Chronological Notes on Middle Comedy (1952)

My chief object in these notes is to provide evidence for tracing the ancestry of certain themes, situations, and characters which appear in New Comedy; I hope, however, that they may also be useful for the study of Middle Comedy itself. I am therefore chiefly concerned with the period from 400 b.c. to 320 b.c. , when Menander had begun to write; I have, however, given some dates after 320 which were necessary to complete my story, but I have left out many plays by poets of New Comedy which can be dated in the decade 320–310 b.c. I have also omitted the originals of Plautus Amphitruo, Persa , and Menaechmi , although I am convinced that they all belong to Middle Comedy and hope to consider the problem more fully elsewhere; the tactics of the battle in the Amphitruo (242 f.) are possible for Epameinondas and Philip as well as for Alexander, but the clash of two kings seems to limit the reference to Alexander and Dareios as depicted in the famous mosaic, and the limits are 330–320 (there is very little evidence of mythological comedy after 320); the original of the Persa must have been written before Alexander's conquests and the limits seem to be 345–338; Hueffher's late dating of the original of the Menaechmi has been successfully countered by Fraenkel and the whole feel of the play suggests Middle rather than New Comedy. The following list is arranged in decades, except where it has proved necessary to use a longer period. I have tabulated first the plays or victories dated by inscriptional or other firm evidence; among these I have included the plays dated by Geissler, without comment except where I disagree with him.
Cancer and Inflammation: Promise for Biologic Therapy (2010)

Cancers often arise as the end stage of inflammation in adults, but not in children. As such there is a complex interplay between host immune cells during neoplastic development, with both an ability to promote cancer and limit or eliminate it, most often complicit with the host. In humans, defining inflammation and the presence of inflammatory cells within or surrounding the tumor is a critical aspect of modern pathology. Groups defining staging for neoplasms are strongly encouraged to assess and incorporate measures of the presence of apoptosis, autophagy, and necrosis and also the nature and quality of the immune infiltrate. Both environmental and genetic factors enhance the risk of cigarette smoking, Helicobacter pylori, hepatitis B/C, human papilloma virus, solar irradiation, asbestos, pancreatitis, or other causes of chronic inflammation. Identifying suitable genetic polymorphisms in cytokines, cytokine receptors, and Toll-like receptors among other immune response genes is also seen as high value as genomic sequencing becomes less expensive. Animal models that incorporate and assess not only the genetic anlagen but also the inflammatory cells and the presence of microbial pathogens and damage-associated molecular pattern molecules are necessary. Identifying micro-RNAs involved in regulating the response to damage or injury are seen as highly promising. Although no therapeutic strategies to prevent or treat cancers based on insights into inflammatory pathways are currently approved for the common epithelial malignancies, there remains substantial interest in agents targeting COX2 or PPARgamma, ethyl pyruvate and steroids, and several novel agents on the horizon.
Drug release behavior of a pH/temperature sensitive calcium alginate/poly(N-acryloylglycine) bead with core-shelled structure (2010)

In this study, a novel pH/temperature sensitive hydrogel bead with core-shelled structure, composed of calcium alginate (Ca-alginate) and poly(N-acryloylglycine) (PAG), was prepared using as a drug delivery system. The equilibrium swelling has indicated the distinct sensitivities of the beads to pH value and temperature. In pH = 7.4 phosphate buffer solution (PBS), the cumulative release amount of indomethacin loaded in the core of the beads was about 83.5% within 650 min, whereas this value only reached 16.6% in pH = 2.1 PBS. In addition, the release rate of indomethacin was much faster at 37C than that at 24C. The experimental results have showed that the Ca-alginate/PAG beads have a potential application for the pH/temperature-controlled drug release carrier in the biomedical field.
The Overlooked Elephant of Object Detection: Open Set (2020)

Even though object detection is a popular area of research that has found considerable applications in the real world, it has some fundamental aspects that have never been formally discussed and experimented. One of the core aspects of evaluating object detectors has been the ability to avoid false detections. While major datasets like PASCAL VOC or MSCOCO extensively test the detectors on their ability to avoid false positives, they do not differentiate between their closed-set and open-set performance. Despite systems being trained to reject everything other than the classes of interest, unknown objects from the open world end up being incorrectly detected as known objects, often with very high confidence. This paper is the first to formalize the problem of open-set object detection and propose the first open-set object detection protocol. Moreover, the paper provides a new evaluation metric to analyze the performance of some state-of-the-art detectors and discusses their performance differences.
Standardization of Health Care Provider Competencies for Intrathecal Access Procedures (2014)

This simulation strategy resulted in improved confidence in measuring ICP, performance-related overall anxiety, and confidence in administering chemotherapy. Confirmation bias occurred during simulation testing for a medication error. We propose this method for maintaining clinical competencies in health care providers and introducing new skills to existing practices.
Constitutive expression of c-fos gene inhibits type 1 collagen synthesis in transfected osteoblasts (1992)

To clarify the contribution of c-fos DNA to bone formation, the effect of constitutive expression of the c-fos gene in collagen synthesis was examined by introducing c-fos DNA into osteoblastic MC3T3-E1 cells. The [3H] proline incorporation into the collagenase digestible protein(CDP) and the percent collagen synthesis were significantly decreased in the c-fos transfectants which constitutively express c-fos mRNA as compared with control transfectants. Transcription of type 1(alpha 1) collagen gene was also specifically decreased in the c-fos transfectants. This indicates that constitutive expression of c-fos DNA interferes with bone formation by inhibiting collagen synthesis in osteoblasts.
Precipitation of nanosized crystals CuBr and CuCl in potassium aluminoborate glasses (2012)

The precipitation of nanosized crystals CuBr and CuCl in potassium aluminoborate glasses containing additives of jointly introduced Cu and Br, as well as Cu and Cl, respectively, has been studied by the methods of small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) and X-ray powder diffraction (XRPD) analysis. It has been found that, upon thermal treatments at temperatures close to the glass transition temperature T g , halide phases precipitate in the form of liquid drops containing CuBr and KBr or CuCl and KCl. The presence of nanocrystals CuBr or CuCl, respectively, has been established in the samples at room temperature by the XRPD method. Liquidus, solidus, and crystallization onset temperatures in the regions of precipitated halide phases in heat treated glass samples have been determined from the temperature dependences of SAXS intensity. The liquid released upon the heat treatment inside a matrix of potassium aluminoborate glass remains in the state of a supercooled liquid at temperatures essentially below the solidus temperature. At the drop sizes of the order of 10 nm, crystallization processes in them start at temperatures of 40–85°C.
Prolactin acts as a potent survival factor against C2-ceramide-induced apoptosis in human granulosa cells (2003)

Prolactin may contribute significantly to early corpus luteum formation and survival by acting as a potent antiapoptotic factor for human granulosa cells.
Mapping of matrix metalloproteinase cleavage sites on syndecan‐1 and syndecan‐4 ectodomains (2013)

Syndecans are transmembrane heparan sulfate proteoglycans with roles in cell proliferation, differentiation, adhesion, and migration. They have been associated with multiple functions in tumour progression, through their ability to interact with a wide range of ligands as well as other receptors, which makes them key effectors in the pericellular microenvironment. Extracellular shedding of syndecans by tumour-associated matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) may have an important role in tumour progression. Such ectodomain shedding generates soluble ectodomains that may function as paracrine or autocrine effectors, or as competitive inhibitors of the intact proteoglycan. Tumour-associated MMPs are shown here to cleave the ectodomains of human syndecan-1 and syndecan-4. Two membrane proximal regions of both syndecan-1 and syndecan-4 are favoured MMP cleavage sites, six and 15 residues from the transmembrane domain. Other sites are 35-40 residues C-terminal from the heparan sulfate chain substitution sites in both syndecans. The MT1-MMP cleavage sites in syndecan-1 and syndecan-4 were confirmed by site-directed mutagenesis. These findings provide insights into the characteristics of syndecan shedding.
Seed crystals and catalyzed epitaxy of single-walled carbon nanotubes (2004)

This thesis demonstrates the continued growth of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) from seeded SWNTs in a way analogous to epitaxy or cloning; that is, the SWNTs grow as a seamless extension to the existing seeded SWNTs and have the same diameter and chirality as those of the SWNT seeds. The experiments were carried out in three key steps, including: (1) preparing a macroscopic array of open-ended SWNTs; (2) reductively docking transition metals as a catalyst to the nanometer-sized open ends; and then (3) heating the whole up to 700--850&deg;C in the presence of a carbon feedstock such as ethanol or ethylene. The resulting SWNT ropes inherit the diameters and chirality from the seeded SWNTs, as indicated by the closely matched frequencies of Raman radial breathing modes before and after the growth. As a control, only sparse nanotubes grew from closed-ended SWNTs, ruling out spontaneous nucleation as a dominating mechanism in our experiments. This experiment proved for the first time the growth of SWNTs can be separated from the nucleation step. The ability to separate the typically inefficient nucleation step from the growth of SWNTs and to restart the growth opens the possibility of amplifying SWNTs with only the desired (n, m).\nThe success in the continued growth was enabled with the creation of macroscopic arrays of open-ended SWNTs from a neat SWNT fiber. A variety of techniques including cryo-microtoming and surface etching chemistry have been developed to produce a macroscopic (&sim;1200mum2), aligned, and clean---largely free of amorphous carbon, oxides, and metal residuals---SWNT substrate with open-ended SWNTs aligned along the fiber axis. Alternatively, the fiber was milled perpendicular to the fiber axis with a gallium focused ion beam to produce a planar, free-standing, ultra-thin, "bed-of-nails" SWNT membrane---a single layer of parallel SWNTs densely packed and aligned along the normal of the membrane.
Embarazo múltiple. Presentación de un caso. (2009)

We present a case of a 34-year-old white female patient, of rural origins, with a history of 3rd degree bronchial asthma and respiratory arrests for that cause, who has required several admissions in the ICU. Gestation history 1, no deliveries, 1 abortion and secondary infertility, for which she was treated, along with her spouse, in the infertility consultation, in which ovulation disorders were diagnosed, consisting of bilateral tubaric obstruction on her and severe oligospermia on her spouse, for which they underwent combined surgical treatment. Tubaric permeability with hydrotubation was first accomplished, then ovulation and spermatogenesis with clomiphene citrate and then low-technology fertilization was performed, resulting in a quadruple pregnancy, which satisfactorily arrived to full term at 34 weeks of gestation. Due to the mother’s medical history, the risks involved in this type of pregnancy and its happy outcome, we decided to publish the case.
Implantation Induced Selective Chemical Etching of Indium Phosphide (2001)

Single-crystal indium phosphide wafer samples have been implanted through a stencil mask with single energy indium ions at 2, 5, and 8 MeV to fluences of 2, 2, and respectively. Specimens were then etched in a concentrated solution of at room temperature. Selective etching of the implanted regions resulted in transfer of the mask pattern to the InP substrate. Etch rates were determined from step height profilometry measurements across the patterned surface. A wet chemical etch rate of was observed for the ion implanted material, a rate three orders of magnitude higher than the 2 nm/min measured for unimplanted single crystal material. © 2001 The Electrochemical Society.

Analytical and Clinical Evaluation of a New Urinary Tumor Marker: Bladder Tumor Fibronectin in Diagnosis and Follow-up of Bladder Cancer (2003)

Bladder cancer is the fourth most common malignant neoplasm in men and the tenth most common in women. Cystoscopy presents the gold standard for detection and monitoring of bladder cancer. However, it is an invasive and expensive procedure. Therefore, development of biomarkers for the purposes of screening, diagnosis and prediction of the prognosis in bladder cancer is required. Bladder tumor fibronectin is one of the new urinary tumor markers. The aim of this study is to evaluate the diagnostic performance of urinary bladder tumor fibronectin in detecting and monitoring bladder cancer. A total of 75 patients with the diagnosis of bladder cancer, 20 patients with the diagnosis of benign prostatic hyperplasia, 7 patients with the diagnosis of prostate cancer between the years 1996-2000, and 28 age-matched healthy individuals, were enrolled in the study. The patients were diagnosed by cystoscopy, with histopathological evaluation of the tumor, as having superficial or invasive bladder cancer. Patients were followed-up clinically with data pertinent to disease recurrence and progression. Bladder tumor fibronectin (BTF; ng/ml) was determined by solid phase, two-site chemiluminescent immunometric commercial diagnostic assay developed for the Immulite automated immunoassay system (Diagnostic Products Corporation, Los Angeles, CA, USA). All measured values were normalized by urinary creatinine, and the obtained data were evaluated by receiver-operating characteristics (ROC) curve analysis. Optimal cut-off was established at 43.4 ng/mg. This cut-off rendered overall sensitivities of 72% and specificity of 82.1%. The analytical evaluation of the BTF test displayed promising results in terms of a non-invasive in vitro test in the diagnosis of bladder cancer. Although it was not satisfactory in prediction of recurrence or progression of the disease, it correlated well with the stage, one of the most reliable prognostic factors. In conclusion, the urinary bladder tumor fibronectin test warrants further clinical evaluation.
Single-Walled Carbon Nanotube Pirani Gauges Prepared by DEP Assembly (2013)

This paper reports the design, fabrication, and characteristics of the single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) Pirani gauge fabricated by dielectrophoretic assembly first which requires simple equipments and process, costs little, and operates at room temperature without limitation on the materials of electrode and substrate. Its theory and design were described in detail. The characteristics were measured and analyzed systematically such as current-voltage, resistance-temperature, thermal response, resistance-pressure, and power consumption properties. The results show that this SWNTs Pirani gauge has rapid thermal response of milliseconds and can operate at very low power consumption down to 15 nW. It reveals a wide linear dynamic range from 0.8 to 80 000 Pa and high sensitivity about 8 kΩ/Pa on average.

Ultralight shape-recovering plate mechanical metamaterials (2015)

Unusual mechanical properties of mechanical metamaterials are determined by their carefully designed and tightly controlled geometry at the macro- or nanoscale. We introduce a class of nanoscale mechanical metamaterials created by forming continuous corrugated plates out of ultrathin films. Using a periodic three-dimensional architecture characteristic of mechanical metamaterials, we fabricate free-standing plates up to 2 cm in size out of aluminium oxide films as thin as 25 nm. The plates are formed by atomic layer deposition of ultrathin alumina films on a lithographically patterned silicon wafer, followed by complete removal of the silicon substrate. Unlike unpatterned ultrathin films, which tend to warp or even roll up because of residual stress gradients, our plate metamaterials can be engineered to be extremely flat. They weigh as little as 0.1 g cm(-2) and have the ability to 'pop-back' to their original shape without damage even after undergoing multiple sharp bends of more than 90°.

Crigler-Najjar syndrome type II is inherited both as a dominant and as a recessive trait (1996)

Crigler-Najjar syndrome type II (CN-II) is caused by a severely reduced hepatic activity of bilirubin UDP-glucuronosyltransferase (UGT). Recently, by the analysis of the genetic background of CN-II patients, it has been clarified that the patients carry homozygous missense mutations or nonsense plus missense mutations on the gene for UGT, and CN-II was inherited as an autosomal recessive trait. We encountered a new case which had a nonsense mutation caused by a single nucleotide substitution on one allele. This indicates that CN-II is also inherited as a dominant trait as well as a recessive trait. Expression study in vitro strongly suggests that the disease in this case is caused by a dominant negative mutation by forming a heterologous subunit structure.
Original Article The Comparison of Predominant Oral Micro-Flora in Subjects with and without Complete Denture Referred to Yazd Dentistry Department (2014)

Introduction: Human oral cavity consist a mass of microorganisms, which may altered by application the complete removable denture in edentulous patients. The aim of present study was to compare the dominant oral micro-flora between edentulous denture users with dentate elderlyThe aim of the present study was to compare the dominant oral micro-flora between edentulous denture users with dentate elderly. Materials and Method: In the current analytical, cross-sectional study, 30 edentulous patients with complete removable denture and 30 dentate subjects, who had been admitted for non-prosthetic treatments, were randomly selected in Yazd dentistry department. Their oral cavity samples were obtained using sterile cotton-tip swabs for direct smear analysis and cultivation on the selective fungal and bacterial media. Isolated predominant bacteria and fungi were enumerated and identified by microbiological differential diagnosis tests. The data were analyzed with SPSS software with T test and the differences were considered statistically significant when p<0.05. Results: The non-aureus staphylococcus and alpha-hemolytic streptococci showed the highest positive culture among the isolated microorganisms in both groups whereas beta hemolytic streptococci showed the least percentage of isolated microorganisms in both groups. The higher density of non-aureus Staphylococci, α-hemolitic Streptococci, Gram negative cocobasillus, non-pathogenic Neisseria, Candida and Corynebacterium were recovered from oral samples of denture users in comparison with dentate subjects (P= 0.0001). A statistically significant correlation between the number of isolated microorganisms and the duration of denture utilization in denture users was also seen (P=0.013). Conclusion: The results of the present study showed that complete denture can act as a predisposal factor in the overgrowth of several oral micro-flora particularly Candida, non-aureus Staphylococci, α-hemolytic streptococci, gram negative cocobacillus, non-pathogenic Neisseria, and Corynebacterium, which emphasized the users denture hygine.

Evaluating Coverage of Error Detection Logic for Soft Errors using Formal Methods (2006)

In this paper we describe a methodology to measure exactly the quality of fault-tolerant designs by combining fault-injection in high level design (HLD) descriptions with a formal verification approach. We utilize BDD based symbolic simulation to determine the coverage of online error-detection and -correction logic. We describe an easily portable approach, which can be applied to a wide variety of multi-GHz industrial designs
In vitro epiphyseal-plate growth in various constant electrical fields (1976)

An in vitro epiphyseal-plate model was subjected to various electrical fields. At a voltage gradient of 1500 volts per centimeter, a consistent, highly significant acceleration of growth of the epiphyseal plate occurred as measured from photomacrographs and as indicated by incorporation of 45Ca, 35S, and 3H-thymidine. The growth acceleration was due to voltage gradients and not to current flow. Although the mechanism of action of the electrical field is not known, it is obvious that the voltage gradient, either directly or indirectly, incites a physiological response of the growth-plate chondrocyte.
