SPAIN SP. 3 (1989)

Privilege for wages in bankruptcy proceedings - whether extends to termination indemnities HEADNOTES Facts A worker sought and obtained from the competent labour court the rescis- sion, with indemnities, of his contract of employment. He then asked the court for measures of execution. The court decided to suspend execution, on the ground that bankruptcy proceedings against the undertaking concerned were in progress. The worker asked the court for reconsideration of that decision, on the ground that Section 32.5 of the Workers' Statute provided that no action brought by a worker for the recovery of wages owing to
Transaction Support for Log-Based Middleware Server Recovery (2009)

We have developed log-based recovery for middleware servers that access back-end transaction systems (DBMSs). Transactional consistency is provided between in-memory state stored in middleware servers and persistent state stored in transaction systems. A new logging method called results logging is exploited to ensure coordinated recovery of in-memory state with persistent database state. Results logging incurs low logging overhead for middleware servers and requires little or no modification to existing transaction systems. This makes our approach a practical coordinated recovery technique.
Using a neural network to diagnose the hypertrophic portions of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. (1998)

We studied the ability of a neural network to identify the hypertrophic cardiac regions in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, with the network using electrocardiographic (ECG) information alone. Computer-based electrocardiography remains a fundamental diagnostic method for analysis of cardiac contour and rhythm. Almost all patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy have some abnormal findings on electrocardiography, but it is very difficult, even for an experienced cardiologist, to identify the hypertrophic regions on the basis of electrocardiography alone. Since neural networks are known to be better at pattern recognition than humans are, we tried using a neural network trained with ECG information to identify the hypertrophic regions in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.
Reading the production of suburbia in post-war Australia (2005)

Suburbia is one of the dominant descriptive motifs in Australian cultural analysis. The cultural attachments of suburbia have occupied an important place in Australian cultural studies throughout the 20th century and continue to be the subject of enthusiastic parody and reappropriation within popular culture.
Technique to prevent limb ischemia during peripheral cannulation for extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (2002)

Prolonged extracorporeal support using femoral cannulation may cause limb ischemia. A technique is described using antegrade, retrograde arterial perfusion and venous drainage to prevent limb ischemia.
Enzyme activity profiles of the secreted and membrane proteome that depict cancer cell invasiveness (2002)

By primarily measuring changes in transcript and protein abundance, conventional genomics and proteomics methods may fail to detect significant posttranslational events that regulate protein activity and, ultimately, cell behavior. To address these limitations, activity-based proteomic technologies that measure dynamics in protein function on a global scale would be of particular value. Here, we describe the application of a chemical proteomics strategy to quantitatively compare enzyme activities across a panel of human breast and melanoma cancer cell lines. A global analysis of the activity, subcellular distribution, and glycosylation state for the serine hydrolase superfamily resulted in the identification of a cluster of proteases, lipases, and esterases that distinguished cancer lines based on tissue of origin. Strikingly, nearly all of these enzyme activities were down-regulated in the most invasive cancer lines examined, which instead up-regulated a distinct set of secreted and membrane-associated enzyme activities. These invasiveness-associated enzymes included urokinase, a secreted serine protease with a recognized role in tumor progression, and a membrane-associated hydrolase KIAA1363, for which no previous link to cancer had been made. Collectively, these results suggest that invasive cancer cells share discrete proteomic signatures that are more reflective of their biological phenotype than cellular heritage, highlighting that a common set of enzymes may support the progression of tumors from a variety of origins and thus represent attractive targets for the diagnosis and treatment of cancer.
Self-assembly product formation of the Bacillus stearothermophilus PV72/p6 S-layer protein SbsA in the course of autolysis of Bacillus subtilis (1999)

In order to achieve high level expression and to study the release of a protein capable of self-assembly, the gene encoding the crystalline cell surface (S-layer) protein SbsA of Bacillus stearothermophilus PV72/p6, including its signal sequence, was cloned and expressed in Bacillus subtilis. To obtain high level expression, a tightly regulated, xylose-inducible, stably replicating multicopy-plasmid vector was constructed. After induction of expression, the S-layer protein made up about 15% of the total cellular protein content, which was comparable to the SbsA content of B. stearothermophilus PV72/p6 cells. During all growth stages, SbsA was poorly secreted to the ambient cellular environment by B. subtilis. Extraction of whole cells with guanidine hydrochloride showed that in late stationary growth phase cells 65% of the synthesised SbsA was retained in the peptidoglycan-containing layer, indicating that the rigid cell wall layer was a barrier for efficient SbsA secretion. Electron microscopic investigation revealed that SbsA release from the peptidoglycan-containing layer started in the late stationary growth phase at distinct sites at the cell surface leading to the formation of extracellular self-assembly products which did not adhere to the cell wall surface. In addition, intracellular sheet-like SbsA self-assembly products which followed the curvature of the cell became visible in partly lysed cells. Intracellularly formed self-assembly products remained intact even after complete lysis of the rigid cell envelope layer.

Two cases of psoriasis under PUVA therapy presented for its unusual rapid response with quick clearance of lesions within three weeks.
Numerical study on microwave-assisted magnetization reversal of magnetic particles several tens of nanometers wide with perpendicular anisotropy (2009)

Microwave-assisted magnetization reversal (MAMR) is numerically investigated for perpendicularly magnetized particles with a natural ferromagnetic resonance frequency of 22.5 GHz. The precession angle of magnetization can be enhanced intensively by increasing the amplitude of the ac hard-axis field with an optimum frequency. However, the precession of magnetization about the easy axis becomes unstable as the precession angle reaches a critical value because the easy-axis component of the effective field exerted on the magnetization becomes zero. The analysis of magnetization dynamics in MAMR showed that the precession of magnetization about an in-plane axis, appearing after the easy-axis component of the effective field becomes zero, plays an important role in the irreversible switching of magnetization.
Absorption and Emission Properties of Di- and Trinuclear Ruthenium(II) Rack-Type Complexes (1999)

The absorption spectra and the luminescence properties of three dinuclear RuII complexes and one trinuclear RuII complex have been investigated. All the complexes have rack-type structures. The dinuclear complexes 1, 2, and 3 incorporate a bis-tridentate bridging ligand made up of a pyrimidine and four pyridine moieties, as well as two 2,2′:6′,2′-terpyridyl (tpy) ligands. The trinuclear complex 4 incorporates a tris-tridentate bridging ligand made up of two pyrimidine and five pyridine moieties, as well as three tpy ligands. The absorption spectra of the complexes show a large number of ligand-centered (LC) and metal-to-ligand charge-transfer (MLCT) bands. All the complexes exhibit emission from a triplet MLCT state, with maxima in the spectral range 840–950 nm (lifetimes between 40 and 80 ns) at 298 K in fluid solution, and in the spectral range 760–810 nm (lifetimes between 2 and 3 μs) at 77 K in rigid matrices. A fine tuning of the absorption and luminescence properties of complexes 1–3can be achieved by changing the substituents on the pyrimidine ring of the bridging ligand. Efficient energy transfer within the rack structure 4 occurs from the (upper-lying) central metal-based chromophore to the (lower-lying) peripheral ones.
The Implementation of Dynamic Linking in Dynamic Binary Translation Systems (2009)

Dynamic binary translation (DBT) is a commonly used technology in virtual machines. Most DBT systems, like Dynamo, can only translate programs statically linked but not ones dynamically linked. Statically linked programs will lead to expansion of binary codes, which is the indirect reason of loss on performance. In this paper, we propose an approach to implement dynamic linking on DBT systems. During the research, we came across some challenges related with operating systems, compilation and architecture, which will be discussed later in detail. And we have developed a module and had it tested on our DBT system, CrossBit. The statistics show that CrossBit with dynamic linking reduces the number of translated blocks and execution time.
Synthesis and thermal behavior of some anthracene‐based copolymers obtained by Diels–Alder cycloaddition reactions (2007)

Abstract New polymer structures have been synthesized via Diels–Alder cycloaddition of bisdiene compounds bearing two anthracene groups and different bisdienophiles, all containing bismaleimide or biscitraconimide functions. The monomers and polymers were characterized by FTIR, UV, and 1 H NMR techniques and compared with two models having a cycloadduct structure. The polymers were studied by thermogravimetric analyses. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci 2008
Activation energy-based simulation for self-assembly of multi-shape tiles (2007)

Building artificial systems using self-assembly is one of the main issues of artificial life [17]. Scientists are trying to understand this process either using experimental approaches or computer simulation approaches. This paper aims at supporting research using computer simulation approaches mimicking self-assembly as it occurs in the real world using basic principles in physics such as Brownian motion and basic concepts in Chemistry such as activation energy required to build molecules at molecular level. In this paper, a simulator has been implemented to mimic the process of self-assembly. In this simulator, objects are modeled by shapes such as cubes, tetrahedrons, wedges and pyramids with colors in their faces. The objects move randomly in Brownian motion, and the faces' colors determine how the objects interact with each other. Each object has its own probability to move which depends on the energy that the object gains through its interaction with other objects. The higher energy an object has the less probability that the object has to move and vise verse.
The semiconductor-dielectric interface from PN junction edge and the voltage dependence of leakage reverse current (2007)

For commercial silicon PN junctions, significant leakage reverse current at the junction edge has impact on the maximum permissible junction temperature and the maximum working voltage is discussed.
Fast frequency tuning and phase locking of diode-pumped Nd:YAG ring lasers (1988)

We have built a diode-pumped single-mode monolithic Nd:YAG ring-laser oscillator that can be tuned piezoelectrically over several tens of megahertz in a few microseconds. Frequency stability over 1 msec is better than 500 Hz. We have electronically phase locked two lasers for periods of minutes with phase noise of 29 mrad rms.
Treatment of FLT3-ITD acute myeloid leukemia. (2011)

Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is an aggressive hematologic malignancy which is cured in a minority of patients. A FLT3-internal tandem duplication (ITD) mutation, found in approximately a quarter of patients with de novo AML, imparts a particularly poor prognosis. Patients with FLT3-ITD AML often present with more aggressive disease and have a significantly higher propensity for relapse after remission. The therapeutic approach for these patients has traditionally included intensive induction chemotherapy, followed by consolidative chemotherapy or hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT). In recent years, multiple small molecule inhibitors of the FLT3 tyrosine kinase have been studied preclinically and in clinical trials. The earlier generation of these agents, often non-specific and impacting a variety of tyrosine kinases, produced at best transient peripheral blood responses in early clinical trials. Additionally, the combination of FLT3 inhibitors with cytotoxic regimens has not, as of yet, demonstrated an improvement in overall survival. Nevertheless, multiple current trials, including those with sorafenib, lestaurtinib, and midostaurin, continue to study the combination of FLT3 inhibitors with standard chemotherapy. Factors such as sustained FLT3 inhibition, protein binding, pharmacokinetics, and the presence of elevated FLT3-ligand levels appear to significantly impact the potency of these agents in vivo. In recent years, the development of more specific and potent agents has generated hope that FLT3 inhibitors may play a more prominent role in the treatment of FLT3-ITD AML in the near future. Nevertheless, questions remain regarding the optimal timing and schedule for incorporation of FLT3 inhibitors. The suitability, type, and timing of allogeneic HCT in the therapeutic approach for these patients are also issues which require further study and definition. Recent retrospective data appears to support the efficacy of allogeneic HCT in first complete remission, possibly due to a graft versus leukemia effect. However, larger prospective studies are necessary to further elucidate the role of HCT and its potential combination with FLT3 inhibitor therapy. We are hopeful that current clinical investigation will lead to an optimization and improvement of outcomes for these patients.
High-quality 3-D coronary artery imaging on an interventional C-arm x-ray system (2010)

The presented method enables high-quality 3-D coronary artery imaging on an interventional C-arm system.
Nuclease recognition of an alternating structure in a d(AT)<sub>14</sub>plasmid insert (1986)

The nuclease reactivity and specificity of a cloned tract of poly X (dA-dT) X poly(dA-dT) has been explored. Digestion with DNAse I, Mung Bean nuclease, S1 nuclease, DNAse II, and copper (1,10-phenanthroline)2 on a 256 base pair restriction fragment containing d(AT)14A revealed a dinucleotide repeat structure for the alternating sequence. Furthermore, conditions which wind or unwind the linear DNA had little effect on the reactivity of the AT insert. These preferred cleavages offer insights to structural alterations within the DNA helix which differ from A, B, or Z-DNA. Nucleation into flanking sequences by this structural alteration was not observed.
Generating Natural Language Questions to Support Learning On-Line (2013)

When instructors prepare learning materials for students, they frequently develop accompanying questions to guide learning. Natural language processing technology can be used to automatically generate such questions but techniques used have not fully leveraged semantic information contained in the learning materials or the full context in which the question generation task occurs. We introduce a sophisticated template-based approach that incorporates semantic role labels into a system that automatically generates natural language questions to support online learning. While we have not yet incorporated the full learning context into our approach, our preliminary evaluation and evaluation methodology indicate our approach is a promising one for supporting learning. 1
Shape‐Persistent (Pt‐salphen)<sub>2</sub> Phosphorescent Coordination Frameworks: Structural Insights and Selective Perturbations (2013)

The development of molecular frameworks derived from binuclear platinum(II) aromatic Schiff base (salphen) complexes and their supramolecular chemistry have been undertaken. A series of axially rotating (Pt-salphen)2 luminophores, tethered in a cofacial manner by a rigid linker (xanthene, 1; dibenzofuran, 2; biphenylene, 3), was synthesized in which the O(salphen) groups are potentially amenable for guest-binding. The molecular structures of 1 and 3 have been determined by X-ray crystallography, revealing intra- and intermolecular π-stacking interactions, as well as contrasting syn (1) and anti (3) configurations, for the (Pt-salphen)2 moiety. All complexes are luminescent in solution at room temperature. Their photophysical and solvatochromic properties have been examined, and the emissions are assigned to mixed triplet O(p)/Pt(d)→π*(diimine) excited states. The red-shifted fluid emissions and lower quantum yields of 1 and 3, relative to 2, are ascribed to enhanced intramolecular π-stacking interactions. Photophysical changes and selective responses to metal ions (particularly Pb(2+)) have been investigated by using various spectroscopic methods and DFT calculations, and through comparative studies with control complexes. A plausible binding mechanism is proposed based on occupation of the O(salphen)-binding cavity, which induces perturbation of intramolecular π-π interactions, and hence the self-quenching and emission properties, of the (Pt-salphen)2 unit.
Tactical Radiation Dosimetry in the U.S. Army (1968)

The army is interested in the dosimetry problems associated with tactical warfare in which small tactical nuclear weapons might be used. Therefore, in addition to an administrative dosimetry system (personnel dosimetry system), a tactical dosimeter is required. It is a high range direct reading device measuring both gamma and neutron radiation to provide a means for rapid determination of the total dose personnel have received. At the present time a quartz fiber dosimeter based on secondary electron emission in vacuum, Radiacmeter IM-185, is under development. It is hoped that this dosimeter will satisfy all of the requirements of a tactical dosimeter. The physical principles, construction, and performance of Radiacmeter IM-185 are discussed.
Generation of universal series-parallel Boolean functions (1999)

The structural tree-based mapping algorithm is an efficient and popular technique for technology mapping. In order to make good use of this mapping technique in FTGA design, it is desirable to design FPGA logic modules based on Boolan functions which can be represented by a tree of gates (i.e., series-parallel or SP functions). Thakur and Wong [1996a; 1996b] studied this issue and they demonstrated the advantages of designing logic modules as universal SP functions, that is, SP functions which can implement all SP functions with a certain number of inputs. The number of variables in the universal function corresponds to the number of inputs to the FPGA module, so it is desirable to have as few variables as possible in the constructed functions. The universal SP functions presented in Thakur and Wong [1996a; 1966b] were designed manually. Recently, there is an algorithm that can generate these functions automatically [Young and Wong 1997], but the number of variables in the generated functions grows exponentially. In this paper, we present an algorithm to generate, for each n > 0, a universal SP function f n for implementing all SP functions with n inputs or less. The number of variables in f n is less than n 2.376 and the constructions are the smallest possible when n is small ( n ≤ 7). We also derived a nontrival lower bound on the sizes of the optimal universal SP functions (Ω( n log n )).
Mesomorphic Properties of 4-<i>n</i>-Pentylbiphenyl Derivatives (1982)

Abstract In this work, 29 compounds having the general formula: were prepared and their electron spectra, phase transition temperatures and mesomorphic properties determined. Compounds with Z=H, Br, I, NH2, CN, CHO, NCS, NCO, N3, COOH, CH2COOH, CH2Br, CH2CN, COCH3, CH2‒CH2Cl, CH2‒CH2CN, CH2CHClCN, CH˭CH2 , C≡CH, CH≡CHCN, C(CH3)˭NOH, CH˭NOH, C(CH3)=NOC2H5, C5H11, C6H13, C7H15, COC4H9, COC5H11, COC6H13 were investigated. On the basis of compounds of formula 1, differing only by the kind of the terminal substituent Z, the effects of geometry, coupling, direction and magnitude of the dipole moment on their mesomorphic properties are discussed. These relationships suggest that the nematogenic properties of biphenyl derivatives depend chiefly on the ability of the molecules to associate linearly.
A Conserved Dileucine Motif Mediates Clathrin and AP-2–dependent Endocytosis of the HIV-1 Envelope Protein (2006)

During the assembly of enveloped viruses viral and cellular components essential for infectious particles must colocalize at specific membrane locations. For the human and simian immunodeficiency viruses (HIV and SIV), sorting of the viral envelope proteins (Env) to assembly sites is directed by trafficking signals located in the cytoplasmic domain of the transmembrane protein gp41 (TM). A membrane proximal conserved GYxxØ motif mediates endocytosis through interaction with the clathrin adaptor AP-2. However, experiments with SIV(mac239) Env indicate the presence of additional signals. Here we show that a conserved C-terminal dileucine in HIV(HxB2) also mediates endocytosis. Biochemical and morphological assays demonstrate that the C-terminal dileucine motif mediates internalization as efficiently as the GYxxØ motif and that both must be removed to prevent Env internalization. RNAi experiments show that depletion of the clathrin adaptor AP-2 leads to increased plasma membrane expression of HIV Env and that this adaptor is required for efficient internalization mediated by both signals. The redundancy of conserved endocytosis signals and the role of the SIV(mac239) Env GYxxØ motif in SIV pathogenesis, suggest that these motifs have functions in addition to endocytosis, possibly related to Env delivery to the site of viral assembly and/or incorporation into budding virions.
Influence of reversed‐ and normal‐phase liquid chromatographic eluents in the fragmentation of selected chlorinated herbicides in thermospray liquid chromatography‐mass spectrometry (1989)

Abstract The effect of two completely different mobile phase compositions, reversed‐phase acetonitrile‐water + ammonium acetate and normal‐phase cyclohexane, were compared in filament‐on thermospray liquid chromatography‐mass spectrometry (LC‐MS) for the determination of selected chlorinated herbicides such as chloroatrazines and chlorinated phenoxyacetic acids. By using acetonitrile‐water + 0.05 M ammonium acetate mixtures in positive ion mode thermospray LC‐MS, the chloroatrazine herbicides showed the acetonitrile adduct ion [M + (CH 3 CN)H] + as the base peak, whereas the chlorinated phenoxyacetic acids showed no signal. In contrast, when cyclohexane, which is reported for the first time as an eluent in the thermospray technique, was used as the mobile phase the chlorinated phenoxyacetic acid herbicides exhibited [M – H] + , [M – Cl] + and M + ˙ as the main ions. Negative ion mode thermospray LC‐MS showed [M – H] − as the base peak for the chloroatrazines in the different mobile phases, whereas the chlorinated phenoxyacetic acids exhibited [M + H] − , [M + Cl] − or [M – HCl] − as the base peaks in cyclohexane and [M + acetate] − in acetonitrile‐water‐ammonium acetate.
