The effect of tibial attachment site on graft impingement in an anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (1992)

Anterior cruciate ligament reconstructions were performed in 14 cadaveric knee specimens using a 6-mm wide polypropylene graft. The graft was passed through a femoral tunnel at the attachment site of the anterior medial bundle of the anterior cruciate ligament. Seven tibial positions were evaluated as to the change in attachment site distance with passive range of motion and impingement on the intercondylar notch as the knee was passively ranged from 0 degree to 90 degrees of flexion. Impingement was also evaluated while the knee was extended by pulling through the quadriceps tendon. The tibial placement site affects the change in attachment site distance with passive range of motion and impingement on the intercondylar notch. Grafts passed through drill holes anterior and lateral to the insertion of the anterior fibers of the anterior cruciate ligament consistently produced impingement on the anterior outlet of the intercondylar notch. Knee extension with quadriceps tendon pull produced graft impingement in a greater arc of flexion than passive extension. Based on this study, optimum placement of the tibial hole should be at the insertion of the anterior medial fibers of the anterior cruciate ligament. Impingement recognized during surgery can be alleviated with notchplasty. With passive extension there should be a 3-mm clearance between the anterior portion of the intercondylar notch and the ligament graft to prevent the graft from impinging when the knee is actively extended.
Binding Properties of Octaaminocryptands (2000)

Complexation and protonation equilibria were studied in aqueous solution for a new range of aminocryptand ligands, N(CH2CH2NHCH2RCH2NHCH2CH2)3N, (R = m-xylyl, p-xylyl, 2,5-furan, 2,6-pyridine) and demonstrate that stability constants for first transition series ions Co2+ to Zn2+ are relatively high. X-ray crystallography shows that the cryptands are reasonably well preorganized for complexation. The furan-spaced cryptand L6.H2O crystallizes in the rhomobohedral space group R3 (no. 148) with a = 14.645(1), b = 14.645(1), and c = 25.530(4) A, whereas the m-xylyl-spaced cryptand L4 crystallizes in the triclinic space group P1 (no. 2) with a = 9.517(1), b = 15.584(2), and c = 23.617(4) A. The highest formation constant (log beta21 = 33.07) is observed for the dicopper cryptate of a pyridine-spaced cryptand, suggesting involvement in complexation of donors from the spacer link. This pyridine-spaced host also shows good selectivity for copper(II) over zinc(II), making it a possible candidate for treatment of copper-excess pathology.
Digital Keyers in Video Switchers and Effects Systems (1991)

Designing a digital video production switcher by simply copying the analog building blocks, adder for adder, multiplier for multiplier, can have inferior results. Digital technology offers opportunities for improvements that were not possible with analog circuitry. This article focuses on keyers and first explains how a keyer works in an analog switcher. It then shows how this implementation can result in jagged key edges in a digital keyer and presents a solution that can eliminate this problem. Self-keyers are discussed and a digital keyer that eliminates key fringing is presented.
Relation between anatomic respiratory dead space and body size and lung volume (1963)

The respiratory anatomic dead space has been measured by the single breath nitrogen washout method of Fowler in 73 normal subjects ranging from 4 to 42 years of age. The volume of the anatomic dead space correlated closely with height (Vd (ml) = 7.585 x Ht (cm)2.363 x 10-4·ɣ = .917), but also with body weight, surface area, and functional residual capacity. When compared on the basis of any of these parameters there was no significant difference between the anatomic dead space values for males and females. Comparisons with available data for newborn infants suggest that the value of the anatomic dead space has a relatively constant relation to height from birth to adulthood. Dead space appears to increase more rapidly than weight, surface area, and functional residual capacity during, at least, the early period of somatic growth.
Approximating PI (2017)

Ever since mankind began surveying areas and building, the need to measure circles has been important. For this task, we need π. As we know today, π is one of the most peculiar of numbers. It is not rational, but instead, irrational, and is a special kind of irrational number, called a transcendental number, meaning that it cannot be the solution of a polynomial equation with integer coefficients.

Remote robot control using intelligent hand-held devices (2004)

The development of intelligent hand-held devices provides a new resolution for remote robot control. Using the intelligent hand-held devices, user could perform the control robot from anywhere at anytime. In this paper, the characteristics and classification of intelligent hand-held devices are analyzed and a universal architecture mode for remote robot control using intelligent hand-held devices is proposed. And then, the technical solutions and implementation mechanisms are discussed according to current technologies. Finally, taking the PT500 industry robot as the control objective, this paper adopts multiple solutions to construct and implement its remote control system based on intelligent hand-held devices. The experiment shows that the intelligent hand-held devices extremely extend the controllable scope of robot in time and location, which provides much convenience for remote users.
CinemaScreen Recommender Agent: Combining Collaborative and Content-Based Filtering (2006)

A film recommender agent expands and fine-tunes collaborative-filtering results according to filtered content elements - namely, actors, directors, and genres. This approach supports recommendations for newly released, previously unrated titles. Directing users to relevant content is increasingly important in today's society with its ever-growing information mass. To this end, recommender systems have become a significant component of e-commerce systems and an interesting application domain for intelligent agent technology.
Detection of Secondary-Path Irregularities in Active Noise Control Headphones (2014)

Headphones with adaptive feedback ANC show a good performance if the secondary-path is well known. The secondary-path however changes considerably if the headphones are lifted. In this paper, it is shown that these changes mainly affect the low frequencies of the secondary-path and that the resulting low-frequency poles of the system cause instabilities. However, the changes in the secondary-path can be detected via low-frequency changes of the adaptive filter. A cost-efficient algorithm in the time-domain is developed to detect and react to these changes in order to keep the ANC system stable. Experimental results show that the algorithm yields the desired ANC performance in the regular use case and still avoids instabilities even during sudden changes in the secondary-path.
Recognition of thalidomide defects. (1992)

Thalidomide: a brief history Thalidomide (alpha-phthalimido-glutarimide) was developed by the German firm Chemie Grunenthal as an anticonvulsant drug. Early trials showed it to be unsuitable for this pur- pose but indicated that it had sedative proper- ties. Furthermore, it had one remarkable prop- erty: overdoses simply caused prolonged sleep, not death. The drug was first marketed in Germany in 1957 under the name Contergan, and in the UK in April 1958 as Distaval. Later, compound preparations which combined tha- lidomide with other drugs were marketed for a wide variety of indications: Asmaval for asthma, Tensival for hypertension, Valgraine for migraine, and so forth. The promotion of these products laid great stress on the safety of thalidomide, based on the remarkable property described above.
Thermoanalytical studies of intumescent systems (1993)

Abstract Fire retardant intumescent coatings which produce a swollen char on heating are being frequently used to protect buildings containing structural steel from the effects of exposure to high temperatures caused by fire. This paper contains details of a study carried out using thermal analysis techniques to elucidate the mechanisms of the development of intumescent chars during the heating of an intumescent coating system based on ammonium polyphosphate, pentaerythritol and melamine. In particular, the role of melamine as the spumific agent has been studied. The melamine is shown to react chemically with the ammonium polyphosphate in addition to carrying out its role as the spumific, or blowing agent.
Modified Optimized Link State Routing (M-OLSR) for Wireless Mesh Networks (2008)

Wireless mesh networks (WMNs) are a type of radio-based network systems which require minimal configuration and infrastructure. One of the factors that influence the performance of WMNs is the underlying routing protocol used. Here, we propose one such routing protocol, called M-OLSR, which is a variant of OLSR, a traditional link-state protocol developed to meet the requirements of mobile adhoc networks MANETs. Our approach improves the throughput and packet delivery ratio, while minimizing routing overhead and delay, by choosing a stable path for packet forwarding through static routers. Simulation results demonstrate that, for WMNs, the M-OLSR outperforms OLSR in terms of throughput, packet delivery ratio, and routing overhead.
Bacteria Associated with the Caribbean Fruit Fly1,2 (1972)

Attempts were made to identify bacteria normally associated with Anastrepha suspensa (Loew). Isolations (70), were made under aerobic conditions from apparently healthy field-collected larvae and larval trails in infested guavas, as well as from laboratory-reared eggs and larvae. Four different bacteria, Micrococcus sp. ( flavus -like), Erwinia sp., Pseudomonas sp., and P. ovalis Chester were encountered. Although possible, none were isolated with such regularity as to suggest an intimate symbiotic relationship.
Histology (1989)

Histological verification is an important part of cancer diagnosis, but though regarded as essential it is not invariably so. The diagnosis of cancer can in certain cases be made by clinical examination alone, and in many cases e.g. basal cell carcinoma, this is almost the rule. In other cases it is the clinical pattern of disease which is diagnostic — there are few who would dispute the post-mortem finding of a cancer of the lung with node and/or disseminated metastases and there are numerous analogies where the pattern of the disease can be conclusive.

Indolizines. Part V. The synthesis of 3-amino- and 3-acetamido-indolizines and their precursors, the 3-azo-, -nitroso-, -nitro-, and -acetyl-indolizines (1972)

The most convenient method for the preparation of 3-aminoindolizines has been shown to be the rapid reduction of 3-nitrosoindolizines by means of hydrazine hydrate in the presence of palladium–charcoal. The amines have also been prepared by similar reduction of 3-nitro- and 3-azoindolizines, and, as their acetyl derivatives, by the Schmidt reaction from 3-acetylindolizines. Indolizine and 2-methylindolizine have, for the first time, been nitrated in the 3-position by the use of acetic anhydride and nitric acid; the implications of this reaction are discussed.
Modeling and Simulation of Processes in a Factory of the Future (2020)

Current trends in manufacturing, which are based on customisation and gradually customised production, are becoming the main initiator for the development of new manufacturing approaches. New manufacturing approaches are counted as the application of new behavioural management patterns that calculate the retained competencies of decision-making by the individual members of the system agent; the production becomes decentralised. The interaction of the members of such a system creates emergent behaviour, where the result cannot be accurately determined by ordinary methods and simulation must be applied. Modelling and simulation will, therefore, be an integral part of the planning and control of the processes of factories of the future. The purpose of the article is to describe the use of modelling and simulation processes in factories of the future. The first part of the article describes new manufacturing concepts that will be used in factories of the future, with a description of modelling and simulation routing in the frame of Industry 4.0. The next section describes how simulation is used for the control of manufacturing processes in factories of the future. The included subsection describes the implementation of this suggested pattern in the laboratory of ZIMS (Zilina Intelligent Manufacturing System), with an example of a metamodeling application and the results obtained.
The TM-l/TL-2 Short Haul Microwave Systems (1966)

This paper describes the design and discusses the performance of the TM-1 and TL-2 radio relay systems designed for short haul service in the 5925 to 6425 megacycle and the 10,700 to 11,700 megacycle common carrier bands, respectively. Used as a crossband diversity pair, they provide a highly reliable broadband message channel for up to 600 circuits and require little maintenance and relatively low power. These systems are also used to transmit television.
Dynamic Changes in Numbers and Properties of Circulating Tumor Cells and Their Potential Applications (2014)

Circulating tumor cells (CTCs) can be detected in the blood of different types of early or advanced cancer using immunology-based assays or nucleic acid methods. The detection and quantification of CTCs has significant clinical utility in the prognosis of metastatic breast, prostate, and colorectal cancers. CTCs are a heterogeneous population of cells and often different from those of their respective primary tumor. Understanding the biology of CTCs may provide useful predictive information for the selection of the most appropriate treatment. Therefore, CTC detection and characterization could become a valuable tool to refine prognosis and serve as a "real-time biopsy" and has the potential to guide precision cancer therapies, monitor cancer treatment, and investigate the process of metastasis.
Photochemical Patterning of Ionically Cross-Linked Hydrogels (2013)

Iron(III) cross-linked alginate hydrogel incorporating sodium lactate undergoes photoinduced degradation, thus serving as a biocompatible positive photoresist suitable for photochemical patterning. Alternatively, surface etching of iron(III) cross-linked hydrogel contacting lactic acid solution can be used for controlling the thickness of the photochemical pattering. Due to biocompatibility, both of these approaches appear potentially useful for advanced manipulation with cell cultures including growing cells on the surface or entrapping them within the hydrogel.
Design of amplifiers and oscillators by the S-parameter method (1982)

This book presents a modern approach to
the design of amplifier and oscillator circuits.
While many electronics firms now
depend on scattering-parameter designs
in their product lines, there has been
no single reference source to the fundamentals,
tools, and applications of the
S-parameter method. This book serves
practicing designers as a working guide to
S-parameter design, with emphasis on
impedance-matching techniques that do
not require the use of a computer.
The book's sections cover basic concepts
and tools, amplifier designs, and oscillator
designs. The first chapter introduces
S-parameter two-port network theory
and the definitions of power gain. Chapter
Two describes microwave transistors,
microstriplines, and impedance-matching
techniques. This chapter includes a brief
description of the most important threeterminal
microwave transistors, the
silicon bipolar transistor, and the GaAs
MESFET
Following this introduction, the book
discusses actual designs and design
problems. Chapter Three is devoted
to amplifier designs, including the special
considerations of balanced-amplifiers,
high-power, broadband-amplifiers, feedback,
and two-stage-amplifier designs.
Basic limitations in device and circuit
performance are discussed for each
design. The final chapter deals with
oscillator design, introducing the compressed
Smith Chart and the application
of S-parameters to oscillator circuits.
Low-noise, high-power, broadband, and
buffered oscillator design considerations
are treated in this chapter.
Design of Amplifiers and Oscillators
By The S-Parameter Method will help
the thinking of the design engineer who is
using computer-aided design, which can
be a risky, expensive solution to a poorly
understood design problem. Engineers
will find it a source of practical day-to-day
guidance in microwave device and circuit
design. Advanced students will find it an
outstanding introduction to S-parameter
techniques as well as to current microwave
components.
Securing Trusted Execution Environments with PUF Generated Secret Keys (2012)

Trusted Execution Environments are quickly becoming a preferred method for providing isolation between secure and non-secure execution environments. The protection of these environments, as well as their software structure, is still a primary area of interest and research. The abililty to use a Physically Unclonable Function to generate a unique-per-device AES key provides an excellent mechanism for protection of a Trusted Execution Environment at rest through encryption. These keys can also be used to manage modification of the TEE during execution. In this paper, we present an new methodology for how this protection can be achieved, as well as a framework for the incorporation of Physically Unclonable Functions into cryptographic engines.
Reconfigurable photonic-based rf and data signal distribution systems for space-based sensor and avionics applications (1997)

Existing manned airborne platforms are becoming increasingly loaded with additional mission performance requirements. These requirements severely stress weight, mission performance, size and electromagnetic interference (EM!) constraints. In addition, as platforms are reduced in size - such as space-based platforms - these limitations become extremely critical. Optical fiber-based systems can be used to provide both data and RF signal distribution for sensors and avionics. These photonic-based systems are lighter weight, smaller in size, lower in loss, and reduce or eliminate signal interference as compared to existing metallic-based signal distribution systems. These fiber based systems apply to both RF and data transmission in manned and unmanned space-based and airborne platforms as well as ground based applications. Photonics also provides non-frequency dependent true time delay RF signal distribution. This results in the additional benefit of improved interferometric direction finding and beam nulling through software applications in sensor and avionics systems. This paper will discuss research which is underway at Rome Laboratory to develop actively reconfigurable photonic-based signal distribution systems, using either all optical techniques - including optical switching - or through a combination of optics and electronics, to meet the future requirements for avionics and sensors in airborne and space-based platforms.
