Anesthetic Management and One-Year Mortality After Noncardiac Surgery (2004)

Little is known about the effect of anesthetic management on long-term outcomes. We designed a prospective observational study of adult patients undergoing major noncardiac surgery with general anesthesia to determine if mortality in the first year after surgery is associated with demographic, preoperative clinical, surgical, or intraoperative variables. One-year mortality was 5.5% in all patients (n = 1064) and 10.3% in patients > or =65 yr old (n=243). Multivariate Cox Proportional Hazards modeling identified three variables as significant independent predictors of mortality: patient comorbidity (relative risk, 16.116; P <0.0001), cumulative deep hypnotic time (Bispectral Index <45) (relative risk=1.244/h; P=0.0121) and intraoperative systolic hypotension (relative risk=1.036/min; P=0.0125). Death during the first year after surgery is primarily associated with the natural history of preexisting conditions. However, cumulative deep hypnotic time and intraoperative hypotension were also significant, independent predictors of increased mortality. These associations suggest that intraoperative anesthetic management may affect outcomes over longer time periods than previously appreciated.
MKNN: Modified K-Nearest Neighbor (2009)

Abstract — In this paper, a new classification method for enhancing the performance of K-Nearest Neighbor is proposed which uses robust neighbors in training data. This new classification method is called Modified K-Nearest Neighbor, MKNN. Inspired the traditional KNN algorithm, the main idea is classifying the test samples according to their neighbor tags. This method is a kind of weighted KNN so that these weights are determined using a different procedure. The procedure computes the fraction of the same labeled neighbors to the total number of neighbors. The proposed method is evaluated on five different data sets. Experiments show the excellent improvement in accuracy in comparison with KNN method.
Fingerprint recognition to assist daily identification of radiotherapy patients (2009)

Abstract A system to assist daily identification of radiotherapy patients and to prevent accidental exposures to mis-indentified patients was developed. The fingerprint-based biometric system was chosen because of its high sensitivity in identification and suitability for hospital use. In a 6-month survey, 85.7% of the daily treatment fractions were identified successfully; 5.5% of the unsuccessful identifications were overridden by the staff and the remaining 8.8% were due to poor-quality fingerprints. No false identifications occurred so that patient was identified as a different person. During the past 2.5 years and 47,000 treatment fractions, the system has been well accepted by the patients and radiation technologists and misidentified patients have not been treated since the installation.
Thermodynamics of chromium and iron in carbonate salts at 650/sup 0/C (1985)

Chemical equilibria of chromium and iron in Li/sub 2/CO/sub 3/-K/sub 2/CO/sub 3/ were investigated in conjunction with corrosion studies of current collector materials for molten-carbonate fuel cells. The SOLGASMIX-PV computer program was used to perform thermochemical calculations to establish equilibrium phase relationships under various gas atmospheres at 650/sup 0/C. Phase stability diagrams were constructed for the systems Cr-Li-C-O, Cr-K-C-O, Cr-Li-K-C-O, Fe-Li-C-O, Fe-K-C-O, and Fe-Li-K-C-O at 650/sup 0/C. These predicted phase relationships were checked experimentally by thermogravimetric analysis, differential thermal analysis, and x-ray diffraction. The experimental results generally confirmed that reaction paths were consistent with the calculated phase stability diagrams. 22 refs., 12 figs., 6 tabs.
Querying and extracting heterogeneous graphs from structured data and unstrutured content (2012)

Ce travail introduit un ensemble de solutions pour extraire des graphes à partir des données de l'entreprise et pour aussi faciliter le processus de recherche d'information dans ces graphes. Premièrement, nous avons défini un nouveau modèle de données appelé SPIDER-Graph permettant de modéliser des objets complexes et de définir des graphes hétérogènes. Puis, nous avons développé un ensemble d'algorithmes pour extraire le contenu des bases de données de l'entreprise et les transformer suivant ce nouveau modèle de graphe. Cette représentation permet de mettre à jour des relations non explicites entre objets, relations existantes mais non visibles dans le modèle relationnel. Par ailleurs, pour unifier la représentation de toutes les données dans l'entreprise, nous avons développé, dans une deuxième approche, une méthode de constitution d une ontologie d'entreprise contenant les concepts et les relations les plus importantes d'une entreprise, et ceci, à partir de l extraction des données non structurés de cette même entreprise. Ensuite, après le processus d'extraction des différents graphes de données l'entreprise, nous avons proposé une approche qui permettent d'extraire des graphes d'interactions entre des objets hétérogènes modélisant l'entreprise. Cette approche permet d'extraire des graphes de réseaux sociaux ou des graphes d'interactions. Ensuite, nous avons proposé un nouveau langage d'interrogation visuel appelé GraphVQL ( Graph Visual Query Langauge) qui permet aux utilisateurs non experts de poser leurs requêtes visuellement sous forme de patron de graphe. Ce langage propose plusieurs types de requêtes de la simple sélection et agrégation jusqu'à l'analyse des réseaux sociaux. Il permet aussi d'interroger différent type de graphes SPIDER-Graph, RDF ou GraphML en se basant sur des algorithmes de pattern matching ou de translation des requêtes sous forme de SPARQL.
Performance of CCITT's 16 kbit/s LD-CELP algorithm with non-voice signals (2003)

Recently, CCITT adopted a low-delay code excited linear predictive (LD-CELP) coder as a new standard for the coding of telephone bandwidth speech at 16 kbit/s. The methodology and results of a performance evaluation of the LD-CELP coder with nonvoice signals are presented. From this evaluation it was determined that this algorithm is acceptably transparent to network signalling as well as voiceband data at rates not exceeding 2.4 kbit/s. Therefore, it was concluded that the 16 kbit/s LD-CELP algorithm is suitable for selected network application where high-speed voiceband data are not used, or where alternate facilities for voiceband data traffic are provided, such as in circuit multiplication equipment.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>
The Hypervariable Domain of the Murine Leukemia Virus Surface Protein Tolerates Large Insertions and Deletions, Enabling Development of a Retroviral Particle Display System (1999)

The surface proteins (SU) of murine type-C retroviruses have a central hypervariable domain devoid of cysteine and rich in proline. This 41-amino-acid region of Friend ecotropic murine leukemia virus SU was shown to be highly tolerant of insertions and deletions. Viruses in which either the N-terminal 30 amino acids or the C-terminal 22 amino acids of this region were replaced by the 7-amino-acid sequence ASAVAGA were fully infectious. Insertions of this 7-amino-acid sequence at the N terminus, center, and the C terminus of the hypervariable domain had little effect on envelope protein (Env) function, while this insertion at a position 10 amino acids following the N terminus partially destabilized the association between the SU and transmembrane subunits of Env. Large, complex domains (either a 252-amino-acid single-chain antibody binding domain [scFv] or a 96-amino-acid V1/V2 domain of HIV-1 SU containing eight N-linked glycosylation sites and two disulfides) did not interfere with Env function when inserted in the center or C-terminal portions of the hypervariable domain. The scFv domain inserted into the C-terminal region of the hypervariable domain was shown to mediate binding of antigen to viral particles, demonstrating that it folded into the active conformation and was displayed on the surface of the virion. Both positive and negative enrichment of virions expressing the V1/V2 sequence were achieved by using a monoclonal antibody specific for a conformational epitope presented by the inserted sequence. These results indicated that the hypervariable domain of Friend ecotropic SU does not contain any specific sequence or structure that is essential for Env function and demonstrated that insertions into this domain can be used to extend particle display methodologies to complex protein domains that require expression in eukaryotic cells for glycosylation and proper folding.

The Hippo pathway in tissue homeostasis and regeneration (2017)

While several organs in mammals retain partial regenerative capability following tissue damage, the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Recently, the Hippo signaling pathway, better known for its function in organ size control, has been shown to play a pivotal role in regulating tissue homeostasis and regeneration. Upon tissue injury, the activity of YAP, the major effector of the Hippo pathway, is transiently induced, which in turn promotes expansion of tissue-resident progenitors and facilitates tissue regeneration. In this review, with a general focus on the Hippo pathway, we will discuss its major components, functions in stem cell biology, involvement in tissue regeneration in different organs, and potential strategies for developing Hippo pathway-targeted regenerative medicines.
Adaptive quantum state tomography with neural networks (2021)

Abstract Current algorithms for quantum state tomography (QST) are costly both on the experimental front, requiring measurement of many copies of the state, and on the classical computational front, needing a long time to analyze the gathered data. Here, we introduce neural adaptive quantum state tomography (NAQT), a fast, flexible machine-learning-based algorithm for QST that adapts measurements and provides orders of magnitude faster processing while retaining state-of-the-art reconstruction accuracy. As in other adaptive QST schemes, measurement adaptation makes use of the information gathered from previous measured copies of the state to perform a targeted sensing of the next copy, maximizing the information gathered from that next copy. Our NAQT approach allows for a rapid and seamless integration of measurement adaptation and statistical inference, using a neural-network replacement of the standard Bayes’ update, to obtain the best estimate of the state. Our algorithm, which falls into the machine learning subfield of “meta-learning” (in effect “learning to learn” about quantum states), does not require any ansatz about the form of the state to be estimated. Despite this generality, it can be retrained within hours on a single laptop for a two-qubit situation, which suggests a feasible time-cost when extended to larger systems and potential speed-ups if provided with additional structure, such as a state ansatz.
Two-dimensional modelling for the current density distribution in a heavily doped semiconductor resistor (1997)

A two-dimensional model for the calculation of the current density distribution in a heavily doped semiconductor resistor is described as a function of time and position along the width and length. During the initial stages of the discharge, when the total current is increasing rapidly with time, the current first appears at the edges of the resistor. After the initial stages, the current diffuses from the edges toward the centre of the device. The new model described in this paper may aid in explaining the behaviours of uneven melting and programming of semiconductor bridges and antifuse devices, respectively.
Enhanced Gas-Saturation Determination in Abu Dhabi Offshore Reservoirs Through Integrated Pulsed and Thermal Neutron Log Approach (2006)

Abstract Quantifying gas saturation in carbonate formations through cased logging remains an elusive objective. Unsolved gas saturation quantification in cased hole was always thought to be due to unknown or uncontrolled borehole completion, casing, cement, acidizing, perforation, invasion and/or formation damage. Several techniques have been developed in the past to correct for the cased-hole thermal neutrons logs in an attempt to normalize the data through laboratory experiments, correction charts or open hole computer processing of effective porosity (PHIE). In Abu Dhabi offshore lower Cretaceous reservoirs, joint petrophysical & reservoir engineering efforts have shown that most of these automated corrections and/or normalizations are not capturing the real environmental changes from open-hole (OH) to cased-hole (CH). The reasons behind it are: Open-hole neutron logs were not considered as the reference; instead, old technique uses PHIE (Effective Porosity). Casing and cement corrections are based on a homogenous isotropic model. There was no proper resolution matching between OH and CH and edge effect corrections applied to pulse neutron data. Therefore, new technique is developed and presented in this paper; it is called "HYDGO" (Hydrocarbon Density Determination for Gas and Oil). This technique utilizes several back-to-back OH and CH log data information to carefully eliminate the CH environment effect. This is done by developing multi-variable-correction model that incorporates OH bulk density, water saturation, thermal neutron porosity and invasion. This procedure has led to the development of hydrocarbon density and gas saturation determination.
Construction of Periodic Orbits and Chaos (2002)

In contrast to the main stream of studying the chaotic behavior of a given map, constructing chaotic map has attracted much less attention. In this paper, we propose simple analytical method for constructing one-dimensional continuous maps with certain specific periodic points.Further, we obtain results for the existence of chaotic phenomenon in the sense of Li and Yorke. Some examples are also analyzed using the proposed methods.

Chinese herb related molecules of cancer-cell-apoptosis: a minireview of progress between Kanglaite injection and related genes (2008)

Many kinds of Chinese herb had been confirmed to have the character of anti-tumor, clinical reports about anti-tumor effects of Chinese herb had also been found in recent years, but most of the reports were focused on the clinical treatment of effectiveness for Chinese herb, on the other hand, review about Chinese herbal related with molecules on cancer-cell-apoptosis was seldom, many scientists could not believe such kinds of clinical describes about anti-tumor effects for Chinese herb, because these describes were lack of molecular biology evidence. Kanglaite(KLT) injection is an anti-tumor new drug which extracts from Chinese medicine-coix seed with modern advanced pharmaceutical technology, it is also a new biphase extended-spectrum anticancer medicine, the food and drug administration(FDA) of United States also approved a phase II trial of KLT to test its efficacy in treating non-small-cell lung cancer. Some studies show it could inhibit some anti-apoptotic gene and activate some pro-apoptotic gene, its injection solution is one of the new anticancer medicine that can significantly inhibit a various kinds of tumor cells, so it has become the core of research that how to further explore KLT injection to promote tumor cell apoptosis by impacting on related genes. In this review, the relationship between KLT and some tumor cell apoptosis molecules had been discussed and reviewed generally.
FIFTY-NINTH REPORT OF PROGRESS IN ORTHOPEDIC SURGERY (1936)

<h3>CONGENITAL DEFORMITIES</h3><h3>New Treatment for Congenital Dislocation of the Hip.</h3> —Bauer<sup>1</sup>believes that congenital dislocation of the hip is due to an abnormal fixation of the fetus in utero. He substantiates this hypothesis by the finding of an asymmetry of the head associated with unilateral dislocations. As there has been a retardation in the development of the acetabulum and the head of the femur owing to the adduction of the legs in utero, the treatment consists of correcting and maintaining the legs in abduction in such a way that motion is still possible. A retentive apparatus is employed which is made of tape or ribbon in the following manner: (1) a pair of shoulder straps or suspenders is fastened to a circular band about the lower part of the chest and (2) ribbons are buttoned to the band; they extend posteriorly and are looped over the upper end of
Introduction to Service-Oriented Programming (2001)

model is the most exciting revolution in programming since Object Oriented Programming. Sun’s Jini ™ and Java technologies are key enablers for this new paradigm. Motorola has been refining the Service-Oriented Programming (SOP) model with its Openwings™ architecture. Together these technologies enable a new generation of service-oriented computing applications. Some of the patterns required for service-oriented computing currently are only supported in the Java programming language: these include code mobility and code security. However, this may not be the case in the future. Just as Smalltalk was the only OOP language at first, other languages may someday support the primitives needed for Service-Oriented Programming. In this paper we provide a brief description of the patterns and primitives
Inhibition of N-linked glycosylation affects organic cation transport across the brush border membrane of opossum kidney (OK) cells. (1992)

Many organic cations are transported across the apical membrane of the proximal tubule by specific saturable mechanisms. The goal of this study was to determine if the transporter for tetraethylammonium (TEA) in the brush border membrane of an established opossum kidney (OK) cell line is glycosylated and to elucidate the function of this glycosylation. The uptake of TEA was determined in OK cell monolayers treated with tunicamycin (TM), a compound that prevents synthesis of the core oligosaccharide precursor molecules. TM exposure significantly decreased the incorporation of [3H]mannose in OK cell proteins and significantly reduced TEA uptake in a time and a concentration dependent manner. No effect of TM exposure on cellular protein synthesis, DNA content, cell viability, or on [3H]proline uptake was observed. The transport of TEA in control cells was characterized by a Km of 26.9 +/- 16.4 microM and a Vmax of 378 +/- 39 pmol/mg of protein/min. TM treatment (1 microgram/ml for 21 h) significantly increased the Km by over 4-fold to 111.5 +/- 18.4 microM while not affecting the Vmax. The apparent KI values of other organic cations known to interact with this transport system were also significantly increased by TM exposure. Estimated KI values of N1-methylnicotinamide, cimetidine, and mepiperphenidol increased by 6-fold, 4-fold, and 2-fold, respectively, after exposure of OK cells to TM. An increased KI for protons was also observed. Additional inhibitors of the N-linked glycosylation pathway, castanospermine, deoxynojirimycin, and deoxymannojirimycin significantly decreased TEA transport, whereas swainsonine had no effect. Our results suggest that the organic cation transporter is glycosylated. The N-linked oligosaccharide side chain appears to be of the hybrid type, and it either directly or indirectly affects the binding site of the transporter for both organic cations and protons. This is the first report describing the importance of glycosylation in the function of the organic cation transporter in the apical membrane of OK cells.
Online Hybrid Task Scheduling in Reconfigurable Systems (2007)

This paper mainly discusses online tasks scheduling problem on hybrid CPU-FPGA reconfigurable systems. In these systems, hybrid tasks may be binary codes executed on CPU as well as hardware logic circuits implemented on FPGA. Tasks scheduling algorithms of conventional operating systems are not suitable for scheduling hybrid tasks on CPU-FPGA architecture. Based on a real reconfigurable system prototype, we present a task scheduler model and correlative algorithm for scheduling software, hardware and hybrid tasks. This algorithm combines tasks allocation, tasks placement with tasks migration. Simulation results have demonstrated this algorithm provides preferable scheduling performance and reduces the scheduling rejection rate by making use of the great flexibility of hybrid tasks.
Text-to-speech algorithms based on FFT synthesis (2003)

The authors present FFT synthesis algorithms for a French text-to-speech system based on diphone concatenation. FFT synthesis techniques are capable of producing high quality prosodic modifications of natural speech. Several approaches are presented to reduce the distortions due to diphone concatenation. They are based on appropriate manipulations of the phase spectrum, either by phase equalization across all the diphones, or by phase smoothing between successive diphones. The resulting speech is significantly better quality than with conventional LPC synthesis. An experiment to reduce the computational cost by performing all the FFTs off-line is described. The resulting speech is slightly degraded with respect to 'full' FFT synthesized speech, but it remains more natural in comparison with the LPC speech.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>
Histochemical characteristics of cervical epithelia in rabbits and cattle. (1971)

Dimethylhydrazine has been used to produce colonic tumours in mice. If sulindac, a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug, is administered simultaneously fewer microadenomata and fewer macroscopic tumours are produced. Those which do appear are comparable in size to the ones in the mice which do not receive sulindac. Sulindac therefore appears to exert an anti-tumour influence at the stage between dysplasia and the formation of microadenomata.
Infrared spectrum of oxygen in silicon (1987)

Weak absorption bands appear at 1720, 1227, and 1013 cm−1 in the infrared spectrum of Czochralski silicon. A study of the stress-induced dichroism of these features has been performed to confirm assignment of these bands to combination and overtone modes of interstitial oxygen vibrations. We show that the 1720- and 1227-cm−1 bands involve the antisymmetric stretching mode of vibration which also gives rise to the well-known interstitial oxygen band at 1106 cm−1 (the 9-μm band). Our results are inconclusive for the 1013-cm−1 line.
