The Application of Theme-Rheme Theory in English Composition Teaching (2010)

Cohesion and coherence of a text is one of the major topics in the research of discourses. The Theme-Rheme Theory is an important functional system to do research on the cohesion and coherence of discourse. Theme is the origin of discourse; rheme which centers on the topic is the narration, description, and explanation of theme and often the core content of discourse. By describing this theory and discourse analysis of college English composition, this article mainly argues the application of this theory in composition teaching so as to help learners improve their writing. Key words: cohesion, coherence, the Theme-Rheme Theory Resume： La theorie de theme-rheme est un systeme fonctionnel etudiant l'articulation et l'enchainement d'un texte.

Slot collision probability analysis of STDMA VHF data link (2008)

Slot reservation selection algorithm is a key problem of the VHF data link communication which is based on self-organized TDMA (STDMA) protocol. In this paper, the performance of the algorithm was analyzed with probability analysis method. By analyzing, the effect of the number of slots in a frame, report rate of a station and adjustment factor of candidate slot window on the slot collision probability are presented. In the end of the paper, a new algorithm named RASO-TDMA which reduces the slot collision probability has been proposed.
The ferreed (1964)

The advantages of the ferreed as a switching network crosspoint led to an early decision to adopt it for use in electronic switching systems. The prospect of large-scale use of the device gave impetus to a search for an economical, easily fabricated component. This paper describes the considerations which influenced the choices of a suitable magnetic material, magnetic circuit geometry, and coil design that were made for the production model.
Reducing the risk of user error with infusion pumps. (2000)

Many of the adverse reports received by the Medical Devices Agency concern infusion pumps. Clinical governance aims to ensure that both employers and employees reduce the hazards related to device use. Full training is required to help staff avoid user errors.
Idiosyncratic adverse reactions to intramuscular botulinum toxin type a injection (1997)

Three cases of adverse reactions to repeated intramuscular botulinum toxin A (BTA) injections are described: a persistent rash on the face at the site of injection, a localized anaphylactic reaction following BTA injection into one leg, and bilateral ptosis repeatedly following BTA injection into neck muscles. The mechanisms for these idiosyncratic adverse responses are not known.
Oligomeric structure of virion-associated and soluble forms of the simian immunodeficiency virus envelope protein in the prefusion activated conformation (2001)

The envelope proteins (env) of simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV) and HIV type 1 assemble to form noncovalently associated oligomers in the endoplasmic reticulum. After cleavage in a Golgi compartment, oligomeric env complexes are transported to the surface of infected cells, where incorporation into budding virions can occur. Difficulties in obtaining adequate quantities of virions retaining env, as well as the unstable nature and hydrophobicity of the oligomer, may account for the absence of previous biophysical studies to determine the oligomeric valency of membrane-associated env. The aim of this study was to evaluate the oligomeric state of SIV env before membrane-fusion activation. Virion-associated env, obtained by crosslinking and detergent extraction, and non-crosslinked secreted env ectodomain (recombinant gp140) were purified by lentil-lectin chromatography and gel filtration as single predominant species. Sedimentation equilibrium-derived mass values for both forms of SIV env were close to those predicted for trimeric assemblies. Determination of the mass of individual molecules by scanning transmission electron microscopy confirmed that SIV virion-associated env and gp140 formed largely homogeneous populations of trimers. Furthermore, a triangular or tri-lobed morphology was clearly visualized in a subset of the trimers.

Intrinsic cell-penetrating activity propels Omomyc from proof of concept to viable anti-MYC therapy (2019)

Inhibiting MYC has long been considered unfeasible, although its key role in human cancers makes it a desirable target for therapeutic intervention. One reason for its perceived undruggability was the fear of catastrophic side effects in normal tissues. However, we previously designed a dominant-negative form of MYC called Omomyc and used its conditional transgenic expression to inhibit MYC function both in vitro and in vivo. MYC inhibition by Omomyc exerted a potent therapeutic impact in various mouse models of cancer, causing only mild, well-tolerated, and reversible side effects. Nevertheless, Omomyc has been so far considered only a proof of principle. In contrast with that preconceived notion, here, we show that the purified Omomyc mini-protein itself spontaneously penetrates into cancer cells and effectively interferes with MYC transcriptional activity therein. Efficacy of the Omomyc mini-protein in various experimental models of non-small cell lung cancer harboring different oncogenic mutation profiles establishes its therapeutic potential after both direct tissue delivery and systemic administration, providing evidence that the Omomyc mini-protein is an effective MYC inhibitor worthy of clinical development.
5-HT 1A receptors are reduced in temporal lobe epilepsy after partial-volume correction. (2005)

Our study shows that in TLE patients, reductions of 5-HT 1A receptor binding in mesial temporal structures and insula are still significant after PVC. In contrast, partial-volume effects may be an important contributor to 5-HT 1A receptor-binding reductions in lateral temporal lobe. Reduction of 5-HT 1A receptors in the ipsilateral hippocampus may contribute to depressive symptoms in TLE patients.
Nonhuman Primate Models for Islet Transplantation in Type 1 Diabetes Research (2004)

Insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus is an autoimmune disease that causes a progressive destruction of the pancreatic beta cells. As a result, the patient requires exogenous insulin to maintain normal blood glucose levels. Both the pancreas and the islets of Langerhans have been transplanted successfully in humans and in animal models, resulting in full normalization of glucose homeostasis. However, insulin independence, transient or persistent, was documented in only a small fraction of cases until recently. The chronic immunosuppression required to avoid immunological rejection appears to be toxic to the islets and adds the risk of lymphoproliferative disease reported earlier. For islet transplantation to become the method of choice, it is essential first to identify islet-friendly immunosuppressive regimens and/or to develop methods that induce donor-specific tolerance and improve islet isolation and transplantation protocols. Indeed, researchers have already successfully allografted islets in the presence of nonsteroidal immunosuppression in a process known as the Edmonton protocol. An alternative method, gene therapy, could replace these other methods and better meet the insulin requirement of an individual without requiring pancreatic or islet transplantation. This alternative, however, requires animal models to develop and test clinical protocols and to demonstrate the feasibility of preclinical trials. Nonhuman primates are ideally suited to achieve these goals. The efforts toward developing a nonhuman primate diabetic model with demonstrable insulin dependence are discussed and include pancreatic and islet transplant trials to reverse the diabetic state and achieve insulin independence. Also described are the various protocols that have been tested in primates to circumvent immunosuppression by using tolerance induction strategies in lieu of immunosuppression, thus exploring the field of donor-specific tolerance that extends beyond islet transplantation.
Layer-by-Layer Deposition of Thermoresponsive Microgel Thin Films (2003)

We report investigations of the assembly of thermoresponsive, 4-acrylamidofluorescein-modified (indicated by an asterisk) poly(N-isopropylacrylamide-co-acrylic acid) (pNIPAm-co-AAc*) microgel thin films via a traditional alternate layer deposition protocol. In this work, pNIPAm-co-AAc* microgels have been synthesized and incorporated into thin films by alternatively exposing glass slides functionalized with 3-aminopropyltrimethoxysilane to pNIPAm-co-AAc* microgels, which act as polyanions, and poly(allylamine hydrochloride), which acts as a polycation. Using this method, pNIPAm-co-AAc* microgel thin films have been constructed as confirmed by fluorescence microscopy. Investigations were also conducted on the effect of the microgel deposition temperature on the film morphology and thermoresponsivity. In addition, the thermoresponsivities of the pNIPAm-co-AAc* microgel thin films were studied with respect to the microgel layer number, microgel deposition conditions, and pH. As expected from the solution behavior of the microgels, the films exhibited enhanced thermoresponsivity and hindered deswelling at pH values below and above the pKa of the microgel acrylic acid (AAc) groups, respectively. This result is expected due to charge repulsion of the AAc groups in the microgel network, which directly impacts the thermal deswelling of the hydrogel.
Shaping methods for low-density lattice codes (2009)

Low density lattice codes (LDLC) are recently-proposed lattice codes that can be decoded efficiently and approach the capacity of the additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) channel. In LDLC a codeword x is generated directly at the n-dimensional Euclidean space as a linear transformation of a corresponding integer message vector b, i.e., x = Gb, where H = G <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">-1</sup> is restricted to be sparse. In order to design practical lattice codes, the infinite lattice should be combined with a shaping algorithm, that maps information bits to lattice points and ensures that the power of the lattice codewords is properly constrained. This work proposes several efficient and practical shaping algorithms for LDLC.
An Interleaved LLC Resonant Converter Operating at Constant Switching Frequency (2013)

The interleaving technique is necessary for LLC resonant converters to achieve high power level. The advantages include expanded power capacity, lower output ripple current, and higher light-load efficiency by using phase shedding. However, conventional frequency-controlled LLC converters will lose regulation in individual phases if all the phases are operating at the same switching frequency, causing load sharing problem. Existing load sharing solutions for interleaved LLC converters all have limitations. In this paper, a switch-controlled capacitor (SCC) modulated LLC converter (SCC-LLC) is presented to solve the load-sharing problem. With constant switching frequency, interleaving and phase shedding can be achieved. A 600-W, two-phase interleaved constant frequency SCC-LLC prototype is built to verify the feasibility and demonstrate the advantages.
Advantages of the Pre-Immobilization of Enzymes on Porous Supports for Their Entrapment in Sol−Gels (2005)

In this work, we have compared the entrapment of free or previously immobilized glucose oxidase using a sol-gel technique. The preimmobilization was carried out on Sepabeads (a porous support) derivatized with glutaraldehyde as the functional group. The prior immobilization of the enzyme permitted to maintain the enzyme activity intact after the formation of the sol-gel. In fact, only 10% of the enzyme activity was lost whereas the soluble enzyme lost 60% of its initial activity. Additionally, enzyme leakage from the sol-gel matrix was avoided, which was relatively high when entrapping the soluble enzyme (39% of the enzyme activity was released after 16 h of incubation in a buffered solution). Moreover, the immobilized enzyme, inside the porous support, cannot be in contact with the sol-gel, and, therefore, it maintained the stability achieved by means of the multipoint covalent attachment on the Sepabeads support.
Osteoporotic hip fractures in Singapore--costs and patient's outcome. (2002)

The mortality rates and functional outcome are not very different from published studies in the West. More of our patients returned to their own homes after hospitalisation. Early surgery, close involvement of the medical social worker and intensive physiotherapy or provision of outpatient therapy facilities may help cut cost of treatment.

Electrocatalytic Reduction of 1,1,2-Trichloro-1,2,2-trifluoroethane (CFC-113) at Silver Cathodes in Organic and Organic–Aqueous Solvents (2013)

Cyclic voltammetry and controlled-potential (bulk) electrolysis have been utilized to probe the electrocatalytic activity of silver cathodes for the reduction of CFC-113 in acetonitrile, dimethylformamide, and propylene carbonate as well as 50:50 mixtures of these solvents with water, each system containing 0.050 M tetramethylammonium tetrafluoroborate. Cyclic voltammograms for reduction of CFC-113 at silver show two irreversible cathodic peaks attributable to stepwise production of 1-chloro-1,2,2-trifluoroethene (CFC-1113) and 1,2,2-trifluoroethene (HFC-1123). In organic–aqueous solvents, these two cathodic peaks appear at significantly less negative potentials than those seen with pure organic solvents. Electrolyses of CFC-113 in aprotic media at a silver gauze electrode held at potentials corresponding to each of the observed cathodic peaks afford CFC-1113 (85–91% yield) in a two-electron process and HFC-1123 (82–93% yield) in an overall four-electron process, respectively. Upon addition of water to DMF and ACN, CFC-1113 is formed in essentially quantitative yield for electrolyses at potentials corresponding to the first cathodic peak; at potentials corresponding to the second cathodic peak, CFC-1113 (27–29%) and HFC-1123 (64–72%) are major products.

Approval summary for zoledronic acid for treatment of multiple myeloma and cancer bone metastases. (2003)

In prostate cancer, both the proportions analysis and time-to-SRE analysis showed significantly less bone morbidity on Zol (4 mg) than placebo, but no significant difference between Zol (8 mg) and placebo in either analysis. In the solid tumor study, the time to SRE analysis but not the proportions analysis showed significantly less skeletal morbidity on Zol (4 mg) than placebo, and Zol (8 mg) was significantly better than placebo in both analyses. The breast cancer and myeloma study demonstrated noninferiority of Zol compared with Pam, with Zol retaining at least 49.3% of the Pam treatment effect previously demonstrated in placebo-controlled trials. Zol was approved on February 22, 2002, by the United States Food and Drug Administration for the "treatment of patients with multiple myeloma and documented bone metastases from solid tumors, in conjunction with standard antineoplastic therapy. Prostate cancer should have progressed after treatment with at least one hormonal therapy." The recommended dose and schedule is 4 mg of Zol infused over 15 min every 3-4 weeks. Increased Zol doses and shorter infusions are not recommended because of potential renal toxicity.
The three‐dimensional tracking pattern of the human patella (1990)

A study was undertaken to provide data on the three-dimensional tracking pattern of the patella, relative to the femur, in human knee-joint specimens. For this purpose, a highly accurate roentgen stereophotogrammetric analysis (RSA) method was applied. The three-dimensional motion patterns of the tibia and the patella were measured and represented in terms of three translations and three rotations each, during knee flexion in neutral (unloaded), endorotated, and exorotated pathways. We found that the patella displays complex but consistent three-dimensional motion patterns during flexion, which include flexion rotation, medial rotation, wavering tilt, and a lateral shift relative to the femur. The motion patterns are very much affected by tibial rotations accompanying flexion.
Multi-Scale Alignment and Contextual History for Attention Mechanism in Sequence-to-Sequence Model (2018)

A sequence-to-sequence model is a neural network module for mapping two sequences of different lengths. The sequence-to-sequence model has three core modules: encoder, decoder, and attention. Attention is the bridge that connects the encoder and decoder modules and improves model performance in many tasks. In this paper, we propose two ideas to improve sequence-to-sequence model performance by enhancing the attention module. First, we maintain the history of the location and the expected context from several previous time-steps. Second, we apply multiscale convolution from several previous attention vectors to the current decoder state. We utilized our proposed framework for sequence-to-sequence speech recognition and text-to-speech systems. The results reveal that our proposed extension can improve performance significantly compared to a standard attention baseline.
<i>l</i>-Fenfluramine in Tests of Dominance and Anxiety in the Rat (1988)

l-Fenfluramine (1.25 and 2.5 mg/kg) significantly reduced the success of dominant rats competing with untreated middle rank rats for chocolate. In resident rats, l-fenfluramine (2.5 mg/kg) significantly increased the number of submissions, and the time spent submitting, to untreated rats intruding into their home-cage territory; it also significantly reduced the number of kicks directed at, and the time spent kicking, the intruder; and the incidence of, and time spent in, aggressively grooming the intruder. When the intruder rats were treated with l-fenfluramine the only significantly change was a decrease in the number of wrestling bouts and the time spent wrestling. Since l-fenfluramine did not change other behaviours in this test (e.g. sniffing the opponent) the decrease in dominance behaviours was probably not secondary to nonspecific sedation. In the social interaction test of anxiety, l-fenfluramine (2.5 and 5 mg/kg) significantly reduced the time spent in active social interaction, and decreased motor activity. Analyses of covariance indicated that these were two independent effects. In the elevated plus-maze, l-fenfluramine (1.25-5 mg/kg) significantly decreased the percent number of entries made onto open arms, and (2.5 and 5 mg/kg) significantly decreased the percent of times spent on the open arms. The total number of arm entries was reduced by all doses (0.625-5 mg/kg). Analysis of covariance indicated that the decrease in percent of time spent on the open arms was secondary to the drop in overall activity. Thus there was no evidence of anxiolytic action in either of these tests, the changes indicating, if anything, anxiogenic effects.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
Room-temperature two-dimension exciton exchange and blue shift of absorption edge in GaAs/AlGaAs superlattices under an electric field (1989)

The first room-temperature two-dimensional heavy hole exciton red shift, greater than 25 meV due to the exchange of Van Hove-type M1 and quantum well excitons, was observed by photocurrent measurements in molecular beam epitaxy grown superlattices with periods of 30 Å GaAs/25 Å Ga0.5Al0.5As. At a photon energy of 1.66 eV, a 3000 cm−1 absorption change due to the blue shift of the superlattice absorption edge was also observed at room temperature in superlattices with periods of 20 Å GaAs/20 Å Ga0.5Al0.5As.
Acylation of toluene with acetic and benzoic acids catalysed by a solid superacid in a heterogeneous system (1985)

A solid superacid, which was prepared by exposing Zr(OH)4 to 0.5 mol dm–3 H2SO4 followed by calcining in air at 650 °C, was catalytically active in the acylation of toluene with acetic and benzoic acids in a heterogeneous system; this catalyst was also active for the reaction using ethyl and methyl esters as the acylating reagent.
Bayesian Network Classifiers (2011)

Abstract Bayesian network classifiers are used extensively both in academia and in a wide range of industrial applications and domains. This article first reviews the main concepts behind statistical pattern classifiers and Bayesian networks, including the main methods for the automated induction of these models. It then continues with a description of the application of Bayesian networks as statistical pattern classifiers. It discusses the advantages of Bayesian network classifiers over other types of classifiers, and provides up‐to‐date references covering the material and examples of applications. Readers with basic knowledge of statistics will acquire the necessary background to explore more technical papers and decide on whether Bayesian network classifiers are the right technology for their particular problem and domain.
