tissue growth factor (CTGF) was recently described as a cysteine-rich mitogenic peptide that is the prototypic member of the CCN family of protein including CTGF/fisp12, cef/10/cyr61 and nov. Recently CTGF was reported to have a function of mediating endothelial cell adhesion and migration through integrin alpha(v)beta3, promoting endothelial cell survival, and inducing angiogenesis in vivo. To clarify involvement of CTGF in tumor angiogenesis, using brain tissues with glioblastoma, we examined CTGF expression and localization by immunohistochemical staining and reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction. The result showed that both glioblastoma tumor cells and proliferating endothelial cells are positive for CTGF by immunohistochemical staining, and CTGF mRNA expression was evaluated by RT-PCR in the brain tissues of glioblastoma. These findings suggest that CTGF may have the potential to stimulate angiogenesis in glioblastoma and function as an angiogenic factor in the process of tumor growth.

Correlationship between proliferating cell nuclear antigen, intercapillary distance and radiosensivity in uterine cervical cancer (2001)

Objective To investigate the correlationship between proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA), intercapillary distance (ICD) and radiosensitivity in uterine cervical cancer. Methods 112 patients who received radiotherapy alone were followed over five years. All PCNA expressions and ICD values were analyzed with immunohistochemistry assay and computer defined capillary images. Results PCNA expression was observed in all patients with the average index of 0.542 ranging from 0.241 to 0.903 um. ICD averaged 180.42 um (ranging from 58.47 to 243.62 um). Conclusions The PCNA expression and ICD value, being closely correlated with radiosensitivity and response to therapy, can be useful as markers for prediction and selection of treatment decision for uterine cervical cancer.

A Model of Color Vision Based on Cortical Reentry (1996)

It is known that the perceived color of an object depends on the context in which it is viewed, its reflectance properties and the spectral distribution of the illuminating light. What is not known, however, is how the visual system functions so that color percepts depend upon the integration of local and contextual cues. While phenomenological theories of color vision exist, robust neurally based theories consistent with psychophysical observations are sparse. In the present study we develop such a theory and establish its self-consistency by computer simulations of cerebral cortical areas involved in color perception. The simulations test the hypothesis that long-range reciprocal connections within and between cortical areas mediate a dynamic process of reentry that integrates contextual cues into the color percept. When stimuli similar to those used in psychophysical testing of contextual influence were used, firing patterns consistent with psychophysical data on color constancy and color induction in humans were observed. Selective disruption of reciprocal inter- or intra-areal connections reduced the correspondence between the model's responses and the psychophysical data. The findings are consistent with the proposal that reentrant interactions within and between cortical areas provide a major basis for the context-sensitive aspects of color vision.
Anti-influenza A activity of combinations of amantadine and ribavirin in ferret tracheal ciliated epithelium (1983)

The anti-influenza A activities of amantadine and ribavirin were investigated separately and in combination. Ferret tracheal ciliated epithelium was continuously exposed to the drugs at concentrations (0.25, 0.5, and 1 mg/l) comparable to those found in human serum after oral administration. Each drug alone produced a modest delay in A/Alaska/6/77 (H3N2) induced cytopathic effect. The combination of drugs synergistically delayed cytopathic effect. At 1 mg/l of each, cytopathic effect was prevented in 75% of rings for the 28-day duration of the experiment. This effect was greater than that of 32 mg/l of amantadine or 64 mg/l of ribavirin as single antiviral drugs. Peak virus production was suppressed 4.4 log-fold by the combination of 1 mg/l of each drug. This is in contrast to amantadine alone which suppressed peak virus production by 1 log-fold and ribavirin along which at 1 mg/l suppressed peak virus production by 1.9 log-fold. At lower concentrations, the drugs were at least additive in suppression of virus production.
An Implementation of Three-Dimensional STEP Data Viewer (1999)

Three dimensional CAD data viewer helps a user to view and use many different types of CAD data without having costly programs that produced them loaded on their computers. A viewer for standard data formats such as STEP and IGES is more useful since most of the CAD systems provide translators for them. We developed a 3D CAD viewer for STEP AP203 solid and assembly data. In addition to the standard shading and assembly tree display, functions for 3D markups and measurement of distance and angles were implemented.

First Characterization of Human Amniotic Fluid Stem Cell Extracellular Vesicles as a Powerful Paracrine Tool Endowed with Regenerative Potential (2017)

Human amniotic fluid stem cells (hAFS) have shown a distinct secretory profile and significant regenerative potential in several preclinical models of disease. Nevertheless, little is known about the detailed characterization of their secretome. Herein we show for the first time that hAFS actively release extracellular vesicles (EV) endowed with significant paracrine potential and regenerative effect. c-KIT<sup>+</sup> hAFS were isolated from leftover samples of amniotic fluid from prenatal screening and stimulated to enhance EV release (24 hours 20% O<sub>2</sub> versus 1% O<sub>2</sub> preconditioning). The capacity of the c-KIT<sup>+</sup> hAFS-derived EV (hAFS-EV) to induce proliferation, survival, immunomodulation, and angiogenesis were investigated in vitro and in vivo. The hAFS-EV regenerative potential was also assessed in a model of skeletal muscle atrophy (HSA-Cre, Smn<sup>F7/F7</sup> mice), in which mouse AFS transplantation was previously shown to enhance muscle strength and survival. hAFS secreted EV ranged from 50 up to 1,000 nm in size. In vitro analysis defined their role as biological mediators of regenerative, paracrine effects while their modulatory role in decreasing skeletal muscle inflammation in vivo was shown for the first time. Hypoxic preconditioning significantly induced the enrichment of exosomes endowed with regenerative microRNAs within the hAFS-EV. In conclusion, this is the first study showing that c-KIT<sup>+</sup> hAFS dynamically release EV endowed with remarkable paracrine potential, thus representing an appealing tool for future regenerative therapy.

Joint-attention Discriminator for Accurate Super-resolution via Adversarial Training (2019)

Tremendous progress has been witnessed on single image super-resolution (SR), where existing deep SR models achieve impressive performance in objective criteria, e.g., PSNR and SSIM. However, most of the SR methods are limited in visual perception, for example, they look too smooth. Generative adversarial network (GAN) favors SR visual effects over most of the deep SR models but is poor in objective criteria. In order to trade off the objective and subjective SR performance, we design a joint-attention discriminator with which GAN improves the SR performance in PSNR and SSIM, as well as maintaining the visual effect compared with non-attention GAN based SR models. The joint-attention discriminator contains dense channel-wise attention and cross-layer attention blocks. The former is applied in the shallow layers of the discriminator for channel-wise weighting combination of feature maps. The latter is employed to select feature maps in some middle and deep layers for effective discrimination. Extensive experiments are conducted on six benchmark datasets and the experimental results show that our proposed discriminator combining with different generators can achieve more realistic visual performances.
Inhibition and Agglutination of Arthrobacters by Pseudomonads (1967)

The bacterial flora of water in Narragansett Bay, R.I., was observed semimonthly from 1962 to 1964. Dominant isolates were keyed to genus, and the isolates for each genus were expressed as percentage of total isolates. There was a consistent inverse relationship between arthrobacters and the dominant pseudomonads. Pseudomonad growth on agar plates markedly inhibited arthrobacter cross-streaks. Agar from inhibition zones as well as supernatant fluids from pseudomonad broth cultures inhibited arthrobacter motility and caused the cells to agglutinate. Gummy pseudomonad residues from vacuum-evaporated broth cultures readily passed a G-25 Sephadex column. This material agglutinated arthrobacter cells, but failed to cause arthrobacter inhibition in filter-pad assays. In contrast, sterile medium inside a dialysis sac, inoculated externally with a pseudomonad, was inhibitory to arthrobacters in pad assay but failed to agglutinate arthrobacter cells. Pseudomonad isolates from soil showed similar inhibiting and agglutinating activities for both soil and seawater arthrobacter isolates. The inhibitory and agglutinating activities of pseudomonad isolates appeared to diminish on prolonged laboratory cultivation.

Therapeutic effects of omoconazole nitrate on experimental tinea pedis, an intractable dermatophytosis, in guinea-pigs (1997)

The therapeutic efficacy of omoconazole nitrate was investigated in an experimental tinea pedis model produced by topical inoculation with Trichophyton mentagrophytes in guinea-pigs, which is pathologically similar to naturally infected tinea pedis in humans. Treatment with omoconazole nitrate cream was started on week 2 postinfection and continued for 3 or 4 weeks. Once-a-day application of 1% omoconazole nitrate to the site of infection exhibited an excellent therapeutic efficacy, and was superior to 1% bifonazole cream in culture result. This result suggests that omoconazole nitrate has a potential usefulness for the treatment of tinea pedis in humans.
Residual Stress Alterations via Cold Rolling and Stretching of an Aluminum Alloy (1988)

A solution heart-treated, cold-water quenched experimental aluminum alloy was subjected to two sequential mechanical treatments: an 11.5% reduction by cold rolling followed by a 1.25% cold stretching. The layer-removal and hole-drilling strain-gage methods of residual stress analysis were used, independently, to quantify both the changes in residual stresses produced by cold rolling and the reduction of stress produced by cold stretching. The initial residual stress condition, surface compression with mid-plane tension, was reversed by the cold rolling mechanical treatment to a condition of tensile surface stresses with mid-plane compression. Cold stretching produced a marked reduction in the magnitudes of the cold-rolling-induced residual stress. The independent experimental results of the layer-removal and hole-drilling strain-gage methods corroborated the effectiveness of stretching as a method for reducing residual stresses.
Nutrition and Wound Healing (2006)

Using triaxial magnetic fields to create high susceptibility particle composites (2004)

We report on the use of triaxial magnetic fields to create a variety of isotropic and anisotropic magnetic particle/polymer composites with significantly enhanced magnetic susceptibilities. A triaxial field is a superposition of three orthogonal ac magnetic fields, each generated by a Helmholtz coil in series resonance with a tunable capacitor bank. Field frequencies are in the range of 150-400 Hz. Because both the field amplitudes and frequencies can be varied, a rich variety of structures can be created. Perhaps the most unusual effects occur when either two or three of the field components are heterodyned to give beat frequencies on the order of 1 Hz. This leads to a striking particle dynamics that evolves into surprising structures during resin gelation. These structures are found to have perhaps the highest susceptibility that a particle composite can have. The susceptibility anisotropy of these composites can be controlled over a wide range by judicious adjustment of the relative field amplitudes. These experimental data are supported by large-scale Brownian dynamics simulations of the complex many-body interactions that occur in triaxial magnetic fields. These simulations show that athermal three-dimensional field heterodyning leads to structures with a susceptibility that is as high as that achieved with thermal annealing. Thus with coherent particle motions we can achieve magnetostatic energies that are quite close to the ground state.
Botrytis and Botrytis-like genera. (1973)

Critical revision of Botrytis-like genera leads to recognition of Botrytis, Chromelosporium, Glischroderma and Ostracoderma. Phymatotrichum is synonymized with Botrytis, and previously assigned species are reconsidered. Six new genera are recognized: Pulchromyces (for Phymatotrichum fimicola Dring); Phymatotrichopsis (for Phymatotrichum omnivorum Duggar); Streptobotrys, Amphobotrys, and Verrucobotrys (for conidial states of the Sclerotiniaceae); Dichobotrys (for the conidial state of Operculate Discomycetes of the genus Trichophaea).\nHyphelia terrestris Fr. and related species, including conidial states of some Operculate Discomycetes of the genus Peziza, are placed in Chromelosporium. Peridiate fungi with a similar conidial apparatus, described in Lycoperdellon, are transferred to Ostracoderma, while Glischroderma is kept distinct.\nThirteen new species are proposed, and 16 new combinations are made for the species discussed.

Addressing Health and Health-Care Disparities: The Role of a Diverse Workforce and the Social Determinants of Health (2014)

Despite major advances in medicine and public health during the past few decades, disparities in health and health care persist. Racial/ethnic minority groups in the United States are at disproportionate risk of being uninsured, lacking access to care, and experiencing worse health outcomes from preventable and treatable conditions. As reducing these disparities has become a national priority, insight into the social determinants of health has become increasingly important. This article offers a rationale for increasing the diversity and cultural competency of the health and health-care workforce, and describes key strategies led by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services' Office of Minority Health to promote cultural competency in the health-care system and strengthen community-level approaches to improving health and health care for all.
