Tetranectin, a plasminogen kringle 4-binding protein. Cloning and gene expression pattern in human colon cancer. (1992)

Human tetranectin cDNA comprises 874 base pairs including a 606-base pair open reading frame encoding 202 amino acids including a classical signal peptide. This protein is produced locally by cells of the stromal compartment of tumors and is deposited into the extracellular matrix. Since tetranectin binds to plasminogen we hypothesize that it could function as an anchor and/or reservoir for plasminogen and similar substances that regulate tumor invasion and metastasis as well as tumor angiogenesis.
Automated incident detection algorithms (2001)

The high cost of congestion caused by incidents such as accidents, disabled vehicles, construction work and other events that result in a capacity reduction of roads has prompted a growing worldwide interest in developing efficient and effective incident management programs. The success of incident management programs will depend to a large extent on the development of reliable and efficient automated incident detection (AID) algorithms. These software programs analyse data collected from traffic detection devices to determine whether an incident has occurred and alert operators in the traffic control centre to abnormal traffic conditions. This paper provides a background to automated incident detection algorithms and describes some of the most widely used freeway AID models. Common measures of performance and criteria used to evaluate the efficiency and effectiveness of these algorithms are then presented. The traffic detection, software and hardware requirements needed for the development and implementation of these models are also described. A comparative evaluation between a number of AID algorithms is then presented. The paper concludes by highlighting current state-of-the-art techniques in the development of AID algorithms on both freeway and arterial roads and the benefits to be gained from the implementation of quick and reliable incident detection systems.

Lesional psoriatic T cells contain the capacity to induce a T cell activation molecule CDw60 on normal keratinocytes. (1997)

In this report we demonstrate, that in psoriatic skin, basal and suprabasal keratinocytes express CDw60. The CDw60-specific monoclonal antibody, UM4D4, has recently been shown to recognize the 9-O-acetylated disialosyl group on ganglioside GD3. The CDw60 antigen on cultured keratinocytes also seems to be identical with the 9-O-acetylated disialosyl group, because the anti-UM4D4 binding was markedly reduced after neuraminidase treatment of keratinocytes. To examine whether factors from T cells in psoriatic lesions are responsible for the overexpression of CDw60 on keratinocytes, T cell lines obtained from lesional skin were initiated and cloned by limiting dilution. Factors released from 19 of 19 activated T cell clones up-regulated CDw60 expression on cultured normal keratinocytes. T-cell-secreted cytokines, including interleukin (IL)-2, IL-3, IL-4, IL-6, IL-13, transforming growth factor-beta, granulocyte/macrophage colony-stimulating factor, and interferon-gamma were tested for their capacity to modulate keratinocyte CDw60 expression. IL-4 and IL-13 strongly up-regulated the expression of CDw60; by contrast, interferon-gamma down-regulated keratinocyte CDw60 expression. Interestingly, IL-13 may in part be responsible for the T-cell-induced up-regulation of CDw60, because anti-IL-13 partly neutralized this effect of the T cell supernatant. In conclusion, CDw60 expression on psoriatic epidermal keratinocytes is likely induced by intralesionally activated T cells and may in part be due to IL-13. These findings would represent a novel mechanism by which T cells participate in the pathogenesis of psoriasis.
Use of lignin-degrading fungi in the disposal of pentachlorophenol-treated wood (1992)

The lignin-degrading fungi Phaneroehaete chrysosporium, P. sordida, Trametes hirsuta, and Ceriporiopsis subvermispora were evaluated for their ability to decrease the concentration of pentachlorophenol (PCP) and to cause dry weight loss in PCP-treated wood. Hardwood and softwood materials from PCP-treated ammunition boxes that were chipped to pass a 3.8-cm screen were used. All four fungi caused significant weight losses and decreases in the PCP concentration. The largest PCP decrease (84% in 4 weeks) was caused by T. hirsuta, and the smallest decrease was caused by C. subvermispora (37% in 4 weeks). After 4 weeks, the fate of spiked 14C[PCP] in softwood chips inoculated with T. hirsuta was as follows: 27G was mineralized, 42.5~o was non-extractable and bound to the chips, 23.5 ~ was associated with fungal hyphae, and 6 ~o was organic-extractable. Decreases of PCP by P. chrysosporium and P. sordida averaged 59 % and 57 ~, respectively. PCP decreases caused by Phanerochaete spp. were not significantly affected by wood type or sterilization and were primarily due to methylation of PCP that resulted in accumulation of pentachloroanisole. Softwood weight losses caused by T. hirsuta, P. ch~ysosporium and C. subvermispora were respectively, 24, 6.5, and 17%, after 4 weeks. These weight losses are comparable to reported weight losses by these organisms in non-treated softwood. Nutrient supplementation significantly increased weight loss but not percentage decrease of PCP. The results of this research demonstrate the potential for using lignin-degrading fungi to destroy PCP-treated wood.
PREOPERATIVE INTRAMUSCULAR PROGESTOGEN IN THE TREATMENT OF ENDOMETRIAL CARCINOMA (1973)

Summary When an injection of intramuscular 17a‐hydroxy‐progesterone caproate (Primolut Depot) was given before each radium insertion and before hysterectomy in 38 patients with endometrial carcinoma, there was a recurrence rate of 10–5 per cent as against 20 · 5 per cent in 44 controls.
Performance evaluation of IEEE 802.11p MAC protocol in VANETs safety applications (2013)

VANETs are becoming more and more popular as a way to increase the traffic safety and comfort. The IEEE 802.11p standard, especially the 802.11p MAC protocol, has attracted much attention as part of the WAVE protocol in VANETs. Safety applications, as one of the main categories of applications in VANETs, is very challenging for the design of a MAC protocol due to their low latency and high reliability requirements. The CCH interval is also a key parameter for the 802.11p MAC protocol since it can affect the performance of safety message delivery significantly. In this paper, a simulation based evaluation is proposed to evaluate the performance of the 802.11p MAC protocol with various vehicle densities and CCH interval settings. The evaluation results indicate that the 802.11p MAC protocol can be improved via extending the CCH interval. However, the reliability is still very challenging due to high collision rates.
Manufacture of silicon tetrachloride from rice hulls (1973)

Abstract Raw rice hulls contain about 20% silica in very finely dispersed form. Pyrolyzed hulls can be chlorinated at 1000°C to give a nearly quantitative yield of silicon tetrachloride free of most other inorganic chlorides. Solid, organic, chlorine‐containing species have been found to be reaction intermediates. Commercial application appears economically attractive.
Enhancement of Glutathione and γ-Glutamylcysteine Synthetase, the Rate Limiting Enzyme of Glutathione Synthesis, by Chemoprotective Plant-Derived Food and Beverage Components in the Human Hepatoma Cell Line HepG2 (2003)

Glutathione (GSH) is an important antioxidant and cofactor of detoxifying metabolism. Therefore, elevation of GSH as achieved by inducing g-glutamylcysteine synthetase (GCS), the limiting enzyme of GSH synthesis, may contribute to chemoprevention against cancer. In previous animal studies, increases in GCS were mainly found in liver and other organs that are not easily accessible in humans. Thus, employment and evaluation of alternative systems such as human-derived cell lines are encouraged. In the present experiment, we used the hepatoma cell line HepG2 to investigate the response of GCS and GSH to five plant-derived chemoprotectants contained in regularly consumed foodstuffs and beverages (kahweol/cafestol [K/C] [15.5-62.0 mM], a-angelicalactone [100-400 mM], benzyl isothiocyanate [1.7-5.0 mM], diallyl sulfide [175-700 mM], and quercetin [10-50 mM]). All treatments led to dose-dependent increases in both GCS activity and GSH concentration. Time course studies with K/C indicated that the enhancement of GCS preceded that of GSH, suggesting a causal relationship. K/C did not enhance g-glutamyl transpeptidase, a further enzyme that assists GSH-related chemoprotection. Although GCS induction has been suggested to require an initial short-lived GSH depletion, we did not find any decrease in GSH after 3 h of incubation with K/C. In summary, HepG2 cells were shown to be a useful model to investigate the capacity of potential chemoprotectants to enhance GCS and GSH. To our knowledge, the present study is also the first to show increases in GCS by K/C and a-angelicalactone in vitro and by diallyl sulfide and quercetin in any system.

PHYSICAL SERVER AND VIRTUAL SERVER: THE PERFORMANCE TRADE-OFFS (2013)

﻿﻿Virtualization and virtual computing was one of the core interests of the researchers and the professionals in terms of exploration and deployment of the virtualization technology in IT and computing infrastructure. It was an established fact by then that the blessings of the concept were in the minimization of the tangible infrastructural requirement if virtualization were deployed. But it was always a point of interest and argument whether the performance of the virtual servers would place the virtual computing as a competent substitute compared to its physical server counterpart. Thus the performance tradeoffs between the virtual servers and the physical servers were an issue worth investigating. This paper focuses on this issue where the presentation has addressed on a number of experiments with physical server and virtual server to explore the performance efficiency between them in a comparative way.
Fusion and Propagation in Graphical Belief Models (1988)

Graphical models give a clear and concise way of describing dependencies among many variables. Only relationships among variables which all share a common hyperedge must be modeled, considerably simplifying both the modeling and the computational task. Graphical models have been studied by Pearl [1986a,1986b], Moussouris[1974], and Lauritzen and Spiegelhalter[1988] in the Bayesian case, and Kong[1986a], Shafer, Shenoy, and Mellouli [1986] and Shenoy and Shafer[1986] in the Belief Function case. Belief functions are a generalization of probability that allow ways to express total ignorance, Bayesian prior probability distributions, conditional probability distributions (likelihoods), logical relationships (production rules) and observations. All these diverse types of knowledge can be combined with a uniform fusion rule, the direct sum operator. Belief functions can be simply restricted to a smaller frame and easily extended to a larger frame without adding additional information. The theory of belief functions is developed in Shafer[1976,1982] and Kong[1986a]. By a simple procedure given here and in Kong[1986b],we can transform the model hypergraph into a tree of closures. This is a tree of “chunks ” of the original problem, each “chunk ” can be computed independently of all other chunks except its neighbors. Each node in the tree of closures passes messages (expressed as belief functions) to its neighbors consisting of the local information fused with all the information that has propagated through the other branches of the tree. Using this propagation algorithm along with the fusion algorithm given by the direct sum operator, we can easily compute marginal beliefs, and can save considerable computational cost over the brute force approach.
Synthesis of <sup>14</sup>C‐ and <sup>35</sup>S‐labelled 2‐mercaptobenzimidazoles (1988)

Abstract 14 C‐ and 35 S‐labelled 2‐mercaptobenzimidazole and 1‐methyl‐2‐mercaptobenzimidazole were synthesized from 14 C‐carbon disulfide, 35 S‐thiourea, 14 C‐methyl iodide and 35 S‐thiourea, respectively, for use in studies on the mechanism of action of antithyroid drugs. The products were purified by chromatography on silica and isolated with radiochemical purities of greater than 98%, yields of 45‐77% and specific activities of 2.1‐5.3 mCi/mmole.
Liraglutide for weight management: a critical review of the evidence (2016)

Liraglutide helps to induce and sustain weight loss in patients with obesity. Its efficacy is comparable to other available agents but it offers the unique benefit of improved glycemic control. Additional studies are needed to determine its long term efficacy and safety profile.
A floating-gate technology for digital CMOS processes (2003)

We discuss the possibility of developing high-quality floating-gate memories and circuits in digital CMOS technologies that have only one layer of polysilicon. Here, the primary concern is whether or not we can get adequate control-gate linearity from MOS capacitors. We employ two experimental procedures to address this issue and find acceptable floating-gate circuit behaviour with MOS capacitors. First, we simultaneously characterize an MOS capacitor and a linear capacitor; the experimental data show that MOS capacitors behave similarly to linear capacitors over a finite, but usable range. Second, we characterize two typical floating-gate MOS circuit primitives, a floating-gate amplifier and a multiple-input translinear element, two basic circuits that rely heavily on the linearity of the capacitors that couple into the floating gates. Our measurements show that floating-gate circuits with MOS-capacitor control gates behave like their counterparts built with linear capacitors over specific regions of operation.
The capacity of the white Gaussian multiple access channel with feedback (1984)

Since the appearance of [10] by Gaarder and Wolf, it has been well known that feedback can enlarge the capacity region of the multiple access channel. In this paper a deterministic feedback code is presented for the two-user Gaussian multiple access channel, which is shown to allow reliable communication at all points inside a region larger than any previously obtained. An outer bound is given which is shown to coincide with the achievable region, thus yielding the capacity region of this channel exactly.
Characterization of the Spinach Leaf Phosphorylases (1980)

The chloroplastic and the cytoplasmic phosphorylases were purified and their kinetic properties characterized. The cytoplasmic enzyme was purified to homogeneity via affinity chromatography on a glycogen-Sepharose column. Subunit molecular weight studies indicated a value of 92,000, whereas a native molecular weight value of 194,000 was obtained by sucrose density gradient centrifugation. The chloroplast enzyme's native molecular weight was determined to be 203,800. The cytoplasmic enzyme shows the same V(max) for maltopentaose, glycogen, amylopectin, amylose, and debranched amylopectin but is only slightly active toward maltotetraose. The K(m) for phosphate at pH 7.0 is 0.9 millimolar and for glucose-1-phosphate, 0.64 millimolar. The K(m) values for phosphorolysis of amylopectin, amylose, glycogen, and debranched amylopectin are 26, 165, 64, and 98 micrograms per milliliter, respectively. In contrast, the relative V(max) values for the chloroplast enzyme at pH 7.0 are debranched amylopectin, 100, amylopectin, 63.7, amylose, 53, glycogen, 42, and maltopentaose, 41. K(m) values for the above high molecular weight polymers are, respectively, 82, 168, 122 micrograms per milliliter, and 1.2 milligrams per milliliter. The K(m) value for inorganic phosphate is 1.2 millimolar. The chloroplastic phosphorylase appears to have a lower apparent affinity for glycogen than the cytoplasmic enzyme. The results are discussed with respect to previous findings of multiple phosphorylase forms found in plant tissues and to possible regulatory mechanisms for controlling phosphorylase activity.
Nanowires - Implementations and Applications (2011)

This potentially unique work offers various approaches on the implementation of nanowires. As it is widely known, nanotechnology presents the control of matter at the nanoscale and nanodimensions within few nanometers, whereas this exclusive phenomenon enables us to determine novel applications. This book presents an overview of recent and current nanowire application and implementation research worldwide. We examine methods of nanowire synthesis, types of materials used, and applications associated with nanowire research. Wide surveys of global activities in nanowire research are presented, as well.
Masking the Energy Behavior of DES Encryption (2003)

Smart cards are vulnerable to both invasive and non-invasive attacks. Specifically, non-invasive attacks using power and timing measurements to extract the cryptographic key has drawn a lot of negative publicity for smart card usage. The power measurement techniques rely on the data-dependent energy behavior of the underlying system. Further, power analysis can be used to identify the specific portions of the program being executed to induce timing glitches that may in turn help to bypass key checking. Thus, it is important to mask the energy consumption when executing the encryption algorithms. In this work, we augment the instruction set architecture of a simple five-stage pipelined smart card processor with secure instructions to mask the energy differences due to key-related data-dependent computations in DES encryption. The secure versions operate on the normal and complementary versions of the operands simultaneously to mask the energy variations due to value dependent operations. However, this incurs the penalty of increased overall energy consumption in the data-path components. Consequently, we employ secure versions of instructions only for critical operations; that is we use secure instructions selectively, as directed by an optimizing compiler. Using a cycle-accurate energy simulator, we demonstrate the effectiveness of this enhancement. Our approach achieves the energy masking of critical operations consuming 83% less energy as compared to existing approaches employing dual rail circuits.
Necessary Existence (1972)

In 1948 J. N. Findlay advanced an a priori argument for atheism, the skeleton of which is this: (1) A thing is a God if and only if it is an adequate object of religious attitudes. (2) If a thing is an adequate object of religious attitudes then it necessarily exists. (3) It is not possible that anything necessarily exists. Therefore: (4) It is not possible that anything is a God.
A methodology for evaluating algorithms for table understanding in PDF documents (2012)

This paper presents a methodology for the evaluation of table understanding algorithms for PDF documents. The evaluation takes into account three major tasks: table detection, table structure recognition and functional analysis. We provide a general and flexible output model for each task along with corresponding evaluation metrics and methods. We also present a methodology for collecting and ground-truthing PDF documents based on consensus-reaching principles and provide a publicly available ground-truthed dataset.
The libraries that made SUCEST (2001)

A large-scale sequencing of sugarcane expressed sequence tags (ESTs) was carried out as a first step in depicting the genome of this important tropical crop. Twenty-six unidirectional cDNA libraries were constructed from a variety of tissues sampled from thirteen different sugarcane cultivars. A total of 291,689 cDNA clones were sequenced in their 5’ and 3’end regions. After trimming low-quality sequences and removing vector and ribosomal RNA sequences, 237,954 ESTs potentially derived from protein-encoding messenger RNA (mRNA) remained. The average insert size in all libraries was estimated to be 1,250bp with the insert length varying from 500 to 5,000 bp. Clustering the 237,954 sugarcane ESTs resulted in 43,141clusters, from which 38% had no matches with existing sequences in the public databases. Around 53% of the clusters were formed by ESTs expressed in at least two libraries while 47% of the clusters are formed by ESTs expressed in only one library. A global analysis of the ESTs indicated that around 33% contain cDNA clones with full-length insert.
INTRODUCTION (2005)

Hillyard argues that Irving Goffman’s mixing of detailed study, an evocative writing style and interjection as social commentator can legitimately be defined as social science research because it highlights inequalities. His approach is seen not as a systematic model but as a appreciation of the rhetorical nature of ethnographic writing and argument, whilst maintaining a critical theoretical agenda. Debates over the legitimacy of partisan research and in particular critical ethnography are a feature of the last decade in education (Hammersley, 1992) and Irving Goffman, in particular, is held in high esteem for his work on inequalities which is why the debate at the Oxford 2002 conference was so pertinent.
Synthesis of a Deoxyribonucleic Acid Sequence Complementary to Ovalbumin Messenger Ribonucleic Acid and Quantification of Ovalbumin Genes (1973)

Abstract DNA was synthesized in vitro from a template of purified ovalbumin messenger RNA. The DNA product is complementary to a homogeneous sequence specific for ovalbumin. The amount of ovalbumin sequence in hen oviduct and hen liver DNA was measured by hybridization experiments and found to be 2 copies per diploid genome in both tissues, indicating that there is no selective amplification of ovalbumin genes in the tissue specialized for obalbumin synthesis.
