Clinical neuropsychology : a pocket handbook for assessment (1998)

"The initial goal that had led to the first edition of this book remains unchanged. That is, we hope to provide a ready reference to assist the busy clinician or doctoral-level trainee selecting from among the many hundreds of tests and assessment techniques that are widely available. A principal aim of this reference book is to help guide the clinician in developing tailored, hypothesis-driven approaches for the assessment of patients with a broad range of common neuropsychological syndromes or neurological disorders. As before, this volume is designed for health care providers who need to make examination strategy decisions rapidly while working in the hospital inpatient unit. For the advanced trainee, we hope that this book will prove particularly useful at times when your clinical supervisors are not readily available themselves. This volume should provide for clinical neuropsychology what already exists for most all other medical or health care specialties: a diagnostic guide that fits into the lab coat pocket (I concede that this book may be a bit heavy for some pockets!). Such manuals "for the house officer" (at least one for each specialty) provide a ready source of information to aid in the differential diagnoses of relevant clinical syndromes. With this edited volume, we attempt to provide a readily available handbook for neuropsychology interns, postdoctoral fellows, and practicing clinicians"--Book.

Rapid Estimates of Relative Water Content (1974)

Relative water content may be accurately estimated using the ratio of tissue fresh weight to tissue turgid weight, termed here relative tissue weight. That relative water content and relative tissue weight are linearly related is demonstrated algebraically. The mean value of r(2) for grapevine (Vitis vinifera L. cv. Shiraz) leaf tissue over eight separate sampling occasions was 0.993. Similarly high values were obtained for maize (Zea mays cv. Cornell M-3) (0.998) and apple (Malus sylvestris cv. Northern Spy) (0.997) using a range of leaf ages. The proposal by Downey and Miller (1971. Rapid measurements of relative turgidity in maize (Zea mays L.). New Phytol. 70: 555-560) that relative water content in maize may be estimated from water uptake was also investigated for grapevine leaves; this was found to be a less reliable estimate than that obtained with relative tissue weight. With either method, there is a need for calibration, although this could be achieved for relative tissue weight at least with only a few subsamples.
Reactivity patterns and infection status of serum samples with indeterminate Western immunoblot tests for antibody to human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (1992)

Serum samples with indeterminate Western blot (WB) tests from 61 individuals whose sera were positive by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) were studied in order to characterize their putative reactions with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) proteins and to resolve the HIV infection status of these individuals. The reaction observed by WB could not be confirmed either by radioimmunoprecipitation assay and subsequent electrophoresis (RIPA) or by use of LiaTek (Organon Teknika, Turnbout, The Netherlands) in 28% of the samples. Of the 86 samples that were indeterminate by WB, 66 reacted with p24 by WB; this reaction was confirmed by RIPA in only 21 (32%) and by LiaTek in 49 (74%) of the 66 samples. On the other hand, none of the indeterminate samples that reacted with HIV envelope proteins by WB did so by LiaTek, while 50% precipitated at least some of these proteins in the RIPA. The sensitivities of the three methods for detecting the antibody reaction with the different HIV proteins, which were studied with serial dilutions of positive serum samples, were similar. Thus, a lower sensitivity of RIPA or LiaTek does not seem to be the cause for the lack of reaction of the WB-indeterminate samples by these two methods. Sequential samples from individuals whose serum samples reacted by the three methods gave reproducible results, but all showed low antibody titers. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells obtained from three of the four individuals with sequential samples that reacted with HIV env proteins by WB and RIPA were negative for HIV provirus DNA after amplification by the polymerase chain reaction.
Virulence of Streptococcus mutans: characterization of a serotype g antigen-defective mutants and its revertants (1981)

A mutant of Streptococcus mutans 6715 HSR, which is defective in serotype antigen and designated C307, was shown to exhibit full virulence on buccal, sulcal, and proximal surfaces similar to that of 6715 HSR. In addition, this bacterium caused significant decay on the lingual surfaces. Its colonial morphology and certain biochemical activities which may be related to caries production were distinct from those of 6715 HSR. This mutant adsorbed to saliva-treated hydroxyapatite beads in greater amounts and aggregated in the presence of either sucrose or dextran in excess of that seen with the parent strain. The abilities of C307 to grow and to produce acid from sucrose and to adhere to glass surfaces were similar to that of 6715 HSR. Although revertants of C307 exhibited biological activities and a content of serotype g antigen similar to that of 6715 HSR, the virulence pattern was still unlike the parent strain. These results suggest that the serotype g antigen is not required for the adherence of cells to smooth surfaces or for caries formation and that the loss of this antigen may alter the surface of cells causing enhanced ability of the cells to aggregate and to adsorb to saliva-treated hydroxyapatite beads.
Interconnect Modeling and Analysis in the Nanometer Era: Cu and Beyond (2005)

This paper highlights key emerging issues in the domain of interconnect modeling and analysis. The implications of various nanoscale effects on VLSI interconnect performance, reliability, power dissipation and parasitic extraction are also presented. Finally, promising new technologies are outlined which have the potential to meet these interconnect challenges in the nanometer era.
Thermally Assisted All‐Optical Helicity Dependent Magnetic Switching in Amorphous Fe<sub>100–<i>x</i></sub>Tb<sub><i>x</i></sub> Alloy Films (2013)

All-optical switching (AOS) in ferrimagnetic Fe(100-x)Tb(x) alloys is presented. AOS is witnessed below, above, and in samples without a magnetic compensation point. It is found that AOS is associated with laser heating up to the Curie temperature and intimately linked to a low remanent sample magnetization. Above a threshold magnetization of 220 emu/cc helicity dependent AOS is replaced by pure thermal demagnetization.

Estrogenic and Anticarcinogenic Properties of Kurarinone, a Lavandulyl Flavanone from the Roots of <i>Sophora </i><i>f</i><i>lavescens</i> (2004)

Kurarinone, a lavandulyl flavanone, was isolated from a polyphenolic extract of the roots of Sophora flavescens using fractionation guided by estrogenic activity, which was determined by recombinant yeast and Ishikawa Var-I bioassays. Kurarinone showed weak estrogenic activity both in the yeast screen and in the Ishikawa Var-I assay with EC(50) values of 4.6 and 1.66 microM, respectively. Furthermore, kurarinone was found to have potent cytotoxic activity (IC(50) value = 22.2 microM) against human MCF-7/6 breast cancer cells in the sulforhodamine-B assay.
High bandwidth current mode amplifier for envelope modulated RF amplifiers (2010)

A high bandwidth discrete current mode amplifier capable of driving large voltages into low impedances is presented. A differential current mirror output stage ensures stability at high frequencies. Small signal bandwidth is 24 MHz and large signal bandwidth extends into the megahertz region. When amplifying the AC component of a 3 MHz 3rd generation partnership project (3GPP) long term evolution (LTE) envelope signal, an efficiency of 19.1% is achieved at 18.8 V peak-to-peak output across a 15 Ω load.
THEORY OF WELDING OF METALLIC PARTS IN MICROWAVE CAVITY APPLICATOR (2012)

We have been successfully welding bulk metals and dissimilar metals by microwave radiation, by using metal powder particles in the weld zone. In this paper, we have tried to explain the insight of electromagnetic field penetration into spherical conductive powder particles and its spatial oscillatory distribution. This new developed theoretical explanation here, gives insight as to how the entire weld zone volume becomes heat source; via absorption of microwave radiation, and thus this process of welding with microwave radiation, is with inertia less heat transfer, volumetric heating with inverted temperature profile. 1.
Stress produced by gavage administration in the rat. (2000)

This research project examined the relationship between gavage administration of various vehicles and induction of the stress response, as defined by increased plasma corticosterone levels, in the rat. In addition, we assessed elicitation of clinical signs of distress and aspiration leading to airway/pulmonary changes. We studied various vehicles used in toxicology studies, including water, corn oil, and 1% methylcellulose/0.2% Tween 80. Male CD rats received a single gavage administration of vehicle, blood was collected 1 h after dosing for measurement of plasma corticosterone, and necropsies were performed 4 h after dosing. Gavage administration of corn oil at. 20 mL/kg, but not 1% methylcellulose/0.2% Tween 80 or water, induced a stress response in a volume-dependent fashion, resulting in elevated plasma corticosterone levels. This response was not due to aspiration, which occurred after administration of. 20 mL/kg of water or 1% methylcellulose/0.2% Tween 80 but not corn oil. Administration of corn oil at 40 mL/kg resulted in plasma corticosterone levels that were elevated for 4 h. The stress response produced by corn oil was not unique to this vehicle but also occurred after gavage administration of sesame, soybean, and peanut oils. Our data indicate that gavage dosing of lipid vehicles induces activation of the stress response, as indicated by increased adrenal output of corticosterone, in a volume-dependent fashion. In conclusion, gavage administration of various vehicles can result in aspiration, pulmonary injury, and/or elicitation of a stress response in a vehicle- and dose volume-dependent fashion. The results of our project suggest that dose volumes for gavage administration in the rat generally should not exceed 10 mL/kg.
Low temperature solid phase crystallization of amorphous silicon at 380 °C (1998)

Amorphous silicon (a-Si) was crystallized by metal induced crystallization (MIC) in an electric field. A 2 nm Ni layer on a-Si was used for the crystallization. The MIC temperature can be reduced to 380 °C in an electric field of 360 V/cm. The Ni-MIC poly-Si has a crystalline volume fraction of 92% with an average grain size of ∼150 nm. The fact that the crystallization temperature can be reduced appears to be due to the enhancement of NiSi2 migration through a-Si in an electric field.
An ECL 100K-compatible 1024x4 bit RAM with 15 ns access time (1979)

An ECL 100K-compatible 1024/spl times/4 bit RAM with 15 ns access time, 900 mW power dissipation, and a chip size of 18.3 mm/SUP 2/ has been developed for caches and control memories of high-performance computer systems. The 1K/spl times/4 organisation mode combines the lower cost per bit of a 4K-bit device with the higher memory-module design flexibility of a 1K word unit. The excellent speed performance together with the high packing density have been achieved by using an oxide isolation technology with oxide-walled emitters in conjunction with novel circuit techniques.
Autonomous device for photostimulation of the gastrointestinal tract immunity (2000)

A very small optoelectronic device emitting light in the red and green band has been developed as a small capsule consisting of two semispheres connected with light-transmitted coupling. The device -- a phototablet permits to irradiate all parts of the gastro-intestinal tract (GIT) including the immunocompetent formations of the small intestine -- Peyer's patches responsible for production of secretory immunoglobulins A (IgA). The main mechanisms of realizing endogenic phototherapy using a phototablet begin functioning when irradiating both the walls of the GIT organs and its contents. The results of clinical trials of the phototablet testify to a favorable effect of endogenic therapy on the human organism in asthenic syndrome, some types of deficiency in the immunity function, in dysbioses, the syndrome of large intestine irritation, duodenostasis, etc. After endogenic phototherapy the patients had an increased level of lysozyme, leukocytes, a number of lactobacteria. There were no side effects when using a phototablet. Indications and contraindications for endogenic phototherapy were represented. Thus, the method of endogenic phototherapy allows us to have an effective and direct influence on the immunocompetent cells of GIT organs without medicamental agents and antigens that makes it possible to use the phototablet in medicine on a large scale.
피부 전이암에 대한 면역조직화학 염색법의 응용 (1987)

Immunohistochemial staining was performed in metastatic skin cancer using a variety of antistera. Both carcinoembrytonic antigen(CEA) and epithelial membrane antigen(EMA) were demonstrated in large cell carcinoma of the lung, adenocarcinoma of the stomach and skin adnexal cancer with eccrine differentiation. Although papillary carcinoma of the thyroid, squamous cell carcinoma of the skin and squamous cell carcinoma of the lung showed positive staining for CEA and EMA, these were weak or focal reactions in the keratinizing area. In rectal adenocarcinoma, staining for CEA was significantly positive, but staining for EMA was negative. Epiderrnal cytokeratin was observed in squamous cell carcinoma of the lung, squamous cell carcinoma of the skin and skin adnexal cancer with eccrine differentiation. Epidermal cytokeratin was also demonstrated in well differentiated adenocarcinoma of the gastrointestinal tract. By using a variety of tumor markers, the authors tried to locate possible primary sites in six metastatic skin cancers of unknown origin.
Regulation of adhesion molecule expression by CD8 T cells in vivo. II. Expression of L-selectin (CD62L) by memory cytolytic T cells responding to minor histocompatibility antigens. (1994)

Activation of murine T cells by Ag or mitogens results in changes in the expression of several cell-surface adhesion molecules that alter the way in which these cells migrate and localize in tissues in vivo. As naive CD8 precursor cells in lymph nodes (LN) differentiate into effector CTL in response to a skin allograft, they up-regulate their expression of Pgp-1 (CD44), VLA-4, and LFA-1 (CD11a/18), while down-regulating L-selectin (CD62L). All cytolytic activity is therefore present in this minor population of L-selectin- Pgp-1high LN T cells. We now report that, late after rejection of minor histocompatibility Ag-disparate skin grafts, the majority of memory CD8 T cells express both L-selectin and Pgp-1 and thus would be expected to migrate via the classical route of recirculation through LN. Furthermore, restimulation of these memory cells by Ag causes them to down-regulate L-selectin, so that memory-effector cells have the same L-selectin- Pgp-1high phenotype as do primary effector cells. These results are in contrast to recent reports that murine and ovine CD4 memory cells do not express L-selectin or recirculate through LN high endothelial venules. In addition, although virgin and naive CD4 cells may be divided based upon their expression of CD45RA or CD45RB, memory CD8 cells cannot be differentiated by their expression of CD45 isoforms.
Dystrophin‐Associated Proteins and the Muscular Dystrophies: A Glossary (1996)

Recent advances in understanding the muscular dystrophies illustrate the powerful reciprocal interaction between investigations of molecular pathogenesis of diseases (e.g. Duchenne muscular dystrophy or DMD) and basic problems in molecular biology (e.g. the molecular composition of the muscle membrane). In less than a decade, studies of DMD have led to the discovery not only of dystrophin ( Increasingly, defects in the genes encoding these proteins have been identified as the cause of diverse forms of muscular dystrophy. As recently reviewed (26,
Fault detection and isolation in aircraft gas turbine engines. Part 2: Validation on a simulation test bed (2008)

The first part of this two-part paper, which is a companion paper, has developed a novel concept of fault detection and isolation (FDI) in aircraft gas turbine engines. The FDI algorithms are built upon the statistical pattern recognition method of symbolic dynamic filtering (SDF) that is especially suited for real-time detection and isolation of slowly evolving anomalies in engine components, in addition to abrupt faults. The FDI methodology is based on the analysis of time series data of available sensors and/or analytically derived variables in the gas path dynamics. The current paper, which is the second of two parts, validates the algorithms of FDI, formulated in the first part, on a simulation test bed. The test bed is built upon an integrated model of a generic two-spool turbofan aircraft gas turbine engine including the engine control system.
Ichthyosis: Mechanisms of Disease (1992)

The disorders of cornification (ichthyoses) comprise acquired and inherited disorders characterized clinically by generalized scaling and histologically by hyperkeratosis. They may arise through defects in the production or maintenance of a normal cornified cell compartment, or both. The stratum corneum is composed of protein-enriched and lipid-depleted corneocytes ("bricks") surrounded by an intercellular domain ("mortar") composed of hydrophobic, lipid-enriched membrane bilayers, and containing desmosomes and a limited array of hydrolytic enzymes. Mechanisms whereby a genetic defect involving either the bricks or the mortar may result in abnormal stratum corneum retention are discussed using ichthyosis vulgaris and recessive X-linked ichthyosis as examples. In addition, epidermal hyperproliferation, which floods the cornified cell compartment with incompletely formed units, results in hyperkeratosis. To date, no primary disorders of epidermal hyperproliferation have been defined. Recent work, however, demonstrates that stratum corneum barrier function regulates epidermal DNA synthesis. For example, in essential fatty acid deficiency, barrier dysfunction is responsible at least in part ror the epidermal hyperproliferation. Defective barrier function due to defective lamellar body secretion may also underlie the phenotypic changes after birth in harlequin ichthyosis; that is, from the massive, constrictive hyperkeratosis of the newborn to an exfoliative erythroderma in survivors. The mechanisms whereby specific defects in cornification result in generalized scaling disease are only beginning to be defined. Yet, even at this early stage, the view of the stratum corneum as a tightly organized structure whose function is highly regulated is emerging. Hence, the disorders of cornification should provide important insights into stratum corneum structure and function.
PROSPECT (2010)

Companies often receive thousands of resumes for each job posting and employ dedicated screeners to short list qualified applicants. In this paper, we present PROSPECT, a decision support tool to help these screeners shortlist resumes efficiently. Prospect mines resumes to extract salient aspects of candidate profiles like skills, experience in each skill, education details and past experience. Extracted information is presented in the form of facets to aid recruiters in the task of screening. We also employ Information Retrieval techniques to rank all applicants for a given job opening. In our experiments we show that extracted information improves our ranking by 30% there by making screening task simpler and more efficient.
Recommendations for Interoperable Networks using Intermediate System to Intermediate System (IS-IS) (2004)

This document discusses a number of differences between the Intermediate System to Intermediate System (IS-IS) protocol as described in ISO 10589 and the protocol as it is deployed today. These differences are discussed as a service to those implementing, testing, and deploying the IS-IS Protocol. A companion document discusses differences between the protocol described in RFC 1195 and the protocol as it is deployed today for routing IP traffic.
Vertically integrated submicron amorphous-In2Ga2ZnO7 thin film transistor using a low temperature process (2012)

In this work, vertically integrated amorphous-In2Ga2ZnO7 (a-IGZO) thin film transistors (V-TFTs) with 310 nm channel length were fabricated using a low temperature process (&lt;300 °C), and their device performance was evaluated. The fabricated V-TFTs show well behaved transfer characteristics with an Ion/Ioff current ratio greater than 104 and a threshold voltage of 1.7 V. The influence of the vertical structure on device performance was analyzed in detail. In addition, current polarity characteristics that arise from different metal/a-IGZO contacts were also examined. The non-optimum performance of the V-TFTs was attributed to the fringing-field effect, high defect density, and large source/drain contact resistance.
Maternal or umblical venous levels of nitrite/nitrate during pregnancy and at delivery. (1999)

A decrease in maternal serum levels of nitrite/nitrate near term may support a hypothesis that NO is one of factors responsible for the maintenance of uterine quiescence during pregnancy. Moreover, the present results suggest that NO plays some role in the feto-placental circulation during a spontaneous delivery.
