The Plague Makers (1995)

<h3>To the Editor.</h3> —I would like to respond to a few points raised by Dr Polly in his review of my book.<sup>1</sup> First, with regard to his characterization of the style of the book as resembling a supermarket tabloid, I would like to remind him that this book was written primarily for nonhealth care professionals. If it had been written in a drier style, the important message of the book—that the inappropriate use of antibiotics is putting us on the brink of disaster— would never have gotten out. If Polly thinks that this message is hyperbole, I refer him to an article<sup>2</sup>by Cohen that indicates he believes we are fast approaching the postantibiotic era. Clearly, not all infectious disease experts share Polly's opinion of my book—several respected authorities have endorsed it. As to my blaming the problem of antibiotic abuse on a misguided medical school curriculum, I
Apoptosis-Inducing Human-Origin Fcε-Bak Chimeric Proteins for Targeted Elimination of Mast Cells and Basophils: A New Approach for Allergy Treatment (2001)

During the past few years, many chimeric proteins have been developed to specifically target and kill cells expressing specific surface molecules. Generally these molecules carry a bacterial or plant toxin to destroy the unwanted cells. The major obstacle regarding these molecules in their clinical application is the immunogenicity and nonspecific toxicity associated with bacterial or plant toxins. We lately reported a new approach for construction of chimeric proteins: we successfully replaced bacterial or plant toxins with human apoptosis-inducing proteins. The resulting chimeras were shown to specifically induce apoptosis in the target cells. Taking advantage of the human apoptosis inducing proteins Bak and Bax as novel killing components, we have now constructed new chimeric proteins targeted against the human FcepsilonRI, expressed mainly on mast cells and basophils. These cells are the main effectors of the allergic response. Treatment of the target cells with the new chimeric proteins, termed Fcepsilon-Bak/Bax, had a dramatic effect on cell survival, causing apoptosis. The effect was specific to cells expressing the FcepsilonRI of both human and, very unexpectedly, also of mouse origin. Moreover, interaction of the chimeric proteins with the mast cells did not cause degranulation. Fcepsilon-Bak/Bax are new chimeric proteins of human origin and, as such, are expected to be both less immunogenic and less toxic and, thus, may be specific and efficient reagents for the treatment of allergic diseases.
Hybrid power sources for pulsed current applications (2001)

A battery-capacitor hybrid power source was discharged under pulsed current conditions and various ambient temperatures. Significant improvements in voltage drop and run time were obtained with the hybrid device over the battery alone. An equivalent circuit was established to evaluate the voltage behavior of the hybrid device. It was found that at the peak discharge current, as much as 50% of the total energy supplied was provided by a capacitor with only about one-third of the battery's volume.

Affine-invariant anisotropic detector for soft tissue tracking in minimally invasive surgery (2009)

Reliable feature tracking is important for accurate tissue deformation recovery, 3D anatomical registration and navigation in computer assisted minimally invasive surgical procedures. Despite a wide range of feature detectors developed in the computer vision community, direct application of these approaches to surgical navigation has shown significant difficulties due to the paucity of reliable feature landmarks coupled with free-form tissue deformation and contrastingly different visual appearances of changing surgical scenes. The purpose of this paper is to introduce an affine-invariant feature detector based on anisotropic features to ensure reliable and persistent feature tracking. A novel scale-space representation is proposed for scale adaptation based on the strength of the anisotropic pattern whereas affine adaptation relies on its intrinsic Fourier properties with an efficient spatial implementation based on the second moment matrix. The proposed detector is compared against the current state-of-the-art feature detectors and their respective performance is evaluated with in vivo video sequences recorded from robotic assisted minimally invasive surgical procedures.
Recent Applications of Electrocoagulation in Treatment of Water and Wastewater—A Review (2013)

During the last two decades, and particularly during the last few years, the environmental sector has shown a largely growing interest in the treatment of different types of water and wastewater by electrocoagulation (EC). The aim of this work was to review studies, conducted mainly during 2008-2011, on the wide and versatile range of feasible EC applications employed in the purification of different types of water and wastewater. The EC applications discussed here were divided into 7 following categories: tannery, textile and colored wastewater; pulp and paper industry wastewater; oily wastewater; food industry wastewater; other types of industrial wastewater; surface water as well as model water and wastewater containing heavy metals, nutrients, cyanide and other elements and ions. In addition, this paper presents an overview of the optimum process conditions (treatment times, current densities, and initial pH) and removal efficiencies (mostly high) achieved for the EC applications discussed. In the vast majority of the studies discussed in this review, the aforementioned values were found to be in the range of 5-60 min (typically less than 30 min), 10-150 A/m2 and near neutral pH, respectively. Both operating costs and electrical energy consumption values were found to vary greatly depending on the type of solution being treated, being between 0.004 -6.74 €/m3 and 0.002-58.0 kWh/m3, but in general they were rather low (typically around 0.1-1.0 €/m3 and 0.4-4.0 kWh/m3).
Chronic Daily Headache: A Rational Approach to a Challenging Problem (2003)

Chronic daily headache (CDH) is a significant public health problem with 3 to 5% of the population worldwide experiencing daily or near-daily headaches. Patients with CDH can be particularly challenging, and clinicians require a systematic approach to help guide investigations and management. The revised 2004 International Headache Society Classification Criteria introduces formalized criteria for several CDH disorders including chronic migraine and medication overuse headache as well as new daily persistent headache, hemicrania continua, hypnic headache, and SUNCT syndrome. Medication overuse is common in patients with CDH who present to physicians. Familiarity and comfort with drug-withdrawal and detoxification strategies is therefore essential. Patients with chronic migraine and chronic cluster experience significant disability and diminished quality of life. The ability to manage these patients effectively is a rewarding clinical experience.
Triterpene Alcohols and Sterols from the Fern Gleichenia japonica SPR. (1993)

Isolation and identification of five triterpene alcohols, twelve 4α-methylsterols, and seventeen sterols as acetyl derivatives from the unsaponifiable lipid of the methanol extract of Gleichenia japonica were described. This is the first report on the identification of (22E, 24R)-4α, 23-dimethyl-5α-ergosta-7, 22-dien-3β-ol (7-dehydrodinosterol) and(22E, 24R)-4α-methyl-5α-ergosta-7, 22-dien-3β-ol in a terrestrial plant.
The WK-Recursive Pyramid: An Efficient Network Topology (2006)

In this paper, we present and evaluate a new topology for interconnection networks which we refer to as WK-pyramid. This network has a recursive definition quite similar to that of conventional pyramid networks, but is based on the WK-recursive mesh. The traditional pyramid, a desirable network topology, was employed as both software data structure and hardware architecture. However, the new network topology which we propose has, in addition to almost all the properties of the pyramid, a number of superior properties, such as expandability to any base size. We show that this hierarchical topology is of interesting topological characteristics, making it suitable for utilization as the base topology of large-scale multicomputer systems.

Bioelectric Impedance Analysis in the Diagnosis of Vesicoureteral Reflux (2015)

Bladder and ureter can be considered as the third space. Thus, we think that BIA has been useful in discriminating children with VUR as there was no decreased in patients with VUR, although there was decreased TSF in patients without VUR. However, further studies are needed to increase the accuracy of this hypothesis.
Protection against <i>N</i>-nitrosodiethylamine and benzo[<i>a</i>]pyrene-induced forestomach and lung tumorigenesis in A/J mice by green tea (1993)

In recent years we and others have shown the cancer chemopreventive effects of green tea in several animal tumor models. In this study we assessed the cancer chemopreventive effects of water extract of green tea (WEGT) and the polyphenolic fraction (GTP) isolated from WEGT against N-nitrosodiethylamine (DEN)- and benzo[a]pyrene (BP)-induced forestomach and lung tumorigenesis in A/J mice. The protective effects, both in forestomach and lungs, were evident by a decrease in number of tumors and the percentage of mice with tumors when WEGT and GTP were fed to animals during initiation, post-initiation and entire period of tumorigenesis protocols. Oral feeding of 0.2% GTP in drinking water to mice afforded 68-82 and 39-66% protection against DEN- and BP-induced forestomach tumorigenesis respectively. In case of pulmonary tumor multiplicity caused by DEN and BP, the protective effects of GTP were between 38-43 and 25-46% respectively. Similarly, oral feeding of 2.5% WEGT to mice also afforded 80-85 and 61-71% protection against DEN- and BP-induced forestomach tumorigenesis respectively. In case of lung tumorigenesis, the protective effects of WEGT were 43-62 and 25-51% respectively. Histological studies of forestomach tumors showed significantly lower squamous cell carcinoma counts in GTP- and WEGT-fed groups of mice compared to carcinogen alone treated control group of mice. When pulmonary tumors were examined histologically, no adenocarcinomas were observed in GTP- and WEGT-fed groups of mice compared to 20% mice with adenocarcinomas in carcinogen alone treated control group. Oral feeding of GTP and WEGT in drinking water also showed significant enhancement in the activities of glutathione S-transferase and NADP(H): quinone reductase in liver, small bowel, stomach and lung. The results of this study suggest that green tea possesses chemopreventive effects against carcinogen-induced tumorigenesis in internal body organs, and that the mechanism of such effects may involve the enhancement of phase II and anti-oxidant enzyme systems.

Muscimol Inactivation of the Dorsal Hippocampus Impairs Contextual Retrieval of Fear Memory (1999)

Some models of hippocampal function have suggested a role of the hippocampus in contextual memory retrieval. We have examined this hypothesis by assessing the impact of reversible inactivation of the dorsal hippocampus (DH) on the context-specific expression of latent inhibition, a decrement in conditional responding produced by preexposure to a to-be-conditional stimulus. In Experiment 1, rats received tone preexposure either in the context that would later be used for extinction testing (context A) or in a different context (context C); a third group of rats did not receive tone preexposure. All rats then received fear conditioning, which consisted of tone-footshock pairings, in a third distinct context (context B). The following day conditional fear to the tone was assessed in one of the preexposure contexts (context A) by measuring freezing during a tone extinction test. Rats preexposed and tested in the same context exhibited less freezing to the tone than either rats preexposed and tested in different contexts or non-preexposed rats. These results indicate that the expression of latent inhibition is context specific. In Experiment 2, DH inactivation eliminated the context-specific expression of latent inhibition. Compared with saline-infused rats, rats infused with muscimol into the DH exhibited low levels of tone freezing independent of whether they had received tone preexposure in the test context or in a different context. Experiment 3 revealed normal contextual discrimination in rats after DH inactivation. These results suggest the DH is required for contextual memory retrieval in a latent inhibition paradigm.
Fast Alkene Functionalization In Vivo by Photoclick Chemistry: HOMO Lifting of Nitrile Imine Dipoles (2009)

Extremely fast fluorescence labeling (<1 min) of a recombinant alkene-encoded protein in living Escherichia coli cells was observed with tetrazole 1. The electron-donating methoxy substituent raises the energy of the highest occupied molecular orbital of the nitrile-imine intermediate derived from 1. This strategy greatly accelerates the functionalization of alkenes by 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition in living systems.

Q-clouds (2010)

Cloud computing offers users the ability to access large pools of computational and storage resources on demand. Multiple commercial clouds already allow businesses to replace, or supplement, privately owned IT assets, alleviating them from the burden of managing and maintaining these facilities. However, there are issues that must be addressed before this vision of utility computing can be fully realized. In existing systems, customers are charged based upon the amount of resources used or reserved, but no guarantees are made regarding the application level performance or quality-of-service (QoS) that the given resources will provide. As cloud providers continue to utilize virtualization technologies in their systems, this can become problematic. In particular, the consolidation of multiple customer applications onto multicore servers introduces performance interference between collocated workloads, significantly impacting application QoS. To address this challenge, we advocate that the cloud should transparently provision additional resources as necessary to achieve the performance that customers would have realized if they were running in isolation. Accordingly, we have developed Q-Clouds, a QoS-aware control framework that tunes resource allocations to mitigate performance interference effects. Q-Clouds uses online feedback to build a multi-input multi-output (MIMO) model that captures performance interference interactions, and uses it to perform closed loop resource management. In addition, we utilize this functionality to allow applications to specify multiple levels of QoS as application Q-states. For such applications, Q-Clouds dynamically provisions underutilized resources to enable elevated QoS levels, thereby improving system efficiency. Experimental evaluations of our solution using benchmark applications illustrate the benefits: performance interference is mitigated completely when feasible, and system utilization is improved by up to 35% using Q-states.

Anesthesia of the Ear by Iontophoresis of Lidocaine (1975)

Anesthesia of the tympanic membrane and ear canal by the use of iontophoresis of local anesthetics is a painless and safe method of anesthesia for office myringotomy and polyethylene tube insertion, and possibly for surgical use as well. With the use of guinea pig models, the introduction of 4% lidocaine hydrochloride solution in the middle ear space with iontophoresis revealed no toxic effects on the eighth nerve, and epinephrine hydrochloride potentiates the effects of lidocaine and has no protective mechanism on the eighth nerve function.

Analytical expression for large signal transfer function of an optically filtered analog link (2009)

We present an analytical expression for the transfer function of an optically-filtered radio frequency photonic link using phase modulation and coherent detection. This solution is applicable to quadrature passband signals and is significant for evaluating the distortion and consequently improving the linearity of such electrical-optical-electrical links. We show that the nonlinearity appears as an envelope distortion and discuss linearization techniques along with experimental validation.
Semantically enhanced searching and ranking on the desktop (2005)

Existing desktop search applications, trying to keep up with the rapidly increasing storage capacities of our hard disks, o#er an incomplete solution for the information retrieval. In this paper we describe our desktop search prototype, which enhances conventional full-text search with semantics and ranking modules. In this prototype we extract and store activity-based metadata explicitly as RDF annotations. Our main contributions are represented by the extensions we integrate into the Beagle desktop search infrastructure to exploit this additional contextual information for searching and ranking the resources on the desktop.

Family history of cancer (2007)

When healthcare providers are assessing cancer risk and making screening recommendations, they should take into account that among foreign-born patients, and especially nonwhite foreign-born patients, self-reported family history of cancer (FHC) may misrepresent their cancer risk. Failure to account for low rates of reporting FHC among immigrants could inadvertently contribute to existing disparities in cancer screening and use of genetic testing by immigrants and ethnic minorities.
Adsorption of nickel from aqueous solutions by activated carbons (1999)

Adsorption isotherms of Ni(II) ions from aqueous solutions of nickel nitrate in the concentration range 50-1000 mg/L on two samples of granulated and two samples of fibrous activated carbons associated with varying amounts of carbon-oxygen surface groups have been determined. The adsorption isotherms are Langmuir in shape showing an initial rapid adsorption tending to be constant at higher concentrations. The adsorption of Ni(II) ions increases on oxidation, and decreases on degassing of the carbons surface. The increase in adsorption on oxidation depends upon the nature of the oxidative treatment while the decrease on degassing depends upon the temperature of degassing. The adsorption is related directly to the amount of acidic surface oxygen groups present on the carbon surface.
Sub-150 nm, high-aspect-ratio features using near-field phase-shifting contact lithography (2003)

A simple technique, near-field phase shifting contact lithography, is described which can extend the resolution of contact lithography to less than 200 nm. Sub-150 nm, high-aspect-ratio features have been produced using chromeless phase-shifting masks, a Karl Suss MA-6 contact aligner and off-the-shelf SPR 510 photoresist. The technique is neither purely near field nor purely phase shifting considering subwavelength features have been patterned in resists whose thickness is twice the longest exposure wavelength. Conventional 5 in. chrome-on-quartz masks were reactive ion etched to generate precisely varied phase steps from 375 nm to 512 nm using standard CF4 etch chemistries and then stripped of chrome. These masks were then used to expose SPR 510 spun on bare silicon wafers to broadband and filtered UV irradiation. After development in an aqueous base developer, features were examined as a function of exposure wavelengths, shifter depth, resist thickness, resist type, exposure dose, and postexposure bake temperature and time. Features as small as 128 nm with aspect ratios of &gt;5:1 have been printed with this technique with minimal sidewall roughness.
