Overview of flowline bundle technology from concept selection to offshore installation (2013)

Flowline bundle system consisting of carrier pipe,sleeve pipe and internal flowlines offers innovative solution for the infield transportation of oil and gas. Due to its features,flowline bundle offers a couple of advantages over conventional flowline in particular for cases where multi-flowlines and high thermal performance is of great interest. The main benefits and advantages of such system include excellent thermal performance to prevent wax formation and hydrates,multiple bundled flowlines,mechanical and corrosion protection,potential reuse, etc. With the developments of offshore oil and gas industries,more and more hydrocarbon resources are being explored and discovered from shallow to deep water. Pipeline bundle system can be a smart solution for certain applications,which can be safe and cost effective solution. The objective of this paper is to overview pipeline bundle technology,outline detailed engineering design issue and procedure. Focus is given to its potential application in offshore for infield transportation. Engineering design principles and procedures for pipeline bundle system are highlighted. Construction methods of flowline bundle onshore are reviewed. Offshore towing and installation of pipeline bundle procedure is outlined.

Exact synthesis of millimetre-wave signals has been realised for the first time by heterodyne detection of DFB lasers locked to an optical frequency comb generator. Signals were generated in the range 10 to 40 GHz with SSB noise of -74 dBc/Hz at 100 kHz offset.
<i>A</i> <i>b</i> <i>i</i> <i>n</i> <i>i</i> <i>t</i> <i>i</i> <i>o</i> self−consistent field (SCF) calculations on borane icosahedra with zero, one, or two substituted carbon atoms (1988)

Restricted Hartree–Fock calculations at the double-zeta level are performed for the closed-shell isoelectronic molecules B12H−212, CB11H−12 , and 1,12-C2 B10 H12 . The geometries are optimized and the vibrational spectra are obtained. The behavior of the molecular orbitals upon carbon substitution is analyzed. The results are compared with the available experimental and theoretical results from the literature. The main features of the electronic structure are correctly described at this level of approximation. The new results can aid in the interpretation of photoemission, infrared absorption, and Raman scattering experiments on these molecules.
<i>Arabidopsis</i>EPSIN1 Plays an Important Role in Vacuolar Trafficking of Soluble Cargo Proteins in Plant Cells via Interactions with Clathrin, AP-1, VTI11, and VSR1 (2006)

Epsin and related proteins play important roles in various steps of protein trafficking in animal and yeast cells. Many epsin homologs have been identified in plant cells from analysis of genome sequences. However, their roles have not been elucidated. Here, we investigate the expression, localization, and biological role in protein trafficking of an epsin homolog, Arabidopsis thaliana EPSIN1, which is expressed in most tissues we examined. In the cell, one pool of EPSIN1 is associated with actin filaments, producing a network pattern, and a second pool localizes primarily to the Golgi complex with a minor portion to the prevacuolar compartment, producing a punctate staining pattern. Protein pull-down and coimmunoprecipitation experiments reveal that Arabidopsis EPSIN1 interacts with clathrin, VTI11, gamma-adaptin-related protein (gamma-ADR), and vacuolar sorting receptor1 (VSR1). In addition, EPSIN1 colocalizes with clathrin and VTI11. The epsin1 mutant, which has a T-DNA insertion in EPSIN1, displays a defect in the vacuolar trafficking of sporamin:green fluorescent protein (GFP), but not in the secretion of invertase:GFP into the medium. Stably expressed HA:EPSIN1 complements this trafficking defect. Based on these data, we propose that EPSIN1 plays an important role in the vacuolar trafficking of soluble proteins at the trans-Golgi network via its interaction with gamma-ADR, VTI11, VSR1, and clathrin.
Effect of mate tea (<i>Ilex paraguariensis</i>) on the expression of the leukocyte NADPH oxidase subunit p47<sup>phox</sup> and on circulating inflammatory cytokines in healthy men: a pilot study (2018)

Increased superoxide production by phagocytic NADPH oxidase has been associated with inflammatory conditions. Growing evidences suggest that dietary polyphenols may modulate the expression of NADPH oxidase subunits. Herein, we examined whether soluble mate tea (SMT) consumption - a polyphenol-rich beverage - affects the expression of the leukocyte NADPH oxidase protein p47<sup>phox</sup> and/or circulating biomarkers of inflammation and antioxidant biomarkers in humans. In a two-phase study, nine men were requested to drink water (control) for 8 d and then follow a second 8-d period drinking SMT. Blood samples were analysed for p47<sup>phox</sup> protein in CD16<sup>+</sup>/CD14<sup>-</sup> cells, interleukin (IL)-1β (IL-1β), tumour necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), IL-6, total phenols, and reduced and oxidised glutathione (GSH and GSSG, respectively) after each study phase. After SMT intake, CD16<sup>+</sup>/CD14<sup>-</sup> cells' p47<sup>phox</sup> protein and serum TNF-α and IL-6 levels were significantly attenuated (P < .05) while plasma phenolic compounds and blood GSH:GSSG ratio were significantly enhanced (P < .05). Consumption of SMT favourably affected leukocytes' p47<sup>phox</sup> expression and inflammatory cytokine and antioxidants levels in peripheral blood, which may help decrease oxidative stress and low-grade inflammation.
The gas-phase photochemistry and thermal decomposition of glyoxylic acid (1985)

The photolysis of glyoxylic acid vapour has been studied at five wavelengths, 382, 366, 346, 275, and 239 nm, and pressures from about 1 to 6 Torr, at a temperature of 355 K. Major products were CO 2 and CH 2 O, initially formed in almost equal amounts, while minor products were CO and H 2 . Except at 382 nm, the system was complicated by the rapid secondary photolysis of CH 2 O. Three primary processes are suggested, each involving internal H-atom transfer followed by dissociation.The absorption spectrum is reported and shows the three distinct absorption systems. A finely-structured spectrum from about 320 to 400 nm is attributed to a transition to the first excited π* ← n + singlet state; a more diffuse absorption ranging from about 290 nm to a maximum at 239 nm is assigned to the π* ← n − state, while a much stronger absorption beginning below 230 nm is attributed to the π* ← π transition. Product ratios vary with wavelength and depend on which excited state is involved.The thermal decomposition was studied briefly in a static system at temperatures from 470 to 710 K and pressures from 0.4 to 8 Torr. Major products were again CO 2 and CH 2 O, but the latter was always less than stoichiometric. First-order rate constants for the apparently homogeneous formation of CO 2 are described by Arrhenius parameters log A (s −1 ) = 7.80 and E = 30.8 kcal/mol. Carbon monoxide and H 2 were minor products, and the CO/CO 2 ratio increased with increasing temperature and showed some surface enhancement at lower temperatures. The SF 6 -sensitized thermal decomposition of glyoxylic acid, induced by a pulsed CO 2 laser, was briefly studied, with temperatures estimated to be in the 1100–1600 K range, and the CO/CO 2 ratio increased with increasing temperature, continuing the trend observed in the static system.
Power analysis and optimization for high-speed I/O transceivers (2011)

This paper analytically optimizes the overall power consumption of the signaling path of a high-speed link utilizing a source-series terminated (SST) transmitter, either a receive continuous-time linear equalizer (CTLE) or transmit pre-emphasis, and operating over a simple single-pole channel. The analysis derives the optimal allocation between transmit swing and receive gain as well as the allocation of power consumption between the two sides. The analysis also shows that the pre-driver overheads inherent in implementing programmable transmit pre-emphasis make the receive CTLE a substantially more power-efficient solution.
Broken Corn Detection Based on an Adjusted YOLO With Focal Loss (2019)

Corns may be broken during corn mechanical harvesting. The ratio of broken corns measures the quality of mechanical harvesting and should be monitored in real time. This paper presents a method of detecting both broken and non-broken corns at the conveyor belt of a corn harvester based on the YOLO. The network structure of the YOLO is adjusted here to obtain more robust features so that it can work well in the open working space of the corn harvesting. Moreover, we improve the loss function to ensure that the hard examples can catch more attention during training. As it is difficult to obtain many training data of broken corns, the simulated broken corn images are generated from the real images of corns by a simple synthetic method. The concerned corn detection network of the proposed YOLO-based method is first trained with plenty of simulated samples and then fine-tuned with the real corn images. The experiments on real corn data confirm that the proposed YOLO-based method can achieve good accuracy and fast speed on the NVIDIA TX2.
High-Frequency Dynamic Current Sharing Analyses for Multiphase Buck VRs (2007)

Under high-frequency repetitive load transients, multiphase voltage regulators suffer from beat-frequency oscillations of the phase currents. To investigate this issue, this paper develops a methodology based on the multifrequency model with describing functions. The phenomenon of beat-frequency oscillation in phase currents is explained. The influences from the interleaving operation are identified. Using peak-current control as an example, the magnitude of beat-frequency oscillations is predicted by a proposed model that considers sideband information. To reduce this oscillation without impacting the voltage regulation, several solutions are proposed. Experimental and simulation results are provided as verification of the analyses and solutions.
Determination of Some Chemical Constitutes of Oak Plants (Quercus spp) in the Mountain Oak Forest of Sulaimani Governorate (2010)

In this research work some chemical constitutes of Oak species were evaluated as a natural products in acorn, pericarp and cupules in the tree oak species (Quercus aegilops, Q. infectoria and Q. libani). The plant sample was collected in Khamza location district of Sulaimani Governorate during October- November 2004. The preliminary chemical detection for the composition in acorn, pericarp and cupules in each of the three species showed the presence of flavonoid, alkaloid, glycosides, tannins, phenolic compounds, resins, saponins, terpenes and steroid while the detection gave a negative results for alkaloids and saponins in acorn of the three test oak species. Total phenols conc. was determined by folin-cioculate method, while the total tannins were determined by radical diffusion method after extraction by dissolving samples in acetone (70%). Results indicated the existence of significant differences in total phenols and total tannins, conc. at 5% LSD among the fruit parts and species, indicating that pericarp of Q. aegilops contain the highest conc. of total phenols and total tannins, reaching (268.38 and 180.814 mg/g) respectively. Conc. of these compounds in cupules of Q. infectoria were the lowest reaching (171.49 and 51.802 mg/g) respectively. Ellagic acids were separated and determined using HPLC technique (high performance liquid chromatography), column (BD-C-18) type and mobile phase (0.01 M potassium phosphate buffer, methanol 70:30 v/v) after extraction by methanol (80%). The acorn of Q. infectoria contained the highest conc. of ellagic acid (5.168 mg/g) while cupules of Q. libani contained the lowest conc. of these compounds (1.310 mg/g).
Two- and three-photon absorption properties of fan-shaped dendrons derived from 2,3,8-trifunctionalized indenoquinoxaline units: synthesis and characterization (2017)

Fan-shaped dendrimers are synthesized and experimentally found to possess strong two-/three-photon absorption in the femtosecond regime.
Simultaneous determination of spinosad, temephos, and piperonyl butoxide in animal‐derived foods using LC–MS/MS (2019)

Pesticides, which are used as plant protection products, can enter the food chain, and exposure to these xenobiotics can cause a wide array of health problems in humans. Therefore, the objective of the present study was to develop an analytical method for the simultaneous determination of residual spinosad (sum of spinosyn A and D), temephos and piperonyl butoxide in porcine muscle, egg, milk, eel, flatfish and shrimp (sampling period: February to June 2018) using liquid chromatography-triple quadrupole tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). The target analytes were extracted with a combination of acidified acetonitrile and ethyl acetate and subsequently purified with original QuEChERS kits (composed of magnesium sulfate and sodium chloride) as well as n-hexane. All analytes were separated on a reversed-phase analytical column using a mobile phase of (A) 0.1% formic acid containing 10 mm ammonium formate in distilled water and (B) methanol. Good linearity (R<sup>2</sup> ≥ 0.980) was achieved over the tested concentration range (3.5-35 μg/kg for spinosyn A; 1.5-15 μg/kg for spinosyn D; 5-50 μg/kg for temephos and piperonyl butoxide) in matrix-matched standard calibrations. Fortified samples at three spiking levels yielded recoveries in the range of 71-105% with relative standard deviations ≤9.2%. The applicability of the method was evaluated via evaluating samples collected from a large wholesale market located in Seoul, and none of the samples contained any of the target analytes. In conclusion, the current approach is simple, efficient and reliable and can successfully determine the residual levels of spinosad, temephos and piperonyl butoxide in complex animal-derived food products.
Finite Scattering Matrix for an Infinite Antenna Array (1967)

A finite scattering matrix, S , for a plane‐wave excited infinite array is developed for the purpose of relating a number of array and active‐element properties. The size of S depends on the polarization in space, the grating lobe locations, and the propagating modes in the feed. Array properties such as scattering on receive, transmission amplitude and phase, surface‐wave propagation, phase and amplitude of the active‐element pattern, etc., are described by this matrix. For the lossless array, the unitary conditions on S further relate the array properties. Some of the results are illustrated by the exact S matrix for an infinite TEM parallel‐plate array. The active element charactenst1cs, and the occurrence of surface‐wave‐type mutual admittances, are discussed in terms of S .
MicroMeasure: A new computer program for the collection and analysis of cytogenetic data (2001)

The ability to identify individual chromosomes in cytological preparations is an essential component of many investigations. While several computer software applications have been used to facilitate such quantitative karyotype analysis, most of these programs are limited by design for specific types of analyses, or can be used only with specific hardware configurations. MicroMeasure is a new image analysis application that may be used to collect data for a wide variety of chromosomal parameters from electronically captured or scanned images. Unlike similar applications, MicroMeasure may be individually configured by the end user to suit a wide variety of research needs. This program can be used with most common personal computers, and requires no unusual or specific hardware. MicroMeasure is made available to the research community without cost by the Department of Biology at Colorado State University via the World Wide Web at http://www.biology.colostate.edu/MicroMeasure.Key words: MicroMeasure, computer program, chromosome measurement, cytogenetics.
A systematic review of the nasal index and the significance of the shape and size of the nose in rhinology (2009)

Nasal proportions are important aesthetically but appear to have little relevance to the rhinologist.
Intracellular Plutonium: Removal by Liposome-Encapsulated Chelating Agent (1973)

Chelating agents, such as ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) and diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid (DTPA) were successfully encapsulated within lipid spherules (that is, liposomes). Encapsutlated [(14)C]EDTA, given intravenously to mice, was retained longer in tissues that nonencapsulated [(14)C]EDTA. Encapsulated DTPA, given to mice 3 days after pluttonium injection, removed an additional fraction of plutonium in the liver, presumably intracellular, not available to nonencapslulated DTPA. It also further increased urinary excretion of plutonium. Introduction of chelating agents into cells by liposomal encapsulation is a promising new approach to the treatment of metal poisoning
Fibrinogen in systemic lupus erythematosus: more than an acute phase reactant? (2000)

Plasma FNG in patients with SLE increases throughout followup regardless of disease activity, mimicking the age related increment observed in population based studies. The rapidity of the increment may reflect the prematurity of vascular disease typical of SLE.
Closed-chest electrode-catheter technique for His bundle ablation in dogs (1981)

A modified quadripolar electrode catheter that had two-thirds of the distal surface insulated with high-voltage plastic was inserted in 10 dogs. After a His bundle potential had been recorded, a synchronized direct-current electrical discharge was delivered between the electrodes showing the largest His bundle deflection using a standard direct-current defibrillator, and a metallic plate was positioned over the dog's back. Complete atrioventricular (AV) block was induced in 9 of 10 dogs, which were followed for 3 mo before being killed. During AV block, the QRS complex was broad and not preceded by a His bundle deflection. The mean control cycle length during AV block was 1,441 +/- 223 ms and decreased to 1,151 +/- 181 ms after exercise, a response that was usually abolished by beta-blockade. Overdrive pacing resulted in pacemaker suppression with gradual rate stabilization after 10-20 beats. There was no evidence of myocardial or valvular damage. This technique provides for a stable model of complete AV block and is suitable for experiments in which heart rate control is required. In addition, this technique may be of value for patients with tachycardia requiring His bundle section.
The Taxol Supply Crisis. New NCI Policies for Handling the Large-Scale Production of Novel Natural Product Anticancer and Anti-HIV Agents (1993)

Over the past 30 years, the National Cancer Institute has been involved in the preclinical and/or clinical evaluation of the majority of those agents approved for the treatment of cancer. Many of the new agents under consideration in the NCI program are either natural products or derivatives of natural product leads, and of critical importance to their development is the issue of drug supply. In responding to the drug supply crisis which emerged with the demonstration of the clinical efficacy of taxol, the NCI has identified several important lessons for those interested in natural product drug discovery and development. As a result, the NCI has developed plans to avert similar supply crisis in the future by initiating exploratory research projects for large-scale production of promising agents at the earliest possible point following the demonstration of confirmed antitumor activity. These plans, together with a review of the development of taxol, are presented in this paper.
Medians and Beyond: New Aggregation Techniques for Sensor Networks (2004)

Wireless sensor networks offer the potential to span and monitor large geographical areas inexpensively. Sensors, however, have significant power constraint (battery life), making communication very expensive. Another important issue in the context of sensor-based information systems is that individual sensor readings are inherently unreliable. In order to address these two aspects, sensor database systems like TinyDB and Cougar enable in-network data aggregation to reduce the communication cost and improve reliability. The existing data aggregation techniques, however, are limited to relatively simple types of queries such as SUM, COUNT, AVG, and MIN/MAX. In this paper we propose a data aggregation scheme that significantly extends the class of queries that can be answered using sensor networks. These queries include (approximate) quantiles, such as the median, the most frequent data values, such as the consensus value, a histogram of the data distribution, as well as range queries. In our scheme, each sensor aggregates the data it has received from other sensors into a fixed (user specified) size message. We provide strict theoretical guarantees on the approximation quality of the queries in terms of the message size. We evaluate the performance of our aggregation scheme by simulation and demonstrate its accuracy, scalability and low resource utilization for highly variable input data sets.
Premature centromere division: A possible manifestation of chromosome instability (1995)

Retrospective analysis of "routine" chromosome preparations from 2 patients with Fanconi anemia and 2 others with ataxia-teleangiectasia showed increased chromosome breakage and a tendency to premature centromere division (PCD) with special reference to early separation of the large acrocentric (13-15) chromosomes. The findings suggest that PCD may be a manifestation of chromosome instability related to potential malignancy.
Self-Assembled via Metal–Ligand Coordination AzaBODIPY–Zinc Phthalocyanine and AzaBODIPY–Zinc Naphthalocyanine Conjugates: Synthesis, Structure, and Photoinduced Electron Transfer (2013)

Using near-IR emitting photosensitizers, viz., zinc phthalocyanine (ZnPc), zinc naphthalocyanine (ZnNc), and BF2-chelated azadipyrromethene (azaBODIPY), donor–acceptor conjugates have been newly formed using the well-known metal–ligand axial coordination approach. To accomplish this task, the electron-deficient azaBODIPY was functionalized to possess either two pyridine or imidazole ligating entities. The X-ray crystal structure of one such derivative revealed the presence of axial binding capable pyridine entities on the azaBODIPY macrocycle. The structural integrity of the newly formed conjugates was established from optical absorption, emission, 1H NMR, electrochemical, and computational methods. The experimentally determined binding constants suggested moderately stable conjugates. The absence of excitation energy transfer from singlet excited azaBODIPY to either ZnPc or ZnNc in the conjugates was confirmed from the steady-state emission measurements. However, free-energy calculations suggested photoinduced electron transfer to be exothermic from singlet excited ZnPc or ZnNc to azaBODIPY. Femtosecond transient studies confirmed such predictions from where occurrence of ultrafast photoinduced electron transfer was observed. The measured rates of charge separation and charge recombination (kCS and kCR) revealed charge stabilization to some extent in these conjugates.
