The Correlation between Serum Selenium and Blood Selenium in Cattle (1992)

The selenium (Se) concentration of paired blood and serum samples from cattle was determined by 2 methods: 1) atomic absorption spectroscopy using hydride generation (HG-AAS), and 2) inductively coupled argon plasma emission spectroscopy using hydride generation (ICP). Samples from 327 cattle were analyzed by HG-AAS, and samples from 344 cattle were analyzed by ICP. The data were examined by linear regression analysis, and the technique of inverse prediction was utilized to determine prediction intervals for estimating blood Se concentration from known serum Se concentration. The correlation coefficients, by simple linear regression of serum Se on blood Se, were 0.79 (r2 = 0.62) and 0.88 (r2 = 0.77) for the HG-AAS data and the ICP data, respectively. For the HG-AAS data, the inverse prediction formula for estimating blood Se when serum Se is known, at the 95% prediction interval, was [formula; see text]. For the ICP data, the inverse prediction formula for estimating blood Se when serum Se is known, at the 95% prediction interval, was [formula; see text]. The prediction intervals were quite wide, and the accuracy of estimating blood Se from a known serum Se was not useful for diagnostic purposes. The use of serum Se concentration to assess nutritional status of cattle with respect to Se does not appear to be appropriate.
Eradication of Aleutian disease of mink by eliminating positive counterimmunoelectrophoresis test reactors (1978)

The counterimmunoelectrophorsis test was applied on three Aleutian disease virus-infected mink ranches for the detection of specific Aleutian disease virus antibody. All mink on the ranches were tested during the pelting season and before the breeding season for 4 consecutive years. Aleutian disease has been eliminated from the three commercial mink ranches by culling out all mink that were positive for Aleutian disease virus antibody.

Farnesyltransferase Inhibitor in Cancer Treatment (2011)

Cancer is a class of diseases characterized by uncontrolled growth of abnormal cells anywhere in the body and the ability of these cells to invade other locations in the body, either by direct growth into adjacent tissue or by migration of cells to distant sites. This unregulated growth is caused by damage to DNA, resulting in mutations to genes that encode proteins controlling cell division. To prevent this unregulated growth various anticancer drug (Chen et al., 2011; Kim & Dass 2011) have been developed. But these drugs have severe toxicity and are not well tolerated in the patient. Therefore, the major goal in anticancer drug discovery process is to discover and develop innovative therapies that exhibit a real improvement in effectiveness and/or tolerability. In cancer therapy, continuous effort has been made to explore the new targets. Cancer research is largely focused on prospective targets identified by basic science such as the oncogenic signal transduction pathway, oncogenes, tumor suppressor genes, and genes involved in the regulation of the cell cycle and apoptosis or programmed cell death (Gridelli et al., 2003; Hochhaus et al., 2004; Lau et al., 2011; Minna et al., 2004). Proteins mediating their effects are obvious targets for cancer therapy because, by definition, these proteins are involved in the primary transformation of normal cells. Proteins that transmit abnormal growth signals offer enticing points of intervention for the treatment of cancer. One potential target is the Ras family of proteins, which are mutationally activated in a wide range of human tumor types and are important contributors to the neoplastic phenotype (Barbacid et al., 1987; Biagi et al., 2010; Bollag et al., 1991; Bos et al., 1989).
Matrix-Dependent Mechanism of Neutrophil-Mediated Release and Activation of Matrix Metalloproteinase 9 in Myocardial Ischemia/Reperfusion (2001)

Infiltrating neutrophils are an early source of MMP-9 after reperfusion, and a portion of MMP-9 in the myocardium is active. Infiltrating neutrophils may localize MMP-9 activation by secreting MMP-9 and as a source of activating proteases.
Explore Image Deblurring via Blur Kernel Space (2021)

This paper introduces a method to encode the blur operators of an arbitrary dataset of sharp-blur image pairs into a blur kernel space. Assuming the encoded kernel space is close enough to in-the-wild blur operators, we propose an alternating optimization algorithm for blind image deblurring. It approximates an unseen blur operator by a kernel in the encoded space and searches for the corresponding sharp image. Unlike recent deep-learning-based methods, our system can handle unseen blur kernel, while avoiding using complicated handcrafted priors on the blur operator often found in classical methods. Due to the method's design, the encoded kernel space is fully differentiable, thus can be easily adopted in deep neural network models. Moreover, our method can be used for blur synthesis by transferring existing blur operators from a given dataset into a new domain. Finally, we provide experimental results to confirm the effectiveness of the proposed method.

Co-registration of Surfaces by 3D Least Squares Matching (2010)

A method for the automatic co-registration of 3D surfaces is presented. Die method utilizes the mathematical model of Least Squares 2D image matching and extends it for solving the 3D surface matching problem The transformation parameters of the search surfaces are estimated with respect to a template surface. The solution is achieved when the sum of the squares of the 3D Spatial (Euclidean) distances between the surfaces are minimized. The parameter estimation is achieved using the Generalized Gauss-Markov model. Execution level implementation details are given. Apart from the co-registration of the point clouds generated from spacaborne airborne and terrestinal sensors and techniques. the proposed method is also useful for change detection, 3D comparison, and quality assessment tasks Experiments, terrain data examples show file capabilities of the method
Feminist Theory and Social Policy or Why Is Welfare so Hard to Reform? (1985)

More than 10 years ago Henry Aaron wrote a classic paper entitled "Why Is Welfare So Hard to Reform?" (1973). This paper answers that question from the perspective of the new discipline of Women's Studies. The author suggests that the use of feminist theories; notably those of Hartsock and Chodorow; can further one's recognition and understanding of male bias in social policy development. Tracing the history of U.S. welfare policies for women and children the analysis provides explanations for the differential treatment of women in the welfare system and the failure of work strategies to increase poor women's economic independence. Flaws in proposals for welfare reform are discussed and some suggestions for the development of new models of policy analysis are made.
CXCL16 Functions as a Novel Chemotactic Factor for Prostate Cancer Cells <i>In vitro</i> (2008)

A variety of tumor cells produce chemokines that promote tumor cell proliferation and chemotaxis. We previously reported that CXCL16 production is increased in aggressive prostate cancer cells compared with the less aggressive tumor cells and benign cells as identified in a cytokine antibody array. The functional contribution of CXCL16 in prostate cancer development has not yet been evaluated. Accordingly, mRNA expression of CXCL16 and its receptor, CXCR6, were determined by real-time reverse transcription-PCR in various cancer cell lines, including prostate cancer and tissues obtained from localized and metastatic prostate cancer. Consistent with our finding on CXCL16 protein production by prostate cancer cells, aggressive prostate cancer C4-2B and PC3 cells, as well as bone and liver metastatic tissues, expressed higher levels of both CXCL16 and CXCR6 mRNA compared with the less aggressive prostate cancer LNCaP cells, nonneoplastic PrEC and RWPE-1 cells, and benign prostate tissues, respectively. Furthermore, CXCR6 and CXCL16 protein expressions were examined in tissue specimens by immunohistochemistry. Immunohistochemical examination of CXCR6 expression showed strong epithelial staining that correlated with Gleason score, whereas CXCL16 staining was not. Finally, we found that both interleukin-1beta and tumor necrosis factor alpha significantly induced CXCL16 production by prostate epithelial cells, thereby indicating that inflammatory cytokines may play a role in the CXCL16 induction. CXCL16 was found to promote prostate cancer cell migration and invasion in vitro. Therefore, we concluded that CXCL16 functions, through CXCR6, as a novel chemotactic factor for prostate cancer cells.
Lifestyle risk factors for lower limb venous reflux in the general population: Edinburgh Vein Study (2001)

This population study did not identify strong and consistent lifestyle risk factors for venous reflux although previous pregnancy, lower use of oral contraceptives, obesity and mobility at work in women and height and straining at stool in men may be implicated.
Test-Time Training with Self-Supervision for Generalization under Distribution Shifts (2019)

In this paper, we propose Test-Time Training, a general approach for improving the performance of predictive models when training and test data come from different distributions. We turn a single unlabeled test sample into a self-supervised learning problem, on which we update the model parameters before making a prediction. This also extends naturally to data in an online stream. Our simple approach leads to improvements on diverse image classification benchmarks aimed at evaluating robustness to distribution shifts.
High gradient magnetic capture of cells and ferritin-bound particles (1982)

The magnetic retention of biological cells is of interest as a convenient system in which essentially identical particles can be used to study HGMS and, conversely, as an area in which the HGMS technique can be applied to make biologically important cell separations. Previously, red blood cells have provided data which confirmed theoretical predictions concerning the dependence of particle capture on field, flow rate, particle magnetic susceptibility and diameter of wire in the magnetized matrix. In these experiments the technique has been extended to examine the retention of more weakly paramagnetic (ferritin-labelled) particles and the use of weaker magnetic fields. Latex particles with the iron storage protein ferritin attached and a 7 Tesla magnet have been used to model the expected HGMS capture of ferritin-labelled cells. Red cell retention in weak fields was demonstrated using .3 - .45 Tesla permanent magnet assemblies and stainless steel wire of three diameters. A decrease in HGMS capture efficiency for the finest wire was observed.
Enhanced FPGA-based architecture for regular expression matching in NIDS (2010)

Perl Compatible Regular Expression (PCRE) is increasingly used in Network Intrusion Detection System due to its efficiency. However, there are many issues that have not been completely solved for PCRE matching on hardware platform. In this paper, we propose an FPGA-based PCRE matching architecture that effectively improves the constraint repetition, an importance feature of PCRE. We enhance our architecture to handle m flag which is a powerful PCRE modifier. Besides, a tool-chain for auto-generating PCRE matching engine is also implemented. Our experimental results on low-cost Altera Cyclone II chip shows that our architecture can achieve throughput up to 1Gbps and save up to 92.74% hardware resource as compared with the conventional architecture.
The utility of heterogeneous swarms of simple uavs with limited sensory capacity in detection and tracking tasks (2005)

We present a physically realizable UAV model for locating and tracking chemical clouds. Simulation results are presented for implementations of this model with two configurations, one that is faster and requires more space to avoid collisions, and one that is slower and can cover an area more densely. Heterogeneous swarms of agents are shown to have better performance than homogeneous swarms of similar size because they take advantage of the strengths of each configuration.
EFFICACY OF TESTOSTERONE-FILLED POLYDIMETHYLSILOXANE IMPLANTS IN MAINTAINING PLASMA TESTOSTERONE IN RABBITS (1973)

Summary. Experiments were designed to examine the release of testosterone through polydimethylsiloxane (PDS) capsules in vitro and in situ and to test the efficacy of PDS capsules in maintaining testosterone in the peripheral circulation of castrate male rabbits for several months. The results demonstrate that (1) tritiated testosterone passed through PDS capsules suspended in water, (2) the tritiated material released into water had the same chromatographic mobility as authentic testosterone when subjected to thin-layer chromatography, (3) the rate of release of testosterone into water was dependent upon capsule surface area, (4) the release of testosterone from implants in situ was dependent upon surface area but independent of implantation site (i.e. subcutaneous versus intraperitoneal implants), and (5) the release of testosterone from PDS capsules in situ remained relatively constant over a span of 3 months. Castration abolished libido and caused accessory sex organ atrophy in male rabbits, but subcutaneous placement of testosterone-filled PDS implants (430 mm2, 0·245 mm thick) maintained these androgen-dependent characteristics at normal levels. The concentrations of seminal fructose, citric acid and plasma testosterone noted in castrate rabbits receiving testosterone implants in situ were virtually identical to those noted in intact rabbits receiving similar implants containing cholesterol for 3 months.
Potential biomarkers for differentiation of benign prostatic hyperplasia and prostate cancer (2010)

This study aims to evaluate the role of free/total prostate-specific antigen (PSA) ratio, serum total sialic acid level and cathepsin D activity in the differentiation of prostate cancer and benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). The study looked at 100 patients with BPH, 75 patients with organ-confined or locally advanced prostate cancer, and a control group of 50 healthy volunteers. Prostate cancer patients showed significantly higher total sialic acid level and cathepsin D activity and lower free/total PSA ratio than those in the BPH group. The results suggest that combined measurement of serum total sialic acid and/or cathepsin D activity with free/total PSA ratio could serve as a useful adjunct to conventional diagnostics for the differentiation of prostate cancer and BPH.
Implant damage evaluation using SPIDER (2002)

SPIDER (SEMATECH Process-Induced Damage Effect Revealer) is a test vehicle containing a variety of test structures for evaluation of electrical damage during integrated circuit manufacturing. Each of its test modules is designed to characterize damage from a specific process or sequential processes, such as implant and etch at different levels. The test modules used in this study consist of MOS transistors with each of their gates connected to a polysilicon rectangular antenna over field oxide. The area ratio of the polysilicon antenna to gate varies from 62,220:1 to 20:1. The test procedure is as follows. First basic parameters of MOS transistor are measured. Subsequently, the gate oxide is stressed by Fowler-Nordheim (F-N) stress at a constant current density of 5 nA/cm2. The same MOS transistor parameters are measured again, then retested; its oxide is stressed by a constant current density of 5 nA/cm2. Then the MOS transistor parameters are measured again. The FN stress reveals eventual latent damage passivated by annealing which always follows the damage causing process. The test devices were manufactured using a standard CMOS process.
Enhancement of thiazopyr bioefficacy by inhibitors of monooxygenases (1995)

Abstract The preceding paper described inhibition of thiazopyr metabolism in plant seedlings by inhibitors of cytochrome P450 monooxygenases, and the lack of inhibition by esterase inhibitors. We now describe greenhouse evaluation of the effects of these metabolic inhibitors on the bioefficacy of thiazopyr. Inhibitors of cytochrome P450 monooxygenases, piperonyl butoxide (PBO), 1‐aminobenzotriazole (ABT), metyrapone (MET) and tetcyclacis (TET), all enhanced the bioefficacy of thiazopyr against pigweed and other plant species. In contrast, inhibitors of esterases, tributyl phosphate (TBP) and triphenyl phosphate (TPP), produced only slight enhancement of thiazopyr activity. The effect of PBO was dose‐dependent and was demonstrated against barnyardgrass, grain sorghum, redroot pigweed, seedling johnsongrass, and giant foxtail. PBO demonstrated no enhancement of thiazopyr activity in velvetleaf, tall morningglory, cotton, or soybeans. Bioefficacy was most enhanced via exposure of seedling shoots to PBO and thiazopyr. The combination of results from the present and the preceding papers suggests that PBO enhances thiazopyr bioefficacy by effectively inhibiting thiazopyr metabolism in plants.
Anti-cyclic citrullinated peptide antibody in rheumatoid arthritis: relation with disease aggressiveness. (2006)

Prevalence of anti-CCP was higher among patients with higher activity. Patients with higher levels of anti-CCP antibody had more aggressive disease, with greater activity (elevated values in DAS 28 and CRP) and more severe radiological damage (more erosions and higher radiological damage, SENS).
Muscarinic Modulation of Cardiac Rate at Low Acetylcholine Concentrations (1989)

Slowing of cardiac pacemaking induced by cholinergic input is thought to arise from the opening of potassium channels caused by muscarinic receptor stimulation. In mammalian sinoatrial node cells, however, muscarinic stimulation also inhibits the hyperpolarization-activated current (If), which is involved in the generation of pacemaker activity and its acceleration by catecholamines. Acetylcholine at nanomolar concentrations inhibits If and slows spontaneous rate, whereas 20 times higher concentrations are required to activate the acetylcholine-dependent potassium current (IK,ACh). Thus, modulation of If, rather than IK,ACh, is the mechanism underlying the muscarinic control of cardiac pacing at low (nanomolar) acetylcholine concentrations.
Phytoene synthase from <i>Narcissus pseudonarcissus</i>: functional expression, galactolipid requirement, topological distribution in chromoplasts and induction during flowering (1996)

A cDNA coding for the carotenoid biosynthetic enzyme phytoene synthase was cloned from a Narcissus pseudonarcissus flower cDNA library, and the corresponding protein was overexpressed in insect cells using the baculovirus lipofection system. The full-length overexpressed enzyme exhibited very reduced catalytic activity compared with an overexpressed N-truncated form, with its transit sequence removed by site-directed mutagenesis. The shortened form readily bound quantitatively to lipid bilayers. Although it was active with liposomes prepared from plastid lipids, with phospholipid liposomes it was not, even though association took place. In this latter case, free galactose was capable of substituting for galactolipids, resulting in enzymatic activity. It is concluded that galactolipids are involved in catalytic activity, but do not serve as a membrane anchor. Antibodies raised against the recombinant enzyme made it possible to distinguish between a membrane-bound and a soluble, protein-complexed inactive form of phytoene synthase, present in the chromoplast stroma. These findings and data on phytoene synthase mRNA and protein expression presented here are discussed in terms of a possible regulatory role in color formation during chromoplast (flower) development.
