Biological Treatment of Trichloroethylene (1987)

Trichloroethylene and related compounds such as cis- and trans-1,2-dichloroethylene and vinyl chloride are common contaminants of ground water in industrial areas. In oxygenated ground water, these compounds are generally resistant to biodegradation. It has been recently shown that these compounds can be cometabolized by bacteria that oxidize gaseous hydrocarbons such as methane or propane. The hydrocarbon-oxidizing bacteria excrete the corresponding epoxide, which rearranges or hydrolyzes to other compounds. Then these products are degraded to carbon dioxide by other naturally occurring bacteria. This cometabolism forms the basis for an innovative biotechnology to reclaim ground water. Currently, a field study of trichloroethylene degradation is being carried out in a shallow semi-confined aquifer in the Santa Clara Valley of California. This field study has good control on dilution of contaminants due to dispersion, and on removal of trichloroethylene through nonbiological processes.
Nonlinear Quenching in a Monolithically Integrated Semiconductor Laser Logic Device (1989)

A semiconductor laser logic device with GaAs/Al 0.3 Ga 0.7 As double heterostructure is fabricated. A main laser and a control laser are monolithically integrated in the cross-coupled structure in order to bring about optical quenching. This monolithic device is not only capable of conventional linear quenching but also new nonlinear quenching by the in-homogeneous current injection of the control laser. It can be used as a digital optical inverter having small trigger energy. The maximum efficiency of nonlinear quenching is 0.67 times that of the direct modulation of the main laser and 13 times that of linear quenching. Compared to conventional optical inverters based on optical quenching, this nonlinear quenching will improve the efficiency significantly.
Synergism between genome sequencing, tandem mass spectrometry and bio-inspired synthesis reveals insights into nocardioazine B biogenesis (2015)

Correction for 'Synergism between genome sequencing, tandem mass spectrometry and bio-inspired synthesis reveals insights into nocardioazine B biogenesis' by Norah Alqahtani et al., Org. Biomol. Chem., 2015, 13, 7177-7192.
[Immunologic relations between cattle and ticks, specifically between cattle and Boophilus microplus]. (1976)

In the present investigation, it has been demonstrated that cattle become resistant to ticks after several heavy infestations, particularly with B. microplus. During development of the infestations, antibodies against salivary glands of B. microplus were detected using 2 techniques: indirect immunofluorescence and immunoelectrophoresis. There is a positive causal relationship between antibody titer and resistance development. Two precipitating systems against B. microplus in infested cattle and 7 systems in immunized rabbits were studied. The systems 1 and 2 are similar in cattle and rabbits, but system 2 does not show any specificity, as it has been detected in cattle completely lacking tick infestations. Two one-day calves were treated with the antigen of B. microplus by injection of salivary glands and repeated infestations with a small number of larvae. They developed a pronounced resistance to the usual subsequent infestations by the ticks of the same species. Specific antibodies were found before the first usual infestation. This suggests that they might be responsible for resistance.
Ocular rigidity: biomechanical role, <i>in vivo</i> measurements and clinical significance (2012)

Ocular rigidity (OR) refers to the relationship between pressure and volume changes in the eyeball. Since the description of the differential tonometry method for the calculation of an OR coefficient by Friedenwald, several other methodologies have been proposed to measure OR, including the anterior chamber manometry, axial length (AL) changes, measurement of pulse amplitude and fundus pulse, ultrasound elastography and evaluation of corneal hysteresis. However, most of these methodologies suffer from deficiencies, such as invasive nature, poor accuracy or reproducibility or technical complexity. Nevertheless, it is possible that OR affects the pathogenesis and clinical course of a variety of ocular conditions, including glaucoma, age-related macular degeneration, presbyopia, corneal changes following refractive surgery as well as the accuracy of IOP measurements by many tonometers. Thus, the future development of non-invasive and easy-to-use methodologies for the accurate measurement of OR in the every-day practice would be clinically important.

Fällanden ZH-Usserriet : zum Übergangsbereich Spätmesolithikum-Frühneolithikum in der Schweiz (1997)

Le materiel siliceux presente dans cet article provient exclusivement de ramassages de surface effectues a Fallanden ZH-Usserriet. L'etude typologique permet de le placer a la 2 e moitie du 6 e millenaire av. J.-C., periode encore mal connue en Suisse. Les elements caracteristiques en sont les pointes de Bavans, diverses formes microlithiques de trapezes, des lames Montbani, ainsi qu'un pourcentage eleve de grattoirs. Les formes intermediaires entre les trapezes et les pointes de Bavans sont particulierement interessantes, puisque ces dernieres sont connues en Europe de l'ouest principalement : les trouvailles realisees sur le territoire suisse se situent donc a la limite sud-est de la zone de repartition. La technique de debitage est axee sur la production de lames regulieres, comme le montre le pourcentage eleve de lames a talon facette ne presentant pas de reduction dorsale. L'ensemble du complexe s'inscrit dans la tradition locale du Mesolithique recent. Les elements novateurs reperes dans l'inventaire lithique de Fallanden-Usserriet sont sans doute d'origine occidentale et ont abouti a une modification progressive de certains types d'outils. Comme l'attestent les complexes comparables a celui de Fallanden- Usserriet, ainsi que des decouvertes isolees de pointes de Bavans sur le Plateau Suisse et dans le Jura, le Neolithique ancien s'est developpe sur un substrat mesolithique autochtone. Les groupes humains implantes dans ces regions avaient donc sans doute deja passe a un nouveau mode de production au cours de la 2 e moitie du 6 e millenaire. Les resultats de la paleobotanique et de l'archeologie viennent corroborer cette hypothese (cf. a ce sujet l'article Emy-Rodmann/Gross et al. dans ce volume). Est-ce une importante pression demographique, conduisant a la precarite des ressources, qui a incite les populations mesolithiques a passer a une economie de production? La question doit r

Influence of the AlN interlayer crystal quality on the strain evolution of GaN layer grown on Si (111) (2007)

The strain evolution in metal organic chemical vapor deposition growth of GaN on Si (111) substrate with an AlN interlayer is studied. During the growth of GaN film on AlN interlayer, the growth stress changes from compression to tension. The study shows that the density of V trenches in the AlN interlayer surface and the threading dislocations generated in the AlN interlayer have a significant influence on this strain evolution process. The dislocations generated in AlN interlayer may thread across the interface and play a key role in the strain evolution process of the GaN layer grown on AlN interlayer.
Storage of platelets in additive solutions: the effect of citrate and acetate in in vitro studies (1993)

The in vitro effects of storage of platelets prepared from 6 pooled buffy coat units and stored in a platelet storage medium consisting of CPD and plasma and different platelet additive solutions were evaluated. The total count of platelets per pooled unit included in the present investigation (n = 20) was 335 +/- 35 x 10(9) (mean +/- SD). Measurements of pH, pO2, pCO2, glucose, lactate, ATP, total adenine nucleotide content, and extracellular adenylate kinase activity were performed in a three-part study. The observations were 1) During storage in saline and citrate (10 mmol/L of citrate), the consumption of glucose and the production of lactate were significantly increased over the values with storage in saline, which were used as a reference. The values for pH at Day 6 were significantly lower. 2) The effects of different concentrations (10, 20, and 30 mmol/L) of acetate in saline were studied. With the exception of significantly higher pH values in saline and acetate, no significant differences were seen in the effects with saline and those with saline and acetate. 3) The combined effect of citrate and acetate was evaluated. The consumption of glucose and the production of lactate, the values for pO2, and extracellular adenylate kinase activity were significantly lower with saline and citrate and acetate than with saline and citrate. Significantly higher values for pH were found at Day 5.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
Regulation of fibronectin by thyroid hormone receptors (2004)

Thyroid hormones regulate growth, development, differentiation, and metabolic processes by interacting with and activating thyroid hormone receptors and associated pathways. We investigated the triiodothyronine (T 3 ) modulation of gene expression, in human hepatocellular carcinoma cell lines, via a PCR-based cDNA subtraction method. Here we present further data on one of the T 3 -upregulated genes, fibronectin (FN). We demonstrate that the induction of FN protein expression by T 3 in TRα1 and TRβ1 over-expressing cells was time and dose-dependent at the mRNA and protein levels. Blockade of protein synthesis by cycloheximide almost completely inhibited the concomitant induction of FN mRNA by T 3 , indicating that T 3 indirectly regulates FN. Furthermore, nuclear-run on and FN promoter assay clearly can specifically increase the number of FN transcriptional demonstrated that the presence of T 3 initiations. In addition, we further confirmed that the up-regulation of FN by T 3 was mediated, at least in part, by transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β), because the induction of FN was blocked in a dose-dependent manner by the addition of TGF-β neutralizing antibody. In an effort to elucidate the we demonstrated the involvement of the signaling pathways involved in the activation of FN by T 3 , mitogen activated protein kinase/c-Jun N-terminal kinase/p38 MAPK (MAPK/JNK/p38) pathway. Although T 3 induces the expression of TGF-β, neither wild-type nor dominant-negative Smad3 or Smad4 over-expression affected the activation of FN by T 3 . Thus, we demonstrate that T 3 regulates FN gene expression indirectly at the transcriptional level, with the participation of the MAPK/JNK/p38 pathway and the TGF-β signaling pathway but independent of Smad3/4.
Estudio radiológico realizado a 18 momias egipcias a pie de tumba (2012)

Después de años de estudio de la tumba del gobernador Monthemhat (TT-34), situada en la necrópolis tebana de El-Asasif, en la orilla oeste de Luxor (antigua Tebas), el Servicio de Antigüedades de Egipto propuso al equipo de paleopatólogos del Museu d'Arqueologia de Catalunya el estudio de 18 momias halladas en una pequeña tumba utilizada como almacén. Las momias eran de diferentes épocas y presentaban distintos estados de conservación. En nuestro trabajo se presenta el estudio radiológico de las 18 momias realizado mediante un arco de quirófano portátil y digital. Se crearon dos protocolos de estudio: a) el primero es de exploración radiológica, en el que se incluyen radiografías de cráneo, maxilares, tórax, abdomen, columna vertebral, cintura escapular y extremidades superiores, cintura pelviana y extremidades inferiores, y b) el segundo protocolo es una tabla para el estudio del tipo de momificación en la que se contempla la existencia de vísceras torácicas y abdominales, la excerebración, la existencia de amuletos y otros artefactos funerarios. A cada cuerpo se le practicaron entre 30 y 60 radiografías. La radiología simple fue de gran ayuda, sobre todo en el estudio de las momias vendadas, pero también de las esqueletizadas, ya que nos permitió determinar el sexo de los individuos, su estilo de vida, las técnicas de momificación empleadas, así como para el estudio de la patología ósea, pero no fue de utilidad para determinar la edad de muerte en los individuos adultos. También tuvimos un grado de dificultad inesperado al estudiar las lesiones provocadas por las maniobras de excerebración, aunque sí pudimos confirmar la existencia o no de restos de tejido cerebral. After years of excavation and reconstruction of Monthemhat's tomb, the Egyptian Service of Antiquities, suggested that the paleopathologists of the Archaeological Museum of Catalonia should study the eighteen mummies found in a little tomb near to that of Monthemhat. The mummies belonged to different chronological periods and were in different conservation stages. In this work we present the radiological study of the mummies, looking at the different stages of preservation of the wrapped and unwrapped mummies, the kind of mummification, the determination of the sex, the life style and pathological conditions. However, the X-ray analysis was not useful in the study of the age at death of the mummies. Surprisingly, it was very difficult to assess the bone fractures associated with the excerebration techniques used.
Rocking‐chair or lithium‐ion rechargeable lithium batteries (1994)

Abstract Owing to the present exponential development of portable consumer electronics and to the increasing concern about the environment, new energy sources are required that provide more energy in the same volume and/or mass. Within a short period of time, less than three years, many changes in the area of rechargeable batteries for the consumer market have occurred, along with the emergence of several new technologies. The ubiquitous NiCd cells, which are environmentally unfriendly because of the toxicity of Cd, will be replaced by Ni‐metal hydride, rocking‐chair lithium (or Li‐ion), and lithium polymer electrolyte rechargeable cells. This paper reviews recent advances in the field of Li‐ion rechargeable batteries.
Network Functions Virtualization (2015)

Network Functions Virtualization (NFV) has emerged as a new paradigm for designing, deploying and operating network services. It is a natural evolution of the current trend of applying cloud technologies to Information Technology (IT) services, bringing them to network provider environments. While this is true for the most simple use cases, focused on the IT services network providers rely on, the nature of network services and the physical anchors of network themselves impose additional, unique requirements on the virtualization process in this environment. At the same time, NFV provides an opportunity to network providers, reducing operational costs and bringing the promise of dramatically easing the development of new services, reducing their time-to-market, and opening new possibilities for service provisioning. This chapter analyses these requirements and opportunities and the challenges NFV brings to network providers, and reviews the current state of the art in this new way of dealing with network services.
MADS - a machine aided drafting system (1966)

The problem of having to maintain and update many drawings of the same type, as well as having to reproduce them quickly without having to completely redraw them manually is a concern throughout the industry. The solution presented here is that of establishing a standardized symbology to describe the simularities between the drawings, and using these symbols and a digital computer to generate and/or maintain these drawings. The drawings are converted into digitized symbol sets organized into files, and these files are then processed into the appropriate commands to drive a mechanical plotter to recreate the required drawings in every drafting detail, including Leroy lettering. These drawings are then maintained on an exception basis by using the updating capabilities of the system.
Amino Acid Side Chain Attachment Approach and Its Application to the Synthesis of Tyrosine-Containing Cyclic Peptides (1999)

The technique of resin loading by the attachment of the amino acid side chain represents a powerful tool for the synthesis of cyclopeptides by solid phase. We investigated the anchoring of the side chain of N-(9-fluorenylmethoxycarbonyl, Fmoc)-tyrosine methyl ester to benzyl-type resins by the Mitsunobu reaction. Satisfactory loading was obtained for HMPB−MBHA and Wang resins. The suitability of the preloaded resins for solid-phase peptide synthesis by using the Fmoc strategy, combined with the head-to-tail cyclization on the solid support, was illustrated by the preparation of three cyclic analogues of neuropeptide Y (NPY), a 36-residue peptide hormone and one of the most abundant neuropeptides in the brain. Each peptide contained the N- and C-terminal tetrapeptide segments of NPY, joined by different spacers: 6-aminohexanoic acid, β-alanine, or Ala-Aib. First the synthesis of the peptide methyl esters was performed, followed by saponification and cyclization on the resin. HOBt/DIC or HOBt/TBTU was used for the ring closure. The CD spectra of the three cyclopeptides in 30% trifluoroethanol showed a type I and III β-turns structure, which was already adopted by the (Ala-Aib)-containing cyclopeptide in water. The CD spectra, together with the biological assays, confirmed the suitability of these cyclopeptides as conformationally restricted peptides that may serve as lead structures in drug development.

Evolution of a role to enhance care coordination. (1997)

The recent trend toward shorter hospital stays has prompted health care personnel in acute care settings to reevaluate models of coordinating patient care. In whatever model is adopted, there must be someone whose role is to focus on achieving quality patient outcomes in a shorter time frame. Our institution has piloted several different models with various job classes to fulfill the role. However, the primary focus of the models-to enhance care coordination-remained unchanged. The initial care coordination model was the development of patient care coordinator role by converting the charge nurse position on the unit. The second model our institution developed occurred during a management restructuring. This model created a new position, a nursing practice coordinator, who had previously been a management support person with supervisory responsibilities. We now envision the role to be assumed by a nurse practitioner. The nurse practitioner's broader scope of practice potentially can further enhance coordination of care. In this article, the authors describe the development process, issues and interventions, and lessons learned during each step of redesigning a case management model.
Aspects of Sumerian civilisation as evidenced on tablets in the John Rylands Library III. About building in Ur (1934)

Judging from repetitious appearances of her marital arms in the painted line-endings, the Psalter-Hours John Rylands Library Latin MS 117 probably belonged to Jeanne of Flanders (c.1272–1333), daughter of Count Robert III of Flanders and in 1288 second wife to Enguerrand IV of Coucy. Yet the line-endings also contain some 1,800 diminutive painted escutcheons, many of which refer to other members of the local nobility active during the 1280s. This study, based on an exhaustive survey of the total heraldic and codicological evidence, suggests that the majority of the extant Psalter predated the Hours and that the two parts were combined after the 1288 marriage. The ‘completed’ manuscript bears witness to major events that unfolded in and around the Coucy barony over the course of the decade. It suggests a complex relationship between Jeanne of Flanders and a lesser member of the local nobility, a certain Marien of Moÿ, who may have served as her attendant.
Inorganic—Organic Hybrid Coatings for Metal and Glass Surfaces (1995)

Inorganic-organic composite materials have been tailored by sol-gel synthesis with different properties for different applications. A composite from SiO2, diphenyl silanes and methylvinyl silanes was modified by an amino silane and crosslinked by diepoxides, leading to a sealing strength of more than 10 N/cm when used as a hot melt for sealing copper to polyimide. An ormocer type of coating was modified by nanoscaled γ-Al2O3 or boehmite, leading to a low-curing transparent coating material with very high scratch resistances and a ZrO2 nanocomposite modified with silanes with perfluorinated groupings having high transparency combined with low surface free energy with 18 mJ/m2 was synthesized.

Temporal and geographical distributions of human rotavirus serotypes, 1983 to 1988 (1989)

Between 1983 and 1988, subgroups and serotypes were determined for 907 of 1,084 clinical specimens of rotaviruses collected in various countries of Europe, North and South America, Africa, and Asia. Enhanced enzyme immunoassays based on monoclonal antibodies specific for rotavirus proteins VP6 and VP7 were used. Significant differences in the prevalent serotypes were detected from year to year in the United Kingdom and Brazil and also in different countries during the same year. Throughout the study, rotavirus serotype 1 was detected most often (53.8%), followed in frequency by serotype 2 (17.8%), serotype 3 (12.1%), serotype 4 (11.1%), and serotypes other than 1 to 4 (5.1%). No individual serotype was found to predominate consistently in any one location. In the United Kingdom, rotavirus serotypes varied in prevalence in a regular but not predictable way. We suggest that a similar epidemiology might be found in other settings. Seventeen unusual strains were detected. Of these, five strains did not react with reference monoclonal antibodies specific for subgroup I and subgroup II, but they reacted with rotavirus group A-specific polyclonal and monoclonal antibodies; four strains were of subgroup II, serotype 2, and at least one had a "long" electropherotype; two strains were of subgroup I, serotype 2 with a long electropherotype; and one strain was of subgroup I, serotype 3. Five group C rotaviruses were detected.
