Multiphase and Double-Layer NiFe<sub>2</sub>O<sub>4</sub>@NiO-Hollow-Nanosphere-Decorated Reduced Graphene Oxide Composite Powders Prepared by Spray Pyrolysis Applying Nanoscale Kirkendall Diffusion (2015)

Multicomponent metal oxide hollow-nanosphere decorated reduced graphene oxide (rGO) composite powders are prepared by spray pyrolysis with nanoscale Kirkendall diffusion. The double-layer NiFe2O4@NiO-hollow-nanosphere decorated rGO composite powders are prepared using the first target material. The NiFe-alloy-nanopowder decorated rGO powders are prepared as an intermediate product by post-treatment under the reducing atmosphere of the NiFe2O4/NiO-decorated rGO composite powders obtained by spray pyrolysis. The different diffusion rates of Ni (83 pm for Ni(2+)) and Fe (76 pm for Fe(2+), 65 pm for Fe(3+)) cations with different radii during nanoscale Kirkendall diffusion result in multiphase and double-layer NiFe2O4@NiO hollow nanospheres. The mean size of the hollow NiFe2O4@NiO nanospheres decorated uniformly within crumpled rGO is 14 nm. The first discharge capacities of the nanosphere-decorated rGO composite powders with filled NiFe2O4/NiO and hollow NiFe2O4@NiO at a current density of 1 A g(-1) are 1168 and 1319 mA h g(-1), respectively. Their discharge capacities for the 100th cycle are 597 and 951 mA h g(-1), respectively. The discharge capacity of the NiFe2O4@NiO-hollow-nanosphere-decorated rGO composite powders at the high current density of 4 A g(-1) for the 400th cycle is 789 mA h g(-1).
Incidence and Control of Cytospora Canker and Bacterial Canker in a Young Sweet Cherry Orchard in Oregon (1990)

(...) One to 5% of the trees were infected with Cytospora cincta each year, and 18% were infected by 1986. Bacterial canker, caused by Pseudomonas syringae, occurred in 13% of the trees in 1982 and in 25% of the trees by 1986. The death rates of trees infected with C. cincta and P. syringae were 16 and 17%, respectively. Disease incidence was highest in trees close to an old cherry orchard. Nitrogen or benomyl did not reduce the incidence of cankers. White trunk paint reduced the incidence of both Cytospora and bacterial trunk cankers
Three-dimensional effects of curved plasma actuators in quiescent air (2011)

This paper presents results on a new class of curved plasma actuators for the inducement of three-dimensional vortical structures. The nature of the fluid flow inducement on a flat plate, in quiescent conditions, due to four different shapes of dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) plasma actuators is numerically investigated. The three-dimensional plasma kinetic equations are solved using our in-house, finite element based, multiscale ionized gas (MIG) flow code. Numerical results show electron temperature and three dimensional plasma force vectors for four shapes, which include linear, triangular, serpentine, and square actuators. Three-dimensional effects such as pinching and spreading the neighboring fluid are observed for serpentine and square actuators. The mechanisms of vorticity generation for DBD actuators are discussed. Also the influence of geometric wavelength (λ) and amplitude (Λ) of the serpentine and square actuators on vectored thrust inducement is predicted. This results in these actuators producing significantly better flow mixing downstream as compared to the standard linear actuator. Increasing the wavelengths of serpentine and square actuators in the spanwise direction is shown to enhance the pinching effect giving a much higher vertical velocity. On the contrary, changing the amplitude of the curved actuator varies the streamwise velocity significantly influencing the near wall jet. Experimental data for a serpentine actuator are also reported for validation purpose.
Polymorphism in Soluble Epoxide Hydrolase and Blood Pressure in Spontaneously Hypertensive Rats (2002)

We measured soluble epoxide hydrolase (sEH) renal gene expression in prehypertensive (4 to 5 weeks old) spontaneously hypertensive rats of the Heidelberg SP substrain (SHR [Heid]) and when blood pressure levels entered the hypertensive plateau (17 to 18 weeks old) and compared expression with matched Wistar-Kyoto (WKY [Heid]) rats. Less expression of the gene encoding sEH (EPHX2) was observed in SHR (Heid) than in WKY (Heid). Analysis of sEH protein abundance showed a similar difference. However, no correlation between sEH abundance and blood pressure was observed in the F(2) progeny of a parental strain cross. Measurement of protein abundance in SHR and WKY obtained from Charles River confirmed a recent report that abundance of sEH was greater in SHR (CRiv) than WKY (CRiv) strains. Polymorphisms were detected in EPHX2. Resequencing revealed that 2 alleles of EPHX2 exist in these 4 rat strains, differing by 4 single nucleotide polymorphisms, of which 3 produce nonsynonymous amino acid substitutions. The ancestral allele was shared by SHR (Heid) and WKY (CRiv), and the variant allele was shared by WKY (Heid) and SHR (CRiv). Activity of sEH was greater in animals carrying the variant allele. However, inheritance of this allele was not correlated with blood pressure in the F(2) progeny of a cross between SHR (Heid) and WKY (Heid). These data indicate that sequence variation determining functional alterations in EPHX2 is not likely to contribute to blood pressure levels in SHR.
Serum IgA and IgG Gliadin Antibodies and Small Intestinal Mucosal Damage in Children (1985)

Serum immunoglobulin (Ig) A and IgG gliadin antibodies were determined with a simple, rapid, and inexpensive method--diffusion-in-gel enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (DIG-ELISA)--and the results were related to small intestinal mucosal morphology in 234 children suspected of having malabsorption. Fifty-six of 58 children with flat intestinal mucosa had increased IgA and/or IgG gliadin antibody levels (sensitivity 97%). Fifty-four of the 58 children had celiac disease (CD) (n = 25) or probable CD (n = 29). Four children with flat mucosa had cow's milk protein and/or soy protein intolerance and three of these had increased gliadin antibody levels. Seventeen percent of 132 children with normal intestinal mucosa had increased IgA and/or IgG gliadin antibody levels. IgA and IgG gliadin antibody levels decreased significantly in the celiac children on a gluten-free diet and increased significantly after gluten challenge. Determination of serum IgA and IgG gliadin antibodies by means of DIG-ELISA is a sensitive test for small intestinal mucosal damage in children. When malabsorption is suspected, we suggest that this assay be used to select children for a small intestinal biopsy. It is also very useful for the follow-up of adherence to a gluten-free diet and to determine the effect of gluten challenge in celiac children.
Brome Mosaic Virus RNA Replication Proteins 1a and 2a Colocalize and 1a Independently Localizes on the Yeast Endoplasmic Reticulum (1999)

The universal membrane association of positive-strand RNA virus RNA replication complexes is implicated in their function, but the intracellular membranes used vary among viruses. Brome mosaic virus (BMV) encodes two mutually interacting RNA replication proteins: 1a, which contains RNA capping and helicase-like domains, and the polymerase-like 2a protein. In cells from the natural plant hosts of BMV, 1a and 2a colocalize on the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). 1a and 2a also direct BMV RNA replication and subgenomic mRNA synthesis in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, but whether the distribution of 1a, 2a, and active replication complexes in yeast duplicates that in plant cells has not been determined. For yeast expressing 1a and 2a and replicating BMV genomic RNA3, we used double-label confocal immunofluorescence to define the localization of 1a, 2a, and viral RNA and to explore the determinants of replication complex targeting. As in plant cells, 1a and 2a colocalized on and were retained on the yeast ER, with no detectable accumulation in the Golgi apparatus. 1a and 2a were distributed over most of the ER surface, with strongest accumulation on the perinuclear ER. In vivo labeling with bromo-UTP showed that the sites of 1a and 2a accumulation were the sites of nascent viral RNA synthesis. In situ hybridization showed that completed viral RNA products accumulated predominantly in the immediate vicinity of replication complexes but that some, possibly more mature cells also accumulated substantial viral RNA in the surrounding cytoplasm distal to replication complexes. Additionally, we find that 1a localizes to the ER when expressed in the absence of other viral factors. These results show that BMV RNA replication in yeast duplicates the normal localization of replication complexes, reveal the intracellular distribution of RNA replication products, and show that 1a is at least partly responsible for the ER localization and retention of the RNA replication complex.
Tell Me a Story (2019)

Sacred stories and religious texts play a central role in religion, yetthere is a paucity of research investigating the relationship betweenreligiosity and individual differences in how people engage with stories.Here, we examine the relationship between religiosity, as well asa belief in God, and three variables related to how individuals interactwith narratives: a tendency to become absorbed in stories (transportability),a tendency to form relationships with the characters in stories(parasociability), and a reluctance to imaginatively engage withimmoral fictions (imaginative resistance). Although transportabilitywas only weakly related to intrinsic religiosity, both parasociability andimaginative resistance were correlated with a range of religiosity measures.Notably, the relationship between parasociability and religiositywas mediated by personal involvement with religious texts.

Meningococcal serogroup B infections: a search for a broadly protective vaccine (2003)

Meningococcal disease is mainly caused by serogroup B in many West European countries. Recently, a highly efficacious vaccine against infections caused by serogroup C has been introduced in the UK and The Netherlands. However, an effective vaccine against serogroup B has not yet become available. Outer membrane vesicle vaccines against serogroup B were previously tested in large Phase III trials but showed a low efficacy in young children. In addition, the high variability of the vaccines' main component, porin A, potentially diminishes its efficacy. Therefore, several approaches in either optimizing these outer membrane vesicle vaccines or searching for novel, highly conserved antigens are currently under investigation. The sequencing of the meningococcal genome has provided new opportunities to detect additional immunogenic epitopes. In this review, the developments in the search for a broadly protective meningococcal serogroup B vaccine will be discussed.
One-Step Transformation of 2- or 3-(1-Hydroxyalkyl)-2,3-dihydrobenzofurans to the Acylbenzofurans with N-Bromosuccinimide (1997)

The one-step transformation of 2or 3-(I-hydroxyalky1)-2, 3-dihydrobenzofurans (1 or 2 ) to the 2-or 3-acylbenzofurans (5 or 6) with N-bromosuccinimide was performed with good yields.The reaction is characterized to take place via the continuous bromination-dehydrobromination process.Yields are dependent on the solvent and the kind of additive compounds as a scavenger of the hydrogen bromide by-produced during the reaction.
Transport Phenomena in a Completely Ionized Gas (1953)

The coefficients of electrical and thermal conductivity have been computed for completely ionized gases with a wide variety of mean ionic charges. The effect of mutual electron encounters is considered as a problem of diffusion in velocity space, taking into account a term which previously had been neglected. The appropriate integro-differential equations are then solved numerically. The resultant conductivities are very close to the less extensive results obtained with the higher approximations on the Chapman-Cowling method, provided the Debye shielding distance is used as the cutoff in summing the effects of two-body encounters.
A reduced-rank approach for implementing higher-order Volterra filters (2016)

The use of Volterra filters in practical applications is often limited by their high computational burden. To cope with this problem, many strategies for implementing Volterra filters with reduced complexity have been proposed in the open literature. Some of these strategies are based on reduced-rank approaches obtained by defining a matrix of filter coefficients and applying the singular value decomposition to such a matrix. Then, discarding the smaller singular values, effective reduced-complexity Volterra implementations can be obtained. The application of this type of approach to higher-order Volterra filters (considering orders greater than 2) is however not straightforward, which is especially due to some difficulties encountered in the definition of higher-order coefficient matrices. In this context, the present paper is devoted to the development of a novel reduced-rank approach for implementing higher-order Volterra filters. Such an approach is based on a new form of Volterra kernel implementation that allows decomposing higher-order kernels into structures composed only of second-order kernels. Then, applying the singular value decomposition to the coefficient matrices of these second-order kernels, effective implementations for higher-order Volterra filters can be obtained. Simulation results are presented aiming to assess the effectiveness of the proposed approach.
Coupled Transmission Line Networks in an Inhomogeneous Dielectric Medium (1969)

In this paper, two-port networks composed of two identical, coupled transmission lines embedded in an inhomogeneous dielectric (e.g., suspended substrate, microstrip) are investigated. The ABCD parameters of circuit configurations, considered by Jones and Bolljahn, are obtained for the case of inhomogeneous dielectric. Equivalent circuits of these networks are also given. It is shown that the characteristics of such circuits differ markedly from those embedded in a homogeneous medium. In addition experimental results are presented for three types of circuits which have been constructed and tested. There is excellent agreement between the experimental results and those predicted theoretically on the basis of the equivalent circuits .
Capsaicin-evoked Mechanical Allodynia and Hyperalgesia Cross Nerve Territories (1996)

It is concluded that activation of C-nociceptors evokes a state of central sensitization that may manifest itself by the appearance of extraterritorial pain abnormalities.
Tethered ligand‐derived peptides of proteinase‐activated receptor 3 (PAR<sub>3</sub>) activate PAR<sub>1</sub> and PAR<sub>2</sub> in Jurkat T cells (2004)

Proteinase-activated receptors (PARs) can activate a number of signalling events, including T-cell signal-transduction pathways. Recent data suggest that the activation of PARs 1, 2 and 3 in Jurkat T-leukaemic cells induces tyrosine phosphorylation of the haematopoietic signal transducer protein, VAV1. To activate the PARs, this study used the agonist peptides SFLLRNPNDK, SLIGKVDGTS and TFRGAPPNSF, which are based on the sequences of the tethered ligand sequences of human PARs 1, 2 and 3, respectively. Here, we show that peptides based on either the human or murine PAR(3)-derived tethered ligand sequences (TFRGAP-NH(2) or SFNGGP-NH(2)) do not activate PAR(3), but rather activate PARs 1 and 2, either in Jurkat or in other PAR-expressing cells. Furthermore, whilst thrombin activates only Jurkat PAR(1), trypsin activates both PARs 1 and 2 and also disarms Jurkat PAR(1) for thrombin activation. We conclude therefore that in Jurkat or related T cells, signalling via PARs that can affect VAV1 phosphorylation is mediated via PAR 1 or 2, or both, and that distinct serine proteinases may potentially differentially affect T-cell function in the settings of inflammation.
Residual tobacco smoke: measurement of its washout time in the lung and of its contribution to environmental tobacco smoke (2007)

These data reveal a definite although marginal, role of RTS as a source of hidden indoor pollution. Further studies are needed to understand the relevance of this contribution in smoke-free premises in terms of risk exposure; however, waiting for about 2 min before re-entry after the last puff would be enough to avoid an unwanted additional exposure for non-smokers.
Sentence disambiguation by document oriented preference sets (1990)

This paper proposes document oriented preference sets(DoPS) for the disambiguation of the dependency structure of sentences. The DoPS system extracts preference knowledge from a target document or other documents automatically. Sentence ambiguities can be resolved by using domain targeted preference knowledge without using complicated large knowledgebases. Implementation and empirical results are described for the analysis of dependency structures of Japanese patent claim sentences.
UTILIZATION OF LOCAL CULTURAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL POTENTIAL AS A SOURCE OF LEARNING INDONESIAN IN A GLOBAL CONTEXT (2020)

Globalization brings changes in various sectors of life as a nation and state. Changes that occur in one community can cause changes in another society. The emergence of a change in the attitude of the young generation of Indonesia, known as the mileneal generation and generation z is the impact of changing attitudes of the younger generation in developed countries. The era of digital-based technology has become the arena of life for today's generation of generations. The rise of milleneal generation with a variety of innovations that have brought the impact of changes in services, including educational services. This phenomenon changes the context of the learning environment of students to be different from the previous context. The learning environment that includes school culture with its various ethos and characteristics as well as various educational policy factors has experienced a shift in the order and mechanism of its realization. The learning environment has direct and indirect effects on the learning process and outcomes. The learning process and results become meaningful if the learning activities are oriented to the potential and needs of students in present and future social life. Learning that involves the potential of the local environment and culture as a source and medium of learning is a challenge and a demand to make students able to build their character in accordance with the socio-cultural context of the community.

Cardiac imaging using a phased array ultrasound system. II. Clinical technique and application. (1976)

A new two-dimensional ultrasound imaging system capable of producing high resolution tomographic images of the heart in real time has been developed. This system relies on phased array principles to rapidly steer the ultrasound beam through the structures under investigation. A hand-held linear array of 16 ultrasound transducers with overall dimensions of 14 mm at the site of contanct may be readily manipulated to image various cardiac structures. The resulting images are displayed in a circular sector format, 60 degrees in azimuth and typically 15 cm in range. At his maximum range, image frames consisting of 256 lines are generated at the rate of 20 frames/second. High azimuthal resolution throughout the field of view is assured by a focused transmit beam and by sweeping the focus of the receiver is synchrony with the range of returning echoes. Azimuthal resolution varies from 2 to 5 mm throughout the field of view while range resolution is 1.5 mm. This imaging system has proven particularly useful for the delineation of left ventricular spatial geometry by the identification of endocardium, myocardium, papillary muscles and interventricular septum. High quality images of anterior and posterior mitral leaflets, aortic root and aortic leaflets as well as left atrium and other cardiac structures have been obtained.
A study of the mechanism of the anticomplementary activity of gamma-globulin. (1960)

Summary 1.Human γ-globulin causes a marked decrease in the C′1 and C′4 activity of guinea pig complement. This anticomplementary activity is enhanced by heating the γ-globulin at 56–60°C or by adsorbing it to bentonite. 2.The inactivation of C′4 in serum occurs only in the presence of C′1. 3.Following incubation with a source of C′1, a suspension of bentonite with adsorbed γ-globulin is capable of inactivating C′4 in serum fractions lacking C′1. This ability is abolished by the treatment of the suspension with diisopropyl-fluorophosphate. 4.It is suggested that the reaction of γ-globulin with complement is similar to the first steps of complement fixation by an antigen-antibody complex.
