Twitter and status updating (2009)

In the past three years, developments in social networking and internet applications have begun providing internet users with more opportunities for sharing short updates about themselves, their lives, and their whereabouts online. Users may post messages about their status, their moods, their location and other tidbits on social networks and blogging sites, or on applications for sending out short messages to networks of friends like Twitter, Yammer and others. As of December 2008, 11% of online American adults said they used a service like Twitter or another service that allowed them to share updates about themselves or to see the updates of others. Twitter and similar services have been most avidly embraced by young adults. Nearly one in five (19%) online adults ages 18 and 24 have ever used Twitter and its ilk, as have 20% of online adults 25 to 34. Use of these services drops off steadily after age 35 with 10% of 35 to 44 year olds and 5% of 45 to 54 year olds using Twitter. The decline is even more stark among older internet users; 4% of 55-64 year olds and 2% of those 65 and older use Twitter. The use of Twitter is highly intertwined with the use of other social media; both blogging and social network use increase the likelihood than an individual also uses Twitter. Twitter users and status updaters are also a mobile bunch; as a group they are much more likely to be using wireless technologies ? laptops, handhelds and cell phones ? for internet access, or cell phones for text messaging. Overall, Twitter users engage with news and own technology at the same rates as other internet users, but the ways in which they use the technology -- to communicate, gather and share information -- reveals their affinity for mobile, untethered and social opportunities for interaction. Moreover, Twitter as an application allows for and enhances these opportunities, so it is not so surprising that users would engage in these kinds of activities and also be drawn to an online application that expands those opportunities.
Surface Scattering via Bulk Continuum States in the 3D Topological Insulator<mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><mml:msub><mml:mi>Bi</mml:mi><mml:mn>2</mml:mn></mml:msub><mml:msub><mml:mi>Se</mml:mi><mml:mn>3</mml:mn></mml:msub></mml:math> (2011)

We have performed scanning tunneling microscopy and differential tunneling conductance (dI/dV) mapping for the surface of the three-dimensional topological insulator Bi(2)Se(3). The fast Fourier transformation applied to the dI/dV image shows an electron interference pattern near Dirac node despite the general belief that the backscattering is well suppressed in the bulk energy gap region. The comparison of the present experimental result with theoretical surface and bulk band structures shows that the electron interference occurs through the scattering between the surface states near the Dirac node and the bulk continuum states.

Measuring the Elastic Properties of Living Cells with Atomic Force Microscopy Indentation (2012)

Atomic force microscopy (AFM) is a powerful and versatile tool for probing the mechanical properties of biological samples. This chapter describes the procedures for using AFM indentation to measure the elastic moduli of living cells. We include step-by-step instructions for cantilever calibration and data acquisition using a combined AFM/optical microscope system, as well as a detailed protocol for data analysis. Our protocol is written specifically for the BioScope™ Catalyst™ AFM system (Bruker AXS Inc.); however, most of the general concepts can be readily translated to other commercial systems.
Lipopolysaccharide‐dependent down‐regulation of CD27 expression on T cells activated with superantigen (1999)

To investigate the mechanisms underlying T-cell responses during superantigen (SAg) stimulation, we analysed the effects of SAg on CD27 expression with or without lipopolysaccharide (LPS) as a novel regulator of T-cell function. CD27 is expressed on the majority of resting peripheral blood T cells (CD27low). Activation of T cells by SAg induces high levels of CD27 surface expression (CD27high) accompanied with simultaneous CD30 receptor expression. After prolonged activation in vitro, the level of CD27 expression became intermediate. The effects of LPS on down-regulation of CD27high expression on CD30+ T cells were dose-dependent. Separating LPS-stimulated monocytes from T cells by mechanical dispersion abolished its inhibitory effect, indicating the requirement for direct interactions between monocytes and T cells. We also found that SAg up-regulated CD80 expression on CD14+ monocytes and LPS inhibited SAg-induced CD80 expression after 24 hr of stimulation. Up-regulation of CD152 (CTLA-4) was selective, since it was found to be preferentially expressed on the CD30+ population. Competitive experiments using soluble blocking peptides showed that addition of CD28 or CD80 peptide recovered LPS-induced down-regulation of CD27high expression on CD30+ T cells. These observations suggested that the presence of low levels of CD80 on monocytes may partially inhibit CD27 expression due to inefficient delivery of positive signals via CD28/CD80 interaction, and that the increased levels of CD80 enhance the inhibition through interactions with CD152 which is expressed at the highest levels after 48 hr of activation.
<b>Klaus Maiwald</b>, Literatur lesen lernen. Begründung und Dokumentation eines literaturdidaktischen Experiments. 2001 (2002)

Die Zeiten sind bekanntlich vorbei, in denen Kinder und Jugendliche im Schein der Taschenlampe unter der Bettdecke Abenteuerromane verschlangen, um dann als solcherart geübte und Büchern gegenüber aufgeschlossene Leserinnen und Leser die Voraussetzungen für eine in der Schule angeregte und angeleitete komplexere Lektüre mitzubringen. Wer heute Literaturunterricht planen und durchführen muß, steht vor zwei Problemen, die so schwierig wie noch nie zuvor zu lösen sind: Wie wecke ich überhaupt Bereitschaft zur Lektüre anspruchsvoller Texte, möglichst in Form eines solchen Motivationsschubs, daß dauerhaftes außerschulisches Lesen angeregt wird? Und: Wie entwickle ich die Fähigkeit zum angemessenen Umgang mit ‚schwierigen‘ Texten? Gemeint ist eine Verstehens- und Äußerungskompetenz, die auch vor dem Hintergrund moderner literaturtheoretischer Erkenntnisse vertretbar sein soll.
The WiMap (2011)

As positioning technology is an important foundation of the Internet of Things, a dynamic indoor WLAN localization system is proposed in this paper. This paper mainly concentrates on the design and implementation of the WiMap-a dynamic indoor WLAN localization system, which employs grid-based localization method using RSS (received signal strength). To achieve high localization accuracy and low computational complexity, Gaussian mixture model is applied to approximate the signal distribution and a ROI (region of interest) is defined to limit the search region. The authors also discuss other techniques like AP selection and threshold control, which affects the localization accuracy. The experimental results indicate that an accuracy of 3m with 73.8% probability can be obtained in WiMap. Moreover, the running time is reduced greatly with limited ROI method.
Properties of Poly electrolyte Complexes Consisting of [2-(Diethylamino)ethyl]dextran Hydrochloride, Carboxymethyldextran, and Sodium Dextran Sulfate for Clot Formation <i>in Vitro</i> (1981)

Abstract A polyelectrolyte complex (PEC) prepared at higher hydrogen ion concentration enhanced the coagulation of blood, whereas PEC prepared at lower hydrogen ion concentration prevented coagulation of blood. This difference sholud be attributed to the difference in the molecular structures of the PEC prepared.
A high frequency AC/DC converter with unity power factor and minimum harmonic distortion (1987)

A new forced commutated ac/dc converter and control strategy is proposed that is able to draw nearly sinusoidal currents at unity power factor from three-phase power lines. The power factor is controlled by adjusting the relative position of the fundamental component of an optimized PWM type voltage with respect to the supply voltage. Current harmonic distortion is minimized by the use of optimized firing angles for the converter at a frequency where GTO's can be used. This feature makes this approach very attractive at power levels of 100 kW to 600 kW. An 8096 microcontroller is used to minimize the interface hardware requirements. This paper presents the theoretical analysis of the converter, the control strategy and experimental results for a low power prototype.
Development of a high level of resistance to Bacillus sphaericus in a field population of Culex quinquefasciatus from Kochi, India. (1995)

Field resistance to Bacillus sphaericus was observed in a population of Culex quinquefasciatus in Kochi, India, exposed to 35 rounds of spraying with a formulation of B. sphaericus 1593 M over a 2-year period. Larvae from the sprayed area gave LC50 and LC90 values that were 146 and 180 times greater than corresponding values for a susceptible strain from an unsprayed locality. When the resistant strain was colonized in the laboratory and subjected to moderate selection pressure at each generation, resistance rapidly increased and by the 18th generation it was 6,223 and 31,325 times greater at the LC50 and LC90 levels in comparison with the susceptible strain. There were no significant differences among 6 susceptible strains tested. Tests were repeated and validated using the standard primary powder SPH88, B. sphaericus 2362. No cross resistance was observed against B. thuringiensis H-14.
Medication administration through enteral feeding tubes (2008)

Successful drug delivery through enteral feeding tubes requires consideration of the tube size and placement as well as careful selection and appropriate administration of drug dosage forms.
Variational Prototyping-Encoder: One-Shot Learning with Prototypical Images (2019)

In daily life, graphic symbols, such as traffic signs and brand logos, are ubiquitously utilized around us due to its intuitive expression beyond language boundary. We tackle an open-set graphic symbol recognition problem by one-shot classification with prototypical images as a single training example for each novel class. We take an approach to learn a generalizable embedding space for novel tasks. We propose a new approach called variational prototyping-encoder (VPE) that learns the image translation task from real-world input images to their corresponding prototypical images as a meta-task. As a result, VPE learns image similarity as well as prototypical concepts which differs from widely used metric learning based approaches. Our experiments with diverse datasets demonstrate that the proposed VPE performs favorably against competing metric learning based one-shot methods. Also, our qualitative analyses show that our meta-task induces an effective embedding space suitable for unseen data representation.
rf spectroscopy in an atomic fountain (1989)

Laser-cooled sodium atoms pushed up on a vertical trajectory by radiation pressure are observed to turn around due to gravity. The reatively long time the atoms spent freely falling in this ``atomic fountain'' allowed the ground-state hyperfine splitting to be measured with a linewidth of 2 Hz. After a 1000-s integration time, the center of the line was resolved to \ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}10 mHz. The absolute splitting was measured to be 1 771 626 129(2) Hz.
Advanced Doped UO2 Pellets in LWR Applications (2006)

The nuclear industry strives to reduce the fuel cycle cost, enhance flexibility and improve the reliability of operation. This can be done by both increasing the fuel weight and optimizing rod internal properties that affect operational margins. Further, there is focus on reducing the consequences of fuel failures. To meet these demands Westinghouse has developed ADOPT (Advanced Doped Pellet Technology) UO2 fuel containing additions of chromium and aluminium oxides. This paper presents results from the extensive investigation program which covered examinations of doped and reference standard pellets both in the manufactured and irradiated states. The additives facilitate pellet densification during sintering and enlarge the pellet grain size. The final manufactured doped pellets reach about 0.5% higher density within a shorter sintering time and a five fold larger grain size compared with standard UO2 fuel pellets. The physical properties of the pellets, including heat capacity, thermal expansion coefficient, melting temperature, thermal diffusivity, have been investigated and differences between the doped and standard UO2 pellets are small. The in-reactor performance of the ADOPT pellets has been investigated in pool-side and hotcell Post Irradiation Examinations (PIEs), as well as in the Studsvik R2 test reactor. The investigations have identified three areas of improved operational behaviour: Reduced fission gas release, improved PCI performance thanks to increased pellet plasticity and higher resistance against post-failure degradation. Fuel segments have been exposed to ramp tests and enhanced power steady-state operation in the Studsvik R2 reactor after base-irradiation to above 30 MWd/kgU in a commercial BWR. ADOPT reveals up to 50% lower fission gas release than standard UO2 pellets. The fuel degradation behaviour has been studied in two oxidizing tests, a thermal-microbalance test and an erosion test under irradiation. The tests show that ADOPT pellets have a reduced rate of fuel washout, as compared to standard UO2 pellets. Fuel rods with ADOPT pellets have been irradiated in several light water reactors (LWRs) since 1999, including two full SVEA-96 Optima2 reloads in 2005.
Phase II study of low-dose outpatient chemobiotherapy with temozolomide (TMZ), granulocyte macrophage colony stimulating factor (GM-CSF), Interferon-alpha-2b (IFN), and Interleukin-2 (IL-2) for the treatment of metastatic melanoma (2005)

7546 Background: Metastatic melanoma responds poorly to currently available therapies, many of which require hospitalization. de Gast reported that chemobiotherapy with TMZ, GM-CSF, IL-2, and IFN in patients with melanoma has efficacy with toxicity that is manageable on an outpatient basis (de Gast et al Br J CA 88:175–80, 2003). Methods: A multi-centre open-label, Phase II trial of chemobiotherapy in patients with metastatic melanoma has been completed. The treatment regimen consisted of a 28-day cycle in which patients received oral TMZ, 150 or 200 mg/m2 on days 1 - 5, followed by daily outpatient biotherapy on days 6 - 17 with GM-CSF, 125 μg/m2 subcutaneously (SQ), IFN, 5 million units (MU) SQ and IL-2, 4 million international units/ m2 (MIU) SQ. After completion of the biotherapy cycle, patients had an 11-day rest period. The 28-day cycle was repeated as tolerated and clinically indicated. Dose adjustments were made for toxicity depending on the suspected drug interaction. Results: Thirty-one patients (23M, 8F, median age 58) were enrolled in the trial. Of these, 28 (90%) had M1c disease and over half (58%) had 3 or more sites of metastasis. Responses include 4 CR (13%), 4 PR (13%), 7 SD/MR (23%), and 16 PD (52%). The overall objective response rate was 26% (95% confidence interval 12% to 45%); all but 1 of the responding patients had M1c disease. The median progression-free survival was 4.9 months and the median overall survival was 13.1 months. The overall survival rate was 52% at 12 months and 25% at 24 months. Five patients (16%) remain alive; 2 patients have no evidence of disease at 34.7 and 25.8 months and 3 patients are alive with disease at 35.3, 28.2, and 23 months. A total of 112 28-day cycles of therapy were administered. Toxicity occurred in 78% of the cycles but was Grade 1 or 2 in the majority of cases and easily managed. Grade 4 toxicity occurred in 3% of the cycles (thrombocytopenia in 2% and psychosis in 1%). Conclusion: This low-dose chemobiotherapy combination has activity in patients with metastatic melanoma, even in those with M1c disease, is well tolerated, and allows home dosing.

Scan path in CMOS semicustom LSI chips (1984)

The paper presents a scan path design concept evolved to improve the testability of CMOS semicustom LSI chips. Minimizing routing and chip area, avoiding burdens on the layout program, and facilitating automatic test pattern generation are the main goals, achieved by taking into account CMOS semicustom design-specific conditions.
Selenium Sulfide Intoxication (1961)

FOR many years it has been known that "alkali disease" of cattle is due to the ingestion of grains and grasses growing in soil containing selenium. More recently selenium has been an industrial hazard due to the ingestion or inhalation of selenium compounds. The introduction of selenium sulfide as a treatment for seborrheic dermatitis of the scalp was therefore attended by considerable apprehension. However, in spite of repeated warnings of potential toxicity, the medical literature, past and present, attests to its extremely poor absorption through intact skin, when it is used properly as a shampoo, and thus to its relative . . .
Parameterised Multiparty Session Types (2012)

For many application-level distributed protocols and parallel algorithms, the set of participants, the number of messages or the interaction structure are only known at run-time. This paper proposes a dependent type theory for multiparty sessions which can statically guarantee type-safe, deadlock-free multiparty interactions among processes whose specifications are parameterised by indices. We use the primitive recursion operator from G\"odel's System T to express a wide range of communication patterns while keeping type checking decidable. To type individual distributed processes, a parameterised global type is projected onto a generic generator which represents a class of all possible end-point types. We prove the termination of the type-checking algorithm in the full system with both multiparty session types and recursive types. We illustrate our type theory through non-trivial programming and verification examples taken from parallel algorithms and Web services usecases.
k‐Space deep learning for reference‐free EPI ghost correction (2019)

The proposed k-space deep learning for EPI ghost correction is highly robust and fast, and can be combined with acceleration, so that it can be used as a promising correction tool for high-field MRI without changing the current acquisition protocol.
Topological phonon modes in filamentary structures (2011)

This work describes a class of topological phonon modes, that is, mechanical vibrations localized at the edges of special structures that are robust against the deformations of the structures. A class of topological phonons was recently found in two-dimensional structures similar to that of microtubules. The present work introduces another class of topological phonons, this time occurring in quasi-one-dimensional filamentary structures with inversion symmetry. The phenomenon is exemplified using a structure inspired from that of actin microfilaments, present in most live cells. The system discussed here is probably the simplest structure that supports topological phonon modes, a fact that allows detailed analysis in both time and frequency domains. We advance the hypothesis that the topological phonon modes are ubiquitous in the biological world and that living organisms make use of them during various processes.
Efficacy and Safety Assessment of the Addition of Bevacizumab to Adjuvant Therapy Agents in Cancer Patients: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials (2015)

Combining bevacizumab with different adjuvant therapies provides a survival benefit across all major subsets of patients, including by tumor type, type of adjuvant therapy, and duration and dose of bevacizumab therapy. Though bevacizumab was associated with increased risks of some adverse drug reactions such as hypertension and bleeding, anemia and fatigue were improved by the addition of bevacizumab.
Sulfonic Acids (2000)

Abstract Tully, Paul S. (Stepan Co.). Organic sulfonic acids having the formula RSO 3 H are described herein. Typical R‐groups are derived from organic radicals based on alkanes, alkenes, alkynes, and arenes. These groups may contain a wide variety of secondary functionalities. A wide variety of sulfonic acids and their derivatives are used industrially on a large scale in the manufacture of surfactants, dyes, inks, dispersing agents, and polymers. Those sulfonic acids that find broad application as catalysts in both alkylation processes and general organic reactions are also disclosed. More esoteric applications in the areas of custom organic syntheses and biological research involving sulfonic acid is described, as is the environmental fate of linear alkylbenzenesulfonic acid and its sulfonates.
Performance of trickle bed biofilters under high toluene loading (1995)

The performance of two pelletized media biofilters, highly loaded with toluene, was evaluated in this study. Both biofilters were operated at the same influent concentration of 250 ppmv toluene. Biofilter `A` was operated at 1 minute EBRT and biofilter `B` at 0.67 minute EBRT. The impact of backwash duration on performance was studied for both biofilters, primarily the stability of performance between backwashings. This biofilter behavior indicated that increasing the backwash period from 1 to 2 hours was effective in improving the performance stability of both biofilters. This improved performance stability is due to reduction of short circuiting within the media, caused by accumulating biomass.
