The FORTH Programming Language for Control Systems: Potential Advantages (1987)

When working with the control system 1 , it was found that the FORTH language offered advantages over: BASIC — in terms of speed of control action machine code — in terms of program development/testing time. Furthermore, in common circumstances where program/alterations have to be made to cope with plant, process or design changes, FORTH is less prone to errors that may occur when adapting machine code.
Natural plant extracts: Classical remedies bring modern animal production solutions (2001)

Food safety, as it relates to the maintenance of both animal and human health and welfare, now depends to a large extent upon the inclusion of feed components deemed consumer-safe. In Europe, the growing unwillingness to rely upon standard solutions involving antibiotic or antimicrobial agents has given rise to several alternative strategies, such as that based on natural plant extracts and their intrinsic active principles. Due in part to today's technological advances, new state-of-the-art scientific methods are being used to re-examine these age-old substances, especially as it relates to their potential benefits and limits as valid alternatives for the future. Like their antibiotic predecessors, in the final analysis modern strategies will most likely not be based on one single answer, but on a combined solution of different types of products with well-described actions whose synergism yields benefits without threat of toxicity, end-product residues and microbial resistance
Humoral immune response in human syphilis to polypeptides of <i>Treponema pallidum</i>. (1982)

A molecular characterization of the polypeptide antigens of Treponema pallidum reactive with sera from patients with different stages of syphilis is described. Polypeptides of motile, virulent T. pallidum, purified from rabbit testes, were separated on SDS polyacrylamide gels and electrophoretically transferred to nitrocellulose for antigenic analysis ("Western blotting"). Serum IgG from uninfected individuals reacts weakly with three polypeptides of 45,000, 33,000, and 30,000 m.w. In this study patients with primary syphilis have IgM antibody, and all patients with syphilis have IgG antibody to at least four polypeptides of 45,000, 33,000, 30,000, and 15,500 m.w. Antibody to polypeptides of 42,000 and 16,500 m.w. appear to be markers for nonprimary syphilis. These six polypeptides have been termed the major antigenic proteins (MAP) of T. pallidum. Those patients studied with secondary and early latent syphilis acquire antibody to a set of 16 additional polypeptide antigens. Those patients studied with late latent or late syphilis have antibody to a much smaller set of five or four antigens, respectively, in addition to MAP. The results suggest that a correlation exists between acquisition of antibody and the development of "chancre immunity." Additionally, the loss of antibody that characterizes late latent and late syphilis may be associated with the potential development of destructive late syphilis.
RAR-beta 4, a retinoic acid receptor isoform is generated from RAR-beta 2 by alternative splicing and usage of a CUG initiator codon. (1992)

An isoform of retinoic acid receptor beta, RAR-beta 4, has been identified. RAR-beta 4 is expressed under the control of the same retinoic acid-responsive promoter as RAR-beta 2. RAR-beta 4, which is generated by alternative splicing from the same primary transcripts as RAR-beta 2, is initiated by a non-AUG codon, CUG. The amino acid sequence of RAR-beta 4 in regions B-F is identical to that of the other RAR-beta isoforms beta 1, beta 2, and beta 3. However, the RAR-beta 4 A region is much shorter (4 amino acids long) than those of these isoforms. RAR-beta 4 exhibits a tissue-specific pattern of expression and distinct transcriptional activation properties when compared with the other RAR-beta isoforms.
내측 반월상 연골판 후방 골 기시부 파열의 관절경적 봉합술 후 최소 1년 추시 결과 (2011)

This study is to evaluate clinical and arthroscopic second-look results of arthroscopic repairs of posterior root tears of medial meniscus which may cause loss of circumferential hoop tension and extrusion of meniscus. From October 2006 to May 2009, fifty-eight patients (59 knees) underwent arthroscopic pull-out repairs. Clinical results were evaluated using Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS) score and International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC) score for 12-month follow-up. Second-look arthroscopy was done to evaluate meniscal healing in 21 cases. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was performed to assess status of repaired meniscus and tibial tunnel position in 9 patients. Average preoperative HSS score and IKDC score of 59 cases were 69.5 and 36.0, respectively. Average postoperative HSS score and IKDC score of 59 cases had been changed into 90.3 (p＜0.001) and 66.8 (p＜0.001), respectively. Second-look arthroscopies revealed complete or incomplete healing except one case. Two patients showed increased one grade according to the Kellgren-Lawrence radiologic classification system and others showed no change. Of 9 patients who performed MRI, six patients showed complete healing. The average position of tibial tunnel was 4.8 mm anterior and 5.7 mm medial to center of posterior cruciate ligament. Arthroscopic pull-out repair technique using transtibial tunnel seems to be simple and effective procedure for posterior root tear of medial meniscus. Further evaluation of arthroscopic repair of posterior root tear of medial meniscus should be needed to prove the effectiveness on the prevention of osteoarthritis of knee.
Reduced Survival of Motor Neuron (SMN) Protein in Motor Neuronal Progenitors Functions Cell Autonomously to Cause Spinal Muscular Atrophy in Model Mice Expressing the Human Centromeric ( <i>SMN2</i> ) Gene (2010)

Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is a common (approximately 1:6400) autosomal recessive neuromuscular disorder caused by a paucity of the survival of motor neuron (SMN) protein. Although widely recognized to cause selective spinal motor neuron loss when deficient, the precise cellular site of action of the SMN protein in SMA remains unclear. In this study we sought to determine the consequences of selectively depleting SMN in the motor neurons of model mice. Depleting but not abolishing the protein in motor neuronal progenitors causes an SMA-like phenotype. Neuromuscular weakness in the model mice is accompanied by peripheral as well as central synaptic defects, electrophysiological abnormalities of the neuromuscular junctions, muscle atrophy, and motor neuron degeneration. However, the disease phenotype is more modest than that observed in mice expressing ubiquitously low levels of the SMN protein, and both symptoms as well as early electrophysiological abnormalities that are readily apparent in neonates were attenuated in an age-dependent manner. We conclude that selective knock-down of SMN in motor neurons is sufficient but may not be necessary to cause a disease phenotype and that targeting these cells will be a requirement of any effective therapeutic strategy. This realization is tempered by the relatively mild SMA phenotype in our model mice, one explanation for which is the presence of normal SMN levels in non-neuronal tissue that serves to modulate disease severity.
Synthesis and characterization of glycoside non‐ionic surfactants (1996)

Abstract We report on the synthesis of non‐ionic surfactants via the Koenigs‐Knorr reaction with chemical structures GOR and GOPOG, where GO(H) is glucose, R is n‐decyl or n‐dodecyl, and P is polyoxypropylene or polycaprolactone. Surface properties were studied using a Cenco‐du‐Nouy tensiometer. Light and transmission electron microscopy were used to investigate the phase behavior of the surfactants over a range of concentrations. AOR surfactants, where A is the product of amylose degradation and R is decyl, were synthesized by an alcohol exchange procedure.
Toward a low-cost high-voltage sodium aqueous rechargeable battery (2019)

Recent discovery of high-concentration electrolyte systems has opened a new avenue toward the high-voltage, safe, and low-cost aqueous rechargeable batteries. However, the need for generally high-cost organic solutes in the high-concentration electrolyte has become another major obstacle. Herein, we revisited all the commonly used low-cost solutes for high-concentration system and discovered that the use of NaClO4 solute effectively results in a wide electrochemical stability window by suppressing water decomposition and induces stable solid-electrolyte interphase (SEI) layer formation without involving the reduction of salt anions. The SEI layer, composed of Na2CO3 and Na-O compounds including NaOH, guarantees the excellent electrochemical storage stability of the full-cell composed of Na4Fe3(PO4)(2)(P2O7) cathode and NaTi2(PO4)(3 )anode for the extended period of time. This new class of electrolyte systems provides remarkable cycle stability and a coulombic efficiency of similar to 99% at 1C for over 200 cycles, which outperforms the state-of-the-art super-concentrated systems based on NaCF3SO3.
miR-181a Regulates Cap-Dependent Translation of p27<sup>kip1</sup> mRNA in Myeloid Cells (2009)

p27(kip1) (p27) is a cell cycle inhibitor and tumor suppressor whose expression is tightly regulated in the cell. Translational control of p27 mRNA has emerged as a prominent mechanism to regulate p27 expression during differentiation, quiescence, and cancer progression. The microRNAs miR-221 and miR-222 repress p27 expression in various cancer cells, and this repression promotes tumor cell proliferation. In addition, the presence of an internal ribosome entry site in the 5' untranslated region (UTR) of p27 mRNA has been reported. Here, we show that p27 mRNA is translated via a cap-dependent mechanism in HeLa and HL60 cells and that the previously reported IRES activity can be attributed to cryptic promoters in the sequence corresponding to the p27 5' UTR. Furthermore, cap-dependent translation of p27 mRNA is repressed by miR-181a in undifferentiated HL60 cells. Repression by miR-181a is relieved during differentiation of HL60 into monocyte-like cells, allowing the accumulation of p27, which is necessary to fully block cell cycle progression and reach terminal differentiation. These results identify miR-181a as a regulator of p27 mRNA translation during myeloid cell differentiation.
MCNP/MCNPX model of the annular core research reactor. (2006)

Many experimenters at the Annular Core Research Reactor (ACRR) have a need to predict the neutron/gamma environment prior to testing. In some cases, the neutron/gamma environment is needed to understand the test results after the completion of an experiment. In an effort to satisfy the needs of experimenters, a model of the ACRR was developed for use with the Monte Carlo N-Particle transport codes MCNP [Br03] and MCNPX [Wa02]. The model contains adjustable safety, transient, and control rods, several of the available spectrum-modifying cavity inserts, and placeholders for experiment packages. The ACRR model was constructed such that experiment package models can be easily placed in the reactor after being developed as stand-alone units. An addition to the 'standard' model allows the FREC-II cavity to be included in the calculations. This report presents the MCNP/MCNPX model of the ACRR. Comparisons are made between the model and the reactor for various configurations. Reactivity worth curves for the various reactor configurations are presented. Examples of reactivity worth calculations for a few experiment packages are presented along with the measured reactivity worth from the reactor test of the experiment packages. Finally, calculated neutron/gamma spectra are presented.
Hypoxia-inducible expression of the mouse carbonic anhydrase IX demonstrated by new monoclonal antibodies (2007)

CA IX is a transmembrane carbonic anhydrase isoenzyme predominantly expressed in human tumors in response to hypoxia and functionally implicated in adaptation of tumor cells to hypoxic stress via control of pH and cell adhesion. Intense investigations of the human CA IX as a hypoxic marker and a therapeutic target have been facilitated by specific monoclonal antibodies. However, no such reagents existed for the mouse CA IX ortholog. We generated five new anti-mouse CA IX monoclonal antibodies AM1-4, AM4-3, AM27-4, AM34-7 and AM35-1 produced using CA IX-deficient mice. The antibodies are suitable for various immunodetection methods including immunoblotting and immunohistochemistry. Using these reagents we show that the mouse CA IX is expressed in three out of nine tested mouse cell lines, namely in L929, MEF and TSA and is regulated by hypoxia and cell density similarly to human CA IX. We also demonstrate that the mouse CA IX exhibits hypoxia-related expression pattern in multicellular spheroids and in tumor xenografts. Our results indicate the use of the mouse model as suitable for further studies of CA IX role in tumor development and for its pre-clinical investigations. The new monoclonal antibodies represent potent tools for accomplishment of these future studies.
Bam Earthquake Prediction & Space Technology (2003)

The principal application of space technology to earthquake prediction has traditionally been measurements of ground motion. While this approach has contributed significantly to geophysical studies, it has not yet yielded an earthquake prediction method. An alternative approach that has recently shown great promise is satellite imaging of strange nonmeteorological cloud formations and their correlation with earthquakes. Shou used such a cloud (see Fig. 1) to predict the Bam earthquake of Dec. 26, 2003 to the public. Coarse and fine predictions were made public on the internet (@1) at 17:58 UTC, Dec. 25, 2003. The fine prediction stated that there would be an earthquake of magnitude more than or equal to 5.5 within 60 days along a fault described in Fig. 1, while the coarse prediction allowed magnitude 5 and above, within 98 days. The Bam earthquake occurred precisely on the predicted fault, and its magnitude was within the predicted magnitude windows.

The objective was to assess vaccination programs for calves in a Retained Ownership Program (ROP) and their effect on feedlot performance.
An Empirical Investigation of Deception Behaviorin Instant Messaging (2005)

Various disciplines have extensively studied deception in human communication. With the increasing use of instant messaging (IM) for both informal communication and task performance in the work place, deception in IM is emerging as an important issue. In this study, we explored the behavioral indicators of deception in a group IM setting. The empirical results showed that three types of nonverbal behaviors and three types of verbal behaviors that were investigated could significantly differentiate deceivers from truth tellers. The findings potentially can broaden our knowledge of deception behavior in human communication and improve deception awareness and deception detection in the cyberspace.
Recent Advances in Eosinophil Biology (2007)

Eosinophils are pleiotropic multi-functional leukocytes involved in initiation and propagation of diverse inflammatory responses. Recent studies examining eosinophil biology have focused on delineating the molecular basis of FIP1L1/PDGRFalpha-fusion gene induced HES, the molecular steps involved in eosinophil recruitment in tumor-associated eosinophilia and EGID, and the role of eosinophils in asthma. In this review, these studies are summarized, focusing on the implications of these findings in the understanding the role of eosinophils in diseases.
Influence of dietary gangliosides on neonatal brain development (2009)

Gangliosides are sialic acid-containing glycosphingolipids. Gangliosides are found in human milk; understanding of the potential role of gangliosides in infant development is emerging, with suggested roles in the brain and gut. Ganglioside accretion in the developing brain is highest in utero and in early neonatal life, during the periods of dendritic branching and new synapse formation. Further, brain contains the highest relative ganglioside content in the body, particularly in neuronal cell membranes concentrated in the area of the synaptic membrane. Gangliosides are known to play a role in neuronal growth, migration and maturation, neuritogenesis, synaptogenesis, and myelination. In addition to their roles in development and structure of the brain, gangliosides also play a functional role in nerve cell communication. It is less well known whether dietary gangliosides can influence the development of cognitive function. This review summarizes current knowledge on the role gangliosides play in brain development.
An Approach to Recursive Equalization via White Sequence Estimation Techniques (1987)

A state space modeling approach to equalization, which is applicable to both finite, as well as infinite impulse response channels, is presented. The order of the state space model is typically much Smaller than the length of the impulse response. It is shown by analysis and simulation that the proposed approach has considerably less digit mean square-error as compared to the conventional Kalman filter equalizers for much smaller model orders and, hence, computational efforts.
Responsive Supramolecular Polythiophene Assemblies (1998)

The simple preparation of a novel family of smart polymers based on acid−base complexes between an acidic conjugated polymer (poly(2-(4-methyl-3-thienyloxy)ethanesulfonic acid)) and various amine-containing molecules is described. The neutralization of the acid form of the polymer can be monitored optically in real time through the decrease of the 800 nm absorption band, characteristic of a self-acid-doped state. Moreover, by electrostatically binding adequate responsive substituents, thermochromic, ionochromic, photochromic, and biochromic materials have been easily developed. These optical features seem related to a conformational change of the conjugated main chain driven by side-chain disordering. Furthermore, aminosilane-treated substrates can undergo further modification through electrostatic interactions with partially pre-neutralized polymers, yielding very efficient electrochemical solid-state sensors. It is believed that such a simple methodology, based on electroactive and photoactive supramolecular polymeric assemblies, may open the way to the design of integrated chemical systems incorporating both a trigger and a transducer and can find applications in the areas of biosensors, drug screening, and diagnostics.

Vertically integrated Mach-Zehnder interferometer(VMZ) widely tunable laser diodewith improved wavelength access (1994)

A widely tunable laser diode has been developed in InGaAsP/InP at 1.55 µm wavelength using an integrated vertical Mach-Zehnder (VMZ) interferometer. Regular tuning behaviour is obtained with only one wavelength control current over a tuning range of 30 nm with ~50 accessible wavelengths.
Democratic voting downsampling for coding‐based palmprint recognition (2020)

Downsampling is critical for coding‐based methods to reduce storage and accelerate matching speed. In coding‐based palmprint recognition methods, the image size of the region of interest is typically 128 × 128, which is divided into 32 × 32 blocks and each block consists of 4 × 4 pixels. In the traditional downsampling method, the upper‐left pixel in each block is selected to represent the feature of this block. However, this crude technique likely leads to serious information loss. The feature template heavily depends on the upper‐left pixels, which degrades the tolerance for pixel‐level dislocation and rotation. The authors analyse the downsampling stage in depth, and propose a democratic voting downsampling method (DVDM), which can improve the robustness and accuracy of the coding‐based palmprint recognition methods without any prior knowledge. All the pixels in each block have equal voting rights to determine the feature of this block, so DVDM can extract stable features and effectively overcome the autocracy of an upper‐left pixel. The sufficient experiments tested on the public PolyU palmprint dataset to confirm that DVDM can remarkably improve the robustness to pixel‐level dislocation and rotation, and also improve accuracy performance, equal error rates of the coding‐based methods are dropped down at most 11.5%.
Index interpolation (2000)

In this paper, w epropose a subsequence matching algorithm that supports normalization transform in timeseries databases. Normalization transform enables nding sequences with similar uctuation patterns although they are not close to each other before the normalization transform. Application of the existing whole matching algorithm supporting normalization transform to the subsequence matching is feasible, but requires an index for ev ery possible length of the query sequence causing serious overhead on both storage space and update time. The proposed algorithm generates indexes only for a small number of di erent lengths of query sequences. F or subsequence matching it selects the most appropriate index among them. We can obtain better searc h performance by using more indexes. We c a l l o u r approach index interp olation. We formally pro ve t h a t the proposed algorithm does not cause false dismissal. F or performance evaluation, we h a ve conducted experiments using the indexes for only ve di erent lengths out of the lengths 256 512 of the query sequence. The results show that the proposed algorithm outperforms the sequential scan by up to 14.6 times on the average when the selectivity of the query is 10 ;5 .
