A Fluidic Colorimetric Sensor Design for Water Hardness Detection (2014)

A new sensor design for detecting water hardness using complexometric and colorimetric concepts is presented in this paper. Calmagite, a metal ion indicator, changes color of a solution to wine red in presence of calcium (Ca <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">2+</sup> ) and magnesium (Mg <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">2+</sup> ) ions at pH 10. Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) displaces the indicator from the metal-indicator complex after it is added to a solution and turns it blue. A red solution is transparent to a red light whereas nontransparent to a blue light and vice versa. A photodiode placed across the solution will give out a reading of voltage (V) variation across the diode depending on the amount of red or blue light passing through the solution and striking the photodiode. A sensor prototype is 3D printed with a channel embedded in it to hold water sample. Water hardness is detected based on visual inspection of color change of the sample and voltage change occurring when calmagite and EDTA are mixed to the sample. For a first-generation prototype, voltage variation of ~30% and 13% for blue light and 6% and 74% in average for red light in comparison to the baseline, i.e., when neither calmagite nor EDTA is mixed to the water sample, is observed due to color change. Then, a second-generation prototype is printed, which shows improvement in voltage readings compared with the first generation. Transmittance and absorbance of the solution are computed using the voltage variation data recorded across the photodiodes. A calibration curve is then compiled by measuring absorbance of various concentrations of standard CaCO <sub xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">3</sub> solution, which is then used to predict the water hardness type of the water sample.

An Object-Oriented Class Library for C++ Programs. (1987)

The Object-Oriented Program Support (OOPS) class library is a portable collection of classes similar to those of Smalltalk-80 that has been developed using the C++ programming language under the UNIX operating system. The OOPS library includes generally useful data types, such as String, Date and Time, and most of the Smalltalk-80 collection classes such as OrderedCtn (indexed arrays), LinkedList (singly linked lists), Set (hash tables), and Dictionary (associative arrays). Arbitrarily complex data structures comprised of OOPS and user-defined objects can be stored on disk files or moved between UNIX processes by means of an object I/O facility. The classes Process, Scheduler, Semaphore and SharedQueue provide multiprogramming with coroutines. This paper gives a brief introduction to object-oriented programming and how it is supported by the C+ + programming language. An overview of the OOPS library is also presented, followed by a programming example. The implementation details of two of the class library's more interesting features, object I/O and processes, are described. The paper concludes with a discussion of the differences between the OOPS library and Smalltalk-80 and some observations based on our programming experience with C++ and OOPS.
A fast full search equivalent for mean-shape-gain vector quantizers (1999)

this paper, we address the problem of finding a faster way to find the best shape codeword. In SGVQ, the mean-remove step is skipped, and the shapes are only the normalized input vectors. We will concentrate on MSGVQ, but most of the following is also applicable to SGVQ.
HMI Software powers diagnostics (1999)

The study aimed to contribute to understanding the role of CRP, chemerin, fetuin-A and osteopontin and to assess their suitability as biomarkers of early stages of cardiovascular diseases in psoriasis vulgaris. Serum levels measured in 28 patients and 22 controls. Patients: increased levels of CRP (p<0.001), chemerin (p<0.05), osteopontin (p<0.05) and decreased levels of fetuin-A (p<0.05), significant relationships between CRP and fetuin-A (rho=0.530, p<0.01), CRP and chemerin (rho=0.543, p<0.01), CRP and age (rho=0.590, p<0.001), osteopontin and fetuin-A (r=-0.415, p<0.05), chemerin and PASI score (rho=-0.424, p<0.05). We confirmed specific roles of the biomarkers in psoriasis. CRP, fetuin-A and osteopontin could be considered appropriate markers for the detection of early stages of cardiovascular diseases.

Geographical Distribution and Prevalence of Selected Borrelia, Ehrlichia, and Rickettsia Infections in Amblyomma americanum (Acari: Ixodidae) in New Jersey (2011)

We used published accounts to describe the known statewide distribution of the lone star tick, Amblyomma americanum, in New Jersey and field surveys to characterize the geographical range of A. americanum and selected A. americanum-transmitted pathogens in Monmouth County, the hypothesized northern limit of the species distribution. Ticks were collected using standardized methods from 50 widely dispersed public access areas within 18 municipalities to produce estimates of relative abundance among sites. Collected A. americanum adults were stored at -80 degrees C until processed for DNA extraction. Individual ticks were subjected to polymerase chain reaction analyses to detect the presence of Ehrlichia chaffeensis, E. ewingii, Rickettsia amblyommii, and Borrelia lonestari. The range of A. americanum was generally limited to the southern half of New Jersey. Within Monmouth County, we collected A. americanum from 9 of 18 municipalities (50%) and 24 (48%) of the surveyed properties. We found at least 1 pathogen at 17 (70.8%) sites located within 6 of 9 municipalities, while all 4 target pathogens were detected in 5 of those 6 (83.3%) municipalities. The geographical distribution of A. americanum and its associated pathogens appeared to be restricted to the southern portion of the county. Possible factors governing the distribution are discussed.
Implication of the proprotein convertases furin, PC5 and PC7 in the cleavage of surface glycoproteins of Hong Kong, Ebola and respiratory syncytial viruses: a comparative analysis with fluorogenic peptides (2001)

Fluorogenic peptides encompassing the processing sites of envelope glycoproteins of the infectious influenza A Hong Kong virus (HKV), Ebola virus (EBOV) and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) were tested for cleavage by soluble recombinants of the proprotein convertases furin, PC5 and PC7. Kinetic studies with these intramolecularly quenched fluorogenic peptides revealed selective cleavages at the physiological dibasic sites. The HKV peptide is cleaved by both furin and PC5 with similar efficacy; in comparison, PC7 cleaves this substrate poorly. In contrast with the basic tetrapeptide insertion within the haemagglutinin sequence of HKV, two other dipeptide insertions revealed a poorer cleavage with a similar rank order of potency. These results demonstrate that the N-terminal RERR insertion to the wild-type avian RKKR↓ sequence is functionally significant, and suggest that the approx. 5-fold increase in cleavage efficacy contributes to the high infectivity of the H5N1 virus subtype. With regard to RSV peptide processing, PC7 is twice as effective as PC5 and furin. The EBOV peptide was processed with similar efficiency by the three enzymes. Our observations that all of these cleavages can be effectively inhibited by a plant andrographolide derivative at 250µM or less might aid in the design of potent convertase inhibitors as alternative antiviral therapies.
Violacein synergistically increases 5-fluorouracil cytotoxicity, induces apoptosis and inhibits Akt-mediated signal transduction in human colorectal cancer cells (2005)

Despite recent additions to the armory of chemotherapeutic agents for colorectal cancer (CRC) treatment, the results of chemotherapy remain unsatisfactory. 5-Fluorouracil (5-FU) still represents the cornerstone of treatment and resistance to its actions is a major obstacle to successful chemotherapy. Therefore, new active agents in CRC and agents that increase the chemosensitivity of cancer cells to 5-FU are still urgently required. Violacein, a pigment isolated from Chromobacterium violaceum in the Amazon river, has a diverse spectrum of biological activities, and represents a novel cytotoxic drug with known antileukemic properties. To assess the suitability of violacein as a chemotherapeutic agent in CRC its cytotoxic effects were evaluated both as a single agent and in combination with 5-FU. Its underlying mechanisms of action were further investigated by studying its effects on the cell cycle, apoptosis and cell survival pathways [phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase/Akt, p44/42 mitogen activated protein kinase and nuclear factor kappaB (NF-kappaB)] in colon cancer cell lines. Violacein inhibits the growth of all four colon cancer cell lines tested. It induces apoptosis, and potentiates the cytotoxic effect of 5-FU in a poorly differentiated microsatellite unstable cell line (HCT116). Violacein causes cell cycle block at G(1), upregulates p53, p27 and p21 levels and decreases the expression of cyclin D1. Violacein leads to dephosphorylation of retinoblastoma protein and activation of caspases and a pancaspase inhibitor abrogates its biological activity. Our data provide evidence that violacein acts through the inhibition of Akt phosphorylation with subsequent activation of the apoptotic pathway and downregulation of NF-kappaB signaling. This leads to the increase in chemosensitivity to 5-FU in HCT116 colon cancer cells. Taken together, our findings suggest that violacein will be active in the treatment of colorectal tumors and offers new prospects for overcoming 5-FU resistance.
(Ti,W)C–Ni cermets by laser engineered net shaping (2009)

The effect of the laser engineered net shaping (LENS) process on the microstructure and mechanical properties of (Ti,W)C–Ni solid solution cermets was investigated. Nano-(Ti,W)C–Ni powder was synthesised, spray dried and densified by two different processes: sintering and LENS. Furthermore, all results were compared with conventional micrometre sized TiC–WC–Ni cermets. Solid solution (Ti,W)C–Ni cermets made by sintering resulted in a coreless and ultra fine microstructure, while the LENS processed specimens revealed inhomogeneous microstructure and particle coarsening. The hardness values of the LENS processed specimens range from 15 to 20 GPa, which is higher than for the ultra fine and conventional sintered composites (∼12 GPa). The measured toughness values show greater variability.
<sup>18</sup>F-DCFBC PET/CT for PSMA-Based Detection and Characterization of Primary Prostate Cancer (2015)

Although the sensitivity of (18)F-DCFBC for primary prostate cancer was less than MR imaging, (18)F-DCFBC PET was able to detect the more clinically significant high-grade and larger-volume tumors (Gleason score 8 and 9) with higher specificity than MR imaging. In particular, there was relatively low (18)F-DCFBC PET uptake in benign prostatic hypertrophy lesions, compared with cancer in the prostate, which may allow for more specific detection of primary prostate cancer by (18)F-DCFBC PET. This study demonstrates the utility of PSMA-based PET, which may be used in conjunction with MR imaging to identify clinically significant prostate cancer.
DuckTracks (2017)

Efficiently tracking an application's object allocations is of interest for areas such as memory leak detection or memory usage optimization. The state-of-the-art approach of instrumenting every allocation site with a counter introduces considerable overhead. This makes allocation tracking in a production environment unattractive. Our approach reduces this overhead by instrumenting control flow paths instead of allocation sites and dynamically determining the hot path through a method. Our ultimate goal is to reduce the amount of required counter increments by such a degree that using it in production environments becomes feasible. We present an implementation of our approach for the Java HotSpot Virtual Machine. First measurements already show a reduction of required increments of up to 30% compared to the state of the art.
High-Speed InP-Based Mach-Zehnder Modulator for Advanced Modulation Formats (2012)

We present a traveling-wave-electrode InP-based Mach-Zehnder (MZ) modulator that employs an n-p-i-n waveguide structure. The structure provides low electrical and optical propagation losses, which enables the modulator to operate at a high baud rate with a low driving voltage and a low optical insertion loss. We developed a compact 40-Gb/s differential phase shift keying (DPSK) tunable wavelength transmitter module, which incorporates a full C-band tunable laser and the MZ modulator in one package. The RF driving voltage for the MZ modulator is 3 V <sub xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">pp</sub> in a push-pull drive configuration. Using the same design for the MZ modulator, we also developed a differential quadrature phase shift keying (DQPSK) modulator or optical IQ modulator, and acheived 80-Gb/s DQPSK modulation. Furthermore, we fabricated a compact dual-polarization (DP) QPSK modulator by using the hybrid integration of an InP twin-IQ modulator and a planar lightwave circuit (PLC) polarization multiplexing circuit (PMC). We successfully demonstrated 112-Gbit/s DP-QPSK signal generation.

Low-Dose Aspirin for Migraine Prophylaxis in Women (2001)

Although migraine is more common among women than men, the only two large, randomized trials of low-dose aspirin for migraine prophylaxis have been conducted in men. As part of the Women's Health Study, an ongoing randomized trial of low-dose aspirin and vitamin E among 39 876 female health professionals aged 45 and older, 1001 women with frequent migraine attacks were assigned to 100 mg of aspirin every other day (n = 525) or aspirin placebo (n = 476). Migraine frequency, as well as severity, duration, and degree of incapacitation, were assessed by self-report on questionnaires 12 months and 36 months after randomization, and also by monthly diaries kept before and after randomization. Women assigned to aspirin reported small and consistent decreases in migraine frequency (59.6% vs. 56.4% assigned to placebo reporting improvement at 36 months; odds ratio 1.13, 95% confidence interval, 0.86--1.48), as well as decreases in severity, duration, and migraine-related incapacitation. These reductions were not, however, statistically significant. These data are compatible with a small treatment effect of low-dose aspirin in the prophylaxis of migraine among middle-aged women.

X.— <b>A Vertical Force Magnetic Survey over part of the Dusk Water Fault of North Ayrshire</b> (1961)

1. Introduction

The area comprises the ground flanking the Dusk Water Fault at Auchenmade, near Dalry, North Ayrshire (Fig. 1), is rather less than one square mile in size, and covers a section of the fault just over one mile long.

The regional geology is complicated by extensive faulting and folding, but in essentials is represented in Fig. 1. Just east of Dalry, the ground north-west of the Dusk Water Fault is occupied by a south-plunging syncline in the Carboniferous Limestone Series with Millstone Grit (and a small outlier of Coal Measures) near the axis. The Millstone Grit Series consists mainly of basic lavas (about 40 ft. thick at Auchenmade), and crops out in the northern part of the surveyed area. It is underlain by strata of the Upper Limestone and Limestone Coal Groups; the latter also crops out between the Waterside and Auchenmade Faults. South of the Dusk Water—Auchenmade Fault, basic lavas of Calciferous Sandstone age (the visible base of the local succession) form an outcrop in the east of the surveyed area and are succeeded southwards by younger rocks. Thus the Dusk Water—Auchenmade Fault, the most striking structural feature on the map, bisects and distorts the basically simple pattern of a broad south-plunging syncline, bringing rocks at the base of the succession on its southern side into proximity with rocks at the top of the succession on its northern.

The only important sequences of known rocks of high magnetic susceptibility in the district are the basic lavas which

Conclusion (1996)

In the Introduction to this book a brief review of current literature on the AMP and its relationship with Chinese history presented three related questions: 1) Is the AMP conceptually sound? 2) Does it disprove the Marxist theory of history? 3) Has it any empirical validity in explaining Chinese history?
Scalable High-Throughput Architecture for H.264/AVC Variable Block Size Motion Estimation (2006)

Variable block size motion estimation (VBSME) is a key part of the new H.264/AVC video coding standard. This has increased the demand for high performance VBSME architectures. This paper proposes a VLSI architecture for high throughput VBSME. The VBS calculation is done by combining the results of sub-block calculations to form the results for larger blocks. High motion vector throughput is achieved in two proposed implementations: one performing operations on a 1/spl times/4 set of pixels per cycle, and the second performing operations on a 1/spl times/16 set of pixels per cycle. Using these approaches, the architecture is able to produce motion vector results at a higher throughput than current VBSME designs, while providing a high level of scalability through adjusting the length of the processing element array.
User Defined Excitation System Models for Power System Stability Analysis in PSASP (2005)

PSASP (Power System Analysis Software Package) is a package of programs widely used in China for power system analysis and simulation. It provides rich functions for user development, including user defined models and user routine interface. Although PSASP contains a variety of excitation system models which satisfies the requirement for the vast majority of excitation systems, situations may arise in which there is no library model for a given new excitation system. This paper attempts to develop user defined models for three main types of excitation systems recommended by IEEE for power system stability studies, using user defined model function provided in PSASP. Case studies were carried out and the results verified the accuracy of the developed models in PSASP for power system stability studies
