Hickman Catheter Separation (1985)

Seven patients with Hickman/Broviac catheters implanted via the percutaneous subclavian route are reported to have had catheter separation and embolization; one catheter implanted via cephalic vein cutdown also separated. The method of percutaneous subclavian catheter insertion is briefly described, and the mechanism of catheter separation is discussed. Percutaneous insertion routes the silicone catheter between the clavicle and first rib, producing compressive/shearing force which can cause the catheter to break--usually after several months. Embolized catheter fragments can be retrieved with a percutaneous transfemoral venous snare. The described complication represents a 1% incidence. Recommendations to minimize this problem include: placement of subclavian puncture at or lateral to midclavicular line; chest x-rays at 2- to 3-month intervals to identify catheter indentation at the thoracic inlet; early removal of catheters for patients with radiologic evidence of significant catheter compression.
[Use of recorded music as a means of sensitization to empathic perception of affects in communication]. (1985)

The authors elaborate on a new technical mean they are experimenting in training students to feel and test their own empathic potentialities, using lieder and songs of unknown language to the subjects. Preliminary results of a content analysis of images and impressions recorded by a group of subjects support their endeavor to evaluate the evolution of the empathic-intuitive process.
Infrared‐based protein detection arrays for quantitative proteomics (2007)

The advancement of efficient technologies to comply with the needs of systems biology and drug discovery has so far not received adequate attention. A substantial bottleneck for the time-resolved quantitative description of signaling networks is the limited throughput and the inadequate sensitivity of currently established methods. Here, we present an improved protein microarray-based approach towards the sensitive detection of proteins in the fg-range which is based on signal detection in the near-infrared range. The high sensitivity of the assay permits the specific quantification of proteins derived from as little as only 20,000 cells with an error rate of only 5%. The capacity is limited to the analysis of up to 500 different samples per microarray. Protein abundance is determined qualitatively, and quantitatively, if recombinant protein is available. This novel approach was called IPAQ (infrared-based protein arrays with quantitative readout). IPAQ offers a highly sensitive experimental approach superior to the established standard protein quantification technologies, and is suitable for quantitative proteomics. Employing the IPAQ approach, a detailed analysis of activated signaling networks in biopsy samples and of crosstalk between signaling modules as required in drug discovery strategies can easily be performed.

Solubility of Flaws in Heavily-Doped Semiconductors (1960)

The solubility of a charged impurity in a semiconductor depends upon the Fermi level. This dependence may be understood in terms of a conceptual model in which an impurity is allowed to diffuse in a specimen containing a $p\ensuremath{-}n$ junction, so that the Fermi level varies in respect to the band edges. If the impurity can exist in many states of charge (i.e., is a "flaw"), then the concentration of flaws with charge $r$ times the electronic charge varies as the $r\mathrm{th}$ power of the hole density. Summing the concentrations for the different states of charge gives the solubility and its dependence upon hole concentration, and, hence, Fermi level.
Dietary patterns and risk of dementia (2007)

Frequent consumption of fruits and vegetables, fish, and omega-3 rich oils may decrease the risk of dementia and Alzheimer disease, especially among ApoE epsilon 4 noncarriers.
Conception and limits of robust perceptual hashing: towards side information assisted hash functions (2009)

In this paper, we consider some basic concepts behind the design of existing robust perceptual hashing techniques for content identification. We show the limits of robust hashing from the communication perspectives as well as propose an approach that is able to overcome these shortcomings in certain setups. The consideration is based on both achievable rate and probability of error. We use the fact that most robust hashing algorithms are based on dimensionality reduction using random projections and quantization. Therefore, we demonstrate the corresponding achievable rate and probability of error based on random projections and compare with the results for the direct domain. The effect of dimensionality reduction is studied and the corresponding approximations are provided based on the Johnson-Lindenstrauss lemma. Side-information assisted robust perceptual hashing is proposed as a solution to the above shortcomings.
Unique and Common Metabolites of Thiamethoxam, Clothianidin, and Dinotefuran in Mice (2006)

The established neonicotinoid insecticides have chloropyridylmethyl (imidacloprid, thiacloprid, acetamiprid, and nitenpyram), chlorothiazolylmethyl (thiamethoxam or TMX and clothianidin or CLO) or tetrahydrofuranylmethyl (dinotefuran or DIN) substituents. We recently reported the metabolic fate of the chloropyridylmethyl neonicotinoids in mice as the first half of a comparative study that now considers the chlorothiazolylmethyl and tetrahydrofuranylmethyl analogues. TMX, CLO, two desmethyl derivatives (TMX-dm and CLO-dm), and DIN were administered ip to mice at 20 mg/kg for characterization of metabolites and pharmacokinetic analysis of brain, liver, plasma, and urine by HPLC/DAD and LC/MSD. Each compound is excreted 19-55% unmetabolized in urine within 24 h, and tissue residues are largely dissipated by 4 h. Thirty-seven metabolites of TMX, TMX-dm, CLO, and CLO-dm are identified by comparison with synthetic standards or their structures are proposed by molecular weights and 35Cl:37Cl ratios often supplemented by previous reports or sequence studies in which intermediates are readministered. A facile reaction sequence involves TMX --> TMX-dm or CLO --> CLO-dm. CLO-dm, reported to be a contributor to TMX hepatocarcinogenesis in mice, is unexpectedly remethylated in part to CLO in brain. The nitrosoguanidine, aminoguanidine, and urea derivatives of the parent compounds are detected in the tissues and methylnitroguanidine, methylguanidine, and nitroguanidine in the urine. Chlorothiazolecarboxaldehyde from oxidative cleavage of TMX and CLO is quite persistent in brain, liver, and particularly plasma compared with chloropyridinecarboxaldehyde and tetrahydrofurancarboxaldehyde from the other neonicotinoids. Chlorothiazolecarboxylic acid is conjugated with glycine or glucuronic acid or converted to S-methyl and mercapturate derivatives. DIN metabolism involves nitro reduction, N-demethylation, N-methylene hydroxylation, and amine cleavage, and tetrahydrofuranylmethyl hydroxylation at the 2-, 4-, and 5-positions giving 29 tentatively identified metabolites. The diversity of biodegradable sites and multiple pathways insures against parent compound accumulation but provides intermediates reported to be active as nicotinic agonists and inducible nitric oxide synthase inhibitors.
FALCCM-H: Functional Avionics Life Cycle Cost Model for Hardware (2002)

Change is the only thing that is constant about avionics technology. It is this rapid, consistent change that presents such a serious challenge to cost analysts who must bridge the estimating gap between where we were, where we are, and where we're going in avionics acquisition. Technology changes too rapidly to allow accumulation of adequate historical data to keep existing estimating tools current. The estimating problem becomes even more difficult when available data is either insufficient, outdated, or not applicable. older technology, weight seemed to bear the strongest relationship to cost. With the trend towards smaller, lighter systems, even weight, our best predictor, is no longer valid. Logic dictates that we need realistic and consistent estimating parameters. Moreover, data relative to these parameters must be available and applicable to all avionics. Research and Management Technology, (RAMTech) Inc., located in Dayton, Ohio, has identified and tested ten parameters which appear to be valid cost drivers. The parameters are: function/sub-function; system performance; level of design integration; technology type; percent of new design; development schedule changes; weight; volume; design reliability; and nominal reliability. These parameters form the basis for the Functional Avionics Life Cycle Cost Model for Hardware (FALCCM-H) described in this paper.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>
Impairment of Glucose Tolerance in Yellow (A<sup><i>vy</i></sup>/A)(BALB/c × VY) F-l Hybrid Mice by Hyperglycemic Peptide(s) from Human Pituitary Glands* (1983)

A fraction of human pituitary extract containing low molecular weight peptide(s) was found to impair glucose tolerance in obese yellow (Avy/A) (BALB/c X VY) F-1 hybrid female mice. In these mice, purified human GH was not hyperglycemic. Glucose tolerance of untreated yellow mice was somewhat less impaired than that of untreated ob/ob mice, and priming with dexamethasone was not required to elicit impairment of glucose tolerance. The lean agouti (A/a) littermates of the yellow mice did not respond to the hyperglycemic peptide(s), suggesting that an insulin-resistant animal is required for assay of the pituitary hyperglycemic peptide(s). Plasma insulin levels of the obese yellow mice treated with the hyperglycemic peptide(s) were significantly decreased compared to those of saline-treated controls. No decrease in plasma insulin was observed in the similarly treated lean agouti mice. The study demonstrated that the yellow Avy/A (BALB/c X VY) F-1 hybrid mouse is a suitable animal for investigation of the physiological mechanism of action of the pituitary hyperglycemic peptide(s).

Hydroxytyrosol prevents dermal papilla cells inflammation under oxidative stress by inducing autophagy (2019)

Hydroxytyrosol (HT), a primary phenolic antioxidant in olive oil, can afford protection from oxidative stress (OS) in different cells, including skin cells. In particular, it regulates several inflammation-associated processes as well as in improving the antioxidant defense system. However, there is no information about HT used in the treatment of hair loss. This work aimed at exploring the potential protective actions of HT against OS in rat dermal papilla cells. After treatment, the related expression of protein and messenger RNA were detected using morphological and molecular analyses. The results showed that HT significantly reduced intracellular reactive oxygen species level, apoptotic markers and inflammation induced by OS and enhanced cell survival by regulating autophagy. Furthermore, HT enhanced the secretion of hair growth factors in the anti-inflammation process. These results suggest that HT has a significant protective ability against OS and encourage the use of this biological ingredient as a possible tool to prevent alopecia.
Questions and Answers about BSP (1997)

Bulk Synchronous Parallelism (BSP) is a parallel programming model that abstracts from low‐level program structures in favour of supersteps. A superstep consists of a set of independent local computations, followed by a global communication phase and a barrier synchronisation. Structuring programs in this way enables their costs to be accurately determined from a few simple architectural parameters, namely the permeability of the communication network to uniformly‐random traffic and the time to synchronise. Although permutation routing and barrier synch ronisations are widely regarded as inherently expensive, this is not the case. As a result, the structure imposed by BSP does not reduce performance, while bringing considerable benefits for application building. This paper answers the most common questions we are asked about BSP and justifies its claim to be a major step forward in parallel programming.
P0-15 Temperature Compensated Bulk Acoustic Wave Resonator and its Predictive 1D Acoustic Tool for RF Filtering (2007)

The design of bulk acoustic wave "BAW" resonators should take into account the stringent requirements of thermal effects. In this paper, we propose a thermal model, allowing the reduction of the Temperature Coefficient of Frequency "TCF" with a slightly modified process while retaining a good coupling and quality factor. For a significant reduction of the TCF, a SiO <sub xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">2</sub> layer is added above the upper electrode. A TCF of +1.5 ppm/degC was obtained at 2.08 GHz. The present accuracy of the ID model is approximately 1 ppm/degC. Most material parameters were extracted by comparison between the modeling and the measurement of BAW resonators with different stacks. To improve the dispersion of the TCF, the uniformity of each layer is introduced into the model. Firstly, the reduction of the top SiO <sub xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">2</sub> Bragg layer thickness dispersion from 2 % to 0.2 % is achieved, using an ion etching. The compensation of BAW resonators in our process has been improving for PCS diversity standard. This model was used to design a Personal Communications Service "PCS" RX diversity filter (1.93-1.99 GHz). The compensated loaded and unloaded resonators were used in the filtering function and present TCFs between 0.8 and -7 ppm/degC with a coupling factor of approximately 5.2 %.
Characterization of the photosynthetic pathway of some tropical food yams (Dioscorea spp.) using leaf natural <sup>13</sup>C abundance (2007)

A total of 23 genotypes belonging to seven tropical food yams and two wild relative species of different origin and coming from two sampling ecological zones (the Republic of Benin in Africa and Guadeloupe in the Caribbean) was analysed for their 13C content. The δ13C values for all yam samples (from -25.39 and -30.07 ‰) indicated that all species had a C3 photosynthetic type.

Thermal characterization of cloud workloads on a power-efficient server-on-chip (2012)

We propose a power-efficient many-core server-on-chip system with 3D-stacked Wide I/O DRAM targeting cloud workloads in datacenters. The integration of 3D-stacked Wide I/O DRAM on top of a logic die increases available memory bandwidth by using dense and fast Through-Silicon Vias (TSVs) instead of off-chip IOs, enabling faster data transfers at much lower energy per bit. We demonstrate a methodology that includes full-system microarchitectural modeling and rapid virtual physical prototyping with emphasis on the thermal analysis. Our findings show that while executing CPU-centric benchmarks (e.g. SPECInt and Dhrystone), the temperature in the server-on-chip (logic+DRAM) is in the range of 175-200°C at a power consumption of less than 20W, exceeding the reliable operating bounds without any cooling solutions, even with embedded cores. However, with real cloud workloads, the power density in the server-on-chip remains much below the temperatures reached by the CPU-centric workloads as a result of much lower power burnt by memory-intensive cloud workloads. We show that such a server-on-chip system is feasible with a low-cost passive heat sink eliminating the need for a high-cost active heat sink with an attached fan, creating an opportunity for overall cost and energy savings in datacenters.
Effective grayscale in lithographically scribed planar holographic Bragg reflectors (2003)

We demonstrate that holographic Bragg reflector grating structures, photolithographically scribed in planar waveguides, support a unique approach to apodization and overlay that uses fixed-depth etching and partial contour writing to achieve continuous reflective amplitude control.
Quality-aware HTTP adaptive streaming (2015)

In conventional HTTP adaptive streaming (HAS), a video content is encoded into multiple representations, and each of these representations is temporally segmented into small pieces. A streaming client makes its segment selections among the available representations mostly according to the measured network bandwidth and buffer fullness. This greatly simplifies the adaptation algorithm design, however, it does not optimize the viewer quality experience. Through experiments, we show that quality fluctuation is a common problem in HAS systems. Frequent and substantial fluctuations in quality are undesired and cause dissatisfaction, leading to revenue loss in both managed and unmanaged video services. In this paper, we argue that the impact of such quality fluctuations can be reduced if the natural variability of video content is taken into consideration. First, we examine the problem in detail and lay out a number of requirements to make such system work in practice. Then, we study the design of a client rate adaptation algorithm that yields consistent video quality even under varying network conditions. We show several results from experiments with a prototype solution. Our approach is an important step towards quality-aware HAS systems. A production-grade solution, however, needs better quality models for adaptive streaming. From this viewpoint, our study also brings up important questions for the community.
Transgenic mice expressing the diphtheria toxin receptor are sensitive to the toxin (2003)

Whereas diphtheria and the mechanism of action of diphtheria toxin, the bacterial molecule that induces the disease, have been studied and understood for some time, the receptor that allows animal cells to bind the toxin escaped identification until recently. The receptor was identified by its ability to confer toxin-sensitivity to mouse cells, which are normally toxin-resistant. Although mice are also naturally resistant, we now demonstrate that transgenic mice expressing the diphtheria toxin receptor are as sensitive to the toxin as are humans and other toxin-sensitive animals. These transgenic mice provide a suitable model for studying modern antidotes for diphtheria.
Liquid crystal optical phase plate with a variable in-plane gradient (2008)

We propose a nematic liquid crystal (LC) optical phase plate, with a large continuous in-plane gradient that is variable, and its application to a beam steering device with high efficiency. The device is a vertically aligned, continuous phase, optical phased array (V-COPA) that uses a negative dielectric anisotropy LC material. High steering efficiency of over 95% is demonstrated by modeling the LC director field and its effect on transmitted light. The period of the V-COPA grating can be varied by adjusting an applied voltage profile, which allows for continuous angular control of the diffraction angle.
Phenotypic characterisation of peripheral blood lymphoid cells in people exposed to fibrous zeolite. (1986)

Among inhabitants of the village of Karain in Turkey there is an extremely high incidence of malignant mesothelioma, most probably due to exposure to erionite, which is a fibrous zeolite and similar in appearance and properties to asbestos. This mineral may be found in the dust in the village. To characterise possible disturbances in the immune system of people exposed to fibrous zeolite, a phenotypic characterisation of lymphoid cells in the peripheral blood of 74 immigrants to Sweden from Karain was performed. Compared with normal controls, the mean percentages of Leu 4+ cells (Pan-T) and Leu 3a+ cells ("helper/inducer" T cells) were significantly decreased, whereas the mean percentage of Leu 2a+ cells ("suppressor/cytotoxic" T cells) was normal, leading to a significant reduction of the Leu 3a/Leu 2a subset ratio. The percentage of B cells (Leu 12+ cells) was significantly increased, whereas the percentages of both HLA-DR+ and HLA-DQ+ cells were normal. The percentage of natural killer cells (NK) and killer (K) cells as defined by the monoclonal anti-Leu 7 and anti-Leu 11b were also normal. These findings indicate that exposure to fibrous zeolite causes a numerical imbalance between the two phenotypically different T cell subsets similar to that seen in asbestos exposed individuals.
