Abundant surface water and ground-water resources in the structural Albuquerque basin and the proximity of large accessible deposits of various construction materials have sustained a continued metropolitan growth. A traditionally agricultural area, the inner valley or Rio Grande flood plain is succumbing to the pressures of development with the attendent problems associated with construction in the flood plain. In recent years development has sprawled across the adjacent alluvial fans to the foot of the Sandia Mountains on the east, and to lava flows or sand dunes on the west, and accordingly a wide range of geotechnical problems have been encountered in this desert environment.

Mikroverfahrenstechnik: Komponenten – Anlagenkonzeption – Anwenderakzeptanz – Teil 3 (2002)

Seit etwa fünf Jahren haben sich viele Aktivitäten auf das brachliegende Potential einer Reaktionsführung in kleinsten Abmessungen fokussiert. Aufgrund der immer noch schnellen Entwicklung von neuen Komponenten gibt der Beitrag hierzu aktualisierte Informationen in komprimierter Form. Ein wichtiges Augenmerk ist dabei auch die Analyse möglicher Anlagenkonzepte mit Mikroreaktoren und die Frage nach deren Sinnhaftigkeit. Angesichts des enormen Größenunterschieds zwischen Mikrokanälen und möglichen Komponenten ihrer fluidischen Peripherie ist dies keine nur technische Frage, sondern berührt direkt das Konzept einer Mikroverfahrenstechnik im Ganzen. In Anbetracht des großen industriellen Interesses an Mikroreaktoren wird zudem versucht Fragen zu beantworten, in welche kommerzielle Richtung sich das Gebiet entwickelt und welche Maßnahmen dies möglicherweise beeinflussen können. Microtechnology: Components – Plant Concepts – User Acceptance Many activities over the last five or so years have focussed on the thus far underdeveloped field of carrying out reactions on small scales. Due to the rapid development of new components, this paper touches on recent developments only in a compressed form. An important point is the analysis of possible plant concepts for microreactors and whether these are a sensible option. Due to the enormous size difference between the microchannels and the fluid periphery of possible components this is not just a technical question, it touches on the microtechnology concept as a whole. The direction in which the field should be developed and which measures can be taken to influence its development, are questions that are addressed here with respect to the big industrial interest in microreactors.
Synthesis of reflectance function textures from examples (2003)

Figure 1. Bottom: Synthetic sponge material with varying reflectance function per textel. Top: Synthetic sponge without reflectance functions (conventional texture map). We extend the machinery of existing texture synthesis methods to handle texture images where each pixel contains not only RGB values, but reflectance functions. Like conventional texture synthesis methods, we can use photographs of surface textures as examples to base synthesis from. However multiple photographs of the same surface are used to characterize the surface across lighting variation, and synthesis is based on these source images. Our approach performs synthesis directly in the space of reflectance functions and does not require any intermediate 3D reconstruction of the target surface. The resulting synthetic reflectance textures can be rendered in real-time with continuous control of lighting direction. 1.
A Time-Dependent Adaptive Filter for Cochannel Interference Reduction (1991)

This thesis presents a Time Dependent Adaptive Filter (TDAF) which exploits the cyclostationarity of digitally modulated communications signals and seeks to improve the Signal to Interference Ratio (SIR) and Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR) of such signals. The TDAF is embedded in a computer simulation of a simple communication system consisting of a data source, data formatter, pulse shaping filter, BPSK modulator, and demodulator. In the simulation the TDAF and a Time Independent Adaptive Filter (TIAF) attempt to extract the Signal of Interest (SOI) from noise or interference. the criteria of Mean Squared Error (MSE) is used as the primary means to compare the performance of the two adaptive filters. Plots of MSE improvement in interference, the improvement is measured as a function of the baud rate of the interference signal, and carrier frequency of the interference signal. It is shown that with respect to the TIAF, the TDAF provides up to 12 dB of improvement. Bit Error Rates (BER) for several simulations are presented. The data indicate that significant improvements in BER might be expected when a TDAF is used in lieu of a TIAF.
Phase 1b Study of Dulanermin (recombinant human Apo2L/TRAIL) in Combination With Paclitaxel, Carboplatin, and Bevacizumab in Patients With Advanced Non-Squamous Non–Small-Cell Lung Cancer (2010)

Dulanermin plus PCB was well tolerated with no occurrence of DLTs and demonstrated antitumor activity in this patient population. Dulanermin at 8 mg/kg/d for 5 days and 20 mg/kg/d for 2 days every 3 weeks in combination with PCB is being studied in a phase II trial.
F <sub>2</sub> -Isoprostanes in Human Health and Diseases: From Molecular Mechanisms to Clinical Implications (2008)

Oxidative stress is implicated as one of the major underlying mechanisms behind many acute and chronic diseases, and involved in normal aging. However, the measurement of free radicals or their end products is complicated. Thus, proof of association of free radicals in pathologic conditions has been absent. Isoprostanes are prostaglandin-like bioactive compounds that are biosynthesized in vivo independent of cyclooxygenases, principally through free-radical catalyzation of arachidonic acid. Isoprostanes are now considered to be reliable biomarkers of oxidative stress, as evidenced by an autonomous study organized recently by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) in the United States. A number of these compounds have potent biologic activities such as vasoconstrictive and certain inflammatory properties. Isoprostanes are involved in many human diseases. Additionally, elevated levels of F(2)-isoprostanes have been seen in normal human pregnancy and after intake of some fatty acids, but their physiologic assignments have not yet been distinctive. This evidence indicates that measurement of bioactive F(2)-isoprostanes in body fluids offers a unique noninvasive analytic utensil to study the role of free radicals in physiology, oxidative stress-related diseases, experimental acute or chronic inflammatory conditions, and also in the assessment of various antioxidants, radical scavengers, and drugs.

Learning Globally Optimized Object Detector via Policy Gradient (2018)

In this paper, we propose a simple yet effective method to learn globally optimized detector for object detection, which is a simple modification to the standard cross-entropy gradient inspired by the REINFORCE algorithm. In our approach, the cross-entropy gradient is adaptively adjusted according to overall mean Average Precision (mAP) of the current state for each detection candidate, which leads to more effective gradient and global optimization of detection results, and brings no computational overhead. Benefiting from more precise gradients produced by the global optimization method, our framework significantly improves state-of-the-art object detectors. Furthermore, since our method is based on scores and bounding boxes without modification on the architecture of object detector, it can be easily applied to off-the-shelf modern object detection frameworks.
Effect of p38 MAPK inhibition on corticosteroid suppression of cytokine release in severe asthma (2009)

Patients with severe asthma respond less well to corticosteroids than those with non-severe asthma. Increased p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) activation in alveolar macrophages (AMs) from severe asthma patients has been associated with a reduced inhibition of cytokine release by dexamethasone. We determined whether p38 MAPK inhibitors would modulate corticosteroid suppression of cytokine release from AMs and peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs). PBMCs were isolated from venous blood and AMs by bronchoalveolar lavage in severe and non-severe asthma patients. PBMCs and AMs were exposed to lipopolysaccharide (LPS) with and without the p38 MAPK inhibitor, SD282, or dexamethasone. We determined the concentration-dependent effects of another p38 MAPK inhibitor, GW-A, on dexamethasone-induced inhibition of interleukin (IL)-8 release from PBMCs. Cytokines were assayed using an ELISA-based method. SD282 (10(-7) M), with dexamethasone (10( -6) M), caused a greater inhibition of release of IL-1beta, IL-6, macrophage inflammatory protein-1alpha and IL-10, than with dexamethasone alone in AMs from severe and non-severe asthma. At 10(-9) and 10(-10) M, GW-A, that had no direct effects, increased the inhibitory activity of dexamethasone (10(-8) and 10( -6) M) on LPS-induced IL-8 release in PBMCs from severe asthma. Corticosteroid insensitivity in severe asthma patients may be improved by inhibitors of p38 MAPK.
Prospective oral food challenge study of two soybean protein isolates in patients with possible milk or soy protein enterocolitis (1994)

The soybean protein isolate used in powdered soybean formula is hydrolyzed more extensively than the isolate which is used in liquid soybean formula in most commercial soybean formulas. Previous in vitro studies have shown differences in human antibody response to these soybean protein isolates. Therefore, a prospective clinical study was undertaken to determine if there were differences in adverse reaction rates to these soybean protein isolates. Forty-three patients with possible milk- and/or soy-protein enterocolitis were enrolled in this study. Patients had 3 separate oral food challenges; using milk formula, soybean powder formula and soybean liquid formula. Ten (23%) patients challenged with milk had positive challenges. Fourteen (33%) patients challenged with powdered soy formula had positive challenges while thirteen (30%) challenged with liquid soy formula had positive challenges. In the 10 patients with positive milk challenges, 6 (60%) had a positive soy challenge. In the group with positive soy challenges, 5 reacted to the powdered soy challenge done first, but not the second challenge with the liquid soy formula, and 4 patients reacted to the liquid soy formula challenge done first, but not the second challenge with the powdered soy formula. These results indicate that a significant number of patients with milk protein enterocolitis have soy protein enterocolitis. In addition, an order effect can be demonstrated in the soy challenges because of the tendency to react to the first soy challenge regardless of the type of isolate. These results suggest that a local immune effect caused by the protein may be present.
Ground‐Water Tracers — A Short Review (1980)

ABSTRACT Tracers are used widely to determine the direction and velocity of ground‐water movement. Failures of tracer tests are most commonly a result of incorrect choice of tracers, insufficient concentrations of tracers, and a lack of an understanding of the hydrogeologic system being tested. Some of the most useful general tracers are bromide chloride, rhodamine WT, and various fluorocarbons. For certain purposes, dyed clubmoss and baker's yeast have proved valuable. Many radionuclides including 3 H, 82 Br, and 198 Au are almost ideal for numerous purposes, but radiation hazards associated with their use together with local, State, and Federal regulations have discouraged widespread field applications in recent years within the United States.

Circular-array optical-fiber probe for backscattering photon correlation spectroscopy measurements (1996)

A miniaturized probe comprising a circular array of optical fibers coupled to a graded-index microlens has been designed for analyzing colloidal solutions by photon correlation spectroscopy (PCS). The system's suitability for PCS measurements was validated by experimental testing performed in bulk solutions and small drops of monodisperse and bimodal test colloidal solutions.
Method for Analyzing Vibration at a Surface Point (1958)

The closed path (trajectory) traversed by a point on a vibrating surface is described in terms of two components normal to each other and contained in a plane perpendicular to the surface. For the analysis of this motion a biaxial vibration pickup (BVP), using acceleration-responsive piezoelectric transducers, has been developed. The signals for the BVP are combined by an X-Y oscilloscope to synthesize the amplified trajectory of the surface point to which the pickup is applied. Phase and amplitude of the component signals are measured with a double-beam oscilloscope so that a motion map of the vibrating surface can be made.
Structure-based Discovery of Antagonists of Nuclear Receptor LRH-1 (2013)

Liver receptor homolog 1 (nuclear receptor LRH-1, NR5A2) is an essential regulator of gene transcription, critical for maintenance of cell pluripotency in early development and imperative for the proper functions of the liver, pancreas, and intestines during the adult life. Although physiological hormones of LRH-1 have not yet been identified, crystallographic and biochemical studies demonstrated that LRH-1 could bind regulatory ligands and suggested phosphatidylinositols as potential hormone candidates for this receptor. No synthetic antagonists of LRH-1 are known to date. Here, we identify the first small molecule antagonists of LRH-1 activity. Our search for LRH-1 modulators was empowered by screening of 5.2 million commercially available compounds via molecular docking followed by verification of the top-ranked molecules using in vitro direct binding and transcriptional assays. Experimental evaluation of the predicted ligands identified two compounds that inhibit the transcriptional activity of LRH-1 and diminish the expression of the receptor's target genes. Among the affected transcriptional targets are co-repressor SHP (small heterodimer partner) as well as cyclin E1 (CCNE1) and G0S2 genes that are known to regulate cell growth and proliferation. Treatments of human pancreatic (AsPC-1), colon (HT29), and breast adenocarcinoma cells T47D and MDA-MB-468 with the LRH-1 antagonists resulted in the receptor-mediated inhibition of cancer cell proliferation. Our data suggest that specific antagonists of LRH-1 could be used as specific molecular probes for elucidating the roles of the receptor in different types of malignancies.
Age‐related effects in the EEG during propofol anaesthesia (2003)

Older patients differ from younger ones regarding the hypnotic effect of propofol and the spectral patterns in the EEG. For an efficient automatic assessment of the EEG during anaesthesia a multivariable approach accounting for age-effects is indispensable.
Focusing sub-wavelength grating couplers with low back reflections for rapid prototyping of silicon photonic circuits (2014)

We demonstrate fully-etched fiber-waveguide grating couplers with sub-wavelength gratings showing high coupling efficiency as well as low back reflections for both transverse electric (TE) and transverse magnetic (TM) modes. The power reflection coefficients for the TE and TM modes have been significantly suppressed to -16.2 dB and -20.8 dB, respectively. Focusing grating lines have also been used to reduce the footprint of the design. Our sub-wavelength grating couplers for the TE and TM modes show respective measured insertion losses of 4.1 dB and 3.7 dB with 1-dB bandwidths of 30.6 nm (3-dB bandwidth of 52.3 nm) and 47.5 nm (3-dB bandwidth of 81.5 nm), respectively.
Life Model of the Electrochemical Migration Failure of Printed Circuit Boards Under NaCl Solution (2019)

With the miniaturization of the electronic devices, the spacing among the circuit traces on printed circuit boards (PCB) keeps reducing, which increases the risk of insulation failure based on electrochemical migration (ECM), especially for immersion silver (ImAg) plated PCB. Meanwhile, due to the severe air pollution in developing countries, airborne dust can deposit on the PCBs in electronic devices. The soluble salts in the dust can decrease critical humidity and increase the ion concentration in the moisture condensed on the PCB surfaces, so that the failure mechanism based on ECM may be changed and the time to failure (TTF) can be shorten. In this paper, the effect of the soluble salt with various concentrations on the ECM failure on PCB was investigated. The life model of ECM was built up based on the electrochemical reactions on electrodes. Then the ECM of PCB under sodium chloride (NaCl) solution with various concentrations was simulated on Y- pattern PCB by water drop (WD) test method. The failure characteristics of ECM during various stages of migration and under various concentrations of salt solution were analyzed by the morphology and element compositions of dendrite products, as well as real time monitoring of surface insulation resistance (SIR). The TTF of ECM was extracted to fit the life model. Finally, the mechanism and performance of ECM of PCB under salt solution was analyzed. And the application of the life model of the ECM failure of PCB contaminated by soluble salts was discussed.
Molecular Recognition of Organized Assemblies via hydrogen bonding in aqueous media (1997)

Molecular recognition of non‐biological systems in aqueous media presents problems arising from the inherent difficulty of formation of host‐guest systems. Examples are given for recognition occurring at the air‐water interface—the most common type, where receptors from a monolayer at the interface (see Figure)—or in micelles or vesicles. The particular role of directional hydrogen‐bonding interactions is emphasized. magnified image
A lexical approach for taxonomy mapping (2016)

Obtaining a useful complete overview of Web-based product information has become difficult nowadays due to the ever-growing amount of information available on online shops. Findings from previous studies suggest that better search capabilities, such as the exploitation of annotated data, are needed to keep online shopping transparent for the user. Annotations can, for example, help present information from multiple sources in a uniform manner. In order to support the product data integration process, we propose an algorithm that can autonomously map heterogeneous product taxonomies from different online shops. The proposed approach uses word sense disambiguation techniques, approximate lexical matching, and a mechanism that deals with composite categories. Our algorithm’s performance compared favorably against two other state-of-the-art taxonomy mapping algorithms on three real-life datasets. The results show that the F1-measure for our algorithm is on average 60% higher than a state-of-the-art product taxonomy mapping algorithm.
Fibrous support for immobilization of enzymes (1982)

A poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) fiber support incorporating various aminoacetal functional groups has been developed for immobilizing enzymes. The aminated PVA fiber seems to adsorb enzymes with electrostatic force of attraction; thus the immobilization procedure is simple. By the use of this fiber having immobilized enzymes, the reaction between enzymes and substrates is nearly independent of the size of subtstrates. This newly developed type of fiber, which is formed by a mass superfine fibers (SFF), each measuring 1 μm or less in diameter, permits much more increased surface area than the conventional enzyme immobilization supports. Our studies of the properties of the fiber for immobilization of enzymes show the following results: (1) SFF has a greater ability for the immobilization of invertase than ordinary fibers; (2) dimethyl-aminated SFF has the best performance for the immobilization of invertase. From these results, it is concluded that the dimethyl-aminated SFF is an excellent support for the immobilization of invertase.
