Retinoic acid-binding protein in rat tissue. Partial purification and comparison to rat tissue retinol-binding protein. (1975)

When the 100,000 X g supernatant fractions of several rat organs are incubated with all-trans-[3H]retinoic acid, a binding component for retinoic acid with a sedimentation coefficient of 2 S can be detected by sucrose gradient centrifugation. This tissue binding protein for retinoic acid is distinct from the tissue binding protein for retinol which has been previously described. The tissue retinoic acid-binding protein has been partially purified from rat testis and this partially purified protein would appear to have a molecular weight of 14,500 as determined by gel filtration and high binding specificity for all-trans-retinoic acid. Binding of [3H]retinoic acid is not diminished by a 200-fold molar excess of retinal, retinol, or oleic acid but is reduced by a 200-fold excess of unlabeled retinoic acid. Tissue retinoic acid-binding protein can be detected in extracts of brain, eye, ovary, testis, and uterus but is apparently absent in heart muscle, small intestine, kidney, liver, lung, gastrocnemious muscle, serum, and spleen. This distribution is different than that observed for the tissue retinol-binding protein. Tissue retinol-binding protein was also purified extensively from rat testis. The partially purified protein has an apparent molecular weight of 14,000 and high binding specificity for all-trans-[3H]retinol as only unlabeled all-trans-retinol but not retinal, retinoic acid, retinyl acetate, retinyl palmitate, or oleic acid could diminish binding of the 3H ligand under the conditions employed. The partially purified protein has a fluorescence excitation spectrum with lambda max at 350 nm. In contrast, the retinol-binding protein isolated from rat serum and described by others has a fluorescence excitation spectrum with lambda max at 334 nm and an apparent molecular weight of 19,000. When partially purified tissue retinol-binding protein is extracted with heptane, the heptane extract has a fluorescence excitation spectrum similar to that of all-trans-retinol.
Comparative study of the protein patterns of some rapeseed (Brassica napus L.) varieties by means of polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and high‐performance liquid chromatography (1992)

Abstract Seven rapeseed varieties were characterized by investigation of the patterns of buffer soluble proteins using polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and high‐performance liquid chromatography (size‐exclusion and cation‐exchange chromatography). Most pronounced differences were found in proteins not belonging to 12 S and 2 S storage proteins having presumably metabolic functions. Quantitative variations dominate within the low molecular mass 2 S storage proteins.
A Mechanism-Based Four-Chain Constitutive Model for Enthalpy-Driven Thermoset Shape Memory Polymers With Finite Deformation (2020)

Abstract Chemically cross-linked thermoset shape memory polymers (TSMPs) are an important branch of smart materials due to their potentially wide applications in deplorable structures, soft robots, damage self-healing, and 4D printing. Further development and design of TSMP structures call for constitutive models. Although the Arruda–Boyce eight-chain model has been very successful and widely used for entropy-driven TSMPs, recent studies found that some new TSMPs, such as those using enthalpy as the primary driving force, show unit cells different from the eight-chain model. Considering that these new epoxy-based TSMP networks consist of a plenty of four-chain features, this study proposes a four-chain tetrahedron structure as the unit cell of the network to construct the constitutive model. In this model, Gibbs free energy is used to formulate the thermodynamic driving force. Then, by introducing a transition of the molecule deformation mechanism from that dominated by bond stretch to that dominated by bond angle opening, the traditional Langevin chain model is modified. It is found that this model can well capture the dramatic modulus change for the new TSMP in the thermomechanical experiments. Moreover, it shows that the original Treloar four-chain model and Arruda–Boyce eight-chain model underestimate the driving force for the enthalpy-driven TSMPs, and thus cannot well capture the thermomechanical behaviors. It is also found that under certain conditions, our four-chain model produces the same Cauchy stress as the eight-chain model does. This study may help researchers understand the thermomechanical response and design a special category of TSMPs with high recovery stress.
The United States and the Overthrow of Sukarno, 1965-1967 (1985)

IN THIS SHORT PAPER on a huge and vexed subject, I discuss the U.S. involvement in the bloody overthrow of Indonesia's President Sukarno, 1965-67. The whole story of that ill-understood period would transcend even the fullest possible written analysis. Much of what happened can never be documented; and of the documentation that survives, much is both controversial and unverifiable. The slaughter of Sukarno's left-wing allies was a product of widespread paranoia as well as of conspiratorial policy, and represents a tragedy beyond the intentions of any single group or coalition. Nor is it suggested that in 1965 the only provocations and violence came from the right-wing Indonesian military, their contacts in the United States, or (also important, but barely touched on here) their mutual contacts in British, German and Japanese intelligence. And yet, after all this has been said, the complex and ambiguous story of the Indonesian bloodbath is also in essence simpler and easier to believe than the public version inspired by President Suharto and U.S. government sources. Their problematic claim is that in the so-called Gestapu (Gerakan September Tigahpuluh) coup attempt of September 30, 1965 (when six senior army generals were murdered), the left attacked the right, leading to a restoration of power, and punitive purge of the left, by the center.' This article argues instead that, by inducing, or at a minimum helping to induce, the Gestapu coup, the right in the Indonesian Army eliminated its rivals at the army's center, thus paving the way to a long-planned elimination of the civilian left, and eventually
New stopping criteria for decoding LDPC codes in H-ARQ systems (2008)

In this paper, we propose a combination of stopping criteria for BP decoding of LDPC codes effective on both high and low SNR and scalable to variable rate and length codes. The proposed algorithms combine three distinct criteria for decoding including conventional syndrome stopping. Each criterion is extremely simple and shall not be a burden to overall system. With these criteria, it is shown that the decoding complexity of H-ARQ system with AMC scheme can be reduced.

Responses of Serum Androgenic-Anabolic and Catabolic Hormones to Prolonged Strength Training (1988)

Endocrine and neuromuscular effects of prolonged strength training were investigated in 21 strength-trained male subjects during the course of a 24-week progressive strength training and during a subsequent detraining period of 12 weeks. Maximal isometric leg extensor force increased by 19% (P less than 0.001) during the first 20 weeks, followed by a plateau during the 4 latest weeks of training. During the course of the training period, no systematic change was found in serum testosterone concentrations, but there was a decreasing tendency in the concentrations of free testosterone (NS), 17-OH-progesterone (NS), androstenedione (P less than 0.05), dehydroepiandrosterone (P less than 0.05), cortisol (P less than 0.01), transcortin (CBG) (P less than 0.05), and in the cortisol/CBG ratio (P less than 0.05). The last 4 weeks of training were characterized by significant correlations between the individual changes in maximal isometric force and the changes in serum free testosterone concentrations (r = 0.60, P less than 0.01). The changes in the ratios of free testosterone to cortisol (r = 0.73, P less than 0.001), total testosterone to cortisol (r = 0.83, P less than 0.001), and 17-OH-progresterone to cortisol (r = 0.62, P less than 0.01) also correlated with the changes in maximal force. The findings suggest that the turnover of endogenous androgens may increase during progressively intensified training without a change in serum total testosterone concentration. Prolonged intensive strength training may also lead to changes in the concentrations of serum cortisol and transcortin. During the most stressful phases of training, the changes in serum androgen/cortisol ratios seem to be highly individual and may correlate with changes in muscular strength.
Increased Serum Pancreatic Enzymes after Bilateral Laparoscopic Nephroureterectomy for Transitional Cell Carcinoma of Renal Pelvis (2006)

A 52-year-old female underwent transperitoneal laparoscopic bilateral nephroureterectomy with bladder cuff excision to treat transitional cell carcinoma of renal pelvis. Chronic renal insufficiency was noted before the operation. She did not have other systemic diseases or risk factors of acute pancreatitis such as biliary stone or alcoholism. Abdominal fullness with high levels of pancreatic enzymes (amylase: 687 U/L; lipase: 1342 U/L) were noted postoperatively. There were no symptoms of epigastragia or radiating back pain. The drainage fluid was clear and abdominal computed tomography did not reveal evidence of intestinal or pancreatic injuries. The clinical course was not compatible with typical acute pancreatitis. She received partial parenteral nutrition and started oral feeding 15 days after the operation. The patient no longer complained of having abdominal discomfort but high levels of pancreatic enzymes (amylase: 346 U/L, lipase: 423 U/L) were still noted five months after the operation.
Effects of Source Mismatch on Multipole Logging (2005)

P212 Effects of source mismatch on multipole logging JOONGMOO BYUN 1 . M. NAFI TOKSÖZ 2 AND RAMA RAO 2 Abstract 1 The effects of mismatched multipole sources were investigated. Multipole sources considered here are those that they are constructed of monopoles with appropriate sign combination. To simulate mismatched dipole and quadrupole sources we made the amplitude of one of monopoles smaller than those of the other monopoles. The dipole and quadrupole component were obtained with four monopole receiver array system by subtracting or adding appropriate responses. Mismatched dipole source excites nondipole modes in addition to the flexural mode. The
What do you want to do next (2012)

Interaction intent prediction and the Midas touch have been a longstanding challenge for eye-tracking researchers and users of gaze-based interaction. Inspired by machine learning approaches in biometric person authentication, we developed and tested an offline framework for task-independent prediction of interaction intents. We describe the principles of the method, the features extracted, normalization methods, and evaluation metrics. We systematically evaluated the proposed approach on an example dataset of gaze-augmented problem-solving sessions. We present results of three normalization methods, different feature sets and fusion of multiple feature types. Our results show that accuracy of up to 76% can be achieved with Area Under Curve around 80%. We discuss the possibility of applying the results for an online system capable of interaction intent prediction.
<title>Trilayer Bubble-Forming Optical Recording Media</title> (1982)

An investigation was made of the possibilities of optical recording on bubble-forming metal/thermodegradeable-plastic bilayers incorporated in front-surface trilayer devices. Two distinct types of trilayer device were chosen for study. It was found that a device consisting of a 14 nm-thick metal layer, a 200 nm-thick thermodegradeable-plastic dielectric layer and a 100 nm-thick aluminum layer had promising properties. That is, a power of only 6.5 mW focussed into a 0.8 μm spot at 442 nm (the helium-cadmium laser line) was required to write a 5 MHz-pattern with 50% duty cycle. This pattern is observed with high contrast at 633 nm (the helium-near laser line), where the initial reflectivity is 0.9, and it provides signal to noise in a 30 kHz bandwidth of 45 dB. The trilayer device is also calculated to have the same writing sensitivity at 830 nm (the gallium arsenide laser line).
Field Hydraulic Tests Improve HPHT Drillng Safety and Performance (1998)

Abstract For the Elgin-Franklin UKCS fields, drilling of the HPHT phase is critical due to the narrow margin between formation pore and fracturation pressures. This problem is accentuated by the extreme temperature (up to 205C - 400F) and pressure (up to 1200 bar - 17400 psi). A new generation of down-hole Pressure While Drilling (PWD) tools allows a better real-time monitoring of the bottom-hole pressure, but cannot withstand the extreme temperature of the entire HPHT phase. Furthermore, down-hole and surface pressures are dependent on complex hydraulic phenomena which make predictions challenging. Consequently it was decided to perform hydraulic tests before drilling the HPHT section of the well 22/3Oc-G4 (first Elgin development well), in order to quantify the surface and down-hole pressures and temperatures on several operating conditions: circulating (with an without pipe rotation), tripping and flow check. Gelation tests, trapped pressure as well as pressure transmission tests were also performed. Objectives of these tests were: to better understand some complex down-hole physical phenomena, to prepare practical guidelines (such as mud density variations, Equivalent Static Density values, ECD function of flow rate and pipe rotation, mud compressibility values, tripping procedures, etc…) before drilling HPHT sections, to check reliability and accuracy of new Real Time PWD tools, and to collect accurate well data for further hydraulic software packages validation or improvement. These procedures led to great benefits, both in terms of safety and performance, when drilling the HPHT phases of the well: results were considered as highly positive. This paper details down-hole measurement procedures and results, operational guide lines, tools performances, lessons learnt, and explain how to cope with sources of possible discrepancies between actual values and software predictions.

Assessment of Bioflocculant Production by Bacillus sp. Gilbert, a Marine Bacterium Isolated from the Bottom Sediment of Algoa Bay (2011)

The bioflocculant-producing potentials of a marine bacteria isolated from the bottom sediment of Algoa Bay was investigated using standard methods. The 16S rDNA sequence analysis revealed 98% similarity to that of Bacillus sp. HXG-C1 and the nucleotide sequence was deposited in GenBank as Bacillus sp. Gilbert with accession number HQ537128. Bioflocculant was optimally produced when sucrose (72% flocculating activity) and ammonium chloride (91% flocculating activity) were used as sole sources of carbon and nitrogen, respectively; an initial pH 6.2 of the production medium; and Mg²⁺ as cation. Chemical analysis of the purified bioflocculant revealed the compound to be a polysaccharide.
NGF is released into plasma during human pregnancy: an oxytocin-mediated response? (1993)

The presence of biologically active nerve growth factor (NGF) in the peripheral circulation of women during pregnancy, labour and lactation was investigated. Using a sensitive immunoenzymatic assay (ELISA), we found an approximately five-fold increase in plasma NGF levels during labour and lactation compared with the concentrations found at the term of gestation or in control healthy women. Since labour and lactation are characterized by activation of the hypothalamo-pituitary-adrenal axis and by high plasma levels of the neurohypophyseal hormone oxytocin, and since the intravenous injection of oxytocin in female rats causes a 176% increase in the hypothalamic levels of NGF, it is possible that the increased amount of circulating NGF is correlated with one or both of these events.
Image Construction for Concave Gratings at Grazing Incidence, by Ray Tracing (1963)

The images formed by a concave grating used at grazing incidence are constructed by a ray-tracing method. The method, equivalent to a recently developed procedure of Spencer and Murty, can be used for any configuration of grating and object. The results are compared with a third-order approximate theory for the case of rays parallel to the Rowland plane.
Low Back and Neck/Shoulder Pain in Construction Workers (1992)

The prevalence rate of neck and shoulder trouble and considerable neck and shoulder pain in a randomly selected sample of 1773 construction workers were studied. The relationship to physical and psychosocial factors was analyzed. The workers answered a postal questionnaire. Workload was measured by means of eight manual materials handling indices and ten psychosocial indices, based on results from factor analyses. The 1-year prevalence rate of considerable neck and shoulder trouble was 56% and of neck and shoulder pain 12%. To work with hands above shoulder level showed a dose-response relationship to both neck and shoulder trouble and neck and shoulder pain. The psychosocial factors were more prominently associated with neck and shoulder trouble and neck and shoulder pain than the physical workload factors. The psychosocial indices; psychosomatic and psychic symptoms, stress and job satisfaction showed the highest age-standardized prevalence rate ratios for both neck and shoulder trouble and neck and shoulder pain.
Renal-Nonresponsive, Bone-Responsive Pseudohypoparathyroidism (1984)

Clinical signs of rickets developed in a previously healthy 13-year-old girl with normal features. She had hypocalcemia, hyperphosphatemia, elevated alkaline phosphatase and parathyroid hormone levels, and normal vitamin D metabolite levels, with osteitis fibrosa cystica on bone biopsy specimen. Her renal function was normal. Treatment with 1 microgram of calcitriol each day resulted in symptomatic and clinical relief and improvement of the serum chemical values. This patient probably has pseudohypoparathyroidism type 1, with renal nonresponsiveness and bone responsiveness. This disorder has the clinical features of rickets, but represents hyperparathyroid bone disease.

Identification of Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans by leukotoxin gene-specific hybridization and polymerase chain reaction assays (1993)

Eleven strains of Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans isolated from cases of systemic infections, local abscesses, and periodontitis were identified by genetic assays using the leukotoxin gene as the target. We have developed a polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay, based on the leukotoxin structural gene of this pathogen, which clearly identified all tested strains of A. actinomycetemcomitans and separated them from the closely related Haemophilus aphrophilus as well as other bacterial species. Furthermore, DNA-DNA hybridization was performed with the cloned partial leukotoxin structural gene (lktA) as a probe, which again clearly distinguished A. actinomycetemcomitans from H. aphrophilus, parts of the normal oral flora, and species harboring RTX (repeats in toxin) family-related cytotoxins. The PCR fragment amplified from the leukotoxin structural gene gave results similar to those given by the cloned leukotoxin gene when used as a probe in hybridization experiments. The hybridization and PCR assays described here are fundamental improvements for the identification of A. actinomycetemcomitans.
Backside illuminated SPAD image sensor with 7.83μm pitch in 3D-stacked CMOS technology (2016)

We present the first 3D-stacked backside illuminated (BSI) single photon avalanche diode (SPAD) image sensor capable of both single photon counting (SPC) intensity, and time resolved imaging. The 128×120 prototype has a pixel pitch of 7.83 μm making it the smallest pixel reported for SPAD image sensors. A low power, high density 40nm bottom tier hosts the quenching front end and processing electronics while an imaging specific 65nm top tier hosts the photo-detectors with a 1-to-1 hybrid bond connection [1]. The SPAD exhibits a median dark count rate (DCR) below 200cps at room temperature and 1V excess bias, and has a peak photon detection probability (PDP) of 27.5% at 640nm and 3 V excess bias.
Melting Processes and Solidification in Alloys 718-625 (1991)

The present state of melting techniques for IN7 18 and IN625 has well-defined limitations both in terms of the ingot structure and maximum ingot size which is fabricable by the various processes.Although there are methods already in industrial use which would extend both of these limits, since the alloys must be produced at a relatively low cost here are further limitations on the practical manufacturing methods.The underlying scientific problems of solidification, inclusion removal and structure control are discussed with the conclusion that the present ingot structures probably cannot be substantially improved, but the inclusion population could be modified without much additional effort.Suggestions are made as to the possibilities for making larger pieceweights of the alloys should these become necessary for the marketplace.
