Humoral Abnormalities in X-Linked Hypophosphatemic Mice (1989)

The question is whether this is the sole cause of the clinical severity of the resulting bone disease or whether other abnormalities are present which exacerbate the bone disease. We have evidence that in the Hyp mice there are two such exacerbating factors, one is 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D and the other is parathyroid hormone. In addition, we have data that another humoral factor, besides parathyroid hormone, may be responsible for the low renal tubular reabsorption of phosphate
Synthesis of aromatic dicarboxyl‐terminated poly(methyl methacrylate) macromonomers (1989)

Abstract Hydroxyl‐ or amino‐terminated prepolymers were prepared by radical polymerization of methyl methacrylate in the presence of 2‐mercaptoethanol or 2‐aminoethanethiol hydrochloride, respectively, as a chain transfer agent. The resulting prepolymers were subjected to react with trimellitic anhydride to form aromatic dicarboxyl‐terminated poly(methyl methacrylate)s. These condensation‐type macromonomers and terephthalic acid were condensed with bisphenol‐A to produce polyester–poly(methyl methacrylate) graft copolymers.

<i>Candida krusei</i>produces ethanol without production of succinic acid; a potential advantage for ethanol recovery by pervaporation membrane separation (2008)

The development of fermentative yeasts secreting no organic acids is highly desirable for ethanol production coupled with membrane separation processes, because the acidic byproduct, succinic acid, significantly inhibits the membrane permeation of ethanol. Of the Pichia and Candida yeasts tested, Candida krusei IA-1 showed the highest ethanol productivity [55 g L(-1) day(-1) from 150 g L(-1) (w/v) of glucose], comparable to the strains of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, and produced much less of the acid (0.6 g L(-1) day(-1)) than the Saccharomyces strains (1.5-1.8 g L(-1) day(-1)) under semi-aerobic conditions. Interestingly, under aerobic conditions, strain IA-1 showed no production of the acid. Stain IA-1 exhibited a good assimilation of the acid, while S. cerevisiae NBRC 0216 showed no assimilation. The activity of succinate dehydrogenase (SDH) in strain IA-1 was 37.5 mU mg(-1), and 7.8-fold higher than that in S. cerevisiae strain NBRC 0216. More significantly, SDH1 was abundantly transcribed in strain IA-1, different from that in strain NBRC 0216, regardless of the culture conditions. From these results, C. krusei IA-1 efficiently takes up succinic acid and metabolizes it in the Krebs cycle, producing an extremely low level of byproducts in the culture medium. Therefore, C. krusei is not only a promising alternative to S. cerevisiae but also a suitable model for metabolic engineering of S. cerevisiae.
Preparation of gold tailings-incorporated composite cementitious Materials and the mechanism of chlorine solidification (2019)

Corrosion of steel bars is a main cause for the durability damage of reinforced concrete structures. Many studies have shown that in the case of concrete being alkaline, the steel bars won't corrode due to the existence of oxidation protective films [1-3]; but if the content of free chloride ions in the concrete is relatively high, the chloride ions would strongly promote the corrosion reaction, damage the protective films, and accelerate the corrosion of the steel bars, therefore, the solidification of chloride ions is particularly important for concrete. For this reason, domestic and foreign scholars have studied the process of chloride ions invading concrete [4], the mineral compositions of the admixtures and the cementitious materials In terms of the types of mineral admixtures, solid wastes such as fly ash, slag, coal gangue and steel slag have been studied more, and the research shows that the adding such materials into the concrete can improve its internal structure and performance, and enhance the later stage strength, durability and impermeability of the concrete The above research generally believes that the with the improvement of the mechanical properties of the cementitious material, its durability would be better, however, this inference is not scientific; moreover, there's a lack in the re-
Excitation of a single molecule on the surface of a spherical microcavity (1997)

We use the optical resonance of a spherical microcavity (quality factor ∼106) to excite a single molecule. By attaching a p-terphenyl crystal doped with pentacene and terrylene molecules to a dielectric sphere, we detect individual molecules excited by the near field of the cavity. A low-temperature optical microscope is utilized to image the emission from the single molecule, determine its position on the sphere surface, and measure its absorption linewidth. These results demonstrate the feasibility of single-molecule cavity quantum electrodynamics.
Loss of the Sarcoglycan Complex and Sarcospan Leads to Muscular Dystrophy in  -Sarcoglycan-Deficient Mice (1999)

beta-Sarcoglycan, one of the subunits of the sarcoglycan complex, is a transmembranous glycoprotein which associates with dystrophin and is the molecule responsible for beta-sarcoglycanopathy, a Duchenne-like autosomal recessive muscular dystrophy. To develop an animal model of beta-sarcoglycanopathy and to clarify the role of beta-sarcoglycan in the pathogenesis of the muscle degeneration in vivo, we developed beta-sarcoglycan-deficient mice using a gene targeting technique. beta-Sarcoglycan-deficient mice (BSG(-)(/-)mice) exhibited progressive muscular dystrophy with extensive degeneration and regeneration. The BSG(-)(/-)mice also exhibited muscular hypertrophy characteristic of beta-sarcoglycanopathy. Immunohistochemical and immunoblot analyses of BSG(-)(/-)mice demonstrated that deficiency of beta-sarcoglycan also caused loss of all of the other sarcoglycans as well as of sarcospan in the sarcolemma. On the other hand, laminin-alpha2, alpha- and beta-dystroglycan and dystrophin were still present in the sarcolemma. However, the dystrophin-dystroglycan complex in BSG(-)(/-)mice was unstable compared with that in the wild-type mice. Our data suggest that loss of the sarcoglycan complex and sarcospan alone is sufficient to cause muscular dystrophy, that beta-sarcoglycan is an important protein for formation of the sarcoglycan complex associated with sarcospan and that the role of the sarcoglycan complex and sarcospan may be to strengthen the dystrophin axis connecting the basement membrane with the cytoskeleton.
Enhanced bioadsorption characteristics of a uniquely nanostructured thin film (1996)

At the two previous AVS symposia we reported on both the growth mechanism and the structural characteristics of a uniquely nanostructured organic thin film consisting of an extremely dense (∼50/μm2), random array of crystalline whiskers (∼50 nm×2 μm), uniformly oriented with their long axes normal to the substrate. We have found that by simply metal coating the whiskers, the unique physical morphology of the surface provides significantly enhanced protein adsorption characteristics. Using radio-labeling techniques, the adsorption kinetics of Protein A, human IgG and BSA were measured for two buffer solutions and four types of meal whisker coatings. The best metal coating, Pt, adsorbs up to 70 times as much protein as the control substrates. The absolute protein binding levels are ∼10 μg/cm2, with 85%–95% being tightly bound and viable. The speed of binding is also very rapid, reaching ∼50% coverage in 15 min and full coverage in 2 h, without vortexing. The nanostructured films are easily produced in large area formats and the exposed whisker surfaces can be readily functionalized.
The Visible Human Project. (1991)

The Visible Human Project data sets are designed to serve as a common reference point for the study of human anatomy, as a set of common public-domain data for testing medical imaging algorithms, and as a testbed and model for the construction of image libraries that can be accessed through networks. The data sets are being applied to a wide range of educational, diagnostic, treatment planning, virtual reality, artistic, mathematical, and industrial uses by more than 800 licensees in 27 countries. But key issues remain in the development of methods to link such image data to text-based data. Standards do not currently exist for such linkages. Basic research is needed in the description and representation of image-based structures and in the connection of image-based structural-anatomical data to text-based functional-physiological data. This is the larger, long-term goal of the Visible Human Project: to link the print library of functional-physiological knowledge with the image library of structural-anatomical knowledge transparently into one unified resource of health information.
A One-Step Method for Blind Identification of MIMO Signal (2008)

We proposed a one-step method for blind identification of MIMO signal in noncooperation communication, when assuming that the unknown source was one of the four typical types of signal in wireless communication, i.e. MIMO signal, single user single antenna signal, virtual MIMO signal and multibeam smart antenna signal. In this method, we need to stack the oversampling signals at each element of the receiver first, and then blindly estimate the DOAs and delays of the stacked signal employing JADE-MUSIC algorithm. Simulation results show the feasibility of this method. The result of this paper has important value in both theory and application.

Major pharmacological effects of 6-methoxytetrahydro-beta-carboline, a drug elevating the tissue 5-hydroxytryptamine level. (1978)

Major pharmacological effects of 6-methoxy-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-beta-carboline (6-methoxytryptoline, 6-MeOTHBC) are described. It seemed to have a weak effect of its own on 5-HT-receptors. It is concluded that most of the effects, like the increase of rectal temperature after peripheral administration and decrease and then increase after intrahypothalamic application as well as the antagonism of the group toxicity of amphetamine without effect on norepinephrine toxicity or barbiturate sleeping time, can result from the increase of tissue 5-HT-concentration and/or inhibition of 5-HT-uptake.

A High-Performance Architecture of an XML Processor for SIP-Based Presence (2009)

With the widespread popularity of XML, many communication and multimedia standards are being developed based completely or partially on XML. The session initiation protocol is a signaling mechanism - frequently used for multimedia applications - that comprises XML-based ldquopresencerdquo information particularly useful in instance messaging.The process of XML parsing and serialization is needed repeatedly during the exchange of presence notification messages in such systems. However, XML processing is known to be time-consuming. In instant messaging systems, especially when mobile users are involved, presence update notification is frequent and has to be fast to save mobility time and battery resources. In this paper, we present a high-performance architecture of an XML processor customized for efficiently processing presence information. Our FPGA implementation results show that at least two bytes of XML data can be parsed on average in each clock cycle, which leads eventually to a high-throughput processor.

Rice yields decline with higher night temperature from global warming (2004)

The impact of projected global warming on crop yields has been evaluated by indirect methods using simulation models. Direct studies on the effects of observed climate change on crop growth and yield could provide more accurate information for assessing the impact of climate change on crop production. We analyzed weather data at the International Rice Research Institute Farm from 1979 to 2003 to examine temperature trends and the relationship between rice yield and temperature by using data from irrigated field experiments conducted at the International Rice Research Institute Farm from 1992 to 2003. Here we report that annual mean maximum and minimum temperatures have increased by 0.35 degrees C and 1.13 degrees C, respectively, for the period 1979-2003 and a close linkage between rice grain yield and mean minimum temperature during the dry cropping season (January to April). Grain yield declined by 10% for each 1 degrees C increase in growing-season minimum temperature in the dry season, whereas the effect of maximum temperature on crop yield was insignificant. This report provides a direct evidence of decreased rice yields from increased nighttime temperature associated with global warming.
Task release control for decision making queues (2011)

We consider the optimal duration allocation in a decision making queue. Decision making tasks arrive at a given rate to a human operator. The correctness of the decision made by the human evolves as a sigmoid function of the duration allocated to the task. Each task in the queue loses its value continuously. We elucidate on this trade-off and determine optimal policies for the human operator. We show the optimal policy requires the human to drop some tasks. We present a receding horizon optimization strategy, and compare it with the greedy policy.
[Schistosomiasis in the region of Ziga (Burkina Faso) before the construction of a dam]. (1999)

The authors report the results of a survey on schistosomiasis in the zone of Ziga (Burkina Faso) where a dam is going to be built. They examined 438 children aged from 7 to 15 years in 5 villages. The appraisal of macroscopic or microscopic hematuria, urine filtration, stool analysis and ultrasonographic examination made possible the assessment of the prevalence and severity of both schistosomiasis. The area was hyperendemic for urinary schistosomiasis. The general prevalence of S. haematobium was higher than 46% and 55% of the children presented at least one lesion of the bladder and 2% of hydronephrosis at ultrasonography. Intestinal schistosomiasis was not observed although few cases have been described in the regional hospital and intermediate host snails have been collected in the area. A surveillance of schistosomiasis, based on school surveys, was strongly recommended in the dam area.
Growth hormone stimulates granulation tissue formation and insulin-like growth factor-I gene expression in wound chambers in the rat (1992)

ABSTRACT It has been reported that GH stimulates fibroblast growth and wound healing. In the present study we measured the effect of locally applied GH on insulin-like growth factor (IGF-I) mRNA concentrations and granulation tissue formation in wound cylinders, implanted s.c. Four stainless-steel wiremesh cylinders were implanted s.c. in the back of male rats (280 g). Each cylinder was then injected every day with either 0·014 or 0·14 U human GH, or vehicle only. Ingrown granulation tissue and wound fluid was obtained on day 17 after implantation. The wet weight of granulation tissue was determined and concentrations of IGF-I mRNA in the tissue were measured by solution hybridization/RNAase protection assay. Similar assays were used to measure the levels of IGF-I receptor mRNA and GH receptor mRNA, while the IGF-I concentration in wound fluid and serum was determined by radioimmunoassay (RIA) after acid–ethanol extraction. The concentrations of IGF-I mRNA in ingrown granulation tissue as well as the wet weight of this tissue were significantly higher in the GH-treated cylinders. There was no significant effect of GH on IGF-I receptor mRNA and GH receptor mRNA levels. Consistent with the results of previous studies, wound fluid IGF-I levels were lower than serum IGF-I levels, but no significant difference was found between the GH-treated cylinders and the control cylinders. The results of the present study show that GH stimulates granulation tissue formation and increases the concentration of IGF-I mRNA in the ingrown granulation tissue.

ADSORPTIVE AND GAS CHROMATOGRAPHIC PROPERTIES OF VARIOUS CATIONIC FORMS OF ZEOLITE X (1964)

Gas chromatographic retention volumes for O 2 , N 2 , CH 4 , C 2 H 6 , C 3 H 8 , C 4 H 10 , C 2 H 4 , and C 3 H 6 have been measured over a range of temperatures between 25 and 400 °C, on columns of the following ion-exchanged forms of zeolite X: Li + , Na + , K + , Mg ++ , Ca ++ , Ba ++ , and Ag + . In addition, for AgX zeolite, full isotherms have been determined for O 2 , N 2 , C 2 H 6 , and C 2 H 4 ; and for NaX zeolite, isotherms for C 2 H 6 and C 2 H 4 . The gas chromatographic retention volumes agree well with the isotherms in the case of NaX but are significantly low for AgX, presumably as the result of at least a portion of the adsorption process being slow. The heats of adsorption on NaX agree well with literature values for O 2 , N 2 , CH 4 , and C 2 H 6 but are low for C 3 H 8 and C 4 H 10 ; further indication of slow processes and hence of a limitation of the g.c. technique. The observations can be correlated qualitatively in terms of the interplay of the following effects: (a) cationic field increases with decreasing ionic radius; (b) shielding of smaller cations is greater—at least in the six-membered oxygen-ring sites; (c) divalent cations, while having greater fields, are only half the number of monovalent cations and tend to be found in less exposed sites; and (d) the polarizing power of silver ion, which also occupies all types of exposed sites, is very strong. The most intense interactions were found with AgX; with ethylene a much stronger complex is formed than has been reported for any other silver compound. The significance of molecular quadrupole interactions on these heteroionic surfaces is shown by the much weaker cationic effects observed with O 2 (which has negligible quadrupole moment) than with nitrogen.

Darstellung und katalytische Eigenschaften von Rhodium(I)‐Komplexsalzen des Typs [Rh(COD)o‐Py(CH<sub>2</sub>)<sub>2</sub>P(Ph)(CH<sub>2</sub>)<sub>3</sub>ZR)]PF<sub>6</sub> (Z = O, NH) (1993)

Abstract In Dichlormethanlösung wurde [Rh(COD)Cl] 2 (COD = cis,cis‐1.5‐Cyclooctadien) mit vier neuen dreizähnigen Liganden vom Typ o‐Py(CH 2 ) 2 P(Ph)(CH 2 ) 3 ZR in Gegenwart des Halogenfängers TIPF 6 bei 0°C zu Komplexsalzen [Rh(COD)(o‐Py(CH 2 ) 2 P(Ph)(CH 2 ) 3 ZR)] PF 6 (ZR = OC 2 H 5 , I ; OPh, II ; NHPh, III ; NHcycloC 6 H 11 , IV ) umgesetzt. Das Rhodium‐Komplexkation in den abgetrennten Verbindungen I − IV koordiniert aufgrund von 1 H−, 31 P‐, 13 C–NMR und IR–Meßergebnissen außer der zweizähnigen COD‐Gruppe die Donoratome Phosphor und Pyridinstickstoff und läßt in der angenommenen quadratisch‐planaren Koordinationsgeometrie ein vorhandenes Z‐Donoratom ungebunden. Die Komplexkatalysatoren I – IV polymerisieren in 1,4‐Dioxanlösung bei 25°C das Substrat Phenylacetylen (PA) zu Polyphenylacetylen (PPA): Werte für TON [h −1 ] von 352( I ) und 876( IV ) und mittlere Molmassen M w (GPC‐Meßresultate) zwischen 238 000( I ) und 199 900( IV ). Diese Werte der Lösungs‐Fällungspolymerisation zeigen eine Abhängigkeit von der unkoordinierten ZR‐Gruppe in Komplexen I – IV . Die Mikrostruktur des isolierten PPA ist cis‐transoidal. Sie entsteht stereospezifisch und ist nach MNDO‐Rechnungen die thermodynamisch begünstigte. Von den zu Vergleichszwecken dargestellten neuen Rhodium(I)‐Komplexen des Typs [Rh(COD)DBN(bzw. DBU)Cl] (DBN = 1,5‐Diazabicyclo[4.3.0]‐non‐5‐en, DBU = 1,8‐Diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec‐7‐en) wird unter analogen Reaktionsbedingungen für PA ein höherer TON‐Wert 1 292 (bzw. 1 327) [h −1 ], aber kleinerer M w ‐Wert von 166 200 (bzw. 131 200) erhalten. Gegenüber bisher bekannten Katalysatorsystemen polymerisieren diese Komplexkatalysatoren einschließlich I – IV PA zu PPA bei milderen Reaktionstemperaturen, verbesserter Selektivität und höheren M w ‐Werten.
The B-Cell-Specific src-Family Kinase Blk Is Dispensable for B-Cell Development and Activation (2000)

The B-cell lymphocyte kinase (Blk) is a src-family protein tyrosine kinase specifically expressed in B-lineage cells of mice. The early onset of Blk expression during B-cell development in the bone marrow and the high expression levels of Blk in mature B cells suggest a possible important role of Blk in B-cell physiology. To study the in vivo function of Blk, mice homozygous for the targeted disruption of the blk gene were generated. In homozygous mutant mice, neither blk mRNA nor Blk protein is expressed. Despite the absence of Blk, the development, in vitro activation, and humoral immune responses of B cells to T-cell-dependent and -independent antigens are unaltered. These data are consistent with functional redundancy of Blk in B-cell development and immune responses.
Comparison of Algorithms for the Closed-Loop Control of Blood Glucose Using the Artificial Beta Cell (1981)

Over the past 15 years, several algorithms have been proposed and used for closed-loop blood glucose regulation. Their intent is to artificially replace the normal responses of the pancreatic beta cell absent in insulin-dependent diabetes. All of these algorithms calculate insulin infusion rates on the basis of minute-by-minute measurements of whole blood glucose concentration and its calculated rate of rise or fall. In addition, various techniques are employed to compensate for measurement delay time and the presence of noise in the measured signals. The goal of these feedback systems is to normalize blood glucose in diabetes mellitus. Interestingly, some recently "optimized" versions provide only a near normalization of glycemia in patients with insulin-dependent diabetes, a degree ofglycemic control which is not significantly different from intensified conventional insulin therapy.
