New Marist wineskins: The evolving role of the Marist Brothers within a broader ecclesial community (2015)

The Marists were one of the ecclesial families to emerge from the extraordinary spiritual and missionary renewal currents flowing through the nineteenth-century French Church, and more specifically its Lyonnais fervour. Their founders imagined a new way of being Church, one that was self-consciously Marian both in its intent and in its character. They saw themselves sharing in the eternal 'work of Mary', as they called it, of mothering Christ-life to birth, of nurturing its growth in themselves and in others, and of standing with the Church as it came to be. Their spirituality emphasised the mercy of God, which they sought to incarnate in affective, relational and immanent ways. They wanted especially to go to people whose circumstances caused them to be furthest from the knowledge of God and the care of the Church and, taking the 'Magnificat' as their charter, they were fired to make real for them the closeness of a loving, faithful and just God. They imagined themselves as a broad movement of people-lay, clergy and religious-structured in a fairly non-hierarchical, complementary and interdependent way. Disappointingly for them, however, the Vatican authorities of the time did not warm to their proposed sense of 'communio'. But now, two centuries later, in a post-Vatican II context, Marists are being afforded the opportunity to be creatively faithful to their founding vision.
Instantaneous Radar Polarimetry with Multiple Dually-polarized Antennas (2006)

Fully polarimetric radar systems are capable of simultaneously transmitting and receiving in two orthogonal polarizations. Instantaneous radar polarimetry exploits both polarization modes of a dually-polarized radar transmitter and receiver on a pulse by pulse basis, and can improve the radar detection performance and suppress range sidelobes . In this paper, we extend the use of instantaneous radar polarimetry for radar systems with multiple dually-polarized transmit and receive antennas. Alamouti signal processing is used to coordinate transmission of Golay pairs of phase codes waveforms across polarizations and multiple antennas. The integration of multi- antenna signal processing with instantaneous radar polarimetry can further improve the detection performance, at a computational cost comparable to single channel matched filtering.
Inhibition of B-16 melanoma growth in vivo by a synthetic analog of prostaglandin E2. (1977)

The effect of systemic administration of 16,16-dimethyl prostaglandin E2-methyl ester (di-M-PGE2) on the growth of B-16 melanoma tumors has been studied in C57BL/6J mice. Daily i.p. injection of 5 mu of di-M-PGE2 commencing on the day of tumor inoculation with 10(5) and 10(6) viable cells delayed appearance of tumors; for the smaller tumor inoculum, it also increased median survival among treated mice from 23 to 33 days. Di-M-PGE2 treatment of mice with established tumors caused significant inhibition of tumor growth, as measured by a number of parameters including tumor diameters and volumes. At the time of sacrifice, di-M-PGE2-treated mice had tumors that were an average of 32% smaller (by weight), contained 60% fewer melanoma cells, and had higher concentrations of cyclic adenosine 3':5'-monophosphate and cyclic guanosine 3':5'-monophosphate (+225% and +100%, respectively).
Shape and motion without depth (2002)

Inferring the depth and shape of remote objects and the camera motion from a sequence of images is possible in principle, but is an ill-conditioned problem when the objects are distant with respect to their size. This problem is overcome by inferring shape and motion without computing depth as an intermediate step. On a single epipolar plane, an image sequence can be represented by the F*P matrix of the image coordinates of P points tracked through F frames. It is shown that under orthographic projection this matrix is of rank three. Using this result, the authors develop a shape-and-motion algorithm based on singular value decomposition. The algorithm gives accurate results, without relying on any smoothness assumption for either shape or motion.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>
Phase-shifted dynamic speckle pattern interferometry at 1 kHz (1999)

We describe a phase-shifting out-of-plane speckle interferometer operating at 1 kHz for studying dynamic events. The system is based on a Pockels cell that is synchronized to a high-speed video camera to ensure that the phase shifting occurs between frames. Phase extraction is performed by use of a standard four-frame algorithm, and temporal phase unwrapping allows sequences of several hundred absolute (rather than relative) displacement maps to be obtained fully automatically. The maximum theoretical surface velocity of 67 microm s(-1) is a factor of 40 greater than can be achieved with a speckle interferometer based on a conventional video camera. We test the system using a target that is displaced with constant speed in a direction normal to its surface by means of a piezoelectric transducer. The system's performance in a practical situation is illustrated with measurements on a thin plate undergoing out-of-plane deformation.
Compressive Strength of Composite Lattice Structures (1998)

This research investigates the strength of composite lattice cylindrical and conical shells under axial compressive loads. The lattice structures are composed of circumferential and helical members, whose cross-sections are rectangular. The failure modes of both cylindrical and conical composite lattice shells are examined. New design constraints to achieve weight efficient structures with high failure loads is presented. Two main failure modes, general buckling as a shell and excessive shear stress in the members, are considered. The main emphasis is placed on the effects of geometrical configuration of the structure and the manufacturing process. Filament winding was used as the method of construction to automate the fabrication process and to minimize manufacturing costs. Numerical results are obtained by finite element analysis which are compared with experimental solutions. The motivation of the present work was to find the optimal winding pattern to which filament winding can be easily applied and still provide the highest strength to weight ratio. The final result of this research includes the numerical and experimental analysis of composite lattice cylindrical and conical shells via filament-winding. This work provides an understanding of composite lattice structures that will be useful in preliminary design of such structures.
Water vapor and SST retrievals from ATSR data (2002)

Excerpts are presented from a longer version of a paper by C. Arulmani et al., in which radiosonde and standard atmospheric profiles were used to simulate 11 and 12 /spl mu/m channel brightness temperatures at the satellite level using LOWTRAN-7 computer code. The effect of CO/sub 2/ is taken into account using standard atmospheres and with the exception of H/sub 2/O, the remaining gases in the atmospheres are treated as uniformly mixed and their effect is accounted for. From this the amount of water vapour was expressed in terms of the brightness temperature difference between the two view angles. Then the temperature equivalent absorption by water vapor was related to the total amount of water vapour. These parametric relations are used to retrieve water vapor and atmospherically corrected sea-surface temperature (SST) from the Along Track Scanning Radiometer (ATSR) data. In some places the water vapor compares well with that from the European Centre for Medium range Weather Forecasting (ECMWF). Also, for some regions sea-surface temperatures (SST) compare well with those produced by SADIST (Synthesis of ATSR Data Into Sea-surface Temperatures) computer code.
A survey of image‐guided radiation therapy use in the United States (2010)

IGRT is widely used among radiation oncologists. On the basis of prospective plans of responders, its use is expected to increase. Further research will be required to determine the safety, cost efficacy, and optimal applications of these technologies.
Oxidation of sputtered molybdenum silicide thin films (1978)

An Auger in-depth analysis and a 350 keV He+ backscattering technique were used to investigate the growth of an SiO2 protective layer and the compositional change in sputtered molybdenum silicide films after oxidation, respectively. Silicon depletion and molybdenum pileup in molybdenum silicide were observed near the SiO2/Mo-Si interface. The film becomes molybdenum rich with increasing oxidation time. The Si/Mo atomic ratio decreases rapidly in the first 30-min period and then decreases slowly, nearly proportionally to the square root of the oxidation time. These behaviors are explained by the preferential oxidation of silicon and the reduced silicon present at the SiO2/Mo-Si interface from the rest of the molybdenum silicide layer.
Hucolin, a new corticosteroid‐binding protein from human plasma with structural similarities to ficolins, transforming growth factor‐β1‐binding proteins (1995)

In order to study the cortisol-binding factors in blood, human plasma was applied to a 11 beta-hydroxy-3-oxo-4-androstene-17 beta-carboxyaminoethylamine-(HACA) 1,4-butanediol diglycidyl ether-Sepharose column. Elution of the column with cortisol buffer produced two protein peaks, the minor peak yielded a protein complex of molecular weight approximately 200 kDa, subsequently termed hucolin. SDS-PAGE analysis under reducing and non-reducing conditions revealed hucolin was a disulphide-linked complex of 35-kDa and 75-kDa subunits. Twenty-five amino acid residues of the N-terminus of the 35-kDa subunit were determined and homology searches revealed an 88% sequence identity with the N-terminal region of beta-ficolin, a transforming growth factor-beta 1 (TGF-beta 1)-binding protein purified from porcine uterus.
The influence of electrode shape on the performance of electrohydraulic lithotripters. (1993)

This study was performed to determine the advantages and disadvantages of the two shapes of electrodes (flat and conical) commonly used in electrohydraulic extracorporeal shock wave lithotripters. Hundreds of measurements made on profiles obtained from a piezoelectric pressure gauge in an underwater shock wave research device showed that conical electrodes are more convenient than flat electrodes, since they produce shock waves with larger compressional amplitudes, less misfires and a better reproducibility, having similar widths and rise times. In an attempt to improve the effectiveness and duration of the electrode tips, a new shape was designed that proved to be more reliable and suitable for lithotripsy than the conventional flat or conical electrodes. Experiments with calculi models placed in the focal region of the shock wave generator seem to confirm the results obtained from pressure measurements.

An integrative probabilistic model for identification of structural variation in sequencing data (2012)

Paired-end sequencing is a common approach for identifying structural variation (SV) in genomes. Discrepancies between the observed and expected alignments indicate potential SVs. Most SV detection algorithms use only one of the possible signals and ignore reads with multiple alignments. This results in reduced sensitivity to detect SVs, especially in repetitive regions. We introduce GASVPro, an algorithm combining both paired read and read depth signals into a probabilistic model which can analyze multiple alignments of reads. GASVPro outperforms existing methods with a 50-90% improvement in specificity on deletions and a 50% improvement on inversions.
Galvanostatic electrodeposition and microstructure of copper (I) oxide film (1998)

Polycrystalline copper (I) oxide films were deposited on stainless steel substrate by galvanostatic electrodeposition method and were characterized by X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy. The effect of bath temperature, bath pH and current density on the compositon, grain size, surface texture and surface morphology of the electrodeposited films were investigated. The films deposited at low bath pH (≤7) consisted of copper (I) oxide and metallic copper; while the films deposited at bath pH between 8 and 12 and bath temperature of 60°C were pure copper (I) oxide. The preferred orientation of the copper (I) oxide films depended on the relative growth rate of {111} and {200} faces and could be controlled by adjusting the bath pH and/or the cathodic current density. (100)-oriented copper (I) oxide films could be deposited at pH=9 and current densities in the range of 0.25–1 mA/cm2, while (111)-oriented films could be prepared at pH=12 or at pH=9 using the current densities between 1.5–2.5 mA/cm2. Computer simulated crystallite shapes showed that the crystal shape changed from octahedral for (100)-oriented film to trucated pyramids and cubs for (111)- oriented film. And they were approved by scanning electron microscopy.
Interaction of TATA-Binding Protein with Upstream Activation Factor Is Required for Activated Transcription of Ribosomal DNA by RNA Polymerase I in <i>Saccharomyces cerevisiae</i> In Vivo (1998)

Previous in vitro studies have shown that initiation of transcription of ribosomal DNA (rDNA) in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae involves an interaction of upstream activation factor (UAF) with the upstream element of the promoter, forming a stable UAF-template complex; together with TATA-binding protein (TBP), UAF then recruits an essential factor, core factor (CF), to the promoter, forming a stable preinitiation complex. TBP interacts with both UAF and CF in vitro. In addition, a subunit of UAF, Rrn9p, interacts with TBP in vitro and in the two-hybrid system, suggesting the possible importance of this interaction for UAF function. Using the yeast two-hybrid system, we have identified three mutations in RRN9 that abolish the interaction of Rrn9p with TBP without affecting its interaction with Rrn10p, another subunit of UAF. Yeast cells containing any one of these individual mutations, L110S, L269P, or L274Q, did not show any growth defects. However, cells containing a combination of L110S with one of the other two mutations showed a temperature-sensitive phenotype, and this phenotype was suppressed by fusing the mutant genes to SPT15, which encodes TBP. In addition, another mutation (F186S), which disrupts both Rrn9p-TBP and Rrn9p-Rrn10p interactions in the two-hybrid system, abolished UAF function in vivo, and this mutational defect was suppressed by fusion of the mutant gene to SPT15 combined with overexpression of Rrn10p. These experiments demonstrate that the interaction of UAF with TBP, which is presumably achieved by the interaction of Rrn9p with TBP, is indeed important for high-level transcription of rDNA by RNA polymerase I in vivo.
Impact of metformin on cardiovascular disease: a meta-analysis of randomised trials among people with type 2 diabetes (2017)

There remains uncertainty about whether metformin reduces risk of cardiovascular disease among patients with type 2 diabetes, for whom it is the recommended first-line drug. Although this is mainly due to absence of evidence, it is unlikely that a definitive placebo-controlled cardiovascular endpoint trial among people with diabetes will be forthcoming. Alternative approaches to reduce the uncertainty include the use of electronic health records in long-term pragmatic evaluations, inclusion of metformin in factorial trials, publication of cardiovascular outcome data from adverse event reporting in trials of metformin and a cardiovascular endpoint trial of metformin among people without diabetes.
Growth of Three Established Cell Lies on Glass Micmders (1983)

summary Three established cell lines were examined for growth on a newly developed microcarrier which consists of glass beads. The cells were simultaneously examined for growth on comrnercially available microcarriers made from DEAE-dextran and from plastic. Cell yields on the glass microcarriers were comparable to the cell yields on the commercially available products. Cells grown on the glass microcarriers were easily separated from the substratum by trypsinization (as were the cells grown on the plastic substratum) while the cells grown on the DEAEdextran particles were much more trypsin resistant. After removal of cells from the glass microcarriers, the cells reattached and spread out in plastic flasks as readily as cells harvested from monolayer. Scanning electron microscopy revealed dramatic differences in the appearance of the cells grown on the glass microcarriers and cells grown on the DEAE-dextran microcarriers. On the glass micmcarriers, cells attached to the substratum through long, slender filopodia while on the DEAE-dextran microcarriers, the entire edge of the cell appeared to be in contact with the substratum. This dissimilarity in attachment could underly the difference in sensitivity to trypsin-mediated detachment. Finally, the glass microcarriers were washed after being used once and retested for their ability to support cell growth a second time. Nearly identical results were obtained with the reprocessed beads as with previously unused ones.
Case‐control study of dietary etiological factors: The Melbourne colorectal cancer study (1987)

As part of a large-scale investigation of colorectal cancer (CRC) incidence, etiology, and survival, a case-control study was conducted to identify dietary factors associated with the risk of CRC. The study compared 715 cases with 727 age- and sex-matched community controls. A quantitative diet history, assessed to be the most representative of the previous 20 years, was obtained from each subject and analyzed for both food groups and nutrients. The combination of a high-fiber and high-vegetable intake was found to be protective against large bowel cancer. Cruciferous vegetable intake was also found, although with less certainty, to be protective. Dietary vitamin C was protective for estimated intakes greater than 230 mg/day. Dietary Beta-carotene had no separate association with the risk of CRC. Beef intake was a risk factor in males but not in females. Fat intake was a risk factor for both males and females. A low intake of milk drinks was a risk for both males and females. A high intake of pork and fish was protective. The use of vitamin supplements was highly protective. A risk score, which was calculated as the number of risk factors an individual has in his or her diet, showed an increasing monotonic relationship with risk of CRC. The effects of the dietary variables were similar for colon and rectal cancer and, with the exception of beef, were similar for males and females.
Activation of mating type genes by transposition in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. (1979)

Yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae may express an a or alpha mating type. These cells types may be interconverted as a consequence of heritable genetic alteractions at the mating type locus (MAT). According to the more general controlling element model [Oshima, U. & Takano, I. (1971) Genetics 67, 327--335] and the specific cassette model [Hicks, J., Strathern, J. & Herskowitz, I. (1977) in DNA Insertion Elements, Plasmids and Episomes, eds. Bukhari, A. I., Shapiro, J.A. & Adhya, S. L.(Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, Cold Spring Harbor, NY), pp. 457--462], the regulatory information required for switching the MAT locus exists at two other loosely linked loci, HMa and HMalpha. Specifically, the HMa and HMalpha loci are proposed to carry silent alpha and silent a genes, respectively. According to these models, switching occurs when a replica of a silent gene replaces the resident information at the mating type locus and is thereby expressed. These models predict that mutations at the silent ("storage") loci would generate defective MAT loci subsequent to the switching process. Therefore, the behavior of HMalpha mutants during the mating type interconversion was investigated. The results demonstrate that defective MATa alleles are generated by switching the MATalpha locus in HMalpha mutants. Thus, the genetic information from HMalpha is transposed to the mating type locus. These results provide genetic evidence in support of these models.
