The Policing of Desire in the Gabrielle Russier Affair (2005)

Gabrielle Russier’s persecution by the French state and its apparatuses for her love affair with a much younger male pupil, culminating in her suicide in 1969, is a now largely forgotten but still important part of the history of 1968 and its aftermath. The article retraces the affaire and its reproductions (which include a feature film starring Annie Girardot), and considers its implications for questions of power, desire, privacy, policing and the role of the educational institution. Would a new affaire Russier be possible today? How would it be differently treated in Britain or the US, and what questions does this raise about different social and institutional determinants in these countries?
Improving the quality of out‐patient services in NHS hospitals: some policy considerations (1996)

One of the key objectives in the Patient's Charter was to reduce the amount of time typically spent waiting for treatment in NHS out-patient clinics, a documented source of discontent. Presents the results of a quality improvement programme instituted at Leicester General Hospital. Discusses some of the techniques and problems encountered in the measurement exercise. While the results of the monitoring exercise indicated that waiting times were being radically reduced, doubt is expressed as to whether this one simplistic indicator is sufficient to measure the overall quality of out-patient clinics. There is a danger that measurement systems have concentrated on that which is measurable rather than that which is significant. In particular, the voice of the patient is not incorporated into the league table approach to out-patient quality. Discusses several approaches to the measurement of overall quality and the problems and dangers inherent in adopting a league table approach to quality measurement.
Identification of Products Resulting from the Biological Reduction of 2,4,6-Trinitrotoluene, 2,4-Dinitrotoluene, and 2,6-Dinitrotoluene by <i>Pseudomonas</i> sp. (1996)

Pseudomonas sp. clone A is able to use 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT), 2,4-dinitrotoluene, and 2,6-dinitrotoluene as an N-source after the enzymatic removal of nitro groups from the aromatic ring. We have identified in culture supernatants a hydride−TNT Meisenheimer complex, which is an intermediate in the removal of the first nitro group from the TNT aromatic ring. It has been shown in vitro that the hydride−TNT Meisenheimer complex is transformed to 2,4-dinitrotoluene and an unidentified compound, the molecular mass of which is 235. As side metabolites, reduced TNT derivativeswhich cannot be used as an N-source by this bacteriumappeared in culture supernatants. 2-Hydroxylamino-4,6-dinitrotoluene, 4-hydroxylamino-2,6-dinitrotoluene, 4-amino-2,6-dinitrotoluene, 2-amino-4,6-dinitrotoluene, and 2,4-diamino-6-nitrotoluene were found and chemically characterized. Spontaneous condensation of partially reduced TNT forms leads to the production of azoxytoluenes, and a possible condensation mechanism is discussed. For novel compounds, 1H NMR, UV, and infrared data are provided. Therefore, Pseudomonas sp. clone A carries out two different initial reductive reactions in the metabolism of 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene; one process removes a nitro group from the aromatic ring and allows it to be used as an N-source, while the other gives rise to side products.

The Renin–Angiotensin System and Reactive Oxygen Species: Implications in Pancreatitis (2011)

Advances in basic research indicate that RAS blockers may provide potential therapeutic role for the management of pancreatic inflammation and, more importantly, pancreatitis-associated complications. Genetic alterations resulting from a malfunction in the epigenetic control of pancreatic RAS could be a causative factor in the development of pancreatitis.
Production of L‐Leucine Nanoparticles under Various Conditions Using an Aerosol Flow Reactor Method (2008)

We have studied the formation of L‐leucine nanoparticles under various conditions using an aerosol flow reactor method. Temperatures and L‐leucine concentrations for the experiments were selected to vary the saturation conditions for L‐leucine in the reactor. In the two extreme cases, L‐leucine is either in (i) the condensed phase (110 ∘ C) or completely in (ii) the vapour phase (200 ∘ C) for all concentrations; (iii) at the intermediate temperature (150 ∘ C), the extent of evaporation of L‐leucine depends notably on the concentration, and thus partial evaporation and production of residual particles are expected. The size distribution of particles and the particle morphology varied according to formation mechanism with the geometric mean diameter of the particles between 30 nm and 210 nm. Hollow, spherical particles were obtained with the droplet‐to‐particle method without vaporisation of L‐leucine; whereas leafy‐looking particles were produced by homogeneous nucleation of supersaturated L‐leucine vapour and subsequent growth by heterogeneous vapour deposition.
Stereocontrolled Synthesis of Methyl Silanediol Peptide Mimics (2007)

The treatment of chiral sulfinimines with (methyldiphenylsilyl)lithium gives alpha-(methyldiphenylsilyl)sulfinamides with excellent diastereoselectivity, and in good yield. The presence of alpha-protons on the imines is also well tolerated. The sulfinamide auxiliary is easily removed via treatment with methanolic HCl and the resulting amine extended into peptide chains accordingly. The diphenylsilyl moiety is a resilient protecting group for the corresponding silanediol, which can be unmasked via treatment with TfOH, followed by aqueous hydrolysis. The crude silanediol may be isolated and purified as its corresponding bis-TMS siloxane via protection with TMSCl, and converted back to the desired silanediol via hydrolysis with aqueous KOH. Efforts to apply this approach to biologically relevant silanediol peptide mimics, with a view to protease inhibition, are described.

Cafestol to Tricalysiolide B and Oxidized Analogues: Biosynthetic and Derivatization Studies Using Non-heme Iron Catalyst Fe(PDP) (2012)

The tricalysiolides are a recently isolated class of diterpene natural products featuring the carbon backbone of the well-known coffee extract, cafestol. Herein we validate the use of our non-heme iron complex, Fe(PDP), as an oxidative tailoring enzyme mimic to test the proposal that this class of natural products derives from cafestol via cytochrome P-450-mediated furan oxidation. Thereafter, as predicted by computational analysis, C-H oxidation derivatization studies provided a novel 2° alcohol product as a single diastereomer.
The Importance of Low Frequency and Large Offset in Waveform Inversion (2006)

Proper reconstruction of the velocity field implies the recovery of a continuous range of wavenumbers from the low to the high end of the spatial spectrum. While the very low-wavenumber components of the model can be recovered by reflection tomography, waveform inversion has the potential to recover both intermediate and high wavenumber components of the model by using the full range of offsets and frequencies in the seismic data. However, this process is inherently difficult due to the non-linearity of the inverse problem. To mitigate this non-linearity, it is important to provide an appropriate starting velocity model, and seismic data with sufficient low frequencies and wide-angle wave propagation.
A software architecture for complex real-time systems (2002)

The increasing use of computer-based control systems in complex applications requires modelling techniques which make it easier to develop and maintain these systems. One promising approach is to use object-orientation. The difficulty is that a traditional object-oriented programming language is most suitable for use in small projects and therefore is not directly scalable to a heterogeneous and distributed environment. Even if the ability to handle distribution is added to such a language, there are features missing which are of importance for a computer-based industrial control system. Examples of missing features include the ability to define and generate object events and the ability to subscribe to large amounts of data in an efficient way. This paper presents an extended object model which is an extension of a traditional object model and provide the means to manage events and subscription. This extended model also includes support for the specification of both client and server interfaces of an object. Relations defined in the client interface can be used to describe relations between objects. These relations can be used to model the real world expressively. As temporal requirements can be described as parts of the interfaces, it is possible to utilize this information in performing a timing analysis of soft services in the system. The paper also describes the evolution of software architectures during recent years and, finally, presents an architecture which supports both hard and soft real-time requirements.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>
Finding Relevant Applications for Prototyping (2007)

When gathering requirements for new software projects, it is often cost-effective to find similar applications that can be used as the basis for prototypes rather than building them from scratch. However, finding such sample applications can be difficult, often making prototyping time-consuming and expensive. We offer a novel approach called Exemplar (EXEcutable exaMPLes ARchive) for finding highly relevant software projects from a large archive of executable applications. After a programmer enters a query that contains high-level concepts (e.g., toolbar, download, smart card), Exemplar uses information retrieval and program analysis to retrieve applications that implement these concepts. We hypothesize that Exemplar will be effective and efficient in helping programmers to quickly find highly relevant applications to support prototyping.
QoS tuning and resource sharing for UMTS WCDMA multiservice mobile (2002)

This paper studies the uplink of the Universal Mobile Telecommunications System flexible physical layer. It recalls the semistatic approach of transport highlighting key parameters of its control and proposes an external analytic model of the mobile physical layer. This approach is adapted to radio resource management in a multiservice environment, accounting for the relationships between the link and the system levels. This paper clearly shows the impact of the rate matching mechanism on the transmission performances at link level for transport channels multiplexed in the uplink. It refines the power index notion useful at the system level as an indicator of resource consumption and transmission quality of the physical data and control channels. Integrating inter- and intramobile multiservice features with performance tables (considering environment influence, channel coding type, etc.) leads to a cost function of the transport format combinations; a valuable toot for the evaluation of the uplink multiservice cellular capacity. Several multiplexing cases are then studied under the joint aspects of quality tuning and resource consumption.
Adaptive vector quantization for picture coding using neural networks (1995)

The paper presents applications of neural network algorithms to the design of an adaptive vector quantizer. Vector quantization has been applied to the problem of displaying natural images with a reduced set of colors (colormap) and to the interframe coding of image sequences. The first step was to test classical Linde Buzo Gray (LGB), self organizing feature maps (SOFM) and Competitive Learning (CL) algorithms for the codebook design. The best results for the reconstructed quality image and the computational time are obtained using a CL algorithm with a new initialization strategy that solves the problem of underutilized nodes. An adaptive vector quantization algorithm is proposed and tested in a motion compensated image coder. The results of the simulations are very promising. In fact the coder performance, compared with that using a fixed VQ, is considerably improved and the subjective quality of the coded images is much better than that obtained using standard vector quantization, especially when rapid motion is present in the scene.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>
Expression of matrix metalloproteinases in healthy and diseased human gingiva (2001)

Our results did not reveal significant differences in the expression of mRNAs encoding for the MMPs between healthy and periodontitis-affected patients, reflecting the great heterogeneity in the periodontal status of individuals. However, they indicate that gingival fibroblasts are an active source of MMP-2 production in response to a periopathogen.
Auger Recombination Suppression in Nanocrystals with Asymmetric Electron–Hole Confinement (2012)

Type II and quasi-type II nanocrystals with thick shells exhibit reduced blinking. However, after a number of monolayers, the influence of the shell thickness is found to vanish. Using a two-band Kane Hamiltonian, it is shown that this behavior is a consequence of interband coupling and asymmetric confinement of electrons and holes. Interface alloying provides an additional, order-of-magnitude contribution to the Auger suppression, in agreement with recent experiments. The existence is predicted of critical shell thicknesses that strongly quench Auger processes for any core size.
Brazed carbon fiber fabric field emission cathode (2020)

Field emission cathodes, comprised of commercially available carbon fiber fabrics directly brazed to metal substrates, were fabricated and tested. Cathodes fabricated in this manner eliminate the need for an epoxy bond between the carbon fibers and the substrates and can be baked, in a vacuum, at high temperatures, limited by the re-melt temperature of the braze. Preliminary testing at mildly relativistic voltages (200 kV-300 kV) yielded average current emission densities of 100's of A/cm<sup>2</sup>, which are in line with previously published results on epoxy-bonded carbon fiber field emission cathodes.
Group-specific small-subunit rRNA hybridization probes to characterize filamentous foaming in activated sludge systems (1997)

Foaming in activated sludge systems is characterized by the formation of a thick, chocolate brown-colored scum that floats on the surface of aeration basins and secondary clarifiers. These viscous foams have been associated with the presence of filamentous mycolic acid-containing actinomycetes. To aid in evaluating the microbial representation in foam, we developed and characterized group-, genus-, and species-specific oligonucleotide probes targeting the small subunit rRNA of the Mycobacterium complex, Gordona spp., and Gordona (Nocardia) amarae, respectively. The use of a universal base analog, 5-nitroindole, in oligonucleotide probe design was evaluated by comparing the characteristics of two different versions of the Mycobacterium complex probe. The temperature of dissociation of each probe was determined. Probe specificity studies with a diverse collection of 67 target and nontarget rRNAs demonstrated the specificity of the probes to the target groups. Whole-cell hybridizations with fluorescein- and rhodamine-labeled probes were performed with pure cultures of various members of the Mycobacterium complex as well as with environmental samples from a full-scale activated sludge plant which experienced foaming. Quantitative membrane hybridizations with activated sludge and anaerobic digester foam showed that 15.0 to 18.3% of the total small-subunit rRNAs could be attributed to members of the Mycobacterium complex, of which a vast majority consisted of Gordona rRNA. Several G. amarae strains made up only a very small percentage of the Gordona strains present. We demonstrated that group-specific rRNA probes are useful tools for the in situ monitoring and identification of filamentous bacteria in activated sludge systems.
A tentative identification of components in the essential oil ofCannabis sativa L. by a combination of gas chromatography negative ion chemical ionization mass spectrometry and retention indices (1983)

The identification of components in the essential oil of Cannabis sativa L. is accomplished by combining the information of molecular weight, functional group and retention index. The molecular weight of individual substances eluting from a capillary column is determined by negative ion chemical ionization. The reactant ion OH− produces [MH]− ions by proton abstraction. The RCOO unit present in esters is converted into the RCOO− ion by a nucleophilic attack by the OH− ion upon the ester function, which offers a simple identification of the acid part of an ester.
Doxazosin Induces Apoptosis of Benign and Malignant Prostate Cells via a Death Receptor–Mediated Pathway (2006)

Quinazoline-based alpha1-adrenoceptor antagonists such as doxazosin and terazosin have been previously shown to induce apoptosis in prostate cancer cells via an alpha1-adrenoceptor-independent pathway, involving activation of transforming growth factor-beta1 (TGF-beta1) signaling. In this study, the molecular events initiating this apoptotic effect were further investigated in vitro using the human androgen-independent prostate cancer cells PC-3 and the human benign prostate epithelial cells BPH-1. Quantitative microarray assays were done in PC-3 and BPH-1 cells after treatment with doxazosin (25 micromol/L, 6 and 24 hours) to identify the early gene changes. Transient changes in the expression of several apoptosis regulators were identified, including up-regulation of Bax and Fas/CD95 and down-regulation of Bcl-xL and TRAMP/Apo3. Moreover, there were significant changes in the expression pattern of signaling components of the extracellular matrix such as integrins alpha2, alphaV, beta1, and beta8. Western blot analysis revealed activation of caspase-8 and caspase-3 within the first 6 to 12 hours of treatment with doxazosin in both PC-3 and BPH-1 cells. Doxazosin-induced apoptosis was blocked by specific caspase-8 inhibitors, supporting the functional involvement of caspase-8 in doxazosin-induced apoptosis. The effect of doxazosin on recruitment of Fas-associated death domain (FADD) and procaspase-8 to the Fas receptor was examined via analysis of death-inducing signaling complex formation. Doxazosin increased FADD recruitment and subsequent caspase-8 activation, implicating Fas-mediated apoptosis as the underlying mechanism of the effect of doxazosin in prostate cells. These results show that doxazosin exerts its apoptotic effects against benign and malignant prostate cells via a death receptor-mediated mechanism with a potential integrin contribution towards cell survival outcomes.
Is mutation an appropriate tool for testing experiments? (2005)

The empirical assessment of test techniques plays an important role in software testing research. One common practice is to instrument faults, either manually or by using mutation operators. The latter allows the systematic, repeatable seeding of large numbers of faults; however, we do not know whether empirical results obtained this way lead to valid, representative conclusions. This paper investigates this important question based on a number of programs with comprehensive pools of test cases and known faults. It is concluded that, based on the data available thus far, the use of mutation operators is yielding trustworthy results (generated mutants are similar to real faults). Mutants appear however to be different from hand-seeded faults that seem to be harder to detect than real faults.

Exact one-dimensional computation of ultrasonic transducers with several piezoelectric elements and passive layers using the transmission line analogy (1997)

We present a computation technique for one-dimensional piezoelectric transducers, resonators, or interferometers having an arbitrary number of layers and piezoelectric elements electrically in parallel. Explicit and exact expressions are derived for the electric impedance and acoustic velocities. This method is based upon a systematic use of the electrical transmission line analogy, each passive or active medium being represented by a line. It has successfully been applied to various structures, particularly a symmetrical resonator with an intermediate liquid medium and a total of 29 media.
Recurrent Cholangitis with Liver Abscess and Endogenous Endophthalmitis: A Case Report (2005)

Endogenous endophthalmitis is a rare disease that most commonly from pyogenic liver abscess. Ascending cholangitis resulting from biliary obstruction due to bile duct stone is the most common cause of liver abscess. Intra-ocular involvement that tends to be rapidly progressive and often leads to permanent loss of visual function or even blindness. Here we reported a case of a seventy-two year-old female of choledocholithasis with cholangitis and pyogenic liver abscess. She complained of left eye discomfort and floaters for three days. Systemic, subconjunctival and intravitreal antibiotics were given promptly after admission but the condition did not improve. In the meantime, choledocholithotomy and T tube drainage were performed for relief of cholangitis and bile stasis to control the biliary tract infection. Unfortunately, she had to accept left eye ennucleation due to intractable inflammation with eye pain and permanent loss of vision. Reports from the previous literature showed that if poor visual outcome was found most of them were due to delay treatment. Therefore, physician should be alert to endophthalmitis whenever patient is complains of ocular symptoms coexistence of liver abscess or cholangitis. Urgent ophthalmological assessment and surgical intervention with strong antibiotics may improve the outcome and preserved where possible.
