Editorial. (1910)

Not many years ago, Professor Royce argued with force and insight the need of a "middleman" whose task should be to mediate between the science of psychology and the art of teaching-a man of careful laboratory training and with an abiding interest in the problems of the schoolroom.The editors of this Journal believe that there is equal need of a "middle-magazine"-of a journal that shall afford a common meeting ground for the psychologist and the educator.We seek to supply the worker in the laboratory with a channel for the promulgation of those results of his investigation of mental life that bear, directly or indirectly, upon the problems of teaching, and we seek to enlist and stimulate the interest of schoolmen in the discussion of the varied and highly important problems of education that have psychological bearing.We regard, then, this Journal as a clearinghouse for the exchange of information upon all that concerns the relation of psychology to education.To accomplish this purpose, we propose to print in each issue a number of original contributions, to provide adequate space for discussions and communications upon matters of interest, to report as promptly as possible the news items which concern the workers in our field, and, finally, to make a special feature of accurate and useful reviews or digests that will serve to condense and coordinate the growing literature of educational psychology.We feel that such reviews will economize the time of those who are directly concerned in psychology, as well as of those many schoolmen who are ready and anxious to advance the cause of education, but who have neither the time nor the energy themselves to follow in technical journals the results of research and investigation.The term "Educational Psychology" will, for our purposes, be interpreted in a broad sense as covering all those phases of the study of mental life which concern education.Educational psychology will then be regarded as including not only the well-known field covered by the '"Vielmehr bietet aich in dieser Hinsicht noch ein reiches Feld kunf tiger Untersuchung, namentlich fur jiingere Krafte . . .
Hypocholesterolemic effect of triterpene alcohols with soysterol on plasma cholesterol in rats. (1983)

To identify the synergistic hypocholesterolemic substance found in soybean oil unsaponifiable matter, rats were fed diets containing various fractions of the unsaponifiable matter prepared by silicic acid column chromatography. The plasma cholesterol level of the group fed the alcohol fraction, which mainly consisted of triterpene alcohols, was significantly lower and the effect was synergistic with soysterol. So the effect of cycloartenol and 24-methylenecycloartanol, which are main constituents of triterpene alcohols in soybean oil unsaponifiable matter, was investigated. Both compounds were prepared from gamma-oryzanol (ferulate) and were added (0.05%) respectively to the experimental diet containing 0.5% cholesterol and 1% soysterol. It was observed that both cycloartenol and 24-methylenecycloartanol in combination with soysterol greatly reduced the plasma cholesterol and enhanced cholesterol excretion. This suggests that the hypocholesterolemic activity of dietary vegetable oils may account for not only their fatty acid compositions and sterol contents but also the synergistic hypocholesterolemic effect of triterpene alcohols.

COMODA: a conversation model for database access (1990)

Abstract As electronic database technology becomes less expensive, people will want to access information without undergoing special training. These people could use their native language if databases could be accessed through natural language conversations. The approach of the current research is that in order for the computer to be controlled by natural language, the computer does not have to understand it, only respond correctly. The conversation model for database access (COMODA) describes information retrieval as a dialogue. The dialogue is modelled by a series of states, where each state has an utterance that provides some information. The states are linked by transitions that are followed if a parse template matches the input sentence. Provisions are made for backtracking to earlier states, and for changes in topic. A small database of general information about one division of the Federal Government was implemented on an IBM-PC using these principles. When ten untrained people were allowed to converse with this database, 59% of their queries were answered correctly. All but one person said that they would use this type of database if more information was available. It was concluded that it is feasible to create a database of general information which can be accessed with natural language conversations by untrained users.
Software for Embedded Control Systems (2001)

The research of our team deals with the realization of control schemes on digital computers. As such the emphasis is on embedded control software implementation. Applications are in the field of mechatronic devices, using a mechatronic design approach (the integrated and optimal design of a mechanical system and its embedded control system). The ultimate goal is to support the application developer (i.e. mechatronic design engineer) such that implementing control software according to ðo it the first time right¿ becomes business as usual.

Concludes with practical implications for managers in business‐to‐business product or service firms.
[Level of tissue plasminogen activator protein in pulmonary artery in acute pulmonary thromboembolism in rabbit]. (2004)

There is significantly strong positive staining for t-PA in the pulmonary artery wall after pulmonary embolism, implying that the local fibrinolysis activity was enhanced, and it might be helpful for lysis of the embolus.
The Morphology of Macroscopic Soot (1996)

ABSTRACT The morphology of soot collected from a laminar acetylene/air diffusion flame was studied. Collection methods included both thermophoretic and impaction sampling from both the luminous and nonluminous portions of the flow. The soot was viewed with both electron and optical microscopy. Cluster sizes ranged over four orders of magnitude from 50 nm to 400 yam to include some clusters visible to the naked eye. A new method of micrograph analysis, necessary when the clusters were large, was developed to account for the unresolved primary particles. Over this entire size range, the same fractal morphology was found with a fractal dimension of D = 1.8 and, within a rather large uncertainty, the same prefactor k0=1.7. Thus, the fractal morphology of soot remains constant from clusters of about 10 primary particles per aggregate to macroscopic clusters of over 108 primary particles.
A nonlinearly processed array for enhanced azimuthal resolution (1968)

An array with both linear and nonlinear signal processing modes is described. Theoretical and experimental results obtained with operation in each mode are contrasted. It is found that there is little difference in the 3-dB beamwidth but that the 10-dB and 20-dB beamwidths are improved by the nonlinear processing to an appreciable degree. The nonlinear processing results in a scanning beam, which is essentially collimated from ranges of 6 to 16 inches with a 20-dB beamwidth of 0.06 inch using a nominal frequency of 2.5 MHz. Since most medical scanning systems must use a wide dynamic range, the improvements of the 10-dB and 20-dB beamwidths represent a significant improvement of the azimuthal resolution capability.
Novel Stem/Progenitor Cell Population from Murine Tracheal Submucosal Gland Ducts with Multipotent Regenerative Potential (2011)

The airway epithelium is in direct contact with the environment and therefore constantly at risk for injury. Basal cells (BCs) have been found to repair the surface epithelium (SE), but the contribution of other stem cell populations to airway epithelial repair has not been identified. We demonstrated that airway submucosal gland (SMG) duct cells, in addition to BCs, survived severe hypoxic-ischemic injury. We developed a method to isolate duct cells from the airway. In vitro and in vivo models were used to compare the self-renewal and differentiation potential of duct cells and BCs. We found that only duct cells were capable of regenerating SMG tubules and ducts, as well as the SE overlying the SMGs. SMG duct cells are therefore a multipotent stem cell for airway epithelial repair This is of importance to the field of lung regeneration as determining the repairing cell populations could lead to the identification of novel therapeutic targets and cell-based therapies for patients with airway diseases.
Exploring Liquid Computing in a Hardware Adaptation : Construction and Operation of a Neural Network Experiment (2005)

Future increases in computing power strongly rely on miniaturization, large scale integration, and parallelization. Yet, approaching the nanometer realm poses new challenges in terms of device reliability, power dissipation, and connectivity - issues that have been of lesser concern in today's prevailing microprocessor implementations. It is therefore necessary to pursue the research on alternative computing architectures and strategies that can make use of large numbers of unreliable devices and only have a moderate power consumption. This thesis describes the construction of an experiment dedicated to exploring silicon adaptations of artificial neural network paradigms for their general applicability, power efficiency, and fault-tolerance. The presented setup comprises peripheral electronics, programmable logic, and software to accommodate a mixed-signal CMOS microchip implementing a flexible perceptron with 256 McCulloch-Pitts neurons. This neural network experiment is used to explore a recent strategy that allows to access the power of recurrent network topologies. While it has been conjectured that this liquid computing is suited for hardware implementations, this first time adaptation to a CMOS neural network affirms this claim. Not only feasibility but also tolerance to substrate variations and robustness to faults during operation are demonstrated.
Single sensor active noise cancellation based on the EM algorithm (1992)

The authors develop an approach to active noise cancellation using a single microphone. The noise field is modelled as a stochastic process, and a time-adaptive algorithm based on a modification of the block-estimate-maximize (EM) algorithm is used to adaptively estimate the parameters of this process. Based on these parameter estimates a canceling signal is generated. The algorithm developed is evaluated with recordings of aircraft noise, and has been implemented in real time with a single AT&T DSP32C chip.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>

Efficient Synthesis of 4-Acylisoxazole Derivatives from Triformylmethane (1988)

We show that a number of 4-substituted isoxazoles (4-cyano, 4-ethoxy-carbonyl) can be prepared efficiently from either triformylmethane or its trisdimethylimino precursor. We also report the preparation of cyano(formyl)acetamidine, a compound containing three different functional groups attached to one carbon atom.
Influence of eddy current, Maxwell and gradient field corrections on 3D flow visualization of 3D CINE PC-MRI data (2013)

This study suggests that the correction of phase offset errors can be important for a more reliable visualization of particle traces but is strongly dependent on the velocity sensitivity, object geometry, and gradient coil design.
Segmentation of Handwritten Gurmukhi Text into Lines (2012)

Text line segmentation is an essential pre-processing stage for handwriting recognition in many Optical Character Recognition (OCR) systems. It is an important step because inaccurately segmented text lines will cause errors in the recognition stage. Text line segmentation of the handwritten documents is still one of the most complicated problems in developing a reliable OCR. The nature of handwriting makes the process of text line segmentation very challenging. Text characteristics 3can vary in font, size, shape, style, orientation, alignment, texture, color, contrast and background information. These variations turn the process of word detection complex and difficult [2]. In the case of handwritten documents, differently from machine printed, the complexity of the problem even increases. Since handwritten text can vary greatly depending on the user skill, disposition and even cultural background. A new technique to segment a handwritten document into distinct lines of text is presented. The proposed method is
Guided-wave planar optical interconnects using highly multiplexed polymer waveguide holograms (1992)

An intraplanar interconnection scheme using substrate guided modes in conjunction with a highly multiplexed waveguide volume hologram is proposed. Acoustooptically addressed 1-to-50 passive and 1-to-2-to-100 reconfigurable interconnections with a fan-out diffraction efficiency of 55% at 514-nm wavelength are demonstrated. A coordinate transformation converts the 3-D diffraction problem into a 2-D one, which significantly simplifies the theoretical calculation. Intraplane massive fan-out optical interconnection using substrate guided mode provides both collinear and coplanar fan-out capability for data and clock signals. Colinearity of signal distribution allows the 2-D input signal array to be processes. The laminated waveguide device containing a highly multiplexed dichromated gelatin (DCG) hologram has been evaluated.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>
Integrated Circuit Production with Electron Beams (1973)

The merits of two electron-beam systems are discussed, one for mask generation and the other for wafer alignment and exposure. The performance characteristics of both systems are described, including problems involved with IC fabrication. Results of resolution, distortion, and alignment studies are given on both systems. The single-beam mask generator employs a field-emission source, and the performance advantages and disadvantages of this source for microfabrication are detailed. The field-emission source is imaged by an electrostatic lens at a 10-cm working distance. The characteristics of the focusing and deflection system are given. Parameters such as writing speed, beam current, resolution, and area of coverage are compared to conventional electron sources and performance results are reported. The performance of both cold and thermal field-emitters is also discussed. The electron projection system which utilizes a noble-metal patterned photocathode electron source is described. Electron-optical characteristics of the projection system are discussed, including results of alignment and distortion tests. The research model as well as the fully automated electron-projection system designed to process up to 100 wafers per hour are described.
Oat Starch Part 1. Extraction, Purification and Pasting Properties (1977)

Abstract Starches have been isolated from a wide range of oat cultivars and their cooking behaviour determined with the new Ottawa Starch Viscometer. Gelatinization is typical of cereal starches but cooked granules appear more shear sensitive than corn, wheat or rice starch. The behaviour of oat starches on cooling shows striking differences from most other starches. High viscosity is rapidly developed and the cooled gels are clearer, less firm, more elastic, more adhesive and less susceptible to retrogradation than other cereal starches.
Complete amino acid sequence of 33 kDa protein isolated from spinach photosystem II particles (1986)

The amino acid sequence of the 33 kDa protein isolated as an extrinsic protein from spinach photosystem II particles was determined by using solid‐phase sequencing and conventional procedures. The 33 kDa protein was found to be composed of 248 amino acid residues, to lack histidine and to have a molecular mass of 26 663 Da, which was considerably smaller than the value deduced from SDS‐polycrylamide gel electrophoresis. The sequence of the 33 kDa protein was compared with those of the bacterial Superoxide dismutases (SOD) with Mn atoms at an active site. A part of the sequence of the 33 kDa protein was similar to a region in Mn‐SODs from Bacillus stearothermophilus and Escherichia coli , which was expected to be the Mn‐binding site.
ISOMERIZATION OF PARAFFIN MIXTURES PRODUCED FROM SUNFLOWER OIL (2011)

The importance of biofuels becomes more acute, especially in the European Union. Beside them, the bio gas oil is a promising product that is a fuel with high isoparaffin content in the gas oil boiling range, which can be produced by the catalytic hydrogenation of different triglycerides. In this paper the isomerization of different intermediate products obtained over different hydrogenation catalysts and having high n-paraffin content was studied on SAPO-11 catalyst at 300–380 °C temperature, 20–80 bar pressure, 0.5–3.0 h-1 of liquid space velocity and 400 Nm3/m3 of H2/feed ratio. It was found that the oxygen containing intermediate products significantly changed the degree ofisomerization, but the hydrocarbon composition and the aromatic content of the n-paraffin mixtures had no noticeable effect on the conversion. During the experiments excellent quality diesel gas oil blending components were produced with high i-paraffin content and they were practically free of heteroatom content.
Patient-specific IMRT verification using independent fluence-based dose calculation software: experimental benchmarking and initial clinical experience (2007)

Experimental methods are commonly used for patient-specific intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) verification. The purpose of this study was to investigate the accuracy and performance of independent dose calculation software (denoted as 'MUV' (monitor unit verification)) for patient-specific quality assurance (QA). 52 patients receiving step-and-shoot IMRT were considered. IMRT plans were recalculated by the treatment planning systems (TPS) in a dedicated QA phantom, in which an experimental 1D and 2D verification (0.3 cm(3) ionization chamber; films) was performed. Additionally, an independent dose calculation was performed. The fluence-based algorithm of MUV accounts for collimator transmission, rounded leaf ends, tongue-and-groove effect, backscatter to the monitor chamber and scatter from the flattening filter. The dose calculation utilizes a pencil beam model based on a beam quality index. DICOM RT files from patient plans, exported from the TPS, were directly used as patient-specific input data in MUV. For composite IMRT plans, average deviations in the high dose region between ionization chamber measurements and point dose calculations performed with the TPS and MUV were 1.6 +/- 1.2% and 0.5 +/- 1.1% (1 S.D.). The dose deviations between MUV and TPS slightly depended on the distance from the isocentre position. For individual intensity-modulated beams (total 367), an average deviation of 1.1 +/- 2.9% was determined between calculations performed with the TPS and with MUV, with maximum deviations up to 14%. However, absolute dose deviations were mostly less than 3 cGy. Based on the current results, we aim to apply a confidence limit of 3% (with respect to the prescribed dose) or 6 cGy for routine IMRT verification. For off-axis points at distances larger than 5 cm and for low dose regions, we consider 5% dose deviation or 10 cGy acceptable. The time needed for an independent calculation compares very favourably with the net time for an experimental approach. The physical effects modelled in the dose calculation software MUV allow accurate dose calculations in individual verification points. Independent calculations may be used to replace experimental dose verification once the IMRT programme is mature.

Thermal diffusivity of solids by photoacoustic cell rotation and phase lag measurement (1995)

A single-beam photoacoustic phase lag measurement is demonstrated for determining the thermal diffusivity α of solid samples. The method involves measurement of the phase difference of the photoacoustic signal between front and rear surface illuminations at a single chopping frequency with the same light beam. Results on representative samples, with widely different thermal properties, show very good agreement with literature values. Temperature variation of α can also be measured with the setup.
The Absorption, Distribution and Excretion of Anabolic Agents (1983)

The metabolic fate of the anabolic agents, diethylstilbestrol, hexestrol, trenbolone acetate, zeranol and the endogenous steroids are discussed under the headings absorption, distribution and excretion. There is an optimum concentration of anabolic agent in the systemic circulation that results in a maximum increase in growth rate of farm animals. This optimum blood concentration should be maintained over a long period. However, there is rapid metabolism and excretion of anabolic agents with short half-lives in blood, and metabolic clearance rate equals entry rate. The rate of absorption of the agent, which is determined by formulation and site of administration, is most important and is best achieved by the use of slow release implants. The pattern of exponential absorption from compressed pellets of single anabolic agents is not ideal, and a more constant payout of drug, in particular estradiol-17 beta, is best achieved in combined preparations of agents or from silicone rubber implants impregnated with the agent. The high metabolic clearance rate and rapid excretion of anabolic substances influences the distribution of residues. Outside the site of administration, less than 1% of the administered dose is present in the animal. The lowest concentrations of residues are found in muscle and fat, higher concentrations are present in liver and kidney and the highest concentrations are in the bile, urine and feces.
