Utilization of vermiwash spray on growth and yield of radish cv. LOCAL VARIETY (2015)

The present investigation was undertaken with the main objective of utilization of vermiwash spray on growth and yield of radish cv. LOCAL VARIETY. The experiment was laid out in Randomized Completely Block Design with five treatments and four replications. The experiment consists of five treatments involving application of water and vermiwash in the proportion of 1:1, 1:2, 1:3 and 1:4 and control were imposed and the foliar application was made by using knapsack sprayer in the evening hours twice at 15 and 30 days after sowing seeds. The data clearly revealed that the yield obtained with treatment T 4 (100 % RDF as fertigation and vermiwash foliar twice times spray 1:4 at 15 and 30 days after sowing seeds) was significantly higher than all other treatments in growth and yield attributes such as root diameter (5.53 cm), length (25.90 cm), weight (90.90 g), yield/plot (18.18 kg), yield/ha (60.59 t/ha) and marketable yield (45.45 t/ha) of radish cv. LOCAL VARIETY. Thus, it can be concluded that foliar spray of vermiwash (1:4) effective than control.
Altered Factor VIII in Acute Respiratory Failure (1982)

Acute respiratory failure is characterized by pulmonary vascular injury and increased endothelial permeability. Since endothelial cells synthesize or release factor VIII, we studied factor VIII:antigen, factor VIII:von Willebrand's factor, and factor VIII:coagulant activity in 100 patients with acute respiratory failure, in 29 critically ill patients without evidence of lung disease, and in 60 normal subjects. As a group, patients with respiratory failure had factor VIII:antigen levels that were five times normal, whereas their factor VIII:coagulant and von Willebrand's activities were normal or above normal. However, there was a remarkable disproportion between the levels of factor VIII:antigen and those of factor VIII:coagulant and von Willebrand's factor. In the other ill patients and in the normal group, these levels were in close proportion. In patients with respiratory failure, both slowly and rapidly migrating components of factor VIII:antigen had abnormal electrophoretic patterns; in moderate and severe cases, there was a marked increase in the fast component. Patients who recovered from acute respiratory failure had electrophoretic patterns that returned toward normal. Factor VIII:antigen may be a sensitive circulating indicator of pulmonary endothelial injury and repair.

Managing automatic test systems in the 1990s (1994)

Managing automatic test systems in the 1990s is more than writing BASIC test programs to control IEEE 488 instruments. Managing your automatic test system involves test program set (TPS) development, management of re-usable test objects, data management, tester resource management and user interface management. In addition the automatic test system must provide test executive that controls the overall test development and execution environments. The benefits of this type of system are, lower TPS development cost, a common user interface and lower operator training cost. This paper focuses on these aspects of automatic test system management.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>

Nuclear Heme Oxygenase-1 (HO-1) Modulates Subcellular Distribution and Activation of Nrf2, Impacting Metabolic and Anti-oxidant Defenses (2014)

With oxidative injury as well as in some solid tumors and myeloid leukemia cells, heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1), the anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-apoptotic microsomal stress protein, migrates to the nucleus in a truncated and enzymatically inactive form. However, the function of HO-1 in the nucleus is not completely clear. Nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2), a transcription factor and master regulator of numerous antioxidants and anti-apoptotic proteins, including HO-1, also accumulates in the nucleus with oxidative injury and in various types of cancer. Here we demonstrate that in oxidative stress, nuclear HO-1 interacts with Nrf2 and stabilizes it from glycogen synthase kinase 3β (GSK3β)-mediated phosphorylation coupled with ubiquitin-proteasomal degradation, thereby prolonging its accumulation in the nucleus. This regulation of Nrf2 post-induction by nuclear HO-1 is important for the preferential transcription of phase II detoxification enzymes such as NQO1 as well as glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PDH), a regulator of the pentose phosphate pathway. Using Nrf2 knock-out cells, we further demonstrate that nuclear HO-1-associated cytoprotection against oxidative stress depends on an HO-1/Nrf2 interaction. Although it is well known that Nrf2 induces HO-1 leading to mitigation of oxidant stress, we propose a novel mechanism by which HO-1, by modulating the activation of Nrf2, sets an adaptive reprogramming that enhances antioxidant defenses.
Ability, Assistance, and Collaboration in Academic Library Assessment (2010)

Assessment continues to play an important role in the management of academic libraries. As external political entities press institutions of higher education to be more accountable in regards to academic outcomes and use of resources, libraries are under more pressure to show that that they are an
Actuator duct model of turbomachinery components for powered-nacelle Navier-Stokes calculations (2000)

An actuator duct model was installed into the WIND Navier-Stokes code. With this model, flow through fan rotors and fan exit guide vanes can be simulated without blade geometry. Flow turning, total pressure and total temperature changes across blade rows are controlled by body forces added to the Navier-Stokes equations. This model provides an affordable and relatively accurate prediction of a three-dimensional flow field through rotor and stator blade rows. A NASA Stage 35 compressor and a NASA 22 test rig flow were analyzed to quantify the ability of the actuator duct theory to represent blade rows. Favorable comparisons between predicted and measured total pressure, total temperature and swirl profiles indicated that the actuator duct logic was correctly installed in the WIND code. Comparisons of inlet separation angle-of-attack were made between test data and predictions using the actuator duct theory. The WIND code with the actuator duct model predicted higher separation angle-of-attack by an average of 2° for different fan speeds. The effect of the rotor on inlet flow separation was also determined by comparing the predictions of a flow-through nacelle with the predictions using the actuator duct to simulate the rotating fan. The comparison shows that the presence of the rotor increased separation free angle-of-attack over the flow-through nacelle which is consistent with the observation from the experiment. NOMENCLATURE
Motilin-induced mechanical activity in the canine alimentary tract. (1976)

Gastrointestinal contractile activity from the lower esophageal sphincter to the terminal ileum in the conscious dogs was continuously recorded on a multi-channel polygraph for several weeks by means of chronically implanted strain gage force transducers. It was found that the 24-hour gastrointestinal motor activity consisted of the two different major patterns; the digestive and interdigestive patterns. The interdigestive motor activity was characterized by a cyclic recurring, caudad-moving band of strong contractions interrupted by long lasting motor quiescence. When one band of strong contractions reached the distal ileum, another developed in the LES, stomach and duodenum again and propagated in a caudad-direction. Such recycling episodes repeatedly occurred until the next meal. After ingestion of food, gastrointestinal motor activity was continous and such characteristic interdigestive patterns were not observed. Synthetic motilin, 0.1-2.7 mug/kg/hr, was assayed for its motor stimulating activity in the both states. In the digestive state, an i.v. infusion of motlin had no influence upon the motor activity even if the dose was increased up to 6.0 mug/kg/hr. On the other hand, when motilin was infused during the interdigestive state, it induced a pattern precisely like the naturally-occurring interdigestive contractions. Not only the naturally-occurring contractions but also motilin-induced contractions were strongly inhibited by the ingestion of food or an i.v. infusion of pentagastrin (0.2-1.8 mug/kg/hr). Duodenal acidification (0.1 N HC1, 3-16 ml/kg/hr) in the interdigestive state disturbed or inhibited the regular cycle of the natural contractions but was counteracted by exogenous i.v. infusion of motilin. These findings strongly suggest the view that the interdigestive gastrointestinal motor activity is at least in part regulated by circulating motilin concentration in the blood, however, its cyclic recurring, caudad propagating mechanism may be controlled in part by the nervous system. Motilin is the only substance known to be active during the interdigestive state and therefore may be called the interdigestive hormone.
Interocular Differences in Spatial Frequency Influence the Pulfrich Effect (2020)

The Pulfrich effect is a stereo-motion phenomenon. When the two eyes are presented with visual targets moving in fronto-parallel motion at different luminances or contrasts, the perception is of a target moving-in-depth. It is thought that this percept of motion-in-depth occurs because lower luminance or contrast delays the speed of visual processing. Spatial properties of an image such as spatial frequency and size have also been shown to influence the speed of visual processing. In this study, we use a paradigm to measure interocular delay based on the Pulfrich effect where a structure-from-motion defined cylinder, composed of Gabor elements displayed at different interocular phases, rotates in depth. This allows us to measure any relative interocular processing delay while independently manipulating the spatial frequency and size of the micro elements (i.e., Gabor patches). We show that interocular spatial frequency differences, but not interocular size differences of image features, produce interocular processing delays.
Oncogenes: Implications for the Diagnosis and Treatment of Cancer (1984)

Cellular oncogenes comprise a small family of genes, highly conserved throughout vertebrate evolution, that code for proteins with diverse functions including DNA binding, protein kinase, and cellular growth factor activities. Cellular oncogenes are important in certain aspects of the proliferation and differentiation of normal cells. Under some circumstances these genes may also induce malignant transformation of normal cells. Various mechanisms may underlie their involvement in carcinogenesis. Incorporation of all, or part of, cellular oncogenes into RNA tumor viruses, mutations in gene structure, or translocation of cellular oncogenes from one chromosome to another may all be associated with the induction of malignant change in cells. In some of these situations altered oncogene products are made. Knowledge about the biology of oncogenes may lead to improved techniques for cancer detection and perhaps new approaches to cancer treatment.
Chronic anterolateral instability of the knee (1989)

The rotatory stability of the knee was investigated in 20 patients with a previous tear of the ACL. The three-dimensional movements of the tibia during the testing procedure were registered using roentgen stereophotogrammetric analysis. Changes of the tibial movements between an intermediate, an anterior, or a posterior tibial position were registered using tibial tractions in combination with a simultaneous external or internal rotatory torque. At 20 degrees of flexion the internal rotatory laxity was increased on the injured side. The external rotatory laxity did not significantly differ between the two sides. With anterior traction, the internal rotatory laxity increased on both the injured and the normal sides and became almost equal. The external rotatory laxity manifested a decrease which was most pronounced on the injured side. With posterior traction, the rotatory laxities decreased and did not significantly differ between the two sides. Analysis of the simultaneously occurring translations of the tibial plateau disclosed abnormal displacements of both the medial and the lateral tibial condyles on the injured side.

Porins and specific channels of bacterial outer membranes (1992)

Porins and specific channels both produce water-filled pores that allow the transmembrane diffusion of small solutes, but the latter contain specific ligand-binding sites within the channels. Recent structural studies show that many or most of these proteins exist as beta-barrels with the beta-strands traversing the thickness of the outer membrane. The channels often have diameters in the range of 1 nm, and thus the penetration rates of solutes through porin channels are likely to be affected strongly by what appear to be minor differences in the size, shape, hydrophobicity or charge of the solute molecule. With the specific channels, the presence of binding sites can accelerate very significantly the diffusion of some ligands when they are present at low concentrations. Thus these simple channels can sometimes achieve a surprising degree of real or apparent specificity. Recent data tend to favour the idea that these proteins are first exported into the periplasm, and then inserted into the outer membrane. Although lipopolysaccharides seem to play a significant role in the final assembly of the trimeric porins, the details of the targeting process still remain to be elucidated.
Katalysatoren beim thermischen Abbau von Polymeren, 1. Über den katalytischen Abbau von Polypivalolacton (1981)

Abstract The ability of different metal oxides and acetates to catalyze the thermal degradation of poly(pivalolactone) into cyclic oligomers has been investigated. Magnesium oxide was found to be the most active catalyst which converts poly(pivalolactone) completely into oligomers within less than two hours at 547 K. The influence of temperature and catalyst concentration and the distribution of cyclic oligomers is discussed.
Holographic display with a FPD-based complex spatial light modulator (2014)

We demonstrate a holographic image reconstructed by a FPD-based complex spatial light modulator (SLM) which is composed of a phase-only SLM and a sheet of beam combiner. A complex SLM which modulates both amplitude and phase independently is necessary for a better image quality with reducing conjugate images. The two-phase encoding method is one of the most practical candidates for the complex SLM. The proposed complex SLM is presented in a phase-only LCD panel which can be manufactured in a conventional LCD process and it was used for generating different phases. The PAL (Parallel-Aligned nematic Liquid crystal) mode is used to modulate the phase without the amplitude change. The film-type beam combiner consists of a prism array and a grating made by a conventional fabrication process. The beam combiner plays a vital role to merge two pixels and to adjust effective complex modulation. In this paper, the holographic image by the proposed complex SLM is verified by the experimental and simulation work in a monochromatic reconstruction. This complex SLM can be scaled up and it is a promising candidate SLM for a large-size holographic 3D display.
Submillimeter-Wave Frequency Scanning System for Imaging Applications (2013)

A new submillimeter-wave imaging system based on the frequency scanning concept is presented. Using significantly less information than beam-steering techniques, frequency scanning-based imaging systems are able to provide angular information in range-based radar systems which do not allow mechanical or electronic beam steering. Several strategies have been adopted to overcome the low dynamic range due to the propagation losses and non-specular reflection on the object-under-test. Moreover, the system is not only capable of detecting the placement of the objects, but also their profile. In this sense, an imaging application showing the system capabilities for the detection of objects concealed under clothes is presented. Results using 1-D FSAA allowing profile imaging are shown, proving the validity of the proposed system.
Pollen flow between herbicide-resistant<i>Brassica napus</i>is the cause of multiple-resistant<i>B. napus</i>volunteers<sup>1</sup> (2000)

A field in which Brassica napus volunteers were not controlled by several applications of glyphosate was investigated in 1998. This field had been planted with glufosinate-resistant and imidazolinone-resistant B. napus in 1997 and was adjacent to a field that had grown glyphosate-resistant B. napus. Mature volunteer B. napus were collected on a 50- by 100-m grid in the field. Progeny from 34 volunteers were sprayed with glyphosate at 440 g ae ha−1, and the survivors were sprayed with either glufosinate or imazethapyr at 400 or 50 g ai ha−1, respectively. Where seed numbers permitted (14 volunteers), seedlings were also sprayed sequentially with glyphosate, glufosinate, and imazethapyr, at 440 g ae ha−1, 400 g ai ha−1, and 50 g ai ha−1, respectively. In total, 15 volunteers had progeny that were between 66 and 82% resistant to glyphosate, consistent with the predicted 3:1 resistant : susceptible ratio. Volunteer B. napus plants with glyphosate-resistant seedlings were most common close to the putative pollen source; however, a plant with glyphosate-resistant progeny was collected 500 m from the adjacent field edge. Seedlings from all nine volunteers collected from the glufosinate-resistant area showed multiple resistance to glyphosate and glufosinate, whereas seedlings from 10 of 20 volunteers collected from the imidazolinone-resistant area showed resistance to imazethapyr and glyphosate. DNA extraction and restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) analysis of seedlings confirmed that mature B. napus volunteers were hybrids resulting from pollen transfer rather than inadvertent seed movement between fields. Two seedlings from the 924 screened were resistant to all three herbicides. Progeny from these self-pollinated individuals were resistant to glyphosate and glufosinate at the predicted 3:1 resistant : susceptible ratio and resistant to imazethapyr at the predicted 15:1 resistant : susceptible ratio. Sequential crossing of three herbicide-resistant varieties is the most likely explanation for the observed multiple herbicide resistance. Integrated management techniques, including suitable crop and herbicide rotations, herbicide mixtures, and nonchemical controls should be used to reduce the incidence and negative effect of B. napus volunteers with multiple herbicide resistance.
Hybrid multi-h/multi-T continuous phase frequencyshift keying (1999)

A class of hybrid multi-h/multi-T CPFSK signals is obtained by combining multi-h and multi-T signalling techniques. Hybrid signals are constructed by varying both the modulation index and the symbol duration simultaneously. Numerical results show that hybrid multi-h/multi-T signals perform significantly better than ordinary multi-h and multi-T signals.
Long-Term Outcomes of Surgical and Nonsurgical Management of Sciatica Secondary to a Lumbar Disc Herniation: 10 Year Results from the Maine Lumbar Spine Study (2005)

Surgically treated patients with a herniated lumbar disc had more complete relief of leg pain and improved function and satisfaction compared with nonsurgically treated patients over 10 years. Nevertheless, improvement in the patient's predominant symptom and work and disability outcomes were similar regardless of treatment received. For patients in whom elective discectomy is a treatment option, an individualized treatment plan requires patients and their physicians to integrate clinical findings with patient preferences based on their symptoms and goals.
