Some results on broad-band microstrip antenna with low cross polar and high gain (1991)

Stacked square microstrip broadband antennas with low cross polarization and high gain are studied. The low cross polarization is mainly due to the location of excitation feeds on the diagonals of the square lower patch. These advantages are explained in comparison with the usual case in which the excitation is positioned along the median. The evolution of one of the principal antenna parameters is studied by the spectral domain approach. A stacked antenna is realized on a low-loss substrate, and experimental results are compared with theory. The good performance obtained, even for linear polarization, shows that this antenna can be used in many applications in telecommunications.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>
Effects of exendin-4, a glucagon like peptide-1 receptor agonist, on neutrophil count and inflammatory cytokines in a rat model of endotoxemia (2015)

In this LPS model of acute early phase inflammation, treatment with exendin-4 decreased pro-inflammatory cytokine concentrations without changing IL-10 blood levels and improved neutropenia. Following LPS injection, rats developed a tendency toward hypoglycemia that improved with exendin-4. Overall our data suggest that exogenous exendin-4 mediates anti-inflammatory effects early in this rat model of endotoxin-induced inflammation.

Concepts and prototypes for flexible moulds for production of double curved elements (2015)

Flexible moulds for production of double curved elements could offer a solution for challenges in realizing freeform architectural design which tends to be costly and time consuming. However developments are still ongoing and promising methods that result in highly accurate elements still remain to be proven. When surfaces are deformed into a specific shape inaccuracies occur easily due to bucking or wrinkling of the surfaces. In this paper a number of concepts are presented which can be used to prevent these effects. The concepts are based on a fundamental relationship between change of Gaussian curvature of surfaces and in-plain strain. Various prototypes that have been made using these concepts will be presented.
Quantification of Guided Regeneration of Weight-Bearing Bones (2003)

An accurate histological evaluation system was established to improve and quantify the compatibility of membranes to provide bone regeneration in a large mid-diaphyseal bone defect, complementing radiographic evaluation. New bone formation obtained in critical segmental defects covered with tubular ethyl cellulose membranes was examined. Computerized radiography showed gradual new bone formation, which slows after 6 weeks. In a parallel histomorphological assessment, a characteristic process of new bone formation occurs inside the confined space and surrounding tissues. Histological findings are summarized according to the new scoring system, which clarifies the mechanism and provides complementary quantification of guided bone regeneration.

Objective: It is was suggested that, in resistant hypertension, the presence of particularly pronounced microvascular alterations may contribute to explain the relative lack of response to treatment. Similarly, in diabetic patients, the persistence of an altered microvasciular structure, despite the administration of multiple drug combination treatment, might partly explain the difficulty to reach target blood pressure values, especially for systolic blood pressure.Design and method: For this reason, we investigated a population of 94 treated essential hypertensive patients. Secondary forms of hypertension were excluded according to standard clinical evalutions and biochemical or instrumental assessment, and in all patients a 24-hour blood pressure monitoring was performed in order to exclude a white coat effect. In all patients, we evaluated small resistance arteries morphology by a wire micromyographic approach (Mulvany's technique). A small amount of subcutaneous tissue was obtained by local biopsy or during election surgery and subcutaneous small resistance arteries were dissected and mounted on a myograph; the media to lumen ratio (M/L) was then measured. We subdived our patents according to the presence or not of resistant hypertension (clinic blood pressure values above 140/90 mm Hg despite administration of three antihypertensive agent including a diuretic and 24-hour blood pressure values > 130/80 mm Hg). Sixteen patients had true resistant hypertension, and were compared with the remaining 78 patients with non-resistant hypertension. Results: Results are summarized in the Table (**p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001 vs. non resistant hypertensive patients). The two groups were also different in terms of mean age (57 ± 12 vs. 67 ± 7 years, p = 0.016 and pulse pressure/stroke volume, a rough index of large artery distensibility: 0.63 ± 0.31 vs. 0.90 ± 0.33, p = 0.02). Conclusions: Our data suggest that hypertensive patients with true resistant hypertension have greater microvascular structural alterations compared with non-resistant hypertensive patients. This could explain, at least in part, the resistance to pharmacological treatment and the high cardiovascular risk observed in these patients.
Risk factors for multidrug resistant tuberculosis in Europe: a systematic review (2005)

Previous treatment was the strongest determinant of MDR-TB in Europe. Detailed study of the reasons for inadequate treatment could improve control strategies. The risk of MDR-TB in foreign born people needs to be re-evaluated, taking into account any previous treatment.
Synovial fluid lactic acid in septic and nonseptic arthritis (1983)

We determined lactic acid levels by the lactic dehydrogenase method in synovial fluid of 41 patients with various rheumatic diseases, to test the concept that significantly elevated values were diagnostic of septic arthritis. Nine patients had septic arthritis, 15 rheumatoid arthritis (RA), and the remainder miscellaneous conditions. In another 9 patients with different rheumatic diseases, including 1 with septic arthritis, synovial fluid lactic acid was determined by both the lactic dehydrogenase and gas-liquid chromatography methods. There was a wide scatter of values among patients with septic and nonseptic inflammatory arthritis, and much overlap occurred. We could not differentiate septic arthritis from RA on the basis of synovial fluid lactic acid levels. Results were similar with both procedures for determining lactic acid levels.
Comprehensive approach to CT-guided procedures with a hand-held guidance device. (1990)

A technically successful biopsy or drainage procedure performed with computed tomographic (CT) guidance depends on two essential elements: determination of the correct entry point on the patient and placement of the biopsy needle or trocar drainage catheter along a predetermined track. A hand-held guidance device was used in conjunction with the lighting system on the CT scanner and measurements obtained from CT images to achieve this goal in 40 patients. The approach minimized trauma to the patient and decreased the time required for CT.
Identification of two hyaluronan-binding domains in the hyaluronan receptor RHAMM. (1993)

We have identified two discrete hyaluronan- (HA) binding domains in the HA receptor RHAMM (Receptor for HA-Mediated Motility) that mediates the locomotion of H-ras transformed fibroblasts. A complete RHAMM cDNA (1.43 kilobases (kb)) was expressed as a fusion protein with pGEX-2T in Escherichia coli HB101 and was shown to bind specifically to both biotin-labeled HA in a transblot assay and to HA-Sepharose. The complete cDNA was truncated with restriction endonucleases from the 3' end resulting in 1.30-, 1.02-, 0.71-, and 0.41-kb cDNAs which were then expressed in HB101. Only the fusion peptide expressed from the complete cDNA and the 1.30-kb cDNA bound to HA indicating that the region located between 1.02-1.30 kb of RHAMM cDNA was critical for recognition of this glycosaminoglycan. Deletion of 114 bases in this region virtually eliminated HA binding activity thus defining the major glycosaminoglycan binding region to amino acids 400-434 located near the carboxyl terminus of RHAMM. Two domains containing clusters of basic amino acids were identified within this region. Synthetic peptides mimicking these two domains both inhibited HA binding to the complete 1.43-kb expressed glutathione s-transferase-RHAMM fusion protein, and also directly bound to HA-Sepharose. Random peptides and peptides mimicking other regions in RHAMM did not inhibit HA-RHAMM interactions and bound weakly to HA-Sepharose. Oligonucleotides encoding either of these two peptides were linked to the NH2-terminal 0.71 kb of RHAMM which encoded a peptide that did not contain HA binding activity. Fusion proteins containing either of these recombinant peptides acquired HA binding activity as assessed with a transblot assay. Thus, we have identified two domains within RHAMM that are responsible for its HA binding activity.
Application of 3D Reservoir Modeling on Zao 21 Oil Block of Zilaitun Oil Field (2016)

Reservoir modeling is an effective technique that assists in reservoir management as decisions concerning development and depletion of hydrocarbon reserves must be taken considering the uncertainties of the formation involved. The paper focuses on the use of Petrel Software to construct a 3D-dimensional reservoir model that characterizes and evaluate Zao 21 block reservoir located in Dagang Oil field zilaitun area in Hebei Province of China which has an oil bearing area of 0.9 km2. The approach is based on integration of data from seismic, well logs of 41 wells obtained from geology, geophysics, petrophysics, to characterize and provide an accurate description of the internal architecture and visualization of reservoir heterogeneity. These data are used to build the lithofacies, porosity, permeability and oil saturation model which are the parameters that describe the reservoir and provide information on effective evaluation of the need to develop the potential of the remaining oil in the reservoir. The lithological facies architecture is simulated using Sequential Indicator Simulation to guide the distribution of petro-physical properties of the reservoir since they are intimately related. In addition, the petro-physical parameters are simulated using Sequential Gaussian Simulation. The reservoir structural model shows system of different oriented faults which divided the model into two segments, the major and minor segments. Statistical analysis of the Porosity model, permeability model for Zao 21 block showed that porosity is mainly concentrated between 12.5% to 22.5% with an average porosity of 15.5%; and permeability mainly between 40 mD~ 110 mD, with a mean permeability of 81 mD; overall good reservoir properties. The estimation of these values was used to quantify the geological reserve of Zao 21 reservoir block oil deposit. This study has shown the effectiveness of 3D reservoir modeling technology as a tool for adequate understanding of the spatial distribution of petro-physical properties and in addition framework for future performance and production behavior of Zao 21 block reservoir. The reservoir model reveals that the reservoir properties of the north-eastern part of the oil field are very promising and wells should be drilled to investigate and exploit the oil.
Extreme-ultraviolet spectral purity and magnetic ion debris mitigation by use of low-density tin targets (2006)

We investigate the extreme-ultraviolet (EUV) emission from targets that contain tin as an impurity and the advantages of using these targets for ion debris mitigation by use of a magnetic field. The EUV spectral features were characterized by a transmission grating spectrograph. The in-band EUV emission energy was measured with a calorimeter of absolute calibration. The ion flux coming from the plume was measured with a Faraday cup. Our studies indicate that 0.5% Sn density is necessary to obtain a conversion efficiency very close to that of full-density Sn. The use of Sn-doped low-Z targets provides a narrower unresolved transition array and facilitates better control of energetic ions in the presence of a moderate magnetic field of 0.64 T.
Adding multimedia to the semantic web: building an MPEG-7 ontology (2001)

For the past two years the Moving Pictures Expert Group (MPEG), a working group of ISO/IEC, have been developing MPEG-7 [1], the &quot;Multimedia Content Description Interface&quot;, a standard for describing multimedia content. The goal of this standard is to develop a rich set of standardized tools to enable both humans and machines to generate and understand audiovisual descriptions which can be used to enable fast efficient retrieval from digital archives (pull applications) as well as filtering of streamed audiovisual broadcasts on the Internet (push applications). MPEG-7 is intended to describe audiovisual information regardless of storage, coding, display, transmission, medium, or technology. It will address a wide variety of media types including: still pictures, graphics, 3D models, audio, speech, video, and combinations of these (e.g., multimedia presentations). MPEG-7 is due for completion in October 2001. At this stage MPEG-7 definitions (description schemes and descriptors) are expressed solely in XML Schema [2-4]. XML Schema has been ideal for expressing the syntax, structural, cardinality and datatyping constraints required by MPEG-7. However it has become increasingly clear that in order to make MPEG-7 accessible, re-usable and interoperable with other domains then the semantics of the MPEG-7 metadata terms also need to be expressed in an ontology using a machine-understandable language. This paper describes the trials and tribulations of building such an ontology represented in RDF Schema [5] and demonstrates how this ontology can be exploited and reused by other communities on the semantic web (such as TV-Anytime [6], MPEG-21 [7], NewsML [8], museum, educational and geospatial domains) to enable the inclusion and exchange of multimedia content through a common understanding of the associated MPEG-7 multimedia content descriptions.
A COMPUTER METHOD OF SEQUENCING OPERATIONS FOR ASSEMBLY LINES (1965)

SUMMARY COMSOAL, an acronym for a computer Method of Sequencing Operations for Assembly Lines, is a method of balancing large complex machine-paced assembly lines. Basically, by means of a high-speed digital computer, sampled data is used for Monte-Carlo simulation of the proposed designs. COMSOAL originated in an industrial operations research project and is in use at some factories of the Chrysler Corporation in an early form. The latest version, described here, awaits implementation in the factory situation. First, the problem is analyzed in simple form and two solutions are offered, with several results, arising from applications to situations with up to 1000 tasks. The analysis is then extended and solutions to the complex form, which includes eight typical additional constraints, mixed production and stochastic considerations, are presented

Effect of four wetland plants on nutrient removal and growth of eutrophic algae (2016)

We studied the removal of chlorophyll-a and eutrophic alga Ankistrodesmus acicularis by mixed and monoculture constructed wetlands of four common wetland macrophytes, Echinodorus berteroi, Hydrocotyle sibthorpioides, Vallisneria natans and Hydrilla verticillata. We also tested the effects of the macrophyte culture solution on the growth of three common eutrophic algae: Chlorella pyrenoidosa, Scnedesmus obliquus and Anabaena flosaquae. The wetlands had significant effect on the removal of chlorophyll-a and A. acicularis. ANOVA results indicated a significant difference existed among different wetlands (P &lt; 0.01). There was generally no significant difference between the mixed and the monoculture wetlands, while the mixed wetlands generally showed significant difference between them. Results also indicated that there were significant differences in the effect on the growth of three algae among the culture solutions of different wetlands (p &lt; 0.01). Almost all mixed culture solutions had a significant difference from their monocultures. Similarly, the monoculture treatments generally showed significant differences from their corresponding mixed treatments. However, combinations of different macrophytes generally cannot increase the effect intensity. The results indicated that combinations of macrophytes can produce different effects on alga growth from their monocultures and from their combinations with other macrophytes. Different algae showed different levels of susceptibility to the plant culture solution, and a same culture solution had different effects on different algae, including inhibiting, promoting, or neutral effects.

Arabinose and xylose fermentation by recombinant Saccharomyces cerevisiae expressing a fungal pentose utilization pathway (2009)

Pentose fermenting recombinant S. cerevisiae strains were obtained by the expression of a pentose utilization pathway of entirely fungal origin. During anaerobic fermentation the strain produced biomass and ethanol. L-arabitol yield was 0.48 g per gram of consumed pentose sugar, which is considerably less than previously reported for D-xylose reductase expressing strains co-fermenting L-arabinose and D-xylose, and the xylitol yield was 0.07 g per gram of consumed pentose sugar.
