Cockroach Infestation in Some Hospitals in Trabzon, Turkey (2003)

The distribution and abundance of cockroaches were investigated in six hospitals in Trabzon. A total of 4756 (692 females, 652 males and 3412 nymphs) cockroaches were caught between 1st October 1999 and 30th January 2000. It was found that three cockroach species were present in hospitals. Of these, Blattella germanica was the predominant species with 98.25%, followed by Blatta orientalis (1.12%) and Periplaneta americana (0.63%). Although the German cockroach, Blattella germanica, was found in all areas of the hospitals, Blatta orientalis and Periplaneta americana were only caught in kitchens. When comparing the population density of German cockroaches in different places chosen for this study, it was clear that the number of this cockroach per 10 m2 (102.23) and infestation rate (83.61%) were higher in kitchens than in other places. It was seen that the population density of this species in kitchens is significantly different from that in other places (one-way ANOVA: F = 54.17, P &amp;lt; 0.01). Although several stages of B. germanica were observed in hospitals, nymphs showed the highest infestation rates (62.50-86.89%). Most of the nymphs were immature (67.28-88.26%). The infestation rate of immature nymphs was higher (88.26%) in kitchens than in other places, namely the patient rooms (67.28%), nurse rooms (76.34%) and doctor rooms (80.04%). In addition, some ecological parameters, such as humidity and temperature, were measured in the places studied to examine the relationship between the population density of B. germanica and these parameters. There seemed to be a very significant correlation between humidity and the population density of German cockroaches (R = 0.65, P &amp;lt; 0.01), but not for temperature (R = -0.2, P &amp;gt; 0.01). In conclusion, the population density of B. germanica increased over 45% humidity, but did not at lower humidity levels (39-45%).
A source with ion extraction from the plasma volume (2000)

The physical basis of an effective new variant of ion source with extraction of ions from the plasma volume, operating in a longitudinal magnetic field developed at the Kurchatov Institute, is described. A thin layer with an electric field is produced in the plasma column of the source without violation of plasma quasineutrality, in order to transport all types of charged particles across the magnetic field toward the extraction slit. This allows high plasma flows to be transported toward the extraction slit with low potential difference ΔU across the layer, and the ion current density in the extracted ion beam can be increased by up to 10–15 times. The induced plasma flow also increases significantly the content of multicharged ions in the beam. A strong dependence of the ion beam current intensity on the potential across the layer provides a means for pulsed modulating or stabilizing the current intensity at the target by special programming or feedback in an inertia-free manner, without changes in the discharge conditions. The ion source operates with various species—gas or sputter materials. An ion current density of 1.5 A/cm2 was measured in our experiments at ΔU=10 V. The source can be used for accelerators, in semiconductor technology, and for other applications.

A tuberculose nos primeiros anos do século XXI (2006)

Diante das novas diretrizes editoriais da Revista HUPE, com a publicacao de numeros monotematicos visando a atualizacao de doencas e topicos importantes de interesse geral para os medicos, apresentamos este state of the art sobre tuberculose. Com efeito, estamos diante de uma doenca muito importante no Brasil, em termos de sua incidencia e de amplo alcance social. Costuma-se ouvir que “a tuberculose esta voltando”. Na realidade, esta e uma meia-verdade e e um conceito propalado pelos momentos de exaltacao da midia, escandalizada pela descoberta de bolsoes de miseria. Para voltar, a tuberculose precisaria antes ter desaparecido e, no Brasil, como em muitos outros lugares do mundo, ela nunca foi embora. Ha muitas decadas, esperamos sua partida, mas esse fato reluta em acontecer, mesmo com todos os progressos feitos em Microbiologia, metodos de imagem, diagnostico por tecnicas moleculares, tecnicas de DNA e terapeutica.

An 8-channel 6-bit 16-GS/s time-interleaved ADC was fabricated using a 65nm CMOS technology. Each A/D channel is a flash ADC using latch-type comparator with background offset calibration. Timing skews among the channels are also continuously calibrated in the background. The chip achieves 42.3dB SFDR and 30.8dB SNDR at 16 GS/s sampling rate.
Purification and characterization of benzoate-coenzyme A ligase and 2-aminobenzoate-coenzyme A ligases from a denitrifying Pseudomonas sp (1991)

The enzymes catalyzing the formation of coenzyme A (CoA) thioesters of benzoate and 2-aminobenzoate were studied in a denitrifying Pseudomonas sp. anaerobically grown with these aromatic acids and nitrate as sole carbon and energy sources. Three different rather specific aromatic acyl-CoA ligases, E1, E2, and E3, were found which catalyze the formation of CoA thioesters of benzoate, fluorobenzoates, and 2-aminobenzoate. ATP is cleaved into AMP and pyrophosphate. The enzymes were purified, their N-terminal amino acid sequences were determined, and their catalytic and molecular properties were studied. Cells anaerobically grown on benzoate and nitrate contain one CoA ligase (AMP forming) for benzoic acid (E1). It is a homodimer of Mr 120,000 which prefers benzoate as a substrate but shows some activity also with 2-aminobenzoate and fluorobenzoates, although with lower Km. Cells anaerobically grown on 2-aminobenzoate and nitrate contain three different CoA ligases for aromatic acids. The first one is identical with benzoate-CoA ligase (E1). The second enzyme is a 2-aminobenzoate-CoA ligase (E2). It is a monomer of Mr 60,000 which prefers 2-aminobenzoate but also activates benzoate, fluorobenzoates and, less effectively, 2-methylbenzoate, with lower affinities to the latter substrates. The enzymes E1 and E2 have similar activity levels; a third minor CoA ligase activity is due to a different 2-aminobenzoate-CoA ligase. The enzyme (E3) is a monomer of Mr, 65,000 which 2-aminobenzoate pathway (U. Altenschmidt, C. Eckerskorn, and G. Fuchs, Eur. J. Biochem. 194:647-653, 1990); apparently, it is not completely repressed under anaerobic conditions and therefore also is induced to a small extent by 2-aminobenzoate under anaerobic growth conditions.
Fabrication and characterization of HTS antennas for satellite communication and security system (2002)

We have examined the HTS receiving patch and patch array antennas for satellite broadcast and microwave security system. The HTS antennas were made by YBCO films prepared by plasma coupled sputtering system. The gain of the HTS patch antenna was approximately 3 dB higher than that of the copper patch antenna with the same geometry. We have constructed the mini-cryocooler cooling system for the HTS antennas. The directivity was not affected by the cooling system.
CD24 Ala57Val gene polymorphism and the risk of systemic lupus erythematosus (2010)

It was recently shown that the CD24 Ala57Val (rs 52812045) polymorphism plays a significant role in susceptibility to systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) in a Spanish population, which has not been confirmed in other ethnic groups. We investigated the distribution of the CD24 Ala57Val polymorphism in patients with SLE (n = 250) and controls (n = 350) in Poland. The odds ratio (OR) for patients with SLE with the Ala/Val genotype compared with Ala/Ala genotype was 1.490 [95% confidence interval (CI) = 1.052-2.111, P = 0.0275], and OR for the Val/Val genotype compared with Ala/Ala genotypes was 2.001 (95% CI = 1.154-3.467, P = 0.0154). Moreover, we observed a significant association between the CD24 Val allele and the presence of anti-Scl-70 antibody (Ab) OR = 2.155 (1.438-3.229, P = 0.0002). There was also an association of Val allele with the presence of anti-snRNP Ab OR = 1.984 (1.266-3.110, P = 0.0034) in patients with SLE. We also found that the CD24 Val/Val and Ala/Val genotypes contribute to immunologic manifestations OR = 2.244 (1.323-3.806, P = 0.0037). Our observations indicate that the CD24 Ala57Val polymorphism may predispose to SLE incidence and can be linked to immunologic manifestations and production of autoantibodies in this disease.
X-ray powder spectroscopy to determine easy axis in colloidal magnetic particles (1987)

Non-interacting suspended colloidal single-domain magnetic particles can be expected to acquire a preferred orientation in a magnetic field. Their direction is determined by the easy magnetization axes of the particle and the applied field to a degree determined by the Langevin equation governing paramagnetic phenomena. The magnitudes of resulting changes in powder line intensities have been calculated and found to be of the order of 5 to 25% for ferrite particles near the critical size (where anisotropy energy ≥ kT ), the larger for larger particles. The pattern of line intensity changes allows one to distinguish between (1,0,0) and (1,1,1) easy axes.

Absorption of bile salts from the small intestine in vivo (1962)

The absorption of bile salts from the small intestine of the guinea pig was studied in vivo by determining the biliary excretion of bile salts injected into isolated regions of the small bowel Taurocholate, glycocholate, and cholate appeared in bile in significant amounts only when they were introduced into the distal part of the small intestine (ileum), indicating that there is little, if any, absorption by diffusion through the proximal mucosa. Allowing animals to eat a relatively high fat diet before the experiments did not alter the pattern of intestinal absorption of bile salts. The results confirm previous in vitro studies on the active transport of bile salts by the ileum.
Diode-Laser Absorption Spectroscopy of Supersonic Carbon Cluster Beams: the ν <sub>3</sub> Spectrum of C <sub>5</sub> (1989)

A new spectroscopic experiment has been developed in which rovibrational transitions of supersonically cooled carbon clusters, which were produced by laser vaporization of graphite, have been measured by direct-absorption diode-laser spectroscopy. Thirty-six sequential rovibrational lines of the ν 3 band of the C 5 carbon cluster have been measured with Doppler-limited resolution. The absorption spectrum is characteristic of a linear molecule with a center of symmetry. Least-squares analysis of the spectrum indicates an effective carbon-carbon bond length of 1.283 angstroms, in good agreement with ab initio quantum chemical calculations. This work confirms the detection of C 5 in IRC + 10216 reported in the accompanying paper.
Speaker adaptation and voice conversion by codebook mapping (1991)

The authors summarize a speaker adaptation algorithm based on codebook mapping from one speaker to a standard speaker. This algorithm has been developed to be useful in various kinds of speech recognition systems such as hidden-Markov-model-based, feature-based, and neural-network-based systems. The codebook mapping speaker adaptation algorithm has been much improved by introducing several ideas based on fuzzy vector quantization. This fuzzy codebook mapping algorithm is also applicable to voice conversion between arbitrary speakers.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>
Unitary recordings of near threshold responses of receptor cells in the olfactory mucosa of the frog. (1978)

1. Receptor cell activity in the frog's eminentia olfactoria was recorded using metal-filled micro-electrodes. 2. Several units discharged spontaneously with a mean frequency lower than 0.2 spikes per sec, or were silent in periods of up to 5 min. The other units displayed spontaneous activities between 0.2 and 1.05 spikes per sec; their activity could be modelled with a Poisson process. 3. Near-threshold responses to odour stimulation were investigated, considering several stimulations within a small concentration range. Low concentration stimulations were sometimes followed by a response, sometimes not. The concept of response probability is introduced to describe this incertitude. 4. The distribution of the number of spikes in several odour trials at low concentrations showed a reasonable agreement with two types of Poisson distribution. 5. The findings are discussed in connexion with receptor cell sensitivity and the excitation of second order neurones in the bulb.
Cream of the Crop: Distilling Prioritized Paths For One-Shot Neural Architecture Search (2020)

One-shot weight sharing methods have recently drawn great attention in neural architecture search due to high efficiency and competitive performance. However, weight sharing across models has an inherent deficiency, i.e., insufficient training of subnetworks in hypernetworks. To alleviate this problem, we present a simple yet effective architecture distillation method. The central idea is that subnetworks can learn collaboratively and teach each other throughout the training process, aiming to boost the convergence of individual models. We introduce the concept of prioritized path, which refers to the architecture candidates exhibiting superior performance during training. Distilling knowledge from the prioritized paths is able to boost the training of subnetworks. Since the prioritized paths are changed on the fly depending on their performance and complexity, the final obtained paths are the cream of the crop. We directly select the most promising one from the prioritized paths as the final architecture, without using other complex search methods, such as reinforcement learning or evolution algorithms. The experiments on ImageNet verify such path distillation method can improve the convergence ratio and performance of the hypernetwork, as well as boosting the training of subnetworks. The discovered architectures achieve superior performance compared to the recent MobileNetV3 and EfficientNet families under aligned settings. Moreover, the experiments on object detection and more challenging search space show the generality and robustness of the proposed method.

Video-analysis for the assessment of practical skill (2016)

To review the literature on the application of video review and analytics on surgical education and quality improvement. Analysis of past performance is a mandatory component in many industries, yet the idea is in its infancy in surgical assessment. Evaluation of surgical skill, both technical and non-technical, is possible through video analysis methods. Adverse outcomes in surgery are related in part to errors committed by the surgical team, and review of intraoperative footage allows for detailed analysis and improvement of skills and systems that contribute to patient safety. In this article we review the literature pertaining to post hoc assessment of surgical performance, including technical skill and error, and non-technical skill and surgical coaching. We describe our group’s novel ‘OR blackbox’ method of detailed video analysis, and how we synthesize multiple metrics of performance collected through audiovisual pathways into compartmentalized, usable data. Qualitative and Quantitative video analysis has been applied to multiple fields of surgery. Tools for assessment of metrics across the spectrum of intraoperative factors exist and their validity and reliability is supported in the literature. Emerging evidence supports the use of retrospective evaluation of surgical technique in ensuring optimal outcomes for patients. Educators are using video analysis to identify aspects of surgical procedures to target for deliberate practice, and the role of coaching in surgery is greatly enhanced with review of cases. Identification of crucial events related to safety and surgical skill are not always identifiable in real time. Video analysis allows surgeons and educators to assess intraoperative factors that influence the patient’s surgical outcomes and safety. Assessment of technical skill, non-technical skill, and surgical error are possible through comprehensive video recording and analysis techniques.
Predictive Deep Boltzmann Machine for Multiperiod Wind Speed Forecasting (2015)

It is important to forecast the wind speed for managing operations in wind power plants. However, wind speed prediction is extremely complex and difficult due to the volatility and deviation of the wind. As existing forecasting methods directly model the raw wind speed data, it is difficult for them to provide higher inference accuracy. Differently, this paper presents a sophisticated deep-learning technique for short-term and long-term wind speed forecast, i.e., the predictive deep Boltzmann machine (PDBM) and corresponding learning algorithm. The proposed deep model forecasts wind speed by analyzing the higher level features abstracted from lower level features of the wind speed data. These automatically learnt features are very informative and appropriate for the prediction. The proposed PDBM is a deep stochastic model that can represent the wind speed very well, and is inspired by two aspects. 1) The stochastic model is suitable to capture the probabilistic characteristics of wind speed. 2) Recent developments in neural networks with deep architectures show that deep generative models have competitive capability to approximate nonlinear and nonsmooth functions. The evaluation of the proposed PDBM model is depicted by both hour-ahead and day-ahead prediction experiments based on real wind speed datasets. The prediction accuracy of the PDBM model outperforms existing methods by more than 10%.

Future User Engagement Prediction and Its Application to Improve the Sensitivity of Online Experiments (2015)

Modern Internet companies improve their services by means of data-driven decisions that are based on online controlled experiments (also known as A/B tests). To run more online controlled experiments and to get statistically significant results faster are the emerging needs for these companies. The main way to achieve these goals is to improve the sensitivity of A/B experiments. We propose a novel approach to improve the sensitivity of user engagement metrics (that are widely used in A/B tests) by utilizing prediction of the future behavior of an individual user. This problem of prediction of the exact value of a user engagement metric is also novel and is studied in our work. We demonstrate the effectiveness of our sensitivity improvement approach on several real online experiments run at Yandex. Especially, we show how it can be used to detect the treatment effect of an A/B test faster with the same level of statistical significance.
