End-Tidal Pco2 During Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (1990)

To the Editor.— The contribution by Sanders et al 1 strongly supports a series of earlier studies by our group, both experimental and clinical, on the rationale and hemodynamic significance of the end-tidal carbon dioxide tension (P ET CO 2 ) during cardiac arrest. 2-4 Sanders and colleagues also deserve recognition for having initially observed a close relationship between P ET CO 2 and coronary perfusion pressure, an observation that we subsequently confirmed. 5,6 The importance of the P ET CO 2 measurement may, however, have been understated by the authors if it is viewed primarily as a prognostic indicator. In our own experience, it is the continuous measurement of P ET CO 2 and the extent to which the P ET CO 2 is moderated by therapeutic interventions that provides unique opportunities for therapeutic decision making. Yes, in the final analysis, the failure to achieve viable P ET CO 2

Effect of intercalation and chromophore arrangement on the linear and nonlinear optical properties of model aminopyridine push–pull molecules (2015)

Three push–pull aminopyridine derivatives having D–π–A, D–(π–A)<sub>2</sub>, and D–(π–A)<sub>3</sub> arrangements were examined as model organic chromophores capable of intercalation into inorganic layered materials.
Differentiation of tumor types in vivo by scatterer property estimates and parametric images using ultrasound backscatter (2004)

Two kinds of solid tumors were acquired and scanned in vivo ultrasonically. The first tumor series consisted of spontaneous mammary tumors (fibroadenomas) in rats. The second tumor series were acquired by culturing a carcinoma cell line (4T1-MMT) in culture media. The scatterer properties of average scatterer diameter and acoustic concentration were estimated from a Gaussian form factor using the backscattered ultrasound measured from both kinds of tumors. Parametric images of the tumors were constructed utilizing the estimated scatterer properties for regions of interest inside the tumors. Differences between the two tumor types were clearly seen from the scatterer property estimates and the parametric images. Differences between the 10-MHz and 20-MHz estimates were due to the utilization of a more optimal ka range with the 20-MHz transducer in the estimator. Light microscopic evaluations of the fibroadenomas showed cellular structures of around 100 /spl mu/m in size, and carcinomas showed cell nuclei with an average size of approximately 15 /spl mu/m in diameter.
Diagnosis of Chlamydia pneumoniae infection in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease by micro-immunofluorescence and ELISA959 (1997)

The incidence of Chlamydia pneumoniae infection was determined in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases (COPD) by prospective serial serology. Chlamydia-specific IgG, IgM and IgA antibodies were detected with a recombinant DNA lipopolysaccharide (LPS) ELISA as well as with a micro-immunofluorescence (MIF) assay with C. pneumoniae elementary bodies. From 271 consecutive COPD patients who visited the outpatient clinic of the department of pulmonary diseases (211 males, 60 females, age range 34-88 years, mean age 66 SD 10 years), blood samples (n = 1058) were taken every 2-7 months; the observation period ranged from 3 to 19 months (mean 15 SD 4). The prevalence of chlamydial IgG was 72% with the MIF and 53% with the rDNA LPS ELISA. More than 90% of the COPD patients had no significant changes in their chlamydia-specific IgG, IgA and IgM titres in either test during the observation period. Seven (3%) patients had MIF results indicating acute C. pneumoniae infection during their surveillance period, of whom five were confirmed by rDNA LPS ELISA. Eleven (4%) additional patients were infected during observation, as determined by rDNA LPS ELISA only. These patients had significantly elevated C. pneumoniae-specific IgG and IgA MIF titres, as compared with the patients without infection. All 18 patients with serological evidence of acute infection during their surveillance period were re-tested in a commercial MIF test that can distinguish between C. pneumoniae, C. trachomatis and C. psittaci LPS-specific antibodies, but no evidence of C. trachomatis or C. psittaci infection was found. The incidence of chlamydial infection was 2.2 and 5.3/100 person-years, when diagnosed by MIF and rDNA LPS ELISA, respectively. It is concluded that the rDNA LPS chlamydia assay may currently be the most sensitive serological tool for diagnosing recent respiratory chlamydia infections and that C. pneumoniae infection occurs frequently in COPD patients.

Genotypic differences of nitrogen use efficiency in various types of indica rice (Oryza sativa L.) (2001)

Results showed that both nitrogen use efficiency for plant biomass (NUEp) and that for grain production (NUEg) varied significantly among cionventional varieties or hybrid combinations. The range of coefficient of variation (CV) of NUEp and NUEg was relatively wide, but the degree of variation among conventional varieties was greater than that among hybrid combinations. NUEp of conventional varieties and hybrid combinations at ripening stage was 28.2% and 13.3%, respectively, more than that at heading stage. Compared with conventional varieties, hybrid combinations possssed lower NUEp, higher NUEg and NHI. As grain yield level increased, NUEp, NUEg and their degrees of variation decreased but NHI increased. There exited close correlation between seed yield, biomass and total amount of nitrogen accumulated in rice plant and grain yield while biomass of conventional varieties which were also correlated closely with the amount of nitrogen accumulated before heading stage.
Multi-Constraint Mesh Partitioning for Contact/Impact Computations (2003)

We present a novel approach for decomposing contact/impact computations in which the mesh elements come in contact with each other during the course of the simulation. Effective decomposition of these computations poses a number of challenges as it needs to both balance the computations and minimize the amount of communication that is performed during the finite element and the contact search phase. Our approach achieves the first goal by partitioning the underlying mesh such that it simultaneously balances both the work that is performed during the finite element phase and that performed during contact search phase, while producing subdomains whose boundaries consist of piecewise axes-parallel lines or planes. The second goal is achieved by using a decision tree to decompose the space into rectangular or box-shaped regions that contain contact points from a single partition. Our experimental evaluation on a sequence of 100 meshes, shows that this new approach can reduce the overall communication overhead over existing algorithms.
Investigation of High Frequency AC Power Distribution Benefits for the Automobile Auxiliary Electrical System (2010)

This paper aims to indicate the advantages and any drawbacks of high frequency alternating current (HFAC) power for vehicle auxiliary electrical systems. Generally, benefits of HFAC include efficient power distribution and transformation, space and weight saving and load galvanic isolation. In addition, HFAC bus topologies are distributed to the point of use, lending the system to easy fault detection. The paper is structured as follows: first, the main findings of the most relevant automotive HFAC studies are outlined. Next, an HFAC architecture is proposed which is compared to the existing 14V and proposed 42V centralised DC networks in terms of power distribution efficiency and wiring harness weight saving. For this analysis, the case study of a medium-sized passenger vehicle is considered, and a group of intermittent and continuous auxiliary loads with a cumulative power of 2.8kW. The calculations over a 1200s drive cycle show that the power distribution efficiency for a 50kHz, 100V AC power bus increases by 90 per cent and 80 per cent compared to 14V and 42V DC topologies, respectively, and the wiring copper weight drops significantly by 70 per cent and 30 per cent, respectively.
Activity Recognition Using Temporal Optical Flow Convolutional Features and Multilayer LSTM (2018)

Nowadays digital surveillance systems are universally installed for continuously collecting enormous amounts of data, thereby requiring human monitoring for the identification of different activities and events. Smarter surveillance is the need of this era through which normal and abnormal activities can be automatically identified using artificial intelligence and computer vision technology. In this paper, we propose a framework for activity recognition in surveillance videos captured over industrial systems. The continuous surveillance video stream is first divided into important shots, where shots are selected using the proposed convolutional neural network (CNN) based human saliency features. Next, temporal features of an activity in the sequence of frames are extracted by utilizing the convolutional layers of a FlowNet2 CNN model. Finally, a multilayer long short-term memory is presented for learning long-term sequences in the temporal optical flow features for activity recognition. Experiments <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">11</sup> https://github.com/Aminullah6264/Activity_Rec_ML-LSTM. are conducted using different benchmark action and activity recognition datasets, and the results reveal the effectiveness of the proposed method for activity recognition in industrial settings compared with state-of-the-art methods.
Questionnaire-based analysis of growth-promoting attempts among children visiting a university growth clinic (2009)

Purpose : Growth-promoting attempts are widespread in Korea, but little is known about their prevalence or associated factors. This study was designed to assess the prevalence of growth-promoting attempts among children visiting a university growth clinic. Methods : A questionnaire-based survey was carried out with 823 children (416 boys, 407 girls) who visited the growth clinic at Paik Hospital. Results : The mean age of the subjects was 10.42.6 yr, and the height z-score was -1.580.91. Approximately 33.4% of the children had tried growth promotion. Among the height-gain methods, herbal medicine was the most frequently used (37.8%), followed by health-promoting supplements (37.1%), exercise or machine (3.0%), and growth hormone treatment (2.9 %). The mean age at which the parents began to worry about their children's height was 7.7 yr. The mean age at which they started height-gain methods was 8.9 yr for herbal medicine, 9.1 yr for health-promoting supplements, 9.4 yr for exercise or machine, and 9.9 yr for growth hormone treatment. Motivating factors included advice from relatives or friends (36.0%), advertisements in the Internet or newspaper (28.4%), advice from pharmacist (16.8%), and advice from their medical doctor (5.5%). The degree of satisfaction from the height-gain methods was 29.1% with growth hormone treatment, 6.6% with exercise or machine, 6.4% with herbal medicine, and 2.8% with growth-promoting supplements. Conclusion : Approximately one third of the children reported use of growth-promoting methods, but the satisfaction rate was not high. The benefits of growth-promoting methods should be carefully weighed against their costs and side effects.
MicroSPECT/CT imaging and pharmacokinetics of 188Re-(DXR)-liposome in human colorectal adenocarcinoma-bearing mice. (2010)

Nanoliposome can be designed as a drug delivery carrier to improve the pharmacological and therapeutic properties of drug administration. (188)Re-labeled nanoliposomes are useful for diagnostic imaging as well as for targeted radionuclide therapy. In this study, the in vivo nuclear imaging, pharmacokinetics and biodistribution of administered nanoliposomes were investigated as drug and radionuclide carriers for targeting solid tumor via intravenous (i.v.) administration. The radiotherapeutics ((188)Re-liposome) and radiochemotherapeutics ((188)Re-DXR-liposome) were i.v. administered to nude mice bearing human HT-29 colorectal adenocarcinoma xenografts. (188)Re-liposome and (188)Re-DXR-liposomes show similar biodistribution profile; both have higher tumor uptake, higher blood retention time, and lower excretion rate than (188)Re-N,N-bis(2-mercaptoethyl)-N',N'-diethylenediamine (BMEDA). In contrast to tumor uptake, the area under the curve (AUC) value of tumor for (188)Re-liposome and (188)Re-DXR-liposome was 16.5- and 11.5-fold higher than that of free (188)Re-BMEDA, respectively. Additionally, (188)Re-liposome and (188)Re-DXR-liposome had a higher tumor-to-muscle ratio at 24 h (14.4+/-2 .7 and 17.14+/-4.1, respectively) than (188)Re-BMEDA (1.6+/-0.1). The tumor targeting and distribution of (188)Re-(DXR)-liposome (representing (188)Re-DXR-liposome and (188)Re-liposome) can also be acquired by signal photon-emission computed tomography/computed tomography images as well as whole body autoradiograph. These results suggest that (188)Re-(DXR)-liposomes are potentially promising agents for passive targeting treatment of malignant disease.
Examination of the requirements for autostereoscopic, full parallax, 3D TV (1994)

A method capable of capturing a full parallax 3D image suitable for television display, based on an advanced form of integral imaging is reported. The resolution requirements necessary for electronic capture and display of the full parallax, images are investigated and compared with those proposed for high definition television (HDTV). An experiment has been conducted to establish the minimum level of pixelation sufficient to display 3D images. The results and microphotographic pixelated images are presented. Several image compression techniques applied to the special case of integral imaging are considered, and a suitable compression strategy suggested.
Induction of Liquid Crystal Orientation through Azobenzene-Containing Polymer Networks (1999)

A diacrylate monomer containing a core of azobenzene groups was synthesized. Thermal polymerizations of mixtures of the monomer dissolved in a nematic liquid crystal, E7, resulted in liquid crystals stabilized by an azobenzene-containing polymer network. When their thin films were irradiated by linearly polarized UV light at room temperature, as a result of the alignment of azobenzene groups on the network, a macroscopic orientation of E7 molecules was induced perpendicular to the UV polarization direction. Infrared dichroism was used to measure the liquid crystal orientation in irradiated films. It was found that the achievable orientation, observed after minutes of irradiation, increases with increasing polymer network density and that a significant degree of the induced orientation remains stable after turning off the irradiation. This approach represents a new means to control the average liquid crystal orientation in materials such as polymer-stabilized liquid crystals.
Advanced Interferometric Techniques for High-Resolution Bathymetry (2012)

Abstract Current high-resolution sidescan and multibeam sonars produce very large data sets. However, conventional interferometry-based bathymetry algorithms underestimate the potential information of such soundings, generally because they use small baselines to avoid phase ambiguity. Moreover, these algorithms limit the triangulation capabilities of multibeam echosounders (MBES) to the detection of one sample per beam, i.e., the zero-phase instant. In this paper, we argue that the correlation between signals plays a very important role in the exploration of a remotely observed scene. In the case of multibeam sonars, capabilities can be improved by using the interferometric signal as a continuous quantity. This allows consideration of many more useful soundings per beam and enriches understanding of the environment. To this end, continuous interferometry detection is compared here, from a statistical perspective, first with conventional interferometry-based algorithms and then with high-resolution methods such as the Multiple Signal Classification (MUSIC) algorithm. We demonstrate that a well-designed interferometry algorithm based on a coherence error model and an optimal array configuration permits a reduction in the number of beam formings (and therefore the computational cost) and an improvement in target detection (such as ship mooring cables or masts). A possible interferometry processing algorithm based on the complex correlation between received signals is tested on both sidescan sonars and MBESs and shows promising results for detection of small in-water targets.
Human sputum cathepsin B degrades proteoglycan, is inhibited by <i>α</i>2-macroglobulin and is modulated by neutrophil elastase cleavage of cathepsin B precursor and cystatin C (1991)

The high-Mr alkali-stable form of cathepsin B was purified from purulent human sputum. It was shown to solubilize proteoglycan monomer entrapped in polyacrylamide at a rate comparable with that of human lysosomal cathepsin B. Like the enzyme from lysosomes, sputum cathepsin B was bound by human alpha 2-macroglobulin, which inhibited its action on proteoglycan. Cystatin C in purulent sputum was shown to be the N-terminally truncated form generated by neutrophil elastase cleavage, and sputum cathepsin B was only weakly inhibited by recombinant cystatin C that had been cleaved by neutrophil elastase in vitro. Addition of neutrophil elastase to mucoid sputum led to a 5-fold increase in cathepsin B activity concomitant with a lowering in Mr of the cysteine proteinase from 40,000 to 37,000, i.e. the size of the active enzyme purified from purulent sputum. It is concluded that the high-Mr form of cathepsin B present in purulent sputum is a functional proteinase, unlike similar forms of the enzyme secreted by mammary gland in organ culture. The activity of cathepsin B in sputum is modulated by neutrophil elastase, by a combination of inhibitor inactivation and zymogen activation.
Secondary childhood acute myeloid leukemia with complex karyotypic anomalies including monosomy 7, monosomy 5 and translocation (1;10) after 131I-metaiodobenzylguanidine therapy for relapsed neuroblastoma. (2011)

The prognosis for relapsing or refractory neuroblastoma (NB) remains dismal, with a five-year disease-free survival of < 20%, and no effective salvage treatment has been identified so far. 131I-metaiodobenzylguanidine (131I-MIBG) has come to play an essential role in the imaging and therapy of NB over the past 30 years. The role of 131I-MIBG in the treatment of NB is continually expanding. 131I-MIBG treatment together with cumulative doses of other alkylating agents has potential serious late side effects such as myelodysplasia and leukemia, although rare. We describe a secondary acute myeloid leukemia case with complex karyotypic anomalies that included monosomy 5, monosomy 7 and translocation (1;10) in a child with relapsed NB who received therapeutic 131I-MIBG.
Tools and Techniques for Globally Unique Content Identification (2000)

The EHU/SMPTE Task force report highlighted the requirement for the unique identification of essence with the aim of tracking content throughout the television production process from acquisition to delivery. The term unique material identifier (UMID) was coined in order to be essentially different from the many unique program identifiers (UPID) that exist today. UPIDs rely on a registration process to assign numbers and these may be unique to an organization or (more recently) globally unique. UPIDs are a simple label whereas UMIDs identify every component part of a program and provide a linkage between the essence and its associated metadata. — This paper outlines the specification of the SMPTE UMID and shows how it can link metadata to essence in both streaming and storage applications. Even in a server-only-based solution, separation of metadata and essence is attractive from the viewpoint of access speed for program decisionmaking. Although the UMID is a key part of television production, it is essential to both analog and digital archives, where metadata is the key to speedy access of the desired material. The paper also addresses the operational issues arising from the introduction of the UMID into the program chain with particular regard to migration into existing systems.
Pixel Objectness: Learning to Segment Generic Objects Automatically in Images and Videos (2018)

We propose an end-to-end learning framework for segmenting generic objects in both images and videos. Given a novel image or video, our approach produces a pixel-level mask for all "object-like" regions---even for object categories never seen during training. We formulate the task as a structured prediction problem of assigning an object/background label to each pixel, implemented using a deep fully convolutional network. When applied to a video, our model further incorporates a motion stream, and the network learns to combine both appearance and motion and attempts to extract all prominent objects whether they are moving or not. Beyond the core model, a second contribution of our approach is how it leverages varying strengths of training annotations. Pixel-level annotations are quite difficult to obtain, yet crucial for training a deep network approach for segmentation. Thus we propose ways to exploit weakly labeled data for learning dense foreground segmentation. For images, we show the value in mixing object category examples with image-level labels together with relatively few images with boundary-level annotations. For video, we show how to bootstrap weakly annotated videos together with the network trained for image segmentation. Through experiments on multiple challenging image and video segmentation benchmarks, our method offers consistently strong results and improves the state-of-the-art for fully automatic segmentation of generic (unseen) objects. In addition, we demonstrate how our approach benefits image retrieval and image retargeting, both of which flourish when given our high-quality foreground maps.
