First Report of Vancomycin-Resistant Staphylococci Isolated from Healthy Carriers in Brazil (2005)

Reduced susceptibility or resistance to vancomycin has been reported among clinical isolates of staphylococci in previous studies. In the present study we report on the isolation of four vancomycin-resistant staphylococcal strains from healthy carriers inside and outside the hospital environment. These carriers did not receive treatment with any antibiotic. All coagulase-negative staphylococcal strains showed variable levels of resistance to several antimicrobial agents, including oxacillin, and unstable resistance to vancomycin, with decreased vancomycin MICs (<4 mg/liter) after 10 days of passage in a nonselective medium. However, exposure of these revertants to vancomycin selected staphylococcal strains resistant to vancomycin at very high frequencies (10(-2) and 10(-3)). The vancomycin resistance in these staphylococcal strains was not mediated by the van gene. The cell wall of the staphylococcal strains studied became thickest after culture in medium containing vancomycin, and the differences in cell wall thickness were statistically significant (P < 0.001). Thus, the thickening of the cell wall in these staphylococcal strains may be an important contributor to vancomycin resistance.

A Novel Band-Reject Element for Pseudoelliptic Bandstop Filters (2007)

A novel band-reject element for the design of inline waveguide pseudoelliptic band-reject filters is introduced. The element consists of an offset partial-height post in a rectangular waveguide in which the dominant TE <sub xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">10</sub> mode is propagating. The location of the attenuation pole is primarily determined by the height of the post that generates it. The element allows the implementation of weak, as well as strong coupling coefficients that are encountered in asymmetric band-reject responses with broad stopbands. The coupling strength is controlled by the offset of the post with respect to the center of the main waveguide. The posts are separated by uniform sections of the main waveguide. An equivalent low-pass circuit based on the extracted pole technique is first used in a preliminary design. An improved equivalent low-pass circuit that includes a more accurate equivalent circuit of the band-reject element is then introduced. A synthesis method of the enhanced network is also presented. Filters based on the introduced element are designed, fabricated, and tested. Good agreement between measured and simulated results is achieved
The Combined Use of the Evidence Theory and Fuzzy Logic for Improving Multimodal Nondestructive Testing Systems (2005)

A data fusion approach for improving weld inspection by multimodal nondestructive testing (NDT) is investigated. The method relies on the combined use of evidence theory and fuzzy logic. In this framework, X-ray and ultrasonic inspection is modeled using fuzzy sets and mass function in evidence theory, and objects corresponding to X-ray and ultrasonic testing are fused at the level of features. The results show that the fusion improves significantly the reliability of defect detection and the defect sizing.
ICG 청정검사에 있어서 고식적 정맥채혈 방법과 Finger Monitoring 방법간의 비교 (2003)

Background : The indocyanine green (ICG) finger monitoring method is a newly developed noninvasive method for the ICG clearance test. This study was performed to determine its clinical usefulness compared with the conventional blood sampling method. Methods : The ICG clearance test was performed on 270 patients using both the conventional blood sampling method and the finger monitoring method simultaneously. The plasma disappearance rate of the ICG and the 15-minute retention ratio (ICG R15) were analyzed and compared with the conventional blood sampling method. Results : The plasma disappearance rate using the finger monitoring method was slightly lower than that of the conventional blood sampling method with good correlation (r=0.840, P
ICT-Linked Firm Reorganisation and Productivity Gains (2004)

In the EU, most large firms use e-business applications, such as enterprise resource planning and online procurement. Based on e-business watch data for EU-4 (Germany, France, Italy and the United Kingdom) we find that the actual use of enterprise resource planning and online procurement is positively correlated with labour productivity growth. Furthermore, we find that certain e-business applications, such as Knowledge Management Solution (KMS) systems and CRM systems are significantly positively correlated to either sectoral skill intensity or information technology intensity. The results from the empirical analysis based on Community Innovation survey (CIS 3) data confirm the hypothesis that the introduction of business practices and new organisational practices are highly correlated. Furthermore, there is a significantly positive relationship between labour productivity growth and the percentage of enterprises with new or significantly changed organisational structures based on industry data for some EU countries.
Establishment of a canine monocyte cell line. (2000)

A swine monocyte cell line was established from peripheral blood sample collected from a healthy adult male pig. The cloned cells grow actively in forming monolayers in both glass and plastic cell culture flasks with the growth medium reported previously (Kadoi, 2000) at 36.5 degrees C incubation. The plating efficiency is more than 95%. Densely grown cells in flasks show an epithelioid morphology. The fundamental properties of the cells were examined for cytological definition as monocytes. A positive property detected was guinea pig complement receptor, porcine IgG receptor, non-specific esterase, and acid phosphatase. A significant phagocytic activity proved by the inoculation of Saccharomyces cerevisiae is also one of the characteristics observed in the LPS-activated cells.
Review of Modern Spacecraft Thermal Control Technologies (2010)

Originally created and developed for space applications, several commercial terrestrial technologies still permeate our society today. Examples include solar cells, Global Positioning Systems, and less expensive methods of carbon nanotube manufacture. Given a long and successful history of spinoffs, there might exist opportunities for the transfer of modern spacecraft thermal control technologies to terrestrial HVAC&R applications. First, this paper presents a broad overview of spacecraft thermal control. Next, a review of several modern spacecraft thermal control subsystem technologies is provided, each including an assessment of their potential use for terrestrial applications.

Late Helladic IIIA 1 Pottery From Mycenae (1964)

Whatever absolute dates are to be attached to the L.H. IIIA 1 period, its historical significance is indisputable. At present this significance derives mainly from events outside Greece itself, the fall of Knossos and the disruption in the Aegean area which went before it. On the mainland, although in South Greece no major event can be associated with the period, in Boeotia the fall of the palace at Thebes has been dated to L.H. IIIA 1 and has been a source of much speculation.
Structural basis for germline antibody recognition of HIV-1 immunogens (2016)

Efforts to elicit broadly neutralizing antibodies (bNAbs) against HIV-1 require understanding germline bNAb recognition of HIV-1 envelope glycoprotein (Env). The VRC01-class bNAb family derived from the VH1-2*02 germline allele arose in multiple HIV-1-infected donors, yet targets the CD4-binding site on Env with common interactions. Modified forms of the 426c Env that activate germline-reverted B cell receptors are candidate immunogens for eliciting VRC01-class bNAbs. We present structures of germline-reverted VRC01-class bNAbs alone and complexed with 426c-based gp120 immunogens. Germline bNAb-426c gp120 complexes showed preservation of VRC01-class signature residues and gp120 contacts, but detectably different binding modes compared to mature bNAb-gp120 complexes. Unlike typical antibody-antigen interactions, VRC01-class germline antibodies exhibited preformed antigen-binding conformations for recognizing immunogens. Affinity maturation introduced substitutions increasing induced-fit recognition and electropositivity, potentially to accommodate negatively-charged complex-type N-glycans on gp120. These results provide general principles relevant to the unusual evolution of VRC01-class bNAbs and guidelines for structure-based immunogen design.
Precious-metal-base advanced materials (1993)

The precious metals are basically known for their applications in jewelry, coins, bullions and catalysis. The reality is thas prcdous- 3tals constitute also the base of several advanced materials used in the industry in hundreds of metric tom. Since forties, platinum alloys have been used as structural materials for quipments in the glass industry. The essential reason for this is the excellent resistance of platinum doys to oxidation and elcmolytical corrosion in molten glasses at temperatures as high as l2fX-LWC. The major drawback is a weak creep resistance. In the case of all conventional platinum alloys, the 100 h aeep resistance at 1lWC is smallu than 10 h4F&apos;a while the s t rw to cause rupture in 1000 h at 1100°C for superalloys is about 100 MPa The unique way for significant improvement of platinum base mate &amp; aeep resistance is a strengthening by an oxide dispersion (011s). In the cas of CLAL&apos;s patented &apos;Plativef materials, 0.05 wt % of Y * is incorporated within the alloy matrix by the flame spraying process. The aeep behaviour of such ODs materials shows a 100 times creep rate reduction comparing to conventional platinum alloys. Th &amp; to the fact that the mean size of oxide particles is included between 2000 and 4000 A, the obtained materials don&apos;t exihiiit any loss of plastiaty in comparison of conventional Pt alloys.

Variation in age at death of dogs of different sexes and breeds (1983)

A retrospective study of necropsy data for 2,002 dogs showed that the mean age at death of neutered dogs of both sexes exceeded that of intact dogs, but the differences were not significant. A wide variation in mean age at death of 56 breeds and cross breeds, 3.0 to 9.9 years, was found. This variation was not correlated with mean breed body weight. An attempt was made to explain the variability by finding diseases to which dogs of the short-lived breeds were particularly susceptible. This was not possible in general, since the samples of each breed were small and the total number of diseases from which they died so large. Dogs of long-lived breeds died of diseases appropriate to their age, particularly cancer, 39% of the sample. In the sample as a whole, cancer accounted for 20% of deaths at 5 years and increased to and remained between 40% and 50% from 10 to 16 years of age.
The Dead Sea Scrolls: A Mormon Perspective (1983)

Many LDS readers are aware of the general outlines of the probable account of their uncovering: how a Bedouin lad, while climbing in the rugged hills that ring the northwest sector of the Dead Sea, threw a rock into a small opening about three feet in diameter one of the hundreds of caves and depressions in that area and heard the crash of breaking pottery. His curiosity led him to investigate. What he discovered inside were amphora jars containing the first of the
Cloning and Sequencing of the Genome of Chicken Anaemia Virus(CAV)TK-5803 Strain and Comparison with Other CAV Strains. (1996)

The complete genomic sequence of chicken anaemia virus (CAV) TK-5803 strain was determined. Comparisons of sequence data showed 37 nucleotide differences between TK-5803 and Cux-1, 38 nucleotide differences between TK-5803 and 26P4, and 48 nucleotide differences between TK-5803 and 82-2. There were 65 nucleotide differences in the largest open reading frame (ORF3) between TK-5803 and one Australian isolate. Base changes introduced amino acid changes at 6 positions in the C-terminal half of VP3, at 4 positions in the C-terminal quarter of VP2 and at 17 positions in VP1 among the strains. These indicate that the N-terminal half of VP3 and the N-terminal three quarter of VP2 are well conserved, and might sustain essential function of these proteins. The amino acid changes in VP1 which is thought to be the capsid protein may influence the antigenic character of different VP1s.
Position Auctions with Externalities and Brand Effects (2014)

This paper presents models for predicted click-through rates in position auctions that take into account two possibilities that are not normally considered—that the identities of ads shown in other positions may affect the probability that an ad in a particular position receives a click (externalities) and that some ads may be less adversely affected by being shown in a lower position than others (brand effects). We present a general axiomatic methodology for how click probabilities are affected by the qualities of the ads in the other positions, and illustrate that using these axioms will increase revenue as long as higher quality ads tend to be ranked ahead of lower quality ads. We also present appropriate algorithms for selecting the optimal allocation of ads when predicted click-through rates are governed by either the models of externalities or brand effects that we consider. Finally, we analyze the performance of a greedy algorithm of ranking the ads by their expected cost-per-1000-impressions bids when the true click-through rates are governed by our model of predicted click-through rates with brand effects and illustrate that such an algorithm will potentially cost as much as half of the total possible social welfare.
New synthesis of 11‐acyl‐5,11‐dihydro‐6<i>H</i>‐pyrido[2,3‐b][1,4]‐benzodiazepin‐6‐ones and related studies (1983)

Abstract New synthesis of 11‐acyl‐5,11‐dihydro‐6 H ‐pyrido[2,3‐b][1,4]benzodiazepin‐6‐ones ( 42‐44 ) is reported. The crucial steps (Scheme VI) represented N ‐oxydation of 1 ( 1A ) to 35 ( 35A ), facilitated ring‐closure of 36 into 37 , its subsequent N ‐α‐chloroacetylation to 38 , aminolysis to 39‐41 (involving N‐O anchimeric assistance as depicted in 38A ) and deoxygenation to 42‐44 (Scheme VII). The central intermediate 37 is also obtained on oxygenation of 2 , a new synthesis of which was reported in the previous paper of this series [3]. Other attempts of cyclisation “from the top” or “from the bottom” (Scheme I) are described. Thus, interaction of 1 with acetamide afforded 3 and 4 instead of the expected 2A . Compound 5 cyclised into 3‐pyridoquinazolone 6 while its 2‐(4′‐methylpiperazin‐1′‐yl analogue 9 was observed to be unstable for the attempted ring‐opening and reclosure to 42 . “From the bottom” cyclisations of 10A‐10C , via intermediary amines 11A‐11C failed and pyridoquinazolinone 13 was isolated (Scheme V). The attempted oxidative cyclisation of the compounds 15 and 18 into 2 and 42 , respectively, 13 afforded imidazolo[5,4‐ b ]pyridine derivative (18–19), while 15 remained unchanged. 3‐Acylamino‐2‐arylaminopyridines ( 21‐24 ), cyclised into imidazolopyridines 29‐30 . Model compounds 45‐50 were prepared to study selective aminolysis of the chlorine atoms in 2‐chloro‐3‐(2′‐chlorobenzoyl)aminopyridine 1 , and its N ‐oxide 35 .
Regulation of Factor VIIIa in the Intrinsic Factor Xase (1999)

Introduction Hemophilia A, the most common of the severe, inherited bleeding disorders, results from a deficiency or defect in the plasma protein factor VIII. The activated form of the protein serves as an essential cofactor for factor IXa in the conversion of factor X to factor Xa. This surface-bound complex of enzyme and cofactor is referred to as the intrinsic factor Xase. Factor VIIIa dramatically increases the catalytic rate constant for substrate conversion by an unclear mechanism. The activity and stability of the factor Xase appears to be regulated by the integrity of the cofactor. Factor VIIIa possesses a labile structure, and subunit dissociation results in the decay of Xase activity. Furthermore, factor VIIIa is a substrate for proteolytic inactivation by several enzymes, including factor IXa, the enzyme for which it serves as a cofactor. Although interest in the structure, function, and metabolism of factor VIII is commensurate with its biochemical and clinical importance, the molecular basis for its role in coagulation and the regulation of function through complex intramolecular and intermolecular interactions remain poorly understood.
Pathology and etiology of chronic rejection of the heart. (1994)

As there are other lesions in the cardiac allografts of long-term survivors, it is best to refer to the vascular lesion as "graft vascular disease". Graft vascular disease may be evident as early as 3 months after cardiac transplantation and may cause death in the recipient as late as 22 years post-transplant. The disease affects infants, children, and adults as well as the recipients of combined heart-lung transplants. It is one of the most discouraging aspects of long-term survival in combined heart-lung and heart transplantation, accounting for 18% of the deaths among the 201 cardiac transplants performed at Stanford during the cyclosporine era. The pathology of graft vascular disease is that of a concentric intimal proliferation with minimal damage to the elastic lamina and minimal or no change in the media of the coronary vessel wall. The lesion may affect the entire length of the vessel wall as well as the branches and small branches that penetrate into the myocardium of the coronary system. These changes differ from that of naturally occurring atherosclerosis in that, instead of focal lesions developing, the whole length of the vessel is affected, including the small branches. This precludes optimal treatment with angioplasty and other therapies. Because small vessels are involved, the resulting myocardial infarcts may be patchy and small. Presently, no strong correlation has been made with usual risk factors or transplantation for end-stage coronary atherosclerosis, cardiomyopathy or congenital heart disease. The etiology of graft coronary disease remains unclear. Studies have suggested vascular cell activation of various kinds, including cytokines.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
Fluorescence lifetime sensor of copper ions in water (1996)

We demonstrate an optical method for the selective detection of Cu(II) ions in water using time-resolved fluorescence resonance energy transfer from the dye rhodamine 800 encapsulated in a sensor. In comparison to copper, quenching by other metal ions such as cobalt, nickel, and chromium is shown to be negligible. The experimental arrangement incorporates picosecond diode laser excitation and time-correlated single-photon counting for detection. Down to 5 mM of copper deposited on the sensor can be measured and a linear response is obtained up to at least 50 mM. A lower limit of detection for the sensor in the region of 10 ppb is shown to be readily achievable with good resolution.
Information extraction for Thai documents (2000)

An increasing amount of electronically available information is stored in Asian language documents, which makes Information Retrieval (IR) and Information Extraction (IE) for these languages important for a large number of users. Analysis and extraction of information in these languages presents several interesting problems not seen in Western European languages; these are interesting in their own right and for the insights they can give into more general IR and IE techniques. We describe these problems and our system for Thai language IE One of the main concerns when working with Thai natural language is that the structure of the language itself is highly ambiguous. The analyser therefore requires more sophisticated techniques and large amounts of domain knowledge to cope with these ambiguities. We describe our approach to a natural language analysis system that performs preprocessing for the Thai language and the extraction module to retrieve specific information according to the predefined concept definitions.

<title>Read-Write-Erasable Thin Film Optical Recording Medium</title> (1980)

The optical recording characteristics of a silver halide thin film structure were investigated with respect to its possible use as a read-write-erasable medium. Tracks of ~1μm spots were recorded using a polarized He-Ne as the writing source. The recorded tracks were viewed with a GaAs laser between crossed polarizers; the writing energy density was determined to be ~0.2 joules/cm2 in the transmission mode. Erasure was also demonstrated by re-exposing a portion of the recorded tracks with the defocused write laser with its polarization rotates by 45° from the original write polarization direction.
