Evidence for social anxiety and impaired social cognition in a mouse model of fragile X syndrome. (2008)

This study assessed social behavior in a mouse model of Fragile X syndrome (FXS), the Fmr1 (tm1Cgr) or Fmr1 "knockout" (KO) mouse. Both the KO and wild-type (WT) mice preferred to be near a novel conspecific than to be alone. However, during the initial interaction with a novel conspecific, (1) a greater proportion of the KO mice exhibited high levels of grooming; and (2) the average duration of nose contact with the stimulus mouse was significantly shorter for the KO mice, both indicative of increased arousal and/or anxiety. Both groups exhibited a robust novelty preference when the novel animal was a "preferred" mouse. However, when the novel mouse was a "nonpreferred" animal, both groups showed a diminished novelty preference but this effect was more pronounced for the WT mice. This blunted negative reaction of the KO mice to a nonpreferred animal may indicate that they were less proficient than controls in distinguishing between positive and negative social interactions. These findings provide support for the use of this animal model to study the autistic features of FXS and autism spectrum disorders.
Phase center considerations for the monopole antenna (1986)

The quarter-wavelength monopole over an array of radial ground rods is analyzed using the method of moments to obtain the radiated field amplitude and phase characteristics. The phase center is calculated as a function of polar observation angle by finding the apparent center of curvature of the phase contour. It is found that the resulting phase center location is not confined to the monopole axis as has previously been suggested.
The extracellular matrix – the under‐recognized element in lung disease? (2016)

The lung is composed of airways and lung parenchyma, and the extracellular matrix (ECM) contains the main building blocks of both components. The ECM provides physical support and stability to the lung, and as such it has in the past been regarded as an inert structure. More recent research has provided novel insights revealing that the ECM is also a bioactive environment that orchestrates the cellular responses in its environs. Changes in the ECM in the airway or parenchymal tissues are now recognized in the pathological profiles of many respiratory diseases, including asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). Only recently have we begun to investigate whether these ECM changes result from the disease process, or whether they constitute a driving factor that orchestrates the pathological outcomes. This review summarizes our current knowledge of the alterations in the ECM in asthma, COPD, and IPF, and the contributions of these alterations to the pathologies. Emerging data suggest that alterations in the composition, folding or rigidity of ECM proteins may alter the functional responses of cells within their environs, and in so doing change the pathological outcomes. These characteristics highlight potential avenues for targeting lung pathologies in the future. This may ultimately contribute to a better understanding of chronic lung diseases, and novel approaches for finding therapeutic solutions. © 2016 The Authors.

Plasma Levels of Glucagon-Like Polypeptides in Gastrectomized Patients Transformed from Billroth II into Billroth I (1982)

An oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) has been performed in a group of patients with partial gastrectomy before and after transforming the anastomosis from Billroth type II (B II) into Billroth type I (B I). Glucose tolerance was normal in both groups. The statistically significant differences in blood glucose (BG) values observed at 30 min between B I and normals and at 30, 60 and 90 min between B II and normals occur without concomitant changes in insulin (IRI) plasma levels. In the course of the test a marked rise (statistically significant from 30 to 180 min) in glucagon-like immunoreactants (GLI) plasma levels was noted in B II patients and has been attributed to the rapid intestinal transit. Otherwise, the restoration of duodenal passage induced a clear decrease of GLI levels which returned to normal values. Increased immunoreactive glucagon (IRG) plasma levels in B II group do not seem to be due to cross-reactivity with GLI. The raised BG levels occurring in B II cannot be attributed either to a reduced insulin secretion or to an increase in biologically active components of glucagon.
Neural networks predict well inflow performance (2004)

Predicting well inflow performance relationship accurately is very important for production engineers. From these predictions, future plans for handling and improving well performance can be established. One method of predicting well inflow performance is to use artificial neural networks. \nVogel's reference curve, which is produced from a series of simulation runs for a reservoir model proposed by Weller, is typically used to predict inflow performance relationship for solution-gas-drive reservoirs. In this study, I reproduced Vogel's work, but instead of producing one curve by conventional regression, I built three neural network models. Two models predict the IPR efficiently with higher overall accuracy than Vogel's reference curve.
62.1L: <i>Late‐News Paper</i> : FPC‐free Panel with Capacitive Coupling for Transmission of Signal and Power (2008)

Abstract We have developed a FPC‐free LTPS‐LCD panel with capacitive coupling and displayed a QQVGA‐eight color static image for the first time, by utilizing our proposed digital coding architecture and LTPS low capacitance diode‐bridge. The maximum data‐rate of 2.4 Mbps × 3ch(RGB) and the power of 2.5 mW on the panel were obtained.
Multiple Object Class Detection with a Generative Model (2006)

In this paper we propose an approach capable of simultaneous recognition and localization of multiple object classes using a generative model. A novel hierarchical representation allows to represent individual images as well as various objects classes in a single, scale and rotation invariant model. The recognition method is based on a codebook representation where appearance clusters built from edge based features are shared among several object classes. A probabilistic model allows for reliable detection of various objects in the same image. The approach is highly efficient due to fast clustering and matching methods capable of dealing with millions of high dimensional features. The system shows excellent performance on several object categories over a wide range of scales, in-plane rotations, background clutter, and partial occlusions. The performance of the proposed multi-object class detection approach is competitive to state of the art approaches dedicated to a single object class recognition problem.
Interaction of hemorrhagic metalloproteinases with human .alpha.2-macroglobulin (1990)

The interaction between four Crotalus atrox hemorrhagic metalloproteinases and human alpha 2-macroglobulin was investigated. The proteolytic activity of the hemorrhagic toxins Ht-c, -d, and -e against the large molecular weight protein substrates, gelatin type I and collagen type IV, was completely inhibited by alpha 2-macroglobulin. The proteolytic activity of Ht-a against the same substrates was not significantly inhibited. Each mole of alpha 2-macroglobulin bound maximally 2 mol of Ht-e and 1.1 mol of Ht-c and Ht-d. These proteinases interacted with alpha 2-macroglobulin rapidly at 22 degrees C. Rate constants based on intrinsic fluorescence measurements were 0.62 X 10(5) M-1 s-1 for interaction of alpha 2-macroglobulin with Ht-c and -d and 2.3 X 10(5) M-1 s-1 for the interaction of alpha 2-macroglobulin with Ht-e. Ht-a interacted with alpha 2-macroglobulin very slowly at 22 degrees C. Increasing the temperature to 37 degrees C and prolonging the time of interaction with alpha 2-macroglobulin resulted in the formation of Mr 90,000 fragments and high molecular weight complexes (Mr greater than 180,000), in which Ht-a is covalently bound to the carboxy-terminal fragment of alpha 2-M. The identification of the sites of specific proteolysis of alpha 2-macroglobulin shows that the cleavage sites for the four metalloproteinases are within the bait region of alpha 2-macroglobulin. Ht-c and -d cleave only at one site, the Arg696-Leu697 peptide bond, which is also the site of cleavage for plasmin, thrombin, trypsin, and thermolysin. Ht-a cleaves alpha 2-macroglobulin primarily at the same site, but a secondary cleavage site at the His694-Ala695 peptide bond was also identified.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
[Detection of pulmonary tuberculosis in adolescents in institutions of the general medical network and efficacy of its treatment]. (1987)

Altogether 100 adolescents with TB detected on referral to general medical institutions were followed up. 30 patients with a clear-cut TB clinicoroentgenological pictures were referred to special hospitals. The rest 70 adolescents were followed up in general outpatients departments. The chief method of prehospital diagnosis verification was inefficacy of previous antiinflammatory therapy. 51 patients were not examined for tuberculosis (tuberculin test, chest x-ray, sputum investigation for tubercle bacilli, phthisiologist's consultation, etc.). Clinical evaluation showed that 47% had had previous contacts with tuberculosis patients, 33% demonstrated hyperergic sensitivity to tuberculin, in 21% the disease coincided with intensification of tuberculin reactions, 55% isolated tubercle bacilli. Initiated antituberculosis therapy alleviated the disease course in most of the patients. However, late diagnosis resulted in the formation of noticeable residual changes in a considerable proportion of patients. The results obtained indicate the necessity of close contacts between antituberculosis service and general health service to improve the effectiveness of adolescents therapy.
[Keratomileusis with a lamellar microkeratome and the excimer laser]. (1995)

In a combined prospective study with E. Arnott's department, intrastromal excimer keratomileusis on the lenticle stroma was performed in 15 eyes of 15 patients (follow-up 6 months). The primary keratectomy was performed using the lamellar automatic rotating microkeratome, followed by refractive modification by the excimer laser on the excised corneal discs. For the laser ablation, a repetition rate of 10 Hz and a fluence on the corneal plane of 180 mJ/cm2 was used. Following surgery, all treated eyes were subjected to guttae of Maxitrol q.i.d. for 12 weeks. Excimer laser intrastromal keratomileusis effectively combines corneal microsurgery and photoablation. The predictability of the refractive correction is better than with the other surgical keratomileusis techniques.

BBC select: a terrestrial subscription television service (1992)

The service is broadcast over the BBC's two terrestrial UHF transmitter networks, at night when the transmitters are not required for normal television. Video Crypt was chosen as the basis of the system. The service entitlements are held on a smart card. The data which is broadcast also carries service codes which tell the decoder which service is being broadcast and on which channel. The decoder can then switch to the appropriate channel, descramble the pictures and sound, and switch on the VCR.
Stability and Photoelectronic Properties of Layered Titanate Nanostructures (2009)

Layered titanate nanostructures offer promising photoelectronic properties that are subject to surface chemistry-induced morphology changes. For a systematic evaluation of the bulk and surface contributions to the photoactivity of these structures, we investigated their photoelectronic properties and in particular their dependence on the condition of the gas-solid interface. We comprehensively explored the stability of Na(2)Ti(3)O(7) nanowires and scrolled up H(2)Ti(3)O(7) nanotubes by means of transmission electron microscopy, Raman, and FT-IR spectroscopy and subjected both titanate sheet-based structures to controlled thermal activation treatment under high vacuum conditions. We found that throughout thermal annealing up to T = 870 K the structure and morphology of Na(2)Ti(3)O(7) nanowires are retained. Consistent with the significant photoluminescence emission that is attributed to radiative exciton annihilation in the bulk, UV-induced charge separation is strongly suppressed in these structures. H(2)Ti(3)O(7) nanotubes, however, undergo transformation into elongated anatase nanocrystals during annealing at temperatures T >OR= 670 K. Photoexcitation experiments in O(2) atmosphere reveal that these structures efficiently sustain the separation of photogenerated charges. Trends in the abundance of trapped holes and scavenged electrons were characterized quantitatively by tracking the concentration of paramagnetic O(-) and O(2)(-) species with electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy EPR, respectively. An incisive analysis of these results in comparison to those obtained on airborne anatase nanocrystals underlines the critical role of surface composition and structure on charge separation and, in consequence, on the chemical utilization of photogenerated charge carriers.
Network Planning and Architecture Analysis of Wavelength Blocking in Optical and Digital ROADM Networks (2007)

Detailed network planning analysis indicates wavelength blocking in all-optical ROADM networks incurs additional OEO for wavelength conversion, and constrains service reconfiguration. Analyses show that digital ROADM systems mitigate these problems and may provide greater service flexibility.
Fluid Loss Additive Seriously Reduces Fracture Proppant Conductivity and Formation Permeability (1973)

This paper was prepared for the 48th Annual Fall Meeting of the Society of Petroleum Engineers of AIME, to be held in Las Vegas, Nev., Sept. 30-Oct. 3, 1973. Permission to copy is restricted to an abstract of not more than 300 words. Illustrations may not be copied. The abstract should contain conspicuous acknowledgment of where and by whom the paper is presented. Publication elsewhere after publication in the JOURNAL OF PETROLEUM TECHNOLOGY or the SOCIETY OF PETROLEUM ENGINEERS JOURNAL is usually granted upon request to the Editor of the appropriate journal provided agreement to give proper credit is made. Discussion of this paper is invited. Three copies of any discussion should be sent to the Society of Petroleum Engineers office. Such discussion may be presented at the above meeting and, with the paper, may be considered for publication in one of the two SPE magazines. Abstract Fracture proppant conductivity can be severely impaired by certain fluid loss additives. Laboratory tests show this reduction in conductivity is frequently more than 50 percent, which tends to nullify any effect of percent, which tends to nullify any effect of fracture extent beyond a few feet from the wellbore. oil soluble additives appear be a possible solution to this problem. Other possible solution to this problem. Other experiments indicate that formation permeability is severely reduced at high permeability is severely reduced at high differential pressures. This damage to permeability would seriously impair the permeability would seriously impair the productivity of any zone which was not productivity of any zone which was not fractured. Introduction Hydraulic fracturing is a widely used and accepted method for stimulating the production from wells. The techniques and production from wells. The techniques and procedures, however, are constantly changing, procedures, however, are constantly changing, particularly in the past few years. Justification particularly in the past few years. Justification for using a new technique is naturally based upon its capacity to increase the production improvement from the stimulation. Of the multitude of variables which determine the effectiveness of a hydraulic fracturing operation, only a few are easily controlled—fracturing fluid properties (viscosity, fluid loss, etc), injection rate and type of proppant. These three parameters influence the fracture length and the fracture conductivity. Frequently, these variables are extremely difficult to evaluate from field results since tests on a large number of similar wells would be required. While a few of the new procedures have been documented with field tests, most of the recent changes in technique or procedure have been recommended on the basis of analog, mathematical or laboratory models of the fracturing process. Laboratory models were used in our investigation to study the effect that fracturing fluids, and more particularly fluid loss additives, have on productivity.
Low Power ASIC Design Using Voltage Scaling at the Logic Level (2003)

Dual supply voltage scaling (DSVS) for logic-level dynamic power optimization has increasingly attracted attention over the last few years.The first major objective of this work is to demonstrate that DSVS, in contrast to various supply and threshold voltage regulation and multiple threshold voltage techniques, is well suited to the design of standard-cellbased digital CMOS ASICs for the following reasons.Firstly, the technique can be fully automated in the logic synthesis process, which minimizes the additional design time.Secondly, DSVS can easily be integrated with existing ASIC design flows, provided that a suitably modeled dual supply voltage (DSV) standard cell library exists.Thirdly, no specific constraints are imposed on the choice of fabrication process, so that the technique can be applied to any circuit designed for mainstream bulk CMOS technologies.A novel power-driven logic synthesis methodology is proposed.The idea behind this methodology is to provide a DSV standard cell library that is modeled in such a way that the gate sizing functionality of existing tools can be exploited for DSVS.Since this approach renders dedicated DSVS algorithms superfluous, only little modification of established design flows is required.The important aspects of DSV library development are discussed.This includes the design of level-converting standard cells, different ways of modeling the dynamic power consumption, the modeling of pin connectivity constraints, and the characterization of low voltage and level-converting cells.
Design characteristics of SAB and DAB converters (2015)

High-frequency isolated DC-DC converters are gaining momentum in applications where the demand of isolation matches with that one of compact and light equipment. A seminal topology, constituted by two bridges operating at high frequency and coupled by a transformer, has emerged as an attractive solution that fulfills the above-mentioned demands. The two most popular versions of such a topology are the Single Active Bridge (SAB) and Dual Active Bridge (DAB) converters. This paper deals with the characteristics of the two converters that are helpful in designing their input and output filters, transistors and diodes. Explicitly, the peak-to-peak ripple and the rms value of the alternate component of current at the converter input and output as well as the peak, average and rms values of current through transistors and diodes of the converter are calculated. All the quantities are expressed as a function of the load current and voltage along the operating range, by referring to an application requiring a unidirectional power flow of buck type. A comparative analysis of the design characteristics of the two converters closes the paper.

Polarisation-insensitive operation of coherent FSK transmission system using polarisation diversity (1987)

Dynamic operation of an optical polarisation diversity receiver with a square-law baseband combining technique in the FSK system is demonstrated experimentally. It is confirmed that this scheme shows almost the same operation as the optimum maximal-ratio combining technique.
Computer-based personality judgments are more accurate than those made by humans (2015)

Judging others' personalities is an essential skill in successful social living, as personality is a key driver behind people's interactions, behaviors, and emotions. Although accurate personality judgments stem from social-cognitive skills, developments in machine learning show that computer models can also make valid judgments. This study compares the accuracy of human and computer-based personality judgments, using a sample of 86,220 volunteers who completed a 100-item personality questionnaire. We show that (i) computer predictions based on a generic digital footprint (Facebook Likes) are more accurate (r = 0.56) than those made by the participants' Facebook friends using a personality questionnaire (r = 0.49); (ii) computer models show higher interjudge agreement; and (iii) computer personality judgments have higher external validity when predicting life outcomes such as substance use, political attitudes, and physical health; for some outcomes, they even outperform the self-rated personality scores. Computers outpacing humans in personality judgment presents significant opportunities and challenges in the areas of psychological assessment, marketing, and privacy.
Propagation characteristics of a dielectric-coated coaxial helical waveguide in a lossy medium (1997)

In this paper, the authors discuss the propagation characteristics of a dielectric-coated coaxial helical waveguide in a lossy medium. The authors place emphases on the phase constant, propagation modes, magnetic fields distribution, and attenuation constant, when permittivity of the internal region is relatively small, two propagation modes exist and dominant components of their magnetic fields are different. Lastly, the authors discuss the relation between the attenuation constant and permittivities.
