Relevance of hereditary defects in lipid transport proteins for the pathogenesis of cholesterol gallstone disease (2004)

In the formation of cholesterol gallstones, cholesterol hypersecretion into bile causing cholesterol supersaturation and crystallization appears to be the primary factor, with disturbed gallbladder and intestinal motility as secondary factors. Although intestinal uptake mechanisms have not yet been fully elucidated, the HDL receptor scavenger receptor B1 (SRB1) may be involved. Since HDL-cholesterol, both from the intestine and peripheral sources, is the preferred type of cholesterol for biliary secretion, increased HDL transport to the liver can also cause cholesterol hypersecretion in bile. In the hepatocyte, bile formation is regulated by several transmembrane proteins, all belonging to the ABC family. A change in the activity in one of these proteins can have a profound impact on biliary lipid secretion. The bile salt export pump (BSEP or ABCB11) regulates the excretion of bile salts into bile and mutations cause severe cholestasis. The second ABC transporter, ABCB4 (MDR3) regulates the secretion in bile of phosphatidylcholine (PC), while ABCG5/G8 is active in the excretion of cholesterol and sterols into bile. These transporters also facilitate transport of sterols back into the intestinal lumen. Mutations in either of these genes cause sitosterolaemia with increased absorption of plant sterols and cholesterol. Until now, evidence for a genetic background of human gallstone disease is mostly indirect and based on ethnic differences. Only two single gene defects are associated with gallstones. One is an ABCB4 mutation which causes a deficiency in biliary PC secretion and the other is a CYP7A1 mutation, the rate-limiting enzyme in the synthesis of bile salts from cholesterol in the liver. Recently, several common DNA polymorphisms in the ABCG8 gene were discovered that are associated with variations in plasma sterols, which could also influence biliary cholesterol secretion, but there is still a paucity of human studies.

Is the Inclusion of Animal Source Foods in Fortified Blended Foods Justified? (2014)

Fortified blended foods (FBF) are used for the prevention and treatment of moderate acute malnutrition (MAM) in nutritionally vulnerable individuals, particularly children. A recent review of FBF recommended the addition of animal source food (ASF) in the form of whey protein concentrate (WPC), especially to corn-soy blends. The justification for this recommendation includes the potential of ASF to increase length, weight, muscle mass accretion and recovery from wasting, as well as to improve protein quality and provide essential growth factors. Evidence was collected from the following four different types of studies: (1) epidemiological; (2) ASF versus no intervention or a low-calorie control; (3) ASF versus an isocaloric non-ASF; and (4) ASF versus an isocaloric, isonitrogenous non-ASF. Epidemiological studies consistently associated improved growth outcomes with ASF consumption; however, little evidence from isocaloric and isocaloric, isonitrogenous interventions was found to support the inclusion of meat or milk in FBF. Evidence suggests that whey may benefit muscle mass accretion, but not linear growth. Overall, little evidence supports the costly addition of WPC to FBFs. Further, randomized isocaloric, isonitrogenous ASF interventions with nutritionally vulnerable children are needed.
End-to-end stream establishment in consumer home networks (2006)

This paper proposes a scheme for end-to-end stream establishment across a layer-2 Residential Ethernet (ResE) and the upper layer UPnP stack in consumer home networks. We first introduce a new proposal for a ResE subscription protocol. This protocol is used to set up guaranteed QoS layer-2 connections between ResE stations. We then propose an extension to the UPnP-AV architecture that enables a seamless integration of UPnP-AV applications and ResE layer 2 technologies. Our subscription protocol proposal is found to be suitable for this integration. The signaling to establish end-to-end AV streams in UPnP/ResE networks is described, and an example usage scenario is demonstrated.
Spontaneous Adenocarcinomas of the Ventral Prostate of Aged A X C Rats 2 (1975)

Spontaneous adenocarcinomas of the ventral prostate were present in 7 of 41 aged (34- to 37-month-old), virgin, untreated male A X C rats. The only consistent gross evidence of possible neoplastic involvement was intraprostate hemorrhage. The principally intraglandular neoplasms were composed of markedly anaplastic epithelial cells which retained a moderate propensity to form glandular patterns. The nuclei of the neoplastic cells were pleomorphic, vesiculated, enlarged, and hyperchromatic. Mitotic figures were frequent. Interglandular connective tissue was invaded in one rat; however, metastases were not demonstrated.
Persistent packet scheduling performance for Voice-over-IP in evolved UTRAN downlink (2008)

In this paper we present and analyze different packet scheduling mechanisms for Voice-over-IP (VoIP) in UTRAN Long Term Evolution Downlink. Dynamic packet scheduling provides multi-user and frequency domain scheduling gain, but at the expence of high control channel utilization. VoIP service with high number of simultaneous users and small packets can cause the control channel consumption to be the bottleneck for VoIP performance. Thus several persistent packet scheduling mechanisms have been proposed in 3GPP, such as fully persistent, talk-spurt based persistent and semi-persistent packet scheduling. We analyze the VoIP performance of different packet scheduling mechanisms by using fully dynamic system level simulations. We observe that with dynamic packet scheduling the VoIP capacity is restricted by the control channel capacity, whereas with persistent scheduling the capacity is restricted by the delay budget due to worse PRB SINR and resulting increased number of retransmissions.
CLOUD MASKING SCHEME BASED ON SPECTRAL, MORPHOLOGICAL AND PHYSICAL FEATURES (2005)

CHRIS/PROBA acquisitions are programmed in order to avoid cloud covers, but sometimes images present clouds to some extent. This paper presents the preliminary results of a novel approach to cloud detection based on the hyperspectral information contained in CHRIS Mode 1 images. After a preprocessing phase intended to reduce drop-out noise and vertical striping, physically relevant features are extracted from the scenes. A first classification stage based on thresholds is applied to obtain a mapping of the areas prone to contain cloudy pixels. A growing algorithm is applied in order to obtain a mask of the cloudy pixels that are clustered in an unsupervised way with the Expectation-Maximization algorithm afterwards. The spectral signatures of the prototypes of every cluster are compared to a library of signatures in order to correctly assign the cluster to well-defined classes. The performance of the method is tested in a series of four acquisition dates. Further work is required to assess its performance in a more generalized validation set and under different conditions, e.g. in presence of ice, sand, or uneven scenes. 1.

Application of hydrogenated amorphous silicon oxide layers to c-Si heterojunction solar cells (2007)

Wide-gap hydrogenated amorphous silicon oxide (a-SiO:H), fabricated by plasma process using SiH4 and CO2 gas mixture, has been applied to crystalline silicon (c-Si) heterojunction solar cells. It has been demonstrated that incorporation of an a-SiO:H p layer, instead of a hydrogenated amorphous silicon (a-Si:H) p layer, improves the conversion efficiency slightly. Moreover, when an a-SiO:H i layer is formed on the c-Si substrate, Si epitaxial growth that occurs at an a-Si:H∕c-Si heterointerface at high deposition temperatures can be prevented entirely. Accordingly, high-efficiency solar cells are fabricated more easily by applying a-SiO:H p-i layers to n-type c-Si heterojunction solar cells.
Investigations on a nickel accumulating plant: « Alyssum bertolonii » Desv. I. Nickel, calcium and magnesium content and distribution during growth (1977)

Summary Nickel, calcium and magnesium distribution has been followed during a whole year in different organs of Alyssum bertolonii Desv. on two ophiolitic outcrops in Tuscany, Monte Murlo (in the Upper Tiber Valley) and Impruneta (near Florence). The analytical results confirm that particularly leaves, fruits and seeds accumulate nickel, with higher values for the plants collected at Monte Murlo. Notwithstanding some differences in the proportion of the elements in the soils, A. bertolonii shows a tendency to reach similar calcium and magnesium contents in both localities. At Monte Murlo plants make a better growth, that is not related to a lower nickel content, but possibly to different ecological conditions which favour a longer life cycle, enhancing also nickel uptake.
Synthesis of .OMEGA.-tert-Butyl Esters of Aspartic Acid and Glutamic Acid via B,B-Difluoroboroxazolidones. (1996)

B, B-Difluoroboroxazolidones (DFBONs) were synthesized for the first time from salts of amino acid and BF3·Et2O, and their properties were examined. DFBONs were used in selective preparation of Glu(OBut) and Asp(OBut) in good yields under catalysis with BF3·Et2O and H3PO4. Amberlite XAD-2 resin was successfully employed to purify the above amino acid derivatives.
Attenuation of the Aggregation and Neurotoxicity of Amyloid‐β Peptides by Catalytic Photooxygenation (2013)

Alzheimer's disease (AD), a progressive severe neurodegenerative disorder, is currently incurable, despite intensive efforts worldwide. Herein, we demonstrate that catalytic oxygenation of amyloid-β peptides (Aβ) might be an effective approach to treat AD. Aβ1-42 was oxygenated under physiologically-relevant conditions (pH 7.4, 37 °C) using a riboflavin catalyst and visible light irradiation, with modifications at the Tyr(10) , His(13) , His(14) , and Met(35) residues. The oxygenated Aβ1-42 exhibited considerably lower aggregation potency and neurotoxicity compared with native Aβ. Photooxygenation of Aβ can be performed even in the presence of cells, by using a selective flavin catalyst attached to an Aβ-binding peptide; the Aβ cytotoxicity was attenuated in this case as well. Furthermore, oxygenated Aβ1-42 inhibited the aggregation and cytotoxicity of native Aβ.
Medium-term Storage of Apricot Shoot Tips In Vitro by Minimal Growth Method (1999)

Apricot ( Prunus armeniaca L. cv.'Helena') shoots grown on a proliferation medium containing 3% sucrose, 0.4 mg·L –1 benzyladenine (BA), and 0.04 mg·L –1 indolebutyric acid (IBA) and solidified with 0.6% agar were stored at three different temperatures in the dark for up to 24 weeks. All shoots remained viable for 24 weeks when stored at 3 °C, while at 14 °C the percentage of survival decreased quickly after 12 weeks of storage. At 7 °C, percentage of survival started to decline after 18 weeks of storage. Shoots stored at 3 °C had the highest regeneration rates and shoot lengths following transfer to standard proliferation conditions. This temperature also had a beneficial effect on shoot proliferation during the first 12 to 18 weeks of the experiment.
An ACL reconstruction navigation and evaluation system based on the video tracking (2009)

Entry position of the graft is very important in anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction. However the determination of entry position is very difficult to the surgeon. Methods: In this paper, a navigation and evaluation system based on the video tracking is implemented for the simulation evaluation and planning insertion points based on quadrant method for the femur and Staublis method for the tibia on the lateral X-ray image of knee joint. Meanwhile, the implementation of the key technologies such as image correction, image registration, C-arm calibration, video tracking, bone surface reconstruction, image fusion, and virtual simulation are introduced. Finally, Experiments about the tunnel planning method and real time tracking of surgical apparatus are implemented on 8 bone of plastic models (Sawbone, Swiss) and 10 bones of the goat ones. In the experiment, the tibia rotates around the femur under the surgeon's implementation to evaluate the planning result with the virtual simulation and evaluation module. Result: The positioning error is 1.59mm from analysis on 30 space targets. The virtual reconstruction ACL is satisfied with two important criteria of the best isometry and collision detection between graft and intercondylar surface of femur. The results are well accepted in operations. Conclusions: It can improve precision of the entry placement and quality of ACL reconstruction operation. Low position error satisfies the requirement of operations, and system performance has been verified by the experiment. Because the position can be assured effectively in time, it not only reduces the patient's additional pain, but also decreases the surgeon and patient's radiation.
Phonetic mismatch negativity predicts verbal memory deficits in schizophrenia (2006)

Deficits in auditory sensory memory at the electrophysiological level as indexed by mismatch negativity and those in auditory verbal memory at the neuropsychological level have been independently demonstrated in previous studies of schizophrenia. We predicted a specific association between these indices in schizophrenia. Mismatch negativities elicited by change in tone duration and phoneme duration were recorded in 23 schizophrenia patients, who were also evaluated for auditory verbal memory and executive function. Lower amplitude of mismatch negativity under the phoneme-duration condition was significantly associated with worse verbal memory. Phoneme-duration mismatch negativity was not correlated with executive function, nor was tone-duration mismatch negativity correlated with verbal memory. These results suggest that electrophysiological auditory sensory memory dysfunction underlies the basis for neuropsychological auditory verbal memory deficits in schizophrenia.
Eliminating Perforating-Related Formation Damage in Gravel-Pack Applications Utilizing New One-Trip-Sand Control Completion Technology (2005)

Abstract Formation damage caused by perforating is among the highest risks in well completion. This paper examines a new technology for completing wells in unconsolidated formations that installs a liner hanger and sand control mechanism in a single trip to eliminate explosive perforation charges and associated formation damage risk. In addition to eliminating perforating, the technology reduces the cost of well construction by allowing the production liner, flow conduit, primary cementing, and sand control tools to be run in a single trip. The perfless completion system uses telescoping tubes that extend from the liner into the formation by applying hydraulic pressure and mechanical force. Once the tubes are extended (or telescoped), the liner is cemented in place. The tubes, which contain sand control media, form conduits from the formation to the casing ID. No large, high-horsepower fluid pumping treatments are required. Neither are after-completion drilling mud and fluid-loss control measures, both of which can cause formation damage. The new completion method eliminates gravel packing and minimizes intervention in completion operations, saving substantial rig time. It also simplifies operation logistics, especially in remote or offshore environments. This new technology was developed by a Joint Investment Project (JIP) that included three major operators, a large service provider and a small technology company. This paper describes initial field test results of the new system, cost comparisons with existing methods, and expected economic benefits over the lifetime of wells in typical applications of this new technology. Introduction Reducing or eliminating formation damage caused by perforating can result in a more productive well over its lifetime. The history of formation damage caused by perforating has been well documented. Fractured and compacted zones, perforation gun debris, and broken formation blockages are common types of damage that can occur inside the perforation tunnel. Studies have shown that conventional perforating of cased wells can cause an increase in skin values, especially over the extended lifetime of the well. Studies have also shown that increasing the depth of penetration will increase not only the skin value of the well, but also the amount of fines in a perforation tunnel.

FORWARD CASCADE OF WHISTLER TURBULENCE: THREE-DIMENSIONAL PARTICLE-IN-CELL SIMULATIONS (2012)

This manuscript describes the first ensemble of three-dimensional (3D) particle-in-cell (PIC) plasma simulations of whistler turbulence. The computational model represents a collisionless, homogeneous, magnetized plasma on which an initial spectrum of relatively long wavelength whistler fluctuations is imposed. The simulations represent a range of initial fluctuation amplitudes and follow the temporal evolution of the system as it decays into a broadband, anisotropic, turbulent spectrum at shorter wavelengths via a forward cascade. The resulting 3D turbulence is similar in many ways to whistler turbulence from previous two-dimensional (2D) PIC simulations, although the anisotropies in 3D are stronger than in comparable 2D runs. The most important difference is that reduced magnetic fluctuation spectra from the 3D simulations show a clear break in the perpendicular wavenumber (k⊥) spectra. Spectra at small k⊥ are relatively steep, but spectra at larger k⊥ are even steeper, similar in character to magnetic spectra at electron scales recently measured in the solar wind.
Consortium Fine Localization of X-Linked Charcot-Marie-Tooth Disease (CMTX1): Additional Support that Connexin32 Is the Defect in CMTX1 (1995)

Charcot-Marie-Tooth (CMT) disease is the most common form of inherited motor and sensory neuropathy. X-linked CMT (CMTX1) has been localized to the pericentric region of the X chromosome. Recently, mutations have been defined in the connexin32 gene that cosegregate with the CMTX1 phenotype in several families. The present paper presents the results of an international consortium to fine map the gene for CMTX1 to a small segment of Xq12-13. The linkage data, together with the molecular genetic studies, support the hypothesis that connexin32 is the genetic defect in CMTX1.
