Hormonal responses to acute exercise, training and overtraining a review with emphasis on the horse (2007)

Overtraining is an imbalance between training and recovery leading to symptoms associated with a neuroendocrine dysbalance called the overtraining syndrome, a disease characterized by behavioral, emotional and physical symptoms similar with depression. Although the prevalence of overtraining is high in human and equine athletes, at present no sensitive and specific test is available to prevent or diagnose overtraining. Nowadays, it is believed that combination of different (hormonal) parameters appear to be the best indicators of overtraining. Therefore, this review provides a summary of previous literature examining the response of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis and the growth hormone-insulin-like growth factor-I (GH-IGF-I) axis to acute and chronic exercise as well as overtraining in humans and horses. The exercise induced hormonal responses seem to be equal for the equine as well as the human athlete, which makes comparisons possible. Repeated bouts of exercise are suggested to provide a way to detect subtle changes in hormonal responses in the individual athlete, which may make them an important tool in detecting early overtraining. This should be combined with corticotropin releasing hormone (CRH) stimulation tests and basal ACTH and GH pulsatility determination. Further research is needed to establish the correct training intensity and rest period for the exercise test in equines.
Short-Term and Long-Term Clinical Evaluation of a Non-Amphetaminic Anorexiant (Mazindol) in the Treatment of Obesity (1976)

The effectiveness and tolerance of a non-amphetaminic anorexiant drug has been evaluated in a short-term and in a long-term clinical trial in simple obesity and in refractory obesity. In the short-term 'crossover' trial, a more evident effectiveness and tolerance result when the anorexiant is given in a late phase of treatment. The association of an anorexiant drug with the hypocaloric diet was seen to be effective in the treatment of so-called refractory obesity. In the evaluation of the long-term treatment it is seen that weight loss is greater and remains so farr longer periods in patients receiving anorexiant, as compared to controls. This is related to a better maintenance of a restricted calorie regimen. Mazindol did not affect the improvement of glucose tolerance and insulin secretion which follows the weight reduction.
Nanosheet-Assembled ZnFe<sub>2</sub>O<sub>4</sub> Hollow Microspheres for High-Sensitive Acetone Sensor (2015)

Semiconductor oxides with hierarchically hollow architecture can provide significant advantages as sensing materials for gas sensors by facilitating the diffusion of target gases. Herein, we develop a facile template-free solvothermal strategy combined with the subsequent thermal treatment process toward the successful synthesis of novel ZnFe2O4 hollow flower-like microspheres. The images of electron microscopy unambiguously indicated that the ZnFe2O4 nanosheets with thickness of around 20 nm assembled hierarchically to form the unique flower-like architecture. As a proof-of-concept demonstration of the function, the as-prepared product was utilized as sensing material for gas sensor. Significantly, in virtue of the porous shell structure, hollow interior, and large surface area, ZnFe2O4 hierarchical microspheres exhibited high response, excellent cyclability, and long-term stability to acetone at the operating temperature of 215 °C.
Lageos orbital acquisition and initial assessment (1977)

Orbital elements for the satellite Lageos, launched on 4 May, 1976, were generated through use of Baker-Nunn camera data. Camera observations of the apogee kick motor provided the node and perigee, the inclination and the eccentricity, while the mean anomaly and the mean motion were determined from observations of the satellite. During the month following the launch, the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory and NASA laser tracking networks acquired about 110 satellite passes. The laser tracking system has been applied to a variety of orbital configurations, including elevation angles below 20 deg. Single-pass range residuals versus time were plotted for 741 laser observations of the satellite; the standard deviation of the total system noise was found to be 7 cm.

Cation ordering in Li containing garnets: synthesis and structural characterisation of the tetragonal system, Li7La3Sn2O12 (2009)

In this paper we report synthesis, conductivity and structural data for the novel tetragonal garnet-related system, Li7La3Sn2O12. Neutron diffraction data shows that the tetragonal distortion is related to ordering of Li in three sites within the structure to ensure no short Li-Li interactions. Consistent with the ordered nature of the Li ions, the conductivity is low, with a high activation energy. The results are relevant to related highly conducting cubic garnets, Li5+xLn3-xAxM2O12 (Ln=rare earth, A=alkaline earth; M=Nb, Ta, Sb), showing how a high Li content can be accommodated by Li ordering within the garnet structure, supporting previous suggestions by Cussen for the cubic garnets, who proposed the presence of local ordering/clustering of Li in tetrahedral and "octahedral" sites to limit unfavourable short Li-Li interactions.
Ferroelectric bismuth titanate films by hot wall metalorganic chemical vapor deposition (1993)

Ferroelectric bismuth titanate thin films were successfully deposited on Si, sapphire disks, and Pt/Ti/SiO2/Si substrates by hot wall metalorganic chemical vapor deposition. Triphenyl bismuth [Bi(C6H5)3] and titanium ethoxide [Ti(C2H5O)4] were used as the precursors. The deposition rates were in the range of 3.9–12.5 nm/min. The Bi/Ti ratio was easily controlled by precursor temperature, carrier gas flow rate, and deposition temperature. As-deposited films were pure Bi4Ti3O12 phase. The films were specular and showed uniform and fine grain size. Optical constants as a function of wavelength were calculated from the film transmission characteristics in the ultraviolet-visible-near infrared (UV-VIS-NIR) region. The 550 °C annealed film showed a spontaneous polarization of 26.5 μC/cm2 and a coercive field of 244.3 kV/cm.
Wideband, high-efficiency, circularly polarized slot elements (2003)

The authors discuss a number of wideband, high-efficiency slot elements that when appropriately fed are inherently circularly polarized. The elements have been derived by applying the principle of complementarity to a class of microstrip patch radiators that use perturbation techniques to provide circular polarization. These novel circularly polarized slot radiating elements have been incorporated into high-efficiency broadband arrays. Arrays ranging from 0.32 m (256 elements) to 0.7 m (1024 elements) have been built and tested at Ku-band. In all cases, efficiencies of greater than 50% have been achieved over an approximate 10% bandwidth. Demonstrated polarization purity is quite good, achieving better than 1.5 dB axial ratio over a 10% bandwidth.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>
La primera traducción de Hölderlin en lengua española (2019)

Las primeras traducciones en lengua española de Friedrich Hölderlin remiten, en el primer tercio del siglo XX, a tres nombres: Fernando Maristany, Manuel de Montoliu y Luis Cernuda, autores de versiones publicadas en 1919, 1921 y 1935, respectivamente. Hasta este momento, todos los estudios remitían a dicha cronología. No obstante, una traducción en lengua española, datada en 1910 y obra del chileno-alemán Guillermo Jünemann (1856-1938), adelanta en casi una década la llegada de la poesía de Hölderlin a la lengua española.

Epitaxial Growth, Nanofabrication, and Mass Transfer of InGaN Micro-LEDs for Displays (2018)

High efficiency III-nitride light-emitting diodes (LEDs) have drastically improved solid-state lighting. They are sold in stores and are gradually replacing compact fluorescent lightbulbs because they use less power and last longer. III-nitrides are on the cusp of entering another market. As the size of mobile electronics shrink over time, display technologies must also move to smaller form factors while maintaining high efficiencies. To achieve these goals, III-nitride LEDs are once again a candidate to overtake the state of the art. \t\tIncumbent technologies, such as liquid crystal displays (LCDs) and organic LED (OLED) displays, have major issues with power efficiency. A new technology, termed the micro-LED (uLED) display, is poised to enter the market in the next few years. A uLED display is made of inorganic LEDs (such as InGaN or AlGaInP) with dimensions typically below 40 um. uLED displays are promising due to higher luminance (brightness) than OLEDs, wider viewing angles, and significantly higher energy efficiencies. In this thesis, advances in InGaN uLED epitaxial design, nanofabrication, and mass transfer are discussed. Chapter 1 introduces the III-V families (arsenides/phosphides/nitrides) and provides insight into uLED design. While the majority of IngaN uLEDs are grown on sapphire or silicon, there are many reasons to explore homoepitaxial growth on freestanding GaN (particularly on semipolar planes). Chapter 2 presents a comparison of external quantum efficiency (EQE) amongst various sized uLEDs and shows that high EQEs (40-45%) are sustained as the size of the uLED drops. Reasons for efficiency loss are presented and designs aimed at improving uLED efficiencies are highlighted. Chapter 3 discusses the incorporation of tunnel junction contacts to uLEDs to enable new design space (n-type mirrors and multiple active region growths). Chapter 4 examines ideas to eliminate the drop of efficiency with decreasing uLED size that incorporates a current aperture and reduction of dry etch damage at the active region sidewall. Chapter 5 highlights a new mass transfer method that is applicable to uLEDs grown on freestanding GaN, sapphire, or other substrates. Most of the commercial mass transfer techniques today use laser lift-off (LLO), which is incompatible with uLEDs grown on freestanding GaN. The technique in Chapter 5 combines photoelectrochemical (PEC) etching and transfer printing. With this method, red, green, and blue InGaN uLEDs have been transferred from their growth substrates (sapphire and freestanding GaN) to the same transparent and/or flexible substrates such as glass or acrylic without damage to the uLED. This thesis reports the first demonstration of red, green, and blue uLEDs all with an InGaN active region that have been transferred to the same substrate.
Formulation and Evaluation of Glimepiride Solid Dispersion Tablets for Their Solubility Enhancement (2012)

Glimepiride (GMP) is poorly water soluble drug, so solubility is the main constraint for its oral bioavailability. The objective of the research project is to enhance of the solubility of Glimepiride by using solid dispersion technique. The polymers used were Poloxamer 188 and Poloxamer 407 and solid dispersions were prepared by kneading method. The solubility study was carried out to study the effect of polymers on solubility of Glimepiride. The prepared solid dispersions were characterized by In-vitro solubility Study, %Drug content; Fourier transforms spectroscopy (FTIR), In vitro drug dissolution to identify the physicochemical interaction between drug and excipients. The dissolution studies of solid dispersion were performed by using USP II apparatus. The solid dispersion prepared with Poloxamer 188 showed better drug release as compared to solid dispersion prepared with Poloxamer 407. The drug release profile of F5 batch with Poloxamer 188 was 98.20±0.19 in 60 min. and drug release profile of F11 batch with Poloxamer 407 was 97.39±0.18 in 60 min. in pH 7.4. The results of dissolution studies and stability study the kneading method prepared solid dispersion by using Poloxamer 188 (Batch F5) was selected for tablet formulation. Tablet formulations were prepared by direct compression technique and developed tablet formulations were evaluated for various pharmaceutical characteristics viz. hardness, % friability, weight variation, drug content, in-vitro dissolution profiles. Thus Results showed that the solid dispersion technique by using poloxamer successfully used for enhancing the solubility of Glimepiride.

Heat shock- and alkaline pH-induced proteins of Campylobacter jejuni: characterization and immunological properties (1994)

The protein response to physiological stress was characterized in Campylobacter jejuni 81176 after exposure to heat and pH shock and following periods of recovery. Immunoreactivities of major stress-related proteins were determined with anti-Campylobacter immune rabbit serum and intestinal lavage fluid. Distinct proteins with molecular masses ranging from 10 to 120 kDa were induced and/or released by selective heat or pH treatments. The most notable responses were those of two proteins with apparent molecular masses of 45 and 64 kDa that were induced and two other proteins of 10 and 12 kDa that were released by selective heat shock, alkaline pH treatment, or both. On the basis of N-terminal sequence analysis and immunological cross-reactivity data, the 64- and 10-kDa proteins were the C. jejuni homologs of Escherichia coli GroEL and GroES proteins, respectively. Enhanced chemiluminescence Western blotting (immunoblotting) revealed that all four proteins were among the major protein antigens recognized by anti-Campylobacter rabbit serum immunoglobulin G (IgG) and immune rabbit intestinal lavage IgA (secretory IgA). The results of this investigation suggest that the C. jejuni 10-, 12-, 45-, and 64-kDa proteins and a number of minor stress-related proteins deserve further evaluation of their respective roles in Campylobacter pathogenesis and immunity.
Surface-Enhanced Raman Scattering Imaging of a Single Molecule on Urchin-like Silver Nanowires (2011)

Urchin-like silver nanowires are prepared by reacting AgNO(3)(aq) with copper metal in the presence of cetyltrimethylammonium chloride and HNO(3)(aq) on a screen-printed carbon electrode at room temperature. The diameters of the nanowires are about 100 nm, and their lengths are up to 10 μm. Using Raman spectroscopy, the detection limit of Rhodamine 6G (R6G) on the urchin-like silver nanowire substrate can be as low as 10(-16) M, while the analytical enhancement factor is about 10(13). Raman mapping images confirm that a single R6G molecule on the substrate can be detected.
Inhibition of the p53-MDM2 interaction: targeting a protein-protein interface. (2004)

MDM2 inhibits p53 transcriptional activity, favors its nuclear export, and stimulates its degradation. Inhibition of the p53-MDM2 interaction with synthetic molecules should therefore lead to both the nuclear accumulation and the activation of p53 followed by the death of the tumor cells from apoptosis. Inhibitors of the p53-MDM2 interaction might be attractive new anticancer agents that could be used to activate wild-type p53 in tumors. This review describes our current knowledge on the properties of the existing p53-MDM2 antagonists. Because the discovery of modulators of protein-protein interactions is an emerging field in drug discovery, the strategy used for designing inhibitors of the p53-MDM2 interaction could serve as an example for other protein interfaces.
VMGuard: An Integrity Monitoring System for Management Virtual Machines (2010)

A cloud computing provider can dynamically allocate virtual machines (VM) based on the needs of the customers, while maintaining the privileged access to the Management Virtual Machine that directly manages the hardware and supports the guest VMs. The customers must trust the cloud providers to protect the confidentiality and integrity of their applications and data. However, as the VMs from different customers are running on the same host, an attack to the management virtual machine will easily lead to the compromise of the guest VMs. Therefore, it is critical for a cloud computing system to ensure the trustworthiness of management VMs. To this end, we propose VMGuard, an integrity monitoring and detecting system for management virtual machines in a distributed environment. VMGuard utilizes a special VM, Guard Domain, which runs on each physical node to monitor the co-resident management VMs. The integrity measurements collected by the Guard Domains are sent to the VMGuard server for safe store and independent analysis. The experimental evaluation of a Xen-based prototype shows that VMGuard can quickly detect the root kit attacks while the performance overhead is low.
Historical review of OCR research and development (1992)

Research and development of OCR systems are considered from a historical point of view. The historical development of commercial systems is included. Both template matching and structure analysis approaches to R&D are considered. It is noted that the two approaches are coming closer and tending to merge. Commercial products are divided into three generations, for each of which some representative OCR systems are chosen and described in some detail. Some comments are made on recent techniques applied to OCR, such as expert systems and neural networks, and some open problems are indicated. The authors' views and hopes regarding future trends are presented.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>

Unsupervised context learning in natural language processing (2002)

By generalizing over contextual information, excellent results were obtained in connectionist language processing. Normally, these contexts are added manually to the system or deducted by using a supervised learning algorithm. A recurrent self-organizing model, capable of deriving the context from scratch, is presented. Syntactic features and structures are learned in a unsupervised way from flat sentences. By generalizing over the words as well as the sentences, simple semantics can be derived. The model forms a two-layer extension of the Kohonen feature map, provided with additional recurrent fibers which are responsible for the automatic determination of word contexts, thus resulting in an unsupervised recurrent learning algorithm. After a formal description of the model, the experimental results are presented.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>
Housing Unaffordability at the Statistical Local Area Level: New Estimates Using Spatial Microsimulation (2004)

This paper examines housing affordability estimates at the SLA level and assesses spatial patterns of households experiencing housing stress. The study covers all SLAs in New South Wales, Queensland, Victoria and the ACT, and there is a particular focus on the spatial distribution of housing unaffordability across the Brisbane, Canberra, Melbourne and Sydney Statistical Divisions. The housing affordability estimates are output from a project to develop and apply spatial microsimulation techniques to generate detailed synthetic small-area data for use as a decision support tool by state and territory governments. As well as reviewing the results and implications of the housing unaffordability estimates, this paper provides a general overview of the scope of the linkage project, and the methodological approaches taken in building the estimates.
Biexponential parameterization of diffusion and T<sub>2</sub> relaxation decay curves in a rat muscle edema model: Decay curve components and water compartments (2005)

Quantitative T2 relaxation and diffusion imaging studies of a rat muscle edema model were performed in order to determine the effects of intra- and extracellular water compartmentation on the respective decay curves. The right hind paw of rats was injected with a carrageenan solution to generate edematous muscle. A Carr-Purcell-Meiboom-Gill (CPMG) imaging sequence was used to acquire T2 relaxation decay curves from both paws. A line scan diffusion imaging (LSDI) sequence was then used to acquire diffusion decay curves from the same paws over a wide b-factor range. Measurements were made from both edematous muscle (EM) and control muscle (CM). The EM and CM T2 relaxation decay curves were best fit with biexponential functions. The fraction of the fast T2 component dropped dramatically from approximately 0.95 in CM to 0.45 in EM, consistent with a water compartmentation model in which the fast and slow T2 components reflect intra- and extracellular water, respectively. Both CM and EM diffusion decay curves required biexponential fitting functions, and the diffusion coefficients of the fast and slow components were substantially larger in EM than CM. The fraction of the fast diffusion component, however, was not radically altered between CM and EM conditions (0.84 versus 0.89 for CM versus EM). Assuming a model in which intra- and extracellular water compartments are responsible for the fast and slow T2-decay components and for the slow and fast diffusion decay components, respectively, leads to fractional sizes of the diffusion components that are not supported by experiment. We conclude that intra- and extracellular water compartmentation is a reasonable interpretation for the two T2-decay components in both CM and EM but that other factors, such as restricted diffusion and/or alternate forms of water compartmentation like surface versus volume water, most probably have profound influences on the precise shapes of the diffusion decay curves, a complete understanding of which will require significant theoretical work.
Moving target detection and imaging using an X band along-track monopulse SAR (2002)

Moving target detection and imaging results for an X band spotlight synthetic aperture radar (SAR) system that utilizes an along-track monopulse configuration for its data collection is presented. The theoretical foundation of the processing that is used on these data is based on our earlier work in which a two-dimensional signal subspace processing (adaptive filtering) method was used to calibrate the monostatic and bistatic radars of the monopulse SAR system. The blind calibration of the two channels enables the user to null the stationary scene, and detect the moving targets. Next, a measure that we call SAR ambiguity function is used to estimate the relative speed of a detected moving target. The resultant estimate is then used to image the moving target.
