Effect of Clamping and Damping on Piezoelectric Bender Elements (1970)

Piezoelectric benders are commonly utilized for transducing elements in phonograph cartridges or reciprocally as emf-force devices. Their behavior in these applications has been well delineated in the literature. When the bender, used as a memory-storage element, is clamped and damped by an encapsulant, it exhibits anomalous behavior, which is not clearly (if at all) described in the literature. The construction, application, and performance of benders encapsulated and used for this application are described. The results of chemical shrinkage, thermal coefficient of expansion (TCE), and dynamic properties of the encapsulant on the piezoelectric-bender performance are delineated.
Improved self-assembled thiol stationary phases in microfluidic gas separation columns (2015)

Semipacked columns (SPCs) with integrated micropillars have been characterized for high chromatographic efficiencies and fast separations. In this article, high-yield and stable alkane thiol based stationary phase coating methods are presented for SPCs. Briefly, a new three step (anisotropic, O2 plasma, and isotropic) etching method is first developed in order to improve metal lift-off by producing a 3-dimensional undercutting profile inside deep etched SPCs. This innovative fabrication scheme is used for 1 m-long, 220 μm-deep, 190 μm-wide SPCs with circular micropillars of 20 μm-diameters and 42 μm-post spacing. Two different thin gold film deposition techniques are utilized for microcolumns (1) a wafer-level physical vapor deposition, and (2) a device level layer-by-layer (LbL) self-assembly of gold nanoparticles (3.2 nm diameter). After gold film deposition and metal lift-off, the surface of the patterned gold layer is functionalized with a 2 mM octadecanethiol (C18H37SH) solution for chromatographic separations. Both kinetic (Golay plots) and thermodynamic (Van’t Hoff plot) properties of thiol-functionalized gold phases are studied. The significance of SPCs, for faster analysis, is also validated by achieving baseline separation of a straight chain alkane mixture, containing high boilers (174 °C to 287 °C), within 45 s.

Opioid Antagonist Adjuncts to Epidural Morphine for Postcesarean Analgesia (1993)

This prospective, randomized, controlled investigation compared the effects of three prophylactic mu-opioid antagonists, epidural butorphanol (BU) 3 mg, epidural nalbuphine (NB) 10 mg, and oral naltrexone (NX) 6 mg, on postcesarean epidural morphine analgesia. After randomization, 102 term parturients underwent cesarean delivery with epidural anesthesia, 2% lidocaine and epinephrine 1:200,000. When the umbilical cord was clamped, each patient received one epidural solution (containing morphine 4 mg plus either saline or treatment drug), and one oral capsule (containing either placebo or treatment drug) in a double-blind manner. Maternal outcomes included pain and satisfaction [assessed with 100-mm visual analog scales (VAS)], and the incidence and severity of respiratory depression, somnolence, pruritus, nausea, and emesis. Through the first 12 h postpartum, the BU group achieved significantly greater analgesia than the morphine sulfate (control) (MS), NB, and NX groups, a significantly lower incidence of severe pruritus than the MS group, and significantly greater satisfaction than MS and NX groups. Epidural morphine and BU promoted better analgesia and satisfaction than any previously documented postcesarean regimen.

that which is expressed on p. 102 -a "recent creation . . .with built-in internal complexity."Their discussion of radiometric dating does not give appropriate recognition of the integrity or the scientific carefulness that characterizes the great majority of the individuals who develop radiometric data.It gives a grossly inadequate and confusing presentation of the natural processes by which radiometric "clocks" may be "reset."Table IV-4 would require extensive and major revision to portray accurately the radiometric age data on the moon material.The suggestion that C-14 dating "will probably be credited with million -and billionyear ages" (p.103) is implausible in view of the consideration that a mass of solid pure C-14 greater than the presently-known size of the entire universe would be required to extend the range of C-14 dating (of that mass) beyond two million years.In preparing this review my intention is for it to serve as an aid to assist readers in obtaining the greatest benefit from The Moon, rather than as a faulting of the book.
Conformational change of the triple‐helical structure. I. Synthesis of model peptides of collagen by the solid‐phase method (1974)

Abstract As model peptides of collagen, (Pro‐Pro‐Gly) n ( n = 10, 12, 14, and 15) and (Pro‐Pro‐Gly) n (Ala‐Pro‐Gly) m (Pro‐Pro‐Gly) n (2 n + m = 15; m = 1, 3, and 5) were synthesized by the solid‐phase method. The final products were pure when checked by high‐voltage paper electrophoresis and by amino acid analysis. Elemental composition was also examined.
Radical Copolymerization of <i>α</i>‐Trifluoromethylacrylic Acid with Vinylidene Fluoride and Vinylidene Fluoride/Hexafluoropropene (2004)

Abstract Summary: The radical copolymerization of α ‐trifluoromethylacrylic acid (TFMAA) with vinylidene fluoride (VDF), initiated by tert ‐butyl 2,2‐dimethyl peroxypropanoate (or tert ‐butyl peroxypivalate) is presented. The kinetics of copolymerization were investigated from a series of eight reactions for which the initial [VDF] 0 /[TFMAA] 0 molar ratios ranged between 15.0/85.0 and 89.4/10.6. The compositions of the copolymers, i.e. the molar ratios of VDF and TFMAA monomeric units, were determined mainly by 19 F and 1 H NMR spectroscopy. According to the Tidwell and Mortimer method, the reactivity ratios, r i , were assessed to be: r VDF = 0.33 ± 0.09 and r TFMAA = 0 at 55 °C, leading to copolymers of mainly alternating structure. Then, the radical terpolymerization of TFMAA with VDF and hexafluoropropene (HFP), initiated by 2,5‐bis( tert ‐butylperoxy)‐2,5‐dimethylhexane is described and the thermal properties of the materials produced are discussed. magnified image
Viral vector-mediated downregulation of RhoA increases survival and axonal regeneration of retinal ganglion cells (2014)

The Rho/ROCK pathway is a promising therapeutic target in neurodegenerative and neurotraumatic diseases. Pharmacological inhibition of various pathway members has been shown to promote neuronal regeneration and survival. However, because pharmacological inhibitors are inherently limited in their specificity, shRNA-mediated approaches can add more information on the function of each single kinase involved. Thus, we generated adeno-associated viral vectors (AAV) to specifically downregulate Ras homologous member A (RhoA) via shRNA. We found that specific knockdown of RhoA promoted neurite outgrowth of retinal ganglion cells (RGC) grown on the inhibitory substrate chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan (CSPG) as well as neurite regeneration of primary midbrain neurons (PMN) after scratch lesion. In the rat optic nerve crush (ONC) model in vivo, downregulation of RhoA significantly enhanced axonal regeneration compared to control. Moreover, survival of RGC transduced with AAV expressing RhoA-shRNA was substantially increased at 2 weeks after optic nerve axotomy. Compared to previous data using pharmacological inhibitors to target RhoA, its upstream regulator Nogo or its main downstream target ROCK, the specific effects of RhoA downregulation shown here were most pronounced in regard to promoting RGC survival but neurite outgrowth and axonal regeneration were also increased significantly. Taken together, we show here that specific knockdown of RhoA substantially increases neuronal survival after optic nerve axotomy and modestly increases neurite outgrowth in vitro and axonal regeneration after optic nerve crush.

A design is proposed for optimal binary systematic linear UEP codes. Broad classes of iterative and concatenated UEP codes are constructed. Majority decoding algorithms for linear iterative UEP codes are described.
Protocol for Asynchronous, Reliable, Secure and Efficient Consensus (PARSEC) Version 2.0 (2019)

In this paper we present an open source, fully asynchronous, leaderless algorithm for reaching consensus in the presence of Byzantine faults in an asynchronous network. We prove the algorithm's correctness provided that less than a third of participating nodes are faulty. We also present a way of applying the algorithm to a network with dynamic membership, i.e. a network in which nodes can join and leave at will. The core contribution of this paper is an optimal model in the definition of an asynchronous BFT protocol, and which is resilient to 1/3 byzantine nodes. This model matches an agreement with probability one (unlike some probabilistic methods), and where a common coin is used as a source of randomization so that it respects the FLP impossibility result.

Mechanism of Suppression of Cytochrome P-450 1A1 Expression by Tumor Necrosis Factor-α and Lipopolysaccharide (2001)

Proinflammatory cytokines, such as tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha, interleukin-1beta, and lipopolysaccharides (LPS), suppress the gene expression of cytochrome P-450 1A1 (cyp1a1). The mechanism of the suppression is not well understood. In present study, we show that activation of nuclear factor-kappaB (NF-kappaB) is a critical event leading to the suppression of cyp1a1 gene expression, thus providing an underlying mechanism for the TNF-alpha- and LPS-induced cyp1a1 suppression. We demonstrated that: (i) inducible RelA expression down-regulated aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) activated reporter gene; (ii) the suppressive effects of LPS and TNF-alpha on the AhR-activated reporter gene could be blocked by pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate, which is known to inhibit NF-kappaB action; and (iii) TNF-alpha and LPS-imposed repression could be reversed by the NF-kappaB super repressor (SRIkappaBalpha), thus demonstrating the specific involvement of NF-kappaB. Furthermore, nuclear receptor coactivators p300/CBP and steroid receptor coactivator-1 act individually as well as cooperatively to reverse the suppressive effects by NF-kappaB on the AhR-activated reporter gene, suggesting that these transcriptional coactivators serve as the common integrators for the two pathways, thereby mediating the cross-interactions between AhR and NF-kappaB. Finally, using the chromatin immunoprecipitation assay, we demonstrated that AhR ligand induces histone H4 acetylation at the cyp1a1 promoter region containing the TATA box, whereas TNF-alpha inhibits this acetylation, suggesting that AhR/NF-kappaB interaction converges at level of transcription involving chromatin remodeling.
Functionalization of micromodels with kaolinite for investigation of low salinity oil-recovery processes (2015)

Sandstone formations are ubiquitous in both aquifers and petroleum reservoirs, of which clay is a major constituent. The release of clay particles from pore surfaces as a result of reduced injection fluid salinity can greatly modify the recovery of hydrocarbons from subsurface formations by shifting the wettability properties of the rock. In this paper we demonstrate a microfluidic approach whereby kaolinite is deposited into a two-dimensional microfluidic network (micromodel) to enable direct pore-scale, real-time visualization of fluid-solid interactions with representative pore-geometry and realistic surface interactions between the reservoir fluids and the formation rock. Structural characterization of deposited kaolinite particles agrees well with natural modes of occurrence in Berea sandstones; hence, the clay deposition method developed in this work is validated. Specifically, more than 90% of the deposited clay particles formed pore-lining structures and the remainder formed pore bridging structures. Further, regions of highly concentrated clay deposition likely leading to so-called Dalmatian wetting properties were found throughout the micromodel. Two post-deposition treatments are described whereby clay is adhered to the silicon surface reversibly and irreversibly resulting in microfluidic systems that are amenable to studies on (i) the fundamental mechanisms governing the increased oil recovery during low salinity waterfloods and (ii) the effect of a mixed-wet surface on oil recovery, respectively. The reversibly functionalized platform is used to determine the conditions at which stably adhered clay particles detach. Specifically, injection brine salinity below 6000 ppm of NaCl induced kaolinite particle release from the silicon surface. Furthermore, when applied to an aged system with crude oil, the low salinity waterflood recovered an additional 14% of the original oil in place compared to waterflooding with the formation brine.
2B4 (CD244), NTB-A and CRACC (CS1) stimulate cytotoxicity but no proliferation in human NK cells (2006)

The recently described family of SLAM-related receptors plays an important role in the modulation of lymphocyte activity. The members of this family expressed on human NK cells are 2B4 (CD244), NTB-A and CRACC (CS1). The ligands of these surface receptors are also present on all human NK cells, suggesting that 2B4, NTB-A and CRACC are engaged during the contact of neighboring NK cells. Here we investigate the functional consequence of this interaction. We show that blocking the engagement of 2B4, NTB-A and CRACC has no effect on the proliferation or the development of the cytotoxic potential of human NK cells. However, triggering of 2B4, NTB-A or CRACC by their physiological ligands on MHC class I-negative target cells induces potent NK cell cytotoxicity. This suggests that the engagement of inhibitory receptors by MHC class I on neighboring NK cells blocks 2B4-, NTB-A- and CRACC-induced NK cell cytotoxicity, thereby ensuring that NK cells do not kill each other. In support of this, limiting inhibitory receptor engagement by antibodies leads to the autologous killing of NK cells in a 2B4-, NTB-A- and CRACC-dependent manner.
Time‐Resolved Tracking of a Minimum Gene Expression System Reconstituted in Giant Liposomes (2009)

Individual expression: We describe a method that allows the observation of real-time gene expression in a large number of individual giant liposomes encapsulating identical genetic material. We followed the gene expression profiles from DNA and mRNA templates coding for different proteins. Although the average profiles of individual liposomes were similar to those measured in bulk solution, strong variability between individual liposomes was observed at both transcription and translation.

M Types of Group A Streptococcal Isolates Submitted to the National Centre for Streptococcus (Canada) from 1993 to 1999 (2002)

The National Centre for Streptococcus (NCS) (Canada) determined the group A streptococcal (GAS) M types of 4,760 Canadian isolates submitted between 1993 and 1999 by classic serotyping. The 10 most frequently identified M types were M1 (26.4%), M12 (9.8%), M28 (8.9%), M3 (6.8%), M4 (6.2%), M11 (4.8%), M89 (3.1%), M6 (3.0%), M2 (2.6%), and M77 (1.9%). Nontypeable isolates accounted for 15.4% of the collection. The province of Ontario submitted 51.1% of the isolates, followed by Quebec (21.2%) and Alberta (13.9%). Together, these three provinces constituted 71.3% of the Canadian population in 1996. The numbers of M types M1, M12, M28, and M3 occurred most frequently in subjects whose ages were <1 to 15 years and 25 to 45 years, as well as in the elderly (60 to 90 years). Further analysis found that the four most frequently identified M types from blood, brain, and cerebrospinal fluid were M1 (28.2%), M28 (9.2%), M12 (9.1%), and M3 (8.2%), with 13.4% of isolates being nontypeable. The four isolates from throats most frequently identified were M1 (19.5%), M12 (15.3%), M3 (8.6%), and M28 (5%) with 19.4% of isolates being nontypeable. The sic gene of a subset of M1 strains (9.5% of the M1 collection) was sequenced. Of 36 sic types identified, the four most common were sic1.01 (22.8%), sic1.02 (14.9%), sic1.135 (10.5%), and sic1.178 (9.6%). Together these four sic types further characterized nearly 60% of the M1 strains sequenced. In summary, from the years 1993 to 1999, the NCS detected 54 M types, of which 10 different M types constituted 73.5% of the collection. M1 was the most common GAS M type circulating in the Canadian population, responsible for more than a quarter of the isolates typed. The most common throat isolates differed in M-type and proportion from those of invasive isolates. Sequencing the sic gene further characterized the most common M-type serotype 1 in a fashion that may be useful for epidemiologic investigations.
