Enhanced Sand Filtration for Storm Water Phosphorus Removal (2007)

Batch studies with an initial phosphorus concentration typical of storm water were conducted at the University of Minnesota on C 33 sand, calcareous sand, limestone, three blast oxygen furnace (BOF) by-products, aluminum oxide, and chopped granular steel wool for the removal of dissolved phosphorus from synthetic storm water runoff. Based on the findings of these batch studies, sand filtration enhanced with steel wool, calcareous sand, or limestone has the potential to be a practical and cost-effective method of removing dissolved phosphorus from storm water runoff. Column studies are then performed on four enhancements with C 33 sand filtration: calcareous sand, limestone, chopped granular steel wool, and steel wool fabric. Synthetic storm water runoff with a variable dissolved phosphorus concentration passed through the columns while the flow rate was measured and effluent samples were taken and analyzed for total and dissolved phosphorus concentration and pH. As found in the batch studies, C 33 sand retained dissolved phosphorus but the capacity was quickly exhausted. Combinations of C 33 sand with limestone or calcareous sand clogged the columns and prevented them from draining completely. Steel wool, however, significantly increased the duration and level of phosphorus retention as compared to C 33 sand alone and did not clog the columns. Between 34 and 81% of the dissolved phosphorus was retained by the six steel-enhanced columns. Fine oxidized iron particles observed in the effluent are too small to be completely captured by typical geotextile fabric and may compromise phosphorus removal performance, but phosphorus adsorbed to iron oxide will be of limited bioavailability. Steel-enhanced sand filtration is modeled with contact time, total mass of phosphorus retained, and influent concentration as variables. Enhancing sand filtration systems with steel wool fabric would minimally increase installation costs and would increase the material cost by 3–5%. Based on these findings, steel-enhanced sand filtration is a potentially cost-effective treatment for removing dissolved phosphorus from storm water runoff.

On the mechanism of the activation of human plasminogen by recombinant staphylokinase. (1993)

The mechanism of activation of human plasminogen by recombinant staphylokinase (STAR) was studied using the active site titrant p-nitrophenyl-p'-guanidinobenzoate (NPGB). NPGB prevented active site exposure in equimolar mixtures of plasminogen and STAR but reacted stoichiometrically with mixtures preincubated in the absence of titrant. Active site generation occurred progressively, with a marked initial lag phase followed by an exponential growth phase, and was associated with the conversion of single-chain plasminogen to two-chain plasmin. Incubation of mixtures of plasminogen and STAR with catalytic amounts (< 0.2% molar ratio) of preformed plasmin.STAR complex or of urokinase shortened the lag hase, whereas catalytic amounts (5% molar ratio) of the plasmin inhibitor alpha 2-antiplasmin delayed active site generation. The following kinetic model for the activation of plasminogen (P) by STAR (S) fits the experimental data, [formula: see text] and is described by [formula: see text] or [formula: see text] In this model, plasminogen and STAR produce an inactive complex (P.S), in which active plasmin.STAR (p.S) is generated in a rate limiting step, which is accelerated by plasminogen activators and delayed by plasmin inhibitors. At room temperature in a 0.1 M Veronal buffer, pH 8.3, containing 0.1 M arginine, the data are adequately fitted by the integrated equation with k1 = 4.0 x 10(-7) s-1 and k2 = 1.3 x 10(-2) microM-1 s-1. The k1 value could be explained by contamination of the plasminogen preparation with 3 ppm plasmin, converted by S to p.S. It is concluded that STAR activates plasminogen via a mechanism which differs in several essential aspects from that of streptokinase.
[Cytokine and disease]. (1994)

Cytokine is a generic term of biologically active molecules which are mainly produced by the immune-competent cells and regulate the immune response, inflammation and hematopoiesis. This includes interleukins (IL), colony-stimulating factors (CSF), interferons (IFN), tumor necrosis factors (TNF) and so on. These cytokines are glycoproteins with a molecular weight of 20,000-40,000 kD and work at very low concentrations of pM order. ILs and CSFs transduce their signal via specific cell-membrane receptors which usually consist of at least two subunits and belong to a newly identified superfamily of cytokine receptors. Characterization of cytokine/receptor system has had a considerable impact on many clinical fields including pathophysiology of diseases and therapy. For example, IL-4 and IL-5 has been revealed to play essential roles in IgE production in allergic diseases and eosinophilia in a hypereosinophilic syndrome, respectively. Receptor abnormality has also been proven to cause diseases; patients for X-linked severe combined immunodeficiency (X-SCID) have a specific defect in the gamma chain of the IL-2 receptor which is critical for thymic maturation of T cells. EPO, G-CSF, M-CSF, IFN, and IL-2 are already commercially available for therapeutic use. IL-1, IL-3, IL-6, and TNF may also be useful for mycosis fungoides, aplastic anemia, thrombocytopenia, and malignant melanoma, respectively. On the other hand, it is possible to modulate the immune response by using the monoclonal antibody directed to the cytokine receptor.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Arbitrary viewpoint video synthesis from uncalibrated multiple cameras (2002)

In this paper, we propose a method for arbitrary view synthesis from uncalibrated multiple camera system, targeting large space such as soccer stadium. In Projective Grid Space (PGS), that is the three-dimensional space defined by epipolar geometry between the two basis cameras in the camera system, we reconstruct three dimensional shape models from the silhouette images. By using the three dimensional shape model reconstructed in PGS, we can obtain the dense point correspondence map between reference images. The obtained correspondence can synthesize the image of arbitrary view between the reference images. We also propose the method for merging the synthesized images with the virtual background scene in PGS. We apply the proposed method to image sequences taken by the multiple camera system, which is developed in a large space on a concert hall. The synthesized image sequences of virtual camera have enough quality to demonstrate effectiveness of the proposed method.
Preparation and Structure of a Solid-State Hypervalent-Iodine Polymer Containing Iodine and Oxygen Atoms in Fused 12-Atom Hexagonal Rings (2007)

The treatment of dilute aqueous solutions of [hydroxy(tosyloxy)iodo]benzene with aqueous Mg(ClO4)2 produced thin elongated-hexagonal plates exhibiting a supramolecular structure in which tetra-mu-oxopentaiodanyl dication repeat units are joined to each other by significantly ionic bonds and each unit is associated with two perchlorate ions. The linearly extended cationic structure is formed from the 12-atom hexagonal rings of alternating iodine and oxygen atoms, a novel structure. Each 12-membered ring forms a nearly planar hexagonal shape with sides defined by almost linear O-I-O segments (175.7+/-1.6) degrees. The apexes are occupied by bridging oxide ligands where the I-O-I angles deviate only slightly from an ideal 120 degrees hexagonal angle (116.8+/-1.2) degrees, consistent with sp2 hybridization of the bridging oxygen atoms that participate in three-center four-electron bonds with iodine. These 12-atom hexagons are slightly "chair" distorted at the oxygen atoms. The planes of the rings are separated by layers containing the phenyl rings. The perchlorate ions reside in void spaces created by the three-up, three-down arrangement of the phenyl rings around each 12-membered I-O ring and are positioned directly above and below the I-O rings.
Chemistry, Biochemistry, and Dietary Role of Potato Polyphenols. A Review (1997)

Potatoes and other plant foods accumulate a variety of secondary metabolites, including phenolic compounds, phytoalexins, protease inhibitors, and glycoalkaloids, as a protection against adverse effects of mechanical bruising, light, and injury by predators including beetles, fungi, and insects. Since these phytochemicals are consumed by insects, animals, and humans as part of their normal diet, a need exists to develop a better understanding of the role of these compounds in both the plant and the diet. To contribute to this effort, this multidisciplinary overview describes analytical and compositional aspects of phenolic compounds in potatoes; their biosynthesis, molecular genetics, and role in host-plant resistance relationships; bruising-, ferrous ion-, and heat-induced discolorations such as after-cooking blackening and blackspot formation, which affect appearance and sensory properties of potatoes; polyphenol-oxidase-catalyzed enzymatic browning reactions and their prevention by chemical and plant molecular biology techniques; and effects of baking, cooking, microwaving, light, and γ-radiation on the stability of the major potato polyphenol, chlorogenic acid. Also covered are beneficial effects of phenolic compounds in the diet as antioxidants, antimutagens, anticarcinogens, antiglycemic, and hypocholesterolemic agents; adverse effects on protein nutritional quality; and recommendations for future research. Understanding the biochemical basis of stress-induced formation of polyphenols in plants, the chemistry of their transformations in the plant and in foods, and their functions in plant physiology, food science, nutrition, and health should stimulate interest in maximizing beneficial sensory, nutritional, and health effects of polyphenols in the diet. Such efforts should lead to better foods and improved human health.

Single-view obstacle detection for smart back-up camera systems (2012)

This paper presents an implementation of a 3D reconstruction algorithm for the detection of static obstacles from a single rear view parking camera. To guarantee efficiency and accuracy of the solution, we adopted a feature-based approach in which interest points are tracked to estimate the vehicle's motion and multiview triangulation is performed to reconstruct the scene. A full implementation of the algorithm has been achieved on a parallel SIMD array processor unit embedded in a smart automotive camera system. Current in-vehicle beta trials suggest that system's performance meets industrial requirements for real-world use in back-up camera systems.
"Streaking Leukocyte Factor," Arthritis, and Pyoderma Gangrenosum (1975)

A 14-year-old boy with a 12-year history of episodes of sterile pyarthrosis and cutaneous inflammation and ulceration was found to possess a serum factor which enhanced the random migration of leukocytes in vitro. The serum factor was isolated by Sephadex G-200 gel filtration and found to have a molecular weight of approximately 160,000. This partially purified principle enhanced the random migration of purified normal human neutrophils or mononuclear leukocytes by up to 200% without influencing chemotaxis. Trauma or other stimuli may lead to an accumulation of this serum factor in some tissues of the patient with resultant excessive leukocyte influx and heightened local activity of the leukocytes in the inflammatory exudate.
Hyperthermochemoradiotherapy and esophageal carcinoma (1986)

Cancer of the esophagus still poses considerable treatment problems, with a poor 5-year survival rate after surgery, an even worse outlook after radiation and surgery, and a not very satisfactory response to chemotherapy. After several years of continued research, in 1983 we developed a Radio Frequency System with endotract electrode and thermosensors for administering hyperthermochemoradiotherapy to patients with carcinoma of the esophagus. Results in 129 patients are discussed. Immediate improvement of subjective complaints and decrease or elimination of the cancer lesion are so distinct that this treatment, by means of an endotract antenna, shows promise as a modality for esophageal lesions and may find application in diseases such as colorectal cancer or carcinoma of the uterine cervix.
Effectiveness of turning with unequal time intervals on the incidence of pressure ulcer lesions (2006)

More frequent repositioning on a pressure-reducing mattress does not necessarily lead to fewer pressure ulcer lesions and consequently cannot be considered as a more effective preventive measure.
Globally Consistent Space‐Time Reconstruction (2010)

Abstract Most objects deform gradually over time, without abrupt changes in geometry or topology, such as changes in genus. Correct space‐time reconstruction of such objects should satisfy this gradual change prior. This requirement necessitates a globally consistent interpretation of spatial adjacency. Consider the capture of a surface that comes in contact with itself during the deformation process, such as a hand with different fingers touching one another in parts of the sequence. Naive reconstruction would glue the contact regions together for the duration of each contact and keep them apart in other parts of the sequence. However such reconstruction violates the gradual change prior as it enforces a drastic intrinsic change in the object's geometry at the transition between the glued and unglued sub‐sequences. Instead consistent global reconstruction should keep the surfaces separate throughout the entire sequence. We introduce a new method for globally consistent space‐time geometry and motion reconstruction from video capture. We use the gradual change prior to resolve inconsistencies and faithfully reconstruct the geometry and motion of the scanned objects. In contrast to most previous methods our algorithm doesn't require a strong shape prior such as a template and provides better results than other template‐free approaches.
Complications after cardiac implantable electronic device implantations: an analysis of a complete, nationwide cohort in Denmark (2013)

CIED complications are more frequent than generally acknowledged. Both patient- and procedure-related predictors may identify patients with a particularly high risk of complications. This information should be taken into account both in individual patient treatment and in the planning of future organization of CIED treatment.
A novel strategy to access high resolution DICOM medical images based on JPEG2000 interactive protocol (2008)

The demand for sharing medical information has kept rising. However, the transmission and displaying of high resolution medical images are limited if the network has a low transmission speed or the terminal devices have limited resources. In this paper, we present an approach based on JPEG2000 Interactive Protocol (JPIP) to browse high resolution medical images in an efficient way. We designed and implemented an interactive image communication system with client/server architecture and integrated it with Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS). In our interactive image communication system, the JPIP server works as the middleware between clients and PACS servers. Both desktop clients and wireless mobile clients can browse high resolution images stored in PACS servers via accessing the JPIP server. The client can only make simple requests which identify the resolution, quality and region of interest and download selected portions of the JPEG2000 code-stream instead of downloading and decoding the entire code-stream. After receiving a request from a client, the JPIP server downloads the requested image from the PACS server and then responds the client by sending the appropriate code-stream. We also tested the performance of the JPIP server. The JPIP server runs stably and reliably under heavy load.
Comparative Biochemical Studies of ^|^alpha;-Glucosidases (1962)

The properties of brewer's yeast α-glucosidase have been investigated. The enzyme was capable of hydrolyzing various α-glucosides and was active especially on aryl-α-glucosides in comparison with other α-glucosides and sugars. The rate of hydrolysis decreased in following order: phenyl-α-glucosides, sucrose, matlose and isomaltose.The range of opt. temp. was 40-45°C and opt. pH, 6.5-7.0.Cu++and Hg++inhibited strongly the enzyme activity and Zn++, moderately. The enzyme was suggested to be a sulfhydryl enzyme from the inhibition experiments by SH-reagents and the effects of glutathione on the activity.The enzyme synthesized some oligosaccharides from maltose. As the transglucosidation products, nigerose, isomaltose, kojibiose and maltotriose were detected by paperchromatography.Pure nigerosc was separated by splitting maltose with amyloglucosidase from the mixture of maltose and nigerose and by use of successive carbon column chromatography.

Effect of short‐term treatment with meloxicam and pimobendan on the renal function in healthy beagle dogs (2008)

The aim of the study was to investigate the renal function in clinically normal dogs receiving meloxicam and pimobendan alone or in combination. Ten adult female beagle dogs were administered the treatment for 7 days in a randomized crossover trial (control/meloxicam/pimobendan/meloxicam and pimobendan). Renal function was assessed by blood urea, creatinine, sodium, potassium and chloride concentrations and by glomerular filtration rate, measured by means of renal scintigraphy [renal uptake of (99m)Tc-diethylenetriaminepentacetic acid (DTPA)] and plasma clearance of (99m)Tc-DTPA. As compared with the control group, renal uptake and plasma clearance of (99m)Tc-DTPA were not significantly modified after a 7-day period of treatment with meloxicam or pimobendan alone, or meloxicam and pimobendan in combination. Furthermore, urea, creatinine, sodium, potassium and chloride levels in the serum of the dogs during the 7-day period treatment were not significantly modified in relation to the treatments. It was therefore concluded that meloxicam and pimobendan alone or in combination did not alter renal function in healthy dogs.

Layer-Aware Forward Error Correction for Mobile Broadcast of Layered Media (2011)

The bitstream structure of layered media formats such as scalable video coding (SVC) or multiview video coding (MVC) opens up new opportunities for their distribution in Mobile TV services. Features like graceful degradation or the support of the 3-D experience in a backwards-compatible way are enabled. The reason is that parts of the media stream are more important than others with each part itself providing a useful media representation. Typically, the decoding of some parts of the bitstream is only possible, if the corresponding more important parts are correctly received. Hence, unequal error protection (UEP) can be applied protecting important parts of the bitstream more strongly than others. Mobile broadcast systems typically apply forward error correction (FEC) on upper layers to cope with transmission errors, which the physical layer FEC cannot correct. Today's FEC solutions are optimized to transmit single layer video. The exploitation of the dependencies in layered media codecs for UEP using FEC is the subject of this paper. The presented scheme, which is called layer-aware FEC (LA-FEC), incorporates the dependencies of the layered video codec into the FEC code construction. A combinatorial analysis is derived to show the potential theoretical gain in terms of FEC decoding probability and video quality. Furthermore, the implementation of LA-FEC as an extension of the Raptor FEC and the related signaling are described. The performance of layer-aware Raptor code with SVC is shown by experimental results in a DVB-H environment showing significant improvements achieved by LA-FEC.
