Four enzymes of one-carbon metabolism in blood cells of schizophrenics. (1978)

In dit hoofdstuk is de lezer vertrouwd gemaakt met wat onder 'externe logistiek' wordt verstaan. In paragraaf 7.1 werden daartoe een aantal begrippen behandeld die in de literatuur naar voren komen. Door aan te geven hoe de samenhang is tussen de logistieke hoofdgebieden was het mogelijk een herkenbaar terminologisch kader te scheppen. Duidelijk is gemaakt dat ook terminologisch gezien evaluaties plaatsvinden, omdat uiteraard de terminologie de werkelijke ontwikkelingen dient te volgen. De deelsystemen van fysieke distributie werden behandeld en een groot aantal voorbeelden is gegeven van verschillende beslissingen in de betreffende deelsystemen. De behandeling van produktkarakteristieken in ruime zin vond plaats in paragraaf 7.2. Duidelijk is gemaakt dat een aantal factoren een belangrijke invloed uitoefenen op de organisatie en inrichting van de fysieke-distributiefunctie. Door een systematische opzet te presenteren van de produktkarakteristieken\nin enge zin en in ruime zin, ontstaateen typologie die behulpzaam kan zijn bij het zoeken naar de belangrijkste criteria die aangehouden kunnen worden bij de keuze van de inrichting van de fysieke distributie. Om een en ander dichter bij de lezer te brengen vond een systematische behandeling\nplaats van de elementen in de typologie. \nDe produktkarakteristieken in enge zin werden in paragraaf 7.3 meer diepgaand behandeld, teneinde vast te kunnen stellen wat de bijdrage van het inzicht in deze karakteristieken kan betekenen voor de strategische aandachtspunten in de fysieke distributie en het voorraad-allocatiebeleid. Een hoge waardedichtheid rechtvaardigt specifieke aandacht voor het werken met zo laag mogelijke voorraden, terwijl een lage waardedichtheid op de noodzaak duidt dat het transporteren, handlen en opslaan van produkten zo effectief mogelijk dient te worden uitgevoerd. Een hoge verpakkingsdichtheid betekent dat vooral gelet dient te worden op mogelijke mechanisatie of automatisering van het handlingproces, terwijl bij een lage verpakkingsdichtheid het vermijden van handlen en opslaan voordelen kan opleveren. Het behandelde voorbeeld van het voorraad-allocatiebeleid laat zien dat het in toenemende mate economisch verantwoord is rechtstreeks te gaan leveren, dus buiten een magazijn om. Vooral voor produkten met een lagere waardedichtheid leidt dit tot goedkopere oplossingen.

Ultrastructural study of the effect of POLYCTFE on primate liver (1990)

Polychlorotrifluoroethylene (POLYCTFE) existing as oligomers of 3 and 4 units, is a candidate base stock for a nonflammable hydraulic fluid for advanced aircraft. POLYCTFE caused significant changes in the livers of rats after repeated inhalation exposure. Ultrastructural studies of the livers from rats exposed to vapors of POLYCTFE oligomers for 90-days revealed an increase in the number of peroxisomes, dose-dependent mitochondrial swelling and a dose-dependent increase in smooth endoplasmic reticulum. The objective of this study was to ultrastructurally examine hepatocytes from the livers of primates exposed to POLYCTFE and compare the exposed primate hepatocytes to those from rat livers, in order to determine the relevance of the effect of POLYCTFE on rat livers to human livers. Male rhesus monkeys weighing 8 to 10 kg were dosed by gavage daily for 15 days with 0.725.g/kg POLYCTFE. Four animals received POLYCTFE and 3 received a comparable amount of water.
Moisture and Shelf Life in Sugar Confections (2010)

From hardening of marshmallow to graining of hard candies, moisture plays a critical role in determining the quality and shelf life of sugar-based confections. Water is important during the manufacturing of confections, is an important factor in governing texture, and is often the limiting parameter during storage that controls shelf life. Thus, an understanding of water relations in confections is critical to controlling quality. Water content, which is controlled during candy manufacturing through an understanding of boiling point elevation, is one of the most important parameters that governs the texture of candies. For example, the texture of caramel progresses from soft and runny to hard and brittle as the moisture content decreases. However, knowledge of water content by itself is insufficient to controlling stability and shelf life. Understanding water activity, or the ratio of vapor pressures, is necessary to control shelf life. A difference in water activity, either between candy and air or between two domains within the candy, is the driving force for moisture migration in confections. When the difference in water activity is large, moisture migration is rapid, although the rate of moisture migration depends on the nature of resistances to water diffusion. Barrier packaging films protect the candy from air whereas edible films inhibit moisture migration between different moisture domains within a confection. More recently, the concept of glass transition, or the polymer science approach, has supplemented water activity as a critical parameter related to candy stability. Confections with low moisture content, such as hard candy, cotton candy, and some caramels and toffees, may contain sugars in the amorphous or glassy state. As long as these products remain below their glass transition temperature, they remain stable for very long times. However, certain glassy sugars tend to be hygroscopic, rapidly picking up moisture from the air, which causes significant changes that lead to the end of shelf life. These products need to be protected from moisture uptake during storage. This review summarizes the concepts of water content, water activity, and glass transition and documents their importance to quality and shelf life of confections.
Monet; a next-Generation DBMS Kernel For Query-Intensive Applications (2002)

Monet is a database kernel targeted at query-intensive, heavy analysis applications (the opposite of transaction processing), which include OLAP and data mining, but also go beyond the business domain in GIS processing, multi-media retrieval and XML. The clean sheet approach of Monet tries to depart from the traditional RDBMS design and implementation patterns in an attempt to obtain best performance on modern hardware, which has changed a lot since the currently dominant relational database systems were designed and developed. While most hardware components have experienced exponential growth in power over the years (a.k.a. Moore's law), I/O and especially memory latency have been lagging, creating an exponentially growing bottleneck. Additionally, modern hyperpipelined CPUs increasingly require code that is fully predictable (as to avoid branch mispredictions) and independent (to exploit parallel execution units) in order to reach their advertised performance, which makes a tough match with the interpreted, highly unpredictable and interdependent code found in database execution engines. The choice in Monet for the Decomposed Storage Model (DSM), which stores data in binary (2-column) tables only is motivated by the fact that query-intensive access patterns often profit from a vertically fragmented physical data model, which minimizes both I/O and cache misses when queries touch many rows but few columns. The column-wise processing model followed in the MIL language allows for a ``RISC'' (Reduced Instruction Set) query processing algebra, whose operators have a very low degree of freedom, thus allowing for a CPU-wise highly efficient implementation (i.e. one that consists of predictable and independent instructions). Also, specific attention was paid in Monet in developing cache-conscious query processing algorithms, in particular the radix-algorithms for join processing. This thesis is a reference to the Monet system in all its detail, and also outlines an SQL front-end that uses Monet as a back-end, for constructing a full-fledged SQL compliant RDBMS including ACID properties.
Incisional closure in morbidly obese patients. (1989)

Wound complications cause significant morbidity in patients undergoing gastric restrictive procedures. Two randomized, prospective trials were done evaluating suture technique and material. A subcutaneous suction catheter was used for 48 hours in all patients. In Trial I a Polyglactin-910 (Vicryl) suture, #1 in size, was used. Patients were randomized between interrupted Smead-Jones far-far-near-near sutures and running sutures. Because hernia formation appeared excessive in both groups of patients, a second study was done comparing running #1 polydioxanone (PDS) and #1 polypropylene (Prolene) suture. Hernia formation was excessive in this group as well. The authors conclude running and interrupted closures are of equal reliability. Hernia formation was excessive in both groups. The type of suture material used in these studies was inconsequential. A better method of closure is needed in morbidly obese patients to achieve less postoperative hernia formation.
Boundary Film Formation by Viscosity Index Improvers (1996)

Ultrathin film interferometry has been used to measure the film-forming properties of a range of viscosity index improver (VII) solutions in rolling, concentrated contacts. It has been shown that some VIIs form boundary lubricating films of thickness 10 to 30 nm in contacts. These films result from the presence of highly concentrated and thus very viscous layers of polymer solution formed on the two rubbing solid surfaces by polymer adsorption. These boundary films are formed only by some types of VII and can persist up to temperatures in excess of 120°C. The possible implications of this type of boundary lubrication are discussed.
Low-complexity rate-distortion optimal macroblock mode selection and motion estimation for MPEG-like video coders (2005)

Rate-distortion optimization can significantly improve encoder performance in MPEG-like video coding applications. Nevertheless, mode selection and motion estimation (ME) in a rate-distortion optimized setting can entail a prohibitive computational cost. In this paper, we propose a macroblock mode selection algorithm by employing computationally-efficient, yet highly-effective rate-distortion models. We also consider joint optimization of the ME with the mode selection. With our extensive analysis on various video sequences, we show that the proposed algorithm provides significant improvements with negligible increase in overall computational load. With the proposed method, we achieve 3.13, 1.78, and 1.64 dB peak signal-to-noise ratio gains over TM5 on the average, at the bit rates 2, 4, and 6 Mb/s, respectively, with CCIR-601 video. (More information about the DSP/VLSI implementation of the proposed algorithm may be found online at: http://www.ece.gatech.edu/research/labs/MCCL).
Control Models for Queueing Systems Using Stochastic Petri Nets (1995)

In this paper, a threshold policy is considered for the Markovian queueing system with server vacations. The threshold policy considered in this paper has the following form: when the number of customers present in the system increases to N, the server is turned on and serves customers until the system becomes empty. In this paper, we show how the finite capacity or finite population queueing system under a threshold policy can be modeled by the stochastic Petri net. The performance evaluation of the model is carried out using the software called SPNP. Some examples are also presented in which it is shown that how the optimal threshold policies can be obtained under a linear cost structure.
The role of ‘others’ in the self-narrative and memory construction on social network sites: a case study of Facebook parenting stories (2019)

Autobiographical memories that define self-concept are often configured in self-narratives that take place through social interactions or take the form of literary genres. Providing interactive and narrative spaces, Facebook as a social network site not only serves to elicit and inscribe memories, but also changes the relationships between narrators and their interactive others. Via multiple case studies, this paper focuses on the topic of parent-child memories, investigating how multiple others, including proximate/significant other, subject Other, coaxer, addressee, and imagined and real audience, are involved in personal narrative memories on Facebook. \n\nThis research finds that the interviewees tend to fit in with the common culture of Facebook and script their posts about parent-child lives as happy short stories. The coaxers in the cases are the narrators themselves, who want to record precious memories or adapt to life situations. Against various subject Others, the interviewees construct the narrated “I”s. The feedback mechanisms of Facebook allow the interviewees to perceive audiences’ responses, thus enhancing their motivations for posting and sharing memories. Playing collaborative coaxers, the audiences act as the agents of social accountability, affecting the interviewees’ narrative strategies and their methods of selecting and organizing memories. Comparing with the usual imagined and real audiences, the addressees’ perspectives and responses are more influential. Self-censorships based on others’ gaze are related to self-gaze. Owing to its interactive mechanisms and observable cultural patterns, Facebook accommodates the interplays between others’ gaze and self-gaze implicated in the continuous micro-memory narratives on the platform.

Memory Yield Improvement through Multiple Test Sequences and Application-Aware Fault Models (2008)

In this paper, we propose a way to improve the yield of memory products by selecting the appropriate test strategy for memory Built- in Self-Test (BIST). We argue that by testing the memory through a sequence of test algorithms which differ in their fault coverage, it is possible to bin the memory into multiple yield bins and increase the yield and product revenue. Further, the test strategy must take into consideration the usage model of the memory. Thus, a number of video and audio buffers are used in sequential access mode, but are overtested using conventional memory test algorithms which model a large number of defects which do not impact the operation of the buffers. We propose a binning strategy where memory test algorithms are applied in different order of strictness such that bins have a specific defect / fault grade. Depending on the applications some of these bins need not be discarded but sold at a lower price as the functionality would never catch the fault due to its usage of memory. We introduce the notion of a test map for the on-chip memories in a SoC and provide results of yield simulation on two specific test strategies called "Most Strict First" and "Least Strict First". Our simulations indicate that significant improvements in yield are possible through the adoption of the proposed technique. We show that the BIST controller area and run-time overheads also reduce when information about the usage model of the memory, such as sequential access, is exploited.

Influence of Temperature, Strain Rate, Surface Condition, and Composition on the Plasticity of Transition-Metal Carbide Crystals (1964)

A fundamental study of the ductile-brittle behavior of the transition-metal monocarbides has been initiated through an investigation of the plastic deformation of single crystals of TiC, ZrC, and NbC. A vacuum furnace was used with an Instron testing machine for compression measurements in the temperature range 800° to 1600°C. The specimens were Linde single-crystal boules, cleaved into bars approximately 1×1×4 mm. The compressive stress was applied longitudinally in a 〈100〉 direction in the NaCl structure. The three carbides studied behaved similarly, but NbC was several times harder than TiC and ZrC. The critical resolved shear stress τ decreases exponentially with increasing temperature, increases approximately linearly with increasing carbon content, is little affected by surface condition, and increases as the logarithm of the strain rate. No yield point was observed. The effective stress exponent depends on the strain rate, ranging from 1 to 10. These results are discussed in relation to recent theories of the stress-strain relation.

VENETA: Serverless Friend-of-Friend Detection in Mobile Social Networking (2008)

Recently, mobile social software has become an active area of research and development. A multitude of systems have been proposed over the past years that try to follow the success of their Internet bound equivalents. Many mobile solutions try to augment the functionality of existing platforms with location awareness. The price for mobility, however, is typically either the lack of the popular friendship exploration features or the costs involved to access a central server required for this functionality. In this paper, we try to address this issue by introducing a decentralized method that is able to explore the social neighborhood of a user by detecting friends of friends. Rather than only exploiting information about the users of the system, the method relies on real friends, and adequately addresses the arising privacy issues. Moreover, we present VENETA, a mobile social networking platform which, among other features, implements our novel friend of friend detection algorithm.
Imidazoline Receptors, Novel Agents and Therapeutic Potential (2006)

The initial realization that agents containing an imidazoline structure may interact with a distinct class of receptors, has led to a major class of cardiovascular agents, which now has the potential to enter a third generation. There is now general acceptance that there are three main imidazoline receptor classes, the I(1) imidazoline receptor which mediates the sympatho-inhibitory actions to lower blood pressure, the I(2) receptor which is an important allosteric binding site of monoamine oxidase and the I(3) receptor which regulates insulin secretion from pancreatic beta cells. Thus all three represent important targets for cardiovascular research. Interestingly, an I(1)- receptor candidate has been cloned (IRAS, imidazoline receptor antisera selected) which is a homologue of the mouse cell adhesion integrin binding protein Nischarin. There has been range of new agonists and antagonists with very high selectivity for I(1), I(2) and I(3) receptors developed. Three different endogenous ligands have been characterized including agmatine (decarboxylated arginine), a range of beta-carbolines including harman and harmane, and more recently imidazoleacetic acid-ribotide. The imidazoline field has recently seen an enormous diversification with discoveries that I(1) and I(2) receptors also play a role in cell proliferation, regulation of body fat, neuroprotection, inflammation and some psychiatric disorders such as depression. This diversification has continued with the addition of effective agents with imidazoline affinity in the fields of cancer, pain and opioid addiction, stress, cell adhesion, epilepsy and appetite. The imidazoline field has maturated considerably with a range of highly selective leader molecules, candidate receptors and endogenous ligands. We are therefore only at the threshold of an exciting new era as we begin to understand the diverse and complex nature of their function.
Erlotinib: the first biologic in the management of pancreatic cancer (2008)

The combination of gemcitabine and erlotinib is the first combination therapy to demonstrate survival benefits in pancreatic cancer in a Phase III study albeit a modest one. Increased understanding of the EGFR pathway may permit the use of other targeted agents to either augment therapeutic efficacy or circumvent resistance. It is warranted to develop strategies to truly target our therapy with the EGFR agents by identifying those patients who are most likely to derive benefit and achieve meaningful responses.
