On the Applicability of the Surface Impedance Integral Equation for Optical and Near Infrared Copper Dipole Antennas (2006)

The applicability of the surface impedance integral equation (SI-IE) method for the analysis of optical and near-infrared copper dipole antennas is assessed, and some issues relative to resonant half-wavelength optical dipoles are highlighted. Since at these frequencies the conductivity of copper (and of all metals) is relatively small, the appropriateness of using the standard integral equation method for imperfectly conducting wires, based on a surface impedance boundary condition, needs to be examined. Here it is found that the SI-IE method yields accurate results in the near-infrared regime, and for suitably small wire radius values at low optical frequencies. For the middle and upper optical frequencies the approximate SI-IE is not generally valid. Some results are presented for a half-wave dipole resonant in the upper near-infrared/low optical range, and a discussion of the trade-off between maintaining good polarization selectivity and radiation efficiency is provided
The use of touch‐sensitive screen in interactive morphometry (1984)

We propose the use of a touch-sensitive screen as a tool to facilitate acquisition of data both in point counting and morphometric planimetry. It obviates the use of a 'correspondence image' required with many planimetric devices in which the means for data acquisition and display are separate. The touch-sensitive screen offers operational advantages over the light pen. The characteristics of this new graphical input device, its assembly and basic operational considerations are introduced and discussed.
Fettunterdrückende STIR-Sequenzen mit und ohne Kontrastmittel bei der MRT von HNO-Tumoren (1994)

Fat-suppressed STIR (short TI inversion recovery) sequences were compared to plain and contrast-enhanced T1-weighted SE sequences of head and neck tumors. 19 patients underwent MR imaging on a 0.5 Telsa system (T5-II, Philips). STIR imaging parameters: TR/TE = 1000/20 ms, inversion pulse 100 ms. All films were read by four radiologists. The image quality was graded: score from 0 to 5, by means that grade 5 = optimal quality. Sensitivity was 89% in STIR, 96% in SE sequences. Tumor delineation was graded good in the enhanced T1-weighted and enhanced fat suppression images. The unenhanced imaging was superior in STIR (STIR/T1 = 2.8/2.43). The tumor contrast was best in contrast enhanced and plain STIR sequences (STIR contrast = 3.41), and in the contrast enhanced T1-weighted SE (3.33). STIR almost equaled T1 post-contrast in respect of tumour conspicuity, but the sensitivity was lower. STIR can be a supplement to SE, but cannot substitute T1 postcontrast. The combined use is expected to have the highest assessment value.
Zur Subjektivierung von Arbeit (1999)

In Diskursen um die künftige Entwicklung von Erwerbsarbeit wird verschiedentlich betont, daß individuellen Handlungen und Deutungen der Subjekte im Arbeitsprozeß eine zunehmende Bedeutung zukomme. Diese Entwicklung fassen wir begrifflich als "Subjektivierung von Arbeit" im Sinne eines Wechselverhältnisses zwischen einzelnem Subjekt und Arbeit: Die Individuen tragen mehr "Subjektives" in die Arbeit hinein und/oder die Arbeit fordert immer mehr "Subjektives" von den Individuen. Ziel dieses Papers ist es, mit einer Sichtung verschiedener soziologischer Forschungsbereiche zentrale Merkmale einer solchen "Subjektivierung" herauszuarbeiten, um sie anschließend nach einer weiteren Begriffspräzisierung einer kritischen Bewertung zu unterziehen, die Schlußfolgerungen über die veränderte Qualität des Wechselverhältnisses von arbeitender Person und Arbeitswelt und diesbezügliche gesellschaftliche Auswirkungen ermöglichen soll.

A Chiral Total Synthesis of (−)-Physostigmine (1991)

Cytokine and growth factor immunohistochemical spinal profiles in two animal models of mononeuropathy (1997)

Nerve injury leads to central neuroimmunologic responses that may be integral to the development and maintenance of chronic neuropathic pain in humans. Recent data have demonstrated that cytokines and growth factors may be strongly implicated in the generation of pain states at both peripheral and central nervous system sites. We utilized immunohistochemical methods to investigate this phenomenon in rat models of neuropathic pain. Specifically, we employed well-characterized models of neuropathy that result in behaviors suggestive of neuropathic pain in humans; a freeze lesion of the sciatic nerve, termed sciatic cryoneurolysis, and a chronic constriction sciatic nerve injury. We used immunohistochemistry to examine spinal localization of the cytokines, interleukin-1beta (IL-1beta), tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) and the growth factors, basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF), and transforming growth factor-beta1 (TGF-beta) at 3, 14, and 35 days following sciatic cryoneurolysis or 6 days following chronic constriction injury as compared with normal, unoperated rats. There was minimal, diffuse cytokine/growth factor staining in lumbar spinal tissue from the normal group. However, cell profile quantification demonstrated increases in lumbar spinal IL-1beta-, TNF-alpha- and TGF-beta-like immunoreactivity (LI) in both mononeuropathy models studied. At 3 days following sciatic cryoneurolysis, intense bFGF LI was present in the ipsilateral dorsal and ventral horn. By 14 days bFGF LI was also observed in contralateral dorsal and ventral horns. In contrast, we found no obvious staining differences in lumbar spinal cord following the chronic constriction injury. This study demonstrated increased specific cytokine and growth factor-like expression in the spinal cord following peripheral nerve injuries. It also showed a differential expression of bFGF in two distinct mononeuropathy models. These results provide further evidence that central cytokine production via a neuroimmune cascade may be involved in the development and maintenance of behaviors that mimic neuropathic pain following nerve injury.
NoSQL Systems for Big Data Management (2014)

The advent of Big Data created a need for out-of-the-box horizontal scalability for data management systems. This ushered in an array of choices for Big Data management under the umbrella term NoSQL. In this paper, we provide a taxonomy and unified perspective on NoSQL systems. Using this perspective, we compare and contrast various NoSQL systems using multiple facets including system architecture, data model, query language, client API, scalability, and availability. We group current NoSQL systems into seven broad categories: Key-Value, Table-type/Column, Document, Graph, Native XML, Native Object, and Hybrid databases. We also describe application scenarios for each category to help the reader in choosing an appropriate NoSQL system for a given application. We conclude the paper by indicating future research directions.
Sporadic Bilateral Optic Neuropathy in Children: The Role of Mitochondrial Abnormalities (2008)

A minority of these young patients with sporadic bilateral optic neuropathy had abnormalities of the mitochondrial parameters evaluated. This bilateral optic neuropathy may be due to other genetic, epigenetic, or environmental injury to the optic nerve or to mitochondrial defects not studied.

Diminution of T cells with γδ receptor in the peripheral blood of allergic asthmatic individuals (1996)

It was concluded that no significant correlation existed between the levels between gamma delta T cells and eosinophils or between gamma delta T cells and IgE present in the peripheral blood. This report, for the first time, documents that allergic asthmatics have reduced gamma delta T cells with reciprocally elevated eosinophil numbers in their peripheral circulation. However, it does not indicate that the reduction of gamma delta T cells directly correlates with the predominance of eosinophils of IgE levels in the diseased populations. The pathophysiological role of gamma delta T cells in allergic diseases awaits further exploration.
Adenylylsulphate reductase from the sulphate-reducing archaeon Archaeoglobus fulgidus: cloning and characterization of the genes and comparison of the enzyme with other iron-sulphur flavoproteins (1994)

Adenylylsulphate (adenosine-5'-phosphosulphate, APS) reductase from the extremely thermophilic sulphate-reducing archaeon Archaeoglobus fulgidus is an iron-sulphur flavoprotein containing one non-covalently bound flavin group, eight non-haem iron and six labile sulphide atoms per molecule. Reevaluation of the enzyme structure revealed the presence of two different subunits with molecular masses of 80 and 18.5 kDa. The subunits are arranged in an alpha 2 beta subunit structure. We have cloned and sequenced a 2.7 kb segment of DNA containing the genes for the alpha and beta subunits, which we designate aprA and aprB, respectively. The two genes are separated by 17 bp and localized in the order aprBA. While a putative promoter could not be identified in the vicinity of aprBA a probable termination signal was found just downstream of the translation stop codon of aprA. The codon usage for aprBA shows strong preferences for G and C in the third codon position. aprA encodes a 73.3 kDa polypeptide, which shows significant overall similarities with the flavoprotein subunits of the succinate dehydrogenases from Escherichia coli and Bacillus subtilis and the corresponding flavoprotein of E. coli fumarate reductase. Part of the homologous peptide stretches could be assigned to domains that are involved in the binding of the substrate or of the FAD prosthetic group. aprB encodes a 17.1 kDa polypeptide representing an iron-sulphur protein, seven cysteine residues of which are arranged in two clusters typical of ligands of the iron-sulphur centres in ([Fe3S4][Fe4S4]) 7-Fe ferredoxins.
Sensitivity‐variable moire´ topography with a phase shift method (1996)

We propose a projection moire´ topography with a phase shift method for measuring the fine profile of an object. In this method, a set of interference fringes made using a Mach-Zehnder interferometer and a dove prism is projected on an object surface to generate moire´ fringes. The interval between the moire´ fringes can be easily changed in a range of 160 to 300 µm and we can realize sensitivity-variable moire´ contouring. Also, the phases of the moire´ -fringe pattern are easily changed by shifting one of the interference fringe patterns and the depth at each point on the object are computed with a high accuracy from the several moire´ -fringe patterns with different phases. Although the interferometer is used in the system, the setup is robust against vibrations.
Fabrication and Chromatographic Performance of Porous-Shell Pillar-Array Columns (2010)

We report on a new approach to obtain highly homogeneous silica-monolithic columns, applying a sol-gel fabrication process inside a rectangular pillar-array column (1 mm in width, 29 microm in height and 33.75 mm in length) having a cross-sectional area comparable to that of a 200 microm diameter circular capillary. Starting from a silicon-based pillar array and working under high phase-separation-tendency conditions (low poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG)-concentration), highly regular silica-based chromatographic systems with an external porosity in the order of 66-68% were obtained. The pillars, 2.4 microm in diameter, were typically clad with a 0.5 microm shell layer of silica, thus creating a 3.4 microm total outer pillar diameter and leaving a minimal through-pore size of 2.2 microm. After mesopore creation by hydrothermal treatment and column derivatization with octyldimethylchlorosilane, the monolithic column was used for chip-based liquid-chromatographic separations of coumarin dyes. Minimal plate heights ranging between 3.9 microm (nonretaining conditions) and 6 mum (for a retention factor of 6.5) were obtained, corresponding to domain-size-reduced plate heights ranging between 0.7 and 1.2. The column permeability was in the order of 1.3 x 10(13) m(2), lower than theoretically expected, but this is probably due to obstructions induced by the sol-gel process in the supply channels.
Reverse‐Engineering Visualizations: Recovering Visual Encodings from Chart Images (2017)

Abstract We investigate how to automatically recover visual encodings from a chart image, primarily using inferred text elements. We contribute an end‐to‐end pipeline which takes a bitmap image as input and returns a visual encoding specification as output. We present a text analysis pipeline which detects text elements in a chart, classifies their role (e.g., chart title, x‐axis label, y‐axis title, etc.), and recovers the text content using optical character recognition. We also train a Convolutional Neural Network for mark type classification. Using the identified text elements and graphical mark type, we can then infer the encoding specification of an input chart image. We evaluate our techniques on three chart corpora: a set of automatically labeled charts generated using Vega, charts from the Quartz news website, and charts extracted from academic papers. We demonstrate accurate automatic inference of text elements, mark types, and chart specifications across a variety of input chart types.
Strain-Tunable One Dimensional Photonic Crystals Based on Zirconium Dioxide/Slide-Ring Elastomer Nanocomposites for Mechanochromic Sensing (2015)

We demonstrate the fabrication and performance of tunable, elastic organic/inorganic composite one-dimensional photonic crystals (1DPCs) in the visible spectrum. By controlling the composition of high refractive index metal oxide nanoparticle/polymer composites, a refractive index difference of 0.18 between the filled and unfilled polymer layers can be achieved while maintaining desirable flexibility and elasticity. This index contrast is achieved with a loading of 70 wt % zirconium dioxide nanoparticles within a slide-ring elastomer matrix, which is composed of topologically cross-linked polyrotaxane polyols. The large refractive index contrast enables high reflectivity while simultaneously minimizing the number of layers necessary, compared to purely polymer systems. Because the films are both flexible and elastic, these nanocomposite 1DPCs can function as colorimetric strain sensors. We demonstrate the sensing behavior of these 1DPCs by applying over 40% strain, resulting in a visible color shift across the visible spectrum from red to blue. 1DPCs of just 6 periods maintain reflectance of 40% throughout the visible spectrum, with a tensile mechanochromic sensitivity (Δλ/Δεmax) as high as -6.05 nm/%.
Caplain inhibitor and α-lipoic acid used alone or in combination for cancer cachexia (2013)

Objective To study the treatment effects by using calpain inhibitor N-acetyl-Leu-LeuNorleucinal (ALLN) and α-lipoic acid (α-LA) alone or in combination for mice with cancer cachexia and the possible mechanism.Methods Murine colon 26 adenocarcinoma cells were inoculated subcutaneously into the anterior subaxilla of Balb/c mice to establish cachexia modcl.Tumor-free body weight and wet weight of gastrocnemius were measured,and the levels of serum biochemistry parameters,cytokines,malondialdehyde (MAD),superoxide dismutase (SOD),nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB),caplain-1 and ubiquitin mRNA in skeletal muscle were detected at 7th day after intervention.Results The absorbance (A)ratio of calpain-1 and ubiquitin mRNA in tumor-bearing control group was 0.84 ± 0.10 and 2.68 ± 0.08,that of calpain-1 in ALLN group,α-LA group and ALLN + α-LA group was 0.59 ± 0.07,0.65 ± 0.07 and 0.57 ± 0.04,and that of ubiquitin mRNA in ALLN group,α-LA group and ALLN + α-LA group was 2.29 ± 0.07,2.34 ± 0.05 and 2.20 ± 0.10,respectively.The A ratio of calpain-I and ubiquitin mRNA in ALLN group,α-LA group and ALLN + α-LA group was lower than in control group (P ＜ 0.05 for all).Other indicators were ameliorated to some extent after intervention (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion Both calpain inhibitor and α-lipoic acid can ameliorate cancer cachexia,and the combined use of them exerts a synergetic effect.

Semi-automatic, semantic discovery of properties from database schemes (2002)

An important tool for the integration of large federated database systems is a global dictionary describing all the involved schemes into an unified framework. The first step in the construction of such a dictionary is the discovery of the properties holding among objects in different schemes. This paper presents novel algorithms to discover possible synonyms, homonyms and inclusions. In addition, the paper also deals with another crucial step in the construction of a dictionary: schema integration. The approach proposed for this step exploits inter-schema properties discovered in the previous step to achieve schema integration. This approach is also concerned with producing suitable abstractions in order to structure the description of the global dictionary into a hierarchy of concepts in order to yield a more flexible, uniform view of the attached databases. The above two steps are interleaved with other steps (mainly devoted to interfacing with database administrators and to validating the discovered properties) and have been experimented with for the construction of a global dictionary for a large number of public administration database systems.
Endogenous pro‐resolving and anti‐inflammatory lipid mediators: a new pharmacologic genus (2007)

Complete resolution of an acute inflammatory response and its return to homeostasis are essential for healthy tissues. Here, we overview ongoing efforts to characterize cellular and molecular mechanisms that govern the resolution of self‐limited inflammation. Systematic temporal analyses of evolving inflammatory exudates using mediator lipidomics‐informatics, proteomics, and cellular trafficking with murine resolving exudates demonstrate novel endogenous pathways of local‐acting mediators that share both anti‐inflammatory and pro‐resolving properties. In murine systems, resolving‐exudate leukocytes switch their phenotype to actively generate new families of mediators from major omega‐3 fatty acids EPA and DHA termed resolvins and protectins. Recent advances on their biosynthesis and actions are reviewed with a focus on the E‐series resolvins (RvE1, RvE2), D series resolvins (RvD1, RvD2) and the protectins including neuro protectin D1/protectin D1 (NPD1/PD1) as well as their aspirin‐triggered epimeric forms. Members of each new family demonstrate potent stereo‐specific actions, joining the lipoxins as endogenous local signals that govern resolution and endogenous anti‐inflammation mechanisms. In addition to their origins and roles in resolution biology in the immune system, recent findings indicate that these new mediator families also display potent protective actions in lung, kidney, and eye as well as enhance microbial clearance. Thus, these endogenous agonists of resolution pathways constitute a novel genus of chemical mediators that possess pro‐resolving, anti‐inflammatory, and antifibrotic as well as host‐directed antimicrobial actions. These may be useful in the design of new therapeutics and treatments for diseases with the underlying trait of uncontrolled inflammation and redox organ stress.

A Calcium Coordination Framework Having Permanent Porosity and High CO<sub>2</sub>/N<sub>2</sub> Selectivity (2012)

A thermally stable, microporous calcium coordination network shows a reversible 5.75 wt % CO2 uptake at 273 K and 1 atm pressure, with an enthalpy of interaction of ∼31 kJ/mol and a CO2/N2 selectivity over 45 under ideal flue gas conditions. The absence of open metal sites in the activated material suggests a different mechanism for selectivity and high interaction energy compared to those for frameworks with open metal sites.
Atomic-Beam Deflection by Resonance-Radiation Pressure (1970)

It is proposed to use the saturated value of the radiation pressure force on neutral atoms to produce a constant central force field to deflect atoms in circular orbits and make a high-resolution velocity analyzer. This is useful for studying the interaction of atoms with high-intensity monochromatic light, and to separate, velocity analyze, or trap neutral atoms of specific isotopic species or hyperfine level.

Cross-modal mapping between distributional semantics and the visual world (2014)

Following up on recent work on establishing a mapping between vector-based semantic embeddings of words and the visual representations of the corresponding objects from natural images, we first present a simple approach to cross-modal vector-based semantics for the task of zero-shot learning, in which an image of a previously unseen object is mapped to a linguistic representation denoting its word. We then introduce fast mapping, a challenging and more cognitively plausible variant of the zero-shot task, in which the learner is exposed to new objects and the corresponding words in very limited linguistic contexts. By combining prior linguistic and visual knowledge acquired about words and their objects, as well as exploiting the limited new evidence available, the learner must learn to associate new objects with words. Our results on this task pave the way to realistic simulations of how children or robots could use existing knowledge to bootstrap grounded semantic knowledge about new concepts.
