Performance Management for Large Scale Service Delivery Platforms (2009)

Managing performance of modern Service Delivery Platforms (SDPs) is a challenging task due to scale, dynamicity and heterogeneity of these systems. With the presence of a plethora of widely divergent applications, it becomes almost impossible to model these SDPs accurately enough for basic management tasks. The dynamicity of these platforms adds another dimension of complexity. Precisely due to these reasons, traditional learning based approaches are not adequate since these approaches are inherently very slow. In this paper, we present a novel technique for performance management in SDP environment to overcome these challenges. In our approach, we construct a multi-dimensional performance model grid called datagrid. Datagrid presents a unified management approach for various system management tasks such as provisioning, fault management and SLA management. According to our understanding, ours is a first system to have a unified approach for large scale SDP environments for multiple management tasks. We have implemented our technique in real distributed system and it shows promising results.
A Study to Assess Effectiveness of Plan Teaching Programme on Knowledge Regarding Triage System of Patient in Emergency Department among Nursing Personnel in Selected Hospital at Mehsana City (2019)

The hospital emergency department (ED) is one of the most important components of the healthcare delivery system. EDs worldwide are reportedly serving increasing numbers of patients who have a range of problems of variable urgency, from life-threatening to mild. All patients arriving for emergency care need to be assessed and classified to prioritize those who have the most urgent medical problems and are in need of immediate care. This classification process is termed triage and it is usually performed by an ED nurse. Triage is usually performed in the ED by nursing staff who allocate a triage designation and initiate emergency care before the patient is examined by a doctor. Triage nurses usually have advanced training in decision-making. They have been shown to have the necessary skills to make appropriate triage decisions and provide a highly effective service to ED patients in healthcare settings. The mean posttest knowledge score (20.52) was higher than mean pretest knowledge score (10.42) with the mean difference (10) were statistically tested using paired ‘t’ test and it was found significant. Hence it was proved that the planned teaching programme was effective in increasing knowledge on Triage system of patient in ED among nursing personnel of selected hospital of Mehsana, Gujarat, India.

What do we mean when we refer to<i>Bacteroidetes</i>âpopulations in the human gastrointestinal microbiota? (2009)

Recent large-scale cloning studies have shown that the ratio of Bacteroidetes to Firmicutes may be important in the obesity-associated gut microbiota, but the species these phyla represent in this ecosystem has not been examined. The Bacteroidetes data from the recent Turnbaugh study were examined to determine those members of the phylum detected in human faecal samples. In addition, FISH analysis was performed on faecal samples from 17 healthy, nonobese donors using probe Bac303, routinely used by gut microbiologists to enumerate Bacteroides-Prevotella populations in faecal samples, and another probe (CFB286) whose target range has some overlap with that of Bac303. Sequence analysis of the Turnbaugh data showed that 23/519 clones were chimeras or erroneous sequences; all good sequences were related to species of the order Bacteroidales, but no one species was present in all donors. FISH analysis demonstrated that approximately one-quarter of the healthy, nonobese donors harboured high numbers of Bacteroidales not detected by probe Bac303. It is clear that Bacteroidales populations in human faecal samples have been underestimated in FISH-based studies. New probes and complementary primer sets should be designed to examine numerical and compositional changes in the Bacteroidales during dietary interventions and in studies of the obesity-associated microbiota in humans and animal model systems.

3D Bi‐chiral Photonic Crystals: Three‐Dimensional Bi‐Chiral Photonic Crystals (Adv. Mater. 46/2009) (2009)

Bi-chiral photonic crystals are tailored man-made solids inspired by blue-phase cholesteric liquid crystals. They possess two types of chirality, leading to four different types of bi-chiral structures. In naturally occurring blue-phase liquid crystals, only two of these are thermodynamically stable. On p. 4680, Michael Thiel and co-workers fabricate all four via direct laser writing.
4-Arylazo-3,5-diamino-1<i>H</i>-pyrazole CDK Inhibitors:  SAR Study, Crystal Structure in Complex with CDK2, Selectivity, and Cellular Effects (2006)

In a routine screening of our small-molecule compound collection we recently identified 4-arylazo-3,5-diamino-1H-pyrazoles as a novel group of ATP antagonists with moderate potency against CDK2-cyclin E. A preliminary SAR study based on 35 analogues suggests ways in which the pharmacophore could be further optimized, for example, via substitutions in the 4-aryl ring. Enzyme kinetics studies with the lead compound and X-ray crystallography of an inhibitor-CDK2 complex demonstrated that its mode of inhibition is competitive. Functional kinase assays confirmed the selectivity toward CDKs, with a preference for CDK9-cyclin T1. The most potent inhibitor, 4-[(3,5-diamino-1H-pyrazol-4-yl)diazenyl]phenol 31b (CAN508), reduced the frequency of S-phase cells of the cancer cell line HT-29 in antiproliferation assays. Further observed cellular effects included decreased phosphorylation of the retinoblastoma protein and the C-terminal domain of RNA polymerase II, inhibition of mRNA synthesis, and induction of the tumor suppressor protein p53, all of which are consistent with inhibition of CDK9.
Nucleation and Growth of Copper on TiN from Pyrophosphate Solution (2001)

In this paper we report on the electrochemical deposition of copper on TiN from pyrophosphate solution. We show that deposition occurs through the instantaneous nucleation of hemispherical clusters followed by diffusion-limited growth over a wide potential range. In this potential regime, the nucleus density increases exponentially with applied potential. The nucleus densities obtained from atomic force microscopy images are in the range of about two orders of magnitude larger than the highest nucleus density observed in fluoroborate solutions. Such high nucleus densities are essential in depositing continuous thin films because coalescence occurs at relatively low coverages. The near-neighbor distances follow Poisson distributions indicating that the nuclei are randomly distributed over the surface. © 2000 The Electrochemical Society. All rights reserved.
Dissociation and metal-binding characteristics of yellow lichen substances suggest a relationship with site preferences of lichens (2008)

Metal complexation by lichen substances could be a prerequisite for lichen substance-mediated control of metal uptake. Assuming such an effect at pH values where the affinity of the metal for the lichen substance is intermediate would explain the strong preference of lichens with usnic or rhizocarpic acids to acidic substrata. Moreover, it would explain the preference of lichens with parietin and some lichens with compounds of the pulvinic acid group either for nutrient-rich substrata at low pH or for calcareous substrata.
Formation Mechanism and Low-Temperature Instability of Exciton Rings (2004)

The macroscopic rings observed in the photoluminescence patterns of excitons in coupled quantum wells are explained by a mechanism of carrier imbalance, transport, and recombination. The rings originate from the spatial separation of p and n carriers, and occur at the interface of the p and n domains, where excitons are generated. We explore the states of excitons in the ring over a range of temperatures down to 380 mK and report a transition of the ring into a periodic array of aggregates, a new low-temperature ordered exciton state.
Lycopene Metabolite, Apo-10′-Lycopenoic Acid, Inhibits Diethylnitrosamine-Initiated, High Fat Diet–Promoted Hepatic Inflammation and Tumorigenesis in Mice (2013)

Obesity is associated with increased risk in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) development and mortality. An important disease control strategy is the prevention of obesity-related hepatic inflammation and tumorigenesis by dietary means. Here, we report that apo-10'-lycopenoic acid (APO10LA), a cleavage metabolite of lycopene at its 9',10'-double bond by carotene-9',10'-oxygenase, functions as an effective chemopreventative agent against hepatic tumorigenesis and inflammation. APO10LA treatment on human liver THLE-2 and HuH7 cells dose dependently inhibited cell growth and upregulated sirtuin 1 (SIRT1), a NAD(+)-dependent protein deacetylase that may suppress hepatic carcinogenesis. This observed SIRT1 induction was associated with decreased cyclin D1 protein, increased cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor p21 protein expression, and induced apoptosis. APO10LA supplementation (10 mg/kg diet) for 24 weeks significantly reduced diethylnitrosamine-initiated, high fat diet (HFD)-promoted hepatic tumorigenesis (50% reduction in tumor multiplicity; 65% in volume) and lung tumor incidence (85% reduction) in C57Bl/6J mice. The chemopreventative effects of APO10LA were associated with increased hepatic SIRT1 protein and deacetylation of SIRT1 targets, as well as with decreased caspase-1 activation and SIRT1 protein cleavage. APO10LA supplementation in diet improved glucose intolerance and reduced hepatic inflammation [decreased inflammatory foci, TNFα, interleukin (IL)-6, NF-κB p65 protein expression, and STAT3 activation] in HFD-fed mice. Furthermore, APO10LA suppressed Akt activation, cyclin D1 gene, and protein expression and promoted PARP protein cleavage in transformed cells within liver tumors. Taken together, these data indicate that APO10LA can effectively inhibit HFD-promoted hepatic tumorigenesis by stimulating SIRT1 signaling while reducing hepatic inflammation.
GENESIS OF QUANTUM ANOMALIES (2004)

Abstract This chapter reviews the history of quantum anomalies. The original indication of the anomaly appeared immediately after the modern formulation of field theory, namely, renormalization theory. However, it was only in 1969 when the true significance of the quantum anomaly was clearly recognized. In the process of formulating the renormalization theory, Feynman introduced the idea of path integrals.
Inheritance of Resistance in Tomato to Race T3 of the Bacterial Spot Pathogen (2001)

Hawaii 7981 tomato ( Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.), resistant to race T3 of the bacterial spot pathogen [ Xanthomonas campestris pv. vesicatoria (Doidge) Dye], was crossed to the susceptible tomato inbred, Fla. 7060, and subsequently F 2 and backcross seed were obtained. These generations were planted in the field, inoculated with the race T3 pathogen and evaluated for disease severity over two summer seasons. Data were tested for goodness-of-fit to a model based on control by the incompletely dominant gene Xv3 that confers hypersensitivity. The F 1 was intermediate in disease severity to the parents for both seasons. When data were combined over both seasons, the backcrosses fit the expected 1:1 ratios although each deviated from the expected ratio in one of the 2 years tested. The F 2 did not fit the expected 1:2:1 ratio in either year or when data from the two years were combined due to a deficiency of resistant plants. Thirty-three F 2 plants representing an array of disease severities and hypersensitivity reactions were selected in the second season and their F 3 progeny were inoculated and evaluated for disease severity. Hawaii 7981 was significantly more resistant than the 12 most resistant F 3 selections even though all expressed hypersensitivity. A hypersensitive F 3 with intermediate field resistance was crossed to Hawaii 7981 and subsequently, F 2 and backcross generations were obtained. These generations were field inoculated with the race T3 pathogen and evaluated for disease severity. Hawaii 7981 was significantly more resistant than the F 3 parent as in the previous year. The data did not fit an additive-dominance model and epistatic interactions were significant. Thus, it appears that field resistance to race T3 of bacterial spot found in Hawaii 7981 is conferred quantitatively by Xv3 and other resistance genes. Breeding implications are discussed.
Interactive 2D 3D image conversion method for mobile devices (2011)

This work proposes an interactive tool for creating stereo image from a mono image. The user interaction is defined as scribbling on the object of interest followed by relative depth assignment to the selected object. Initial step in the algorithm is to create structured image oversegments with intensity homogeneity and geometrical convexity constraint. The final image segmentation is realized by merging the oversegmented regions in a region growing manner. The proposed local neighbourhood similarity based method saves the energy of searching globally optimum cut. Instead of utilizing an iterative method to search for an optimum energy minimization, local neighbourhood based energy calculation enables one step decision. As the proposed method has relatively low complexity, it could efficiently be used in mobile devices with limited computational resources. The assigned relative depths of multiple objects are used to create stereo image pairs using conventional depth image based rendering (DIBR). The tool has been implemented for Nokia N900 Phone and allows creating stereo images with positive and negative disparity.
Overexpression of outer membrane porins in E. coli using pBluescript-derived vectors. (1998)

The genes coding for four major outer membrane porins of Escherichia coli, ompF, ompC, phoE, and lamB, have been cloned into pBluescript-derived vectors and overexpressed to very high level (approximately 80% of the total membrane protein) in widely used host strains lacking one or more porins. For OmpF, OmpC, and PhoE porins it is shown that, contrary to current dogma, the genes can be overexpressed without undue deleterious effects upon cell growth and are stable, even under conditions of continuous expression. In contrast, overexpression of LamB is toxic to cell growth, but can be performed using tightly regulated lac promotor-driven expression. The vectors described allow overexpression, sequencing, and mutagenesis to be performed using a single system, without the necessity of subcloning, thus simplifying genetic manipulation. A particular advantage of these new vectors (with the exception of the vector for LamB) is that they do not require a particular regime for inducing the recombinant protein. To our knowledge, this study is the only comparative study of widely used membrane porin expression systems and the first to show that several porins can be stably expressed individually and maintained on high copy number vectors.
Strain sensitivity in film and cermet resistors: measured and physical quantities (1979)

The strain coefficient of resistivity of resistors deposited on a substrate is analysed, and an expression for its correlation to the measurable longitudinal and transverse gauge factors is given for isotropic (metal, amorphous semiconductor and cermet) resistors. The use of this expression for the evaluation of other physical quantities is exemplified by the calculation of the temperature coefficients of resistivity for resistors on substrates of different thermal expansivity.
Intraoperative Magnetic Resonance Imaging: Impact on Brain Tumor Surgery (2003)

Refinements in the imaging of intracranial tumors assist neurosurgeons in maximizing resections in a safe manner. Intraoperative magnetic resonance imaging (iMRI) represents a recent addition to their therapeutic armamentaria.The authors reviewed the development of iMRI and describe their experience with iMRI-guided resection of intracranial tumors in 112 patients. The PoleStar N-10 iMRI system was used in this series.Intraoperative imaging resulted in additional tumor removal in 40 (36%) of the patients. In another 35 (31%), imaging confirmed that the goals of surgery had been attained so potentially harmful dissection in and around the brain was avoided. For patients with lesions of the skull base, iMRI was possible in all but 2 patients who had a large body habitus. There was a decrease in length of hospital stay for patients who had surgery with iMRI. Lesion location did not play a role in this change. Brain tumor surgery was affected in 67% of patients. A potential for cost savings with iMRI was demonstrated.Intraoperative imaging with MRI is the latest evolution in the increasing precision of neurosurgery. The advantages of this technology will make it a ubiquitous feature in the neurosurgical operating room.
The effects of UWB interference on GSM systems (2004)

The effects of UWB interference on GSM 900 and GSM 1800 systems are considered for current FCC regulations as well as proposed ETSI emission limits for the criteria of either a 1 dB loss in the SINR or a loss leading to the minimum required SINR at the cell edge. UWB densities are computed for different GSM reuse factors and the results show that no harmful interference is to be expected for GSM 900 systems. In the case of GSM 1800 systems, the proposed ETSI emission limits are found to be offering sufficient protection whereas the current FCC regulations would result in significant interference.
A validated virtual prototyping approach for avoiding wind turbine tonality (2013)

Although aero-acoustic noise is considered as the dominant source of wind turbine noise, mechanical noise, coming from gearbox or generator, could - especially when it contains audible tonal components - results in non-conformity to local noise regulations. This becomes more stringent when wind turbines are installed closer to urbanised areas. An international consortium of German and Belgian partners active in wind turbine development – consisting of wind turbine OEM, component manufacturers and research institutions - has set up the European Eureka research project ALARM. Within this 3 years project that started in 2012 the different partners with each their area of expertise are joining forces to advance the state-of-the-art in the field of wind turbine vibro-acoustic assessment. This project covers all aspects of mechanical wind turbine noise from gear excitation, mechanical transfer paths, vibration insulation up to acoustic radiation and transmission. All those different aspects are analysed both from simulation side as well as from measurement side both on component level (gears, gearbox, bushings) and on wind turbine level. This paper gives a high level overview of the entire ALARM project, and focuses on a specific work package: simulation of the gearbox structural transfer path. Insight is given on the modelling approach and the extensive validation campaign (both on component and on assembly level) of this flexible multi-body model. The paper presents a method to interpret and evaluate the results of the structural model in a clear and structured way such that design optimisation becomes feasible. Simulation and validation results are discussed and results of investigations to lower noise and vibration values are presented.
Structural Properties and Phase Transition of Exfoliated-Restacked Molybdenum Disulfide (2013)

The product of exfoliation and restacking of MoS2 in acidic conditions is studied in detail using X-ray powder diffraction, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The temperature dependence of powder patterns reveals that the heating of exfoliated-restacked MoS2 is a way to a new nanostructured MoS2-based layered material that remains nanosized even upon heating to 850 °C. Previously this material has been described as 2H-MoS2, but according to the X-ray diffraction (XRD) data, its structure cannot be correctly described by any of the “usual” MoS2 polytypes. A model of the structure of the material describing its XRD patterns and thermal behavior is discussed in detail.
Immunomodulatory drugs in myelodysplastic syndromes (2006)

This review summarises the mechanism of action of immunomodulatory analogues of thalidomide and their use in myelodysplastic syndromes. Thalidomide was found to have a response rate of approximately 20% in these patients. Lenalidomide--which is more potent and less toxic than thalidomide--has been used in three clinical trials and produced the best responses (60 - > 90%) in low- and intermediate-1-risk transfusion-dependent patients with del(5q). The responses are purely erythroid in nature, and are associated with major cytogenetic responses in > 50% of the del(5q) patients. Non-del(5q) low- and intermediate-1-risk transfusion-dependent patients also had a approximately 25% incidence of transfusion independence following therapy with lenalidomide. Median time to response is approximately 4 weeks and 90% of patients respond within 12 weeks. The precise mechanism of action remains unknown but anticytokine, antiangiogenic and immunomodulatory properties are thought to play a role.
