Commentary hallucination in the elderly: three case reports (2004)

Abstract Three elderly females with commentary hallucinations are presented. Here, the term ‘commentary hallucination’ is used as a comprehensive term describing a condition where the subject hears voices that comment on, command, or describe the subject's actions or behavior. According to the DSM‐IV, the three cases presented here met the criteria for a psychotic disorder not otherwise specified, a schizoaffective disorder, and schizophrenia, respectively. All three cases showed no evidence of abnormalities when examined using neuroimaging techniques but might have had some senile brain changes that were under the threshold of the neuroimaging studies. Although the commentary hallucinations in the three patients were not distinctively different from the hallucinations that are characteristic of schizophrenia, the subjects were able to keep some distance from the hallucinations; in other words, the hallucinations were not ego‐invasive. The commentary hallucinations in the present patients might be explained as resulting from exhaustion caused by stressful life events, subtle senile organic brain changes, and a subsequent decline in psychological tension. These hallucinations may have originated from the pathological appearance of a background‐inner speech accompanying the patients’ behavior.
Noninvasive Transcutaneous Monitoring of Arterial Blood Gases (1984)

Valuable clinical and physiological data concerning the function of the cardiopulmonary system can be obtained from continuous monitoring of hemoglobin oxygen saturation (SaO2), oxygen tension (PO2), and carbon dioxide tension (PCO2) in blood. While periodic blood sampling is still used clinically to determine arterial blood gases, it is becoming apparent that the recent introduction of continuous noninvasive monitoring of blood gases can offer many advantages. This paper discusses the historical development and significant accomplishments of various techniques available for transcutaneous blood gas monitoring. Four major areas are reviewed: electrochemistry, spectrophotometry, mass spectrometry, and gas chromatography. For each of these techniques, the theoretical basis, instrumentation, and clinical applications are discussed.
Soluble and Insoluble Dietary Fiber Content and Composition in Oat (1999)

ABSTRACT Six oat genotypes were grown in nursery yield trials during 1989‐1992 at Lisbon, ND. Groats were analyzed for soluble and insoluble dietary fiber content and composition. Genotype‐by‐growing year interaction was not significant for soluble or insoluble dietary fiber. Soluble and insoluble dietary fiber differed with genotype (6.0–7.1% and 4.1– 4.9%, respectively) and with growing year (6.0–6.9% and 3.9–5.2%, respectively). The genotype‐by‐growing year interaction was significant for soluble β‐glucan content but not for total neutral sugar or uronic acid content of the soluble dietary fiber. Genotypes did vary in total neutral sugar content but not in uronic acid content. The genotype‐by‐growing year interaction was not significant for total neutral sugar, β‐glucan, uronic acid, or Klason lignin content of insoluble dietary fiber. Genotypes did vary in total neutral sugar, β‐glucan, and Klason lignin content but not in uronic acid content of insoluble dietary fiber. The neutral sugar content of soluble dietary fiber was composed of glucose, arabinose, xylose, and galactose. The neutral sugar content of insoluble fiber was composed of glucose, arabinose, and xylose. The content and composition of soluble and insoluble dietary fiber varied with oat genotype. Therefore, oat genotypes could be bred for specific dietary fiber content and composition.

Einleitung (1972)

Der bedeutende, jüngst verstorbene Sozialwissenschaftler Douglas McGregor glaubte, im Ablauf der Geschichte zwei Wendepunkte im Bereich der organisatorischen Steuerung und Kontrolle des menschlichen Verhaltens erkennen zu können1). Den ersten sah er im Übergang von blanker, physischer Gewalt zum Vertrauen auf formale Autorität. Symptomatisch für die zweite Entwicklungsstufe ist das ständige, gesamtgesellschaftlich gebilligte Schrumpfen der individuellen Zone des Gehorsams ("zone of acceptançe"2)) gegenüber autoritären Beeinflussungsversuchen und der Intensivierung des Strebens nach Unabhängigkeit und Mündigkeit des einzelnen ("strategies of independence"3)) von den ihn umgebenden sozialen Systemen. In allen Gesellschaftsbereichen wirken exklusive Autoritätsansprüche in zunehmendem Maße suspekt; dies gilt sowohl in der Innenpolitik eines Landes als auch im Bereich internationaler Beziehungen, davon sind die Erziehungssysteme von den Kindergärten bis zu den Universitäten betroffen, das schließt kulturelle Autoritäten bis hin zu den Repräsentanten der Kirchen ein. Dieser Prozeß macht selbstverständlich nicht vor dem Wirtschaftsleben und seinen Institutionen, insbesondere den Betriebswirtschaften halt. Jeder Betrieb und jedes Unternehmen steht mitten im gesellschaftlichen Wandlungsprozeß; der Betriebswirt handelt irreal, der diesen Wandel verkennt oder sich auf sogenannte "reine" bzw. "eindimensionale" Wirtschaftsbegriffe zurückzuziehen versucht.
Site-specific in vitro binding of plasmid pUB110 to Bacillus subtilis membrane fraction (1983)

The in vitro membrane binding of pSL103, a composite plasmid consisting of Staphylococcus aureus plasmid pUB110 and a Bacillus pumilus trpC+ DNA fragment, to the Bacillus subtilis membrane fraction was studied with a total lysate of B. subtilis cells. The binding reaction required a heat treatment at 45 degrees C and had an optimum KCl concentration of 60 mM. Nonradioactive pSL103, but not Escherichia coli plasmid pACYC184, competed with 3H-labeled pSL103 for binding to the membrane. By the use of 32P-labeled restriction fragments of pSL103 and pUB110, it has been found that only the pUB110 portion of pSL103 binds to the membrane and that there are four specific regions in pUB110 which bind to the membrane. Two of the four binding regions flank the replication origin. This in vitro binding was high-salt sensitive and apparently independent of the configurations of the plasmid. We have previously shown that the functional product of the initiation gene dna-1 is required in vivo both for replication initiation and the binding of a DNA region near the replication origin to the membrane. Unlike in vivo binding, which is high-salt resistant and dependent on the product of dna-1 gene (type-I binding), the in vitro binding reported in this paper was high-salt sensitive and independent of the dna-1 gene product (type-II binding).
Correlation between the intima-media thickness of the carotid artery and aortic pulse-wave velocity in patients with type 2 diabetes. Vessel wall properties in type 2 diabetes. (1999)

The results indicated that diabetic patients showed more advanced changes in atherosis than that in sclerosis as compared with age- and sex-matched control subjects. Such atherotic changes in diabetic patients may be associated with hyperlipidemia.
An engineering approach to mass transfer performance for hollow fibre modules with shell-side axial feed flow (1999)

An generalised engineering approach based on the analogy between mass and heat transfer is proposed to benchmark the shell-side mass transfer coefficient for axial flow in hollow fibre modules from low to moderate packing densities. The trends obtained by this approach are similar to those of correlations found in the literature and differences between the approaches are discussed. Furthermore, effects influencing mass transfer in hollow fibre modules are identified and discussed as a function of void fraction. Finally, a module specific adjustment factor is defined to account for difference between the theoretical standard and the experimentally measured performance.

Utilizing graphical formats to convey uncertainty in a decision-making task (2002)

Understanding how to display effectively uncertain information has become increasingly important as decision aids can provide operators with situational estimates and their associated uncertainty. The paper describes two studies in which degraded or blended icons were used to convey uncertainty regarding the identity of a radar contact as hostile or friendly. A classification study first showed that participants could sort, order and rank icons from five sets intended to represent different levels of uncertainty. Three icon sets were selected for further study in an experiment in which participants had to identify the status of contacts as either hostile or friendly. Contacts and probabilistic estimates of their identities were depicted on a simulated radar screen in one of three ways: with degraded icons and probabilities, with non-degraded icons and probabilities and with degraded icons only. Results showed that participants using displays with only degraded icons performed better on some measures and as well on other measures, than the other tested conditions. These results are significant because they indicate both that people can understand uncertainty conveyed through such a manner and thus that the use of distorted or degraded images may be a viable alternative to convey situational uncertainty.
The response of <i>Chlamydomonas reinhardtii</i> to nitrogen deprivation: a systems biology analysis (2014)

Drastic alteration in macronutrients causes large changes in gene expression in the photosynthetic unicellular alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii. Preliminary data suggested that cells follow a biphasic response to this change hinging on the initiation of lipid accumulation, and we hypothesized that drastic repatterning of metabolism also followed this biphasic modality. To test this hypothesis, transcriptomic, proteomic, and metabolite changes that occur under nitrogen (N) deprivation were analyzed. Eight sampling times were selected covering the progressive slowing of growth and induction of oil synthesis between 4 and 6 h after N deprivation. Results of the combined, systems-level investigation indicated that C. reinhardtii cells sense and respond on a large scale within 30 min to a switch to N-deprived conditions turning on a largely gluconeogenic metabolic state, which then transitions to a glycolytic stage between 4 and 6 h after N depletion. This nitrogen-sensing system is transduced to carbon- and nitrogen-responsive pathways, leading to down-regulation of carbon assimilation and chlorophyll biosynthesis, and an increase in nitrogen metabolism and lipid biosynthesis. For example, the expression of nearly all the enzymes for assimilating nitrogen from ammonium, nitrate, nitrite, urea, formamide/acetamide, purines, pyrimidines, polyamines, amino acids and proteins increased significantly. Although arginine biosynthesis enzymes were also rapidly up-regulated, arginine pool size changes and isotopic labeling results indicated no increased flux through this pathway.
Dideoxy Sequencing Reactions Using Taq Polymerase (2003)

Tuq DNA polymerase is a highly stable polymerase isolated from the thermophilic organism Thermus aquaticus. Because of its unique properties this enzyme has been extensively used for amplification of DNA fragments by the polymerase chain reaction (PCR). In addition, the thermostability of Tuq DNA Polymerase has proven to be extremely useful for sequencing single-stranded templates by the dideoxy chain termination reaction (, , ). The advantage of sequencing with Tuq DNA polymerase is that the reaction can be extended at high temperature, thus eliminating most band compression encountered when sequencing G + C-rich templates or hairpin regions. This method is particularly useful when sequencing DNA from organisms with a high G + C content where ambiguities are frequently found on the gels (see Fig.1). Currently several companies have developed sequencing kits using Tuq DNA polymerase. We have tried the TAQenceTM (U.S. Biochemicals, Cleveland, OH) and the Tuq multiwellTM (Amersham, Arlington Heights, IL) kits, both of which gave comparably good results. However these kits are relatively expensive and similar results can be obtained by preparing the different solutions with little loss of time. Here we describe a protocol based on the chain termination reaction as described by Stambaugh and Blakesley () that involves two major steps. Open image in new window Fig. 1. Autoradiography of polyacrylamide gel comparing sequence of a G + C rich DNA template with Tuq DNA polymerase using either dGTP (I) or 7-deazadGTP (II) in the reaction mixes. All reactions were performed as described in the text using an M 13mp 19 derived single-stranded templates labeled by incorporation of [(α-35S] dATP. The reactions were analyzed on a 6% polyacrylamide-urea gel using 0.5X TBE buffer (see( Chapter 38)). The brackets indicate the area of compression caused by secondary structure formed by the template DNA that are resolved by the 7-deaza-dGTP substitution.
Seminal plasma effects on sperm handling and female fertility (2007)

The components of ruminant seminal plasma and their influence on the fertility of spermatozoa are reviewed. Seminal plasma can both inhibit and stimulate sperm function and fertility through the multifunctional actions of organic and inorganic components. These effects are now better understood because the composition of the seminal plasma, including its protein content and that of other structures, specifically membrane vesicles, has been clarified. Spermatozoa gain motility and fertilizing capacity as they transit the epididymis under the influence of factors produced by that organ. At ejaculation, inhibitory (termed "decapacitation") factors, sourced from the accessory sex glands, bind to the sperm surface. The major proteins isolated and characterised in ram seminal plasma, whose specific functions are yet to be determined, originate from the vesicular gland and comprise a spermadhesin together with proteins with fibronectin-II domains. In vitro handling of spermatozoa in preparation for artificial insemination (AI), involving processes such as dilution, cooling, freezing, re-warming and sperm sexing by flow cytometric sorting, can remove seminal plasma and may modify the proteins bound to the sperm surface. This destabilises the membranes and may pre-capacitate the spermatozoa, shortening their fertilizing lifespan. These changes may be reversible by seminal plasma fractions but responses differ depending on the type of sperm pre-treatment. Fertility after AI of ruminant semen may be improved if the role of seminal plasma proteins and their effect, if added individually or in combination to spermatozoa at different stages of preservation, or other manipulations such as flow cytometric sorting, can be determined.

Phase unwrapping with Kalman filter based denoising in digital holographic interferometry (2015)

Phase information recovered through interferometric techniques is mathematically wrapped in the interval (−π, π). Obtaining the original unwrapped phase is very important in numerous number of applications. This paper discusses a Fourier transform based phase unwrapping method. Kalman filter is proposed for denoising in post processing step to restore the unwrapped phase without any noise. The proposed method is highly robust to noise and performs better even at lower SNR values (5–10dB) with a very less value of RMS error. Also, the time taken for execution is very less compared to the many available methods in the literature.

Performance Evaluation of Centralized and Distributed Index Schemes for a Page Server OODBMS (1997)

Recent work on client-server data-shipping OODBs has demonstrated the usefulness of local data caching at client sites. However, none of the studies has investigated index-related performance issues in particular. References to index pages arise from associative queries and from updates on indexed attributes, often making indexes the most heavily used hot spots in a database. System performance is therefore quite sensitive to the index management scheme. This paper examines the effects of index caching, and investigates two schemes, one centralized and the other distributed, for index page management in a page server OODB. In the centralized scheme, index pages are not allowed to be cached at client sites; thus, communication with the central server is required for all index-based queries and index updates. The distributed index management scheme supports inter-transaction caching of index pages at client sites, and enforces a distributed index consistency control protocol similar to t...
Molecular sieve silica membranes for H2/CO separation (2001)

Efficient separation of fuel gas (H2) from other gases in reformed gas mixtures is becoming increasingly important in the development of alternative energy systems. A highly efficient and new technology available for these separations is molecular sieve silica (MSS) membranes derived from tetraethyl-orthosilicate (TEOS). A permeation model is developed from an analogous electronic system and compared to transport theory to determine permeation, selectivity and apparent activation of energy based on experimental values. Experimental results for high quality membranes show single gas permselectivity peaking at 57 for H2/CO at 150°C with a H2 permeation of 5.14 x 10^-8 mol.m^-2.s^-1.Pa^-1. Higher permeance was also achieved, but at the expense of selectivity. This is the case for low quality membranes with peak H2 permeation at 1.78 x 10-7 mol.m-2.s-1.Pa-1 at 22°C and H2/CO permselectivity of 4.5. High quality membranes are characterised with positive apparent activation energy while the low quality membranes have negative values. The model had a good fit of r-squared of 0.99-1.00 using the experimental data.
