Pneumothorax due to Nasogastric Feeding Tubes (1989)

• Intrapulmonary placement of small-bore nasogastric feeding tubes caused pneumothoraces in four patients. Review of the literature discloses another 106 cases of the same complication. Risk factors for intrapulmonary complications include endotracheal intubation or tracheostomy (60% of reported cases [95% confidence interval, 44% to 80%]), and altered mental status (36% of reported cases [95% confidence Interval, 24% to 53%]). We propose a simple, two-step method of feeding tube insertion designed to prevent such complications in high-risk patients. (<i>Arch Intern Med</i>1989;149:184-188)
Stochastic blockmodel approximation of a graphon: Theory and consistent estimation (2013)

Non-parametric approaches for analyzing network data based on exchangeable graph models (ExGM) have recently gained interest. The key object that defines an ExGM is often referred to as a graphon. This non-parametric perspective on network modeling poses challenging questions on how to make inference on the graphon underlying observed network data. In this paper, we propose a computationally efficient procedure to estimate a graphon from a set of observed networks generated from it. This procedure is based on a stochastic blockmodel approximation (SBA) of the graphon. We show that, by approximating the graphon with a stochastic block model, the graphon can be consistently estimated, that is, the estimation error vanishes as the size of the graph approaches infinity.
Single-Negative, Double-Negative, and Low-index Metamaterials and their Electromagnetic Applications (2007)

Spherical near-field measurements have become a common way to assess the performance of a wide variety of antennas. However, published reports on range-error assessments for spherical near-field ranges are not very common. This is likely due to the perceived additional complexity of the spherical near-field measurement process, as compared to planar or cylindrical measurement techniques. This paper will establish and demonstrate a simple procedure for characterizing the performance of a spherical near-field range. The measurement steps and reporting can be largely automated with careful attention to the test process. We will summarize the process and document the accuracy of a spherical near-field test range at nearfield systems (NSI), using the same NIST 18 terms commonly used for planar near-field measurements
Smithkline Beecham Prize for Young Psychopharmacologists (1992)

The symptoms and etiology of most major psychiatric disorders probably represent an underlying disturbance of neurotransmitter function. Understanding the mechanisms which control neurotransmitter function, and in particular neurotransmitter release, is therefore of considerable importance in determining the appropriate pharmacological treatment for these disorders. Calcium entry into neurons triggers the release of a wide range of neurotransmitters and recently our understanding of the mechanisms which control neuronal calcium entry has increased considerably. Neuronal calcium entry occurs through either voltage-sensitive or receptor-operated calcium channels. This article reviews the different subtypes of calcium channel, with particular reference to their structure; drugs which act upon them; and the possible function of the subtypes identified to date. In addition, it reviews the potential role of calcium channel antagonists in the treatment of a wide range of psychiatric disorders, and concludes that these drugs may have an increasing therapeutic role particularly in the treatment of drug dependence, mood disorders and Alzheimer's disease.
High-performance fully depleted silicon-on-insulator transistors (1990)

Thin single-crystal silicon-on-insulator films with defect densities as low as 8*10/sup 5/ dislocations/cm/sup 2/ were formed by implantation of 1.5*10/sup 18/ O/sup +//cm/sup 2/ at 150 kV into bare silicon and annealing at 1350 degrees C for 6 h in nitrogen. Thin-film submicrometer MOS transistors were fabricated with self-aligned TiSi/sub 2/ fully covering sources, drains, and gates, and with p/sup +/ and n/sup +/ polysilicon gates for PMOS and NMOS transistors, respectively, but without a lightly doped drain. Transistors with gate lengths as short as 0.4 mu m exhibited essentially long-channel behavior with no kink and with a high saturation current. The device physics was investigated using PISCES simulations, which agreed well with the experimental results. A ring-oscillator stage delay of 58 ps was obtained for 1.0- mu m gate length CMOS circuits operating at 5 V.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>
Familial hypertrophic cardiomyopathy: a genetic model of cardiac hypertrophy (1995)

Familial hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is an autosomal dominant disorder manifesting as cardiac hypertrophy in the absence of increased cardiac work load, which has been studied as a model of myocardial hypertrophy in humans. Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is genetically heterogeneous with three known disease-genes and two further mapped loci. The disease-genes encode contractile proteins of the thick and thin filaments of the sarcomere: the beta cardiac myosin heavy chain gene on chromosome 14q11, the alpha tropomyosin gene on chromosome 15q2 and the cardiac troponin T gene on chromosome 1q3. Other disease loci have been mapped to chromosome 11p13-q13 and 7q3. In each known disease-gene a number of different mutations have been identified; these are missense mutations, or mutations leading to modest alterations of peptide structure, but not null alleles. Specific mutations are associated with different disease severity and may provide diagnostic and prognostic information not available from clinical assessment. Genetic and functional data suggest that mutations which cause hypertrophic cardiomyopathy act as dominant negative alleles that impair cross-bridge cycling and contractile function and interfere with sarcomere assembly.

한국 현대소설사상 연구1 -박경리의 『김약국의 딸들』과 샤머니즘 (2010)

『김약국의 딸들』은 통영에서 대를 이어 관약국을 하던 김약국 집안의 비극적인 몰락의 이야기이다. 이러한 비극의 시원적 단초는 비상 자살에 대한 샤머니즘적 금기의 위반이다. 그러므로 `비상 묵은 자손은 지리지(번식) 않는다`는 주술적 예단은 『김약국의 딸들』의 제일의적 구성 원리이다. 그 밖에 『김약국의 딸들』은 근친애 금기, 집터와 관련된 풍수사상, 맏딸이 잘 살아야 밑의 딸들이 잘 산다.는 모방주술적 속언 등을 상호 보조적으로 활용하면서 비극적 몰락으로 점철되는 서사 메카니즘을 작동시키고 있다. 그런데 『김약국의 딸들』의 기본 서사구조가 샤머니즘적 기원에 의한 김약국 집안의 비극적 몰락이라 할지라도 이 작품은 철저히 몰락담으로만 끝나지는 않는다. 왜냐하면 몰락의 파고가 지나간 지점에서 회생을 위한 새로운 움직임이 싹트고 있기 때문이다. 그리하여 초점인물 용빈의 조모 숙정, 조부 김봉룡, 부친 김약국, 모친 한실댁, 동생 용란, 용옥이 비극적 운명의 희생자로서 철저히 파멸당한 반면 김약국의 딸 중 용숙, 용빈, 용혜는 몰락적 운명의 파고를 헤치고 나락의 지점에서 재생을 위한 방향성을 찾아낸다. 그러기에 후자는 샤머니즘적 주박이라는 운명론의 고리를 끊어내고 시대에 부응하는 새로운 지향성을 확보하기에 이른다. 그것은 용숙에게는 일상성의 레벨에서 돈의 논리가 지배하는 시대에 부자로 성공하는 것이고, 용빈에게는 근대 종교로도 어쩌지 못했던 운명론을 타개하기 위하여 문제성의 레벨에서 혁명가 강극과 동행하기로 결심하는 것이다. 그럼에도 불구하고 이 미래적 지평은 『김약국의 딸들』을 뒤덮고 있는 샤머니즘적 운명론의 그림자를 반전시킬 만큼 전면적이지 못한 것도 사실이다. 이렇게 볼 때 『김약국의 딸들』은 데뷔 이래로 근대인의 주관적 자의식을 주로 천착했던 박경리가 작가로서의 한계점을 인식하고 초기의 작품세계를 벗어나기 위해 주변 민중에 눈을 돌리는 과정에서 그들의 삶의 원리로서 샤머니즘을 포착하였지만 그에 대해 아직은 일정하게 비판적이었던 시점의 작품임을 알 수 있다. 이러한 작가적 태도는 샤머니즘의 본질을 생명사상에서 찾고자 하는 후기의 긍정적 샤머니즘 관과는 거리가 있지만, 민중을 샤머니즘적 민속 가운데에서 포착하게 함으로써 대작 『토지』로 나아가는 과정에 결정적 기여를 하고 있다는 점에 그 문학사상적 의의가 있다.
HIGH TEMPERATURE SEMICONDUCTING COMPOUNDS FOR THERMOELECTRIC POWER GENERATION. Final Comprehensive Report, December 15, 1960-December 15, 1961. Includes appendix A: CHEMICAL ANALYSIS PROCEDURES (1962)

An investigation was made of certain sulfides, selenides, -ind tellurides of U and Th with respect to their potential usefulness as high- temperature thermoelectric materials. Intermediate phases with compositions of the forms MX, MX/sub 2/, and M/sub 2/X/sub 3/ (where M - Th or U, and X - S, Se, or Te) were syntheiszed, and their Seebeck coefficients and electrical resistivities measured as functions of temperature. The only material found to have a Seebeck coefficient sufficiently high to be of particular interest was ThS/ sub 2/f, with a value of 700 mu V/ deg C at 400 deg C. Determination of the chemical and crystalline composition of the synthesized materials was found to be a serious problem, and it is recommended that any continuation of the work be concentrated on overcoming this difficulty.

Immunization of High-Risk Infants Younger Than 18 Months of Age with Split-Product Influenza Vaccine (1991)

Influenza is an important cause of serious illness in very young children with cardiopulmonary disease. A 4-year study was conducted at two centers to assess immunogenicity and safety of influenza split-product vaccine in children aged 3 to 18 months with bronchopulmonary dysplasia and congenital heart disease. A total of 113 children were studied: 62 children 3 to 5 months of age and 51 children 6 to 18 months of age. Sera were drawn prior to first and second immunization and 3 weeks after second immunization and were tested by hemagglutination inhibition; protection was defined as greater than 1:32. Ninety-five children were surveyed for adverse reactions. Seroresponses were age and antigen specific. Best responses for all ages were to A/Mississippi (H3N2) (97%). Children older than 6 months of age had better seroresponses to A/Leningrad (H3N2) (73%, P less than .03) and B/Victoria (62%, P less than .02) than did children younger than 6 months of age. Seroconversion rates to the remaining antigens were low. Only 9% of children experienced adverse reactions; all but one were mild. The immunologic mechanisms responsible for preventing serious influenzal disease and more effective immunization strategies need to be defined for very young high-risk children.

Enhanced neutrophil extravasation and rapid progression of proteoglycan‐induced arthritis in TSG‐6–knockout mice (2004)

Tnfip6 is a multifunctional antiinflammatory protein that is produced at the site of inflammation and can be retained by the hyaluronan-rich extracellular matrix. A major effect of Tnfip6 is the inhibition of the extravasation of PMN cells, predominantly neutrophils, into the site of inflammation, most likely via a CD44/hyaluronan/Tnfip6-mediated blocking mechanism.
A gesture-based CAPTCHA design supporting mobile devices (2015)

In this paper we present the design and evaluation of a mobile user friendly CAPTCHA (Completely Automated Public Turing test to tell Computers and Humans Apart) scheme based on our previous work. Unlike the commonly used character recognition based CAPTCHA schemes that require a user to type the distorted characters shown in an image to pass security checks, this scheme allows a user to use gestures to operate specific objects on the screen so as to complete a CAPTCHA quiz. Moreover, it uses partially processed or distorted textual instruction to prevent a bot from easily figuring out the objects to operate for retaining the security of the scheme as a bot cannot utilize context effects as easily as human users can. A comparative study is also conducted to understand the usability performance of this gestured based scheme against Google ReCAPTCHA, a popular character recognition scheme, where better usability has been reported with the former when both were used on smartphones.

High-Fidelity Transport of Trapped-Ion Qubits through an<mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><mml:mi mathvariant="bold">X</mml:mi></mml:math>-Junction Trap Array (2009)

We report reliable transport of (9)Be(+) ions through an "X junction" in a 2D trap array that includes a separate loading and reservoir zone. During transport the ion's kinetic energy in its local well increases by only a few motional quanta and internal-state coherences are preserved. We also examine two sources of energy gain during transport: a particular radio-frequency noise heating mechanism and digital sampling noise. Such studies are important to achieve scaling in a trapped-ion quantum information processor.
Effects of a herbal gel containing carvacrol and chalcones on alveolar bone resorption in rats on experimental periodontitis (2008)

Carvacrol and dimeric chalcones are the respective bioactive components of Lippia sidoides and Myracrodruon urundeuva, popular medicinal plants of Northeastern Brazil with proven antimicrobial and antiinflammatory properties. Periodontal disease is associated with inflammation and microbiological proliferation, thus the study aimed to investigate the effect of a topical gel based on carvacrol and chalcones in the experimental periodontal disease (EPD) in rats. Animals were treated with carvacrol and/or chalcones gel, immediately after EPD induction, three times a day for 11 days. Appropriate controls were included in the study. Animals were weighed daily. They were killed on day 11, the mandibles dissected and alveolar bone loss was measured. The periodontium were examined at histopathology and the neutrophil influx into the gingiva was assayed using myeloperoxidase activity. The bacterial flora were assessed through culture of the gingival tissue. Alveolar bone loss was significantly (p < 0.05) inhibited by combined carvacrol and chalcones gel, compared with the vehicle and non-treated groups. The treatment with the combined gel reduced tissue lesion at histopathology, decreased myeloperoxidase activity in gingival tissue and inhibited the growth of oral microorganisms as well as the weight loss. Carvacrol and chalcones combination gel has a beneficial effect upon EPD in this model.
The fabrication of high frequency fundamental crystals by plasma etching (2003)

A method is described for manufacturing AT-cut high-frequency-fundamental crystals up to 150 MHz. Individual samples at fundamental frequencies up to 500 MHz have also been fabricated, demonstrating that batch production of crystals with very high fundamental frequencies is also feasible. Plasma etching is used for recessing blanks to the desired thickness. High-quality quartz is essential as the starting material and careful preparation of the blanks prior to plasma etching is required. Examples of electrical parameter measurements on production batches of crystals at fundamental frequencies between 60 MHz and 150 MHz are given, together with results from sample crystals at frequencies up to 500 MHz.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>

Text-to-Viz: Automatic Generation of Infographics from Proportion-Related Natural Language Statements (2019)

Combining data content with visual embellishments, infographics can effectively deliver messages in an engaging and memorable manner. Various authoring tools have been proposed to facilitate the creation of infographics. However, creating a professional infographic with these authoring tools is still not an easy task, requiring much time and design expertise. Therefore, these tools are generally not attractive to casual users, who are either unwilling to take time to learn the tools or lacking in proper design expertise to create a professional infographic. In this paper, we explore an alternative approach: to automatically generate infographics from natural language statements. We first conducted a preliminary study to explore the design space of infographics. Based on the preliminary study, we built a proof-of-concept system that automatically converts statements about simple proportion-related statistics to a set of infographics with pre-designed styles. Finally, we demonstrated the usability and usefulness of the system through sample results, exhibits, and expert reviews.
Microporous polymer foams for biomaterials (1988)

A variety of microcellular foams were prepared for use in the fabrication of targets for inertial confinement fusion and pulsed driven x-ray lasers. The process consists of three steps. First a polymer and solvent are heated above their critical temperature to achieve a homogenous polymer solution. Next, the solution is quenched in a controlled fashion, usually within a mold. Quenching results in the formation of bi-continuous phases: a polymer-rich phase and a solvent-rich phase. Once phase separation has occurred, the solution can be frozen or alternatively with certain polymers the solution may form a stable gel. In the final step, the solvent is removed by sublimation of the frozen solvent or by liquid extraction of a resulting gel leaving behind a microcellular polymer foam. By controlling the phase separation during the quench, the foam morphology and pore size can be varied. 8 refs., 4 figs.

Remote dynamically reconfigurable network processing middlebox (2015)

Remote dynamically reconfigurable platforms use dynamic reconfiguration to provide solutions for applications to cope with changes in both functional and performance requirements. Most existing remote dynamically reconfigurable platforms are inefficient in handling dynamic reconfiguration process. This is due to the use of general-purpose processor in their designs or having limited partial bitstream transmission throughput that results in long device down-time. This thesis presents an architecture of remote dynamically reconfigurable middlebox on NetFPGA development board. The developed platform relies on a customized reconfiguration controller and Internal Configuration Access Port to achieve dynamic reconfiguration. In addition, this platform uses 1Gbps Ethernet link for partial bitstreams transmission to achieve remote update. In order to offer maximum flexibility for network processing, this work includes an architecture that allows remote updates on packetforwarding as well. This allows packet-forwarding algorithm and its implementation to be optimized or customized after deployment. A case study on network protection using this platform is included in this thesis to verify application functionality updates. All hardware designs are verified using ModelSim simulation and tested experimentally using the NetFPGA development board. The developed remote dynamically reconfigurable platform is stand-alone and can achieve remote functional update without the need of a host computer. Based on experimental results, the proposed platform achieves 350Mbps reconfiguration throughput, which is significant for mass remote update as device downtime for update is reduced. The developed platform is suitable to be used as network processing middlebox.
Cyclodextrins in Polymer Synthesis: Supramolecular Cyclodextrin Complexes of Pyrrole and 3,4-Ethylenedioxythiophene and Their Oxidative Polymerization (2000)

Cyclodextrins can act as hosts for heteroaromatic compounds to produce stable, odorless, complexes that can be oxidatively polymerized in water, it is reported here. The preparation and structural analysis of ratio 1:1 host–guest complexes for several types of cyclodextrin with pyrrole or 3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene (see Figure), and their reaction in water to give conjugated polymers are presented here (see also cover).
The Escherichia coli G-fimbrial lectin protein participates both in fimbrial biogenesis and in recognition of the receptor N-acetyl-D-glucosamine (1995)

The gafD gene encoding the N-acetyl-D-glucosamine-specific fimbrial lectin (adhesin) protein GafD of uropathogenic Escherichia coli was cloned and subjected to genetic analysis. The corresponding gene product was isolated as a MalE fusion protein. The lectin gene was identified with the aid of deletion mutagenesis; mutations in gafD impaired either receptor binding or both receptor binding and fimbria production, depending on the mutation created. All mutants converted to wild-type expressors when complemented in trans with the cloned intact gafD gene. The predicted 354-amino-acid sequence of GafD, deduced from the nucleotide sequence, is closely related to those of the fimbria-associated F17-G and F17b-G proteins coded for by enterotoxigenic and invasive E. coli strains. Isolated GafD was shown to recognize N-acetyl-D-glucosamine by virtue of specific binding to an immobilized receptor, thus proving directly that GafD is a sugar-binding protein. Our results indicate that GafD as such is sufficient for receptor recognition and that the protein also participates in fimbrial biogenesis.
