The effect of flickering U‐V light output on the attractiveness of an insect electrocutor trap to the house‐fly, Musca domestica (1987)

Abstract The ultraviolet lamps commonly used in insect electrocutor traps flicker at twice the mains AC frequency. A trap was modified to be powered from a flicker‐free (DC) source. When house‐flies, Musca domestica L. (Diptera: Muscidae), were released in a test room containing one flickering and one non‐flickering trap, 75% of the flies were caught by the trap with the flickering lamps. Mean intensities and emission spectra were identical. The trap with flickering lamps still caught more flies when the intensity of its lamps was lowered to half that of the DC‐driven trap. The implications of these results for testing colour preference in attractant lamps are mentioned. ZUSAMMENFASSUNG Der Einfluss von Flimmerndem U‐V Licht auf die Wirksamkeit von Lichtfallen zur Bekämpfung der Stubenfliege , Musca domestica Die ultravioletten Leuchtröhren, die oft in Lichtfallen zur Bekämpfung von Fluginsekten verwendet werden, flimmern bei der doppelten Frequenz des normalen Netzwechselstromes (d.h. 100 oder 120Hz). Dieses Flimmern ist bei den Insekten, die eine hohe Flimmerlichtverschmelzungsfrequenz haben, sichtbar. Das Ziel dieser Untersuchung war, festzustellen, ob die Flimmerfrequenz die Wirk‐sammkeit der Lichtfalle beeinflusst. Eine ‘Rento‐kil’ (Modell 143) Lichtfalle wurde umgebaut, damit sie von zwei 12V Autobatterien betrieben werden konnte, um ein flimmerfries Anlockungslicht zu erzeugen. Stubenfliegen wurden in einem 31,8 Kubikmeter grossen Testraum, worin eine nichtflimmernde und eine unmodifizierte, flimmernde Lichtfalle montiert waren, freigelassen. Bei Versuchen, wo die normale Zimmerbeleuchtungsröhren eingeschaltet waren, wurden 75% der Fliegen in der flimmernden Lichtfalle aufgefangenen. Durchschnittswerte für Lichtintensität Beleuchtungsflächen und Ausstrahlungspektrum blieben identisch. Als dieser Versuch im verdunkelten Raum wiederholt wurde, blieben die Verhältnisse der in den beiden Fallen aufgefangenen Fliegen, unverändert. Die Fangrate der Fallen war jedoch im dunklen Raum höher, weil es keine andere für die Fliegen anlockende Lichtquellen gab. Selbst bei der Hälfte der Lichtintensität der von Gleichstrom betriebenen Lichtfalle, wurden 61% der Fliegen in der nichtflimmernden Falle aufgefangen. (Alle Versuchsergebnisse waren statistisch signifikant.) Diese erhöhte Wirksamkeit blieb für beide Geschlechter gleich. Diese Beobachtung stimmt mit den ähnlichen Flimmerfrequenzwerten von männlichen und weiblichen Art Musca überein. Im Fall der Tsetsefliege sind die beiden Geschlechter verschieden flimmerempfindlich, und deswegen würde man Unterschiede in der Reaktion auf flimmernde Lichtfallen erwarten. Von Natur aus werden Fliegen der Art Musca von flimmerden Licht angelockt. Die Konsequenzen dieser Ergebnisse hinsichtlich der Untersuchung der Farbwahl der Anlockungslichtquellen werden in dieser Veröfftentlichung erwähnt.
Evaluation of Strain Measurement Devices for Inflatable Structures (2017)

Inflatable structures provide a significant volume savings for future NASA deep space missions. The complexity of these structures, however, provides difficulty for engineers in designing, analyzing, and testing. Common strain measurement systems for metallic parts cannot be used directly on fabrics. New technologies must be developed and tested to accurately measure the strain of inflatable structures. This paper documents the testing of six candidate strain measurement devices for use on fabrics. The resistance devices tested showed significant hysteresis during creep and cyclic testing. The capacitive device, however, showed excellent results and little-to-no hysteresis. Because of this issue, only two out of the six proposed devices will continue in development. The resulting data and lessons learned from this effort provides direction for continued work to produce a structural health monitoring system for inflatable habitats.
Comparative Action of Aureomycin, Chloromycetin, Neomycin, Q-19, and Polymyxin B Against Gram Negative Bacilli (1950)

Twenty strains each of E. Coli, Aerobacter aerogenes, Pseudomonas, and Proteus vulgaris were tested for sensitivity to neomycin, Q-19, aureomycin, chloromycetin, and Polycyxin B. Q-19 and polymyxin B were particularly effective against Pseudomonas. Neomycin and chloromycetin were most effective against Proteus. Only 5 of the 80 strains tested were not sensitive to 31.2 μg or less of neomycin.
Theory of Shell Structures (1983)

Shell structures form key components in a very wide range of engineering enterprise. The theory of shell structures is an old and large subject, with a huge literature. However, this book is not a compilation of results from the past. Instead, it is an attempt to bring the essence of the subject within the grasp of engineers. It tackles the fundamental question of how bending and stretching effects combine and interact in shell structures from a physical point of view; and it shows that this approach leads to an understanding of the structural mechanics of shells in general, and to useful results in particular problems. The first half of the book is concerned mainly with the basic ideas and equations of equilibrium, geometry and elasticity, and their combination in various useful ways. In particular, it includes a simple treatment of the geometry of general curved surfaces. The second half of the book first investigates the behaviour of various practical shell structures under static loading. Then there are chapters on the buckling of shells, on vibration, and on the application of plastic theory to analysis and design.

Via processing options for MCM-D fabrication: excimer laser ablation vs. reactive ion etching (2002)

The use of reactive ion etching and excimer laser ablation processes for the etching of vias through thick layers of dielectric (up to 25 mu m thick) in multichip module fabrication is evaluated. A comparison of possible masking schemes is presented. Typical etch results obtained by these techniques are shown and compared. A throughput analysis of these two via fabrication techniques for use in a high-volume multichip module substrate facility is presented. Results obtained suggest that laser processing is a viable alternative to reactive ion etching for multichip module substrate via fabrication.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>
Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics of the Proton Pump Inhibitors (2013)

Proton pump inhibitor (PPI) is a prodrug which is activated by acid. Activated PPI binds covalently to the gastric H(+), K(+)-ATPase via disulfide bond. Cys813 is the primary site responsible for the inhibition of acid pump enzyme, where PPIs bind. Omeprazole was the first PPI introduced in market, followed by pantoprazole, lansoprazole and rabeprazole. Though these PPIs share the core structures benzimidazole and pyridine, their pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics are a little different. Several factors must be considered in understanding the pharmacodynamics of PPIs, including: accumulation of PPI in the parietal cell, the proportion of the pump enzyme located at the canaliculus, de novo synthesis of new pump enzyme, metabolism of PPI, amounts of covalent binding of PPI in the parietal cell, and the stability of PPI binding. PPIs have about 1hour of elimination half-life. Area under the plasmic concentration curve and the intragastric pH profile are very good indicators for evaluating PPI efficacy. Though CYP2C19 and CYP3A4 polymorphism are major components of PPI metabolism, the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of racemic mixture of PPIs depend on the CYP2C19 genotype status. S-omeprazole is relatively insensitive to CYP2C19, so better control of the intragastric pH is achieved. Similarly, R-lansoprazole was developed in order to increase the drug activity. Delayed-release formulation resulted in a longer duration of effective concentration of R-lansoprazole in blood, in addition to metabolic advantage. Thus, dexlansoprazole showed best control of the intragastric pH among the present PPIs. Overall, PPIs made significant progress in the management of acid-related diseases and improved health-related quality of life.
Estimating Trust Strength For Supporting Effective Recommendation Services (2011)

In the age of information explosion, Internet facilitates product searching and collecting much more convenient for users. However, it is time-consuming and exhausting for users to deal with large amounts of product information. In response, various recommendation approaches have been developed to recommend products that match usersâ preferences and requirements. In addition to the well-known collaborative filtering recommendation approach, the trust-based recommendation approach is the emerging one. The reason is that most of online communities allow users to express their trust on other users. Based on the analysis of trust relationships, the trust-based recommendation approach finds out and consults the opinions of more reliable users and therefore makes better recommendations. Existing trust-based recommendation techniques consider all trust relationships in a given trust network equally important and give them the same trust strength. However, in a real-world setting, trust relationships may be of various strengths. In response, in this study, we propose a mechanism for trust strength estimation on the basis of the machine learning approach and estimate the trust strength for each existing trust relationship in a given trust network. To overcome the sparsity of the trust network, we also develop a modified trust propagation method to expand the original trust network. Finally, we perform a series of experiments to demonstrate the performance of our trust-based recommendation approach based on the trust strength estimation mechanism. Our empirical evaluation results show that our proposed approach outperforms our benchmark techniques, i.e., the traditional collaborative filtering approach and the original trust-based one.
A fast d.f.t. algorithm using complex integer transforms (1978)

For certain large transform lengths, Winograd's algorithm for computing the discrete Fourier transform (d.f.t.) is extended considerably. This is accomplished by performing the cyclic convolution, required by Winograd's method, by a fast transform over certain complex integer fields developed previously by the authors. This new algorithm requires fewer multiplications than either the standard fast Fourier transform (f.f.t.) or Winograd's more conventional algorithm.

Open, randomized, multicenter trial of raltitrexed versus fluorouracil plus high-dose leucovorin in patients with advanced colorectal cancer. Tomudex Colorectal Cancer Study Group. (1998)

Raltitrexed is confirmed as an effective option in the first-line palliative management of ACC, with comparable efficacy to and tolerability advantages (in terms of reduced incidence of stomatitis, diarrhea, and leukopenia) over 5-FU/LV. Raltitrexed has the added convenience of an every 3 weeks dosing schedule.
Systematic analysis of bounds on power consumption in pipelined and non-pipelined multipliers (2002)

The paper presents a systematic theoretical approach for the analysis of bounds on power consumption in Baugh-Wooley, binary tree and Wallace tree multipliers. This is achieved by first developing state transition diagrams (STDs) for the sub circuits making up the multipliers. The STD is comprised of states and edges, with the edges representing a transition (switching activity) from one state to another in the sub circuit. Then, maximum (minimum) energy values associated with the edges constituting the STDs are used to derive the zipper (lower) bound in both non pipelined and p-bit level pipelined multipliers. It is shown that as p is decreased, the upper bound approaches the lower bound. Moreover, based on the theoretical analysis we conclude that the upper bound in a Baugh-Wooley multiplier has a cubic dependence on the word length, while that in a binary tree multiplier has a quadratic dependence on the word length.
Model Predictive Direct Torque Control for MV drives with LC filters (2009)

This document describes the implementation of the Model Predictive Direct Torque Control (MPDTC) algorithm for the control of three-phase induction motor drives comprising a three-level dc-link inverter with an output LC filter. As the filter introduces delays in the system, the motor torque and flux are no longer directly controllable. Therefore the inverter torque and flux are introduced and the MPDTC scheme is redesigned to keep them and the inverter's neutral point potential within given hysteresis bounds also according to today's state-of-the-art solution with DTC. Moreover the MPDTC control ob­jective is altered to target directly the reduction of the inverter switching losses rather than the switching frequency, resulting in a significant reduction of the switching losses with respect to standard DTC. Simulation results are provided, analyzing the benefits of MPDTC in terms of inverter switching losses reduction (which for 90% speed and full load amount to 22%) as opposed to a measure of the motor's losses, namely the motor's current and torque THD.
Massive Gastric Hemorrhage in a Neonate (1985)

MASSIVE upper gastrointestinal tract hemorrhage in the newborn, although rare, can be life threatening. We recently had the opportunity to diagnose and treat a 1-day-old infant with massive gastric hemorrhage by selective catheter placement and vasopressin infusion into the celiac axis through an umbilical artery catheter. <h3>Report of a Case</h3> A full-term, 3.85-kg, female infant was born to a 32-year-old, gravida 5, para 3 woman. Spontaneous labor began 12 hours before birth and was augmented with intravenous oxytocin (Pitocin). Artificial rupture of the membranes two hours before delivery revealed meconiumstained fluid. The baby was delivered vaginally, and initial Apgar scores were 7 and 9 at one and five minutes, respectively. Approximately 15 minutes after birth, the infant developed tachypnea and respiratory distress suspected to be secondary to meconium aspiration. Attempts to intubate and suction the meconium met with no success. There was increasingly labored breathing and lethargy. The initial blood

Complete Abolition of High Inoculum Threshold of Two Mycoherbicides (<i>Alternaria cassiae</i>and<i>A. crassa</i>) When Applied in Invert Emulsion (1990)

(...). The inoculum threshold of thousands of spores per square centimeter of leaf surface or tens to hundreds of spores per droplet has been expected and accepted. Evidence is presented that the high threshold concept does not hold with Alternaria cassiae and A. crassa, as one spore per 2-μl droplet was sufficient to infect plants of Cassia obtusifolia and Datura stramonium, respectively, when the droplet was an invert emulsion containig a 1μl mixture of oils and waxes on the outside and 1 μl of water, sodium alginate, and conidia on the inside. The intensity of infection always was enhanced by the emulsion (...)

Use of Fed-Batch Cultivation for Achieving High Cell Densities for the Pilot-Scale Production of a Recombinant Protein (Phenylalanine Dehydrogenase) in Escherichia coli (2006)

A fed-batch process for the high cell density cultivation of E. coli TG1 and the production of the recombinant protein phenylalanine dehydrogenase (PheDH) was developed. A model based on Monod kinetics with overflow metabolism and incorporating acetate utilization kinetics was used to generate simulations that describe cell growth, acetate production and reconsumption, and glucose consumption during fed-batch cultivation. Using these simulations a predetermined feeding profile was elaborated that would maintain carbon-limited growth at a growth rate below the critical growth rate for acetate formation (mu < mu(crit)). Two starvation periods are incorporated into the feed profile in order to induce acetate utilization. Cell concentrations of 53 g dry cell weight (DCW)/L were obtained with a final intracellular product concentration of recombinant protein corresponding to approximately 38% of the total cell protein. The yield of PheDH was 129 U/mL with a specific activity of 1.2 U/mg DCW and a maximum product formation rate of 0.41 U/mg DCW x h. The concentration of aectate was maintained below growth inhibitory levels until 3 h before the end of the fermentation when the concentration reached a maximum of 10.7 g/L due to IPTG induction of the recombinant protein.
Trehalose-6-Phosphate Synthase/Phosphatase Regulates Cell Shape and Plant Architecture in Arabidopsis (2007)

The vacuole occupies most of the volume of plant cells; thus, the tonoplast marker delta-tonoplast intrinsic protein-green fluorescent protein delineates cell shape, for example, in epidermis. This permits rapid identification of mutants. Using this strategy, we identified the cell shape phenotype-1 (csp-1) mutant in Arabidopsis thaliana. Beyond an absence of lobes in pavement cells, phenotypes included reduced trichome branching, altered leaf serration and stem branching, and increased stomatal density. This result from a point mutation in AtTPS6 encoding a conserved amino-terminal domain, thought to catalyze trehalose-6-phosphate synthesis and a carboxy-terminal phosphatase domain, is catalyzing a two-step conversion to trehalose. Expression of AtTPS6 in the Saccharomyces cerevisiae mutants tps1 (encoding a synthase domain) and tps2 (encoding synthase and phosphatase domains) indicates that AtTPS6 is an active trehalose synthase. AtTPS6 fully complemented defects in csp-1. Mutations in class I genes (AtTPS1-AtTPS4) indicate a role in regulating starch storage, resistance to drought, and inflorescence architecture. Class II genes (AtTPS5-AtTPS11) encode multifunctional enzymes having synthase and phosphatase activity. We show that class II AtTPS6 regulates plant architecture, shape of epidermal pavement cells, and branching of trichomes. Thus, beyond a role in development, we demonstrate that the class II gene AtTPS6 is important for controlling cellular morphogenesis.
Preparation and Prodrug Studies of Quercetin Pentabenzensulfonate (2008)

Pentabenzensulfonate (QPBS), a potential prodrug for quercetin, was designed and synthesized in high yield. It possesses better physical properties such as solubility, lipid/water partition coefficient, LogP, and hydrolysis kinetics than its original form. The LogP value (2.04) and the half-life of the hydrolysis value (3.85 h) show that oral bioavailability is improved evidently compared with that of quercetin. These results indicate that QPBS can be considered as a potential prodrug for quercetin.
