Drug Residues in Dairy Cattle Industry: Epidemiological Evaluation of Factors Influencing Their Occurrence (1987)

A random study of 3000 dairy farmers was designed to determine 1) management factors that may be associated with the occurrence of drug residues; 2) the dairy farmers' attitudes and knowledge about residues; 3) how these variables influence the occurrence of residues in dairy cattle. Management factors perceived as having the greatest influence on drug residues in milk were insufficient knowledge about withdrawal periods, errors due to hired help, insufficient identification and record of animals treated for mastitis, metritis treatment, dry cow treatment for mastitis, and not reading the label. Forty-one percent of farms with residue problems used medicated feeds compared with 38.9% of control farms. Factors significantly associated with the occurrence of residues were herd size, increased number of hired persons, increased frequency of use of medicated feeds, category of medicated feed, and producer's attitude toward the public health significance of residues. Farmers needed more information in five areas: likelihood of persistent residues from various types of chemicals (26.8%), consequences of chemicals occurring in livestock products (22.4%), withholding times for specific chemicals (20.4%), disposal of surplus farm chemicals (17%), preparation of products for use in livestock (13.4%).
Does complete renal denervation translate into superior clinical outcomes? Lessons learned from denervation of accessory renal arteries (2014)

Pre-clinical studies of renal denervation would suggest that the extent of renal nerve injury correlates with outcomes. The "completeness" of renal nerve injury following renal denervation correlates with treatment-based variables such as the depth of ablation, the number of ablations along the length of the artery, and the number of renal arteries successfully ablated. Renal denervation techniques targeting only main renal arteries may lead to suboptimal results in patients with accessory renal artery anatomy. Technological differences among the different systems may make some more suited for this common anatomical variant. The early clinical experience with renal denervation of accessory renal arteries highlights the importance of complete renal denervation for clinical success.
A new method for determination of intrinsic viscosity (1969)

Abstract The Huggins and Kraemer equations generally used to determine intrinsic viscosity frequently do not yield identical results, and their constants often do not add up to 1/2 as is mathematically required. To overcome these difficulties an equation has been deduced which through linear plots gives unambiguous intrinsic viscosities, constants which meet the 1/2 condition, as well as two other flow constants. Extensive tests of the equation with precise data on solutions of poly(methyl methacrylates) and polystyrenes in benzene and toluene confirm the validity of the new equation in every respect. It is further shown that the four constants involved are interrelated, and that it is possible to express the values of three of these in terms of the fourth.
A High Dynamic Range and Spectrally Flat Terahertz Spectrometer Based on Optical Parametric Processes in LiNbO<formula formulatype="inline"><tex Notation="TeX">$_{3}$</tex></formula> (2014)

A wideband, wavelength tunable, spectrally flat terahertz (THz) spectrometer with a dynamic range in excess of 70 dB was demonstrated. The emission of THz-wave was achieved using an injection-seeded THz parametric generator (is-TPG), and detection was achieved using nonlinear optical wavelength conversion, both in magnesium-oxide-doped lithium niobate crystal. This system has potential applications in non-destructive sensing and imaging of a wide variety of materials.

High Speed Electronic Connector Design: A Review of Electrical and Electromagnetic Properties of Passive Contact Elements -- Part 1 (2008)

At high signal frequencies (i. e. in the GHz range), a connector must be considered as part of an electromagnetic transmission line. At these frequencies, the impedance characteristics of the connector stemming from the distributed inductance and capacitance of pins and the associated wiring, must be carefully controlled; insertion losses must be minimized and undesirable coupling between non-neighboring pins giving rise to crosstalk must be avoided to achieve optimal signal transmission. This paper reviews fundamental issues associated with the performance optimization of multi-conductor connector structures for high speed signal transmission. The paper complements an earlier publication that reviewed the major factors affecting electrical contact resistance at high frequencies [1].
Remote sensing and communications in random media (2003)

Reliable, high-capacity communications in scattering media can be effectively established with some basic remote sensing techniques involving time reversal. I will formulate these problems and discuss the various mathematical approaches that can be used for analysis. It turns out that stochastic analysis plays an important role and, in some cases, gives very satisfactory results. One such result is the spectacular increase in communications capacity in a richly scattering environment. I will end with a discussion of applications and computational issues that arise in the realistic simulation of communication systems.
Using Narrative Practices to Respond to Stigma Stalker in the Workplace: A Journey with Joe (2014)

This article conceptualises modern power through the perspective of stigma and offers examples of how narrative practices can be utilised to respond to mental health stigma in a therapeutic context as well as in the broader workplace environment. This paper follows the story of Joe and describes how externalising practices enabled Joe to get to know Stigma Stalker, expose its tactics, and discover its effects on his life at home and at work and upon his identity. Re-authoring practices enabled the development of rich and thick descriptions of Joe's preferred identity. Documentation and outsider-witnessing practices were used to facilitate action within Joe's workplace to weaken Stigma Stalker, which enabled Joe to re-engage at work with the support of his colleagues, and contributed to cultural change in relation to stigma.
Comparison of a distributed dynamic channel assignment scheme with multichannel CSMA in a terrestrial radio environment (1999)

The comparison is explored between call-oriented distributed channel assignment strategies used in UFDMA, DECT, and PACS-UB, and packet-oriented multichannel CSMA. Analysis is developed for a UFDMA call-oriented scenario for channel sense delays, which are either fixed or increase according to the number of channels in the allocation. It is shown that when the channel sense delay becomes a large fraction of the call length, thus causing a long vulnerable period, this becomes the limiting factor on the call unsuccessful probability performance. Simulation is used to validate the analysis and it is shown that there is excellent agreement over a wide range of channel sense delays. Possible solutions for reducing the effects of channel sensing delay are also considered.
Desaturation – distance ratio: a new concept for a functional assessment of interstitial lung diseases (2010)

Desaturation distance ratio is a promising concept and a more reliable physiologic tool to assess pulmonary diseases characterized by involvement of the alveolar-capillary membrane, such as interstitial lung diseases.
Sociedade sem oposição: O homem unidimensional de Marcuse encontra o Realismo capitalista de Mark Fisher (2018)

Este texto procura ler em conjunto os textos O homem unidimensional de Herbert Marcuse e Realismo capitalista de Mark Fisher, no contexto ao qual Marcuse chama de “sociedade sem oposicao”. Ele procura extrair uma concepcao de esperanca como metodo internamente a essas duas analises, que sao por vezes bastante sombrias. Essa concepcao compartilhada de esperanca e entendida como uma tentativa de falar de uma concepcao de capitalismo como inferno e que, de qualquer modo, continua a falar dele. O texto acaba por defender uma concepcao de esperanca que assombra, em vez de uma esperanca que promete.
Multidrug-Resistant Tuberculosis in Prison Inmates, Azerbaijan (2001)

In a tuberculosis (TB) program in the Central Penitentiary Hospital of Azerbaijan, we analyzed 65 isolates of Mycobacterium tuberculosis by IS6110-based restriction fragment-length polymorphism (RFLP) and spoligotyping. From 11 clusters associated with 33 patients, 31 isolates had an IS6110-based banding pattern characteristic of the Beijing genotype of M. tuberculosis. In addition, 15 M. tuberculosis isolates with similar RFLP patterns constituted a single group by spoligotyping, matching the Beijing genotype. Multidrug resistance, always involving isoniazid and rifampin, was seen in 34 (52.3%) of 65 isolates, with 28 belonging to the Beijing genotype.
Au–Pd supported nanocrystals as catalysts for the direct synthesis of hydrogen peroxide from H<sub>2</sub>and O<sub>2</sub> (2007)

The direct synthesis of hydrogen peroxide with Au–Pd catalysts is described and discussed: in particular, the roles of the support and promoters. Catalysts prepared by co-impregnation on various supports with calcination at 400 °C were stable and could be re-used several times without loss of metal. Catalysts calcined at lower temperatures were found to be unstable and could not be successfully re-used. Au–Pd/carbon and Au–Pd/silica catalysts gave the highest rate of H2O2 production, and the order of reactivity observed for the support materials investigated is: carbon ∼ silica > TiO2 > Al2O3. Bimetallic Au–Pd particles on TiO2 and Al2O3 were found to exhibit a core–shell structure, Pd being concentrated on the surface. It is considered that the Au–Pd/silica catalysts have a similar core–shell morphology based on X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy studies, whereas, in contrast, the calcined Au–Pd/carbon catalysts are observed to be homogeneous alloys. TEM studies showed that the silica contains impurities of carbon and that the Au–Pd alloys all preferentially interact with these carbonaceous impurities, hence resulting in a rather similar catalytic performance to that of the carbon supported Au–Pd catalysts. The origin of the enhanced activity for the silica and carbon supported catalysts is a result of higher H2 selectivity for the formation of hydrogen peroxide, which is due to the surface composition and size distribution of the nanoparticles. The effect of promoters is investigated, and it is shown that addition of Br− and PO43− is deleterious under our conditions, which contrasts markedly with Pd catalysts for which such species are essential. Furthermore, we show the acid solution formed by CO2 in water increases the rate of H2O2 synthesis, and thereby the CO2 diluent in our experiments acts as green in situ acid promoter.

Adaptive 3D Face Reconstruction from Unconstrained Photo Collections (2016)

Given a photo collection of "unconstrained" face images of one individual captured under a variety of unknown pose, expression, and illumination conditions, this paper presents a method for reconstructing a 3D face surface model of the individual along with albedo information. Unlike prior work on face reconstruction that requires large photo collections, we formulate an approach to adapt to photo collections with a high diversity in both the number of images and the image quality. To achieve this, we incorporate prior knowledge about face shape by fitting a 3D morphable model to form a personalized template, following by using a novel photometric stereo formulation to complete the fine details, under a coarse-to-fine scheme. Our scheme incorporates a structural similarity-based local selection step to help identify a common expression for reconstruction while discarding occluded portions of faces. The evaluation of reconstruction performance is through a novel quality measure, in the absence of ground truth 3D scans. Superior large-scale experimental results are reported on synthetic, Internet, and personal photo collections.
A Portable All-Band Radio Receiver Using Microcomputer Controlled PLL Synthesizer (1980)

With the recent advance of digital technology, we have been seeing a rapid inroad of frequency counters and PLL synthesizers even into radio receivers(1) and stereo tuners.
Effect of Phase State of Self-Assembled Monolayers on Pentacene Growth and Thin Film Transistors Characteristics (2007)

With the aim of investigating the effect of alkyl chain orientation of self‐assembled monolayers (SAMs) on the pentacene growth mode and the performances of organic thin‐film transistors (OTFT), pentacene films were deposited on octadecyltrichlorosilane (ODTS) with different alkyl chain orientation. The alky chain orientation of ODTS was controlled by adjusting the reaction temperature. Pentacene films on ordered ODTS were found to have higher crystallinity and better device performances than those on the disordered ODTS, and their differences increased with the substrate temperature. These results can be explained by (1) lattice matching effect between the pentacene crystals and ODTS, and (2) temperature‐dependent alkyl chains mobility of ODTS.
Isoprenylcysteine Carboxyl Methyltransferase Activity Modulates Endothelial Cell Apoptosis (2003)

Extracellular ATP, adenosine (Ado), and adenosine plus homocysteine (Ado/HC) cause apoptosis of cultured pulmonary artery endothelial cells through the enhanced formation of intracellular S-adenosylhomocysteine and disruption of focal adhesion complexes. Because an increased intracellular ratio of S-adenosylhomocysteine/S-adenosylmethionine favors inhibition of methylation, we hypothesized that Ado/HC might act by inhibition of isoprenylcysteine-O-carboxyl methyltransferase (ICMT). We found that N-acetyl-S-geranylgeranyl-L-cysteine (AGGC) and N-acetyl-S-farnesyl-L-cysteine (AFC), which inhibit ICMT by competing with endogenous substrates for methylation, caused apoptosis. Transient overexpression of ICMT inhibited apoptosis caused by Ado/HC, UV light exposure, or tumor necrosis factor-alpha. Because the small GTPase, Ras, is a substrate for ICMT and may modulate apoptosis, we also hypothesized that inhibition of ICMT with Ado/HC or AGGC might cause endothelial apoptosis by altering Ras activation. We found that ICMT inhibition decreased Ras methylation and activity and the activation of the downstream signaling molecules Akt, ERK-1, and ERK-2. Furthermore, overexpression of wild-type or dominant active H-Ras blocked Ado/HC-induced apoptosis. These findings suggest that inhibition of ICMT causes endothelial cell apoptosis by attenuation of Ras GTPase methylation and activation and its downstream antiapoptotic signaling pathway.
Synthesis and radical polymerization of styrene derivative bearing kojic acid moieties (1996)

A styrene derivative (1) bearing kojic acid moieties was prepared by the base-catalyzed reaction of p-formylstyrene with kojic acid. Hydroxyl groups in 1 were subjected to acetylation. Although 1 did not undergo radical polymerization, the acetylated styrene derivative (2) showed good radical homo- and copolymerizability. For instance, a polymer having the number average molecular weight (Mn) of 60,000 was obtained in almost quantitative yield (97%) by the polymerization of 2 in chloroform (1.5 M) at 60°C for 36 h using α,α′-azobis(isobutyronitrile) (AIBN, 5 mol %) as an initiator. Under similar conditions, copolymers of 2 with styrene were also obtained in high yield. By partial deacetylation of the copolymer with a triethylamine catalyst, a copolymer containing α-hydroxyketone structures originated from kojic acid moieties was successfully regenerated. The deacetylated copolymer can be crosslinked by complexation with metal salts such as Al3+. © 1996 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
AMC: an adaptive multi‐level cache algorithm in hybrid storage systems (2015)

Summary Hybrid storage systems that consist of flash‐based solid state drives (SSDs) and traditional disks are now widely used. In hybrid storage systems, there exists a two‐level cache hierarchy that regard dynamic random access memory (DRAM) as the first level cache and SSD as the second level cache for disk storage. However, this two‐level cache hierarchy typically uses independent cache replacement policies for each level, which makes cache resource management inefficient and reduces system performance. In this paper, we propose a novel adaptive multi‐level cache (AMC) replacement algorithm in hybrid storage systems. The AMC algorithm adaptively adjusts cache blocks between DRAM and SSD cache levels using an integrated solution. AMC uses combined selective promote and demote operations to dynamically determine the level in which the blocks are to be cached. In this manner, the AMC algorithm achieves multi‐level cache exclusiveness and makes cache resource management more efficient. By using real‐life storage traces, our evaluation shows the proposed algorithm improves hybrid multi‐level cache performance and also increases the SSD lifetime compared with traditional multi‐level cache replacement algorithms.

Polymorphisms in DNA Repair Genes, Medical Exposure to Ionizing Radiation, and Breast Cancer Risk (2005)

An epidemiologic study was conducted to determine whether polymorphisms in DNA repair genes modify the association between breast cancer risk and exposure to ionizing radiation. Self-reported exposure to ionizing radiation from medical sources was evaluated as part of a population-based, case-control study of breast cancer in African-American (894 cases and 788 controls) and White (1,417 cases and 1,234 controls) women. Genotyping was conducted for polymorphisms in four genes involved in repair of radiation-induced DNA damage, the double-strand break repair pathway: X-ray cross-complementing group 3 (XRCC3) codon 241 Thr/Met, Nijmegen breakage syndrome 1 (NBS1) codon 185 Glu/Gln, X-ray cross-complementing group 2 (XRCC2) codon 188 Arg/His, and breast cancer susceptibility gene 2 (BRCH2) codon 372 Asn/His. Allele and genotype frequencies were not significantly different in cases compared with controls for all four genetic polymorphisms, and odds ratios for breast cancer were close to the null. Combining women with two, three, and four variant genotypes, a positive association was observed between breast cancer and number of lifetime mammograms (P(trend) < 0.0001). No association was observed among women with zero or one variant genotype (P = 0.86). Odds ratios for radiation treatments to the chest and number of lifetime chest X-rays were slightly elevated but not statistically significant among women with two to four variant genotypes. The study has several limitations, including inability to distinguish between diagnostic and screening mammograms or reliably classify prediagnostic mammograms and chest X-rays in cases. Prospective studies are needed to address whether common polymorphisms in DNA repair genes modify the effects of low-dose radiation exposure from medical sources.
Refining Event Extraction through Cross-Document Inference (2008)

We apply the hypothesis of “One Sense Per Discourse ” (Yarowsky, 1995) to information extraction (IE), and extend the scope of “discourse” from one single document to a cluster of topically-related documents. We employ a similar approach to propagate consistent event arguments across sentences and documents. Combining global evidence from related documents with local decisions, we design a simple scheme to conduct cross-document inference for improving the ACE event extraction task 1. Without using any additional labeled data this new approach obtained 7.6% higher F-Measure in trigger labeling and 6% higher F-Measure in argument labeling over a state-of-the-art IE system which extracts events independently for each sentence. 1
Relationships between epitopes on IgE recognized by defined monoclonal antibodies and by the FC epsilon receptor on basophils. (1986)

The present study investigated whether the sites on the FC region of the IgE molecule, recognized by different anti-IgE monoclonal antibodies (mAb), are identical to those recognized by the Fc receptor (Fc epsilon R). The anti-IgE mAb recognize different clusters of epitopes on the Fc region of IgE and could interfere to different degrees with the binding of IgE to mast cells and basophils, but still recognized cell-bound IgE. Analysis of the stoichiometry and affinity binding of 125I anti-IgE mAb Fab' to free IgE have revealed that anti-IgE mAb of one group (51.3) recognized three repetitive determinants on the IgE Fc portion, and another group (95.3) recognized only one determinant. When these stoichiometric studies were performed with cell-bound IgE, it was found that only one of the sites recognized by 51.3 mAb was involved in the Fc epsilon R binding site. On the other hand, the site recognized by 95.3 mAb was not the Fc epsilon R binding site. Such findings establish mAb 51.3 as a useful tool for isolating the IgE peptides involved in the binding site to the receptor.
