Relations between the possibility of restoration of bandpass‐type band‐limited waves by interpolation and arrangement of sampling points (1986)

Abstract A study has been conducted on band‐limited waves f(t) of bandpass type, the Fourier spectrum F(ω) of which is identically zero outside an occupied band ωτ < ∥ω∥ < ωτ + ωb. Based on this study, we have obtained the following results: first, when an interpolation of a wave is attempted using a set of even‐numbered samples periodically repeated on both sides of the time axis at a mean distance between samples π/ωb (which in general are arranged ununiformly), the necessary and sufficient condition for said samples to restore a desired band‐limited wave having the same occupied bandwidth is demonstrated; second, a concrete formula of interpolation using a set of the prescribed type that satisfies the necessary and sufficient condition above, is introduced. Then a proof that demonstrates the impossibility that a formula which permits a set of samples of an odd number is periodically repeated at a mean interval of π/ωb to restore any desired band‐limited wave having the prescribed occupied bandwidth on the basis of interpolation unless ωτ or ω b satisfies a special condition. Finally, relations between the possibility of interpolation and combinations of ωτ and ω b for sample positions restricted to a certain extent if the mean interval between sampling points is shorter than π/ω b , is discussed.
Adaptive IIR notch filter based on least mean p-power error criterion (1993)

A new second-order IIR adaptive notch filter (ANF) algorithm based on least-mean-p-power (LMP) error criterion is investigated. When the ANF is used to cancel 60-Hz interference in the recording of electrocardiograms (ECG), the performance of this adaptive algorithm with p=1 is better than that of the conventional least-mean-square (LMS, p=2) algorithm. Furthermore, when the ANF is applied to estimate the frequency of sinusoid embedded in white noise, this algorithm with p=3 has better statistical accuracy than the LMS algorithm. Simulation results are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed ANF algorithm.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>
Multislice perfusion and perfusion territory imaging in humans with separate label and image coils (1999)

An arterial spin labeling technique using separate RF labeling and imaging coils was used to obtain multislice perfusion images of the human brain at 3 T. Continuous RF irradiation at a peak power of 0.3 W was applied to the carotid arteries to adiabatically invert spins. Labeling was achieved without producing magnetization transfer effects since the B1 field of the labeling coil did not extend into the imaging region or couple significant power into the imaging coil. Eliminating magnetization transfer allowed the acquisition of multislice perfusion images of arbitrary orientation. Combining surface coil labeling with a reduced RF duty cycle permitted significantly lower SAR than single coil approaches. The technique was also found to allow selective labeling of blood in either carotid, providing an assessment of the artery's perfusion territory. In normal subjects, these territories were well-defined and localized to the ipsilateral hemisphere.
Systematically refactoring inheritance to delegation in java (2008)

Because of the strong coupling of classes and the proliferation of unneeded class members induced by inheritance, the suggestion to use composition and delegation instead has become commonplace. The presentation of a corresponding refactoring in the literature may lead one to believe that such a transformation is a straightforward undertaking. However, closer analysis reveals that this refactoring is neither always possible, nor does it necessarily achieve its desired effect. We have therefore identified the necessary preconditions and realizable postconditions of the refactoring, and built a tool that can perform it completely automatically. By applying this tool to all subclasses of several open-source projects, we have collected evidence of the applicability of the refactoring and of its capability to deliver on its promises. The refactoring builds on constraint graphs originally developed for type inference to check the preconditions and to compute the necessary delegation as well as the subtype relationships that must be maintained.

Effect of Seed Blends and Soil-Insecticide on Western and Northern Corn Rootworm Emergence from mCry3A + eCry3.1Ab Bt Maize (2015)

Seed blends containing various ratios of transgenic Bt maize (Zea mays L.) expressing the mCry3A+eCry3.1Ab proteins and non-Bt maize (near-isoline maize) were deployed alone and in combination with a soil applied pyrethroid insecticide (Force CS) to evaluate the emergence of the western corn rootworm, Diabrotica virgifera virgifera LeConte, in a total of nine field environments across the Midwestern United States in 2010 and 2011. Northern corn rootworm, Diabrotica barberi Smith & Lawrence emergence was also evaluated in four of these environments. Both western and northern corn rootworm beetle emergence from all Bt treatments was significantly reduced when compared with beetle emergence from near-isoline treatments. Averaged across all environments, western corn rootworm beetle emergence from 95:5, 90:10, and 80:20 seed blend ratios of mCry3A+eCry3.1Ab: near-isoline were 2.6-, 4.2-, and 6.7-fold greater than that from the 100:0 ratio treatment. Northern corn rootworm emergence from the same seed blend treatments resulted in 2.8-, 3.2-, and 4.2-fold more beetles than from the 100:0 treatment. The addition of Force CS (tefluthrin) significantly reduced western corn rootworm beetle emergence for each of the three treatments to which it was applied. Force CS also significantly delayed the number of days to 50% beetle emergence in western corn rootworms. Time to 50% beetle emergence in the 100% mCry3A+eCry3.1Ab treatment with Force CS was delayed 13.7 d when compared with western corn rootworm beetle emergence on near-isoline corn. These data are discussed in terms of rootworm resistance management.
Experimental characterization of the sensor effect in ferromagnetic shape memory Ni–Mn–Ga (2006)

The characterization of a commercial Ni–Mn–Ga alloy for use as a deformation sensor is addressed. The experimental determination of flux density as a function of strain loading and unloading at various fixed magnetic fields gives the bias field needed for maximum recoverable flux density change. This bias field is shown to mark the transition from irreversible (quasiplastic) to reversible (pseudoelastic) stress-strain behavior. A reversible flux density change of 145mT is observed over a range of 5.8% strain and 4.4MPa stress at a bias field of 368kA∕m. The alloy investigated shows potential as a high-compliance, high-displacement deformation sensor.
Background correction method for the determination of ascorbic acid in soft drinks, fruit juices and cordials using direct ultraviolet spectrophotometry (1986)

A background correction method has been developed for the determination of ascorbic acid in soft drinks, fruit juices and cordials using UV spectrophotometry. The sample blank is produced by the catalytic oxidation of the acid by copper(II). To correct for the absorption due to copper(II), EDTA was added after the oxidation, and standard solutions were prepared to contain the same concentration of the copper(II)-EDTA complex, which does not catalyse the oxidation of ascorbic acid at room temperature. The decomposition of ascorbic acid in real samples should be carried out at 50 °C because citric acid, which is usually present in the samples under study, retards the copper(II)-catalysed oxidation of ascorbic acid.Absorbance measurements were made at 267 nm and pH 6. The calibration graph was linear for 0–20 µg ml–1 of ascorbic acid. The precision was 0.1–0.5% for ascorbic acid concentrations in the range 5–13 µg ml–1. The proposed method is selective, and many ingredients commonly found in soft drinks, fruit juices and cordials do not interfere. The method was utilised to determine ascorbic acid in a wide range of samples.
Stage-specific application of allogeneic and autologous marrow transplantation in the management of acute myeloid leukemia. (1999)

Allogeneic (alloBMT) and autologous bone marrow transplantation (ABMT) have become standard approaches for the management of adults with acute myeloid leukemia (AML). The indications for transplantation remain controversial as parallel improvements in intensive chemotherapy have resulted in excellent outcomes for many patients. AlloBMT is the therapy of choice for patients who fail to respond to induction chemotherapy. For those patients in first remission (CRI), a policy of intensive postremission chemotherapy with transplantation upon relapse appears to be optimal. There are no data to support transplantation in CRI, allogeneic or autologous, for those patients with leukemia characterized by favorable cytogenetic abnormalities [ie, core-binding factor type or t(15;17)], as these patients do well with nonmyeloablative strategies. Patients with relapsed disease appear to be best served with allogeneic transplantation from a human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-matched sibling or one-antigen-mismatched family member, whereas for those patients lacking a related donor, unrelated donor alloBMT or ABMT provides similar long-term overall survival. Randomized studies for the optimal management of relapsed disease are lacking but are needed. The objective of this review is to discuss the data supporting the use of alloBMT or ABMT at various points during the course of de novo adult AML.
Nutrition, Insulin, Insulin-like Growth Factors and Cancer (2003)

The incidence of colon, pancreatic, and kidney cancers, as well as aggressive prostate cancer in men, and breast and endometrial cancer in women is invariably high in Western countries. Nutritional and related factors have been typically implicated. This review presents a model integrating nutrition, insulin and IGF-1 physiology ("bioactive" IGF-1), and carcinogenesis based on the following: (1) insulin and the IGF-1 axis function in an integrated fashion to promote cell growth and survival; (2) chronic exposure to these growth properties enhances carcinogenesis; (3) factors that influence bioactive IGF-1 will affect cancer risk. The model presented here summarizes the data that chronic exposure to high levels of insulin and IGF-1 may mediate many of the risk factors for some cancers that are high in Western populations. This hypothesis may help explain some of the epidemiologic patterns observed for these cancers, both from a cross-national perspective and within populations. Of particular importance is that some of relevant factors are modifiable through nutritional and lifestyle interventions. Out of a variety of perspectives presented, nutritional manipulation through the insulin pathway may be more feasible than attempting to influence total IGF-1 concentrations, which are determined largely by growth hormone. Further study is required to test these conclusions.
A Method for Multiple Periodic Factor Prediction Problems Using Complex Fuzzy Sets (2011)

Multiple periodic factor prediction (MPFP) problems exist widely in multisensor data fusion applications. Development of an effective prediction method should integrate information for multiple periodically changing factors. Because the uncertainty and periodicity coexist in the information used, the prediction method should be able to handle them simultaneously. In this study, complex fuzzy sets are used to represent the information with uncertainty and periodicity. A product-sum aggregation operator (PSAO) is developed for a set of complex fuzzy sets, which is used to integrate information with uncertainty and periodicity, and a PSAO-based prediction (PSAOP) method is then proposed to generate a solution of MPFP problems. This study illustrates the details of the PSAOP method through two real applications in annual sunspot number prediction and bushfire danger rating prediction. Experiments indicate that the proposed PSAOP method effectively handles the uncertainty and periodicity in the information of multiple periodic factors simultaneously and can generate accurate predictions for MPFP problems.
Clinically Relevant Changes in Sexual Desire, Satisfying Sexual Activity and Personal Distress as Measured by the Profile of Female Sexual Function, Sexual Activity Log, and Personal Distress Scale in Postmenopausal Women with Hypoactive Sexual Desire Disorder (2009)

ABSTRACT Introduction Transdermal testosterone patch (TTP) treatment produced statistically significant improvements in a satisfying sexual activity (SSA), sexual desire, and personal distress in postmenopausal women suffering from hypoactive sexual desire disorder (HSDD), but clinical significance of these changes was not determined. Aim To quantify the magnitude of change in three principal outcomes measures determined by HSDD patients as associated with the perception of meaningful benefit with TTP therapy. Methods The criteria for defining responders were determined using anchoring methodology and receiver operating characteristics analysis to establish minimum important differences (MIDs) in a representative subsample of 132 patients in two randomized, controlled trials in surgically menopausal women with HSDD (N = 1,094). Perceived benefit was established based upon the question “Overall, would you say that you experienced a meaningful benefit from the study patches?”. These data defined responders and established MIDs for changes in sexual desire, SSA, and personal distress. The MIDs were applied to the two trials to establish responder rates in each treatment group. Main Outcome Measures Changes in score that correspond to the MID for sexual desire, SSA, and personal distress, and responder rates in each treatment group based upon these values. Results Increases in frequency of SSA of greater than 1 activity/4 weeks, increases in sexual desire score of ≥8.9, and decreases in the personal distress score of ≥20.0 were identified as threshold improvements best able to differentiate responders and nonresponders. The responder rate was significantly higher (P &lt; 0.001) in the testosterone group vs. placebo for all three outcomes measures (sexual desire, 50% vs. 34%; SSA, 44% vs. 30%; personal distress, 51% vs. 39%). Conclusions Changes in sexual desire, SSA, and personal distress observed with TTP treatment in surgically menopausal women with HSDD were clinically significant and were associated with a meaningful treatment benefit.
Screening for Lynch Syndrome (Hereditary Nonpolyposis Colorectal Cancer) among Endometrial Cancer Patients (2006)

Endometrial cancer is the most common cancer in women with Lynch syndrome. The identification of individuals with Lynch syndrome is desirable because they can benefit from increased cancer surveillance. The purpose of this study was to determine the feasibility and desirability of molecular screening for Lynch syndrome in all endometrial cancer patients. Unselected endometrial cancer patients (N = 543) were studied. All tumors underwent microsatellite instability (MSI) testing. Patients with MSI-positive tumors underwent testing for germ line mutations in MLH1, MSH2, MSH6, and PMS2. Of 543 tumors studied, 118 (21.7%) were MSI positive (98 of 118 MSI high and 20 of 118 MSI low). All 118 patients with MSI-positive tumors had mutation testing, and nine of them had deleterious germ line mutations (one MLH1, three MSH2, and five MSH6). In addition, one case with an MSI-negative tumor had abnormal MSH6 immunohistochemical staining and was subsequently found to have a mutation in MSH6. Immunohistochemical staining was consistent with the mutation result in all seven truncating mutation-positive cases but was not consistent in two of the three missense mutation cases. We conclude that in central Ohio, at least 1.8% (95% confidence interval, 0.9-3.5%) of newly diagnosed endometrial cancer patients had Lynch syndrome. Seven of the 10 Lynch syndrome patients did not meet any published criteria for hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer, and six of them were diagnosed at age >50. Studying all endometrial cancer patients for Lynch syndrome using a combination of MSI and immunohistochemistry for molecular prescreening followed by gene sequencing and deletion analysis is feasible and may be desirable.
Effect of anion species of supporting electrolyte on high frequency polarograms (1973)

高周波ポーラログラフ法によって金属イオン分析を行なう際に必要な系統的知見を得ることを目的として,直流法,く形波法との比較のもとにCd2+,Pb2+,Tl+,In3+,Cu2+,Zn2+に対し,一般的な支持電解質10種を選び各イオンの還元波に及ぼす支持電解質の影響を調べた.Cd2+波は支持電解質の種類に依存して,単一上昇波(通常のポーラログラムの正方向一次導関数の形)から上昇波・下降波とほぼ対称の波形(二次導関数の形)を経て,下降波(負方向一次導関数の形)優位の波形にまで変化する.Pb2+およびTl+波は単一上昇波から上・下対称波まで,In3+波は上・下対称波から単一上昇波まで変化するが,Pb2+とTl+波の場合には上・下対称波から下降波に至る波形,In3+波のときは上昇波から対称波までの波形が得られなかった.還元波の形が上昇波優位から上・下対称波を経て下降波優位へと変化すると仮定して波形に及ぼす支持電解質の影響を系統的に分類すると支持塩の陰イオン種に対して一つの系列,すなわち,I-,SCN-,Br-,Cl-,NO3-,ClO4-,SO42-という序列が得られ,この順序は電気毛管極大の順序に一致する.ただし,一つの陰イオン種を支持塩として得られる波形は各金属イオンについて特異的である.Zn2+波はチオシアン酸塩以外の支持塩中では二つの波からなる複合波を与えるが,両波について比較すると同じ変化系列が得られる.しかし,Cu2+波はこの陰イオン系列に基づく変化系列を示さなかった.
Serotonin-deficient mutants and male mating behavior in the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans (1993)

Defining a behavior that requires the function of specific neurons in the free-living nematode Caenorhabditis elegans can allow one to screen for mutations that disrupt the specification or function of those neurons. We identified serotonin-immunoreactive neurons required for tail curling or "turning" behavior exhibited by C. elegans males during mating. Males mutant in three different genes that reduce serotonin expression, cat-1, cat-4, and bas-1, exhibited defects in turning behavior similar to those of wild-type males in which these neurons were ablated. The turning defect of cat-4 males was rescued by exogenous serotonin, consistent with the idea that their behavioral defect is caused by a lack of serotonin. While the serotonin-deficient mutants we analyzed shared certain behavioral traits, they were blocked for serotonin synthesis at different steps. Analysis of these and additional serotonin-deficient mutants may help us understand how a neuron controls the expression of a serotonergic phenotype.
On-chip spiral inductors with diffused shields using channel-stop implant (2002)

We investigated the Diffused shield Under the Oxide (DUO) for the first time. DUO is an extremely shallow diffusion layer in the n-well under the field oxide. DUO can be formed by high energy implantation through the field oxide, and it can be formed by the process of the channel stop implant for MOSFETs simultaneously. Application of DUO provided a 79% improvement in Q-factor and the comparable shield effect on the n-well. This structure is one of the suitable ground shield for the spiral inductor of the rf CMOS.

Surface Breakdown Of Pre-Stressed Insulators (1988)

Aging and degradation of high voltage insulation due to applied and environmental stresses are being studied in order to predict the performance of high voltage equipment in space. Results will be presented on surface flashover measurements on commercially available polymers which have been stressed by exposure to vacuum, d.c. electric fields, and pulsed electric fields. A newly developed analysis technique using laser excited fluorescence (LEF) has been applied to analyze damage caused by flashover and aging. LEE allows analysis, on a molecular scale, of chemical and structural changes with a sensitivity much greater than previously possible. Data will be presented on the degradation due to aging before flashover occurs, as well as damage caused by flashover events.
A Key Role for Mast Cell Chymase in the Activation of Pro-matrix Metalloprotease-9 and Pro-matrix Metalloprotease-2 (2004)

Chymases, serine proteases exclusively expressed by mast cells, have been implicated in various pathological conditions. However, the basis for these activities is not known, i.e. the in vivo substrate(s) for mast cell chymase has not been identified. In this study we show that mice lacking the chymase mouse mast cell protease 4 (mMCP-4) fail to process pro-matrix metalloprotease 9 (pro-MMP-9) to its active form in vivo, whereas both the pro and active form of MMP-9 was found in tissues of wild type mice. Moreover, the processing of pro-MMP-2 into active enzyme was markedly defective in mMCP-4 null animals. Histological analysis revealed an increase in collagen in the ear tissue of mMCP-4-deficient animals accompanied by increased ear thickness and a higher content of hydroxyproline. Furthermore, both lung and ear tissue from the knock-out animals showed a markedly increased staining for fibronectin. MMP-9 and MMP-2 are known to have a range of important activities, but the mechanisms for their activation in vivo have not been clarified previously. The present study thus indicates a key role for mast cell chymase in the regulation of pro-MMP-2 and -9 activities. Moreover, the results suggest an important role for mast cell chymase in regulating connective tissue homeostasis.

THE ACTIONS OF BRETYLIUM: ADRENERGIC NEURONE BLOCKING AND OTHER EFFECTS (1959)

Bretylium caused a specific and lasting depression of many excitatory and inhibitory responses evoked by electrical stimulation of the peripheral sympathetic nervous system, probably by impairing conduction of impulses in adrenergic neurones with consequent failure of noradrenaline and adrenaline release. This effect, which will be referred to as the adrenergic neurone blocking action, was preceded by weak sympathomimetic effects. In the presence of bretylium the effects of adrenaline and noradrenaline were increased, as after sympathectomy. Concentrations producing blocking of adrenergic neurones did not prevent the release of adrenaline and noradrenaline from the adrenal medulla by splanchnic nerve stimulation or by the injection of dimethylphenylpiperazinium iodide, nor did they cause antiparasympathetic or parasympathomimetic effects. No action on the central nervous system has been detected. Curare-like neuromuscular block occurred with 10 to 30 times the amount required to block the response to adrenergic nerve stimulation alone and was accompanied by signs of temporary synaptic block in autonomic ganglia. Adrenergic nerve trunks and sensory nerves in the skin were readily blocked for long periods by topical application of bretylium, whereas the phrenic nerve of the rat was not. Bretylium had little effect on gastrointestinal propulsion or on the sensitivity of smooth muscle to acetylcholine, 5-hydroxytryptamine, adrenaline, or noradrenaline, but moderate amounts depressed the peristaltic reflex and the sensitivity of the guinea-pig ileum to histamine. Bretylium caused postural hypotension in the cat in doses which had little effect on the supine blood pressure. Experiments on the nictitating membrane indicated that compensation for the effects of bretylium on low rates of stimulation of postganglionic sympathetic nerves could be attained by a small increase in the rate of stimulation, whereas compensation for its effects on high rates required an increase in the rate of stimulation beyond physiological limits.
