Pigment Ink Formulation for Inkjet Printing of Different Textile Materials (2013)

Cotton, polyester, and cotton polyester blended woven fabrics were printed using an ink jet print using by means of a prepared pigment ink. Literature indicated that the development of insoluble pigment-based inks presents enormous challenges to the ink formulator. Meanwhile, pigments face several application problems in terms of their dispersion stability within the ink formulation, and consequently blocking the nozzles within the inkjet print head. Upon this, Two pigment colors : M.D. Blue 15:3 and Daicofast Yellow 1252 were successfully formulated and factors affecting the final color yield of inkjet printed fabrics such as, pigment concentration and other ink contents: dispersing agent, ethylene glycol and diammonium Phosphate concentrations, thermo-fixation time and temperature for the three printed substrates pretreated with binder were investigated in detail. The study was done on two route bases, first: the preparation of pigmented inks for inkjet printing and the application of the ink on the three substrates, in order to determine the optimum concentration of pigment ink contents. Second: increasing the wash and crocking fastness properties of the printed fabrics with pigment inks. In addition, the two pigment inks physical properties: density, viscosity and surface tension were measured as well as fastness levels of their prints.
SSH Compromise Detection using NetFlow/IPFIX (2014)

Flow-based approaches for SSH intrusion detection have been developed to overcome the scalability issues of host-based alternatives. Although the detection of many SSH attacks in a flow-based fashion is fairly straightforward, no insight is typically provided in whether an attack was successful. We address this shortcoming by presenting a detection algorithm for the flow-based detection of compromises, i.e., hosts that have been compromised during an attack. Our algorithm has been implemented as part of our open-source IDS SSHCure and validated using almost 100 servers, workstations and honeypots, featuring an accuracy close to 100%.
A Review on the Behaviour of Combined Stone Columns and Pile Foundations in Soft Soils when Placed under Rigid Raft Foundation (2021)

In the last few decades, it has been observed that raft foundations are very commonly used as a foundation solution for moderate to high rise structures either by resting on stone columns or on piles in soft soils. It is believed that, combining stone columns and piles in one foundation system is the more suitable foundation for medium rise structures. The combined foundation system provides a superior and more economical alternative to pile, and a more attractive alternative to stone columns in respect to ground improvement. This paper presents the review of existing studies reported in the literature in the last two decades about the behaviour of stone columns under raft foundations and piled raft foundation in soft soil, notably the failure mechanism and the bearing capacity. Also, a limited work from the literature concerning the performance of combined (pile/stone columns) foundation system in soft soil is comprised. Furthermore, very extensive ongoing research work regarding the investigation and study on the performance of combined (pile/stone columns) foundation system in soft soils is discussed. The main goals and methodology to study the performance of the combined (pile/stone columns) foundation systems in soft soil are also addressed.
Clinical Assessment of Object Relations and Social Cognition Using Stories Told to the Picture Arrangement Subtest of the WAIS-R (1993)

For many years clinicians have supplemented the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale-Revised (WAIS-R; Wechsler, 1981) Picture Arrangement (PA) subtest by asking subjects to "tell the story" made by the sequence of cards. Doing so allows assessment of the underlying reasoning behind the subject's response and adds a projective element to the task. This article describes a method for systematically assessing several dimensions of object relations and social cognition from the stories subjects tell to the PA subtest. Six scales, which have been validated in several studies, are described: Episode Integration, Accuracy of Causal Attributions, Affect-Tone of Relationship Paradigms, Capacity for Emotional Investment in Relationships and Moral Standards, Complexity of Representations, and Accuracy of Character Ascriptions. Evidence for convergent and discriminant validity is presented by comparing PA scale scores of reliably diagnosed borderline inpatients, depressed inpatients, and normal comparison subjects, with scores from self-report instruments measuring symptomatology and social adjustment. Clinical use of the scales is then illustrated by applying them to PA story texts of a borderline patient and a normal subject.
Thombospondin-1 Disrupts Estrogen-Induced Endothelial Cell Proliferation and Migration and Its Expression Is Suppressed by Estradiol (2004)

The natural hormone 17beta-estradiol (17beta-E2) is known to induce tumor angiogenesis in various target organs by activating positive regulators of angiogenesis. In this study, we show for the first time that in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs), 17beta-E2 transiently down-regulates the expression and secretion of a potent negative regulator of angiogenesis, thrombospondin-1 (TSP-1). This inhibitory effect of 17beta-E2 is mediated through nongenomic estrogen receptor (ER)/mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK)/extracellular-regulated kinase (ERK) 1/2 and c-Jun NH(2)-terminal kinase (JNK)/stress-activated protein kinase (SAPK) signaling pathways, because this effect can be abolished by a pure ER antagonist (ICI 182,780) and inhibitors of downstream signaling proteins of MAPK signaling cascades, including MAPK kinase 1/2 and ERK1/2 inhibitor and JNK/SAPK inhibitor. To understand the functional role(s) of TSP-1 during estradiol-induced angiogenesis, we examined the growth and migration of endothelial cells in different experimental environments. Using a recombinant protein, we show that increments of TSP-1 protein concentration in culture medium significantly reduce the migration and proliferation of HUVECs stimulated by 17beta-E2. Together, these studies suggest that TSP-1 can be considered an important negative factor in understanding the increased angiogenesis in response to estrogens.
Covert face recognition without prosopagnosia. (1993)

An experiment is reported where subjects were presented with familiar or unfamiliar faces for supraliminal durations or for durations individually assessed as being below the threshold for recognition. Their electrodermal responses to each stimulus were measured and the results showed higher peak amplitude skin conductance responses for familiar than for unfamiliar faces, regardless of whether they had been displayed supraliminally or subliminally. A parallel is drawn between elevated skin conductance responses to subliminal stimuli and findings of covert recognition of familiar faces in prosopagnosic patients, some of whom show increased electrodermal activity (EDA) to previously familiar faces. The supraliminal presentation data also served to replicate similar work by Tranel et al (1985). The results are considered alongside other data indicating the relation between non-conscious, "automatic" aspects of normal visual information processing and abilities which can be found to be preserved without awareness after brain injury.
Bacterial attachment and biofilm formation on surfaces are reduced by small-diameter nanoscale pores: how small is small enough? (2015)

We demonstrate that anodic nanoporous surfaces can effectively reduce bacterial attachment. These findings are expected to have immediate, far-reaching implications and commercial applications, primarily in health care and the food industry.

A Cell Culture System for Study of the Development of <i>Toxoplasma gondii</i> Bradyzoites (1995)

Toxoplasma gondii is a ubiquitous apicomplexan parasite and a major opportunistic pathogen under AIDS-induced conditions, where it causes encephalitis when the bradyzoite (cyst) stage is reactivated. A bradyzoite-specific Mab, 74.1.8, reacting with a 28 kDa antigen, was used to study bradyzoite development in vitro by immuno-electron microscopy and immunofluorescence in human fibroblasts infected with ME49 strain T. gondii. Bradyzoites were detected in tissue culture within 3 days of infection. Free floating cyst-like structures were also identified. Western blotting demonstrated the expression of bradyzoite antigens in these free-floating cysts as well as in the monolayer. Bradyzoite development was increased by using media adjusted to pH 6.8 or 8.2. The addition of gamma-interferon at day 3 of culture while decreasing the total number of cysts formed prevented tachyzoite overgrowth and enabled study of in vitro bradyzoites for up to 25 days. The addition of IL-6 increased the number of cysts released into the medium and increased the number of cysts formed at pH 7.2. Confirmation of bradyzoite development in vitro was provided by electron microscopy. It is possible that the induction of an acute phase response in the host cell may be important for bradyzoite differentiation. This system should allow further studies on the effect of various agents on the development of bradyzoites.
Mechanism of thyroid peroxidase inhibition by ethylenethiourea (1990)

Ethylenethiourea (ETU) is a thyroid carcinogen present in foods formed by degradation and metabolism of ethylenebis[dithiocarbamate] fungicides. ETU inhibits thyroid peroxidase (TPX), the enzyme that catalyzes synthesis of thyroid hormones. Inhibition of TPX-catalyzed reactions by ETU occurs only in the presence of iodide ion with concomitant oxidative metabolism to imidazoline and bisulfite ion. Inhibition ceases upon consumption of ETU with no loss of enzymatic activity and negligible covalent binding of ETU to TPX. TPX inhibition by ETU is unlike that for derivatives of imidazoline-2-thione, which cause suicide inactivation via covalent binding to the prosthetic heme group. These results demonstrate a metabolic route for detoxication of ETU in the thyroid and suggest that low-level or intermittent exposure to ETU would have minimal effects on thyroid hormone production.
Nonlinear chirp compensation in high-power broad-spectrum pulses from single-stripe mode-locked laser diodes (1995)

We report on the generation of ultra-short high-energy pulses from extended-cavity mode-locked laser diodes by using single-stripe AlGaAs laser devices of long cavity length (1 and 2 mm). The pulse energy is shown to increase with the laser diode length while the spectral width of emitted pulses is decreased in the same time. Record pulse energies of /spl ap/50 pJ are obtained from 2 mm long lasers and super-broad mode-locked spectra of /spl ap/20 mm are achieved with 1 mm long lasers. Strongly nonlinear chirps are always observed in the case of mode-locked pulses whose spectral width exceeds 10 mm. After quadratic chirp compensation, 160 fs pulses are obtained with peak power larger than 100 W. These performances are believed to be the best ever reported for mode-locked single-stripe laser diodes without external amplification.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>
A model to quantify the anticipatory response in cats (2011)

Abstract The aim of this paper was to develop a protocol to study the anticipatory response in cats as a measure of welfare. Seven experimental cats were trained in a classical conditioning paradigm to associate a sound with food arrival, while sound and food were presented without contingency in four control cats. Increasing the interval between sound and food up to 60 s allowed a detailed description of cats’ anticipatory response. Compared to control animals, experimental cats showed significantly shorter latencies to orient towards (average 2.96 s) and approach the source of the sound (12.98 s) as well as longer durations of exploring and standing by the source of the sound (namely 69.97 and 52.32%, respectively of the interval sound-food). Experimental cats also exhibited behaviours that may derive from predation patterns, eg short pauses and predatory crouch while approaching the source of the sound (namely in 28.93 and 29.64% of trials), rapid head movements while watching it (55.36% of trials) and pouncing on the food (9.29% of trials). This protocol should be further studied to assess its effectiveness in highlighting differences according to the welfare of individual cats.
Scalable nonadiabatic holonomic quantum computation on a superconducting qubit lattice (2019)

Geometric phase is an indispensable element for achieving robust and high-fidelity quantum gates due to its built-in noise-resilience feature. However, due to the complexity of manipulation and the intrinsic leakage of the encoded quantum information to a non-logical-qubit basis, the experimental realization of universal nonadiabatic holonomic quantum computation is very difficult. Here we propose to implement scalable nonadiabatic holonomic quantum computation with a decoherence-free subspace encoding on a two-dimensional square superconducting transmon-qubit lattice, where only the two-body interaction of neighboring qubits, from the simplest capacitive coupling, is needed. Meanwhile, we introduce qubit-frequency driving to achieve tunable resonant coupling for the neighboring transmon qubits, and thus avoid the leakage problem. In addition, our presented numerical simulation shows that high-fidelity quantum gates can be obtained, verifying the advantages of the robustness and scalability of our scheme. Therefore, our scheme provides a promising way towards the physical implementation of robust and scalable quantum computation.
Infection of the Norway lobster Nephrons norvegicus by a Hematodinium-iike species of dinoflagellate on the west coast of Scotland (1992)

Nephrops norvegicus (L.) from fishing grounds on the west coast of Scotland has been found to harbour infection by a species of parasitic dinoflagellate. Chromosome morphology and ultrastructural features suggest that the parasite is a member of the botanical order Syndiniales, possibly related to Hematodinium perezi Chatton & Poisson 1931. Cells invading the haemal spaces, however, show no signs of flagella. Mode of transmission IS not yet known, and a flagellate spore stage has not been identified. Infection appears to be fatal to its host, the main cause of death possibly being disruption of gas transport and tissue anoxia caused by the proliferation of large numbers of dinoflagellate cells in the haemolymph. Severe infection has an adverse effect on meat quality that has provoked comment from fisherman and processors. Affected lobsters have been found at all west coast sites surveyed, with peak infection rates reaching 70 % of trawled samples. Infection occurrence shows marked seasonality coincident with the annual moult perlod of N. norvegicus. An increased prevalence of infection has been observed recently in some areas.
A 3.5 ns, 64 bit, carry-lookahead adder (2002)

A 3.5 ns, 64 bit, carry-lookahead adder has been designed in full-custom domino logic and manufactured in a standard 1 /spl mu/m CMOS technology featuring two metal levels. The adder has a novel array structure which represents a variant of the architecture suggested by Brent and Kung. As opposed to the latter, however, it does not require the back propagation of the signals which is necessary for the intermediate carry bits; hence only log/sub 2/ n logic levels are employed for the generation of all the carry signals. Furthermore, the structure is highly regular and modular and can be assembled with n log/sub 2/ n identical cells with a fan-out of 2. Therefore, a compact circuit is achieved with excellent performance. The occupied area is 3370/spl times/482 /spl mu/m/sup 2/ with a worst-case 650 mW power dissipation at 100 MHz.
Effect on Classification Error of Random Permutations of Features in Representing Multivariate Data by Faces (1975)

Abstract A graphical method of representing multivariate data consists of drawing a cartoon of a face determined by 18 parameters. A sample of vector observations of dimension d ≤ 18 is converted to faces by assigning components of the vector to facial parameters. We report an experiment which estimates that the effect of a random permutation in the assignment of parameters may affect the error rate in a classification task using these faces by a factor of about 25 percent.
EFFECT OF ABSCISIC ACID AND BENZYL ADENINE ON THE INORGANIC AND ORGANIC COMPOSITION OF THE DUCKWEED, <i>LEMNA GIBBA</i> L. (1978)

SUMMARY The inhibition of growth of Lemna gibba fronds by abscisic acid is accompanied by typical changes in mineral composition such that the ratios of phosphorus to iron and potassium to calcium are lowered compared with normal growing fronds. Benzyl adenine added with abscisic acid tends to reduce these changes and re‐establish growth causing the above ratios to be increased.
The Influence of Orlistat on the Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics of Glyburide in Healthy Volunteers (1995)

To assess the influence of orlistat on the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics (the blood glucose-lowering effect) of glyburide, an open-label, placebo-controlled, randomized, two-way crossover study was done in 12 healthy male volunteers. Each subject received single 5-mg oral doses of glyburide (Micronase; The Upjohn Company, Kalamazoo, MI) on the fifth day of treatment with placebo (treatment A) and 80-mg orlistat (treatment B) three times a day for 4 1/3 days; the two treatments were separated by a five-day washout period. Serial blood samples were collected before and at appropriate intervals after each glyburide dose to determine plasma concentrations and blood glucose levels. Values of Cmax and AUC of glyburide showed an equality of the two treatments by the analysis of variance. There was an apparent correlation between blood glucose level and the logarithm of plasma glyburide concentration; this relationship appeared to not be altered when glyburide was administered with orlistat. In conclusion, orlistat administered at doses of 80-mg three times daily does not significantly alter the pharmacokinetics and blood glucose-lowering effect of a single 5-mg oral dose of glyburide in healthy volunteers.
Multistage coding and decoding for a M-PSK system (2002)

Punctured convolutional codes are applied to a sequence of subsets of the signal set which is coded using block and/or convolutional codes in the Gaussian channel. The maximum-likelihood metric for the different stages of multistage decoding are derived. Simulation results and bounds for coded 4-PSK (phase-shift keying) show a gain over classical coding at the same bit-error rate (BER) and the same coding rate. It can also be shown that the BER of the first decoded stage is far away from its asymptotic limit at moderate BER (10/sup -4/-10/sup -6/). Therefore the simple gain formula used in the literature is not useful in this range.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>
Review: Is There a Place for Antacids in the Treatment of Helicobacter pylori Infection? (1992)

Two pilot studies were performed to determine whether aluminium-containing antacids may have a place in the treatment of Helicobacter pylori infection. The urease activity of H. pylori is cytopathic to gastric epithelium, and inhibition of this enzyme may have therapeutic potential. In the first study 24 subjects, 12 of which were infected with H. pylori, were given 1 tablet of chewable aluminium hydroxide-containing antacids 10 min before a 14C-urea breath test. Gastric urease activity was suppressed by 33.3% (p = 0.02) in the H. pylori-positive subjects (none became negative) within 40 min after administration of the tablet. Gastric H. pylori infection can be effectively eradicated by triple regimens containing bismuth salts, tetracycline, and metronidazole. Owing to adverse effects of this treatment and concern for possible neurotoxicity of bismuth, a bismuth substitute is warranted. Hence, in the second study, 20 subjects infected with H. pylori were treated with 1 antacid tablet 4 times daily between meals, plus 500 mg oxytetracycline and 200 mg metronidazole 4 times daily with meals for 2 weeks. Individual H. pylori status was assessed by the 14C-urea breath test. Four weeks after cessation of treatment, H. pylori was eradicated in 45% (9 of 20) of the subjects (95% confidence interval, 23.1-68.5%). Thirty per cent (6 of 20) observed one or more adverse effect regarded as moderate or severe, of which loose stools and headache were the most common.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
Stool Trypsin and Chymotrypsin (1966)

THE DIAGNOSIS of cystic fibrosis is classically based on a clinical picture of recurrent respiratory involvement in the form of cough, wheezing, and respiratory distress, and gastrointestinal signs of frequent, bulky, foul stools and hyperphagia. Confirmation of the diagnosis has depended on the demonstration of the elevation of sweat-sodium chloride and deficiency of pancreatic enzymes. In the past decade the ease and reliability of the sweat test has led to its use and substitution for the duodenal intubation for pancreatic enzymes. While some have completely stopped the appraisal of pancreatic insufficiency, others have utilized indirect techniques for assessment of digestive defect, eg, lipoidol excretion, stool trypsin by film test, radioactive fat absorption and excretion, and various absorption tests. With increasing experience in the differential diagnosis of cystic fibrosis, it has become apparent that there are a number of instances where the sweat test for sodium or chloride falls within the
Nontargeted Urinary Metabolite Profiling of a Mouse Model of Crohn’s Disease (2009)

Crohn's disease is an inflammatory disorder of the bowel, believed to arise from the dysregulation of intestinal mucosal immunity. The interleukin-10-deficient (IL10-/-) mouse, which develops intestinal inflammation in the presence of gut microflora, serves as a mouse model of Crohn's disease. Nontargeted urinary metabolite profiling was carried out to identify systemic metabolic changes associated with the development of intestinal inflammation caused by IL10-deficiency. Spot urine samples, collected from IL10-/- and wildtype mice at ages 5.5, 7, 8.5, and 10.5 weeks old were analyzed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GCMS). The data were analyzed using XCMS software, multiple t tests, and ANOVA. Among the key metabolic differences detected were elevated urinary levels of xanthurenic acid and fucose in IL10-/- mice relative to wildtype, indicating upregulation of tryptophan catabolism and perturbed fucosylation in IL10-/- mice. Three short-chain dicarboxylic acid metabolites were decreased in urine of IL10-/- mice relative to wildtype, suggesting the downregulation of fatty acid oxidation in IL10-/- mice. These metabolic differences were reproducible in an independent set of mice. This study demonstrates that nontargeted GCMS metabolite profiling of IL10-/- mice can provide insights into the metabolic effects of IL10-deficiency and identify potential markers of intestinal inflammation.
The Framingham prediction rule is not valid in a European population of treated hypertensive patients (2002)

The Framingham models should not be used to predict absolute CHD risk in the European population as a whole. However, these models may be used within each country, provided that cut-off points defining high-risk patients have been determined within each country.
