Health Monitoring System using Wearable Sensor Network for Workers in Industries (2020)

In recent years, the industries are focusing more on the safety and health of workers. The healthcare system is going through a transformation in which continuous monitoring of inhabitants is possible. There is a demand for innovative solutions that incorporate emerging technologies. Proposed system is an IOT based solution. Wearable sensor network can detect abnormal and unforeseen situations by monitoring physiological and environmental parameters. Wearable sensors on different subjects can communicate with each other and transmit the data to gateway. They provide warnings when health parameters of individuals and environmental parameters go beyond permissible limit. A smart IOT gateway can be implemented to provide data processing, local web server and cloud connection. It can forward the data to IOT cloud for further storage, processing and visualization.

As an objective indication, the time sequence regularity of GDNF after brain injury may be applied in brain injury time estimation.
An Experiment in Software Component Retrieval based on Metadata and Ontology Repository (2013)

Software component reuse is the use of existing software components to build a new software system. Effective storage and retrieval of software components is much essential in software components reuse process. The researchers have developed a number of software components reuse techniques for storage and retrieval of software components. No one technique is complete in its own; every technique has its own merits and demerits. This paper presents a meta-data model and faceted classification for storage and retrieval of software components that considers domain semantic information based on ontologies and texonomies. In contrast to most existing repositories, which only retrieve a limited set of components, the proposed meta-data model makes possible the recommendation of interrelated components, as ontology and taxonomies characteristics were incorporated. The software component retrieval based on facet classification is a method which has been widely applied in software component retrieval, but the precision of software component retrieval is poor as a result of subjective factor in faceted classification retrieval. The architecture of software component retrieval system and the model of software component retrieval system were designed, the corresponding match algorithm was provided. According to the relation of facet and term space, meta-data repository was established and abstracted from domain knowledge which formed coherent retrieval in the domain and was applied to software component retrieval process. These terms in the meta-data repository were then used to match software components which described in the software component description repository with facet classification, related software components were retrieved from the software component repository. The results of application show that the new software component retrieval method can evidently improve the component retrieval precision and take care of the full-scale of the searching results.

Preparation of Silver−Latex Composites (2000)

Several in-situ chemical reduction methods were systematically evaluated in view of the formation of silver−latex composites, and in particular with respect to the task of coating colloidal latex spheres with uniform thin layers of silver. Such nanocomposite materials are of profound interest, due to their expected novel optical properties. The samples were investigated by transmission electron microscopy and UV−vis spectroscopy. A range of silver particle features was obtained, including even and uniform silver coatings in the nanometer size regime on the latex particles.
Analysis and prospective design for the treatment of cancer and AIDS by numerical simulation and supercomputer (2003)

Rational drug design by numerical simulation is considered. The application of a tightly coupled experimental and theoretical effort in drug development, which enables a greatly enhanced drug discovery effort in oncology and AIDS drug development, is urged. A specific example of this approach is presented. It deals with the formation of a stable DNA triple-helix complex targeted to cancer and AIDS therapy.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>

Range of variability for economic characters in cotton germplasm (G. hirsutum L) (2000)

Three hundred germplasm lines of Gossypium hirsutum L. were evaluated during 1996–97 and 1997–98 crop seasons. An assessment of range of variability present in respect of various economic characters has been made. Promising germplasm lines with high yield (55 gm and above per plant), mean boll weight (4.00 gm and above), boll number per plant, monopods, sympods, ginning out turn (35.0% and above) and mean halo length (26 mm and above) have been listed. Fifteen germplasm lines combining moderate to high yields with other economic characters have.been identified which may be included in the hybridization programme of crop improvement. Two germplasm lines namely, MEX. 121 and 51.041 (V 1508) have outyielded for almost all the characters studied.
Quantitative analysis of the phospholipids of some marine bioluminescent bacteria (1971)

Abstract Quantitative analyses of the phospholipids of three strains of marine bioluminescent bacteria were carried out after separation by two‐dimensional thin layer chromatography. The phospholipids of all three species consisted of about 75% phosphatidyl ethanolamine, 13% phosphatidyl glycerol and 7% cardiolipin. The composition was only slightly affected by drastic changes in the growth conditions. One of the species contained poly‐β‐hydroxybutyrate. The fatty acids of another species contained principally straight and branched‐chain 16 and 18 carbon fatty acids. No clue as to the nature of the elusive “aldehyde factor” of bacterial bioluminescence was found by analysis of aldehyde deficient mutants, indicating that possibly the factor is not a major phospholipid of these bacteria.
Role for compartmentalization in nephron progenitor differentiation (2013)

Embryonic nephron progenitor cells are segregated in molecularly distinct compartments of unknown function. Our study reveals an integral role for bone morphogenetic protein-SMAD in promoting transition of progenitors from the primitive Cbp/p300-interacting transactivator 1 expressing (CITED1+) compartment to the uniquely sine oculis-related homeobox 2 expressing (SIX2-only) compartment where they become inducible by wingless-type mouse mammary tumor virus integration site family member (WNT)/β-catenin signaling. Significantly, CITED1(+) cells are refractory to WNT/β-catenin induction. We propose a model in which the primitive CITED1(+) compartment is refractory to induction by WNT9b/β-catenin, ensuring maintenance of undifferentiated progenitor cells for future nephrogenesis. Bone morphogenetic protein 7-SMAD is then required for transition to a distinct compartment in which cells become inducible by WNT9b/β-catenin, allowing them to progress toward epithelialization.
System for definition of the central-chest vasculature (2009)

Accurate definition of the central-chest vasculature from three-dimensional (3D) multi-detector CT (MDCT) images is important for pulmonary applications. For instance, the aorta and pulmonary artery help in automatic definition of the Mountain lymph-node stations for lung-cancer staging. This work presents a system for defining major vascular structures in the central chest. The system provides automatic methods for extracting the aorta and pulmonary artery and semi-automatic methods for extracting the other major central chest arteries/veins, such as the superior vena cava and azygos vein. Automatic aorta and pulmonary artery extraction are performed by model fitting and selection. The system also extracts certain vascular structure information to validate outputs. A semi-automatic method extracts vasculature by finding the medial axes between provided important sites. Results of the system are applied to lymph-node station definition and guidance of bronchoscopic biopsy.
Integration of Wireless Sensor and Actuator Nodes With IT Infrastructure Using Service-Oriented Architecture (2012)

A large number of potential applications for Wireless Sensor and Actuator Networks (WSAN) have yet to be embraced by industry despite high interest amongst academic researchers. This is due to various factors such as unpredictable costs related to development, deployment and maintenance of WSAN, especially when integration with existing IT infrastructure and legacy systems is needed. Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) is seen as a promising technique to bridge the gap between sensor nodes and enterprise applications such as factory monitoring, control, and tracking systems where sensor data is used. To date, research efforts have focused on middleware software systems located in gateway devices that implement standard service technology, such as Devices Profile for Web Services (DPWS), for interacting with the sensor network. This paper takes a different approach-deploying interoperable Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP)-based web services directly on the nodes and not using gateways. This strategy provides for easy integration with legacy IT systems and supports heterogeneity at the lowest level. Twofold analysis of the related overhead, which is the main challenge of this solution, is performed; Quantification of resource consumption as well as techniques to mitigate it are presented, along with latency measurements showing the impact of different parts of the system on system performance. A proof-of-concept application using Mulle-a resource-constrained sensor platform-is also presented.
mTOR-dependent activation of the transcription factor TIF-IA links rRNA synthesis to nutrient availability (2004)

In cycling cells, transcription of ribosomal RNA genes by RNA polymerase I (Pol I) is tightly coordinated with cell growth. Here, we show that the mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) regulates Pol I transcription by modulating the activity of TIF-IA, a regulatory factor that senses nutrient and growth-factor availability. Inhibition of mTOR signaling by rapamycin inactivates TIF-IA and impairs transcription-initiation complex formation. Moreover, rapamycin treatment leads to translocation of TIF-IA into the cytoplasm. Rapamycin-mediated inactivation of TIF-IA is caused by hypophosphorylation of Se 44 (S44) and hyperphosphorylation of Se 199 (S199). Phosphorylation at these sites affects TIF-IA activity in opposite ways, for example, phosphorylation of S44 activates and S199 inactivates TIF-IA. The results identify a new target formTOR-signaling pathways and elucidate the molecular mechanism underlying mTOR-dependent regulation of RNA synthesis.
Super‐resolution bright‐field optical microscopy based on nanometer topographic contrast (2004)

By using an expectation-maximization maximum likelihood estimation algorithm to improve the lateral resolution of a recently developed non-interferometric wide-field optical profilometer, we obtain super-resolution bright-field optical images of nanometer features on a flat surface. The optical profilometer employs a 365-nm light source and an ordinary objective lens of a 0.95 numerical aperture. For objects of 100 nm thickness, lateral features about lambda/7 can be resolved in the restored images without fluorescence labeling. Current image acquisition rate is 0.1 frame/sec, which is limited by the brightness of the light source. With a brighter light source, the imaging speed can be fast enough for real-time observation of dynamic activities in the nanometer scale.
Rhodococcus equi plasmids: isolation and partial characterization (1991)

Fifty-four strains of Rhodococcus equi from different clinical sources (mainly horses and pigs) were examined for their plasmid content by two screening methods. Plasmids were detected in 49 of 54 strains. A plasmid of approximately 80 kb was isolated from 21 of 22 isolates from horses and 20 of 28 isolates from pigs, and a 105-kb plasmid was isolated from 7 of 28 isolates from pigs. The 80-kb plasmid was significantly associated with strains of equine rather than porcine origin, and the 105-kb plasmid was significantly associated with strains of porcine origin. The type strain, ATCC 6939, consistently failed to yield a plasmid. Restriction enzyme analysis of purified plasmid DNA confirmed the relatedness of the 80-kb plasmids isolated from strains of equine and porcine origin. More differences between the restriction patterns of plasmids from strains isolated from horses and from pigs than among strains from either species were observed. Restriction enzyme analysis also showed relatedness of the 105-kb plasmid to the 80-kb plasmid. Three strains shown by others to be virulent in horses or mice possessed the 80-kb plasmid, whereas three other strains not virulent for horses or mice lacked the plasmid, although one had the 105-kb plasmid. There was a significant but not perfect association between the presence of the 80-kb plasmid and production of a diffuse 17.5-kDa thermoregulated, virulence-associated protein. Further study is needed to determine whether this plasmid is associated with virulence in R. equi.
The temporal development of hollow cathode discharges (1990)

The temporal development of hollow cathode discharges was studied by means of electrical and optical diagnostic techniques. The results indicate that the discharge develops in two stages. The initial breakdown occurs along the longest straight path of the system, i.e. from the anode to the bottom of the cathode hole. This predischarge is confined to a narrow filament along the axis and carries a current of up to hundreds of milliamperes. The resulting distortion of the electric field in the cathode hole is assumed to cause a radial breakdown from the filamentary plasma on the axis to the edge of the cathode hole. After this second breakdown, an increase in current by more than three orders of magnitude is observed. Measurements with axial magnetic fields support the two-stage model.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>
Latest approaches for the treatment of obesity (2015)

The future for new weight-loss approaches to treat obesity looks promising. Current therapies have shown modest effects on weight loss in the general obese population but will have greater impact in smaller homogeneous sub-populations of obese subjects using personalized medicine. Drug combinations that target multiple, complementary pathways have the potential to promote double-digit weight loss in a broader, heterogeneous patient population. Furthermore, the development of advanced subcutaneous delivery technologies has opened up opportunities to develop breakthrough peptide and biologic agents for the treatment of obesity.
The demise of a class of protists: taxonomic and nomenclatural revisions proposed for the protest phylum Myxozoa Grassé, 1970 (1994)

The phylum Myxozoa has been considered to comprise two classes, Myxosporea Bütschli, 1881 (primarily of fishes) and Actinosporea Noble in Levine et al., 1980 (primarily of aquatic oligochaetes). About 10 years ago it was demonstrated that the life cycle of Myxobolus cerebralis Hofer, 1903 (Myxobolidae: Platysporina) of salmonid fishes requires transformation of the myxosporean into an actinosporean stage in the oligochaete worm Tubifex tubifex (Tubificidae), and that the stage infective to fish is the actinosporean spore. This type of two-host life cycle has now been demonstrated or strongly implicated for 14 myxosporean species, belonging to 6 genera in 4 families. In light of these findings, the taxonomy of the Myxozoa is revised. We propose the following: suppression of the newer class Actinosporea and the order Actinomyxidia Štolc, 1899; and suppression of all families in the Actinosporea except Tetractinomyxidae. This family and its one genus, Tetractinomyxon Ikeda, 1912, are transferred to the order Multivalvulida Shulman, 1959 (Myxosporea). We also propose that actinosporean generic names be treated as collective-group names, thus they do not compete in priority with myxosporean generic names. Triactinomyxon dubium Granata, 1924 and Triactinomyxon gyrosalmo Wolf and Markiw, 1984 are suppressed as junior synonyms of Myxobolus cerebralis. The myxosporean stage of no other previously named actinosporean has been identified. Other actinosporean species are therefore retained as species inquirendae until their myxosporean stages are identified. A revised description of the phylum Myxozoa is provided that includes our proposed taxonomic and nomenclatural changes.
Increased expression of COX-2 in nontumor liver tissue is associated with shorter disease-free survival in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma. (1999)

Recent studies have shown increased levels of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) in a variety of human malignancies including hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), but little is known about the prognostic value of COX-2 in HCC or its associated nontumor liver tissue. We examined the expression of COX-2 protein by immunohistochemistry in 53 patients with HCCs whose corresponding nontumor tissues were hepatitis C virus-related chronic hepatitis (n = 21) and cirrhosis (n = 32). Samples of nine histologically normal livers and eight precancerous dysplasias were also analyzed. The level of COX-2 increased from normal liver to chronic hepatitis to cirrhosis. The majority of cirrhotic livers (81%) displayed marked COX-2 expression. In dysplasias, COX-2 expression was mainly moderate or strong (88%). In HCC, 17% of samples displayed a high COX-2 expression, and 37% of samples expressed COX-2 at a moderate level. Concordant results were obtained with reverse transcription-PCR and Western blot analyses. Clinicopathological survey indicated a significant correlation between COX-2 expression and differentiated carcinoma (P = 0.019). Although there was no correlation between COX-2 expression in HCC and prognosis, a striking difference was found between COX-2 expression in nontumor tissue and shorter disease-free survival (P = 0.0132). Moreover, high COX-2 expression in nontumor tissue was significantly correlated with the presence of active inflammation (P < 0.0001). The present findings suggest that COX-2 expression in nontumor tissue may play a positive role in relapse of HCC after surgery.
G95-1266 Environmental Considerations for Manure Application System Selection (1995)

Selection and operation of manure application equipment must consider environmental issues along with materials handling and economic factors. Land application of livestock manure faces growing scrutiny because of potential surface and groundwater contamination and odor nuisances. Producers must consider features of a manure application system that enhance their ability to use manure's nutrients, and provide ways to minimize nuisances experienced by neighbors during manure application.

Sequence Requirements for the Assembly of Simian Virus 40 T Antigen and the T-Antigen Origin Binding Domain on the Viral Core Origin of Replication (1999)

The regions of the simian virus 40 (SV40) core origin that are required for stable assembly of virally encoded T antigen (T-ag) and the T-ag origin binding domain (T-ag-obd(131-260)) have been determined. Binding of the purified T-ag-obd(131-260) is mediated by interactions with the central region of the core origin, site II. In contrast, T-ag binding and hexamer assembly requires a larger region of the core origin that includes both site II and an additional fragment of DNA that may be positioned on either side of site II. These studies indicate that in the context of T-ag, the origin binding domain can engage the pentanucleotides in site II only if a second region of T-ag interacts with one of the flanking sequences. The requirements for T-ag double-hexamer assembly are complex; the nucleotide cofactor present in the reaction modulates the sequence requirements for oligomerization. Nevertheless, these experiments provide additional evidence that only a subset of the SV40 core origin is required for assembly of T-ag double hexamers.
