Differential expression pattern of heme oxygenase-1/heat shock protein 32 and nitric oxide synthase-II and their impact on liver injury in a rat model of hemorrhage and resuscitation (1999)

These data suggest that HO-1/HSP32, but not the alternative cyclic guanosine monophosphate-generating enzyme NOS-II, is induced after hemorrhage and resuscitation and protects against hepatocellular injury. Both metabolites generated by the heme oxygenase pathway, e.g., carbon monoxide (a vasodilator) and biliverdin (an antioxidant) seem to contribute to the salutary effects of induction of HO-1/HSP32.
Recent progress in unstructured grid generation (1992)

A number of recent developments and improvements in unstructured grid generation are discussed. Emphasis is given to the enhancement of capabilities of unstructured grid generation code based on the advancing front technique for generating triangular and tetrahedral grids. Two new methods have been devised to facilitate the process of grid generation: (1) structured background grids and their application to 3D unstructured grid generation and (2) grid restart capability. New postprocessing tools to manipulate generated grids include grid optimization, local remeshing, and interpolation for unstructured grids. Examples and references are given to show the applications of these developments.
A Practical Vulnerability Assessment Program (2007)

Firewalls, malicious-code-screening servers, and intrusion-detection systems aren't sufficiently comprehensive to ensure appropriate and ongoing information confidentiality, integrity, and availability. A practical vulnerability assessment program lets organizations identify potential security exposures and correct any deficiencies.
Microbial Hydroxylation and Methylation of Genistein by <i>Streptomycetes</i> (1999)

Streptomyces griseus (ATCC 10137) and Streptomyces catenulae (ATCC 23893) were used to convert genistein5,7,4‘-trihydroxyisoflavone (1)a major isoflavone found in soybeans, into five metabolites, four of which were previously unknown. These were 5,7,3‘,4‘-tetrahydroxy-8-methylisoflavone (3), 5,7,3‘,4‘-tetrahydroxy-8-methylisoflavanone (4), 5,7,4‘-trihydroxy-3‘-methoxyisoflavone (5), 5,7,8,3‘,4‘-pentahydroxyisoflavone (7), and the known compound, 5,7-dihydroxy-3‘,4‘-dimethoxyisoflavone (6). Identities of these metabolites were established by HRFABMS and 1D and 2D NMR correlation spectroscopy.
StereoLithography 1993: QuickCast TM (2018)

Previously, StereoLithography (SL) generated solid patterns had limited success highly\naccurate shell investment casting applications. The majority of the failures involved the cracking of\nthe ceramic investment casting shell. However, the recent invention of the QuickCast 'l'M build-style\nand the development of a new epoxy resin, XB 5170, led to an unprecedented level of success\nthe burnout process of SL patterns from investment casting shells. Unlike conventional\nbuilding techniques, QuickCast involves the building of SL patterns with essentially hollow\nstructures. When the low viscosity liquid epoxy resin is drained from the interior of the pattern,\nvoids are formed, allowing the cured resin to collapse inwards during the autoclave and burn-out\nstages. This effectively prevents the shells from cracking as the result of outward thermal\nexpansion. 3D Systems formed QuickCast teams with three respected foundries to test shell\ninvestment casting using SL patterns. A test part having relatively complex geometries a\nBoeing 737 cargo door bracket) was selected. To date, this SL part has been successfully cast\naluminum, titanium, beryllium-copper, and stainless steel, with RMS surface finish as low as 1\nmicrometer, without any subsequent finishing operations.

Distributed Low-Latency Out-of-Order Event Processing for High Data Rate Sensor Streams (2013)

Event-based Systems (EBS) are used to detect and analyze meaningful events in surveillance, sports, finances and many other areas. With rising data and event rates and with correlations among these events, sequential event processing becomes infeasible and needs to be distributed. Existing approaches cannot deal with the ubiquity of out-of-order event arrival that is introduced by network delays when distributing EBS. Order-less event processing may result in a system failure. We present a low-latency approach based on K-slack that achieves ordered event processing on high data rate sensor and event streams without a-priori knowledge. Slack buffers are dynamically adjusted to fit the disorder in the streams without using local or global clocks. The middleware transparently reorders the event input streams so that events can still be aggregated and processed to a granularity that satisfies the demands of the application. On a Realtime Locating System (RTLS) our system performs accurate low-latency event detection under the predominance of out-of-order event arrival and with a close to linear performance scale-up when the system is distributed over several threads and machines.
OPTICAL-FAINT, FAR-INFRARED-BRIGHT <i>HERSCHEL</i> SOURCES IN THE CANDELS FIELDS: ULTRA-LUMINOUS INFRARED GALAXIES AT <i>z</i> > 1 AND THE EFFECT OF SOURCE BLENDING (2014)

The Herschel very wide-field surveys have charted hundreds of square degrees in multiple far-IR\n(FIR) bands. While the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) is currently the best resource for optical\ncounterpart identifications over such wide areas, it does not detect a large number of Herschel FIR\nsources and leaves their nature undetermined. As a test case, we studied seven ''SDSS-invisible'', very\nbright 250 m sources (S250 > 55 mJy) in the Cosmic Assembly Near-infrared Deep Extragalactic\nLegacy Survey (CANDELS) fields where we have a rich multi-wavelength data set. We took a new\napproach to decompose the FIR sources, using the near-IR or the optical images directly for position\npriors. This is an improvement over the previous decomposition efforts where the priors are from\nmid-IR data that still suffer from the source blending problem in the first place. We found that in\nmost cases the single Herschel sources are made of multiple components that are not necessarily at the\nsame redshifts. Our decomposition succeeded in identifying and extracting their major contributors.\nWe show that these are all ULIRGs at z 1 - 2 whose high LIR is mainly due to dust-obscured\nstar formation. Most of them would not be selected as sub-mm galaxies. They all have complicated\nmorphologies indicative of merger or violent instability, and their stellar populations are heterogeneous\nin terms of stellar masses, ages and formation histories. Their current ULIRG phases are of various\ndegrees of importance in their stellar mass assembly. Our practice provides a promising starting point\nto develop an automatic routine to reliably study bright Herschel sources.
Enhancement of the antiproliferative effect of <i>cis</i>‐diamminedichloroplatinum(II) and nitrogen mustard by inhibitors of protein kinase C (1988)

Quercetin (3,3',4',5,7-pentahydroxyflavone) has been shown to inhibit a variety of enzymes including the calcium- and phospholipid-dependent protein kinase (protein kinase C) in vivo and in vitro. We show that this compound synergistically enhances the antiproliferative activity of cis-diamminedichloroplatinum(II) (cis-DDP) and nitrogen mustard. Quercetin does not affect the repair of DNA interstrand cross-links introduced by cis-DDP. Long-term exposure to 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA), which reduces total protein kinase C activity, also amplifies the growth-inhibitory effect of cis-DDP and acts synergistically with quercetin. A synergism is also observed if tamoxifen or staurosporine are combined with cis-DDP. For both drugs the dose-effect curves for the inhibition of protein kinase C closely resemble the dose-effect curves for the antiproliferative activities. Although alternative mechanisms cannot be definitively excluded, the effects of quercetin, TPA, tamoxifen and staurosporine may result from the inhibition of protein kinase C.
Layered multipoint network defense and security policy enforcement (2001)

This paper discusses the enhancement of security in general purpose operating systems, especially related to threats caused by internetworking, using extensions to operating systems. Such mechanisms have a significantly larger basis for reaching security policy decisions than older host-level security mechanisms and firewalls. By layering defensive mechanisms yet enforcing a consistent security policy across the security layers, goals such as workload distribution, vulnerability compartmentalization, and hierarchical refinement of security policies can be achieved.
A Modified Valley Fill Electronic Ballast Having a Current Source Resonant Inverter With Improved Line-Current Total Harmonic Distortion (THD), High Power Factor, and Low Lamp Crest Factor (2008)

In this paper, a modified valley fill (VF) circuit is employed to combine with a current-fed resonant inverter as a passive high power factor (PF) electronic ballast. A conventional VF circuit limits the line current to conduct when the conduction angles are: 30deg les omegat les 150deg and 210deg les omegat les 330deg during the line period, which results in high total harmonic distortion (THD). The modified VF circuit has the following advantage: When the capacitors are connected in parallel, the voltage across the capacitors is one-third of the peak voltage, which allows the conduction angle of the line current to be further extended to 19.5deg les omegat les 160.5deg and 199.5deg les omegat les 340.5deg, so that a lower THD can be achieved. The high lamp crest factor (CF) problem generated by the high ripple voltage from the modified VF circuit is improved in the proposed ballast as variable frequency control is employed to continuously regulate the lamp current. An experimental prototype is then built in the laboratory to verify the feasibility of the proposed work for a 26-W compact fluorescent lamp. The final results confirm that a PF of 0.986 and a lamp CF of 1.49 are achieved with the proposed circuit, whereas a PF of 0.96 is achieved with the conventional VF ballast.
Facile Synthesis and Relaxation Properties of Novel Bispolyazamacrocyclic Gd<sup>3+</sup> Complexes: An Attempt towards Calcium-Sensitive MRI Contrast Agents (2008)

Three novel GdDO3A-type bismacrocyclic complexes, conjugated to Ca (2+) chelating moieties like ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid and diethylenetriamine pentaacetic acid bisamides, were synthesized as potential "smart" magnetic resonance imaging contrast agents. Their sensitivity toward Ca (2+) was studied by relaxometric titrations. A maximum relaxivity increase of 15, 6, and 32% was observed upon Ca (2+) binding for Gd 2L (1), Gd 2L (2), and Gd 2L (3), respectively (L (1) = N, N-bis{1-[{[({1-[1,4,7-tris(carboxymethyl)-1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane-10-yl]eth-2-yl}amino)carbonyl]methyl}-(carboxymethyl)amino]eth-2-yl}aminoacetic acid; L (2) = N, N-bis[1-({[({alpha-[1,4,7-tris(carboxymethyl)-1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane-10-yl]- p-tolylamino}carbonyl)methyl]-(carboxymethyl)}amino)eth-2-yl]aminoacetic acid; L (3) = 1,2-bis[{[({1-[1,4,7-tris(carboxymethyl)-1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane-10-yl]eth-2-yl}amino)carbonyl]methyl}(carboxymethyl)amino]ethane). The apparent association constants are log K A = 3.6 +/- 0.1 for Gd 2L (1) and log K A = 3.4 +/- 0.1 for Gd 2L (3). For the interaction between Mg (2+) and Gd 2L (1), log K A = 2.7 +/- 0.1 has been determined, while no relaxivity change was detected with Gd 2L (3). Luminescence lifetime measurements on the Eu (3+) complexes in the absence of Ca (2+) gave hydration numbers of q = 0.9 (Eu 2L (1)), 0.7 (Eu 2L (2)), and 1.3 (Eu 2L (3)). The parameters influencing proton relaxivity of the Gd (3+) complexes were assessed by a combined nuclear magnetic relaxation dispersion (NMRD) and (17)O NMR study. Water exchange is relatively slow on Gd 2L (1) and Gd 2L (2) ( k ex (298) = 0.5 and 0.8 x 10 (6) s (-1)), while it is faster on Gd 2L (3) (k ex (298) = 80 x 10 (6) s (-1)); in any case, it is not sensitive to the presence of Ca (2+). The rotational correlation time, tau R (298), differs for the three complexes and reflects their rigidity. Due to the benzene linker, the Gd 2L (2) complex is remarkably rigid, with a correspondingly high relaxivity despite the low hydration number ( r 1 = 10.2 mM (-1)s (-1) at 60 MHz, 298 K). On the basis of all available experimental data from luminescence, (17)O NMR, and NMRD studies on the Eu (3+) and Gd (3+) complexes of L (1) and L (3) in the absence and in the presence of Ca (2+), we conclude that the relaxivity increase observed upon Ca (2+) addition can be mainly ascribed to the increase in the hydration number, and, to a smaller extent, to the Ca (2+)-induced rigidification of the complex.
Comparison of DSP-based TDMA and FDMA channel aggregation techniques in mobile fronthauling (2018)

Cloud Radio Access Network (C-RAN) is perceived as a future essential technology to satisfy the ever-increasing demand of mobile data traffic. Considerable research efforts are expending in the optimization of C-RAN architecture. In this paper, we perform a comparison of two DSP-based fronthauling techniques for aggregation of radio waveforms: time division multiple access (TDMA) and frequency division multiple access (FDMA), in terms of error vector magnitude (EVM), spectral bandwidth efficiency and digital signal processing (DSP) complexity as a performance metrics. The two techniques are compared by means of simulation and validated experimentally on an intensity modulation and direct detection (IM-DD) optical fronthaul link capable of aggregating 48 and 96 LTE-A (20 MHz) channels. Moreover, we made simulation comparison on 24 (100 MHz) new radio (NR) waveforms which will be used in the upcoming 5G applications. We reveal that there is ∼50% and ∼20% spectral efficiency gain by TDMA aggregation on LTE-A and NR waveforms respectively. Hence TDMA gives slightly better performance in the case of 96 LTE-A channels which is attributed to slightly better linearity over the optical channel frequency response for larger number of channel. In addition, we show that TDMA is more efficient in terms of complexity than FDMA system that requires an additional pre-emphasis technique to equalize the overall per channel performance.
N‐Methylation in polylegionaminic acid is associated with the phase‐variable epitope of <i>Legionella pneumophila</i> serogroup 1 lipopolysaccharide (2002)

Previously, a phase-variable epitope was detected in the virulent wild-type strain RC1 of Legionella pneumophila serogroup 1 subgroup OLDA using a lipopolysaccharide-specific monoclonal antibody, mAb 2625 [Lüneberg, E., Zähringer, U., Knirel, Y. A., Steinmann, D., Hartmann, M., Steinmetz, I., Rohde, M., Kohl, J. & Frosch, M. (1998) J.Exp. Med. 188, 49-60]. In the present study, an isogenic mutant strain, termed 5215, was constructed by deletion of genes involved in the biosynthesis of the mAb 2625 epitope. Mutant 5215 was as virulent as the parental wild-type RC1 but did not bind mAb 2625. The two strains showed no difference in the core oligosaccharide and lipid A but in the O-chain polysaccharide structure, which is a homopolymer of 5-acetimidoylamino-7-acetamido-3,5,7,9-tetradeoxy-d-glycero-d-galacto-non-2-ulosonic acid (a derivative of legionaminic acid). NMR spectroscopic studies revealed a hitherto unknown modification of bacterial polysaccharides in the wild-type strain, namely N-methylation of the 5-acetimidoylamino group on a single legionaminic acid residue that is located, most likely, proximal to the core oligosaccharide. Two major N-methylated substituents, the (N,N-dimethylacetimidoyl)amino and acetimidoyl(N-methyl) amino groups, could be allocated to the long- and middle-chain O-polysaccharide species, respectively. N-Methylation of legionaminic acid that was absent from the isogenic mutant 5215 and from the spontaneous phase variant 811, correlated with the presence of the mAb 2625 epitope.

Self-Concept Discrepancy Theory: A Psychological Model for Distinguishing among Different Aspects of Depression and Anxiety (1985)

This study tested whether self-concept discrepancy theory (Higgins, 1983) provides a psychological model for distinguishing among different aspects of depression and anxiety. Nondepressed, slightly depressed, and moderately depressed undergraduates filled out a variety of standard questionnaires—the Beck Depression Inventory, Blatt Depressive Experiences Questionnaire, Emotions Questionnaire (measuring chronic rather than momentary affect), and Hopkins Symptom Checklist (Depression, Anxiety, Hostility, and Somatization subscales)—as well as the Selves Questionnaire, which was created to measure self-concept discrepancy. The Selves Questionnaire asked subjects to list up to 10 attributes associated with each of six different self-concepts. Each self-concept involved a particular domain of the self (i.e., the “actual” self, the “ideal” self, or the “ought” self) combined with a particular standpoint on that self (i.e., the subject's “own” standpoint or the standpoint of a significant “other”). To calculate the magnitude of discrepancy between any two self-concepts for a given subject, the attributes in each self-concept were compared to the attributes in the other self-concept, and the total number of attribute pairs that matched (i.e., synonyms) was subtracted from the total number of attribute pairs that mismatched (i.e., antonyms). Zero-order and partial correlations were then performed to examine the relation between various emotional symptoms and the different kinds of actual-ideal discrepancies and actual-ought discrepancies. As predicted, actual-ideal discrepancy was generally associated with dejection-related emotions and symptoms, whereas actual-ought discrepancy was generally associated with agitation—related emotions and symptoms. The implications of these findings for previous theories and measures of depression, anxiety, and low self-esteem are discussed.

Gluconeogenesis in the Castor Bean Endosperm (1971)

The control points of the Embden-Meyerhof-Parnas pathway in germinating castor bean (Ricinus communis) endosperms are sought in two ways: (a) by measuring the amounts of various glycolytic intermediates at intervals during the germination; (b) by determining the crossover points appearing during anoxia.A significant departure from thermodynamic equilibrium between substrates and products is found at the level of fructose 1,6-diphosphatase and phosphofructokinase. A definite shift of this ratio is observed at the onset of active gluconeogenesis. The concentrations of phosphoenolpyruvate and 3-phosphoglyceric acid increase at the same time. Another departure from the expected equilibrium is also observed at the level of the pyruvate kinase.The imposition of anoxia on 5-day-old endosperms reveals two crossover points, at the level of the same enzymes. It is therefore concluded that they regulate the glycolytic flow.The maximal glycolytic flow, however, is only 1/10 of the gluconeogenic one. To account for this high gluconeogenic efficiency, it is postulated that gluconeogenesis and glycolysis occur in separate intracellular regions. The consistent departure from equilibrium between adenylates observed during the early stages of anoxia supports the concepts that the pools of glycolytic and gluconeogenic intermediates are indeed compartmented and that the two processes are independently regulated.
Cell salvage for minimising perioperative allogeneic blood transfusion (2010)

The results suggest cell salvage is efficacious in reducing the need for allogeneic red cell transfusion in adult elective cardiac and orthopaedic surgery. The use of cell salvage did not appear to impact adversely on clinical outcomes. However, the methodological quality of trials was poor. As the trials were unblinded and lacked adequate concealment of treatment allocation, transfusion practices may have been influenced by knowledge of the patients' treatment status potentially biasing the results in favour of cell salvage.
