TRAINING AND TESTING THE ELITE ATHLETE (2006)

The performance of a top-class athlete can be improved by appropriate training. The fitness training should be closely related to the activities of the athlete during competition. Furthermore, the capacity of the athlete should be known. For that purpose, Yo-Yo tests can be used since they have been shown to be sensitive and to give valid measures of performance in many sports. The fitness training can be divided into aerobic, anaerobic and specific muscle training. Each type of training has a number of subcategories, which allows for a precise execution of the training when the aim of the training is known. A critical factor when training elite athletes is when to do what, i.e. to plan the training. An example of the preparation of the Danish National soccer team for the European Championship 2004 is given in the text with examples of physiological measurements and testing, which also takes individuals’ needs into account.
Experimental Wound Healing with Electrical Stimulation (1999)

The effect of alternating current (AC) and direct current (DC) stimulation was studied on experimental pressure ulcer healing in a new monoplegic pig model. The study was conducted in 30 healthy young Hanford minipigs. The rate of wound healing, histology, vascularization, collagen formation, microbiology, perfusion, and the mechanical strength of the healed wounds were studied. Normal pigskin was compared to denervated control and denervated AC and DC stimulated healed skin. Hind limb denervation was by right unilateral extradural rhizotomies from the L2 to S1 nerve roots. Reproducible uniformly controlled Stage III or higher tissue ulcers were created. When compared to the control wounds, both the AC and DC stimulated wounds showed reduced healing time and increased perfusion in the early phases of healing. DC stimulation reduced the wound area more rapidly than AC, but AC stimulation reduced the wound volume more rapidly than DC. The electrical stimulation did not reduce the strength of the healing wounds below those of the nonstimulated controls. The applied current appears to orient new collagen formation even in the absence of neural influences.
A Retrospective on the Stock Market in 2000 (2001)

During late 1998 and much of 1999, the price earnings ratio (P/E) of the S&P 500 index reached unprecedented levels. This was especially evident for the largest 18 technology firms, whose market-weighted P/E exceeded 125 in March of last year. These valuations, which dominated the NASDAQ, proved unsustainable. This Commentary reviews factors that affect P/E ratios and concludes that investors' expectations for earnings growth were overly optimistic, especially for large-cap technology stocks, and that investors could have known this before the bubble burst.

Increased expression of CD11b and functional changes in eosinophils after migration across endothelial cell monolayers (1993)

Eosinophils from sputum, nasal polyps, and bronchoalveolar lavages of asthmatics demonstrated a considerably increased CD11b expression, compared with blood eosinophils. Furthermore, the tissue eosinophils expressed ICAM-1 (CD54) and HLA-DR, whereas peripheral blood eosinophils did not. In vitro migration of peripheral blood eosinophils across IL-1-activated human umbilical vein endothelial cell monolayers caused a considerable up-regulation of CD11b and CD35 expression, no induction of ICAM-1 or HLA-DR, and a small but significant decrease in CD11a, CD29, and CD32 expression. These changes were only partially inducible with supernatants from nonactivated or IL-1-activated endothelial cells, platelet-activating factor, or a variety of recombinant cytokines. Thus, cell-cell interactions mediated by receptor-ligand binding or endothelial cell membrane-bound mediators, rather than soluble factors, are responsible for the altered eosinophil surface marker expression. Indeed, preparations of membrane fragments from IL-1-stimulated endothelial cells were able to induce up-regulation of CD11b, which was not inhibitable with the platelet-activating factor antagonist WEB 2086 or antibodies against ELAM-1, VCAM-1, or ICAM-1. Investigation of the functional significance of the increased CD11b expression on eosinophils revealed only minimal changes in the adherence or transmigration capacity. Nevertheless, increased CD11b expression was related to an increased capacity to generate superoxide after stimulation with opsonized zymosan. Thus, cell-cell interactions between eosinophils and endothelial cells induce a considerable up-regulation of CD11b and CD35 on eosinophils and an increased capacity to generate an oxidative burst.
Somatic LINE-1 retrotransposition in cortical neurons and non-brain tissues of Rett patients and healthy individuals (2019)

Mounting evidence supports that LINE-1 (L1) retrotransposition can occur postzygotically in healthy and diseased human tissues, contributing to genomic mosaicism in the brain and other somatic tissues of an individual. However, the genomic distribution of somatic human-specific LINE-1 (L1Hs) insertions and their potential impact on carrier cells remain unclear. Here, using a PCR-based targeted bulk sequencing approach, we profiled 9,181 somatic insertions from 20 postmortem tissues from five Rett patients and their matched healthy controls. We identified and validated somatic L1Hs insertions in both cortical neurons and non-brain tissues. In Rett patients, somatic insertions were significantly depleted in exons-mainly contributed by long genes-than healthy controls, implying that cells carrying MECP2 mutations might be defenseless against a second exonic L1Hs insertion. We observed a significant increase of somatic L1Hs insertions in the brain compared with non-brain tissues from the same individual. Compared to germline insertions, somatic insertions were less sense-depleted to transcripts, indicating that they underwent weaker selective pressure on the orientation of insertion. Our observations demonstrate that somatic L1Hs insertions contribute to genomic diversity and MeCP2 dysfunction alters their genomic patterns in Rett patients.
Using Eye Region Biometrics to Reveal Affective and Cognitive States (2005)

Various facial region biometrics have been used extensively in the areas of recognition and authentication. However, some regions of the face provide more information than is currently being fully utilized in these specific capacities. Biometrics associated exclusively with the eye region hold a key to identifying and classifying particular affective and cognitive states. This paper focuses on 1) methods for identifying and deriving the appropriate biometric data inherent to the eye region that is most useful in specific HCI scenarios and, 2) outlining a framework for classification of these biometric data into affective and cognitive states relative to a particular HCI context.
A new type of synthetic pyrethroid. (1978)

The insecticidal activity of methyl substituted cyclohexenylmethyl and cyclohexadienyl-methyl chrysanthemate was investigated from the view point that these compounds have partial structure of the hypothetically cyclized rethrolones. 4-Methyl-l-cyclohexenylmethyl-and 4, 5-dimethyl-1, 4-cyclohexadienylmethyl chrysanthemate showed the equivalent insecticidal activity to houseflies as those of natural pyrethrins or α-dl allethrins. The insecticidal activity of other related compounds is also discussed.
Thermal Neutron Decay Logging Using Dual Detection (1973)

A Dual-Spacing Thermal Neutron Decay Time logging tool has been developed which embodies several new features to improve the recording of SIGMA and tau and to provide additional information. Lower statistics and faster logging speeds are achieved by use of the Complete Scale Factor system and an increase in the yield of the pulsed neutron source. The tool has a 1-/sup 11///sub 16/-inch diameter, and has two detectors. It is combinable with a Gamma Ray logging tool. Some of the data it provides are: SIGMA, the neutron capture cross section; tau, the thermal neutron decay time; a ratio curve, derived from the count rates of the two detectors; a count-rate display for comparison of the count rates from the two detectors; and a quality control curve, which is used to validate the SIGMA and ratio recordings. The ratio and SIGMA data can be used to calculate an apparent porosity (phi/sub K/ for the formation and an apparent water salinity (WS/sub a) for the formation water. The count-rate display is designed to facilitate gas identification. Response data are shown for SIGMA and ratio measurements in laboratory sandstone formations of 18 percent and 34 percent porosity with cased boreholes. Borehole sizes weremore » 8-in., 10-in., and 12-in., and casing sizes were 5 /sup 1///sub 2/-in., 7-in., and 9 /sup 5///sub 8/-in. Results of an extensive field-test program are discussed. Methods for using and analyzing the logs provided by this tool, run either in casing or in casing and tubing, are described. Log examples are shown.« less
Ganglioside GM3 Levels Are Altered in a Mouse Model of HIBM: GM3 as a Cellular Marker of the Disease (2010)

The M712T mutation of GNE hampers the muscle ability to synthesize normal levels of GM3. This is the first time that a mutation of GNE can be related to the molecular pathological mechanism of HIBM.
Frequency-domain nonlinear circuit analysis using generalized power series (1988)

The authors present details of the generalized power series technique for the analysis of analog nonlinear circuits. The method uses generalized power series descriptions of the nonlinear elements and a spectral balance techniques to operate entirely in the frequency domain. It is therefore suited to the analysis of analog nonlinear circuits with large-signal multifrequency excitation of arbitrary frequency separation. The analysis of a low-frequency mixer is used here as a vehicle to illustrate the concepts of large-signal frequency-domain analysis and the generalized power series analysis technique.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>
Ethernet – A Survey on its Fields of Application (2010)

During the last decades, Ethernet progressively became the most widely used local area networking (LAN) technology. Apart from LAN installations, Ethernet became also attractive for many other fields of application, ranging from industry to avionics, telecommunication, and multimedia. The expanded application of this technology is mainly due to its significant assets like reduced cost, backward-compatibility, flexibility, and expandability. However, this new trend raises some problems concerning the services of the protocol and the requirements for each application. Therefore, specific adaptations prove essential to integrate this communication technology in each field of application. Our primary objective is to show how Ethernet has been enhanced to comply with the specific requirements of several application fields, particularly in transport, embedded and multimedia contexts. The paper first describes the common Ethernet LAN technology and highlights its main features. It reviews the most important specific Ethernet versions with respect to each application field's requirements. Finally, we compare these different fields of application and we particularly focus on the fundamental concepts and the quality of service capabilities of each proposal.
Abnormal movements in Rett syndrome are present before the regression period: A case study (2007)

The suspicion of a diagnosis of Rett syndrome (RTT) is based on clinical criteria that are often not present in the first two stages of the disease, as many of its symptoms will appear at a later age. This sometimes postpones the genetic diagnosis and an early clinical intervention. We present the case of 19-months-old girl who came to the consultation because of an arrest of psychomotor development noticed 5 months earlier without change in sleep pattern, behavior, or social communication. In the observation of 1 hour videotape, she presented subtle stereotypic movements of the face and hands as well as repetitive dystonic posturing of her limbs. A genetic test confirmed the diagnosis of RTT, showing a truncating mutation in the MECP2 gene (R270X). This case confirms that stereotypic movement anomalies, albeit infrequent and subtle, are already present before the regression stage and while maintaining prehension and that, in addition, repetitive dystonic postures may occur. Recognition of these early movement disorders will improve clinicians' ability to perform an earlier diagnosis of RTT.
Residual Capsule Networks (2019)

Artificial neural network systems have excelled in classification, decision-making, and prediction tasks because they can effectively learn representational relationships by processing large amounts of examples. In order for NNs to be applicable and widely accessible, architectures must be developed which decreases the time required to train, cost, and amount of data needed. The most prominent architecture in use are convolutional neural networks which learn shared “concepts” throughout the data for a given example. CNNs excel at understanding the hierarchical properties of information yet one of the challenges is keeping perspective independent from the learned features. Capsule networks are an expansion of CNN which consider perspective or pose independent of learned features. This architecture can be done with less parameters but still requires a lot of computation. I propose an architecture which uses additional residual information passed through the layers of a capsule network in order to reach convergence faster and to provide avenues to explore the possible use of ODE solvers to determine the proper weight matrix of each capsule in all layers. It is feasible to utilize ODE’s to calculate the activation output of the higher layer capsule given the current activation value of the layers prior.
<title>Modeling human heart based on cardiac tomography</title> (1992)

Abstract A technique for constructing a three-dimensional (3-D) human heart model is proposed for study of anatomy of theheart and the coronary vessels as well as the dynamic changes in the shape of left and right ventricles throughout thecardiac cycle. The proposed model consists of the 3-D surfaces of epi- and endo-cardium of the heart with the coronarytree attached on the epicardium. The spatial 3-D geometry of coronary arteries is constructed from the stereoscopicradiographic images. The 3-D surfaces of epi- and endo-cardium of the heart are reconstructed from serial ultra fastCT cross-sectional images. For each cross section, the regions of epi- and endo-cardium are first identified by usingan adaptzve segmentation algorithm. The boundaries of these regions are then extracted. Using these boundaries,additional cross sections are generated by means of an elastic interpolation algorithm. The set of interpolated crosssections are then employed to form a cardiac surface which is subsequently smoothed using a spline-based surfaceinterpolation method.
DHCPv6 Route Options (2012)

This document describes the DHCPv6 Route Options for provisioning IPv6
routes on a DHCPv6 client. This is expected to improve the ability of
an operator to configure and influence a client's ability to pick
an appropriate route to a destination when this client is multi-homed
and where other means of route configuration may be impractical. The
options are primarily envisaged for configuring a broadband
Residential Gateway (RG) router, but are generic enough to be used by
other types of DHCPv6 clients that have basic host routing
capabilities.
Stress-impaired transcription factor expression and insulin secretion in transplanted human islets (2016)

Type 2 diabetes is characterized by insulin resistance, hyperglycemia, and progressive β cell dysfunction. Excess glucose and lipid impair β cell function in islet cell lines, cultured rodent and human islets, and in vivo rodent models. Here, we examined the mechanistic consequences of glucotoxic and lipotoxic conditions on human islets in vivo and developed and/or used 3 complementary models that allowed comparison of the effects of hyperglycemic and/or insulin-resistant metabolic stress conditions on human and mouse islets, which responded quite differently to these challenges. Hyperglycemia and/or insulin resistance impaired insulin secretion only from human islets in vivo. In human grafts, chronic insulin resistance decreased antioxidant enzyme expression and increased superoxide and amyloid formation. In human islet grafts, expression of transcription factors NKX6.1 and MAFB was decreased by chronic insulin resistance, but only MAFB decreased under chronic hyperglycemia. Knockdown of NKX6.1 or MAFB expression in a human β cell line recapitulated the insulin secretion defect seen in vivo. Contrary to rodent islet studies, neither insulin resistance nor hyperglycemia led to human β cell proliferation or apoptosis. These results demonstrate profound differences in how excess glucose or lipid influence mouse and human insulin secretion and β cell activity and show that reduced expression of key islet-enriched transcription factors is an important mediator of glucotoxicity and lipotoxicity.
Improvement in Schottky diode characteristics of metal-In/sub 0.52/Al/sub 0.48/As contact using an in situ photochemical etching and surface passivation process (2002)

HBr and H/sub 2/S gases were used together with a 172 nm excimer lamp and a deep UV-lamp for photochemical etching and surface passivation of the InGaAs/InAlAs material system. Schottky diodes were fabricated on n-In/sub 0.52/Al/sub 0.48/As by electron beam evaporation of Mo/Ti/Pt/Au with the consequent alloying. AES and XPS measurements of the passivated InAlAs surface reveal that the photochemically generated S*-radicals are capable of removing In-O and As-O bonds from the surface and replacing them with In-S and As-S bonds. The reverse bias leakage current of the surface passivated diodes were reduced by 3 orders of magnitude compared to diodes with an unpassivated surface. We obtained an effective barrier height of 0.79 eV and an ideality factor of 1.03, for the fabricated diodes after surface passivation.
An augmented state SLAM formulation for multiple line-of-sight features with millimetre wave RADAR (2005)

Millimetre wave RADAR can penetrate certain non-metallic objects, meaning that multiple line-of-sight objects can sometimes be detected, a property which can be exploited in mobile robot navigation in outdoor unstructured environments. This paper describes a new approach in predicting RADAR range bins which is essential for simultaneous localisation and map building (SLAM) with millimetre wave RADAR. The first contribution of this paper is a SLAM formulation using an augmented state vector which includes the normalised RADAR cross sections (RCS) and absorption cross sections of features as well as the usual feature Cartesian coordinates. The term "normalised" is used as the actual RCS is incorporated into a reflectivity parameter. Normalisation results as it is assumed that the sum of this reflectivity parameter and the absorption and transmittance parameters is unity. This is carried out to provide feature rich representations of the environment to significantly aid the data association process in SLAM. The second contribution is a predictive model of the power-range spectra (often referred to as range bins), from differing vehicle locations, for multiple line-of-sight targets. This forms a predicted power-range observation, based on estimates of the augmented SLAM state. The formulation of power returns from multiple objects down-range is derived and predicted RADAR range spectra are compared with real spectra, recorded outdoors. This prediction of power-range spectra is a step towards a full, RADAR based SLAM framework.
FaultNet: A deep CNN model for 3D automated fault picking (2019)

We introduce a deep CNN model trained from synthetic data for 3D automated fault picking. The model classifies an image center as a fault or not, and at the same time predicts the fault dip and azimuth. Our field data applications show that this CNN model performs well across various seismic images from different tectonic provinces and produces consistently high-quality fault picks. From the fault probability volume, fault “sticks” can be further automatically extracted in order to improve the accuracy and cycle time of a manual fault interpretation project.

Structures of the DNA adducts formed in mouse liver after administration of the proximate hepatocarcinogen 1'-hydroxyestragole. (1981)

Abstract 1′-Hydroxyestragole is a proximate carcinogenic metabolite of the naturally occurring hepatocarcinogen estragole (1-allyl-4-methoxybenzene). Two major (I and II) and 2 minor (III and IV) nucleoside adducts were found by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) of enzymatic hydrolysates of hepatic DNA isolated from adult female CD-1 or preweanling C57BL/6 × C3H/He F1 mice that had been given i.p. injections of 1′-[2′,3′-3H]hydroxyestragole. Reaction of 1′-acetoxyestragole, a model electrophilic and mutagenic ester, with [14C]deoxyguanosine ([14C]dGuo) yielded products that coeluted on HPLC with Adducts I, II, and III, while Adduct IV coeluted with a product of the reaction of 1′-acetoxyestragole with [14C]deoxyadenosine. The in vivo adducts did not comigrate with any major reaction products of either 1′-hydroxyestragole-2′,3′-oxide or 1′-oxoestragole with [14C]dGuo or [14C]deoxyadenosine. The pH partition coefficient patterns of the in vivo- and in vitro-derived dGuo Adducts I, II, and III together with the 3H:14C ratios of the three adducts from the reaction of 1′-acetoxyestragole with [8-14C,8-3H]dGuo indicated that each of these adducts contains a N2-substituted dGuo residue. Synthetic samples of Adducts II and IV were characterized from their nuclear magnetic resonance spectra and assigned the structures N2-(trans-isoestragol-3′-yl)deoxyguanosine and N2-(trans-isoestragol-3′-yl)deoxyadenosine, respectively. Hydrolysis at 100° with 0.1 N HCl for 30 min of the in vivo Adducts I and II yielded in each case radioactivity which coeluted on HPLC with 3′-hydroxyisoestragole. If Adduct I was first reduced with H2:platinum and then hydrolyzed, radioactivity eluted with 1′-hydroxy-2′,3′-dihydroestragole. Adduct I is therefore assigned the structure N2-(estragol-1′-yl)deoxyguanosine. Adduct III was converted in part to Adduct II on chromatography on HPLC and is thus tentatively regarded as N2-(cis-isoestragol-3′-yl)deoxyguanosine. All four adducts in the mouse liver can be accounted for by the reaction of a metabolically derived ester of 1′-hydroxyestragole with purine bases in DNA by SN1, SN2, or SN2′ mechanisms.
