The Load That Maximizes the Average Mechanical Power Output During Explosive Bench Press Throws in Highly Trained Athletes (2001)

The power output generated with different barbell loads and which resistance generated the maximum mechanical power output (Pmax) during explosive bench press-type throws (BT) in a smith machine device were investigated in power-trained athletes. Thirty-one rugby league players were tested for 1 repetition maximum (1RM) free-weight bench press strength (1RM BP). Maximal power output was assessed by the Plyometric Power System during BT using resistances of 40, 50, 60, 70, and 80 kg (BT P40, BT P50, BT P60, BT P70, and BT P80). It was found that BT Pmax occurred with resistance of 70.1 ± 7.9 kg, representing 55 ± 5.3% of 1RM BP of 129.7 ± 14.3 kg. The power output with all loads except the BT P70 were different from the BT Pmax. The BT P70 and BT P80 were not different from each other. Furthermore, the BT P60 and BT P80 were not different from each other. This suggests that although resistances of 55% 1RM BP may maximize power output during explosive BT, loads in the range of 46–62% also allow for high power outputs. Resistances of 31–45% of 1RM BP resulted in significantly lower power outputs. Compared with previous research of BT in strength-trained athletes, the results of this investigation suggest that power-trained athletes may generate their Pmax at higher percentages of 1RM.
The Role of Echocardiography in the Evaluation of Patients With Left Ventricular Assist Devices (2002)

The growing population of heart failure patients and the corresponding increase in demand for donor hearts has led to the need of alternate medical therapies. The availability of donor hearts is scarce, transplant is expensive, and many patients are too ill to withstand the transplant operation. Left ventricular assist devices (LVADs) have aided in the treatment leading up to heart transplantation and the recovery of reversible myocardial damage. With the increasing use of LVADs, echocardiography has become an extensive diagnostic aid in the evaluation of patients with LVADs. Because of this growing use of LVADs, it is necessary for sonographers to have a complete and current awareness of these devices. This literature review aims to expand the echocardiographer's knowledge of LVADs and to offer suggestions and techniques that may help in the evaluation of a patient with an LVAD.
A Gene Responsible for the Pigment Dispersion Syndrome Maps to Chromosome 7q35-q36 (1997)

The pigment dispersion syndrome was found to be inherited as an autosomal dominant trait in 4 affected pedigrees. The gene responsible for the syndrome in these 4 families maps to the telomeric end of the long arm of chromosome 7 (i.e., 7q35-q36). Locating a gene responsible for this condition is the first step toward the isolation of the gene itself. Characterization of the responsible gene will help elucidate the pathophysiology of this disease and potentially will lead to new methods of diagnosis and treatment.

Electrochemical behaviour of resazurin in aqueous buffered solutions and ionic liquid was studied. The orientation of adsorbed resazurin was estimated. It is found that, the orientation of the adsorbed resazurin at glassy carbon surface is edgewise.
Evaluation of capsule endoscopy results in patients with portal hypertension and obscure gastrointestinal bleeding (2007)

Capsule endoscopy is a useful method in patients with portal hypertension and obscure gastrointestinal bleeding after negative upper endoscopy and colonoscopy. Multiple angiodysplasias are often diagnosed in the background of small bowel bleedings, and several bleeding sources frequently occur in these patients.
In Vitro Culture of Embryos and Ovules of Certain Incompatible Selfs and Crosses among Impatiens Species1 (1980)

Abstract Seedlings were obtained from incompatible crosses and seifs of certain African and Indian Impatiens by culturing excised embryos and ovules in vitro after fertilization in vivo. Selfed seedlings of I. campanulata Wight, I. epiphytica G. M. Schulze, I. hookeriana Am., and I. pseudoviola Gilg. were obtained by embryo and ovule cultures. Hybrid seedlings of I. hookeriana × I. campanulata were derived from embryo culture. Few to several hybrid seedlings each of I. flaccida alba Arn. × I. repens Moon, I. uguenensis Warb. × I. epiphytica , and I. uguenensis × I. flaccida alba were developed from cultures of 5- to 16-day-old ovules. Some ovules from 11 out of 57 incompatible crosses cultured in vitro grew and germinated. Except for I. hookeriana selfed progenies resembled their parents in gross morphology and breeding behavior. I. hookeriana selfed seedlings had smaller flowers and less pollen than their parents. Most hybrids exhibited blended parental characteristics, and all were sterile. Four interspecific hybrid progeneis are reported for the first time.
EDGE PASSIVATION FOR SMAILL-AREA, HIGH EFFICIENCY SOLAR CELLS (2007)

Small-area, laboratory solar cells usually suffer significant efficiency loss after being detached from their host wafer due to edge recombination at the cut-face. This problem has afflicted the n-type Interdigitated Backside Buried Contact (IBBC) solar cells developed at UNSW, limiting the fill factor to 0.77 and the efficiency to 19.2%. In this work, the edge recombination is reduced by introducing a laser-scribed groove into the IBBC fabrication sequence to function as both edge passivation and isolation along the cell perimeter. Unlike the current laser edge isolation used in the back-end of commercial production lines, the laser-scribed isolation trench is applied in the front-end of the process and therefore receives a laser-damage etch as well as a high-quality thermal oxide. With the incorporation of this novel edge design, the dark saturation current associated with the unpassivated edge (J02) is significantly reduced from 8-11 nA/cm 2 to 3.3 nA/cm 2 , thereby increasing the fill factor to 0.79 and the
A geometric model for on-line social networks (2010)

We study the link structure of on-line social networks (OSNs), and introduce a new model for such networks which may help infer their hidden underlying reality. In the geo-protean (GEO-P) model for OSNs nodes are identified with points in Euclidean space, and edges are stochastically generated by a mixture of the relative distance of nodes and a ranking function. With high probability, the GEO-P model generates graphs satisfying many observed properties of OSNs, such as power law degree distributions, the small world property, densification power law, and bad spectral expansion. We introduce the dimension of an OSN based on our model, and examine this new parameter using actual OSN data. We discuss how the dimension parameter of an OSN may eventually be used as a tool to group users with similar attributes using only the link structure of the network.
Quantum-chemical modeling of boron and noble gas dopants in silicon (1983)

The electronic effects of the presence of boron and noble gas dopants in a model silicon lattice were investigated using a self-consistent charge extended Hückel program. The extent of electronic interaction of the noble gas with the lattice is given by: Kr&gt;Ar&gt;Ne. Theoretically, boron diffusion in the presence of neon, argon or krypton was examined using a self-consistent charge extended Hückel program. The net energy of interaction between boron and neon is strongly repulsive while argon–boron exhibits a region of relative stability; krypton exhibits behavior similar to argon though no region of stability was found for the range of separations used in the calculations. Finally, it is noted, from the relative energy of the topmost filled molecular orbital associated with boron (in an interstitial position), that activation of the boron does not require boron movement but can be accomplished by indirect transitions.
Marginal Likelihood Training of BiLSTM-CRF for Biomedical Named Entity Recognition from Disjoint Label Sets (2018)

Extracting typed entity mentions from text is a fundamental component to language understanding and reasoning. While there exist substantial labeled text datasets for multiple subsets of biomedical entity types-such as genes and proteins, or chemicals and diseasesit is rare to find large labeled datasets containing labels for all desired entity types together. This paper presents a method for training a single CRF extractor from multiple datasets with disjoint or partially overlapping sets of entity types. Our approach employs marginal likelihood training to insist on labels that are present in the data, while filling in "missing labels". This allows us to leverage all the available data within a single model. In experimental results on the Biocreative V CDR (chemicals/diseases), Biocreative VI ChemProt (chemicals/proteins) and Med-Mentions (19 entity types) datasets, we show that joint training on multiple datasets improves NER F1 over training in isolation, and our methods achieve state-of-the-art results.
Fiber Optic Microsensor For Continuous In-Vivo Measurement Of Blood Gases (1987)

A disposable sterile fiber optic probe has been developed to continuously monitor blood gases while residing within a 20 gauge radial artery catheter. Blood pH and dissolved 02 and CO2 are measured independently in three high n.a. 115/100 micron fibers by means of fluorescent indicators embedded in specialized membranes at the probe tip. Excitation of the fluorescent dyes is performed with a pulsed Xenon bulb; fluorescence detection with silicon photodiodes; and separation of excitation and emission is accomplished with a small cube beamsplitter located between two quarter-pitch SELFOC lenses. One of these SELFOC lenses is part of the disposable connector leading to the probe, the other leads to the excitation source via 250/200 micron fibers. The disposable portion is designed to be disconnected and reconnected without loss of calibration, requiring connector throughput reproducibility of 0.25%. System drift is typically less than 2% per 24 hours, after a 30 minute warm-up. Numerous practical problems with the fibers, connectors, SELFOC lenses, background fluorescence, system calibration, accuracy and drift have been encountered and will be discussed.
Localization of subthalamic nucleus borders using macroelectrode local field potential recordings (2014)

Deep brain stimulation of the subthalamic nucleus (STN) is a highly effective treatment for motor symptoms of Parkinson's disease. However, precise intraoperative localization of STN remains a procedural challenge. In the present study, local field potentials (LFPs) were recorded from DBS macroelectrodes during trajectory to STN, in six patients. The frequency-vs-depth map of LFP activity was extracted and further analyzed within different sub-bands, to investigate whether LFP activity can be used for STN border identification. STN borders identified by LFPs were compared to border predictions by the neurosurgeon, based on microelectrode-derived, single-unit recordings (MER-SUA). The results demonstrate difference between MER-SUA and macroelectrode LFP recording with respect to the dorsal STN border of -1.00 ±0.84 mm and -0.42 ±1.07 mm in the beta and gamma frequency bands, respectively. For these sub-bands, RMS of these distances was found to be 1.26 mm and 1.06 mm, respectively. Analysis of other sub-bands did not allow for distinguishing the caudal border of STN. In conclusion, macroelectrode-derived LFP recordings may provide an alternative approach to MER-SUA, for localizing the target STN borders during DBS surgery.
Frequency and severity of vasomotor symptoms among peri- and postmenopausal women in the United States (2008)

The Menopause Epidemiology Study builds upon existing literature by providing data on daily frequency and severity of vasomotor symptoms. There are many women with frequent and severe vasomotor symptoms who may benefit from treatment.
Using marker-maps in marker-assisted selection (1995)

A method of using information on the location of markers to improve the efficiency of marker-assisted selection (MAS) in a population produced by a cross between two inbred lines is developed. The method is closer to mapping QTL than the selection index approaches to MAS described by previous authors. We use computer simulations to compare our method with phenotypic selection and two selection index approaches, simulations being performed on three genetic maps. The simulations show that whilst MAS can be considerably more efficient than phenotypic selection differences between the three MAS methods are slight. Which of the MAS methods is best depends on a number of factors: in particular the genetic map, the time scale under consideration ant the population size are of importance.
The Effects of Malonic Acid Derivatives and Acetic Acid Derivatives as Coadsorbents on the Photovoltaic Performance of Dye-Sensitized Solar Cells (2013)

The effects of malonic acid derivatives and acetic acid derivatives as coadsorbents on the photovoltaic performance of D908 dye-sensitized nanocrystalline TiO<sub >2</sub> solar cells were investigated. Each of phenylmalonic acid (PMA) and cyclopentylacetic acid (CPEAA) coadsorptions was revealed to improve both the photocurrent and the photovoltage of the solar cells. The improved photocurrent was probably due to the suppression of self-quenching of the excited electrons in the dyes by coadsorption of PMA or CPEAA on the TiO<sub >2</sub> that increased in the electron-injection yields from the dye to the TiO<sub >2</sub>. The improved photovoltage was probably due to suppression of recombination between the injected electrons and <svg style="vertical-align:-3.3907pt;width:19.862499px;" id="M1" height="15.8375" version="1.1" viewBox="0 0 19.862499 15.8375" width="19.862499" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"> <g transform="matrix(.017,-0,0,-.017,.062,11.55)"><path id="x49" d="M303 0h-265v28q62 5 76 19.5t14 77.5v400q0 63 -14 77.5t-76 19.5v28h265v-28q-62 -5 -76 -19.5t-14 -77.5v-400q0 -64 14 -78t76 -19v-28z" /></g> <g transform="matrix(.012,-0,0,-.012,5.862,15.637)"><path id="x33" d="M285 378v-2q65 -13 102 -54.5t37 -97.5q0 -57 -30.5 -104.5t-74 -75t-85.5 -42t-72 -14.5q-31 0 -59.5 11t-40.5 23q-19 18 -16 36q1 16 23 33q13 10 24 0q58 -51 124 -51q55 0 88 40t33 112q0 64 -39 96.5t-88 32.5q-29 0 -64 -11l-6 29q77 25 118 57.5t41 84.5

Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy indicated that PMA or CPEAA coadsorption on the TiO<sub >2</sub> surface increased the charge recombination resistance (R2) and decreased the diffusion resistance in the electrolyte (R3). These results suggest that the coadsorption of PMA or CPEAA on the TiO<sub >2</sub> may improve its photovoltage and photocurrent.
Observation of Phase Defects in Quasi-Two-Dimensional Bose-Einstein Condensates (2005)

We have observed phase defects in quasi-2D Bose-Einstein condensates close to the condensation temperature. Either a single or several equally spaced condensates are produced by selectively evaporating the sites of a 1D optical lattice. When several clouds are released from the lattice and allowed to overlap, dislocation lines in the interference patterns reveal nontrivial phase defects.
The Development of Adolescent Online Reading Literacy Assessments (2013)

By adopting the constructs of reading literacy and with the use of information and communication technology, the purpose of this study is to develop two adolescent online reading literacy assessments (ORLA) and examine the preliminary validity of ORLA. In addition, samples of online reading literacy performance are described. The design of ORLA is based on PISA electronic reading assessment framework and Leu et al. (2004)’s online reading comprehension definition. A total of 601 eighth graders from junior high schools and 618 tenth graders from senior high schools in Taiwan City participated in this study. This study uses Rasch IRT model to calibrate the item parameter and scale scores. The results indicated: the online reading literacy assessments had adequate difficulty level, reasonable validity evidences, and students’ online reading literacy performance contains ICT element which is different from offline reading; the gender effect exists in the online reading environment by grades.
Posttranscriptional control of the chemokine receptor CXCR4 expression in cancer cells (2014)

CXCR4 is a chemokine receptor that is overexpressed in certain cancer types and involved in migration toward distant organs. The molecular mechanisms underlying CXCR4 expression in invasive cancer, particularly posttranscriptional regulation, are poorly understood. Here, we find that CXCR4 harbors AU-rich elements (AREs) in the 3'-untranslated region (3'-UTR) that bind and respond to the RNA-binding proteins, tristetraprolin (TTP/ZFP36) and HuR (ELAVL1). Different experimental approaches, including RNA immunoprecipitation, 3'-UTR reporter, RNA shift and messenger RNA (mRNA) half-life studies confirmed functionality of the CXCR4 ARE. Wild-type TTP, but not the zinc finger mutant, C124R, was able to bind CXCR4 mRNA and ARE. In the invasive breast cancer phenotype, aberrant expression of CXCR4 is linked to both TTP deficiency and HuR overexpression. HuR silencing led to decreased CXCR4 mRNA stability and expression, and significant reduction in migration of the cells toward the CXCR4 ligand, CXCL12. Derepression of TTP using miR-29a inhibitor led to significant reduction in CXCR4 mRNA stability, expression and migration capability of the cells. The study shows that CXCR4 is regulated by ARE-dependent posttranscriptional mechanisms that involve TTP and HuR, and that aberration in this pathway helps cancer cells migrate toward the CXCR4 ligand. Targeting posttranscriptional control of CXCR4 expression may constitute an alternative approach in cancer therapy.
Ether lipids in cancer chemotherapy. (1990)

There is considerable evidence that certain ether lipids such as 1-0-octadecyl-2-0-methyl-rac-glycero-3-phosphocholine represent a new class of antineoplastic agents. These ether lipids have been shown to be cytotoxic for a wide variety of tumors. The site of action of ether lipids appears to be the cell membrane, where they inhibit the biosynthesis of phosphatidylcholine as well as the activity of protein kinase C. However, it remains uncertain that these effects represent the only mechanism for the cytotoxic action of these ether lipids. Further experiments to elucidate the molecular mechanisms of the cytotoxic action of these compounds are necessary. Clinical phase I pilot trials have been completed showing encouraging tumor response in a small number of patients treated. Some of these ether lipids are selectively cytotoxic to leukemic cells sparing of normal cells within a certain dose range. Thus, they are uniquely suitable for purging residual leukemic cells from remission marrow used for autologous bone marrow transplantation. A phase I/II study of autologous bone marrow transplantation in acute leukemia using bone marrow cells treated with ether lipids is in progress.
Morphology of standing oblique detonation waves (1991)

Proposals have been made to utilize stabilized oblique detonation waves (ODWs) for the propulsion of hypersonic air-breathing vehicles and hypervelocity mass launchers. There exists hypersonic flight regimes where premixing of fuel and air may be desirable or unavoidable due to finite chemical induction times. Consequently, it is essential to understand under what conditions detonations may occur in order to design supersonic combustors to either avoid or utilize them efficiently. A theoretical analysis is made of supersonic flow of a combustible gas mixture past a wedge or an inclined wall, which shows that, for approach velocities roughly 25% or more greater than the Chapman-Jouguet velocity of the reactant mixture, there exists a usefully wide range of turning angles within which ODWs may be attached or stabilized. For smaller wedge angles, either an incomplete ODW, shock-induced combustion, or no combustion at all may ensue. For larger wedge angles, the wave will detach and form an overdriven normal detonation or normal shock-induced combustion wave immediately upstream of the stagnation point, decaying off axis to either a single oblique Chapman-Jouguet wave, or bifurcating to form an oblique shock followed by a shock-induced deflagration.
The effects of chlorine content on the properties of titanium carbonitride thin film deposited by plasma assisted chemical vapor deposition (1991)

Wear resistant titanium carbonitride (TiCxNy) films were deposited onto high speed steel (AISI M2) by plasma assisted chemical vapor deposition using the gaseous mixture of TiCl4, CH4, N2, H2, and Ar. The effects of deposition conditions on the deposition rate and residual chlorine content were investigated. The influences of the chlorine on the crystallinity, microstructure, and mechanical properties of coatings were also studied. It was found that the residual chlorine content in the films greatly varied with the deposition conditions. Subsequently the crystallinity of the TiCxNy films deteriorated with the increase in the chlorine content. The microhardness and adhesion strength also decreased with the chlorine content. However, in spite of the low residual chlorine content, TiCxNy film deposited at high radio-frequency power shows inferior mechanical properties due to the micropore network structure.
