The Majord'Home: a SDN approach to let isps manage and extend their customers'home networks (2014)

As the number and variety of connected devices increase, most end-users find themselves unable to manage their home networks properly, not having enough time and/or knowledge to do so. In this paper, we propose a new approach to remove this burden from them, by fully virtualizing the home network and delegating its management and operations to the ISP, while keeping end-users in control. We furthermore define the architecture of our software-based Majord'Home solution. Acting as a majordomo of the home, it handles a representation of the home objects and network constraints, automates the connectivity between heterogeneous elements and thus meets the needs of end-users. We finally describe the first version of our on-going implementation as a proof of concept.
Determination and mapping of hydrothermal alteration zones in exploration Marbin area (North of Zefreh) by remote sensing, field observations and petrology investigations (2019)

In this research, the altered and non-altered zones in Marbin exploration area has been determined by VNIR and SWIR wavelengths processing of ASTER satellite images and by False Color composite and band ratio methods. Marbin exploration area is situated in Urumieh-Dokhtar magmatic belt. Marbin index is located in the east of Zefreh fault within central part of Zefreh pull apart basin. The composition of Eocene subvolcanic and volcanic units of this area is rhyolite to dacite. The spectral of sericite, epidote, calcite and chlorite minerals in this area have been recognized by using the Spectral angle mapper (SAM). Finally with combination of spectral of index minerals in phyllic and propyllitic alteration zone with field observations, petrograghy and geochemical analysis, the alteration zones map in Marbin area have been prepared. As a result, phyllic and propylitic alterations as well as silicification are index alterations in this area. Based on litho-geochemical analysis, high contents of Mo/Cu and occurrence of hydrothermal alterations besides other evidences, Marbin index can be introduced as a porphyry deposit with Mo anomaly. This could be indicative of the potential of this area for the molybdenum mineralization in detailed exploration phase.
Network Effects, network structure and consumer interaction in mobile telecommunications (2005)

The aim of this paper is to estimate the importance of (induced) network effects in the use of mobile telephones and the impact of the structure of social networks on a consumer’s adoption decision. This is done using social network data obtained from a survey of second year undergraduate students at the University of Nottingham Business School. We find that students strongly coordinate their choice of mobile phone operators, but do this only for operators which charge a price difference between on- and off-net calls. Coordination is strongest within groups of students who frequently interact with each other, but weaker with students from outside their group. Furthermore, the students did not coordinate their choice of mobile handsets – there rather is a tendency to choose a different handset than the one used by their friends.
47 Casos de artritis reumatoidea tratada con acupuntura y moxibustión, en distinas fases del curso terapéutico (2007)

Recent concerns have been raised regarding whether antidepressants, especially selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) might increase suicidal tendencies and intense debate-rages over the pros and cons of their use. Although systematic reviews and population-based studies have been conducted, a consensus on this association remains to be established. Subsequently, the concept of so-called 'activation syndrome' associated with antidepressants has been accepted without its adequate verification. In the present report, we present our experience of seven cases considered of having 'activation syndrome' brought on by antidepressants, and examine its clinical relevance to bipolar spectrum disorder (Ghaemi, et al., 2001) both symptomatologically and diagnostically. Five patients, diagnosed as having major depressive disorder according to the diagnostic manual (DSM-IV), met the criteria of bipolar spectrum disorder and suffered from activation syndrome following the administration of SSRIs, mainly paroxetine. Similarly, hypomania developed in all five cases with depression; the diagnostic criteria of a hypomanic episode were not met. In the remaining two patients, who were both diagnosed with bipolar disorder, one showed irritability and insomnia through imipramine use, and the another developed a hypomanic and/or a mixed state after the co-administration of fluvoxamine and trazodone. From the results of our examination, 'bipolarity', which is the pivotal factor of bipolar spectrum, might exist behind the phenomenon recognized as activation syndrome, and be revealed by antidepressant treatment, just like manic switching. Moreover, the various problems encountered in the current practice of treating mood disorders, including unipolar-bipolar dichotomy, manic switching by antidepressants, and narrow criteria for a mixed episode, were pointed out a new through this concept of activation syndrome. Actually, the understanding of activation syndrome clinically leads to the prevention of suicidal behavior and the careful use of antidepressants for bipolar (spectrum) disorder, but we must be prudent when applying this concept, since it has not yet been established.
Equilibrium binding of thrombin to platelets (1976)

Binding of human [125I]thrombin to washed human platelets was studied in order to analyze the nonenzymic aspects of the thrombin stimulation of platelets. Highly purified alpha-thrombin that was iodinated with lactoperoxidase retained full clotting and esterase activities and full activity toward platelets, was not distinguished from native thrombin by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis or gel chromatography, and bound to platelets the same as unlabeled thrombin. Bound and free [125I]thrombin were measured after rapid separation of platelets from the suspending medium by centrifugation through oil. Maximum binding was within 15 s, the shortest time measured. At concentrations of thrombin sufficient to cause less than maximal platelet stimulation, 90% of the total thrombin was free in the suspending solutions. Equilibrium binding was established, with both free thrombin and free platelets retaining activity, and with rapid reequilibration after dilution or addition of unlabeled thrombin. The equilibrium was complex, with the apparent number of binding sites and dissociation constants dependent on thrombin concentration. Analysis of bound thrombin as a function of thrombin concentration by double-reciprocal and Scatchard plots indicated 300-400 high affinity sites (Kdiss = 1.8-2 nM); these correlate with thrombin stimulation of Ca2+ secretion, which shows half maximal effect at 1.5 nM thrombin and maximal effect with 500-600 thrombins bound per platelet.
Expression of gastric cancer-associated MG7 antigen in gastric cancer, precancerous lesions and<i>H. pylori</i>-associated gastric diseases (2002)

MG7 antigen expression is highly specific in gastric cancer and can be used as a good marker for screening of gastric cancer; type III intestinal metaplasia, atrophic gastritis and dysplasia should be followed up and MG7 antigen expression has high clinical value in the dynamic follow-up study; although the positive -MG7 in positive -H. pylori superficial gastritis show benign morphology in features, there is still the potential risk of developing into gastric cancer, hence special attention should be paid to those showing increasing MG7 antigen expression.

Interleukin-1 modulates periprosthetic tissue formation in an intramedullary model of particle-induced inflammation (2005)

These results implicate IL-1 as an important modulator in the local inflammatory response to intramedullary titanium particles. MCP-1 appears to be significantly modulated in IL-1r1-KO mice in response to titanium particles. This may be responsible, in part, for the diminished periprosthetic membrane observed in IL-1r1-KO mice at 2 weeks. Expansion of this murine model of intramedullary particle-induced inflammation to other gene targets may contribute to a more mechanistic understanding of wear-debris associated prosthesis failure.
An integrated circuit v.h.f. radio receiver (1980)

A radio receiver system for frequency-modulated signals is described which uses a direct conversion (zero intermediate frequency) technique. The characteristics of the system are developed especially in areas of difference from conventional methods.The realization is shown of the complete receiver in two integrated circuits which form part of a synthesized 30 to 88 MHz equipment. The conclusion is drawn that the combination of direct conversion and large-scale integration is a very powerful means for future development of radio receiver techniques.
A critique of community-based primary prevention of adolescent pregnancy. (1991)

In summary, adolescent pregnancy is a major public health problem. Although the magnitude of mortality is low, the magnitude of morbidity is enormous. Even though adolescent pregnancy rates have not increased in recent years, these rates remain high. The economic and psychosocial costs of adolescent pregnancy are staggering. Admittedly, adolescent pregnancy does not fit a conventional infectious disease model of an easily transmitted disease with a high potential for rapid spread. However, it is possible that role identification and behavior modeling could influence the occurrence of adolescent pregnancy in susceptible adolescents. Moreover, for many years public health authorities have acknowledged the critical significance of noninfectious causes of unnecessary mortality and morbidity. Very importantly, adolescent pregnancy is preventable. I agree strongly with Dr. Norr that the nursing profession is ideally suited to take a leadership role in community-based adolescent pregnancy prevention. Dr. Norr has stressed the important role of nurses in family planning clinics, school health, and nursing education. I would like to stress the important role of nurses in two additional specialty settings. First, I believe nurse researchers can make tremendous contributions to better characterize the distribution, determinants, and effective prevention of adolescent pregnancy. Second, because of their appreciation of community needs and their knowledge of community resources, I believe nurses in public health departments may be in the very best position to take a leadership role in community-based prevention of pregnancy among adolescents. In closing, I commend Dr. Norr on her thoughtful review. The need to initiate and augment community action to prevent adolescent pregnancy is compelling.
The Role of Microbial Amino Acid Metabolism in Host Metabolism (2015)

Disruptions in gut microbiota composition and function are increasingly implicated in the pathogenesis of obesity, insulin resistance, and type 2 diabetes mellitus. The functional output of the gut microbiota, including short-chain fatty acids and amino acids, are thought to be important modulators underlying the development of these disorders. Gut bacteria can alter the bioavailability of amino acids by utilization of several amino acids originating from both alimentary and endogenous proteins. In turn, gut bacteria also provide amino acids to the host. This could have significant implications in the context of insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes mellitus, conditions associated with elevated systemic concentrations of certain amino acids, in particular the aromatic and branched-chain amino acids. Moreover, several amino acids released by gut bacteria can serve as precursors for the synthesis of short-chain fatty acids, which also play a role in the development of obesity. In this review, we aim to compile the available evidence on the contribution of microbial amino acids to host amino acid homeostasis, and to assess the role of the gut microbiota as a determinant of amino acid and short-chain fatty acid perturbations in human obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Each and every patient will have its own secure manageable cloud space. Patients can store and manage medical records in their cloud health wallet anytime anywhere. The patient can replace hardcopy of medical records with their cloud medical wallet.
Increased plasma neurotensin concentrations in patients with Parkinson's disease (2001)

Plasma neurotensin (NT) was measured by radioimmunoassay in propanol extracted and unextracted plasma from 16 parkinsonian patients (four before treatment) and 16 age and sex matched controls. Mean plasma NT concentrations were consistently higher in parkinsonian patients than in controls and higher in the four untreated patients than in levodopa treated patients suggesting that plasma NT measurement may represent an easy detectable additional index in diagnosing parkinsonism and provides a novel approach to research in this field.
Expression of Ovarian Prolactin Receptor in Relation to Hormonal Changes during Induction of Ovulation in the Rat (2001)

We examined the relationships between the expression of the short and long forms of the prolactin (PRL) receptor (PRLR) mRNA in the ovary and changes in the levels of serum hormones such as sex steroid hormones and PRL during induction of ovulation in the rat. The expression of both forms of PRLR mRNA in the ovary was examined by Northern blot analysis in immature female rats treated with pregnant mare serum gonadotropin (PMSG) and human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG). Ovarian tissues and blood samples were obtained before treatment, 24 and 48 h after PMSG injection and 4, 6, 8, 12, 24 and 48 h after hCG treatment. Serum levels of 17beta-estradiol, progesterone and PRL were determined by radioimmunoassay. Serum levels of 17beta-estradiol rapidly increased to a maximal level 48 h after PMSG injection and then rapidly declined until 4 h after hCG injection. Serum levels of progesterone gradually increased after PMSG treatment, markedly increased to 114.2 nmol/l 8 h after hCG treatment and remained high until 48 h after hCG treatment. The serum level of PRL peaked at 66.2 microg/l (p < 0.01) 48 h after PMSG injection, and a temporary decrease after hCG treatment was followed by a continuously high level from 8 to 48 h. The expression of the long form of PRLR mRNA increased significantly (p < 0.01) to 688% of the control level after PMSG treatment, while that of the short form increased to only 184% of the control level. The expression of the long form of PRLR-mRNA rapidly declined until 6 h and then gradually increased until 48 h after hCG treatment. On the other hand, the expression of the short form of PRLR mRNA decreased to a nadir 12 h after hCG injection and then increased significantly (p < 0.01) to 142% of the control level. Our results showed that the changes in the short and long forms of PRLR mRNA differed in a time-specific manner and that these two forms are involved in different functions in the rat ovary during induction of ovulation. It is thought that the long form of PRLR mRNA is involved in folliculogenesis, while the short form of PRLR mRNA may play an important role in the formation and maintenance of the corpus luteum in the rat ovulatory cycle.
Secure Data Devolution (2015)

Homomorphic encryption can support meaningful operations on encrypted data, and hence it enables users to outsource their data in encrypted format to cloud services. However, homomorphic encryption cannot operate on ciphertexts with different keys in general. To resolve the problem, re-encryption allows operations on such ciphertexts by unifying the different keys into a new one. In this paper, we focus on the scheme proposed by Brakerski and Vaikuntanathan (CRYPTO 2011), and give a practical re-encryption method. Our strategy for efficient re-encryption is to simply rewrite the decryption circuit and then to evaluate the circuit homomorphically with auxiliary information. In particular, our method requires only a few homomorphic operations for re-encryption, and it can be applied to various applications such as secure key exchange for collaboratively computing multiple users' data in the cloud.
Transient or steady‐state? Using vertical temperature profiles to quantify groundwater–surface water exchange (2009)

Abstract Heat is recognized as a natural tracer to identify the exchange of water between the groundwater and surface water compartment. One‐dimensional (1D) heat transport models have the ability to obtain quantitative estimates of vertical fluxes through the sediment matrix. Input to these models can come from temperatures observed in the surface water and in the bed material of rivers and lakes. The upper thermal boundary condition at the groundwater–surface water interface is affected by seasonal and diurnal temperature variations. We hypothesize that effects of these transient influences are negligible at certain times of the year, such that the vertical temperature distribution can be approximated to be at steady state. Temperature time series observed over a year in the surface water and at several depths below a river in Belgium and in sediments of an acid mine lake in Eastern Germany were simulated with a heat balance model implemented in FEMME and the water and energy model VS2DH to obtain seepage fluxes. Temperature variations throughout the year at all depths could be adequately reproduced with the transient models. Vertical temperature profiles at several measuring times during the year were also fitted with an analytical, steady‐state solution for 1D heat transport and the obtained fluxes compared to the results from transient simulations. Fluxes obtained from the much simpler steady‐state solution were compared well with the flux rates from transient simulations for moments between mid and late summer, as well as during the winter. During transitional seasons (fall and spring), the fluxes from the steady‐state solution deviated significantly from the transient estimates with a tendency to underestimate at the beginning and to overestimate towards the end of those seasons. We conclude that fitting a simple analytical solution for 1D vertical heat transport to temperature data observed at particular well‐selected times of the year can provide an inexpensive, simple method to obtain accurate point estimates of groundwater–surface water exchange in rivers and lakes.

Brain Metastases of Breast Cancer (2007)

Central nervous system or brain metastases traditionally occur in 10-16% of metastatic breast cancer patients and are associated with a dismal prognosis. The development of brain metastases has been associated with young age, and tumors that are estrogen receptor negative, Her-2+ or of the basal phenotype. Treatment typically includes whole brain irradiation, or either stereotactic radiosurgery or surgery with whole brain radiation, resulting in an approximately 20% one year survival. The blood-brain barrier is a formidable obstacle to the delivery of chemotherapeutics to the brain. Mouse experimental metastasis model systems have been developed for brain metastasis using selected sublines of human MDA-MB-231 breast carcinoma cells. Using micron sized iron particles and MRI imaging, the fate of MDA-MB-231BR cells has been mapped: Approximately 2% of injected cells form larger macroscopic metastases, while 5% of cells remain as dormant cells in the brain. New therapies with permeability for the blood-brain barrier are needed to counteract both types of tumor cells.
Attentional Enhancement Opposite a Peripheral Flash Revealed Using Change Blindness (2003)

We describe a new method for mapping spatial attention that reveals a pooling of attention in the hemifield opposite a peripheral flash. Our method exploits the fact that a brief full-field blank can interfere with the detection of changes in a scene that occur during the blank. Attending to the location of a change, however, can overcome this change blindness, so that changes are detected. The likelihood of detecting a new element in a scene therefore provides a measure of the occurrence of attention at that element's location. Using this measure, we mapped how attention changes in response to a task-irrelevant peripheral cue. Under conditions of visual fixation, change detection was above chance across the entire visual area tested. In addition, a "hot spot" of attention (corresponding to near-perfect change detection) elongated along the cue-fixation axis, such that performance improved not only at the cued location but also in the opposite hemifield.
Dynamic Analysis of Proviral Induction and De Novo Methylation: Implications for a Histone Deacetylase-Independent, Methylation Density-Dependent Mechanism of Transcriptional Repression (2000)

Methylation of cytosines in the CpG dinucleotide is generally associated with transcriptional repression in mammalian cells, and recent findings implicate histone deacetylation in methylation-mediated repression. Analyses of histone acetylation in in vitro-methylated transfected plasmids support this model; however, little is known about the relationships among de novo DNA methylation, transcriptional repression, and histone acetylation state. To examine these relationships in vivo, we have developed a novel approach that permits the isolation and expansion of cells harboring expressing or silent retroviruses. MEL cells were infected with a Moloney murine leukemia virus encoding the green fluorescent protein (GFP), and single-copy, silent proviral clones were treated weekly with the histone deacetylase inhibitor trichostatin A or the DNA methylation inhibitor 5-azacytidine. Expression was monitored concurrently by flow cytometry, allowing for repeated phenotypic analysis over time, and proviral methylation was determined by Southern blotting and bisulfite methylation mapping. Shortly after infection, proviral expression was inducible and the reporter gene and proviral enhancer showed a low density of methylation. Over time, the efficacy of drug induction diminished, coincident with the accumulation of methyl-CpGs across the provirus. Bisulfite analysis of cells in which 5-azacytidine treatment induced GFP expression revealed measurable but incomplete demethylation of the provirus. Repression could be overcome in late-passage clones only by pretreatment with 5-azacytidine followed by trichostatin A, suggesting that partial demethylation reestablishes the trichostatin-inducible state. These experiments reveal the presence of a silencing mechanism which acts on densely methylated DNA and appears to function independently of histone deacetylase activity.
