Impact of Early Parenteral Nutrition on Muscle and Adipose Tissue Compartments During Critical Illness* (2013)

Early parenteral nutrition did not prevent the pronounced wasting of skeletal muscle observed over the first week of critical illness. Furthermore, early parenteral nutrition increased the amount of adipose tissue within the muscle compartments.
Opening the closed: Design of a user-centered closed payment border (2016)

Context In recent years, to let/make people check-in and out and to control access to stations, in the busiest train stations and in most of the metro stations, gates have been introduced. E-ticketing gates for public transportation with suboptimal interaction can cause congestions as well as stress and discomfort for the users, which can lead to discouragement of public transport usage. Process In-context user research in the public transport systems of The Netherlands, London, Hong Kong and Tokyo found usage patterns and issues that travellers encounter. Several new design concepts based on the findings were evaluated with stakeholders and the final design was evaluated with users. Design In contrast with the current gates in the Dutch public transport system, the new design has doors that are open on default and close when something is wrong. This, in combination with the redesigned user interface, allows for a faster throughput. The validator light, the guiding light, the display, the lights underneath the gates and sound give feedback to the users about their validation. Users get feed forward about the operator and the direction of the gates through the arrows and crosses, and the lightboxes on the overhead signage and on the front of the gates.
WCDMA Radio Interface (2006)

Understanding the WCDMA radio interface is essential for engineers dealing with UMTS radio networks. A knowledge of the structure and usage of the physical channels in the downlink and uplink directions, together with a knowledge of spreading and modulation, provides a good background for understanding how the WCDMA radio network works. Various kinds of services with different quality-of-service requirements and bit rates can be transmitted through the radio interface with the help of an effective and versatile radio resource management (RRM). The RRM consists of the handover control, power control, admission and load control, as well as resource management. In WCDMA networks, power control has an especially important role. The behavior of the RRM is controlled with a set of radio parameters. Most of these radio parameters are defined by 3GPP specifications. With these parameters and good network planning practice, the behavior of a WCDMA network can be optimized to meet coverage, capacity, and quality requirements. However, in the RRM, there can be vendor-specific implementations that may provide benefits in utilizing the radio resources.
A sparsity based approach towards fast MRI acquisition (2012)

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is a safe medical imaging modality that can acquire high quality scans. However, MRI has a relatively long acquisition time compared to other medical imaging modalities like X-Ray Computer Tomography and Ultrasonography. Reducing the MRI data acquisition time had been a challenge to researchers for the last two decades. Broadly there are two approaches to reduce the scan time – i) the hardware based approach by which the design of the scanner is changed to accommodate faster scans and ii) the software based approach where the sampling and reconstruction methods are changed to make faster scans. In this thesis, we propose techniques to reduce MRI acquisition time from the software based approach. The MRI scanner acquires the data in the Fourier frequency domain (more commonly referred to as the k-space in MRI). Traditionally, the k-space is sampled on a uniform Cartesian grid, and the image is therefore reconstructed using the inverse Fast Fourier Transform. Full sampling of the k-space is time consuming and forms the main source of delay in MRI acquisition. We show that it is possible to reduce the scan time by using non-uniform under-sampling of the k-space along with smart reconstruction algorithms to produce good quality MR images. The main contributions of this thesis are the following: 1. A novel MR image model that assumes the image to be a super-position of sparse and low-rank component is proposed; this yields more accurate reconstruction than previously known techniques in single channel static MR image reconstruction. 2. Algorithms for multi-echo MR imaging that jointly exploits the inter-echo correlation are proposed, resulting in a more accurate image reconstruction than existing techniques. 3. For the first time, a robust technique for multi-channel parallel MRI that does not require estimation of coil sensitivity maps is proposed. This technique produces images whose quality is at par or even better than state-of-the-art techniques. 4. Novel techniques for near real-time dynamic MRI reconstruction that are faster and more accurate than existing ones proposed 5. Efficient algorithms to solve a variety of problems in sparse/group-sparse/row-sparse signal recovery and low-rank matrix recovery are derived.
An Algorithm for Calculating the Air/Fuel Ratio from Exhaust Emissions (1997)

<div class="htmlview paragraph">A confusing number of equations have been developed and published for calculating the air/fuel ratio of an operating engine from the composition of its exhaust gasses. These methods make varying use of the information available from the gas concentration measurements, but they all are based on the same chemistry of combustion. The method described here is a single algorithm that duplicates the results of all the well known published equations and can adapt to different measurement circumstances, such as when an oxygen measurement is not available or if the gas sampling point is moved to after the catalyst. Data are presented to demonstrate the equivalence of the algorithm and equation evaluations.</div>
Seasonal Variations in Activity of the Southern Pine Beetle in East Texas (1964)

In southern pine beetle, Dendroctonus frontalis Zimmerman, populations in east Texas during 1960-62, average ratios of increase were 2 or 3 to 1 for each generation during the late fall through early spring. During June through September they were less than 1 to 1. Number and size of new infestations increased most rapidly during April, May, and June. Beetles attacked upper stems during the cooler months, the lower third of stems in midsummer. Changes in attack intensities, host conditions, and abundance of natural enemies seemed to account for much of the seasonal variation in brood establishment and development. During midsummer prolonged high temperatures apparently limited dispersal and survival. Artificial control measures should be intensified in fall, winter, and early spring.

REVIEW ARTICLE Monoamine oxidase inhibitors, opioid analgesics and serotonin toxicity (2005)

Toxicity resulting from excessive intra-synaptic serotonin, historically referred to as serotonin syndrome, is now understood to be an intra-synaptic serotonin concentration-related phenomenon. Recent research more clearly delineates serotonin toxicity as a discreet toxidrome characterized by clonus, hyper-reflexia, hyperthermia and agitation. Serotonergic side-effects occur with serotonergic drugs, and overdoses of serotonin re-uptake inhibitors (SRIs) frequently produce marked serotonergic side-effects, and in 15% of cases, moderate serotonergic toxicity, butnottoaseveredegree,whichproduceshyperthermiaandriskofdeath.Itisonlycombinations of serotonergic drugs acting by different mechanisms that are capable of raising intra-synaptic serotonin to a level that is life threatening. The combination that most commonly does this is a monoamine oxidase inhibitor (MAOI) drug combined with any SRI. There are a number of lesserknowndrugs thatare MAOIs, such aslinezolidand moclobemide; andsome opioidanalgesicshave serotonergic activity. These properties when combined can precipitate life threatening serotonin toxicity. Possibly preventable deaths are still occurring. Knowledge of the properties of these drugs will therefore help to ensure that problems can be avoided in most clinical situations, and treatedappropriately (with 5-HT2Aantagonists for severe cases) if they occur. Thephenylpiperidine series opioids, pethidine (meperidine), tramadol, methadone and dextromethorphan and propoxyphene, appear to be weak serotonin re-uptake inhibitors and have all been involved in serotonin toxicity reactions with MAOIs (including some fatalities). Morphine, codeine, oxycodone and buprenorphine are known not to be SRIs, and do not precipitate serotonin toxicity with MAOIs. Br J Anaesth 2005; 95: 434‐41
Pediocin‐like antimicrobial peptides (class IIa bacteriocins) and their immunity proteins: biosynthesis, structure, and mode of action (2005)

Pediocin-like antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) form a group of lactic acid bacteria produced, cationic membrane-permeabilizing peptides with 37 to 48 residues. Upon exposure to membrane-mimicking entities, their hydrophilic, cationic, and highly conserved N-terminal region forms a three-stranded antiparallel beta-sheet supported by a conserved disulfide bridge. This N-terminal beta-sheet region is followed by a central amphiphilic alpha-helix and this in most (if not all) of these peptides is followed by a rather extended C-terminal tail that folds back onto the central alpha-helix, thereby creating a hairpin-like structure in the C-terminal half. There is a flexible hinge between the beta-sheet N-terminal region and the hairpin C-terminal region and one thus obtains two domains that may move relative to each other. The cationic N-terminal beta-sheet domain mediates binding of the pediocin-like AMPs to the target-cell surface through electrostatic interactions, while the more hydrophobic and amphiphilic C-terminal hairpin domain penetrates into the hydrophobic part of the target-cell membrane, thereby mediating leakage through the membrane. The hinge provides the structural flexibility that enables the C-terminal hairpin domain to dip into the hydrophobic part of the membrane. Despite extensive sequence similarities, these AMPs differ markedly in their target-cell specificity, and results obtained with hybrid AMPs indicate that the membrane-penetrating hairpin-like C-terminal domain is the major specificity determinant. Bacteria that produce pediocin-like AMPs also produce a 11-kDa cognate immunity protein that protects the producer. The immunity proteins are well-structured, 4-helix bundle cytosolic proteins. They show a high degree of specificity in that they largely recognize and confer immunity only to their cognate AMP and in some cases to a few AMPs that are closely related to their cognate AMP. The C-terminal half of the immunity proteins contains a domain that is involved in specific recognition of the C-terminal membrane-penetrating specificity-determining hairpin domain of the cognate AMP.
0, 1, 2, many &#x2014; A classroom occupancy monitoring system for smart public buildings (2014)

In recent years, research in IoT-enabled smart building solutions has accelerated significantly, thanks to the coming of age of wireless distributed sensing hardware, protocols and software. Moreover the computational capability of mobile and wireless platforms is now significant and complex tasks can be distributed and executed over remote low-power nodes. Data can be processed locally on-board to reduce network overhead and to increase architectural scalability. We present an heterogeneous sensor network that makes use of low power sensors and cameras to monitor a building's environmental conditions and to correlate them with the number of people inside the monitored environment. Occupancy monitoring is a critical missing link in smart buildings especially for rooms which may have large number of occupants (e.g. classrooms), because it heavily affects control strategies and impacts environmental conditions. Our system estimates the number of people in classrooms by using a novel people counting algorithm which runs in real-time, even on limited resources platforms. Finally, data is collected in a IoT-cloud-based infrastructure, and used to trigger remote actions.
Automatic Test Generation for LUSTRE/SCADE Programs (2008)

Lustre is a declarative, data-flow language, which is devoted to the specification of synchronous and real-time applications. It ensures efficient code generation and provides formal specification and verification facilities. A graphical tool dedicated to the development of critical embedded systems and often used by industries and professionals is SCADE (Safety Critical Application Development Environment). SCADE is a graphical environment based on the LUSTRE language and it allows the hierarchical definition of the system components and the automatic code generation. This research work is partially concerned with Lutess, a testing environment which automatically transforms formal specifications into test data generators.
A phase II, multicenter, randomized clinical trial to evaluate the efficacy and safety of bevacizumab in combination with either chemotherapy (docetaxel or pemetrexed) or erlotinib hydrochloride compared with chemotherapy alone for treatment of recurrent or refractory non-small cell lung cancer (2006)

7062 Background: Bevacizumab is a recombinant, humanized anti-VEGF MAb. Erlotinib is a potent, reversible, highly selective and orally available EGFR tyrosine-kinase inhibitor. Both compounds have demonstrated a survival benefit in the treatment of NSCLC: bevacizumab when added to chemotherapy in the first line setting, and erlotinib when given alone in the 2nd/3rd line. In addition, a single arm phase I/II study of the combination of bevacizumab and erlotinib has shown encouraging survival and response rate data, with a favorable safety profile (Sandler et al, PASCO 2004). Methods: A multicenter, randomized phase II trial was conducted to evaluate the safety of combining bevacizumab with chemotherapy (docetaxel or pemetrexed), or with erlotinib; and to make a preliminary assessment of the efficacy of combining bevacizumab with chemotherapy or erlotinib relative to chemotherapy alone, as measured by progression-free survival. All patients had histologically confirmed non-squamous NSCLC and had experienced disease progression (clinical or radiological) during or following one platinum-based regimen for advanced stage disease. Randomization was on a 1:1:1 basis to docetaxel or pemetrexed plus placebo (arm 1) v docetaxel or pemetrexed plus bevacizumab (arm 2) v bevacizumab plus erlotinib (arm 3). Patients remained in the treatment phase of the study until documented radiographic or clinical disease progression or through 52 weeks of study treatment. Results: Between August 2004 and November 2005, 120 patients were randomized and treated. To date, there have been 68/85 required PFS events; arms 1 and 2 therefore remain blinded. Demographics from the first 85 patients for arms 1 & 2 v 3 are as follows: median age 65 v 68;% male/female 64/36 v 44/56; ethnicity % white/black/asian/other 83/12/2/3 v 74/15/4/7; % ECOG PS 0/1/2 46/52/2 v 50/50/0; % adenocarcinoma/BAC&BAC-like/Other 67/7/26 v 69/8/23; % current/previous/never-smoker 15/71/14 v 11/74/15. Conclusions: Efficacy and safety results will be presented at the meeting. [Table: see text]

On Cache Prefetching Strategies For Integrated Infostation-Cellular Network (2006)

Infostations provide an inexpensive and high speed wireless disseminator that features discontinuous coverage by bounding many low cost, limited transmission range and high-bandwidth local wireless stations over an extended terrain. In this paper, we provide a system model in which several infostations are placed within the coverage area of a low bandwidth wide-area cellular network to form an integrated infostation-cellular network (IICN). In this model, the infostation continuously broadcasts data to its clients, while cellular network provides information to clients via explicit requests from clients. Based on this new model, we proposed a prefetching scheme that is capable of selectively prefetching information at client's local storage. From experimental results, the proposed model and technique show a reduction in number of requests made via expensive cellular network, thereby alleviating cost of wireless data access. Moreover, since the number of requests is reduced, the load on the cellular system is reduced. Further the cost of wireless data access is significantly reduced from both client and server perspectives
Chromosome number, oil and fatty acid content of species in the genus <i>Glycine</i> subgenus <i>Glycine</i> (1982)

Abstract Accessions of wild perennial species in Glycine subgenus Glycine were analyzed for chromosome number, oil and fatty acid content. The mean oil content appears to be quite similar in seed of those species with 2 n =40. The onlys pecies with appreciable variation in oil content was Glycine clandestina . The polyploid accessions (2 n =80) of G. tabacina and G. tomentella had about the same amount of oil as their diploid counterparts. The fatty acids detected in all seed of the 7 species in the subgenus Glycine include palmitic, stearic, oleic, linoleic, linolenic, arachidic and behenic. Among the species, the fatty acid content of G. clandestina was the most variable. Within the G. tabacina accessions, there was very little difference in fatty acid content between the diploid (2 n =40) and the tetraploid (2 n =80) accessions. Within the G. tomentella accessions, there were minor differences in fatty acid content between the aneuploid accessions (2 n =38 or 78) and their complete genome counterparts (2 n =40 or 80).

Ligand‐Promoted <i>meta</i>‐C−H Functionalization of Benzylamines (2017)

Abstract Meta‐C−H functionalization of benzylamines has been developed using a Pd II /transient mediator strategy. Using 2‐pyridone ligands and 2‐carbomethoxynorbornene (NBE‐CO 2 Me) as the mediator, arylation, amination, and chlorination of benzylamines are realized. This protocol features a broad substrate scope and is compatible with heterocylic coupling partners. Moreover, the loading of the Pd can be lowered to 2.5 mol % by using the optimal ligand.

A Digital Clock Re-Timing Circuit for On-Chip Source-Synchronous Serial Links (2006)

A new all-digital circuit scheme for clock and data re-timing functions for on-chip high-speed source synchronous data communications, such as in burst-mode data transmission over a network-on-chip is introduced. The new technique is non-PLL-based and is capable of retiming the output clock with the received data within one data transition. Being fully digital makes its area much smaller than conventional circuitry. It can also be described by any hardware description language, simulated, and synthesized into any digital process. This enables it to be ported from one technology to another and support system on a chip (SOC) designs. The design concept is demonstrated with T-Spice <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">reg</sup> simulations using a 0.13 mum digital CMOS technology.
