Human Antithrombin Concentrates and Experimental Disseminated Intravascular Coagulation (1985)

The effect of human antithrombin III concentrates was studied in a dog model in which DIC was produced by the infusion of 0.66 M lactic acid. In 35 animals infused with lactic acid only, platelet counts, fibrinogen levels, alpha 2-antiplasmin levels, and antithrombin levels decreased significantly over a 4-hour observation period. At the same time, the levels of fibrin(ogen) split products increased. At the end of the experimental period, the glomeruli of the dogs' kidneys contained significant quantities of fibrin. Hemodynamically, the dogs experienced a significant decrease in cardiac output, whereas the mean arterial blood pressures remained unchanged. Urine output seemed to decline during the time of study. Appreciable quantities of heparin could be measured in the dogs' plasmas. In 13 dogs that were treated in the same manner as the just described 35 animals, 1 U of human antithrombin concentrate per ml of calculated dog plasma was infused over a 90-minute time span, beginning after 1 hour of acidosis. Although no differences were noted in the decrease in platelet counts between the two groups, fibrinogen levels and alpha 2-antiplasmin levels declined less drastically in the antithrombin-treated group. Also the levels of fibrin(ogen) split products increased less in the treated group. The antithrombin activity levels increased markedly and remained at their high levels even after the infusion of antithrombin had ceased. The amount of human antithrombin circulating was followed by immunologic assays using a human antibody to antithrombin. Also, with this technique, the levels of infused antithrombin did not decrease. The amount of fibrin found in the glomeruli of this group of animals was significantly lower than in the nontreated group (p less than 0.001). Even cardiac output was higher in the treated group and urine production seemed to increase. Also, these dogs had appreciable quantities of heparin in their plasmas. In a control group of six animals who were infused with saline instead of lactic acid, no major changes were observed in the coagulation and cardiovascular parameters. These data seem to suggest that antithrombin concentrates exert a certain protective effect in this particular DIC animal model.

Capillary Condensation onto Titania (TiO<sub>2</sub>) Nanoparticle Agglomerates (2007)

A capillary condensation process was developed for the purpose of forming interconnections between nanoparticles at low temperatures. The process was performed in a temperature-controlled flow chamber on nanoparticle agglomerates deposited at submonolayer coverage on a transmission electron microscope grid. The partial pressure of the condensing species, tetraethyl orthosilicate, and the temperature of the chamber were adjusted in order to obtain the various saturation conditions for capillary condensation. The modified samples were characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, BET surface area method, and scanning transmission electron microscopy with electron energy-loss spectrometry. Experimental results show that bridge-shaped layers were dominantly formed in the neck region between particles and were composed of amorphous silica. The analysis of TEM micrographs verified that the coverage of the layers is strongly dependent on the saturation ratio. Image analysis of TEM micrographs shows that this dependency is qualitatively in agreement with theoretical predictions based on the classical Kelvin equation for the specific geometries in our system.
Anti-inflammaory effects of the Gamroeum in vivo and in vitro (2010)

Objectives : The present study was conducted to evaluate the anti-inflammatory effects of the Gamroeum water extracts (GRE) in vivo and in vitro. Methods : The effects of GRE on anti-inflammation were measured by production of NO, (Prostaglandin ), iNOS (inducible Nitric Oxide Synthase), COX-2, (Nuclear Factor kappa B), TNF- (Tumor Necrosis Factor-alpha) and IL- (Interleukin-), IL-6 in Raw 264.7 macrophage cells stimulated with LPS. Results : 1. In machrophage cells, LPS displayed significant stimulatory effects on the production of NO and . However, GRE showed significant inhibitory effects on NO and release. The level of NO and was decreased by GRE in a concentration dependent manner as compared with LPS only group. 2. Immunoblot analysis verified that LPS stimulation significantly increased the iNOS and COX-2 protein level, but GRE suppressed the induction of iNOS and COX-2 protein at a concentration dependent manner. 3. GRE reduced the elevated production of TNF-, IL- and IL-6 by LPS. Moreover, the inhibitory effects of GRE was occurred in a dose-dependent manner. 4. GRE significantly reduced the expression of NF- protein in nuclear fraction. 5. GRE effectively inhibited the increases of hind paw skin thicknesses and inflammatory cell infiltrations induced by carrageenan treatment. It, therefore, considered that GRE will be favorably inhibited the acute edematous inflammations. Conclusions : These results indicated that GRE could have anti-inflammatory capacity by inhibiting the production of NO, and cytokines in vitro and by reducing the formation of carrageenan-induced paw edema in vivo. Moreover, inhibitory effects of GRE on the macrophage activation were attributable to the reduction of some of inflammatory factors by inhibiting iNOS and COX-2 through the suppression of NF-.
Efficient Computation of Sensitivity Coefficients of Node Voltages and Line Currents in Unbalanced Radial Electrical Distribution Networks (2013)

The problem of optimal control of power distribution systems is becoming increasingly compelling due to the progressive penetration of distributed energy resources in this specific layer of the electrical infrastructure. Distribution systems are, indeed, experiencing significant changes in terms of operation philosophies that are often based on optimal control strategies relying on the computation of linearized dependencies between controlled (e.g., voltages, frequency in case of islanding operation) and control variables (e.g., power injections, transformers tap positions). As the implementation of these strategies in real-time controllers imposes stringent time constraints, the derivation of analytical dependency between controlled and control variables becomes a non-trivial task to be solved. With reference to optimal voltage and power flow controls, this paper aims at providing an analytical derivation of node voltages and line currents as a function of the nodal power injections and transformers tap-changers positions. Compared to other approaches presented in the literature, the one proposed here is based on the use of the [Y] compound matrix of a generic multi-phase radial unbalanced network. In order to estimate the computational benefits of the proposed approach, the relevant improvements are also quantified versus traditional methods. The validation of the proposed method is carried out by using both IEEE 13 and 34 nodes test feeders. The paper finally shows the use of the proposed method for the problem of optimal voltage control applied to the IEEE 34 node test feeder.

Is the Aromatic Fragment of Piano‐Stool Ruthenium Compounds an Essential Feature for Anticancer Activity? The Development of New Ru<sup>II</sup>‐[9]aneS<sub>3</sub> Analogues (2005)

Abstract New half‐sandwich Ru II ‐[9]aneS 3 complexes ([9]aneS 3 = 1,4,7‐trithiacyclononane), namely [RuCl 2 (PTA)([9]aneS 3 )] ( 4 ), [RuCl(PTA) 2 ([9]aneS 3 )][OTf] ( 5 ), [RuCl(en)([9]aneS 3 )][OTf] ( 6 ), [RuCl(enac)([9]aneS 3 )][OTf] ( 7 ), [RuCl(bipy)([9]aneS 3 )][OTf] ( 8 ), and [Ru(dmso‐S)(bipy)([9]aneS 3 )][OTf] 2 ( 9 ) [PTA = 1,3,5‐triaza‐7‐phosphaadamantane; enac = 1,2‐bis(isopropyleneimino)ethane; OTf = CF 3 SO 3 – ] were prepared from Ru‐[9]aneS 3 –dmso precursors and structurally characterized, both in solution and in the solid state by X‐ray crystallography. Some of them are analogs of known cytotoxic organometallic Ru II ‐(η 6 ‐arene) and Ru II ‐(η 5 ‐cyclopentadienyl) compounds, in which the aromatic fragment is replaced by the sulfur macrocycle 1,4,7‐trithiacyclononane, while the rest of the coordination sphere is left unchanged. Similarly to the aromatic analogs for which data are available, in aqueous solution the Ru‐[9]aneS 3 complexes (with the exception of 5 ) hydrolyze a chloride (or a dmso in the case of 9 ) to give the corresponding aquo species. This process is rapidly reversed in the presence of free chloride, and coordination of phosphate is likely to occur to the aquo species in phosphate buffered solutions at physiological pH. Preliminary in vitro tests performed on complexes 4 – 6 against the mouse adenocarcinoma cancer cell line (TS/A) and the human mammary normal cell line (HBL‐100) showed that, in general, the Ru‐[9]aneS 3 compounds have a cytotoxicity comparable to that of the corresponding organometallic analogs. These results suggest that the aromatic fragment of the piano‐stool Ru II compounds is not an essential feature for the in vitro anticancer activity, and it might be effectively replaced by another face‐capping ligand with a low steric demand, such as [9]aneS 3 .

Abducens Nerve Paralysis: A Potential Presentation of Sphenoid Sinus Cancer (1986)

The sphenoid sinus is the paranasal sinus most commonly implicated when cranial neuropathies are present. Two patients presenting with sixth nerve paralysis secondary to sphenoid sinus involvement are presented. One patient had a primary sphenoid sinus tumor, and the other a metastasis from a bronchogenic carcinoma. Of the two patients, one carried the diagnosis of idiopathic sixth nerve paresis and had had a normal sinus x-ray film and CAT scan done previously. Even in the absence of positive radiographic findings, the high clinical suspicion of sinus malignancy must be maintained in patients manifesting abducens nerve paralysis. In these patients, the petrous apex and cavernous sinus "silent area" must be diligently evaluated. For the patient to have any chance for palliation or potential cure, the tumor must be diagnosed as soon as possible.
Longest increasing subsequences: from patience sorting to the Baik-Deift-Johansson theorem (1999)

We describe a simple one-person card game, <italic>patience sorting</italic> . Its analysis leads to a broad circle of ideas linking Young tableaux with the longest increasing subsequence of a random permutation via the Schensted correspondence. A recent highlight of this area is the work of Baik-Deift-Johansson which yields limiting probability laws via hard analysis of Toeplitz determinants.

Design Analysis for Current-transformer Based High-frequency Auxiliary Power Supply for SiC-based Medium Voltage Converter Systems (2020)

This paper presents a design of 1 MHz isolated auxiliary power supply system using gallium nitride (GaN) devices with medium voltage insulation reinforcement. The designed power supply is capable to simultaneously supply multiple gate drivers and auxiliary components for 10 kV silicon carbide (SiC) MOSFETs based converter systems with a strong high dv/dt common-mode noise immunity. In the system, a highfrequency soft-switched resonant topology and current-fed switching voltage regulator are applied to the power supplies sending and receiving sides respectively. To achieve medium voltage insulation (PD free) as well as low coupling capacitor (<; 2 pF) of the system, a current based transformer with single turn on the sending side is designed. This complete auxiliary power supply design is capable of driving more than 6 distributed loads with total power of 120 W under different conditions and it is immune to load failures.
Characterization of thin film electron emitters by scanning anode field emission microscopy (2001)

Scanning anode field emission microscopy is used to map the electron emission current I(x,y) under constant anode voltage and the electron extraction voltage V(x,y) under constant emission current as a function of tip position on carbon based thin film emitters. The spatially resolved field enhancement factor β(x,y) is derived from V(x,y) maps. It is shown that large variations in the emission site density (ESD) and current density can be explained in terms of the spatial variation of the field enhancement β(x,y). Comparison of β(x,y) and I(x,y) shows that electron emission currents are correlated to the presence of high aspect ratio field enhancing structures. We introduce the concept of field enhancement distribution f(β), which is derived from β(x,y) maps to characterize the field emission properties of thin films. In this context f(β)dβ gives the number of emitters on a unit surface with field enhancement factors in the interval (β,β+dβ). It is shown experimentally for the carbon thin film emitters investigated that f(β) has an exponential dependence with regard to the field enhancement factor β. The field enhancement distribution function f(β) can be said to give a complete characterization of the thin film field emission properties. As a consequence, the emitted current density and ESD can be optimized by tuning f(β) of the emitting thin film.

Class E tuned power amplifier with shunt inductor (1981)

The `class E tuned power amplifier with a shunt inductor' is presented. It offers a DC-to-RF power conversion efficiency approaching 100 percent. The proposed circuit of the amplifier uses a shunt inductor instead of a shunt capacitor. The conditions for optimum operation are formulated and discussed. The following are determined: the waveforms, the fundamental-frequency components, the peak values of the collector current and voltage, the output power, and the values of the load network elements. Experimental results are also presented. The proposed amplifier circuit minimizes the power dissipated during the on-to-off transition, even if the switching time is an appreciable fraction of the signal period.
Somatostatin and somatostatin analogues: pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamic effects. (1994)

Somatostatin is a 14 amino acid peptide that inhibits pancreatic exocrine and endocrine secretion. Its clinical application has been limited by its very short half life, necessitating continuous intravenous infusion. Octreotide is an 8 amino acid synthetic analogue of somatostatin that possesses similar pharmacological effects. It has a much longer duration of action, however, and can be given subcutaneously. Both the intravenous and subcutaneous routes of injection of octreotide are well tolerated. Peak serum concentrations occur within 30 minutes after subcutaneous administration and within four minutes of a three minute intravenous infusion. Serum concentration increases linearly with dose. Octreotide is distributed rapidly, mainly in the plasma, where it is 65% protein bound. The elimination half life is about 1.5 hours and about 32% of a subcutaneous dose is excreted in the urine as unchanged octreotide. Octreotide inhibits gastroenteropancreatic secretion, especially of insulin, glucagon, pancreatic polypeptide, gastric inhibitory polypeptide, and gastrin. It also inhibits both release of thyroid stimulating hormone and growth hormone secretion in response to exercise, insulin induced hypoglycaemia, and argenine stimulation. Octreotide reduces splanchnic blood flow in healthy volunteers and hepatic venous pressure in cirrhotic patients. It can accelerate or delay gastric emptying, prolong transit time at moderate to high doses, stimulate motility at low doses, and inhibit gall bladder emptying. Octreotide considerably inhibits pentagastrin stimulated gastric acid secretion and significantly diminishes exocrine pancreatic function (amylase, trypsin, lipase). Octreotide increases intestinal transit time and decreases endogenous fluid secretion in the jejunum and ileum, thus increasing the absorption of water and electrolytes. These pharmacological effects of the analogue point to its therapeutic role in a variety of endocrine and gastrointestinal disorders.
Hybrid Golomb codes for a group of quantised GG sources (2003)

The authors develop a class of codes for quantised generalised Gaussian (GG) sources. This new class of codes, that are called hybrid Golomb (HG) codes, are hybrids of Golomb–Rice (GR) codes and exp-Golomb (EG) codes. They integrate the properties of both GR and EG codes, which makes their performance more robust under variable source parameters. The efficiencies of the three classes of codes are compared and it is shown that the set of HG codes have efficiencies of approximately 70% or greater for a wide range of parameter values, whereas GR and EG codes can have efficiencies lower than 20%. The efficiencies of the set of HG codes are also compared with the set of EG codes that have the best performance under parameter scaling. It is shown that this set of HG codes still achieve a higher efficiency.
Plasmid-dependent attachment of Agrobacterium tumefaciens to plant tissue culture cells (1978)

Kinetic, microscopic, and biochemical studies show that virulent Ti (tumor inducing)-plasmid-containing strains of Agrobacterium attach to normal tobacco and carrot tissue culture cells. Kinetic studies showed that virulent strains of A. tumefaciens attach to the plant tissue culture cells in increasing numbers during the first 1 to 2 h of incubation of the bacteria with the plant cells. Five Ti-plasmid-containing virulent Agrobacterium strains showed greater attachment to tobacco cells than did five avirulent strains. Light and scanning electron microscopic observations confirmed that virulent strains showed little attachment. Bacterial attachment was blocked by prior incubation of the plant cells with lipopolysaccharide extracted from A. tumefaciens, but not from A. radiobacter, suggesting that bacterial lipopolysaccharide is one of the components involved in the attachment process. At least one other bacterial product may be required for attachment in tissue culture because the virulent A. tumefaciens NT1, which lacks the Ti plasmid, does not itself attach to tobacco cells, but its lipopolysaccharide does inhibit the attachment of virulent strains.
Efficient iterative design method for cosine-modulated QMF banks (1996)

An iterative algorithm for the design of multichannel cosine-modulated quadrature mirror-image filter (QMF) banks with near-perfect reconstruction is proposed. The objective function is formulated as a quadratic function in each step whose minimum point can be obtained using a closed-form solution. This approach has high design efficiency and leads to filter banks with high stopband attenuation and low aliasing and amplitude distortions. The proposed approach is then extended to the design of multichannel cosine-modulated QMF banks with low reconstruction delays, which are often required, especially in real-time applications. Several design examples are included to demonstrate the proposed algorithms, and some comparisons are made with existing designs.
