T. S. 엘리엇 / 시의 사회적 기능으로서의 감수성의 조정 (1999)

In his Clark Lectures on the Metaphysical poets, Eliot implied that a new unified sensibility could be a condition for better living as well as for good poetry. His interest in sensibility is apparent in his dissertation on F. H. Bradley`s philosophy and much of his other literary criticism regarding tradition, culture and the social function of poetry. In his ideas of `immediate experience`, `objective correlative`, `art emotion`, etc., feeling and thought are associated and united with the world. The world is an ideal constriction which is equivalent to what we perceive through a unified sensibility. Eliot said that people had never recovered from a dissociation of thought and feeling which started in the 17th century (SE 287~288). Culture was thought to deteriorate unless constantly changing sensibility was fused into the language by great poets (OPP 10~11). This was the reason why he considered poetry in its social function. Poetry may accomplish revolutions in collective sensibility and put an end to the `conventional modes of perception and valuation` (UPUC 155). For Eliot sensibility was not a mere faculty of individual receptivity but a condition with which people could not keep a healthy civilization. In the refined sensibility of a poet with `historical sense`, the world can be perceived in its pastness as well as its presence of the past. In Eliot`s ideal society a few great poets comprehend the world in its complexity and significant history; their new sensibility may effect minor authors and ordinary people until it is settled in the language and fused unconsciously into tradition and culture. This world may be an homogeneous background in which people, some of whom don`t even know the poets` names, have something in common with them. This vision of an homogeneous world, Eliot thinks, is a social function of poetry. Poetry can give pleasure and a new experience to an individual reader. But in addition it can give collectively to all members of a society a refined sensibility. The collective sensibility comprehends the world in its complexity and diversity, and still provides an identical vision of it. The problem is that the identity of the world cannot be achieved without the intention of a few who aspire to restore it. The ideal society is valid only when all members of a society share an identical way of feeling and thinking, however vague and unconscious it may be. Eliot`s tradition and culture are significant in that they are conditions for a sense of identity among the members of a society. Eliot`s quest for a new sensibility is an effort to have a mental mechanism by which people can absorb a variety of experiences into a `whole of feeling` and even have reconciliation with the past in its pastness and presence.
Sampling 3-D seismic surveys: A conjecture favoring coarser but higher-fold sampling (1994)

Designing 3-D seismic surveys has become something of an “art” with just a few generally accepted and documented criteria. Every practitioner’s particular list of key design considerations will likely differ. Also, many groups rely upon acquisition contractors for laying out 3-D surveys. These companies face some significant conflict between maximizing the “call” upon their services and minimizing field efforts to achieve the objectives. We shall learn further that many accepted design guidelines, in fact, are not valid.
Perforation of the gastrointestinal tract in patients receiving steroids for neurologic disease (1988)

Between 1980 and 1984, of 107 patients receiving 16 mg/d of dexamethasone for spinal cord compression, three (2.8%) developed gastrointestinal (GI) perforation and two (1.9%) GI bleeding; of 226 being tapered from 100 mg/d of dexamethasone, perforation occurred in six (2.7%) and GI bleeding in eight (3.5%). Of 125 patients with GI perforations treated between 1979 and 1986, 41 (33%) were on steroids, 24 for neurologic disease. Median duration of steroid therapy was 24 days; 20 (91%) of the neurologic patients perforated within 30 days. The steroid group had more free peritoneal involvement (p less than 0.00001), but fewer signs and symptoms of peritonitis (p less than 0.000001) than the nonsteroid group. Seventeen patients were receiving steroids for cord compression; they had significantly more rectosigmoid perforations (p less than 0.014) and associated constipation (p less than 0.000001) than the 108 remaining patients. GI perforation is a less well-recognized complication of steroid therapy in neurologic patients than is GI bleeding though it occurs as frequently, is more difficult to diagnose, and far more serious. In steroid-treated patients, prevention of constipation might avert this serious complication, while early diagnosis will improve the outcome.
Personality traits and effectiveness of presentation of product information in e-business systems (2002)

Consumer interaction with product information is one of the critical components in business-to-consumer (B2C) e-commerce environments. Online consumers' characteristics can be expected to play an important role when designing how product information is presented in such e-commerce environments. We suggest that online consumers' personality traits impact effectiveness of the presentation of product information on e-commerce sites and the extent to which the various e-commerce environments are effective. In this article, we propose and empirically validate relationships among online consumers' personality traits, product information presentation richness and on-line consumer behaviour in e-commerce environments. Results show that effectiveness of product information presentation varies by online consumers' psychological types, and that rich product information presentation significantly influences the online buying behaviour of intuitive types, and feeling types, rather than sensing and thinking types. Discussion of the results and their implications for theory and practice as well as limitations and future research directions are presented.
Near UV-pumped yellow-emitting Sr8MgSc(PO4)7:Eu2+ phosphor for white-light LEDs with excellent color rendering index (2011)

An Eu2+-activated Sr8MgSc(PO4)7:Eu2+ yellow-emitting phosphor with strong luminescence was synthesized and its crystal structure has been refined and determined from the XRD profiles using synchrotron light source by Rietveld refinement method. Non-radiative transitions between Eu2+ ions in the Sr8MgSc(PO4)7 host have also been demonstrated to be attributable to dipole–dipole interactions, and the critical distance was estimated to be 24.83 Å by using spectral overlap methods. In addition, white-light near-UV LEDs were fabricated by using a phosphor blend of composition-optimized yellow-emitting Sr8MgSc(PO4)7:0.01Eu2+ and blue-emitting BaMgAl10O17:Eu2+ commodity pumped with a 400 nm near-UV chip and the Ra value and reduced color temperature of were found to be 96.7 and 5,614 K, respectively. These results indicate that yellow-emitting Sr8MgSc(PO4)7:xEu2+ can serve as a promising candidate for application in white-light LEDs.
Data Clustering (2018)

Research on the problem of clustering tends to be fragmented across the pattern recognition, database, data mining, and machine learning communities. Addressing this problem in a unified way, Data Clustering: Algorithms and Applications provides complete coverage of the entire area of clustering, from basic methods to more refined and complex data clustering approaches. It pays special attention to recent issues in graphs, social networks, and other domains. The book focuses on three primary aspects of data clustering: Methods, describing key techniques commonly used for clustering, such as feature selection, agglomerative clustering, partitional clustering, density-based clustering, probabilistic clustering, grid-based clustering, spectral clustering, and nonnegative matrix factorization Domains, covering methods used for different domains of data, such as categorical data, text data, multimedia data, graph data, biological data, stream data, uncertain data, time series clustering, high-dimensional clustering, and big data Variations and Insights, discussing important variations of the clustering process, such as semisupervised clustering, interactive clustering, multiview clustering, cluster ensembles, and cluster validation In this book, top researchers from around the world explore the characteristics of clustering problems in a variety of application areas. They also explain how to glean detailed insight from the clustering processincluding how to verify the quality of the underlying clustersthrough supervision, human intervention, or the automated generation of alternative clusters.
Economics of tillage and weed-management system for wheat (Triticum aestivum) after lowland rice (Oryza sativa) (2001)

A field experiment was conducted during the winter seasons of 1997-98 and 1998-99, to study economics of tillage and weed-management system for wheat (Triticum aestivum L. emend. Fiori & Paol.] after lowland rice (Oryza sativa L.). Tillage practices significantly reduced the moisture content and bulk density of the soil than zero- tillage. Farmer's practice recorded the lowest moisture content in the soil, whereas minimum bulk density of the soil was associated with rotavator twice. Rotavator twice significantly reduced the weed population and weed dry biomass than farmer's practice and zero tillage and recorded significantly higher values for yield attributes and grain and straw yields. Rotavator twice also recorded significantly higher net returns than farmer's practice and zero tillage. Farmer's practice recorded significantly lower benefit : cost ratio than rotavator once or twice. Higher values for yield attributes and grain and straw yields were recorded in hand-weeded plot which were at par with mixture of 2,4-D + isoproturon but significantly higher than 2,4-D or isoproturon applied alone. Net returns with hand-weeding and 2,4-D + isoproturon were at par, while the later recorded significantly higher benefit :cost ratio than hand-weeding.
Demosaicing of Color Filter Array Captured Images Using Gradient Edge Detection Masks and Adaptive Heterogeneity-Projection (2008)

Without demosaicing processing, this paper first proposes a new approach to extract more accurate gradient/edge information on mosaic images directly. Next, based on spectral-spatial correlation, a novel adaptive heterogeneity-projection with proper mask size for each pixel is presented. Combining the extracted gradient/edge information and the adaptive heterogeneity-projection values, a new edge-sensing demosaicing algorithm is presented. Based on 24 popular testing images, experimental results demonstrated that our proposed high-quality demosaicing algorithm has the best image quality performance when compared with several recently published algorithms.
Human Pharmacology and Abuse Potential of the Analgesic Buprenorphine (1978)

Buprenorphine was evaluated for its abuse potential and utility in treating narcotic addiction. The drug was morphine-like but was 25 to 50 times more potent than morphine and was longer-acting. Little if any physical dependence of clinical significance was produced by buprenorphine. The effects of morphine to 120-mg doses were blocked by buprenorphine, a blockade that persisted for 29 1/2 hours. In man, buprenorphine has less intrinsic activity than morphine, and as such, as a low abuse potential. Moreover, the drug has potential for treating narcotic addiction since it is acceptable to addicts, is long-acting, produces a low level of physical dependence such that patients may be easily detoxified, is less toxic than drugs used for maintenance therapy, and blocks the effects of narcotics.
Reversine, a novel Aurora kinases inhibitor, inhibits colony formation of human acute myeloid leukemia cells (2008)

The demonstration that the small synthetic molecule reversine [2-(4-morpholinoanilino)-N6-cyclohexyladenine] promotes the dedifferentiation of committed cells into multipotent progenitor-type cells has raised hopes on the exploitation of this small chemical tool for the generation of stem cells. Here, we show that reversine causes a failure in cytokinesis and induces polyploidization. These effects of reversine are due to the inhibition of Aurora A and B, two related kinases that are implicated in several aspects of mitosis and that are frequently amplified and overexpressed in human tumors. Reversine inhibits the phosphorylation of histone H3, a direct downstream target of Aurora kinases. Similarly to the Aurora kinase inhibitor VX-680, which has recently entered phase II clinical trials for cancer treatment, reversine inhibited colony formation of leukemic cells from patients with acute myeloid leukemia but was significantly less toxic than VX-680 on cells from healthy donors. The crystal structure of the reversine-Aurora B kinase complex shows that reversine is a novel class of ATP-competitive Aurora kinase inhibitors. Thus, although our studies raise serious doubts on the application of reversine in regenerative medicine, they support the paradigm that reversine might be a useful agent in cancer chemotherapy.
Airway responsiveness to inhaled antigen, histamine, and methacholine in inbred, ragweed-sensitized dogs. (1985)

We studied the responses to antigen in animals selected from a colony of inbred dogs sensitized to specific allergens to determine if they had characteristics similar to those of human asthmatics. They were immunized with ragweed and grass pollen extracts (10 micrograms in alum) immediately after routine vaccination with attenuated live virus (distemper and hepatitis) and killed bacteria (Leptospira) at 4, 8, and 12 wk of age. Subsequently, ragweed and grass injections were repeated every 2 months. Immunized dogs made specific IgE-antibodies in serum averaging 3 to 4 times that of control animals (no immunization with pollen or vaccine). They showed positive skin responses to the injection of ragweed pollen extract, whereas control dogs did not respond to ragweed pollen by quantitative skin test or inhalation challenge. In immunized dogs under barbiturate anesthesia, air-flow resistance of the total respiratory system increased from 0.60 +/- 0.07 (mean +/- SEM) before to 12.6 +/- 3.4 cm H2O/lps 5 min after the start of antigen aerosol; respiratory resistance remained increased for 20 min and was associated with 0 hypoxemia and increased arterial plasma histamine. In addition, airway responsiveness to both inhaled histamine and methacholine was greater in immunized dogs than in nonimmunized dogs of comparable age. Airway responses to each agonist were highly reproducible on repeated testing. These results indicate that physiologic responses to antigen by inbred, ragweed-sensitized dogs resemble human asthma closely and that these dogs appear suitable for a variety of experimental studies of asthma with respect to pathogenesis, diagnosis, prevention, and treatment.
A new in vivo model for the evaluation of topical antiseptics on superficial wounds. The effect of 70% alcohol and povidone-iodine solution. (1984)

A preliminary evaluation of the antiseptic activity of 70% alcohol and 10% povidone-iodine solution was carried out in an animal model. After the inoculation of partial-thickness wounds with Staphylococcus aureus, 0.1 mL of the antiseptic agent (70% alcohol or povidone-iodine solution) was rubbed into the wound for 30 s. The agent was left on the wound for one minute, three minutes, and 24 hours, and then the wounds were cultured for bacteria. After one minute, the treatments did not reduce the number of pathogens. After three minutes, both 70% alcohol and povidone-iodine solution produced a slight reduction, and after 24 hours, povidone-iodine solution slightly reduced the number of pathogenic bacteria that could be cultured. However, after 24 hours, neither agent reduced the number of pathogens below 10(5) colony-forming units per milliliter. These preliminary data suggest that single applications of 70% alcohol or povidone-iodine may have very limited efficacy as antiseptic agents for the treatment of superficial wounds.

How vision is helping Unika take the correct welding path (1981)

Unika is a prototype robot — the product of work by Unimation in the US and Kawasaki in Japan — which by means of vision can detect the deviation between a taught standard path and the actual welding seam. The robot system can then correct the path taken by the welding gun manipulator.
Wave optical analysis of light-emitting diode beam shaping using microlens arrays (2002)

We investigate the use of optical systems consisting of either one or two refractive microlens arrays, a collimating and Fourier transforming lens for LED beam homogenization. Due to the small lenslet diameters, diffraction can lead to significant deviations from the desired homogene intensity distribution. Therefore, we analyze the two setups applying scalar diffraction theory and explain the occurring effects using numerical calculations. Our theoretical calculations are supported by experimental results.
Making seismic monitoring work in a desert environment with complex near surface (2013)

We describe a seismic monitoring system designed for a desert environment with complex near surface. The goal is to map CO2 injection using permanent buried sensors at shallow depths of 50-70 m. This is the first large-scale permanent seismic installation in Saudi Arabia deployed at such depth and we face a number of geophysical and operational challenges. These challenges were overcome through a series of focused collaborations with service providers and speedy field trials aimed to validate each new element of the installation. We highlight key achievements related to sensor design and deployment, drilling and 4D source effort. All components are validated using pre-stack data repeatability metrics on field pilot tests.
Unravelling MADS-box gene family in Eucalyptus spp.: a starting point to an understanding of their developmental role in trees (2005)

MADS-box genes encode a family of transcription factors which control diverse developmental processes in flowering plants ranging from root to flower and fruit development. Members of the MADS-box gene family share a highly conserved sequence of approximately 180 nucleotides that encodes a DNA-binding domain. We used bioinformatics tools to investigate the information generated by the Eucalyptus Expressed Sequence Tag (FORESTs) genome project in order to identify and annotate MADS-box genes. The comparative phylogenetic analysis of the Eucalyptus MADS-box genes with Arabidopsis homologues allowed us to group them into one of the well-known subfamilies. Trends in gene expression of these putative Eucalyptus MADS-box genes were investigated by hierarchical clustering analysis. Among 24 MADS-box genes identified by our analysis, 12 are expressed in vegetative organs. Out of these, five are expressed predominately in wood. Understanding of the molecular mechanisms performed by MADS-box proteins underlying Eucalyptus growth, development and stress reactions would provide important insights into tree development and could reveal means by which tree characteristics could be modified for the improvement of industrial properties.
Suppression of breast cancer metastasis through the inactivation of ADP-ribosylation factor 1 (2016)

Metastasis is the major cause of cancer-related death in breast cancer patients, which is controlled by specific sets of genes. Targeting these genes may provide a means to delay cancer progression and allow local treatment to be more effective. We report for the first time that ADP-ribosylation factor 1 (ARF1) is the most amplified gene in ARF gene family in breast cancer, and high-level amplification of ARF1 is associated with increased mRNA expression and poor outcomes of patients with breast cancer. Knockdown of ARF1 leads to significant suppression of migration and invasion in breast cancer cells. Using the orthotopic xenograft model in NSG mice, we demonstrate that loss of ARF1 expression in breast cancer cells inhibits pulmonary metastasis. The zebrafish-metastasis model confirms that the ARF1 gene depletion suppresses breast cancer cells to metastatic disseminate throughout fish body, indicating that ARF1 is a very compelling target to limit metastasis. ARF1 function largely dependents on its activation and LM11, a cell-active inhibitor that specifically inhibits ARF1 activation through targeting the ARF1-GDP/ARNO complex at the Golgi, significantly impairs metastatic capability of breast cancer cell in zebrafish. These findings underline the importance of ARF1 in promoting metastasis and suggest that LM11 that inhibits ARF1 activation may represent a potential therapeutic approach to prevent or treat breast cancer metastasis.
Development of New Methods to Assess the Outcomes of Emergency Care (1998)

ABSTRACT This article provides information supporting the need for new outcome measures in emergency care. It also addresses the use of these measures in emergency care, the impact of emergency care, identification of at‐risk groups, new approaches to measuring patient satisfaction, quality of life, and cost‐effectiveness, and the related unique implications for emergency medicine.
Nitrous oxide‐oxygen sedation in dental care (1983)

The aim of this study was to evaluate the dental treatments under nitrous oxide-oxygen sedation carried out during 1 yr by the first 45 Swedish dentists trained at probationary courses in the use of the technique. Special emphasis was placed on evaluating the risk and incidence of side effects. Data from 1719 treatment sessions in 823 patients, mainly children, were analyzed. Standardized sedation technique was used and the maximum level of nitrous oxide administered was set at 60%. About 90% of the patients showed excellent or fair acceptance. Factors influencing the acceptance were the patient's age, history of psychiatric disorders, mental retardation and occurrence of side effects. In 4.5% of the treatment sessions the patient experienced side effects, e.g. restlessness, vomiting or nausea, during treatment and in 0.9% after the treatment session. The side effects were mainly mild. No correlation was found between side effects and the nitrous oxide concentration used, length of treatment, patient's age or health classification. It is concluded that nitrous oxide-oxygen sedation is an excellent and safe aid to dental care.
Towards a brighter future (2012)

There has been a remarkable transformation in Australian government policy towards Aboriginal people. In a few short years, Australia has gone from being seen as hypocritical when speaking out about international human rights because of the manifest poor state of Australian Aboriginal health, to a country whose policies on a broad range of Indigenous initiatives - the Northern Territory intervention aside - are internationally competitive.
Criticism of nurses by nurses is unwelcome and unjustified (2012)
