Solid immersion terahertz imaging with sub-wavelength resolution (2017)

We have developed a method of solid immersion THz imaging—a non-contact technique employing the THz beam focused into evanescent-field volume and allowing strong reduction in the dimensions of THz caustic. We have combined numerical simulations and experimental studies to demonstrate a sub-wavelength 0.35λ0-resolution of the solid immersion THz imaging system compared to 0.85λ0-resolution of a standard imaging system, employing only an aspherical singlet. We have discussed the prospective of using the developed technique in various branches of THz science and technology, namely, for THz measurements of solid-state materials featuring sub-wavelength variations of physical properties, for highly accurate mapping of healthy and pathological tissues in THz medical diagnosis, for detection of sub-wavelength defects in THz non-destructive sensing, and for enhancement of THz nonlinear effects.
Reduction of Fasciculations in Patients With Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis With the Use of Gabapentin (1996)

Glutamate-mediated excitotoxicity is one of the mechanisms responsible for motor neuron damage in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. Decreased glutamate transport may result in elevated extracellular glutamate levels,<sup>1</sup>and both riluzole and gabapentin block presynaptic release of glutamine.<sup>2</sup>Riluzole prevents neuronal degeneration in vitro<sup>3</sup>and delays progression of disease in patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.<sup>4</sup>Fasciculations, a hallmark of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, are a manifestation of "sick" motor neurons. They typically decrease with progression of the disease. While waiting for riluzole to be made available, we have been using gabapentin for our patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis with the expectation that it will act like riluzole in preventing progression of disease. Of 31 patients who were prescribed gabapentin, 10 reported a decrease in fasciculations within 2 weeks of reaching the dose of 300 mg 3 times a day. In 5 of these patients, the reduction was described as
Plasma Homocysteine in the Acute and Convalescent Phases After Stroke (1995)

The post-acute-phase increase in plasma homocysteine may explain why higher values were obtained for stroke patients than for control subjects in previous studies. Possible reasons for the variation in plasma homocysteine concentrations over time are (1) an acute-phase reduction secondary to a decrease in plasma albumin and (2) an increase in plasma homocysteine during the convalescent phase due to modified vitamin intake and/or lifestyle. The timing of plasma homocysteine measurements relative to stroke onset is a factor to be considered in the interpretation of results.
Experiments with two‐phase plaque‐inhibiting mouthrinses (1995)

Reports indicate that oil/water mouthrinses with an aqueous phase containing an antibacterial agent, reduce the amount of volatile bacterial products in expiration air compared with aqueous mouthrinses. These systems have not, however, been tested concerning antiplaque activity. The aim of the present study was to examine the plaque-inhibiting effect of a mouthrinse with an aqueous phase containing 0.2% chlorhexidine (CHX) and an oily phase (soya oil) containing 0.3% triclosan. A test panel rinsed with the mouthrinses twice daily for 4 d. The mouthrinse containing CHX and triclosan in two phases was significantly better than the negative control (water). However, it was not as effective as the rinse consisting of an aqueous phase with chlorhexidine combined with an oily phase without triclosan. A two-phase mouthrinse with soya oil containing 0.3% triclosan was not superior to soya oil alone, and the combination of CHX and triclosan in a two-phase rinse was not as effective as 0.1% CHX alone in water. No beneficial effect on plaque inhibition could thus be found by using a two-phase system with two different antibacterial agents (one water soluble and one lipid soluble). Soya oil without triclosan rendered higher plaque inhibition than the control, presumably due to formation of a hydrophobic layer on the tooth surfaces.
DNA Prime and Virus-like Particle Boost From a Single H5N1 Strain Elicits Broadly Neutralizing Antibody Responses Against Head Region of H5 Hemagglutinin (2013)

Since 1996, highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) H5N1 virus has presented a persistent threat to public health. Its high degree of genetic diversity also poses enormous challenges in developing effective vaccines. To search for vaccine regimens that could elicit broadly neutralizing antibody responses against diverse HPAI H5N1 strains, in the present study we tested H5 hemagglutinin (HA) from an A/Thailand/1(KAN)-1/2004 strain in a heterologous prime-boost vaccination. We demonstrated that priming mice with DNA and boosting with virus-like particle induced antibody responses that cross-neutralize all reported clades and subclades of HPAI H5N1 viruses and protect mice from high lethal dose HPAI H5N1 challenge in both active and passive immunizations. Unexpectedly, cross-divergent H5 neutralizing antibodies are directed to the HA head and block both attachment and postattachment of virus entry. Thus, we conclude that as a promising pan-H5 vaccine candidate this prime-boost regimen could be further developed in ferrets and in humans.
A new approach to intranet search based on information extraction (2005)

This paper is concerned with 'intranet search'. By intranet search, we mean searching for information on an intranet within an organization. We have found that search needs on an intranet can be categorized into types, through an analysis of survey results and an analysis of search log data. The types include searching for definitions, persons, experts, and homepages. Traditional information retrieval only focuses on search of relevant documents, but not on search of special types of information. We propose a new approach to intranet search in which we search for information in each of the special types, in addition to the traditional relevance search. Information extraction technologies can play key roles in such kind of 'search by type' approach, because we must first extract from the documents the necessary information in each type. We have developed an intranet search system called 'Information Desk'. In the system, we try to address the most important types of search first - finding term definitions, homepages of groups or topics, employees' personal information and experts on topics. For each type of search, we use information extraction technologies to extract, fuse, and summarize information in advance. The system is in operation on the intranet of Microsoft and receives accesses from about 500 employees per month. Feedbacks from users and system logs show that users consider the approach useful and the system can really help people to find information. This paper describes the architecture, features, component technologies, and evaluation results of the system.
Midazolam for the treatment of phantom limb pain exacerbation: preliminary reports. (2001)

Phantom pain is one of the most difficult intractable pains to manage. The pain may result from the imbalance of self-sustaining neural activity that exceeds the inhibitory control. The management of acute severe exacerbation of phantom pain is extremely difficult. Midazolam acts by potentiation of gamma aminobutyric acid (GABA) and enhance the inhibitory action of glycine receptor at spinal neurons. We describe two preliminary reports of complete pain relief of severe phantom pain exacerbation by intravenous midazolam 3-5 mg.

Altering the Position of Phenyl Substitution to Adjust Film Morphology and Memory Device Performance (2015)

In this study, two structural isomers α-PBT and β-PBT, which only differ in the phenyl substituent position on the quinoline chromophore, have been designed and successfully synthesized. The influences of substituent position on the film morphology and the storage performance of the devices were investigated. Both molecules employed in the memory devices exhibited same nonvolatile binary (write-once-read-many-times; WORM) characteristics, but the switch threshold voltage (Vth) of the β-PBT-based device was clearly lower than that of the α-PBT-based device. Simulation results demonstrate that the variation of the phenyl substituent position led to different intermolecular stacking styles and thus to varied grain sizes for each film morphology. This work illustrates that altering the phenyl substituent position on the molecular backbone could improve the quality of the film morphology and reduce power consumption, which is good for the rational design of future advanced organic memory devices (OMDs).
Disulfiram modulated ROS–MAPK and NFκB pathways and targeted breast cancer cells with cancer stem cell-like properties (2011)

Disulfiram/copper inhibited BCSCs and enhanced cytotoxicity of PAC in BC cell lines. This may be caused by simultaneous induction of ROS and inhibition of NFκB.
The Vacuum-Operated Nutrient Delivery System: Hydroponics for Microgravity (1992)

A nutrient delivery system that may have applicability for growing plants in microgravity is described. The Vacuum-Operated Nutrient Delivery System (VONDS) draws nutrient solution across roots that are under a partial vacuum at approximately 91 kPa. Bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L. cv. Blue Lake 274) plants grown on the VONDS had consistently greater leaf area and higher root, stem, leaf, and pod dry weights than plants grown under nonvacuum control conditions. This study demonstrates the potential applicability of the VONDS for growing plants in microgravity for space biology experimentation and/or crop production.
Synthesis of Ethylene Glycol Dimethacrylate-Methyl Methacrylate Copolymers, Determination of their Reactivity Ratios, and a Study of Dopant and Temperature Effects on their Conductivities (2010)

Ultraviolet radiation was used as a photochemical initiator to synthesize ethylene glycol dimethacrylate-methyl methacrylate copolymers. Infrared spectroscopy was used to calculate reactivity ratios and to identify the type of copolymerization. The reactivity ratios of EGDMA and MMA were calculated as 0.6993 and 1.8635, respectively. The effect of lithium perchlorate as a dopant on copolymer conductivity and conversion was studied. The addition of dopant increased the conductivity of copolymers. For copolymers containing 5% MMA in the feed, dopant increased conductivity about 775 times; when the MMA percentage was 20% in the feed, dopant increased conductivity about 100 times. As MMA percentage increases in the copolymer, the conductivity values decrease from the mS to the µS region. This is consistent with the fact that PMMA has a lower conductivity than PEGDMA. The conductivity change of homopolymers and copolymers at various temperatures were studied. Both MMA and EGDMA polymers and their copolymers show a minimum in their conductivity vs. temperature graphs, indicating that they first act as a conductor and after a minimum temperature, become semiconductors and can be used to control current in electrical devices by temperature change. The measurement of conductivity change with time provided a new way to follow the kinetics of polymer/dopant reactions. The activation energy of interaction with dopant was calculated as 31.52 kJ/mol for MMA/EGDMA copolymers; for PEGDMA alone it was 54.7 kJ/mol.
Reducing Molecular Shuttling to a Single Dimension (2000)

An analogy with a cart on a roller coaster partially explains the shuttling motion of macrocycles in peptide rotaxanes. Just above the barrier to shuttling, the macrocycle statistically populates the “track” rather than the low-energy “stations” (see the potential energy curve). The dynamics of the movement is described in terms of a simplified one-dimensional model based on the solution of the relevant quantum-mechanical equation. x=position.
TRAFFIC CONFLICT STUDIES IN THE UNITED KINGDOM (1977)

Studies in the United Kingdom are mainly concerned with the development of the traffic conflict technique as a viable research and operational tool: (1) to obtain objective records of road user behaviour in situations for further analysis; (2) to provide a measure of safety to be used in and studies to evaluate accident countermeasures; (3) to evaluate the present state of a given location with respect to safety. Five grades of conflict severity are defined. The two methods of measurement: (1) observation of evasive action and (2) automatic detection of vehicle proximities from computer analysis of continuously recorded data from vehicle sensors, are discussed, particularly from the point of view of validity, reliability of observers, day to day variability and conflict types and differences in accident/conflict ratios. Some examples of before and after studies in the United Kingdom are given and possible future research is discussed. (TRRL)
Coordinated control of a designed <i>trans</i>‐acting ligase ribozyme by a loop–receptor interaction (2009)

We previously developed a synthetic cis-acting RNA ligase ribozyme with 3'-5' joining activity termed "DSL" (designed and selected ligase). DSL was easily transformed into a trans-acting form because of its highly modular architecture. In this study, we investigated the modular properties and turnover capabilities of a trans-acting DSL, tDSL-1/GUAA. tDSL-1/GUAA exhibited remarkably high activity compared with the parental cis-acting DSL, and it attained a high turnover number. Taken together, the results indicate that a loop-receptor interaction plays a significant role in determining the activity of the trans-acting ribozyme and in its ability to perform multiple turnovers of the reaction.

Autosomal dominant cerebellar ataxia with progressive pigmentary macular dystrophy (2001)

Autosomal dominant cerebellar ataxia (ADCA) associated with progressive macular degeneration, also designated olivo-ponto-cerebellar-atrophy type III (Konigsmark and Weiner, 1970) or ADCA type II (Harding, 1982, 1993), was initially described by Froment et al. (1937) and is characterized by heterogeneous clinical presentation, disease severity, and age at onset (Benomar et al., 1994; Enevoldson et al., 1994). Because of the retinopathy observed in most patients, this form of ADCA was considered to be a separate entity (OMIM database entry: 164500).
iSER Storage Target for Object-Based Storage Devices (2007)

In order to increase client capacity and performance, storage systems have begun to utilize the advantages offered by modern interconnects. Previously storage has been transported over costly fibre channel networks or ubiquitous but low performance Ethernet networks. However, with the adoption of the iSCSI extensions for RDMA (iSER) it is now possible to use RDMA based interconnects for storage while leveraging existing iSCSI tools and deployments. Building on previous work with an object-based storage device emulator using the iSCSI transport, we extend its functionality to include iSER. Using an RDMA transport brings with it many design issues including the need register memory to be used by the network, and how to bridge the quite different RDMA completion semantics with existing event management based on file descriptors. Experiments demonstrate reduced latency and greatly increased throughput compared to iSCSI implementations both on gigabit ethernet and on IP over InfiniBand.
Equilibrium study of "human" robot (2002)

In this paper we model, from a given attitude effect of intensional motion (arm perturbations), the equilibrium state of a human. For that, a multi-chain mechanical model of a human body is proposed with a general control architecture. The strategy is composed of two levels: the "coordinator" level and "legs and arms" level. The coordinator level is devoted to control leg movements and to ensure global stability of the robot. Actual perturbation effects threaten the equilibrium of the "human" and can be compensated using only a dynamic control strategy. This strategy is based on dynamic stability studies with a"centre of mass acceleration control" and a force distribution on each leg and each arm. We have emphasized both of these aspects and realized some simulations to demonstrate our approach.
The Use of Salt in Controlling the Distribution of Game (1938)

generally, if salt is easily accessible and well distributed. In the Clearwater basin of north Idaho, before the coming of the white man and for some time afterwards, game depended on the salt content of the water from mineral springs and on salt deposited by nature in dry licks. Actually in this area game did not get more than the minimum requirement for analyses of various mineral springs reveal that a thousand gallons of water contain less than 1 lb. of salt. Dry licks were of negligible importance for there is nowhere within the area any sign of great use. About 15 years ago it was noticed that big game was attracted to salt supplied for livestock and the plan was tried of distributing 2 tons of salt on known game ranges. This was put mostly near the natural licks on Moose Creek, Indian Creek, and Bear Creek, because there was no domestic stock in these areas.
Serif or Sans: Visual Font Analytics on Book Covers and Online Advertisements (2019)

In this paper, we conduct a large-scale study of font statistics in book covers and online advertisements. Through the statistical study, we try to understand how graphic designers relate fonts and content genres and identify the relationship between font styles, colors, and genres. We propose an automatic approach to extract font information from graphic designs by applying a sequence of character detection, style classification, and clustering techniques to the graphic designs. The extracted font information is accumulated together with genre information, such as romance or business, for further trend analysis. Through our unique empirical study, we show that the collected font statistics reveal interesting trends in terms of how typographic design represents the impression and the atmosphere of the content genres.
