[The fibrinolytic system of bronchial asthma patients in the late terms of pregnancy]. (1992)

Women suffering of infectious-dependent bronchial asthma show at the second half of pregnancy a sharp reduction of the fibrinolytic potential that is manifested in a decrease of plasminogen activator and urokinase activity of the urine, in an elevation of the antiactivator and antiplasmin activity, growth of the concentration of alpha2-macroglobulins. At the same time high levels of fibrinogen are noted and low levels of fibrin degradation.
True technology-enabled mental health care: trust, agency and ageing (2018)

Technology and ageing is a subject which attracts intense interest. In part, this is undoubtedly due to the search for a solution which will help manage the scale, costs and predicted impact of demographic change (1). However, it arguably also reflects a fascination with imagining futures, both in personal and social terms.
Adding semantics to internet of things (2014)

Summary The development of Internet of Things (IoT) applications can be facilitated by encoding the meaning of the data in the messages sent by IoT nodes, but the constrained resources of these nodes challenge the common Semantic Web solutions for doing this. In this article, we examine enabling technologies for adding semantics to the IoT. Especially, we analyze data formats, which enable IoT applications consume semantic IoT data in a straightforward and general fashion, and evaluate resource usage of different alternatives with a sensor system. Our experiment illustrates encoding and decoding of different data formats and shows how big a difference a data format can make in energy consumption. Copyright © 2014 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
Purification and properties of inducible penicillin beta-lactamase isolated from Pseudomonas maltophilia (1982)

Two types of beta-lactamase were found in the cell-free extract from Pseudomonas maltophilia GN12873. One was an inducible penicillin beta-lactamase, and the other was an inducible cephalosporin beta-lactamase. The purified penicillin beta-lactamase gave a single protein band on polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The isoelectric point was 6.9, and the approximate molecular weight was 118,000 by gel filtration and 26,000 by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, suggesting that this enzyme consisted of four subunits. For the hydrolysis of penicillin G, the optimal pH was 8.0 and the optimal temperature was 35 degrees C. The enzyme activity was inhibited by cephamycin derivatives, carpetimycins A and B, iodine, and HgCl2, but not by clavulanic acid. Furthermore, beta-lactamase activity was almost completely inhibited by EDTA but was recovered by the addition of zinc ion. The enzyme showed a unique substrate profile, hydrolyzing N-formimidoyl thienamycin at a significant rate.
Acidic properties of mixed tin+antimony oxide catalysts (1978)

Mixed oxides of tin and antimony have been used as catalysts in a static system and outgassed both at room temperature and at 698 K in a study of the approximately zero order stages of the isomerization of 3,3-dimethylbut-1-ene (373 K), cyclopropane (411 K), but-1-ene (293 K) and cis-but-2-ene (293 K) and of the dehydration of isopropanol (343 and 408 K). With catalysts outgassed at room temperature, weakly acidic sites are present, and all the reactions probably occur by a carbonium ion type of mechanism with Brönsted acid sites as a source of protons. Rates increase to a maximum as the antimony content increases from zero to ≈ 50 atomic %, and then decline with further increase in the antimony content. Outgassing of the catalysts at 698 K increased the rate of isomerization of 3,3-dimethylbut-1-ene, but for cyclopropane and isopropanol decreased rates were observed due to poisoning by the propene product. For but-1-ene and cis-but-2-ene, the higher temperature outgassing procedure changed the rate against catalyst composition pattern considerably in that only catalysts with less than 50 % Sb were active, and a mechanism involving an allyl intermediate is proposed. Catalyst activity could be poisoned by treatment with bases or with sodium acetate. It is concluded on the basis of a proposed correlation between rates and acidity, that the catalyst composition corresponding to maximum acidity is different from that for maximum selective oxidation activity.
Mechano‐electrochemical approach for 304 SS interface covered with polymeric coating materials reinforced with exotic rare earth oxides (2000)

304 SS substrates have been covered with polymeric class low melting barriers, like polyurethane, acrylate and epoxy with and without incorporation of eco‐friendly (non‐toxic) ceramic particular of antifouling origin. The results of corrosion resistance tests are encouraging. Other physical parameters like hardness, adhesion, scratch resistance are also studied, for these synergistically organized low melting point barrier layers.
Microwave assisted synthesis of CdSe nanocrystals for straightforward integration into composite photovoltaic devices (2005)

A preparative route for a nanocrystalline CdSe/polymer nanocomposite that is easily integrated into photovoltaic device fabrication has been developed. Microwave assisted synthesis is used to initiate the reaction of relatively safe, inexpensive and air stable precursors. Particles size may be varied from 20 Å to 60 Å in diameter. The CdSe nanocrystals show near band-edge photoemission, are crystalline and may be incorporated into a poly(9,9-dioctylfluorene-2,7-diyl-alt-9-octylcarbazole-3,6-diyl) copolymer. This polymer/CdSe composite can be directly cast, without complicated work-up, for the preparation of photovoltaic devices.

Hybrid Segmentation Method for Malignancy Detection Using Fuzzy-C-Means and Active Contour Model (2012)

Image segmentation is the first stage of processing in many practical computer vision systems. Development of segmentation algorithms has attracted considerable research interest, relatively little work has been published on the subject of their evaluation. Hence this paper enumerates and reviews mainly the image segmentation algorithms namely Fuzzy C means, Active Contour Model. The rapid progress in computerized medical image reconstruction, and the associated developments in analysis methods and computer-aided diagnosis, has propelled medical imaging into one of the most important sub-fields in scientific imaging. The proposed paper is an innovative frame work of hybrid segmentation technology with region based techniques and active contour models. The drawback of the parametric Active contour models is manual control points. But the proposed technology automatically assigned control points using Fuzzy-c-means clustering techniques. This approach is suitable for medical application like cancer cells for MRI, PET scan. Since the medical images are in very low contrast. Fuzzy-C-means gives the approximated boundary from that the control points are randomly selected. This combined approach will give accurate result for especially cancer cell detection. The FCM(3) performed the skin detection based on decision rules in hybrid space. (3) a novel segmentation technique for color images is presented. The segments in images are found automatically based on a novel FCM algorithm by using I and H components in HIS color space to form a new feature. (4) SWFCM cluster algorithm and we called it NSWFCM. The system can be used as a primary tool to segment unknown colour images. The algorithm has been implemented on a set of images. Results show that the system performance is robust to different types of images compared to FCM and SWFCM. The difficulty over re- initialization process is handled by Chumming Li et, al. In this paper level set method without re-initialization procedure was introduced. Here the new variation AL formulation of level set function with a closed sighed distance function is used to eliminate the costly re-initialization process. clustering algorithms namely centroid based K-Means and representative object based Fuzzy C-Means. These two algorithms are implemented and the performance is analyzed based on their clustering result quality. The behavior of both the algorithms depends on the number of data points as well as on the number of clusters (5).points are generated by two ways, one by
Quantitative anatomy of the cervical facet and the posterior projection of its inferior facet. (1997)

For this study, 41 cervical spines from C3 to C7 were directly evaluated. Anatomic evaluation of the cervical superior and inferior facets included the facet height, width, and angulation relative to the coronal plane. The projection of the inferior facet on the posterior aspect of the lateral mass was constructed and measured, and the dimensions of the lateral mass were evaluated. In general, the male linear parameters were larger than the female parameters, but the male angular dimensions were smaller than those of females. The posterior projection height of the inferior facet was found to be 7.4-9.0 mm from C3 to C7 for both sexes and was approximately 2 mm larger than half the height of the lateral mass. C6 and C7 had relative larger superior and inferior facet angles. The lateral mass was thinner at the level of C6-7. This study indicated that there may be a risk of violating the inferior articular facet and the related superior articular facet of the most caudal facet joint if a screw starting at the midpoint or below the midpoint of the lateral mass is directed perpendicular to the posterior aspect of the lateral mass at the level of C3-7.
Methods in coccidiosis research: separation of oocysts from faeces (1976)

Factors which may be important in the large-scale extraction of coccidial oocysts from faeces have been investigated with Eimeria tenella . Age of bird, inoculum, feeding status at the time of inoculation, period of collection, feeding status during collection, collection medium, homogenization and sieving, flotation, washing, sporulation and further purification have all been considered. The aim has been to establish a method to produce the maximum number of oocysts of a required degree of purity and viability, with the expenditure of the minimum amount of physical effort, time, animals and chemicals. In our method, groups of chickens 3–4 weeks of age are inoculated with 5000 oocysts of E. tenella and food is supplied ad lib . Over the period 5–8 days after inoculation, faeces are collected in trays containing 2% (w/v) potassium dichromate solution, while food intake is restricted. The faecal material is homogenized, passed once through 40 and 100 mesh sieves, centrifuged and the oocysts recovered from the sediment by 3 flotations in saturated salt solution. Following washing, oocysts are sporulated by forced aeration at 30°C and may be further purified by hypochlorite treatment, or passage in 5% Tween 80 solution through a glass bead column followed by sucrose density gradient centri-fugation. Routine passages along these lines over a 5 year period have given a recovery of 46% of the oocysts excreted by over 7000 birds.
Interface Properties of Si-(SiO[sub 2])-Al[sub 2]O[sub 3] Structures (1970)

Aluminum oxide films have been deposited on silicon substrates at 420°C by thermal decomposition of aluminum‐isopropoxide. An electrical evaluation of the interface properties of and structures has been made. MOS capacitance measurements have shown the important role of a postdeposition heat treatment in O2 in eliminating room‐temperature hysteresis and reducing the scatter in flat‐band voltage values of structures. This treatment has an overriding effect on the influence of deposition conditions on interface properties. The density of interface states varies from 1010 to 1011 cm−2 (eV) −1, and the flat‐band voltage (for ∼1000Aå oxide) is about + 2V. The flat‐band voltage gradually shifts to more positive values under large negative bias (field ∼106 V/cm) at 250°C. There is a strong tendency toward localized conduction in these films and there are indications that conduction is controlled by the interface (s) rather than by the bulk material. This problem was alleviated by growing a thin film (∼200Aå) on Si prior to deposition. The interface properties of structures depend on the Si orientation. For (100) orientation, the density of interface states is about 1010 cm−2 (eV)−1 and the flat‐band voltage is zero. The radiation resistance of deposited is better than that of and comparable to that of films prepared by plasma anodization. Irradiation by 1 MeV electrons under +10V bias introduces a density of positive oxide charge of a few times 1012 e/cm2.
Nonlinear tolerant long-haul WDM transmission over 1200km using 538Gb/s/ch PDM-64QAM SC-FDM signals with pilot tone (2012)

We investigate long-haul WDM transmission using 538Gb/s PDM-64QAM singlecarrier frequency-division-multiplexing (SC-FDM) signal with pilot tone. Assuming 20% FEC overhead, the longest transmission distance of 1200km at the spectral efficiency of 8.96b/s/Hz is achieved.
Diffusion Barrier Deposition on a Copper Surface by Atomic Layer Deposition (2002)

Diffusion barrier materials, TiN and WN, were deposited by atomic layer deposition (ALD). The chlorine concentration of the TiN film was as low as 1.2 at.-%, and resistivity was below 200 μΩ cm. Ultra high aspect ratio (AR = 85) trenches were used to assess step coverage. Tungsten nitride film, deposited from WF6 and ammonia, was found to have high resistivity, although the residue content was low. The barrier deposition compatibility was studied using the copper surface exposed on the bottom of vias in the copper dual-damascene structure. The deposition on copper of both TiN and WN was found to be very challenging.

<sup>127</sup>I-NQR, <sup>119</sup> Sn Mössbauer Effect, and Electrical Conductivity of MSnI<sub>3</sub> (M = K, NH<sub>4</sub> , Rb, Cs, and CH<sub>3</sub>NH<sub>3</sub> ) (1990)

Abstract In a series of MSnI 3 compounds (M = K, NH 4 , Rb, Cs, CH 3 NH 3 ) two types of coordination around the central Sn(II) were found by 127 I-NQR and powder X-ray diffraction techniques. They are square pyramidal (for M = NH 4 , Rb) and octahedral (for M = CH 3 NH 3 ). CsSnI 3 , on the other hand, showed a drastic structural change of the anion at 425 K from a square pyramid to a regular octahedron. Associated with this phase transition, the electrical conductivity increased from 4 x 10 -3 S cm -1 to about 10 2 S cm -1 . This metallic modification was characterized by 127 I-NQR and 119 Sn Mössbauer spectroscopy.
Effects of MicroRNAs on Fucosyltransferase 8 (FUT8) Expression in Hepatocarcinoma Cells (2013)

Fucosyltransferase 8 (FUT8) catalyzes the transfer of α1,6-linked fucose to the first N-acetylglucosamine in N-linked glycans (core fucosylation). Increased core fucosylation has been reported during hepatocarcinogenesis, in both cell-associated and secreted proteins. Accordingly, increased core fucosylation of α-fetoprotein and α1-antitrypsin is currently used as a diagnostic and prognostic indicator. The present study provides new evidences that FUT8 can be regulated also through miRNA-mediated mechanisms. Using microRNA/target prediction programs, we identified miR-122 and miR-34a seed regions in the 3' untranslated region (3'UTR) of FUT8. Then we used human and rodents hepatocarcinoma cell lines to evaluate the impact of transfection of miR-122 and miR-34a mimics on FUT8 mRNA and protein levels. This study demonstrated that forced expression of these miRNAs is able to induce a decrease of FUT8 levels and also to affect core fucosylation of secreted proteins. The ability of miR-122 and miR-34a to specifically interact with and regulate the 3'UTR of FUT8 was demonstrated via a luciferase reporter assay. Since miR-122 and miR-34a downregulation is a common feature in spontaneous human hepatocarcinoma, our finding that these miRNAs are able to target FUT8 3'UTR suggests that, together with transcriptional and other post-transcriptional systems, a miRNA-mediated mechanism could also be involved in the increased core fucosylation observed in liver tumors. Moreover, these findings also point out that miRNAs may be widely involved in the regulation of glycosylation machinery.
Hypoxylonols A and B, Novel Reduced Benzo[<i>j</i>]fluoranthene Derivatives from the Mushroom <i>Hypoxylon </i><i>t</i><i>runcatum</i> (2002)

Two novel reduced benzo[j]fluoranthene derivatives, hypoxylonols A (3-ethoxy-1,4,9-trihydroxy-1,2,3,6b-tetrahydrobenzo[j]fluoranthen-8(7H)-one) (1) and B (3-methoxy-1,4,9-trihydroxy-1,2,3,6b-tetrahydrobenzo[j]fluoranthen-8(7H)-one) (2), were isolated from the fruiting bodies of the mushroom Hypoxylon truncatum. The structures of these compounds were established on the basis of 1D and 2D NMR spectroscopic data.
Nonlinear magneto-optical rotation with amplitude modulated light (2006)

The technique of nonlinear magneto-optical rotation with amplitude modulated light is developed. The technique is an alternative to its counterpart with frequency modulated light and can be applied to sensitive measurements of magnetic fields ranging from microgauss to the Earth-field level. The rotation signals exhibit nontrivial features such as narrowed non-Lorentzian line shapes and multicomponent resonances.
Plasma Progesterone Levels During Saline-Induced Abortion (1970)

Thirty-three normal, midtrimester patients were given injections of hypertonic saline, and 5 similar patients received injections of isotonic saline by intra-amniotic administration. During a 20 hr observation period plasma progesterone levels of patients treated with isotonic saline remained relatively constant, and no clinical progress was evident. In contrast, those patients receiving hypertonic saline showed a significant decrease in plasma progesterone to levels which averaged 53% below the initial value before abortion. 20α-Hydroxypregn-4-en-3-one (20α-OH-P) levels also decreased following hypertonic saline administration. These findings are consistent with earlier conclusions that progesterone withdrawal may be causally related to the physiological and clinical consequences of hypertonic saline treatment and that the effect may be mediated by a decrease in the placental biosynthesis of progesterone.
Analysis and Testing of Ajax-based Single-page Web Applications (2009)

This dissertation has focused on better understanding the shifting web paradigm and the consequences of moving from the classical multi-page model to an Ajax-based single-page style. Specifically to that end, this work has examined this new class of software from three main software engineering perspectives. Software Architecture: to gain an abstract understanding of the key architectural properties of Ajax applications; Software Reengineering: to understand the implications of a migration from classical multi-page web systems to single-page Ajax variants. Software Analysis and Testing: to explore strategies for analyzing and testing this new breed of web application. The work presented in this dissertation aims at advancing the state-of-the-art in comprehending, analyzing, and testing standards-based single-page web applications, by means of a new architectural style, a significant set of techniques and tools, and case study reports. These contributions are aimed at helping software and web engineers better comprehend and deal with the complexity of highly dynamic and interactive web systems.
Electrowetting optical switch (1982)

Continuous electrowetting (CEW) and refractive index matching have been used as the physical basis of an optical switch for multimode fibers. This switch has low cross talk (∼−30 dB), fast response times (∼20 ms), low operating voltage (∼1 V), and low power consumption (∼1 μW).
The Italian AICE-Genetics hemophilia A database: results and correlation with clinical phenotype (2008)

We report a wide spectrum of mutations in a large national database. The type of mutation was a strong predictor of the clinical phenotype. This database is expected to considerably improve the genetic counselling and medical care of families with hemophilia A in Italy.
Viewing-angle-enhanced integral 3-D imaging using double display devices with masks (2002)

Viewing-angle-enhanced integral 3-D imaging using double display devices with masks is proposed. In this approach, the total system consists of two integral imaging systems with masks, and the integrated images from each system are combined spatially. By using double display devices with masks instead of time-multiplexed images, this scheme does not require the after-image effect or mechanical moving parts. The viewing area where an observer can see the 3-D image without elemental image overlapping is remarkably enhanced by this method.
Evaluation Of Attribute Ii Bt Sweet Corn Resistance And Reduced-Risk Insecticide Applications For Control Of Corn Earworm (2014)

The corn earworm, <em>Helicoverpa zea </em>Boddie, is a serious pest of corn. Larval feeding in ear tips destroys kernels and allows growth of fungi and production of mycotoxins. Infested sweet corn is not marketable. Development of improved transgenic hybrids expressing insecticidal toxins from <em>Bacillus thuringiensis </em>(Bt) may limit or prevent crop losses. The effectiveness of Attribute<sup>®</sup> II Bt resistance and applications of Voliam Xpress insecticide were evaluated for effectiveness in controlling corn earworm in plots near Urbana, IL, USA, in 2013. Where no insecticides were applied, ear infestations and kernel damage in Attribute<sup>®</sup> II ‘Protector’ plots were consistently lower (near zero) than in plots of the non-Bt isoline ‘Garrison.’ Multiple applications of Voliam Xpress significantly reduced the number of corn earworm larvae and kernel damage in the Garrison plots, but infestations and damage in these plots were greater than in Protectorplots that did not receive insecticide applications. Our results indicate that Attribute<sup>®</sup> II Bt resistance is more effective than multiple applications of an insecticide for preventing losses caused by corn earworm in sweet corn.
