Current Practice and Recent Commercial Developments in Flame Retardancy of Polyamides (2004)

This review presents the currently used or promising flame retardant systems for the aliphatic polyamides. The largest applications are in electrical parts, with smaller usage in automotive and textiles. A polycyclic chlorohydrocarbon, DECHLORANE PLUS, is employed in low smoke formulations. Decabromodiphenyl ether has major use in polyamide 6. Alternative brominated additives include decabromodiphenylethane, polybrominated phenylindane, polymeric dibromophenylene oxide, polybrominated polystyrene and oligomeric glycidyl ethers of tetrabromobisphenol A, and polypentabromobenzyl acrylate. In non-reinforced polyamide 6, melamine cyanurate is effective. With glass reinforcements, some melamine pyro-or polyphosphates are useful. Polyamide 6 can be flame retarded with high loadings of magnesium hydroxide. Stabilized and coated red phosphorus is used in Europe and the Far East. A recent development is the use of aluminum dialkylphosphinate. In textile fiber, there has been some development of a built-in phosphinate. Polyamide fabric can be flame retarded with a thioureaformaldehyde resin finish.
Tapered polarizing anisotropic fibers (1988)

Under the assumption of weak guidance and weak anisotropy, tapered anisotropic fibers with equal or nearly equal anisotropy in the core and cladding are discussed theoretically. This study shows that, by properly choosing the external refractive index, one of the polarized modes can be filtered by the taper in an anisotropic fiber while the other remains unaffected. Thus single-mode single-polarization operation is realized in the weakly guiding, weakly anisotropic fiber.
Evaluation of a Novel Anti-Mucin 1 (MUC1) Antibody (PankoMab) as a Potential Diagnostic Tool in Human Ductal Breast Cancer; Comparison with Two Established Antibodies (2009)

PankoMab revealed strong correlation to hormone receptor expression in ductal carcinoma of the breast. VU-4-H5 showed increased staining intensity in correlation with increased grading and lymph node involvement. PankoMab and VU-4-H5 staining could be a useful combination in ductal breast cancer prognosis by immunohistochemistry.
Oxidative stress and neurodegenerative disorders (1997)

Выяснение роли свободных радикалов в гибели нейронов, вызванной активацией рецепторов возбуждающих аминокислот, представляет значительный интерес в связи с изучением патогенеза острых и хронических неврологических заболеваний. Окислительно-восстановительные реакции, связанные с переносом электронов, сопряжены с возникновением свободных радикалов – атомов или молекул, содержащих орбиталь с неспаренным электроном. Некоторые свободные радикалы высокореактивны и способны захватывать электроны соседних молекул для заполнения вакансии в орбитали. Эти реакции могут повреждать различные биологические молекулы, включая ДНК, клеточные белки и мембранные липиды, вызывая окислительный стресс. Получены доказательст­ва того, что избыточное образование свободных радикалов вовлекается в патологические процессы при болезнях Паркинсона, Альцгеймера, Хантингтона, амиотрофическом боковом склерозе. Предполагают, что накопление повреждений, связанных с окислением биологических молекул, обусловливает постепенное начало и прогрессирующее течение нейродегенеративных заболеваний. Окислительный стресс играет важную роль в патогенезе таких острых патологиче­ских состояний, как нарушения мозгового кровообращения и черепно-мозговые травмы.
The effect of decision style on the use of a project management tool (2005)

Managing a software development project presents many difficulties. Most software development projects are considered less than successful, and many are simply cancelled. Ineffective project management has been cited as a major factor contributing to these failures. Project management tools can greatly assist managers in tracking and controlling their projects. However, their structured and analytical nature does not necessarily match the decision-making styles of project managers.This paper presents the results of an empirical laboratory study that examined the influence of decision style on a project manager's use of the project management tool, Microsoft Project. Project managers from eight companies participated in the study, and generated an interesting pattern indicating that significant differences exist with respect to the use made of a project management tool when the project manager's decision style is taken into consideration. The results clearly indicate that when completing certain tasks, such as developing an initial project plan, project managers preferring a more directive or analytical approach to decision making significantly outperformed those project managers preferring a more conceptual or behavioral approach, both in regard to the time taken to complete the plan, and the accuracy of the plan.
Germán Valdecara: un acuarelista aragonés en la bohemia de París durante la Belle Époque (2017)

espanolEl presente articulo arroja informacion sobre un artista hasta ahora olvidado por nuestra historiografia, el pintor zaragozano German Valdecara Gonzalez. Tras una laureada formacion academica en la Escuela de Bellas Artes de Zaragoza y posteriormente en la dependiente de la Real Academia de Bellas Artes de San Fernando de Madrid, inicio su prometedora carrera como acuarelista, llegando a participar en numerosas exposiciones de la Sociedad de Acuarelistas de Madrid. Su paso posterior por Paris y Roma fue recogido por el critico de arte Isidoro Lopez Lapuya, quien dio testimonio de las dificultades que este pintor tuvo que atravesar para ganarse la vida en la Ciudad de la Luz. Para muchos la llamada Belle Epoque no fue tan feliz como su designacion parece indicar, sino que supuso grandes dificultades cuando los artistas no pudieron adaptarse a las exigencias de un mercado tan competitivo. EnglishThis article gives information about an artist from Zaragoza forgotten until now by our historiography, painter German Valdecara Gonzalez. After a brilliant academic training in the School of Fine Arts of Zaragoza and subsequently that of the Royal Academy of Fine Arts of San Fernando in Madrid, he began his promising career as watercolorist, managing to participate in several exhibitions of the Madrid’s Society of Watercolors. Later, his situation in Paris and Rome was reviewed by the art critic Isidoro Lopez Lapuya, who narrated the problems that this painter had to face in order to survive in the Ville Lumiere. For some artists the Belle Epoque period was not as happy as its designation seems to indicate, it rather meant great difficulties when the artists could not adapt their work to the demands of such a competitive market.
On the development of a low-cost real-time remote patient monitoring system using a novel non-invasive microwave vital signs sensor (2010)

In this paper we describe the telemedicine related research and development efforts at Hawaii Center for Advanced Communications (HCAC). Our group has prototyped an interactive telemedicine system comprising of several medical sensors for remote diagnosis, and has design a novel non-invasive microwave vital signs sensor and associated digital signal processing (DSP) methods for continuous remote monitoring applications. The microwave sensor measures an integrated signal that when processed provides heart rate, respiration rate, changes in lung-fluid content, as well as the stroke volume. The developed low cost interactive telemedicine prototype, the design and measurements of the microwave sensor, as well as the signal analysis technique used to extract vital signs are described in the paper.
Study of Nucleation and Growth in the Organometallic Synthesis of Magnetic Alloy Nanocrystals:  The Role of Nucleation Rate in Size Control of CoPt<sub>3</sub> Nanocrystals (2003)

High quality CoPt(3) nanocrystals were synthesized via simultaneous reduction of platinum acetylacetonate and thermodecomposition of cobalt carbonyl in the presence of 1-adamantanecarboxylic acid and hexadecylamine as stabilizing agents. The high flexibility and reproducibility of the synthesis allows us to consider CoPt(3) nanocrystals as a model system for the hot organometallic synthesis of metal nanoparticles. Different experimental conditions (reaction temperature, concentration of stabilizing agents, ratio between cobalt and platinum precursors, etc.) have been investigated to reveal the processes governing the formation of the metal alloy nanocrystals. It was found that CoPt(3) nanocrystals nucleate and grow up to their final size at an early stage of the synthesis with no Ostwald ripening observed upon further heating. In this case, the nanocrystal size can be controlled only via proper balance between the rates for nucleation and for growth from the molecular precursors. Thus, the size of CoPt(3) nanocrystals can be precisely tuned from approximately 3 nm up to approximately 18 nm in a predictable and reproducible way. The mechanism of homogeneous nucleation, evolution of the nanocrystal ensemble in the absence of Ostwald ripening, nanocrystal faceting, and size-dependent magnetic properties are investigated and discussed on the example of CoPt(3) magnetic alloy nanocrystals. The developed approach was found to be applicable to other systems, e.g., FePt and CoPd(2) magnetic alloy nanocrystals.
Specialized surface adaptations of Giardia lamblia. (1995)

Although Giardia lamblia trophozoites were first described by Von Leeuwenhoek in his own diarrheic stool, relatively little is known of the basic biology of this common parasite or the pathophysiology of giardiasis. In particular, there is little specific information about trophozoite properties that cause diarrhea, as neither toxins nor conventional virulence factors have been identified. Therefore, parasite adaptations that promote cyst survival in the external environment and infection and trophozoite persistence in the small intestine, may be viewed as key virulence properties. This review focuses on unusual surface structures of the trophozoite and cyst forms that enable Giardia to be such a successful parasite.

Linearized solution of unsteady deep flow toward an array of horizontal drains (1964)

An approximate method for predicting water table fluctuations caused by a variable recharge is presented. It is assumed that the drains are at the water table, and that the drained permeable stratum is deep, homogeneous, and isotropic. The main approximation of the flow system is the linearization of the boundary condition on the free surface. In this way the problem is reduced to the solution of a Volterra integral equation of the first kind, which is solved by a numerical technique. The results are presented in a dimensionless form in tables and graphs.
High-Level Information For Scene Description (1990)

The computation and interpretation of visible parts of objets in a scene is one the most important tasks in imagery. Hidden part removal algorithms are often used to solve this problem in synthetic imagery, but these algorithms are not adapted to recognition tasks because they do not provide a representation of visibility and (its dual) occlusion. In this paper we propose to take into account the representation of occlusion by a high-level description of tridimensional scenes. The idea is that the knowledge of a view point introduces occluding relations between objects in the scene. We use a graph based approach, and we define an "occluding graph" for a viewpoint position. The use of this graph simplifies applications like hidden part removal, image interpretation, and obstacle avoidance.

A framework for incorporating dynamic strategies in earth-moving simulations (1997)

Earthwork projects involve moving specific amounts of earth from a discrete set of source locations to a discrete set of destinations. Constructors use different methods and equipment to move earth depending primarily on haul distance and equipment availability.
Family history, longevity, and risk of coronary heart disease: the PRIME Study (2003)

These results indicate that a family history of coronary disease and parental longevity, although related, act independently of one another and of other major cardiovascular risk factors in predicting 5-year risk of subsequent coronary events.
High‐throughput analysis using gated multi‐inlet mass spectrometry (2011)

Gated multi-inlet mass spectrometry is introduced for high-throughput chemical analysis. In this design, multiple high-pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC) columns or capillary electrophoresis (CE) capillaries are attached to multiple electrosprayers (one for each column or capillary) that spray toward a gated multi-inlet time-of-flight mass spectrometer (TOF-MS). Although all of the sprayers are spraying continuously, only one inlet is exposed at any given time for a specific duration set by the MS data system. The gated multi-sprayer, multi-inlet design significantly enhances the performance of the multi-ESI, multi-inlet TOF-MS with minimal cost and reduces analysis time. The gated multi-sprayer, multi-inlet design was applied to the investigation of column-to-column reproducibility of multiple HPLCs using a peptide mixture and to the simultaneous analysis of four protein digests. In addition, it was applied to the analysis of peptide mixtures using eight CE capillaries. The gated multi-inlet MS has several advantages compared to our previous non-gated multi-inlet MS. For example, because only one inlet is open at one time, the original manufacturer's inlet inner diameter and pumping system can be used, which enhances the sensitivity of detection for each inlet and minimizes the manufacturing cost. In addition, the number of inlets can be increased as desired. The maximum number of liquid streams that can be concurrently analyzed is limited by: (1) the number of inlets, (2) the chromatographic (electrophoretic) peak width, and (3) how fast the gate can move from one position to the next.
Dache: A data aware caching for big-data applications using the MapReduce framework (2013)

The buzz-word big-data (application) refers to the large-scale distributed applications that work on unprecedentedly large data sets. Google's MapReduce framework and Apache's Hadoop, its open-source implementation, are the defacto software system for big-data applications. An observation regarding these applications is that they generate a large amount of intermediate data, and these abundant information is thrown away after the processing finish. Motivated by this observation, we propose a data-aware cache framework for big-data applications, which is called Dache. In Dache, tasks submit their intermediate results to the cache manager. A task, before initiating its execution, queries the cache manager for potential matched processing results, which could accelerate its execution or even completely saves the execution. A novel cache description scheme and a cache request and reply protocol are designed. We implement Dache by extending the relevant components of the Hadoop project. Testbed experiment results demonstrate that Dache significantly improves the completion time of MapReduce jobs and saves a significant chunk of CPU execution time.

Riding the Crest: A Tale of Two Wave Experiments (1991)

This paper gives a general overview of two ocean wave experiments. The experimental goals of the Surface Wave Processes Program (SWAPP) and of the Surface Wave Dynamics Experiment (SWADE) are quite different but complementary. In general terms, SWAPP is focused on local processes: principally wave breaking, upper mixed layer dynamics, and microwave and acoustic signatures of wave breaking. SWADE, on the other hand, is concerned primarily with the evolution of the directional wave spectrum in both time and space, improved understanding of wind forcing and wave dissipation, the effect of waves on the air-sea coupling mechanisms, and the radar response of the surface. Both programs acknowledge that wave dissipation is the weakest link in our understanding of wave evolution on the ocean. SWAPP takes a closer look at wave dissipation processes directly, while SWADE, with the use of fully non-linear (third generation) wave models and carefully measured wind forcing, provides an opportunity to study the effect of dissipation on spectral evolution. Both programs involve many research platforms festooned with instruments and large teams of scientists and engineers gathering and analyzing huge datasets. The success of SWAPP and SWADE will be measured in the degree to which the results can be integrated into a far more complete picture than we have had heretofore of interfacial physics, wave evolution, and mixed layer dynamics.
Optimal locally repairable codes via rank-metric codes (2013)

This paper presents a new explicit construction for locally repairable codes (LRCs) for distributed storage systems which possess all-symbol locality and the largest possible minimum distance, or equivalently, can tolerate the maximum number of node failures. This construction, based on maximum rank distance (MRD) Gabidulin codes, provides new optimal vector and scalar LRCs. In addition, the paper also discusses mechanisms by which codes obtained using this construction can be used to construct LRCs with efficient local repair of failed nodes by combination of LRCs with regenerating codes.
cDNA sequences of three sheep myeloid cathelicidins (1995)

Several myeloid antimicrobial peptide precursors have been shown to consist of a N-terminal proregion similar to a protein named cathelin and a structurally varied C-terminal antimicrobial domain. Proteins with these features have been named cathelicidins. In this paper we report the cDNA sequences of three ovine cathelicidins of 155, 160 and 190 residues, respectively, with cationic C-terminal sequences corresponding to putative antimicrobial domains. These are structurally varied and include a Cys-rich sequence of 12 residues, which is similar to the bovine antimicrobial cyclic dodecapeptide, a novel 29 residue sequence named SMAP-29 with a possible alpha-helical conformation, and a 60 residue sequence named Bac7.5, which appears to be a new member of the Pro- and Arg-rich group of mammalian antimicrobial peptides.
