[Studies on semi-synthesis of cephalotaxine esters and correlation of their structures with antitumor activity]. (1994)

Ten esters of cephalotaxine with amino acids possessing widely different structural features have been synthesized and tested for antitumor activity. Preliminary data showed that compound 6 is the most active one. However, it is still less potent than harringtonine. Other synthetic esters possess varying activities at 10 micrograms/ml. Preliminary structure activity relationship of these esters was discussed.
Integrable high voltage CMOS: Devices, process application (1985)

A high voltage (HV) CMOS process has been developed. This process allows one to easily create junction isolated HVCMOS structures on the same chip with low voltage (LV) CMOS structures. The HV structures, which are realized in a 3.5µm CMOS technology were designed for and achieved 100V operation. The process allows for the isolation of LV and HV devices and circuits. The technology is suited for applications which require the marriage of LV analog and digital signal processing and control circuitry with HV output buffers and drivers.
Interaction of staphylococcal protein A with membrane components of IgM- and/or IgD-bearing lymphocytes from human tonsil. (1980)

Abstract Human tonsil lymphocytes were examined for their ability to form rosettes with human red blood cells coated with staphylococcal protein A (SpA-HRBC). A significant proportion of cells from unseparated tonsil suspensions were able to form rosettes with SpA-HRBC. Purified T lymphocytes did not form rosettes with SpA-HRBC, whereas in T- cell-depleted suspensions the number of cells forming rosettes with SpA-HRBC was significantly greater than in unseparated populations. After depletion in cells forming rosettes with HRBC coated with anti-human γ-chain immunosorbent-purified rabbit antibodies, a noticeable proportion of B lymphocytes still showed the ability to form rosettes with SpA-HRBC. In addition, when tonsil lymphocyte suspensions were depleted in cells forming rosettes with SpA-HRBC, IgG-bearing cells were no more detectable, but the number of IgM- and of IgD-bearing lymphocytes was markedly reduced in comparison with that found in unfractionated populations. Finally, in tonsil suspensions depleted in IgM- and/or IgD-bearing lymphocytes, the number of cells forming rosettes with SpA-HRBC was significantly reduced in comparison with unfractionated populations and paralleled that of IgG-bearing lymphocytes. The SpA-reacting components present on the membrane of some B lymphocytes were sensitive to treatment with low concentrations of pronase, but other B cells maintained the ability to form rosettes with SpA-HRBC even after treatment with higher pronase concentrations. The membrane components reacting with SpA-HRBC, which were sensitive to the treatment with pronase, were reexpressed by most lymphocytes after 18 hr in culture. The incubation of tonsil lymphocytes with anti-human γ-, but also with anti-human μ- or anti-human δ-chain F(ab’)2 fragments induced a significant decrease in the number of rosettes formed by cells with SpA-HRBC. After incubation of cell suspensions with a mixture of anti-γ-, anti-μ-, and anti-δ-chain F(ab’)2 fragments, virtually no lymphocytes forming rosettes with SpA-HRBC could be found. On the other hand, SpA preincubation of lymphocytes significantly reduced the number of rosettes formed by cells with HRBC coated with either anti-human μ- or anti-human δ-chain F(ab’)2 fragments. These data suggest that SpA interacts with IgG, but also with membrane components strictly related to IgM and/or IgD, present on the surface of a noticeable proportion of B lymphocytes from human tonsil.
PT-ACTIT ; Parameter Tunable-Automatic Construction of Tree-structural Image Transformation (2004)

In image processing, selecting image processing filters to satisfy the conversion from an original image to its target image is difficult. We previously developed an image processing system, ACTIT, that constructs image processing filters to satisfy the given conversion from original to target image. ACTIT uses GP, genetic programming, and it constructs tree-structured image processing filters with pre-defined well-known filters including several, which require numerical parameters. However, optimizing both structural and parameters at the same time is difficult for conventional GP. Thus, we developed PT-ACTIT, which can optimize structural and numerical parameters simultaneously. GA, genetic algorithm, was used to optimize nuemrical parameters. Experimental results using PT-ACTIT show that we can construct a new filter that cannot be constructed using only pre-defined filters.
Pupillometer-Based Objective Chromatic Perimetry in Normal Eyes and Patients With Retinal Photoreceptor Dystrophies (2013)

This study demonstrates the potential feasibility of using pupillometer-based chromatic perimetry for objectively assessing VF defects and retinal function in patients with retinal dystrophies. (ClinicalTrials.gov number, NCT01021982.).
Abruption-Induced Preterm Delivery Is Associated with Thrombin-Mediated Functional Progesterone Withdrawal in Decidual Cells (2012)

Plasma progesterone levels remain elevated throughout human pregnancy, suggesting that reduced reproductive-tract progesterone receptor (PR) initiates labor. Placental abruption and excess thrombin generation elicit preterm delivery (PTD). PR, glucocorticoid receptor (GR), and total and p-ERK1/2 in decidual cells (DCs) and interstitial trophoblasts (IT) were assessed via immunohistochemical staining in abruption-associated PTD versus gestational-age matched control placentas, and in cultured DCs incubated with estradiol (E2) ± medroxyprogesterone acetate (MPA) ± thrombin. Immunostaining for PR was lower in DC nuclei in abruption versus control decidua and was absent from ITs; GR was higher in IT than DCs, with no abruption-related changes in either cell type; p-ERK1/2 was higher in DCs in abruption than control decidua, with total ERK 1/2 unchanged. Immunoblotting of cultured DCs demonstrated strong E2, weak MPA, and intermediate E2+MPA mediated elevation of PR-A and PR-B levels, with constitutive GR expression. In cultured DCs, thrombin inhibited PR but not GR mRNA levels, reduced PR binding to DNA and [(3)H]progesterone binding to PR, and enhanced phosphorylated but not total ERK1/2 levels. Coincubation with a specific p-ERK1/2 inhibitor reversed thrombin-enhanced p-ERK1/2 and lowered PR levels. Thus, abruption-associated PTD is initiated by functional progesterone withdrawal, as indicated by significantly reduced DC nuclear expression of PR-A and PR-B. Functional withdrawal of progesterone results in increased p-ERK1/2, and is thus one pathway initiating abruption-associated PTD.
La necesaria previsión legal de la declaración del coacusado en el acto del juicio oral (2021)

espanolLa declaracion del acusado prestada en el acto del juicio cuando incrimina a otro acusado carece de regulacion legal en Espana. La jurisprudencia del Tribunal Supremo y la doctrina del Tribunal Constitucional han ido construyendo unos criterios que no se compadecen, a nuestro juicio, ni con las previsiones legales del CEDH ni con la jurisprudencia del TEDH. Como veremos a lo largo del presente articulo, la regulacion contenida en la norma italiana supone una solucion idonea y adecuada, tanto para valorar la prueba como para garantizar los derechos reconocidos en el articulo 6 del CEDH. EnglishThe defendant’s statement during the trial when another defendant is incriminated lacks of legal regulation. The Supreme Court’s case law and the doctrine of the Constitutional Court have gradually built some criteria that do not fit, in our opinion, nor with the legal provisions of the ECHR neither with the jurisprudence of the European Court of Human Rights. As we will see throughout this paperwork, the legal provision foreseen in the Italian regulation would be an appropriate solution, both to appraise the evidence and to guarantee the rights recognized in Article 6 of the ECHR.
18.7% efficient (1-sun, AM0) large-area GaAs solar cells (1985)

AlGaAs-GaAs heteroface solar cells with areas of 4 cm2 have been fabricated by metalorganic chemical vapor deposition. One-sun, AM0 efficiencies as high as 18.7% and 18.4% have been obtained for p-n and n-p structures, respectively. Both kinds of cell structures are characterized by excellent external quantum efficiencies and their performance is close to that predicted by a realistic computer model. In agreement with the computer model, the n-p cell exhibits a higher short-circuit current density because of its thin, n-type top absorber.

The piezoelectric properties of low-temperature sintered PNN-PZT-based ceramics and their applications (1999)

Abstract 0.25Pb(Ni1/3Nb2/3)O3–0. 75Pb(Zr0.52Ti0.48)O3 (PNN-PZT) piezoceramics, doped and undoped with BiFeO3 and Ba(Cu0.5W0.5)O3 oxides, were prepared by conventional mixed-oxide technique, using sintering temperature at 850°C-950°C. Microstructural and compositional analyses of these low-temperature sintered PNN-PZT-Based ceramics have been carried out using XRD and SEM. The effects of dopants on the sintering temperature and dielectric properties of the PNN-PZT ceramics have been investigated. In this paper, we successfully showed that these additives were helpful in both the lowering of the sintering temperature and the improvement of the dielectric properties. The optimum sintering condition is also found.
Thymidylate synthase and thymidine phosphorylase gene expression as predictive parameters for the efficacy of 5-fluorouraci-based adjuvant chemotherapy for gastric cancer (2007)

Expression of TS and TP mRNA is a useful predictive parameter for the survival of postoperative gastric cancer patients after 5-fluorouracil-based adjuvant chemotherapy.
Understanding Chatbot-mediated Task Management (2018)

Effective task management is essential to successful team collaboration. While the past decade has seen considerable innovation in systems that track and manage group tasks, these innovations have typically been outside of the principal communication channels: email, instant messenger, and group chat. Teams formulate, discuss, refine, assign, and track the progress of their collaborative tasks over electronic communication channels, yet they must leave these channels to update their task-tracking tools, creating a source of friction and inefficiency. To address this problem, we explore how bots might be used to mediate task management for individuals and teams. We deploy a prototype bot to eight different teams of information workers to help them create, assign, and keep track of tasks, all within their main communication channel. We derived seven insights for the design of future bots for coordinating work.
High Time-Resolved Observation of Triboluminescence of Crystalline Sucrose (1983)

The <i>International Classification of Diseases-11th edition (ICD-11</i>) includes a dimensional model of personality disorder assessing five domains of maladaptive personality. To avoid unnecessary complexity, the <i>ICD-11</i> model includes assessment of personality traits only at the domain level. A measure exists to assess the domains of the <i>ICD-11</i> model (the Personality Inventory for <i>ICD-11),</i> yet a more rich and useful assessment of personality is provided at the facet level. We used items from the scales assessing the five-factor model of personality disorder to develop the Five-Factor Personality Inventory for <i>ICD-11</i> (FFiCD), a new 121-item, 20-facet, self-report measure of the <i>ICD-11</i> maladaptive personality domains at the facet level. Further, the FFiCD includes 47 short scales organized beneath the facets-at the "nuance" level. Items were selected and evaluated empirically across two independent data collections, and the resulting scales were further validated in a third data collection. Correlational and factor analytic results comparing the scales of the FFiCD to the five-factor model, Personality Inventory for <i>ICD-11,</i> and Personality Inventory for <i>DSM-5</i> supported the validity of the theoretical structure of the FFiCD and the <i>ICD-11</i> model. The FFiCD may be a useful instrument for clinicians and researchers interested in a more specific assessment of maladaptive personality according to the dimensional <i>ICD-11</i> personality disorder model.

Information Flow and Cooperative Control of Vehicle Formations (2004)

We consider the problem of cooperation among a collection of vehicles performing a shared task using intervehicle communication to coordinate their actions. Tools from algebraic graph theory prove useful in modeling the communication network and relating its topology to formation stability. We prove a Nyquist criterion that uses the eigenvalues of the graph Laplacian matrix to determine the effect of the communication topology on formation stability. We also propose a method for decentralized information exchange between vehicles. This approach realizes a dynamical system that supplies each vehicle with a common reference to be used for cooperative motion. We prove a separation principle that decomposes formation stability into two components: Stability of this is achieved information flow for the given graph and stability of an individual vehicle for the given controller. The information flow can thus be rendered highly robust to changes in the graph, enabling tight formation control despite limitations in intervehicle communication capability.
Controlled Release Tacrine Delivery System for the Treatment of Alzheimer's Disease (2001)

Alzheimer's disease is a neurodegenerative condition that affects approximately 5 million people and is the fourth leading cause of death in America. Tacrine is one of the three drugs approved by the FDA for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease. However, the drug has a short biologic half-life of 2-3 hr and gastrointestinal, cholinergic, and hepatic adverse reactions that are associated with high doses of the drug. The aim of our study was to formulate a controlled release delivery system of tacrine that could be used to minimize the side effects associated with the drug. Microparticles of tacrine were formulated using poly(D,L-lactide-co-glycolide) (PLG). PLG and tacrine were dissolved in mixed organic solvents and added to a polyvinyl alcohol solution that was stirred at a constant rate. The organic solvent was evaporated overnight and the formed microparticles were collected by filtration, dried, and sieve-sized. The effects of such formulation variables, as molecular weight of polymer, stir speed during preparation, and drug loading on encapsulation efficiency (EEF), and in vitro release profiles of tacrine were investigated. An increase in the molecular weight of polymer from 8,000 to 59,000 and 155,000 resulted in approximately 10-fold increase in EEF, but the rate of release decreased with increasing molecular weight. Stir speed during preparation had an effect on the EEF but not on the rate of release. Drug loading did not have a significant effect on the EEF but had an effect on the rate of tacrine release. The results suggest that tacrine could be delivered at controlled levels for weeks for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease.
Does the Potassium Stimulation Test Predict Cystometric, Cystoscopic Outcome in Interstitial Cystitis? (2002)

Evaluación patrimonial de los afloramientos de "Ofitas" con estructuras en m in i-pillow de Cerro Pelado (Granada): nuevo indicio de vulcanismo triásico y metamorfismo alpino de las Zonas Externas Béticas (2004)

A new ophite outcrop located at the boundary between the external and internal zones of the Betic 
Cordillera is described', with special reference to petrological and geochemical features. The outcrop belongs to the Triassic of Antequera and is currently being exploited for ballast material, despite some special geological values and peculiarities, which should demand its preservation: a) 
Mini-pillow structures which are not found elsewhere in any other ophite outcrop of the Betic 
external zones. The unequivocal volcanic nature of these structures has allowed dating the beginning of magmatism in the Betic external zones as Triassic in age instead of Jurassic, as had been generally accepted so far on the basis of the supposed intrusive character of all the ophite bodies; 
b) The higher metamorphism grade identified in this outcrop, compared to those located further 
from the boundary between the external and internal Betic zones: As remarked here, the Alpine 
metamorphism reaches greenschist facies conditions in the Cerro Pelado ophites, whilst only pumpellyite-actinolite facies conditions have been recognized at the metamorphic climax in other ophite outcrops studied to date in this region. This corroborates the idea that the Triassic of Antequera was probably subdued beneath the internal zones during one of the compressive stages of the Alpine orogeny
Biodegradability and mechanical properties of agro‐flour–filled polybutylene succinate biocomposites (2005)

Abstract The objective of this study was the production of rice husk flour (RHF) and wood flour (WF) filled polybutylene succinate (PBS) biocomposites as alternatives to cellulosic material filled conventional plastic (polyolefins) composites. PBS is one of the biodegradable polymers, made from the condensation reaction of 1,4‐butanediol and succinic acid that can be naturally degraded in the natural environment. We compared the mechanical properties between conventional plastics and agro‐flour–filled PBS biocomposites. We evaluated the biodegradability and mechanical properties of agro‐flour–filled PBS biocomposites according to the content and filler particle size of agro‐flour. As the agro‐flour loading was increased, the tensile and impact strength of the biocomposites decreased. As the filler particle size decreased, the tensile strength of the biocomposites increased but the impact strength decreased. The addition of agro‐flour to PBS produced a more rapid decrease in the tensile strength, notched Izod impact strength, and percentage weight loss of the biocomposites during the natural soil burial test. These results support the application of biocomposites as environmentally friendly materials. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci 97: 1513–1521, 2005
CYTOKINE PATTERN DURING REJECTION AND INFECTION AFTER LIVER TRANSPLANTATION-IMPROVEMENTS IN POSTOPERATIVE MONITORING? (1996)

Despite improvements in immunosuppression, rejection occurs in 50% of liver transplant patients and may cause significant morbidity. The most frequent cause of death after liver transplantation is severe infection. Determination of the cytokine network may lead to earlier detection of patients at risk for severe rejection and infection. For this purpose, 81 patients with 85 liver transplants were monitored for cytokines and neopterin on a daily basis. During the first postoperative month, 28 patients (34.6%) developed acute rejection; 14 patients were successfully treated with methylprednisolone (steroid-sensitive rejection), while 14 patients required additional treatment with FK506 and OKT3 (steroid-resistant rejection). Ten patients developed severe infections, and 11 patients experienced asymptomatic cholangitis. Patients with an uneventful postoperative course (n=37) were the control group. One-year patient survival was 88.9%: 1 patient died because of chronic rejection and Pseudomonas urosepsis; a further 4 patients died of aspergillus pneumonia and bacterial sepsis. Soluble TNF-RII, sIL-2R-, and IL-10 levels were significantly elevated 3 days prior to or at the onset of acute steroid-resistant rejection (P < or = 0.01 versus steroid-sensitive rejection and on uneventful postoperative course). An increase in IL-8, neopterin, and sTNF-RII was indicative of severe infection 3 days prior to onset of infection. In this group of patients, a simultaneous increase in IL-10 indicated a lethal outcome of severe infection. During the second week of acute steroid-resistant rejection and lethal infection, a significant rise in IL-1beta, IFN-gamma, and IL-6 was observed (P < or = 0.01 versus control groups). The different patterns in neopterin- and cytokine-increase could differentiate between severe rejection and severe infection. Furthermore, the increase in these parameters indicated severe rejection--i.e., steroid resistance at the onset of acute rejection--which could prompt us to initiate rescue therapy immediately. The ability to detect patients at risk for severe or lethal infection may result in intensified infectious screening and more aggressive antiinfectious treatment. Therefore, routine monitoring of these parameters may lead to changes in therapeutic management of severe acute rejection and infection after liver transplantation.
Communication control in modern aircraft (1974)

Modern aircraft contain a large amount of communication equipment of varied type. The original radiotelephone and 'intercom' systems have been added to by the inclusion of priority audio signals, which are used as warnings. To control these efficiently, a communication control system that will perform all the necessary switching and interfacing to provide a fully integrated system is required.
