Harmonic analysis of a reduced SaskPower transmission network using an iterative approach (2002)

Studies concerned with the harmonic voltage profile calculation of an electric power system are reported. An iterative method is used for computing the harmonic voltage profile. The method is based on frequency-domain analysis in conjunction with fundamental load flow computations. The advantage of the iterative method is that it obtains a realistic harmonic voltage profile without the need for field measurements. Such a method is helpful in the planning of a power system or extension of an existing power system. The model of transmission lines used specifically lends itself to the determination of voltage profile on a long transmission line. The important concepts of conventional reactive power and distortion power are incorporated in order to determine interaction between the power system and harmonic generating sources. A reduced power transmission network of SaskPower is analyzed to illustrate the use of the algorithm.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>
Dosimetry of Non-Ionising Radiation (1983)

Abstract The increasing application of non-ionising radiations, such as radio- and microwaves, ultrasound, lasers and ultraviolet radiation, for example, requires more and more attention with regard to the dangers associated with their use. For this purpose studies are being performed on an increasing scale which correlate energy fluxes and/or absorption and temperature increases with biological effects. Techniques similar to the dosimetric methods in the field of ionising radiation are being developed which allow exposure limits to be measured. In some instances solid state detectors are utilised. An attempt is made to summarise worldwide efforts to measure non-ionising radiation quantitatively and to develop 'dosimetric' methods.
Targeted Deletion of MicroRNA-22 Promotes Stress-Induced Cardiac Dilation and Contractile Dysfunction (2012)

These data indicate that miR-22 functions as an integrator of Ca(2+) homeostasis and myofibrillar protein content during stress in the heart and shed light on the mechanisms that enhance propensity toward heart failure.
What Limits the Selectivity Attainable in the Catalysed Oxidation ofo-Xylene to Phthalic Anhydride? (1997)

The degree of selectivity obtained in the selective oxidation of o-xylene to phthalic anhydride by V2O5/TiO2 catalysts under industrial conditions is no more than 75–80%: the mechanism of the non-selective oxidation has commanded little interest. Principal features of the reaction and the catalyst are reviewed: the formation of polymeric by-products at low conversion, when the surface is not highly oxidised, is noted, as these will lead to carbon oxides, but at high conversion it is probable that adsorbed intermediate species may undergo side-reactions with reduced V sites, or exposed Ti ions. The resulting strongly-held species can only lead to carbon oxides, so that limiting factors may be (i) degree of completeness of the V2O5 monolayer, and (ii) the rate of re-oxidation of reduced surface. © 1997 SCI.
Characterization of Generalized Transducing Phage <i>φ</i>w39 Heteroimmune to Phage P1 in <i>Escherichia coli</i> W39 (1984)

Generalized transducing phage similar to phage P1 in Escherichia coli was isolated from E. coli W39, an antigenic test strain of the O121 group. This phage, designated phi w39, was reciprocally heteroimmune to phages P1 and P7, but nonreciprocally heteroimmune to phage D6. Transduction experiments using various R plasmids with different molecular weights suggested that phage phi w39 could transduce at least 65 megadaltons DNA. As in the case of P1 prophage, phi w39 prophage existed as a plasmid belonging to incompatibility group Y and carried a dnaB-like function. The molecular weight of phi w39 plasmid was nearly the same as that of plasmid, i.e., 58.6 megadaltons. Despite the pronounced structural and functional similarity of phages phi w39 and P1, restriction cleavage patterns of their genomes differed considerably.
Microbial Population Dynamics Associated with Crude-Oil Biodegradation in Diverse Soils (2006)

Soil bacterial population dynamics were examined in several crude-oil-contaminated soils to identify those organisms associated with alkane degradation and to assess patterns in microbial response across disparate soils. Seven soil types obtained from six geographically distinct areas of the United States (Arizona, Oregon, Indiana, Virginia, Oklahoma, and Montana) were used in controlled contamination experiments containing 2% (wt/wt) crude oil spiked with [1-(14)C]hexadecane. Microbial populations present during hydrocarbon degradation were analyzed using both 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis and by traditional methods for cultivating hydrocarbon-oxidizing bacteria. After a 50-day incubation, all seven soils showed comparable hydrocarbon depletion, where >80% of added crude oil was depleted and approximately 40 to 70% of added [(14)C]hexadecane was converted to (14)CO(2). However, the initial rates of hydrocarbon depletion differed up to 10-fold, and preferential utilization of shorter-chain-length n-alkanes relative to longer-chain-length n-alkanes was observed in some soils. Distinct microbial populations developed, concomitant with crude-oil depletion. Phylogenetically diverse bacterial populations were selected across different soils, many of which were identical to hydrocarbon-degrading isolates obtained from the same systems (e.g., Nocardioides albus, Collimonas sp., and Rhodococcus coprophilus). In several cases, soil type was shown to be an important determinant, defining specific microorganisms responding to hydrocarbon contamination. However, similar Rhodococcus erythropolis-like populations were observed in four of the seven soils and were the most common hydrocarbon-degrading organisms identified via cultivation.
APCVD-grown self-aligned SiGe-base HBTs (1993)

SiGe-base bipolar technology has emerged during the past few years and is now proceeding to qualify for advanced development and manufacturing. The authors review important aspects of device design, SiGe epitaxy, and transistor integration. A novel high-performance SiGe-base technology is presented as one way to address the upcoming challenges. The characteristic technology features ar the SiGe-base grown by atmospheric-pressure chemical vapor deposition (APCVD), the device doping profile with high base doping and low-doped emitter, and the self-aligned low-parasitic device structure which requires only a very low process thermal budget. The characteristics and performance of the experimental devices are discussed, and discussions are extended to manufacturability aspects of heterojunction bipolar transistors (HBTs) based on SiGe APCVD.
<title>3D imaging for Army applications</title> (2001)

The rapid development of laser radar technology combined with the challenging needs for Army sensors to support the Future Combat System has led to a number of applications for 3D imaging systems. These systems applications include obstacle detection, target recognition, locating targets under foliage, UGV route planning and navigation and terrain mapping. Each application requires different system parameters such as pulse energy, repetition rate, and field of view. A number of issues must be addressed in the design of a system including atmospheric effects, laser energy requirements, wavelength selection and field of view.
Engineering of a Stable Whole-Cell Biocatalyst Capable of ( <i>S</i> )-Styrene Oxide Formation for Continuous Two-Liquid-Phase Applications (1999)

Recombinant strains of Pseudomonas putida KT2440 carrying genetic expression cassettes with xylene oxygenase- and styrene monooxygenase-encoding genes on their chromosomes could be induced in shaking-flask experiments to specific activities that rivaled those of multicopy-plasmid-based Escherichia coli recombinants. Such strains maintained the introduced styrene oxidation activity in continuous two-liquid-phase cultures for at least 100 generations, although at a lower level than in the shaking-flask experiments. The data suggest that placement of target genes on the chromosome might be a suitable route for the construction of segregationally stable and highly active whole-cell biocatalysts.
High Resolution Capillary Electrophoresis of Forensic DNA Using a Non-Gel Sieving Buffer (1993)

Abstract For the routine application of capillary electrophoresis to forensic DNA analysis, a number of requirements must be met. In the analysis of DNA amplified by the polymerase chain reaction these requirements include high resolution and consistent and reproducible runs. Genetic markers of interest in this study reproducible runs more base pairs long with repeat unnits as small as 2 base pairs. Normally gel-filled columns are necessary to resolve such small differences in size, however these columns suffer from a limited lifetime and a buildup of impurities over time. This paper reports an alternative method using a non-gel sieving buffer prepared from hydroxyethyl cellulose. Application of this method illustrates that a refillable, coated, open tubular column can achieve the necessary separation technique to a number of genetic markers of interest in forensic DNA analysis.
Performance of LTE-A Uplink with Joint Reception and Inter-cell Interference Coordination (2013)

In LTE/LTE-A system, low frequency reuse factor is used to improve the spectral efficiency. In order to mitigate the inter-cell interference (ICI), inter-cell interference coordination (ICIC) is introduced which divides the bandwidth into a 1-reuse sub-bands for cell center users and -reuse sub-bands for cell edge users. ICIC technique has been considered as a promising technology for alleviating the degradation caused by ICI and improving throughput of cell edge users. Coordinated multipoint transmission/reception (CoMP) technique has been proposed in 3GPP release 11 to avoid ICI and enhance both system average and cell edge throughput. In this paper, we combine the ICIC with joint reception receiver together in uplink CoMP system to futher remove the multiuser and inter-cell interference. According to the requirement for exchanging received signals' information among cooperation base stations (BSs), two detection methods are proposed for uplink CoMP system. Simulation results illustate the performance of the proposed methods compared to that obained through ICIC and CoMP techniques.
Evaluation of a Leased Oyster Bottom in Mississippi Sound (1983)

Twenty-four pairs of spat plates, strategically located on a 600-ha (1500-a) oyster lease, were monitored biweekly to determine the rate of oyster spatfall. Spatfall occurred from May 6 to July 31 and again from August 15 to October 24, 1979. The greatest spatfall occurred from August 15 to September 4, 1979. Data from shell bags that accompanied the spat plates indicated a maximum growth of 3.2 cm in two months. Oyster spat which attached to the planted cultch materials on the leases grew up to 7.9 cm during the 17-month sampling period, ending December 11, 1979. The lease area is capable of producing commercial-sized oysters in two seasons.
Mitochondrial pathology in progressive cerebellar ataxia (2015)

A large proportion of patients (23 %) with progressive ataxia who underwent muscle biopsy were found to have features of mitochondrial dysfunction, with molecular confirmation in some. Muscle biopsy is a helpful diagnostic tool for mitochondrial disease in patients with progressive ataxia.
Method for determination of hydrogen peroxide, with its application illustrated by glucose assay. (1980)

We describe a simple colorimetric method for determining micromolar quantities of hydrogen peroxide, based on the oxidation of iodide in the presence of ammonium molybdate and photometry of the resulting blue starch-iodine complex. Color development is linearly dependent on analyte concentration, but only slightly time dependent, and the color of the complex formed is stable for several hours. In the range of wavelengths that may be used (570 to 630 nm), lack of interference from other biological compounds makes this method seem suitable for routine analyses. As one illustrative application of the method we quantitated glucose by measuring hydrogen peroxide produced from it by glucose oxidase catalysis. This method of quantitating glucose is more than five times as sensitive as the commonly used dianisidine method. With the appropriate hydrogen peroxide-producing oxidases, this method may be used to directly measure amino acids, purines, uric acid, xanthine, and hypoxanthine.
Toxin Pores Endocytosed During Plasma Membrane Repair Traffic into the Lumen of <scp>MVB</scp>s for Degradation (2011)

Cells permeabilized by the bacterial pore-forming toxin streptolysin O (SLO) reseal their plasma membrane in a Ca(2+) -dependent manner. Resealing involves Ca(2+) -dependent exocytosis of lysosomes, release of acid sphingomyelinase and rapid formation of endosomes that carry the transmembrane pores into the cell. The intracellular fate of the toxin-carrying endocytic vesicles, however, is still unknown. Here, we show that SLO pores removed from the plasma membrane by endocytosis are sorted into the lumen of lysosomes, where they are degraded. SLO-permeabilized cells contain elevated numbers of total endosomes, which increase gradually in size while transitioning from endosomes with flat clathrin coats to large multivesicular bodies (MVBs). Under conditions that allow endocytosis and plasma membrane repair, SLO is rapidly ubiquitinated and gradually degraded, in a process sensitive to inhibitors of lysosomal hydrolysis but not of proteasomes. The endosomes induced by SLO permeabilization become increasingly acidified and promote SLO degradation under normal conditions, but not in cells silenced for expression of Vps24, an ESCRT-III complex component required for the release of intraluminal vesicles into MVBs. Thus, cells dispose of SLO transmembrane pores by ubiquitination/ESCRT-dependent sorting into the lumen of late endosomes/lysosomes.
Development of Luminescent Europium(III) and Terbium(III) chelates of 2,2′:6′,2″‐ terpyridine derivatives for protein labelling (1993)

Abstract The synthesis and luminescence properties are reported for 20 different chelates composed of 2,2′:6′,2″‐terpyridine as the energy‐absorbing and donating group, Eu III and Tb III as the emitting ions, methylenenitrilo(acetic acids) as the stabel chelate‐forming moieties, and isothiocyanato or(4,6‐dichloro‐1,3,5‐triazin‐2‐yl)amino groups as the activated moieties for coupling to biomolecules.
A Scanning Micro-Mirror with an Adjustable Focal Length for Endoscope Applications (2014)

In this work, we report design, fabrication and characterization of a 3-D scanning micro-mirror device that combines 2-D beam scanning with focus control in the same device using micro-electro-mechanical-systems (MEMS) technology. The micro-mirror consists of a biaxial gimbal structure for 2-D beam scanning, and a deformable mirror membrane surface to achieve focus control. The micro-mirror with 800 micrometer diameter is designed to be sufficiently compact and efficient so that it can be incorporated into an endoscopic imaging probe. Using the focus-tracking MEMS scanning mirror, we achieved an optical scanning range of >16 degrees with <;40 V actuation voltage at resonance and a tunable focal length between infinity and 25 mm with <;100 V applied bias. We have also obtained imaging results using a micro-mirror with beam scanning-only function in both time-domain and spectral-domain optical coherence tomography systems.
Confirmation of Safety, Efficacy and Response Duration in Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma Patients Treated with 60 μg/m2/d of BiTE® Antibody Blinatumomab. (2009)

Abstract Abstract 2723 Poster Board II-699 Indolent and mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) are predominantly treated with chemotherapy or a combination of chemotherapy with monoclonal antibodies. Despite high initial response rates, eventually almost all patients however relapse, leaving the disease incurable. Moreover, with increasing numbers of regimens administered, the responsiveness of patients is reduced. Blinatumomab is a single-chain bispecific antibody construct with specificity for CD19 and CD3, belonging to the class of bispecific T cell engager (BiTE®). Here, we report on patients in an ongoing phase 1 trial treated at a dose of 60 μg/m2/d for 4–8-week by continuous i.v. infusion with single-agent blinatumomab. In total, 12 patients with indolent mainly follicular lymphoma or MCL were treated at 60 μg/m2/d during the first treatment cycle. 11/12 patients showed an objective response (7 PR and 4 CR). As of July 2009, median response duration was 12 months with 6 out of 11 responses still ongoing. The single non-responding patient experienced a reversible, neurological adverse event leading to early discontinuation of treatment. Of the 11 responders, one patient developed a port infection and 4 patients showed neurological symptoms, which were all fully reversible. In order to mitigate neurological adverse events during first dosing, which can occur in a defined subset of patients, patients were treated for 1–2 weeks with a lower initial dose (5 and/or 15 μg/m2/d) followed by a maintenance dose of 60 μg/m2/d. A lower starting dose appeared to ameliorate initial adverse events to an extent that treatment could be continued without interruption. Taken together, our data confirm a high single-agent activity of 60 μg/m2/d blinatumomab infused for 4–8 week with long lasting remissions and a favorable risk/benefit profile. The confirmed dose will be considered for further clinical development of blinatumomab in follicular lymphoma and MCL. New data on patients treated with a dose of 90 μg/m2/d will be presented.

Finishing Beef Steers on Forage Diets with Additives and Supplemental Lipid (1978)

Finishing beef cattle on forage diets was investigated in three factorial experiments involving a total of 154 steers. In the first experiment, rate of gain differed little between steers fed a diet of 94% ground alfalfa hay or 94% dehydrated alfalfa meal, or between steers fed the diets in ground or pelleted form. Steers fed 30 ppm dietary monensin3 consumed an equal quantity of feed daily but gained 25% faster (1.15 vs .92 kg, P<.001) than those not fed monensin. A hormonal implant of 200 mg progesterone and 20 mg estradiol benzoate (Synovex S3) stimulated average daily gain by 42% (.85 vs 1.21 kg, P<.001). The growth response to monensin and the hormonal implant were additive. The second experiment was conducted to verify the animal responses to monensin and the implant observed in experiment 1. The basal diet contained 96% ground alfalfa hay, and the growth rates of steers fed monensin or implanted were 21 and 35% greater, respectively, than control steers. Growth responses were additive in this experiment also. In the third experiment steers were fed either ground alfalfa or ground orchardgrass hay with 6% added animal fat or with a formaldehyde-protein-lipid complex3 added to also give 6% dietary animal fat. Steers fed alfalfa gained more weight than those fed orchardgrass (1.12 vs .56 kg, P<.001); the gain between lipid treatments was not different.
Studies of the reverse read method and second-bit effect of 2-bit/cell nitride-trapping device by quasi-two-dimensional model (2005)

The reverse read method and second-bit effect of the 2-bit/cell nitride-trapping device are comprehensively studied by a quasi-two-dimensional (2-D) model. Based on this model, analytical equations are derived to simulate the surface potential of the device with locally injected electrons. This model indicates that the reverse read method exploits the local drain-induced barrier lowering (DIBL) effect that reduces the potential barrier produced by the locally injected electrons. The experimental results of the two-region behavior of second-bit effect can be well explained and simulated by this analytical model. Two-dimensional numerical calculations are also carried out to verify these analytical equations. The impact of short-channel effect on the second-bit effect is also examined.
Spectral tuning of obelin bioluminescence by mutations of Trp92 (2003)

The Ca(2+)-regulated photoprotein obelin was substituted at Trp92 by His, Lys, Glu, and Arg. All mutants fold into stable conformations and produce bimodal bioluminescence spectra with enhanced contribution from a violet emission. The W92R mutant has an almost monomodal bioluminescence (lambdamax=390 nm) and monomodal fluorescence (lambdamax=425 nm) of the product. Results are interpreted by an excited state proton transfer mechanism involving the substituent side group and His22 in the binding cavity.
야뇨증에 대한 전침치료 동향 -1994-2010년 중국 임상 논문 중심으로 (2010)

Objectives: The study was designed to evaluate the effect of electroacupuncture on patients with nocturnal enuresis in China. Methods: We performed systematic reviews of case reports and case-control studies of electroacupuncture on patients with nocturnal enuresis published from 1994 to 2010 in CNKI(中國知識基礎施設工程 http://www.cnki.net) at September, 2010. Results: 18 studies were selected. The electroacupuncture points frequently used were Chungguk(中極), Kwanwon(關元), Samumgyo (三陰交), Shinsu(腎兪), Bangkwangsu(膀胱兪), etc. G6805 electroacupuncture instrument was most frequently used in those studies and the treating methods of electroacupuncture were various according to each study. The combination of electroacupuncture and other therapy showed better results than the simple therapies such as simple electroacupuncture or acupuncture, western medicine, herbal medicine, auricular therapy. Conclusions: There have been 18 studies of electroacupuncture on patients with nocturnal enuresis in China and these studies can be applied to the clinical practices in Korea.
Intrinsic Gap and Final-Double-Offer Arbitration (1992)

Abstract This paper discusses various arbitration procedures assuming that the two disputants are ignorant of their opponents' estimates about the arbitrator's fair point. A measure IG called intrinsic gap is introduced to describe the difference of two estimates. It is assumed that the arbitration offers the disputants give are solely based on their own estimates and are prudent, as defined in this paper. We then derive the prudent offers for three typical arbitration procedures Final-Offer Arbitration (FOA), Bmdmg ArbitratiOn (BA) and Combined Arbitration (CA). The results indicate that these arbitration procedures are not powerful enough, in the sense that their contract zones are all empty when IG is positive. Then we. propose a new procedure Final-Double-Offer Arbitration (FDOA) and show that it can mduce the existence of non-empty contract zone in some cases where IG is positive.
