A Case Report of Acute Myeloid Leukemia after Liver Transplantation (2013)

Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a rare complication observed after liver transplantation and only a handful of cases have been reported until now. We report a case of acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) after liver transplantation in a 50-year-old man. The case presentation was postodontectomy bleeding with an associative abnormal coagulation test 85 months after liver transplantation. A routine blood test, bone marrow test, chromosome analysis and examination of PML/RARα chimeric gene confirmed the diagnosis of APL and disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC). Induction chemotherapy with all-trans retinoic acid, arsenic trioxide and daunorubicin was given to this patient and complete remission was achieved. The patient was subjected to DA (daunorubicin combined with cytarabine) and MA (mitoxantrone combined with cytarabine) regimens after remission induction to consolidate the chemotherapy for two courses of treatment, and subsequently subjected to arsenous acid chemotherapy on a periodic basis. Twenty-two months into the follow-up, sustained bone marrow remission was observed with the adapted treatment regimen.
EMP (Electro-Magnetic Pulse) weapon technology along with EMP shielding &amp; detection methodology (2013)

In today's world we are surrounded by the most sophisticated & hi-tech microprocessor & microcontroller technology, which controls transport, finance, Electricity, Communications, etc. An EMP (Electro-Magnetic Pulse) has the destructive tendency to devastate any electronic equipment in its specified path range, causing electronic equipment to burn out. With the continuous development, use & dependability of modern day equipment, it is almost impossible for us go back from the current microelectronic generation. This makes the Electro-Magnetic Pulse one of the most deadliest & Terrifying weapon in the world causing huge collateral & infrastructural damage to any nation & her interests. This paper includes all the basses of Electro-Magnetic Pulse generation & it's possible causes & effects on the nearby electronic components within its specified range capability. Along with miniature prototypes that are developed, so as to demonstrate the effect of Electro-Magnetic Pulse on various smart & dumb devices & their consecutive role in Modern Warfare as Directed Energy Weapons (DEW's). Currently, there is a lot of research going on the ElectroMagnetic Pulse phenomenon. Scientists in military & defense organizations around the world are working on the EMP Technology & its application as a weapon in Military Warfare. There is even subsequent research going on in the shielding of crucial electrical & electronic components against an EMP attack. The current EMP shields developed can only prevent a small amounts of Electro-Magnetic Pulse. However, a perfect shield against an EMP attack of huge intensity is still not devised, although Ferro-Magnetic cages provides a protective shield against an EMP strike. However it's nearly impossible to realize every structure, building, Electronic gadget or vehicle shielded by Ferro-magnetic Cages. As it doesn't only cause inconvenience in its installation but even has a huge initial capital coast for its total installation, hence doesn't make it economically viable to construct.
Keyphrase extraction based on semantic relatedness (2010)

Keyphrase extraction is a fundamental research task in natural language processing and text mining. A limitation of previous keyphrase extraction methods based on semantic analysis is that the acquisition of the semantic features within phrases is restricted by the constructed thesaurus and language. An approach to the acquisition of the semantic features within phrases from a single document is proposed in this paper, which is used to extract document keyphrases. Semantic relatedness degrees between phrases are computed using word co-occurrence information in the document, and the document is represented as a relatedness graph. Keyphrases are extracted based on the semantic relatedness features acquired from the graph. Our experiments demonstrate that the proposed keyphrase extraction method always outperforms the baseline methods TFIDF and Kea. Furthermore, our approach is not domain-specific and the method generalizes well when it is trained on one domain (journal articles) and tested on another (news web pages).
Measuring the Effectiveness of Privacy Policies for Voice Assistant Applications (2020)

Voice Assistants (VA) such as Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant are quickly and seamlessly integrating into people's daily lives. The increased reliance on VA services raises privacy concerns such as the leakage of private conversations and sensitive information. Privacy policies play an important role in addressing users' privacy concerns and informing them about the data collection, storage, and sharing practices. VA platforms (both Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant) allow third-party developers to build new voice-apps and publish them to the app store. Voice-app developers are required to provide privacy policies to disclose their apps' data practices. However, little is known whether these privacy policies are informative and trustworthy or not on emerging VA platforms. On the other hand, many users invoke voice-apps through voice and thus there exists a usability challenge for users to access these privacy policies. In this paper, we conduct the first large-scale data analytics to systematically measure the effectiveness of privacy policies provided by voice-app developers on two mainstream VA platforms. We seek to understand the quality and usability issues of privacy policies provided by developers in the current app stores. We analyzed 64,720 Amazon Alexa skills and 2,201 Google Assistant actions. Our work also includes a user study to understand users' perspectives on VA's privacy policies. Our findings reveal a worrisome reality of privacy policies in two mainstream voice-app stores, where there exists a substantial number of problematic privacy policies. Surprisingly, Google and Amazon even have official voice-apps violating their own requirements regarding the privacy policy.
[Lipid blood spectrum in patients with amiodarone associated hypothyroidism. Effect of replacement therapy with L-thyroxine]. (2005)

Blood lipid levels were measured in 23 patients with amiodarone associated hypothyroidism (most of them had ischemic heart disease). Abnormalities of lipid spectrum were found in 12 of these patients. All 12 patients were subjected to replacement therapy with l-thyroxine. Compensation of thyroid status was associated with average 12.6 and 12.3% lowering of total and low density lipoprotein cholesterol, respectively. However target levels of low density lipoprotein cholesterol were achieved only in 1 patient. There were no significant changes of high density lipoprotein cholesterol and triglycerides.
Combination of small interfering RNAs mediates greater inhibition of human hepatitis B virus replication and antigen expression (2005)

Our results demonstrated that siRNAs exerted robust and specific inhibition on HBV replication and antigen expression in a cell culture system and combination of siRNAs targeting different regions exhibited more potency.
Young??s Modulus Measurements of Gas Permeable Contact Lens Materials (1991)

The Young's modulus of elasticity of a range of commercially available gas permeable contact lens materials was measured using specially prepared samples. Significant differences were found in materials such that groupings could be made on the basis of oxygen permeability. The highest value of Young's modulus was found with the lowest Dk polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) and the lowest measured value with the highest Dk (Fluoroperm 90). The value for the 3M (Advent) material correlated with its high Dk (100). The results confirm that the greater the oxygen permeability of a material the greater will be the flexibility. When fitting and designing lenses for a toric cornea practitioners must balance the increase in center thickness to offset flexing with the corresponding decrease in oxygen transmissibility. Conversely it may be that lenses can be designed to flex where this would be an advantage. It is suggested that material manufacturers provide Young's modulus data to help practitioners understand more fully the materials they prescribe.
Probing Trace Phenols Based on Mediator-Free Alumina Sol−Gel-Derived Tyrosinase Biosensor (2000)

A novel tyrosinase biosensor has been developed for the subnanomolar detection of phenols, based on the immobilization of tyrosinase in a positively charged Al2O3 sol-gel membrane on a glassy carbon electrode. It has been found that Al2O3 sol-gel is perfectly beneficial to the immobilization of tyrosinase, because it not only possesses the general advantages of sol-gel but it also is an effective promoter of the biosensor. The large microscopic surface area, porous morphology, and hydrophilic property of the sol-gel matrix result in high enzyme loading, and the enzyme entrapped in this matrix retains its activity to a large extent. The Al2O3 sol-gel-containing surface also displays an intrinsic electrocatalytic o-quinone response and, hence, offers a high-sensitivity (127 microA mM(-1)) monitoring of phenols. The detection limit is 0.2 nM at a signal-to-noise ratio of 3, the response time is less than 4 s reaching 95% of the steady-state value, and 70% of the activity is retained after 3 months.
Vertical Transmission of Hepatitis C Virus: Risk Factors and Infantile Prognosis* (1998)

The frequency of HCV vertical transmission was 6.2%. Half of the carrier infants became seronegative for HCV-RNA. HCV vertical transmission was significantly affected by the maternal serum ALT level prior to delivery.
Control of PWM voltage source inverter in the pulse dropping region to reduce reflected wave motor over-voltage (2011)

PWM AC drives generate high line-line motor voltage, up to twice DC bus voltage, due to the reflected wave phenomenon. Under certain conditions, motor voltage greater than twice DC bus voltage can occur, resulting in winding insulation failure. It is well known that by suitably adjusting the PWM pulse pattern, the occurrence of voltages greater than twice DC bus voltage can be avoided, up to a certain maximum cable length, beyond which output filters are typically used to limit peak motor voltage. It will be shown in this paper that when the inverter operates in the pulse dropping region, voltages greater than twice DC bus voltage will occur, with existing methods for pulse pattern compensation. A method to adjust the PWM pulse pattern in the pulse dropping region to ensure the same reflected wave performance as the linear PWM region is presented in this paper. Experimental results are provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.
Total Plasma Homocysteine and Cardiovascular Risk Profile (1995)

Elevated plasma tHcy level was associated with major components of the cardiovascular risk profile, ie, male sex, old age, smoking, high blood pressure, elevated cholesterol level, and lack of exercise. These findings should influence future studies on the etiology and pathogenesis of cardiovascular disease.
The guanine nucleotide exchange factor Tiam1: A Janus-faced molecule in cellular signaling (2013)

The Rho family of GTPases consists of several small proteins that have been described as molecular switches, playing important roles in a wide variety of fundamental cellular processes and in human diseases such as cancer. These proteins, active in the GTP conformation and inactive in the GDP form, are in turn regulated by guanine nucleotide exchange factors (GEFs), guanine nucleotide activating proteins (GAPs) and guanine dissociation inhibitors (GDIs). Two decades ago, Tiam1 (T-lymphoma invasion and metastasis) was identified as a GEF specific for Rac1 activation, but also for Cdc42 and in a lesser extent RhoA. Acting principally upstream of Rac1, Tiam1 is mainly involved in the regulation of Rac1 mediated signaling pathways including cytoskeletal activities, cell polarity, endocytosis and membrane trafficking, cell migration, adhesion and invasion, cell growth and survival, metastasis and carcinogenesis. However, given the large number of protein interaction domains found in its structure, it is possible that Tiam1 affects cellular processes in another way than through its GEF activity by interactions with other signaling proteins. Due to its functional diversity, Tiam1 is involved in multiple steps of tumorigenesis. As its name suggests, Tiam1 has been shown to increase T-cell lymphoma invasion and metastasis. It also promotes migration of fibroblasts, neuronal and cancer cells. On the contrary, Tiam1-induced cell adhesion has also been described, as opposed to cell migration. Moreover, studies indicate that Tiam1 is involved in both anti-apoptotic and pro-apoptotic mechanisms. While increasing evidence has demonstrated Tiam1's contribution to tumorigenesis and metastasis, others suggest that Tiam1 could have anti-cancer properties. In the present review, we discuss the current knowledge about the controversial roles of Tiam1 in cellular signaling. In particular, we will focus on Tiam1's regulation, its biological functions and implication in cancer.
Design and Installation of a Cost Effective Completion System for Horizontal Chalk Wells Where Multiple Zones Require Acid Stimulation (1997)

Abstract An innovative completion design that allows multiple acid fracs to be performed in horizontal subsea chalk-formation wells with a single trip into the wellbore has recently been codeveloped by a major North Sea operator and an oilfield engineering/manufac-turing/service company. The project was initiated to develop a system that would allow multiple acid stimulations to be efficiently performed in the shortest possible time in the North Sea Joanne Field. The system ultimately developed allows acid stimulation of up to 10 different zones in a single trip with no through-tubing intervention. The first well in which this new technique was used had 7 zones, and 3 additional wells with 10 zones each were later completed. The development of this system and case histories of the first four subsea wells requiring stimulation will be presented in the paper. The key element of the system is a multi-stage acid frac tool (MSAF) that is similar to a sliding sleeve circulating device and is run in the closed position. Up to 9 MSAF tools can be run in the completion with isolation of each zone being achieved by hydraulic-set retrievable packers that are positioned on each side of an MSAF tool. Each sleeve contains a threaded ball seat with the smallest ball seat in the lowest sleeve and the largest ball seat in the highest sleeve. With this system, stimulation of 10 separate zones is accomplished in 12-18 hours by a unique procedure that lubricates varying sized low-specific gravity balls into the tubing and then pumps them to a mating seat in the appropriate MSAF, thus sealing off the stimulated zone and allowing stimulation of the next zone which is made accessible by opening the sleeve. This technique provided a substantial reduction in the operational time normally required to stimulate multiple zones and allowed the stimulations to be precisely targeted within the reservoir. The case history data will provide comparisons in operational times between traditional stimulations and this new method as well as the significant enhancements to cost efficiency that resulted from its use. Additionally, this completion method allowed the stimulations to be designed and matched to the requirements of each reservoir zone, which provided the most cost efficient treatments possible.
DGGAN: Depth-image Guided Generative Adversarial Networks for Disentangling RGB and Depth Images in 3D Hand Pose Estimation (2020)

Estimating 3D hand poses from RGB images is essential to a wide range of potential applications, but is challenging owing to substantial ambiguity in the inference of depth information from RGB images. State-of-the-art estimators address this problem by regularizing 3D hand pose estimation models during training to enforce the consistency between the predicted 3D poses and the ground-truth depth maps. However, these estimators rely on both RGB images and the paired depth maps during training. In this study, we propose a conditional generative adversarial network (GAN) model, called Depth-image Guided GAN (DGGAN), to generate realistic depth maps conditioned on the input RGB image, and use the synthesized depth maps to regularize the 3D hand pose estimation model, therefore eliminating the need for ground-truth depth maps. Experimental results on multiple benchmark datasets show that the synthesized depth maps produced by DGGAN are quite effective in regularizing the pose estimation model, yielding new state-of-the-art results in estimation accuracy, notably reducing the mean 3D endpoint errors (EPE) by 4.7%, 16.5%, and 6.8% on the RHD, STB and MHP datasets, respectively.
Contemporary medical therapy for gastroesophageal reflux disease. (1997)

Gastroesophageal reflux disease is a chronic disorder that requires long-term therapy in most patients. The appropriate medical therapy should be individualized to the severity of symptoms, the degree of esophagitis and the presence of other acid-reflux complications. Lifestyle changes should form the basis of any therapeutic approach. In patients with mild to moderate disease, initial therapy with histamine H2-receptor antagonists in conventional dosages is suggested. Prokinetic agents are potentially useful in patients with impaired esophageal or gastric motor function, but their efficacy as single agents does not appear to surpass that of standard doses of H2 blockers. Sucralfate, a cytoprotective agent, is an additional therapeutic option. For patients with more severe disease, omeprazole and lansoprazole provide unequaled healing rates and accelerated symptom relief. In most patients, maintenance therapy is vital. Surgery is indicated in patients whose disease is refractory to medical therapy and in those who develop complications not amenable to medical therapy.
NUTRIENT AND LIGHT LIMITATION OF ALGAE IN TWO NORTHERN CALIFORNIA STREAMS<sup>1</sup> (1988)

ABSTRACT Nutrient‐diffusing subsrates were used to investigate nutrient limitation of attached algal assemblages in a shaded stream and an unshaded stream in northern California. Water from both streams contained low levels of nitrogen (< 14 μg.L −1 ) and very low N:P ratios (< 2). After 31 days of colonization and growth, attached algal biomass on nitrate‐diffusing substrates was significantly greater than on control substrates in the unshaded stream. Nitrate‐diffusing substrates also supported larger numbers of grazing insects in the unshaded stream. The prostrate diatoms Achnanthes lanceolata Bréb. and Coconeis placentula Ehr. displayed the most consistent positive responses to nitrate enrichment. Nutrient enrichment did not increase the accrual of algal biomass in the shaded stream, but algal biomass was significantly greater at sites located under openings in the tree canopy, implicating light as a limiting factor in this stream. Several Navicula and Nitzschia species, and one unidentified Gomphonema species, were positively associated with higher light levels in the shaded stream. Shade appears to be the primary factor limiting algal growth in small northern California streams, but when its effect is reduced by logging, the inherently low levels of nitrogen in these streams can become limiting.

Synthesis and properties of polyamides containing imidazoline rings (1997)

Abstract The novel polyamide containing an imidazoline ring(PAI) was synthesized by a two‐stage melt polymerization of dimethyl terephthalate (DMT) with diethylenetriamine (DETA) or triethylenetetramine (TETA). The heat resistance of PAI was superior to that of polyamide which was synthesized only in the first‐stage reaction and didn't contain imidazoline ring. Their chemical structures were identified by infrared spectroscopy and NMR. The optimum condition for production was studied by varying several reaction factors, including the contents of H 2 O and H 3 PO 4 , the reaction temperature and the reaction time at second‐stage reaction under vacuum. According to study of the characteristics of solution behavior of PAI, both the viscosity and the degree of cyclization could be described by equation of magnified image in m‐cresol at 30°C.
Electrical characteristics of heavily arsenic and phosphorus doped polycrystalline silicon (1982)

The dependence of resistivity, carrier concentration, and grain size upon the impurity concentration and heat-treatment temperature for heavily As- and P-doped chemical-vapor-deposited polycrystalline Si is experimentally investigated, and compared with the resistivity and carrier concentration in single-crystal Si. It is found that the resistivity and carrier concentration in polycrystalline Si are mainly determined by those in crystallite and the grain size which is dependent upon the heat-treatment temperature. Evaluating the segregation of As atoms at grain boundaries from the experimental results of As diffusion into single-crystal Si from polycrystalline Si, it is found that, even when impurity atoms scarcely segregate at grain boundaries, the carrier concentration in polycrystalline Si is lower than that in single-crystal Si. To explain the phenomenon, it is assumed that impurity atoms are electrically inactive in the disordered region near the grain boundaries. Combining the above assumption and the experimental results, the width of the disordered region and carrier trapping density at grain boundaries are estimated to be 110 Å and 4×1012 cm−2, respectively, for the samples heat treated at 1200 °C. It is suggested that As-doped polycrystalline Si has a higher grain boundary barrier resistance than P-doped polycrystalline Si.
