Efficiency of a resistively loaded microstrip patch antenna (2003)

Resistive loading has been proposed as a method for improving the bandwidth of planar antennas. The paper assesses the impact of resistive loading on the performance of a microstrip patch antenna. While resistively loaded antennas offer the benefit of large improvements in antenna bandwidth, it is illustrated through the use of theoretical developments, numerical simulations, and experiment, that the efficiency of some of the antennas reported in the literature is unacceptably low.
Degradation Products of Cyanidin Glycosides from Tart Cherries and Their Bioactivities (2001)

The bioactive anthocyanins present in tart cherries, Prunus cerasus L. (Rosaceae) cv. Balaton, are cyanidin 3-glucosylrutinoside (1), cyanidin 3-rutinoside (2), and cyanidin 3-glucoside (3). Cyanidin (4) is the major anthocyanidin in tart cherries. In our continued evaluation of the in vivo and in vitro efficacy of these anthocyanins to prevent inflammation and colon cancer, we have added these compounds to McCoy's 5A medium in an effort to identify their degradation products during in vitro cell culture studies. This resulted in the isolation and characterization of protocatechuic acid (5), the predominant degradation product. In addition, 2,4-dihydroxybenzoic acid (6) and 2,4,6-trihydroxybenzoic acid (7) were identified as degradation products. However, these degradation products were not quantified. Compounds 5-7 were also identified as degradation products when anthocyanins were subjected to varying pH and thermal conditions. In cyclooxygenase (COX)-I and -II enzyme inhibitory assays, compounds 5-7 did not show significant activities when compared to the NSAIDs Naproxen, Celebrex, and Vioxx, or Ibuprofen, at 50 microM concentrations. However, at a test concentration of 50 microM, the antioxidant activity of protocatechuic acid (5) was comparable to those of the commercial antioxidants tert-butylhydroquinone (TBHQ), butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT), and butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA), and superior to that of vitamin E at 10 microM concentrations.
The cholophor: A passive polarization-switched liquid crystal screen for multicolor laser displays (1971)

Cholophors are passive polarization-switched color display elements suitable for use with lasers or white light. Their hybrid structure, consisting of a thin layer of cholesteric liquid crystal over a layer of photoluminescent phosphor, provides properties of particular interest for large-screen optically scanned multicolor display applications. Cholophors permit more efficient use of available laser power while providing a solution to the problem of color registration for two-primary displays and a partial solution for three-primary displays. Two-primary or Land-color displays can be obtained with only one color of laser light and three-primary displays with only two colors. A three-primary cholophor display using a single argon ion laser would have over 7 times the efficiency of a typical state-of-the-art system using an argon-krypton mixed-gas laser. The liquid crystal layer provides polarization selectivity, and the phosphor layer produces the additional color not furnished by the laser. The liquid crystal transmits one sense of laser polarization while totally reflecting the other, thereby permitting polarization selective excitation of the underlying phosphor. The color selection information is coded into the polarization of the incident laser beam.
Enhanced activity of antifungal drugs using natural phenolics against yeast strains of Candida and Cryptococcus (2011)

Pleiotropic effects of the <i>Bcg</i> gene. II. Genetic restriction of responses to mitogens and allogeneic targets. (1988)

The response of Bcgr and Bcgs spleen cells to allogeneic Ag, mitogens, and in a system of oxidative mitogenesis using neuraminidase and galactose oxidase was investigated in two Bcg congenic systems. The Bcgr macrophages supported the MLR across H-2 barrier much better than the Bcgs macrophages. At sub-optimal or optimal doses of mitogens Bcgr mice were higher responders than their Bcgs counterparts. The superior response of Bcgr spleen cells to Con A was further investigated with the aim of identifying the population expressing this phenotype. T cells of either Bcgr or Bcgs type showed equal ability to respond to Con A in the presence of macrophages. Purified splenic macrophages from Bcgr mice contained a significantly greater percentage of Ia+-bearing macrophages compared to Bcgs mice. Splenic macrophages of the Bcgr type were more efficient than their Bcgs counterparts at restoring the Con A response of accessory cell-depleted spleen cells. Resident peritoneal macrophages as well as splenic dendritic cells from Bcgr and Bcgs mice were equally efficient at restoring this response. Glutaraldehyde-fixed Bcgr splenic macrophages were shown to be more efficient than the Bcgs cells at replenishing the response of Con A-unresponsive spleen cells when supplemented with IL-1.
An Automated Single-Pipe Irrigation System (1986)

ABSTRACT AN automated single-pipe system was developed for both water conveyance and distribution to the field. The pipe has a flexible tube liner inside and is equipped with automated diverter valves. The valves direct water either through the flexible tube for conveyance to downstream pipeline sections or to the outside of the tube for distribution to the field through the pipe gates. The system is well suited for automating multiple-set gated pipe systems for both conventional and surge flow irrigation. Head loss coefficients were determined for the valves and the pipeline for both the conveyance and distribution modes. Field installation procedures are described. The cost of the single-pipe system is about 60% of that for an automated double pipe system.

Is Lifestyle Tourism Business in the Age of Commercialization Just a Dream? Challenges and Remedies (2014)

Lifestyle tourism businesses have emerged in many Chinese township destinations, and with rapid tourism development in China the problem of commercialization cannot be ignored. This study explores the effects of tourism commercialization on lifestyle tourism business owners’ attitudes towards doing business. In-depth interviews were conducted with lifestyle tourism business owners in Yangshuo, China. The grounded theory approach was followed through a systematic procedure of open coding, axial coding, and selective coding in order to make sense out of the data. The findings indicate that most of the lifestyle tourism business owners have changed their attitudes towards doing business as a result of the commercialization of tourism in their area. Two major reasons contribute to this change of attitude, namely, altered perceptions of the destination, and the increased difficulties of doing business. This study also points out two barriers to operating small tourism businesses: high rents and increased competition from business rivals.
Comparative Study of Different Standardization Concepts in Quantitative Competitive Reverse Transcription-PCR Assays (1998)

Four different standardization approaches based on a competitive reverse transcription (RT)-PCR assay were compared with a noncompetitive assay based on an external standard curve. Criteria for assessment were accuracy in quantitation, correctness of recovery, sensitivity, dynamic range, reproducibility, throughput, and convenience of sample handling. As a model system, we used the 5'-noncoding region of hepatitis C virus (HCV) for amplification in all quantitative RT-PCRs. A computer program that allowed parallel data processing was developed. Surprisingly, all methods were found suitable for accurate quantitation and comparable with respect to the criterion correctness of recovery. All results differed only by a factor of about 2. The reason for this finding might be that all of our mimics, as well as the wild-type genome of HCV, exhibited exactly the same amplification and hybridization efficacy. Moreover, minimal competition occurred in our experiments over a 5-log dynamic range. A further topic of our investigation was the comparison of two different competitive RNA fragments, mimics, with regard to their suitability as internal standards. One was a heterologous mimic, in which only the primer binding sites were identical to the wild type. The second one was a homologous mimic identical to the wild type except for a small region used for differential hybridization, which was replaced by a permutated sequence of the same length. Both the homologous and heterologous internal mimics were found appropriate for an accurate competitive RT-PCR assay, provided that amplification efficacy, as well as capture efficacy, is proven identical for both analyte and mimic.
How protective are the lead aprons we use against ionizing radiation (2011)

All of the aprons were found insufficient for protection and were more radioparent than the defined limits; it was concluded that they must be replaced by new ones.

For digital audio recorders, error correction is a basic requirement, and certain algorithms for accomplishing it are mentioned. Specifications are given for different types of digital audio recorders, Finally, digital communication is discussed in general, using an input/output format as an example.
ARTERIAL ELASTICITY IN MAN IN RELATION TO AGE AS EVALUATED BY THE PULSE WAVE VELOCITY METHOD (1934)

The mounting incidence of deaths as a result of cardiovascular disease has stimulated investigators to inquire intensively into the nature and progress of the degenerative diseases of the heart and blood vessels, in an attempt to uncover possible etiologic factors and obtain data and methods for prediction in individual cases. A high percentage of all cardiovascular disease is associated with a hardening of the arteries or arteriosclerosis. The etiology of arteriosclerosis remains shrouded in mystery. Its recognition in the living subject has met with only a fair degree of success. By means of the electrocardiograph, disease of the coronary arteries can be detected fairly early in many cases. Changes in the arteriolar system, which plays such an important rôle in the regulation of arterial blood pressure may be detected in the retinal vessels with the ophthalmoscope. Then, by physical examination it is possible to judge in a rather rough and
A comparison of leukocyte aggregation, leukocyte migration and skin reactivity to recall antigens in patients with AIDS. (1986)

A study was made to evaluate the leukocyte aggregation test (LAT) in patients at risk for acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) and with confirmed AIDS using tuberculin, streptococcus and candida as recall antigens. These patients were selected on the basis of their well known absence of delayed hypersensitivity, a fact which should avoid false positive tests. Antigen-induced human peripheral blood leukocyte aggregation was measured quantitatively. The results obtained have been compared with the leukocyte migration inhibition test (LMIT) in patient and control groups. Among the 46 patients, less than 7% were positive for the LAT, whereas more than 50% were LMIT positive (P less than 0.001). These results suggest that there are fewer false positive reactions with LAT which can therefore be considered as a reliable method for assessing CMI in human. Furthermore, a negative LAT correlated well with negative delayed skin tests in more than 90% of the patients for the three antigens. These patients had either an AIDS or an advanced AIDS-related complex (ARC). In only eight of the patients was there a discrepancy in the results of the two tests. A positive LAT and a negative skin test were seen in three cases lacking opportunistic infections (OI), whereas a negative LAT and a positive skin test were found in patients with or without OI. In the latter, a negative LAT could indicate a more advanced stage of disease and hence a poor prognosis.
Up-regulation of microRNA 506 leads to decreased Cl−/HCO3 − anion exchanger 2 expression in biliary epithelium of patients with primary biliary cirrhosis (2012)

miR-506 is up-regulated in cholangiocytes from PBC patients, binds the 3'UTR region of AE2 mRNA, and prevents protein translation, leading to diminished AE2 activity and impaired biliary secretory functions. In view of the putative pathogenic role of decreased AE2 in PBC, miR-506 may constitute a potential therapeutic target for this disease.

We apply strong magnetic fields of H=28.5 to 43 T to suppress superconductivity (SC) in the cuprates Bi2Sr2-xLaxCuO6+delta (x=0.65, 0.40, 0.25, 0.15, and 0), and investigate the low temperature (T) normal state by 63Cu nuclear spin-lattice relaxation rate (1/T1) measurements. We find that the pseudogap (PG) phase persists deep inside the overdoped region but terminates at x approximately 0.05, which corresponds to the hole doping concentration of approximately 0.21. Beyond this critical point, the normal state is a Fermi liquid that persists as the ground state when superconductivity is removed by the magnetic field. A comparison of the superconducting state with the H-induced normal state in the x=0.40 (Tc=32 K) sample indicates that there remains substantial part of the Fermi surface even in the fully developed PG state, which suggests that the PG and SC are coexisting matters.
FShm: High-Rate Frame Manipulation in Kernel and User-Space (2006)

Abstract : The high performance, low cost, and flexibility of commodity hardware systems make them appealing for network processing applications. However, the standard software architecture of such systems imposes significant limitations. At high rates (e.g., Gigabit Ethernet) and small frame sizes (64 byte) each frame must be processed in less than 672 ns. System calls, synchronization, and memory latencies can dominate this processing time. Despite significant effort to remove this overhead, we are aware of no general purpose mechanism that can handle this load on commodity hardware. This paper describes the frame-shared-memory architecture (FShm), a general-purpose software architecture for processing network frames on commodity multiprocessor hardware. FShm supports kernel- and userspace processing at Gigabit Ethernet rates by increasing throughput, without reducing the per-frame processing time, by pipelining work across multiple processors. FShm can generate, capture, and forward frames at the theoretical maximum rate on a Gigabit Ethernet network for all frame sizes greater than 96 bytes, and at 95% of maximum for the 64 byte minimum frame size (the limit of the tested hardware).
Escalation of Commiement in Software Projects: An Examination of Two Theories (2013)

Escalation of commitment is common in many software projects. It stands for the situation where managers decide to continue investing in or supporting a prior decision despite new evidence suggesting the original outcome expectation will be missed. Escalation of commitment is generally considered to be irrational. Past literature has proposed several theories to explain the behaviour. Two commonly used interpretations are self-justification and the framing effect. While both theories have been found effective in causing the escalation of commitment, their relative effect is less studied. The purpose of this study is to further investigate the primary factor that causes the escalation of commitment in software project related decisions. An experiment was designed to examine whether the escalation of commitment exists in different decision contingencies and which theories play a more important role in the escalation. One hundred and sixty two subjects participated in the experiment. The results indicate that both self-justification and problem framing have effects on commitment escalation in software projects but the effect of self-justification is stronger. Significant interaction effect is also found. A commitment is more likely to escalate if the problem is framed positively.
DITERPENE CONSTITUENTS OF JUNIPERUS POLYCARPOS AND THEIR ANTIMICROBIAL AND ANTI-INFLAMMATORY ACTIVITIES (1998)

Activity-directed study of Juniperus polycarpos led to the isolation of active antimicrobial viz., hinokiol, sandaracopimaric acid 4-eniabietic acid, and other minor terpenes in addition to sabinic acid. The antiinflammatory activity of hinokiol was also demonstrated, using carrageenan-induced inflammation_in rats. The structures of the isolated terpenes were determined by 1HNMR, 13CNMR and 2DNMR, APT, DEPT, PND spectra.
Reflex stimulation of sympathetic outflow during rhythmic exercise in humans (1989)

The aim of this study was to determine whether a chemically generated reflex arising in nonischemic skeletal muscle normally increases sympathetic outflow during rhythmic exercise. To accomplish this aim, we recorded muscle sympathetic nerve activity (MSNA, peroneal nerve) in conscious humans during exercise interventions designed to alter the relationship between muscle blood flow and metabolic demand. Under normal conditions, MSNA increased during moderate but not during mild levels of rhythmic handgrip (0.67 Hz) and one-arm cycling (0.83 Hz). MSNA remained elevated when the moderate level of rhythmic handgrip was followed by forearm vascular occlusion, a maneuver that sustains muscle chemoreflex stimulation. Complete arm vascular occlusion was needed to increase MSNA during mild arm cycling, whereas even partial vascular occlusion greatly amplified the stimulation of MSNA normally produced by the moderate level of arm cycling. We conclude that a chemically generated reflex arising in nonischemic working muscle plays an important role in the normal activation of sympathetic discharge to nonexercising leg muscles during moderate but not during mild levels of rhythmic arm exercise.
