Imperial Borders (2019)

This chapter explores various ways that imperial enclaves could project power over their borders. Examples include the increasing power of European consuls in Tangier to adjudicate conflicts between Jews and Muslims throughout Morocco; the processes by which officials in Gibraltar and Melilla asserted control over regional trade networks by protecting smugglers; and the role of French Oran in serving as a landing point for Spanish and Moroccan refugees and dissidents. Taken together, these examples illustrate the formation of a constellation of power in the trans-Gibraltar borderland that curtailed the ability of the Spanish and Moroccan governments to administer their own laws. The chapter ends with a discussion of the crisis of 1898, which set in motion a cooperative effort by Spain, Britain, and France to clearly delineate imperial spheres of influence, producing the Entente Cordiale of 1904.
An approach to basic design of the PM-type spherical motor (2002)

The authors propose a spherical electromagnetic actuator using a surface motor. The main feature of this actuator is the ability to arrange the magnetic poles uniformly by distributing the stator's magnetic poles in triangular lattice. In this paper, we report the fundamental structure of this actuator and the secondary side permanent magnets arrangement, and we measure the thrust force characteristics of one phase excitation. The measurement result shows that the detent force distorts the thrust force waveform of one phase excitation.
Interactions between endocarditis-derived Streptococcus gallolyticus subsp. gallolyticus isolates and human endothelial cells (2010)

Our study provides the first description of S. gallolyticus subsp. gallolyticus adhesion and invasion of human endothelial cells, revealing important initial information of strain variability, behaviour and characteristics of this as yet barely analyzed pathogen.

Assessment of spatial and temporal clustering of ampicillin- and tetracycline-resistant strains of Pasteurella multocida and P haemolytica isolated from cattle in California (1998)

Results support the hypothesis that antimicrobial-resistant organisms can be clustered at the local level and reinforce the need to establish regional estimates of percentages of bacterial isolates that will be susceptible to commonly used antimicrobials.
Debrisoquine oxidation in an Australian population. (1986)

The standard laboratory method for determination of debrisoquine phenotype has been modified and shortened with no loss of sensitivity. Debrisoquine metabolic ratios (MR) at 4 and 8 h showed excellent correlation indicating that collection time can also be shortened. Same day phenotyping is therefore possible. One hundred normal, Caucasian Australian subjects were phenotyped (46 males, 54 females) and 6% were poor metabolisers (PM) of debrisoquine. Fifty of the original subjects were also acetylation phenotyped and 34% were fast and 66% slow acetylators. One PM of debrisoquine was a fast acetylator of sulphadimidine and four PM were slow acetylators. This was a non-significant association.
Antimicrobial activity of statistical polymethacrylic sulfopropylbetaines against gram‐positive and gram‐negative bacteria (2006)

Abstract A series of statistical copolymers derived from 2‐(dimethylamino)ethyl methacrylate with four different hydrophobic comonomers (ethyl, butyl, cyclohexyl, and octyl methacrylates) have been prepared via conventional free radical copolymerization under bulk conditions. The copolymers have been subsequently modified, with 1,3‐propanesultone to yield the corresponding polysulfoproylbetaine derivatives. Those copolymers exhibiting the requisite aqueous solubility have been screened with respect to their antimicrobial activity against two common and notorious pathogens, namely Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) and Escherichia coli (E. coli) . We show that certain copolymers do indeed exhibit antimicrobial activity. The extent of activity is related to the molecular characteristics of the materials such as the molar composition and structure of the hydrophobic comonomer. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Abstract The reaction of isatoic anhydrides with potassium cyanide is described. The stoichiometry of the reactants and reaction times dictate the formation of either 2‐imino‐3‐indolinones or spiro[indoline‐2,2′(1′ H )quinazolines]. Some spectral data is also discussed.
Aromatherapy and Diabetes (2001)

Aromatherapy has a long history of use. Dating back to the time of Hippocrates, skin problems were treated with aromatic baths.1 Since then, essential oils have been used continuously not just for their pleasant aromas, but also for their medical properties.

The renaissance of aromatherapy occurred in France in the 1940s with three individuals in the medical field. Gattefosse, a French chemist, burned his hand and arm so badly that gas gangrene set in. At that time, the only treatment for gas gangrene was amputation, but Gattefosse used essential oil of lavender, and his wounds healed rapidly. He was so impressed that he dedicated his life to the use of essential oils for skin problems.2 Valnet, a physician, used essential oils on wounds in the Indo-China war when antibiotics ran out.3 Maury, a surgical assistant, carried out research on how essential oils helped skin elasticity and integrity and assisted wound healing.4

Nurses have also been involved in aromatherapy. During the past 10 years, nurses have been using aromatherapy as an enhancement of nursing care in Australia, South Africa, Germany, Switzerland, the UK, and, more recently, the United States. The idea that nursing care could be enhanced with pleasant smells and gentle touch is not a new one. Florence Nightingale was famous for anointing the foreheads of her wounded soldiers with lavender oil.

Hospitals can be frightening for many people, and the smells of hospitals can compound their fear. Chronic slow-healing wounds can mean repeated hospital visits. A judicious use of essential oils can put some hospitality back into our hospitals, reduce the stress of coping for both staff and patients, improve wound care, and also reduce the possibility of chronic infection.

Clinical aromatherapy is the therapeutic use of essential oils, the efficacy of which is supported …
Task placement heuristic based on 3D-adjacency and look-ahead in reconfigurable systems (2006)

To get efficient HW management in 2D Reconfigurable Systems, heuristics are needed to select the best place to locate each arriving task. We propose a technique that locates the task next to the borders of the free area for as many cycles as possible, trying to minimize the area fragmentation. Moreover, we combine it with a look-ahead heuristic that allows delaying the scheduling of a task to the next event, increasing the solution search space.
Intratumoral Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor Antisense DNA Therapy in Head and Neck Cancer: First Human Application and Potential Antitumor Mechanisms (2009)

Intratumoral EGFR AS was safe and resulted in antitumor activity in patients with advanced SCCHN. Baseline levels of high EGFR and low STAT3 may be associated with antitumor effects.
Random Noise Attenuation Using Local Signal and Noise Orthogonalization (2015)

Summary We propose a novel approach to attenuate random noise based on local signal-and-noise orthogonalization. In this approach, we first remove noise using one of the conventional denoising operators, and then apply a weighting operator to the noise section in order to retrieve additional components of the useful signal. Next, the initially denoised section and the retrieved signal are combined to form the final denoised section. The weighting operator is obtained by solving a least-squares minimization problem via shaping regularization with a local-smoothness constraint. The proposed denoising approach corresponds to orthogonalizing the initially denoised signal and noise in a local manner. Field data example demonstrates an excellent performance of the proposed approach.
Liquid wax ester production by Euglena gracilis. (1987)

Euglena gracilis strain Z produced liquid wax esters when it was incubated anaerobically in the presence of unsaturated fatty acids after aerobic cultivation for 3 days on a glucose-peptone medium. On anaerobic incubation for 6 days with the supplementation of 1 % of oleic acid, linoleic acid, α-linolenic acid or ricinoleic acid, 6.9-8.4g/liter of wax esters was accumulated in the cells. The yields increased to about 50% of the dry cell weight, and all of the wax esters were in the liquid state at room temperature. Gas-liquid chromatographic analysis showed that the unsaturated fatty acids provided not only the acyl moiety of the wax esters but also the alkoxy one, which was formed through reduction to the corresponding fatty alcohols and then incorporated into the wax esters.
Probabilistic Reinterpretation of Collaborative Filtering Approaches Considering Cluster Information of Item Contents (2005)

With the development of e-commerce and the proliferation of easily accessible information, information filtering has become a popular technique to prune large information spaces so that users are directed toward those items that best meet their needs and preferences. While many collaborative filtering systems have succeeded in capturing the similarities among users or items based on ratings to provide good recommendations, there are still some challenges for them to be more efficient, especially the user bias problem, non-transitive association problem and cold start problem. Those three problems impede us to capture more accurate similarities among users or items. In this paper, we provide probabilistic model approaches for UCHM and ICHM which are suggested to solve the addressed problems in hopes of achieving better performance. In this probabilistic model, objects (users or items) are classified into groups and predictions are made for users considering the Gaussian distribution of user ratings. Experiments on a real-word data set illustrate that our proposed approach is comparable with others.
Compact Mach-Zehnder acousto-optic modulator (2006)

The authors demonstrate a compact optical waveguide modulator based on a Mach-Zehnder interferometer driven by surface acoustic waves. The modulator was monolithically fabricated on GaAs with an active region length of approximately 15μm. It yields peak-to-peak modulation exceeding 90% of the average transmission and operation in the gigahertz frequency range.
IL-13 receptor α 2 down-modulates granulomatous inflammation and prolongs host survival in schistosomiasis (2003)

An important feature of many chronic parasitic infections is the ability of the invading pathogen and host to establish a compromise, which ensures successful parasitism without killing the infected host. For many helminth infections, down-modulating the immune response is critical because persistent inflammation can become more damaging to the host than the invading pathogen itself. Such is the case with schistosomiasis mansoni, where chronic granulomatous inflammation in the liver causes portal hypertension, porto-pulmonary shunting, bleeding from collateral bypass vessels, and eventual death if not suppressed effectively. CD4 + T helper type 2 cells (Th2) (secreting IL-4, IL-5, and IL-13) characterize the host response after Schistosoma mansoni infection, and recent studies have identified IL-13 as the principal mediator of hepatic fibrosis. Here, we show that the IL-13 receptor α 2 (IL-13Rα2) is a critical mediator of immune down-modulation, identifying the receptor as a life-sustaining off signal for chronic and pernicious inflammation in schistosomiasis.
pH imaging (2004)

Acid-base balance is altered in a variety of common pathologies, including COPD, ischemia, renal failure, and cancer. Because of robust cellular pH homeostatic mechanisms, most of the pathological alterations in pH are expressed as changes in the extracellular, systemic pH. There are data to indicate that altered pH is not simply an epiphenomenon of metabolic or physiologic imbalance but that chronic pH alterations can have important sequelae. MRSI and MRI measurements indicate that pH gradients of up to 1.0 pH unit can exit within 1-cm distance. Although measurement of blood pH can indicate systemic problems, it cannot pinpoint the lesion or quantitatively assess the magnitude of excursion from normal pHe. Hence, there is a need to develop pHe measurement methods with high spatiotemporal resolution. The two major approaches being investigated include magnetization transfer methods and relaxation methods. pH-dependent MT effects can observed with endogenous signals or exogenously applied CEST agents. While endogenous signals have the advantage of being fully noninvasive and relatively straightforward to apply, they lack a full biophysical characterization and dynamic range that might be afforded by future CEST agents. pH-dependent relaxivity also requires the injection or infusion of exogenous contrast reagents. In both MT and relaxographic approaches, the magnitude of the effect, and, thus, the ability to quantify pHe, depends on a spatially and temporally varying concentration of the CR. A number of approaches have been proposed to solve this problem and, once it is solved, pH imaging methods will be applicable to human clinical pathologies.
Safety and efficacy of imiquimod 5% cream in the treatment of penile genital warts in uncircumcised men when applied three times weekly or once per day (2001)

This dose-escalation study was performed to evaluate safety and efficacy of imiquimod 5% cream in the treatment of uncircumcised men with penile warts associated with the foreskin. The cream was applied 3 times/week (n=34) or once per day (n=30) over 8+/-2 h. Imiquimod 5% cream was safe in both treatment groups. However, the 3 times/week regimen was better tolerated with a lower incidence of local skin reactions. In both groups, the 2 most frequently reported local skin reactions were erythema and erosion; they were more severe with the once-daily dosing. The most frequently reported application site reactions were burning, pruritus and irritation or pain (once-daily patients only). Total clearance was achieved in 62% of the patients in the 3 times/week group and by 57% in the once-daily group. Thus, imiquimod 5% cream administered 3 times/week was the optimal dosing regimen in the treatment of penile warts in uncircumcised men.
Antibodies to Coprococcus comes in sera of patients with Crohn's disease. Isolation and purification of the agglutinating antigen tested with an ELISA technique. (1987)

Previous studies showed that agglutinating antibodies to Coprococcus comes, an anaerobic Gram-positive coccoid rod isolated from the faecal flora of patients with Crohn's disease, are more frequently found in sera of Crohn patients than in ulcerative colitis patients and healthy subjects. Isolation of the antigen may be useful in developing a more sensitive and specific diagnostic test. The present study describes first a method to improve the presentation of the relevant agglutinating antigen by the bacterium and second, the purification by column chromatography of a relatively crude antigen extract of C. comes described previously by Hazenberg et al. (1). Comparative results with the agglutination reactions and ELISA technique of extensive series of patients with Crohn's disease and healthy subjects have shown that the agglutinating antigen of C. comes has been isolated. Although the present ELISA technique cannot replace the simple and reliable agglutination reaction for screening purposes, the purified antigen will allow further immunological studies and it is to be hoped that a deeper insight into pathogenesis of the disease will be gained.
Bivalent HPV16/18 L1 VLP vaccine induces cross-neutralizing antibodies that may mediate cross-protection (155.27) (2011)

Abstract Human papillomavirus (HPV) L1 VLP-based vaccines are protective against HPV vaccine-related types; however, correlates of protection have not been defined. We observed that vaccination with the HPV-16/18 L1 VLP vaccine induced cross-neutralizing antibodies for HPV types for which evidence of vaccine efficacy has been demonstrated (HPV31/45) but not for other types for which no cross-protection was observed (HPV52/58). In addition, HPV31/45 cross-neutralizing titers showed a significant increase with number of doses (HPV31, p&lt;0.001; HPV45, p&lt;0.001) and correlated with HPV16/18 neutralizing titers, respectively. Cross-neutralizing antibody titers were much lower than those observed for the homologous vaccines types but persisted over 36 months of follow-up. Increases in antibody avidity occurred with increased doses of vaccine but levels of avidity did not correlate well with antibody titers. Our findings support the hypothesis that cross-neutralizing antibodies are effectors of the cross-protection observed for the HPV16/18 vaccine. Further studies are needed to better understand the potential role of avidity in protection against infection.
Very small MOSFET's for low-temperature operation (1977)

The improvements in the device characteristics of n-channel MOSFET's that occur at low temperatures are considered in this paper. The device parameters for polysilicon gate FET's with channel lengths of the order of 1 µm have been studied both experimentally and theoretically at temperatures ranging from room temperature down to liquid nitrogen temperature. Excellent agreement was found between the experimental dc device characteristics and those predicted by a two-dimensional current transport model, indicating that device behavior is well understood and predictable over this entire temperature range. A device design is presented for an enhancement mode FET with a channel length of I µm that is suitable for operation at liquid nitrogen temperature.
Binding Hardware and Software to Prevent Firmware Modification and Device Counterfeiting (2016)

Embedded systems are small scale computing devices that are increasingly located in more of the items we use and own. The number of embedded systems in the world is increasing dramatically as the "internet of things" concept becomes more prevalent in the market. The value of the market for embedded systems is predicted to increase to being worth trillions of dollars by 2020. With great value in the embedded system market, there is a need for preventing unauthorised firmware tampering or product counterfeiting. Here is presented a technique for binding software to hardware instances that uses hardware intrinsic security properties of the devices being protected. The proposed technique provides assurance to manufacturers that only they can perform their hardware and software binding and create their products. Also presented is an FPGA implementation of the described scheme that binds the hardware and software together with only a 6.7% increase in execution time. Thus, making it difficult for an attacker to either counterfeit the device or extract the (software) Intellectual Property.
