Phase Transformation and Thermal Conductivity of Hot‐Pressed Silicon Carbide Containing Alumina and Carbon (1988)

Phase transformation and thermal conductivity of hot‐pressed β‐SiC with Al 2 O 3 and carbon additions were studied. Densification rate was a complex function of both Al 2 O 3 and carbon. Simultaneous additions of Al 2 O 3 and carbon accelerated the 3C → 4H phase transformation. Carbon additions lowered the thermal conductivity of the compact as did the high‐temperature hot‐pressing. The 3C → 4H transformation and the thermal conductivity were deduced to be related to each other.
Comparative characterization of rat deoxyribonuclease 1 (Dnase1) and murine deoxyribonuclease 1-like 3 (Dnase1l3) (2005)

Deoxyribonuclease 1 (DNASE1, DNase I) and deoxyribonuclease 1-like 3 (DNASE1L3, DNase gamma, DNase Y, LS-DNase) are members of a DNASE1 protein family that is defined by similar biochemical properties such as Ca2+/Mg2+-dependency and an optimal pH of about 7.0 as well as by a high similarity in their nucleic acid and amino acid sequences. In the present study we describe the recombinant expression of rat Dnase1 and murine Dnase1l3 as fusion proteins tagged by their C-terminus to green fluorescent protein in NIH-3T3 fibroblasts and bovine lens epithelial cells. Both enzymes were translocated into the rough endoplasmic reticulum, transported along the entire secretory pathway and finally secreted into the cell culture medium. No nuclear occurrence of the nucleases was detectable. However, deletion of the N-terminal signal peptide of both nucleases resulted in a cytoplasmic and nuclear distribution of both fusion proteins. Dnase1 preferentially hydrolysed 'naked' plasmid DNA, whereas Dnase1l3 cleaved nuclear DNA with high activity. Dnase1l3 was able to cleave chromatin in an internucleosomal manner without proteolytic help. By contrast, Dnase1 was only able to achieve this cleavage pattern in the presence of proteases that hydrolysed chromatin-bound proteins. Detailed analysis of murine sera derived from Dnase1 knockout mice revealed that serum contains, besides the major serum nuclease Dnase1, an additional Dnase1l3-like nucleolytic activity, which, in co-operation with Dnase1, might help to suppress anti-DNA autoimmunity by degrading nuclear chromatin released from dying cells.

Calcineurin Activity In Children With Renal Transplants Receiving Cyclosporine (1997)

We conclude that inhibition of calcineurin activity by CsA in pediatric renal transplant recipients correlates with CsA blood concentrations.
Hybrid Approach for Efficient Quantization of Weights in Convolutional Neural Networks (2018)

Convolutional neural networks(CNN) have achieved outstanding results in the fields of image recognition which classifies objects in the input images. In the deep neural networks such as CNN, the number of layers and the number of neurons in each layer are large. In other words, the deep neural networks requires relatively large storage space and calculation process. However, in embedded devices for object recognition in autonomous vehicles, large storage space and high computational complexity are constraints. For this reasons, various methodologies have been proposed to apply CNN to small embedded hardware such as mobile devices, FPGA and ASIC efficiently. In this paper, we quantize the weights of AlexNet without a large drop in accuracy by using a hybrid quantizer using uniform quantizer and k-means clustering.
Antiangiogenic agents (AAs) in metastatic oesophago-gastric cancer (mOGC): A systematic review and meta-analysis. (2015)

e15111 Background: Studies of AAs, combined with chemotherapy (chemo) or as monotherapy in mOGC, have reported mixed outcomes. We undertook a systematic review and meta-analysis to determine their overall benefits and harms. Methods: Randomized controlled trials in mOGC were sought investigating the addition of AA (monoclonal antibodies and tyrosine kinase inhibitors) to standard therapy (best supportive care or chemo). The primary endpoint was overall survival (OS) with secondary endpoints progression-free survival (PFS), overall response rate (ORR) and toxicity. Meta-analysis was performed according to CONSORT guidelines and standard methods with hazard ratios (HR) and odds ratios (OR). Subgroup analyses were performed by region, age, performance status, histological type and number of metastatic sites. Results: 13 trials evaluating 3229 patients were included in the efficacy analysis. The addition of AAs was associated with improved OS: HR 0.80 (95% CI 0.74-0.87, p < 0.00001) and improved PFS: HR 0.67 (95% CI 0.62-0.72, p < 0.00001). OS was not improved in the 1st-line setting: HR 0.91 (95% CI 0.80-1.05) but was improved in 2nd/3rd line settings: HR 0.74 (95% CI 0.66-0.82). OS benefit was observed in all regions – Europe (HR 0.80, 95% CI 0.69-0.93), Asia (HR 0.82, 95% CI 0.73-0.93) and Pan-America (HR 0.60, 95% CI 0.45-0.81) without significant subgroup interaction. 7 trials evaluating 2512 patients were pooled for any toxicity > = Grade 3. Pooled toxicity OR was 1.40 (95% CI 1.17-1.66). Conclusions: The addition of AAs to standard therapy in mOGC improves OS in 2nd/3rd line settings but not in the 1st-line setting. OS benefit was observed in each of the 3 major geographical regions. This benefit is at the expense of increased overall toxicity.
Stereoselective Preparation of (<i>Z</i>)-2-(Trialkylsilyloxy)-2-alkenals by Retrocycloaddition Reactions of 4<i>H</i>-4-Alkyl-5-(trialkylsilyloxy)-1,3-dioxins. Useful Reactants for Lewis Acid Catalyzed [4 + 3] Cyclizations (2001)

[reaction: see text]. Retrocycloadditions of 4H-4-alkyl-5-(trialkylsilyloxy)-1,3-dioxins proceed smoothly in refluxing toluene to afford (Z)-2-(trialkylsilyloxy)-2-alkenals with complete stereoselectivity. These enals undergo Sasaki-type [4 + 3] cyclizations with dienes in the presence of Lewis acids, in many instances with excellent regio- and/or stereoselectivity.

KNOWLEDGE, ATTITUDES AND PRACTICE OF LABORATORY TECHNICIANS REGARDING UNIVERSAL WORK PRECAUTION (2012)

Objective: Objective of the present study is to determine the knowledge, attitude, and practice of universal work precautions amongst medical laboratory technicians in private hospitals. Methodology: Cross-sectional study of health care workers was conducted using a pretested self-administered questionnaire, which enquired about knowledge, attitude and practices of universal work precautions. The hepatitis B vaccination statuses were also asked. Results: 200 questionnaires were administered to laboratory technicians and 154 of them were returned giving a response rate of 77%. All the participants wear gloves during laboratory work but 81.2% wear a single pair. 17.5 % of the participants claimed to know what to do if exposed to infection. 45.6% of the participants eat in the laboratory, 47.0% of them store foods and water in the refrigerators, 31.5% of them put on cosmetics in the laboratory, 12.6% smoke in the laboratory, 10.0% cut their finger nails with teeth in the laboratory. 91.5% are not immunized against hepatitis B virus (HBV). 99.0% of them do not take shower immediately after laboratory work. 82.0% of the participants do not feel that the use of masks is necessary in laboratory. Conclusion: It is concluded that the knowledge, attitude, perception, and compliance with universal work precautions amongst laboratory technicians are poor.

We identify the endogenous endothelial nitric oxide synthase inhibitor ADMA as a biomarker and mechanistic bridge between renal cyclooxygenase-2 inhibition and systemic vascular dysfunction.
Mapping of CSF transport using high spatiotemporal resolution dynamic contrast‐enhanced MRI in mice: Effect of anesthesia (2021)

The improved spatial and temporal sampling rates afforded by 3D-FISP shed new light on the pharmacological modulation of CSF efflux paths. The present observations may have the potential to set a new standard for future experimental DCE-MRI studies of the glymphatic system.
Comparison of the Protective Efficacy of Bacille Calmette-Guérin Vaccination against Aerosol Challenge with Mycobacterium tuberculosis and Mycobacterium bovis (2000)

The aim of this study was to compare protection by bacille Calmette-Guérin (BCG) vaccination against aerosol challenge with either Mycobacterium bovis or Mycobacterium tuberculosis in guinea pigs. Animals were challenged 5 weeks after vaccination with 10 or 100 lung lesion-forming units (lfu) of M. bovis or M. tuberculosis. Four weeks after challenge, numbers of lung lesions and counts of viable mycobacteria in spleens were high in saline-immunized animals. In contrast, BCG vaccination resulted in fewer lung lesions; after challenge with 10 and 100 lfu, the reduction was greater in animals infected with M. bovis (mean number of lesions, 1.17 and 31.2, respectively; P<.02) than in those infected with M. tuberculosis (mean number of lesions, 16.2 and 75.8, respectively). No mycobacteria were recovered from spleens of BCG-vaccinated animals after challenge with 10 lfu of M. bovis, whereas 4 of 6 animals had detectable spleen mycobacterial counts after challenge with M. tuberculosis. Collectively, the results suggest that BCG vaccination may confer greater protection against challenge with M. bovis than challenge with M. tuberculosis.
Widespread Inhibition of Posttranscriptional Splicing Shapes the Cellular Transcriptome following Heat Shock (2014)

During heat shock and other proteotoxic stresses, cells regulate multiple steps in gene expression in order to globally repress protein synthesis and selectively upregulate stress response proteins. Splicing of several mRNAs is known to be inhibited during heat stress, often meditated by SRp38, but the extent and specificity of this effect have remained unclear. Here, we examined splicing regulation genome-wide during heat shock in mouse fibroblasts. We observed widespread retention of introns in transcripts from ∼1,700 genes, which were enriched for tRNA synthetase, nuclear pore, and spliceosome functions. Transcripts with retained introns were largely nuclear and untranslated. However, a group of 580+ genes biased for oxidation reduction and protein folding functions continued to be efficiently spliced. Interestingly, these unaffected transcripts are mostly cotranscriptionally spliced under both normal and stress conditions, whereas splicing-inhibited transcripts are mostly spliced posttranscriptionally. Altogether, our data demonstrate widespread repression of splicing in the mammalian heat stress response, disproportionately affecting posttranscriptionally spliced genes.
A Karatsuba-Based Algorithm for Polynomial Multiplication in Chebyshev Form (2010)

In this paper, we present a new method for multiplying polynomials in Chebyshev form. Our approach has two steps. First, the well-known Karatsuba's algorithm is applied to polynomials constructed by using Chebyshev coefficients. Then, from the obtained result, extra arithmetic operations are used to write the final result in Chebyshev form. The proposed algorithm has a quadratic computational complexity. We also compare our method to other approaches.

Family behavior of the optical transition energies in single-wall carbon nanotubes of smaller diameters (2004)

Using the extended tight-binding model that allows bond lengths and angles to vary, the optical transition energies Eii in single-wall carbon nanotubes are calculated as a function of inverse tube diameter. After geometrical structure optimization, the 2n+m=constant family behavior observed in photoluminescence (PL) experiments is obtained, and detailed agreement between the calculations and PL experiments is achieved after including many-body corrections.
A Two Stream Siamese Convolutional Neural Network for Person Re-identification (2017)

Person re-identification is an important task in video surveillance systems. It can be formally defined as establishing the correspondence between images of a person taken from different cameras at different times. In this paper, we present a two stream convolutional neural network where each stream is a Siamese network. This architecture can learn spatial and temporal information separately. We also propose a weighted two stream training objective function which combines the Siamese cost of the spatial and temporal streams with the objective of predicting a person's identity. We evaluate our proposed method on the publicly available PRID2011 and iLIDS-VID datasets and demonstrate the efficacy of our proposed method. On average, the top rank matching accuracy is 4% higher than the accuracy achieved by the cross-view quadratic discriminant analysis used in combination with the hierarchical Gaussian descriptor (GOG+XQDA), and 5% higher than the recurrent neural network method.
Perfusion Heterogeneity in Breast Tumors for Assessment of Angiogenesis (2013)

Perfusion heterogeneity was closely associated with the tumor microvascular architecture and molecular expression. Perfusion features, especially regional morphologic and hemodynamic features, can provide valuable information for differentiating malignant from benign breast tumors.
1,4-Dinitroimidazole and Derivatives. Structure and Thermal Rearrangement (1989)

Nitration of 4-nitroimidazole in acetic anhydride/glacial acetic acid gives 1,4-dinitroimidazole. The crystal and molecular structure of this compound have been determined by direct methods. Crystals are orthorhombic; P212121, a 5.853(3), b 9.591(8), c 10.392(5) Å , V 583.4(7) Å 3 , Dm 1 .76 g cm-1, Dc, 1 .80 g cm-1 (Z = 4); ? 0.71069 Å ; T 173 K. The structure was refined to R = 0.048 for 926 reflections [I &gt; 2 s(1)]. Both 2-methyl-4-nitro- and 5-methyl-4-nitro-imidazoles N-nitrate under the same conditions. When heated in solution at 100-140ºC 1,4-dinitro- and 2-methyl-1,4-dinitro-imidazoles rearrange to give C-nitro isomers and some denitration products, but 5(4)-methyl-1,4(5)-dinitroimidazole failed to give identifiable products.

<title>Motion compensation algorithm for arbitrary translation of CT objects</title> (1994)

This paper presents a compensation technique for mitigating the blurring and streak artifacts in CT images caused by object translation. In order to detect and quantify the errors caused by motions, we first establish a nonsensor-based means to measure the incompleteness of a projection data set. Furthermore, with in-plane ray cancellation scheme, we show that it is possible to locate the regional motions. We then derive an isotropic reference, called centroid, to align parallel projections. The same concept is applied to fan beam projections except that here we use two sets of fan beam centroid to guide the projection alignment: one obtained from the original projection data set and the other from a pilot projection set. The latter is the reprojection of an iteratively improved image reconstructed from the updated projections. The convergence rate of this algorithm is demonstrated through simulations with projections based on mathematical phantom and human subject.
The current density distribution of resistive disk surface electrodes (1988)

The current-density distribution of resistive disk surface electrodes is analyzed using a model in which the body is locally represented by a planar two-layer resistive medium and the electrode by a resistive disk with a concentric perfectly conducting feed contact. The exact current-density distribution on and in the electrode is obtained by solving a three-dimensional Laplace's equation numerically by means of the moment method. The following physical factors that affect the current-density distribution are analyzed: electrode size, feed region size, electrode thickness, electrode resistivity, skin conductivity, and skin thickness. The results demonstrate both an edge peak, which occurs with a highly conducting electrode on a uniform medium, and a peak in the current density near the feed region, which occurs if the electrode properties are not well matched to the properties of the tissues.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>
Die Liquiditätsanalyse (1997)

Während Dickertmann1, an dessen liquiditätstheoretischer Untersuchung sich diese Arbeit anlehnt, seine Analyse auf die Verhältnisse in Deutschland beschränkte und deshalb jede Position der Gewinn- und Verlustrechnung der Bundesbank hinsichtlich ihrer monetären Bedeutung beurteilen und in der Liquiditätsanalyse erfassen konnte, ist es im Rahmen eines internationalen Vergleichs sinnvoll, die Vielzahl der Positionen, die oft den gleichen Sachverhalt ausdrücken, jedoch mit unterschiedlichen Bezeichnungen in die Gewinn- und Verlustrechnung der Zentralbanken eingehen, in einem ersten Schritt in wenigen Größen zusammenzufassen. Deshalb soll sich die liquiditätstheoretische Untersuchung in Abschnitt 3.2. nur auf diese Aggregatgrößen beschränken. Erst innerhalb der Analyse der einzelnen Länder werden die Positionen der jeweiligen Erfolgsrechnungen diesen Aggregaten zugeordnet. Diese Vorgehensweise erhöht die Übersichtlichkeit und die internationale Vergleichbarkeit für die acht Zentralbanken.
Optical coherence tomography and indocyanine green angiography findings in acute syphilitic posterior placoid choroidopathy: case report (2009)

The optical coherence tomography (OCT) and indocyanine green angiography (ICGA) findings of a 58-year-old male with acute syphilitic posterior placoid chorioretinitis are reported herein. Best-corrected visual acuity was 20/150 in the right eye (OD) and 20/30 in the left eye (OS) at presentation. On funduscopy, there was a central subretinal placoid yellowish lesion in OD. VDRL and serum FTA-ABS were positive. OCT showed increased reflectance and thickening of the subfoveal RPE-choriocapillaris complex corresponding to the lesion in OD. ICGA revealed a hypofluorescent spot corresponding to the lesion in OD and confluent small dots extending to periphery, without any correspondence in fundus examination. The same dots were also seen in OS, even though no lesions could be observed clinically. Intravenous ceftriaxone 2 g daily was given for 10 days. One month after the first visit, visual acuity improved to 20/30 and marked improvement of the lesion was seen. OCT was normal in both eyes at the final visit.
Development of Diesel Exhaust Catalytic Converter Mufflers (1992)

<div class="htmlview paragraph">An approach has been developed for the design and optimization of combined catalytic converter - mufflers for low emission diesel engines. The development of this optimizing process considered the effects of the substrate and it's properties, the flow distribution through the substrate, the total system backpressure, and it's acoustical behavior. The actual catalyst formulation is not considered in this optimization process, as this development approach focuses on other converter muffler performance issues. For a given engine and vehicle combination this design approach has fostered the determination of the appropriate substrate size, the correct level of flow uniformity, and sufficient exhaust noise attenuation, all within the appropriate back pressure limit. The resulting optimization process has proved to be a valuable tool in the development of converter mufflers for diesel applications.</div>
A Hybrid Coordination Function Scheme for WLANs (2010)

In this work, we propose a hybrid medium access scheme that can provide a virtually collision-free environment for an infrastructure high-speed WLAN. The proposed hybrid scheme may be viewed as the merger of the standard PCF and DCF schemes. It can efficiently provide the quality-of-service support like the PCF scheme, while utilizing the flexible on-demand CSMA mechanism similar to the DCF scheme. In the proposed scheme, every station employs the standard CSMA mechanism and the master station schedules backoff timers for every client station. The master station sends the backoff timer information together with the data or control frames destined to each given client station. A piggybacking frame exchange mechanism is provided to enhance throughput of the proposed system and a prioritized backoff-timer scheduling scheme is given to provide QoS support. Numerical results show that the proposed scheme outperforms the standard IEEE 802.11 DCF and PCF schemes, and can effectively support prioritized traffic services. 1.
Clinical Outcomes of Endoscopic Submucosal Dissection for Early Gastric Cancer in Different Indications (2022)

Gastric cancer still threatens the health of people, which is the fifth most common cancer and the fourth leading cancer-related death worldwide. The stage of the disease is critical for the 5-year survival of gastric cancer; the 5-year survival rates could reach 90% for gastric cancer detected at early stages. At present, endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) is the main treatment for early gastric cancer. Referring to the treatment guideline of the Japan Gastric Cancer Association, the indications for ESD mainly include absolute indications, expanded indications, and relative indications. Many studies have reported favourable long-term outcomes after undergoing ESD, and compared with surgery, ESD preserves the entire stomach and improves the quality of life of patients. However, it has also been reported that the recurrence rate of gastric cancer after ESD is high, so regular follow-up and careful examination are needed, even for patients with early gastric cancer who met absolute indications.
Timing ECO Optimization Via Bézier Curve Smoothing and Fixability Identification (2012)

Due to the rapidly increasing design complexity in modern integrated circuit design, more and more timing failures are detected at late stages. Without deferring time-to-market, metal-only engineering change order (ECO) is an economical technique to correct these late-found failures. Typically, a design might need to undergo many ECO runs in design houses; consequently, the usage of spare cells for ECO is of significant importance. In this paper, we aim at timing ECO by using as few spare cells as possible. We observe that a path with good timing is desired to be geometrically smooth. Unlike negative slack and gate delay used in most prior work, we propose a new metric of timing criticality, fixability, by considering the smoothness of timing violating paths. To measure the smoothness of a path, we use the Bézier curve as the golden path. Furthermore, in order to concurrently fix timing violations, we derive a propagation property to divide violating paths into independent segments. Based on Bézier curve smoothing, fixability identification, and the propagation property, we develop an efficient algorithm to fix timing violations. Experimental results show that we can effectively resolve all timing violations with significant speedups over the state-of-the-art works.
