It demonstrated to be significant in both variables, but only in burnout for depersonalization dimension, obtaining higher average scores in ICU nurses
Branch-Aware Loop Mapping on CGRAs (2014)

One of the challenges that all accelerators face, is to execute loops that have if-then-else constructs. There are three ways to accelerate loops with an if-then-else construct on a Coarse-grained reconfigurable architecture (CGRA): full predication, partial predication, and dual-issue scheme. In comparison with the other schemes, dual-issue scheme may achieve the best performance, but it requires compiler support -- which does not exist. In this paper, we develop compiler techniques to map loops with conditionals on CGRA for the dual-issue scheme. Our experiments show: i) 40% of loops that can be accelerated on CGRA have conditionals, ii) The proposed dual-issue scheme enables our compiler to accelerate loops 40% faster than full predication scheme proposed in [12], and iii) Our compiler assisted dual issue scheme can exploit richer interconnects, if present.
Physical and thermal properties of blood storage bags: implications for shipping frozen components on dry ice (2002)

Blood storage bags made of EVA appear better suited for shipping frozen blood components on dry ice and are cost-effective replacements for PVC bags. For the identification of blood storage bags meeting specific storage requirements, physical and thermal analyses of blood storage bags may be useful and remove empiricism from the process.
Sleep-promoting effects of cerebrospinal fluid from sleep-deprived goats. (1967)

In 1913 Legendre and Pieron1 reported that injection of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) from a sleep-deprived dog into the cisterna magna of a normal animal induced in the recipient for 2-6 hours following the injection. Recipients of fluid from normal dogs remained alert. The hypnotoxic factor was said to be nondialyzable and thermolabile. The Pieron phenomenon was reinvestigated in 1939 by Schnedorf and Ivy,2 who reported positive results in 9 out of 20 trials. The experimental conditions involved severe stress to both donor and recipient animals. Donor animals were deprived of for 7-16 days and the technique of transferring relatively large quantities of CSF from donor to normal recipient without anesthesia undoubtedly involved severe trauma to the experimental animals. For these and other reasons, Schnedorf and Ivy questioned the relevance of the Pieron phenomenon to inormal sleep, although they were conivinced that the phenomenon was real. MVtonnier el al.3' 4 have recenitly reported that electrical stimulationl of ceniters in the thalamus of rabbits causes release of a dialyzable sleep-promoting factor in cerebral venous blood. The role of this substance in the iniitiation of normal is unknown, as is its relation to the nondialyzable material described by Pieron. A humoral factor inducing has also been postulated by Hayashi who reported that CSF obtained during the period of depression following convulsive seizures contains a factor which inhibits convulsions5 and promotes sleep6 when injected intravenitricularly. Hayashi suggested that the active principle might be 4-amino-2-hydroxybutyrate or possibly 4-OH-butyrate. We have now conducted a new investigation of the Pieron phenomenon, taking advantage of new techniques which enable experiments to be carried out under more physiological conditions than were possible iii the past. Crucial to our experiments is all abuittdant supp)ly of CS11' fromn goats which are 1)rovided with ntyloni guide tubes permanently implanted ni. occipital bone above the cistei'aa inagiia.7' 8 CS1i' carn be withdrawni repeatedly from each aniimal at the rate of 0.1 ml/minute foi mainy hours without the use of aniesthesia and without causiing the ainimals any apparent discomfort. For initial trials we prepared five cats with chronically implanted intraventricular cannulas of the Feldberg-Sherwood type.9 The ventricles of these animals were infused slowly (0.1 ml/min) with 1-3 ml of CSF from a inormal goat or from the same goat which had beeni deprived of for 72 hours. Cats which received fluid from sleep-deprived goats fell into a profound or torpor which lasted 12-24 hours; the sleep appeared to be natural in the sense that the cats could be awakened by noise or handling, but reverted to when left tunldisturbed. Sotne animials fell asleep duriiig the infusioin. Similar behavior was not observed when the same cats were infused with control CSF from the same (niotn-sleep-deprived) goats. Tfhese results supported Pieron's observations an-d inidicated that the phen.omenon was not species-specifie. However, laboratory
Improving Human-Machine Collaboration Through Transparency-based Feedback – Part I: Human Trust and Workload Model (2019)

In this paper, we establish a partially observable Markov decision process(POMDP) model framework that captures dynamic changes in human trust and workload for contexts that involve interactions between humans and intelligent decision-aid systems. We use a reconnaissance mission study to elicit a dynamic change in human trust and workload with respect to the system’s reliability and user interface transparency as well as the presence or absence of danger. We use human subject data to estimate transition and observation probabilities of the POMDP model and analyze the trust-workload behavior of humans. Our results indicate that higher transparency is more likely to increase human trust when the existing trust is low but also is more likely to decrease trust when it is already high. Furthermore, we show that by using high transparency, the workload of the human is always likely to increase. In our companion paper, we use this estimated model to develop an optimal control policy that varies system transparency to affect human trust-workload behavior towards improving human-machine collaboration.

Bionomics and control of the potato leafhopper, Empoasca mali Le Baron (1923)

The potato leafhopper (Empoassca mali, LeB) is the most serious insect pest affecting the potato crop in Iowa, and probably in the Mississippi valley. Thru its feeding activities, it produces a pathological condition in the leaves of many of its host plants which is characterized by a distortion of the leaf veins, especially near the tip and a yellowing of the tissue supplied by them around the margin and at the tip. Often this yellowing is followed by a necrosis of the leaf tissue. Especially is this true on the potato and with this plant the burning is accompanied by a rolling upward and inward of the leaf margin.
Maya Blue: An Unsolved Problem in Ancient Pigments (1962)

Abstract The early peoples of Southern Mexico decorated pottery and painted pictures on walls with a stable blue pigment which is not found elsewhere in the world. Investigation of this blue was started over 30 years ago, but still the true nature of the blue color principle is unknown. Since the blue cannot be destroyed by boiling nitric acid, it does not seem to be vegetable or organic in origin. It is quite unlike azurite or natural ultramarine or other blue minerals which were employed as sources of blue pigment by other ancient peoples. The main obstacle in the investigation is the extreme scarcity of research material. The only samples of the blue available for testing are thinly painted films on potsherds and on wall painting fragments where it is mixed with lime plaster and other impurities. Although attempts to procure lump specimens of the blue, even in gram quantitives, have failed, some progress has been made. It is now known that the inorganic base of the blue pigment is a clay mineral called attapulgite. Ordinary attapulgite is nearly colorless. We still do not know what makes the clay blue; whether it is a special kind of attapulgite or if the Maya produced it artifically. In this paper all the evidence accumulated to date is reviewed.

Study of Si-coupled superconducting field-effect transistor by tunneling spectroscopy (2003)

A superconducting field-effect transistor with a 0.1- mu m length gate electrode was fabricated, and its performance was studied by tunneling spectroscopy. Two superconducting electrodes (source and drain) were formed by a self-aligned fabrication process. Superconducting current flowing through the semiconductor (Si) between the two superconducting electrodes (Nb) was found to be controlled by applying a gate-bias voltage. The reflection of carriers at the boundary between p-type Si-single crystal and NbN film was studied by measuring the electrical resistance of a p-Si-coupled junction with coplanar structure. The results elucidate the boundary condition in the superconductor-semiconductor proximity system.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>
An Efficient Search Algorithm for the Lagrange Multipliers of Optimal Spectrum Balancing in Multi-User XDSL Systems (2006)

In modern DSL systems, multi-user crosstalk is a major source of performance degradation. Optimal spectrum balancing (OSB) is a centralized algorithm that optimally allocates the available transmit power over frequencies, thereby mitigating the effect of crosstalk. OSB uses Lagrange multipliers to enforce constraints that are coupled over frequencies. However, finding the optimal Lagrange multipliers can become complex when more than two users are considered. This paper presents a number of properties of the Lagrange multipliers which lead to an efficient search algorithm. Simulations show that the required number of Lagrange multiplier evaluations is independent of the number of users and much smaller compared to the number of evaluations of currently known search algorithms
Lisinopril administration improves insulin action in aged patients with hypertension. (1995)

Thirty elderly, mildly hypertensive patients were enrolled for a single-blind, randomised cross-over placebo controlled trial in which placebo and lisinopril (20 mg/day before breakfast) were given for 4 and 8 weeks, respectively. A wash-out period of 3 weeks between placebo and lisinopril was observed. In each patient a euglycaemic glucose clamp with simultaneous indirect calorimetry allowed us to determine whole body glucose disposal and substrate oxidation. Changes in morning SBP and DBP were also determined. Lisinopril vs. placebo significantly improved whole body glucose disposal (40.4 +/- 0.4 vs. 30.3 +/- 0.4 mumol/kg LBM x min; P < 0.01), non-oxidative glucose metabolism (18.1 +/- 0.7 vs. 10.9 +/- 0.6 mumol/kg LBM x min; P < 0.01) and fasting plasma potassium levels (4.8 +/- 3 vs. 4.4 +/- 0.4 mmol/l; P < 0.05). SBP (175 +/- 3.3 vs. 160 +/- 3.0 mm Hg; P < 0.001) and DBP (106 +/- 2.3 vs. 95 +/- 2.0 mm Hg; P < 0.001) were significantly reduced by lisinopril administration. After ACE inhibition, fasting plasma potassium levels correlated with the decline in mean arterial BP (r = -0.71; P < 0.006). In conclusion, lisinopril administration reduces arterial BP and improves insulin sensitivity in elderly hypertensive patients.
Munin: distributed shared memory based on type-specific memory coherence (1990)

We are developing Munin, a system that allows programs written for shared memory multiprocessors to be executed efficiently on distributed memory machines. Munin attempts to overcome the architectural limitations of shared memory machines, while maintaining their advantages in terms of ease of programming. Our system is unique in its use of loosely coherent memory, based on the partial order specified by a shared memory parallel program, and in its use of type-specific memory coherence. Instead of a single memory coherence mechanism for all shared data objects, Munin employs several different mechanisms, each appropriate for a different class of shared data object. These type-specific mechanisms are part of a runtime system that accepts hints from the user or the compiler to determine the coherence mechanism to be used for each object. This paper focuses on the design and use of Munin's memory coherence mechanisms, and compares our approach to previous work in this area.
Studies of the Influence of N-Substitution in Heparin on Its Anticoagulant Activity (1977)

Five partially N-desulfated heparin preparations (N-sulfate: 0.73–0.48 mol, O-sulfate: 1.33–1.29 mol, anticoagulant activity: 134–102 USP units) were prepared by solvolytic N-desulfation of the pyridinium salt of hog mucosal heparin (N-sulfate: 0.83 mol, O-sulfate: 1.42 mol, N-acetyl: 0.12 mol, anticoagulant activity: 165 USP units) in DMSO containing 5% water. The preparations, ranging in degree of N-desulfation from 12 to 31 %, which were obtained by reaction at 20°C for 5–60 min, retained an average of 79% of the original activity. A prepara tion with a degree of N-desulfation of 42%, which was obtained by reaction at 20°C for 120 ruin, retained 62% of the original activity. Five N-acetylated heparin preparations (N-acetyl: 0.17–0.49 mol) were prepared by N acetylation of the partially N-desulfated heparins. Their anticoagulant activities (133–107 USP units) were nearly equal to those of the corresponding starting N-desulfated heparins. N-Succinoylation of a partially N-desulfated heparm (N-sulfate: 0.57 mol, anticoagulant activity: 125 USP units) did not enhance its biological activity, but N-resulfation restored its anticoagulant activity to 94% of that of the original heparin. Partially N-acetylated heparin with 0.24 mol of N-acetyl groups, two whale heparin preparations, and a purified heparan sulfate fraction, all of which had similar N-acetyl contents (0.24–0.27 mol), were assayed for anticoagulant activity, and the correlation between biological activities and chemical properties is discussed.
A role for aberrant protein palmitoylation in FFA-induced ER stress and β-cell death (2012)

Exposure of insulin-producing cells to elevated levels of the free fatty acid (FFA) palmitate results in the loss of β-cell function and induction of apoptosis. The induction of endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress is one mechanism proposed to be responsible for the loss of β-cell viability in response to palmitate treatment; however, the pathways responsible for the induction of ER stress by palmitate have yet to be determined. Protein palmitoylation is a major posttranslational modification that regulates protein localization, stability, and activity. Defects in, or dysregulation of, protein palmitoylation could be one mechanism by which palmitate may induce ER stress in β-cells. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the hypothesis that palmitate-induced ER stress and β-cell toxicity are mediated by excess or aberrant protein palmitoylation. In a concentration-dependent fashion, palmitate treatment of RINm5F cells results in a loss of viability. Similar to palmitate, stearate also induces a concentration-related loss of RINm5F cell viability, while the monounsaturated fatty acids, such as palmoleate and oleate, are not toxic to RINm5F cells. 2-Bromopalmitate (2BrP), a classical inhibitor of protein palmitoylation that has been extensively used as an inhibitor of G protein-coupled receptor signaling, attenuates palmitate-induced RINm5F cell death in a concentration-dependent manner. The protective effects of 2BrP are associated with the inhibition of [(3)H]palmitate incorporation into RINm5F cell protein. Furthermore, 2BrP does not inhibit, but appears to enhance, the oxidation of palmitate. The induction of ER stress in response to palmitate treatment and the activation of caspase activity are attenuated by 2BrP. Consistent with protective effects on insulinoma cells, 2BrP also attenuates the inhibitory actions of prolonged palmitate treatment on insulin secretion by isolated rat islets. These studies support a role for aberrant protein palmitoylation as a mechanism by which palmitate enhances ER stress activation and causes the loss of insulinoma cell viability.
Insulin-induced Activation of Phosphatidylinositol (PI) 3-Kinase (1995)

Phosphatidylinositol (PI) 3-kinase is an enzyme that functions in the signaling pathways downstream from multiple cell surface receptors. The p85 regulatory subunit of PI 3-kinase binds to phosphotyrosine residues of various phosphoproteins including the platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) receptor, the insulin receptor, and insulin receptor substrate-1 (IRS-1). Using NIH-3T3 cells overexpressing the human insulin receptor, we demonstrate that the p85 regulatory subunit of PI 3-kinase binds to phosphorylated PDGF receptor in cells incubated in the absence of insulin. When insulin is added, p85 is released from phosphorylated PDGF receptors and binds to phosphorylated insulin receptors and insulin receptor substrate-1. Moreover, insulin-induced dissociation of PDGF receptors from binding sites on PI 3-kinase requires a functional insulin receptor and is not prevented by vanadate treatment. In contrast, insulin activation does not displace PDGF receptors from binding sites on Ras GTPase-activating protein. This competition for binding to PI 3-kinase provides a mechanism for cross-talk among signaling pathways initiated by distinct peptide hormones and growth factors such as insulin and PDGF.
Multiple Displacement Amplification of Isolated DNA from Human Gallstones: Molecular Identification of Helicobacter DNA by Means of 16S rDNA-Based Pyrosequencing Analysis (2005)

We conclude that multiple displacement amplification combined with pyrosequencing enables a rapid and accurate molecular typing of Helicobacter spp. from small and precious biopsy specimens.
Palmprint Verification for Controlling Access to Shared Computing Resources (2007)

You can build an effective palmprint verification system using a combination of mostly off-the-shelf components and techniques. Access security is an important aspect of pervasive computing systems. It offers the system developer and end users a certain degree of trust in the use of shared computing resources. Biometrics verification offers many advantages over the username-plus-password approach for access control. Users don't have to memorize any codes or passwords, and biometric systems are more reliable because biometric characteristics can't easily be duplicated, lost, or stolen. Researchers have studied such biometric characteristics as faces, fingerprints, irises, voices, and palmprints.Facial appearance and features change with age. Fingerprints can be affected by surface abrasions or otherwise compromised. Capturing iris images is relatively difficult, and iris scans can be intrusive. Voices are susceptible to noise corruption and can be easily copied and manipulated. Palmprints are potentially a good choice for biometric applications because they're invariant with a person, easy to capture, and difficult to duplicate. They offer greater security than fingerprints because palm veins are more complex than finger veins. However, compared to other biometric characteristics, they have perhaps seen less research. This provides a big opportunity for advancing palmprint technology and applications. We've developed an effective prototype palmprint verification system using a combination of mostly off-the-shelf (and therefore tried and tested) components and techniques. Such an approach should make palmprint verification an appealing proposition.
Genetic and phenotypic variance and covariance components for feed intake, feed efficiency, and other postweaning traits in Angus cattle. (2001)

Records on 1,180 young Angus bulls and heifers involved in performance tests were used to estimate genetic and phenotypic parameters for feed intake, feed efficiency, and other postweaning traits. The mean age was 268 d at the start of the performance test, which comprised 21-d adjustment and 70-d test periods. Traits studied included 200-d weight, 400-d weight, scrotal circumference, ultrasonic measurements of rib and rump fat depths and longissimus muscle area, ADG, metabolic weight, daily feed intake, feed conversion ratio, and residual feed intake. For all traits except the last five, additional data from the Angus Society ofAustralia pedigree and performance database were included, which increased the number of animals to 27,229. Genetic (co)variances were estimated by REML using animal models. Direct heritability estimates for 200-d weight, 400-d weight, rib fat depth, ADG, feed conversion,and residual feed intake were 0.17 +/- 0.03, 0.27 +/- 0.03, 0.35 +/- 0.04, 0.28 +/- 0.04, 0.29 +/- 0.04, and 0.39 +/- 0.03, respectively. Feed conversion ratio was genetically (r(g) = 0.66 ) and phenotypically (r(p) = 0.53) correlated with residual feed intake. Feed conversion ratio was correlated (r(g) = -0.62, r(p) = -0.74) with ADG, whereas residual feed intake was not (rg = -0.04, r(p) = -0.06). Genetically, both residual feed intake and feed conversion ratio were negatively correlated with direct effects of 200-d weight (r(g) = -0.45 and -0.21) and 400-d weight (r(g) = -0.26 and -0.09). The correlations between the remaining traits and the feed efficiency traits were near zero, except between feed intake and feed conversion ratio (r(g) = 0.31, r(p) = 0.23), feed intake and residual feed intake (r(g) = 0.69, r(p) = 0.72), and rib fat depth and residual feed intake (r(g) = 0.17, r(p) = 0.14). These results indicate that genetic improvement in feed efficiency can be achieved through selection and, in general, correlated responses in growth and the other postweaning traits will be minimal.
