Rising Thyroid Cancer Incidence in the United States by Demographic and Tumor Characteristics, 1980-2005 (2009)

Thyroid cancer incidence has been rising in the United States, and this trend has often been attributed to heightened medical surveillance and the use of improved diagnostics. Thyroid cancer incidence varies by sex and race/ethnicity, and these factors also influence access to and utilization of healthcare. We therefore examined thyroid cancer incidence rates by demographic and tumor characteristics based on 48,403 thyroid cancer patients diagnosed during 1980-2005 from the Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Results program of the National Cancer Institute. The rates varied by histologic type, sex, and race/ethnicity. Papillary carcinoma was the only histologic type for which incidence rates increased consistently among all racial/ethnic groups. Subsequent analyses focused on the 39,706 papillary thyroid cancers diagnosed during this period. Papillary carcinoma rates increased most rapidly among females. Between 1992-1995 and 2003-2005, they increased nearly 100% among White non-Hispanics and Black females but only 20% to 50% among White Hispanics, Asian/Pacific Islanders, and Black males. The increases were most rapid for localized stage and small tumors; however, rates also increased for large tumors and tumors of regional and distant stage. Since 1992-1995, half the overall increase in papillary carcinoma rates was due to increasing rates of very small (<or=1.0 cm) cancers, 30% to cancers 1.1 to 2 cm, and 20% to cancers>2 cm. Among White females, the rate of increase for cancers>5 cm almost equaled that for the smallest cancers. Medical surveillance and more sensitive diagnostic procedures cannot completely explain the observed increases in papillary thyroid cancer rates. Thus, other possible explanations should be explored.
Switchable Composite Right/Left-Handed (S-CRLH) Transmission Line Using MEMS Switches (2009)

This letter presents a novel switchable composite right/left-handed (S-CRLH) metamaterial transmission line (TL) using MEMS switches. The proposed TL is based on a general CRLH TL with switchable capacitors and switchable shunt inductive stubs. The LH mode of the S-CRLH TL ranges from 7.5 GHz to 10.4 GHz. In these frequencies, the S-CRLH TL is able to switch from a negative phase response (phase lag) to a positive phase response (phase lead), or vice versa. This phase modulation can be obtained through a voltage, due to the use of MEMS switches. The size of the fabricated S-CRLH TL, including bias networks, is 4941 mum times 2076 mum and is compact thanks to the LH mode.
The Mit Deliberatorium - Enabling Large-scale Deliberation about Complex Systemic Problems. (2011)

Humanity now finds itself faced with a range of highly complex problems - such as climate change, the spread of disease, international security, scientific collaborations, product development, and so on - that call upon us to bring together large numbers of experts and stakeholders to deliberate collectively on a global scale. Collocated meetings can however be impractically expensive, severely limit the concurrency and thus breadth of interaction, and are prone to serious dysfunctions such as polarization and hidden profiles. Social media such as email, blogs, wikis, chat rooms, and web forums provide unprecedented opportunities for interacting on a massive scale, but have yet to realize their potential for helping people deliberate effectively, typically generating poorly-organized, unsystematic and highly redundant contributions of widely varying quality. Large-scale argumentation systems represent a promising approach for addressing these challenges, by virtue of providing a simple systematic structure that radically reduces redundancy and encourages clarity. This paper will address this important question, discussing (1) the strengths and limitations of current deliberation technologies, and (2) how large-scale argumentation can help address these limitations.
Dynamics of rapid vertical climbing in cockroaches reveals a template (2006)

Rapid, vertically climbing cockroaches produced climbing dynamics similar to geckos, despite differences in attachment mechanism, ;foot or toe' morphology and leg number. Given the common pattern in such diverse species, we propose the first template for the dynamics of rapid, legged climbing analogous to the spring-loaded, inverted pendulum used to characterize level running in a diversity of pedestrians. We measured single leg wall reaction forces and center of mass dynamics in death-head cockroaches Blaberus discoidalis, as they ascended a three-axis force plate oriented vertically and coated with glass beads to aid attachment. Cockroaches used an alternating tripod gait during climbs at 19.5+/-4.2 cm s(-1), approximately 5 body lengths s(-1). Single-leg force patterns differed significantly from level running. During vertical climbing, all legs generated forces to pull the animal up the plate. Front and middle legs pulled laterally toward the midline. Front legs pulled the head toward the wall, while hind legs pushed the abdomen away. These single-leg force patterns summed to generate dynamics of the whole animal in the frontal plane such that the center of mass cyclically accelerated up the wall in synchrony with cyclical side-to-side motion that resulted from alternating net lateral pulling forces. The general force patterns used by cockroaches and geckos have provided biological inspiration for the design of a climbing robot named RiSE (Robots in Scansorial Environments).

Resonance of human brain under head acceleration (2015)

Although safety standards have reduced fatal head trauma due to single severe head impacts, mild trauma from repeated head exposures may carry risks of long-term chronic changes in the brain's function and structure. To study the physical sensitivities of the brain to mild head impacts, we developed the first dynamic model of the skull-brain based on in vivo MRI data. We showed that the motion of the brain can be described by a rigid-body with constrained kinematics. We further demonstrated that skull-brain dynamics can be approximated by an under-damped system with a low-frequency resonance at around 15 Hz. Furthermore, from our previous field measurements, we found that head motions in a variety of activities, including contact sports, show a primary frequency of less than 20 Hz. This implies that typical head exposures may drive the brain dangerously close to its mechanical resonance and lead to amplified brain-skull relative motions. Our results suggest a possible cause for mild brain trauma, which could occur due to repetitive low-acceleration head oscillations in a variety of recreational and occupational activities.
A Systematic Review of Cognitive Predictors of Treatment Outcome in Major Depression (2018)

<b>Background:</b> Research suggests that only 50% of patients with major depression respond to psychotherapy or pharmacological treatment, and relapse is common. Therefore, there is interest in elucidating factors that help predict clinical response. Cognitive impairment is a key feature of depression, which often persists beyond remission; thus, the aim of this systematic review was to determine whether baseline cognitive functioning can predict treatment outcomes in individuals with depression. <b>Method:</b> Studies examining cognitive predictors of treatment response in depression were identified using Pub Med and Web of Science databases. Given the heterogeneity of outcome measures, the variety of treatment protocols, and the differing ways in which data was presented and analyzed, a narrative rather than meta-analytic review technique was used. <b>Results:</b> 39 studies met inclusion criteria. Findings in younger adult samples were inconclusive. There was some evidence for a predictive effect of executive function and to a lesser extent, psychomotor speed, on treatment response. There was no evidence of learning or memory being associated with treatment response. In older-aged samples, the evidence was much more consistent, suggesting that poor executive function predicts poor response to SSRIs. <b>Conclusions:</b> Findings from the present review suggest that certain aspects of cognitive functioning, particularly executive function, may be useful in predicting treatment response in depression. This is certainly the case in elderly samples, with evidence suggesting that poor executive functioning predicts poor response to SSRIs. With further research, baseline cognitive functioning may serve as a factor which helps guide clinical decision making. Moreover, cognitive deficits may become targets for specific pharmacological or psychological treatments, with the hope of improving overall outcome.
Living Carbocationic Polymerization. XXIII. Analysis of Slow Initiation in Living Isobutylene Polymerization (1989)

Abstract The aim of this research was to develop a quantitative treatment of the consequences of relatively slow initiation on M n and N (the number of molecules formed, Wp/M n , where Wp =weight of polymer formed) in living carbocationic polymerizations, particularly for the case of the incremental monomer addition (IMA) technique. This has been achieved by analysis of the effect of initiator efficiency (Ieff (%) = 100N/[I 0], where [I 0] = initiator input) on M n versus Wp , and N versus Wp plots. Three types of systems have been discerned: 1) Ieff equal to 100%; 2) Ieff constant but less than 100%; and 3) Ieff less than 100% but increasing with increasing number of monomer increments j by the IMA technique. Thus conditions can be found under which slowly initiating systems yield close to “ideal” product, i.e., one with M n = [M0 ]/[I0 ] and narrow molecular weight distribution (M w /M n ≈ 1.1). The corresponding equations and plots can be used to diagnose the mechanism. Subsequently, this quantitative analysis was used to describe a novel living system, trans‐2,5‐diacetoxy‐2,5‐dimethyl‐3‐hexene (DiOAcDMH6)/BCI3/isobutylene/CH3CI. This system produces linear t‐chlorine‐telechelic polyisobutylenes under homogeneous conditions. Surprisingly, cationation seems to be rate determining. This conclusion is illustrated by chemical equations.
Context-aware address translation for high performance SMP cluster system (2008)

User-level communication allows an application process to access the network interface directly. Bypassing the kernel requires that a user process accesses the network interface using its own virtual address which should be translated to a physical address. A small caching structure which is similar to the hardware TLB on the host processor has been used to cache the mappings between virtual and physical addresses on the network interface memory. In this study, we propose a new TLB architecture for the network interface. The proposed architecture splits an original caching structure into as many partitions as the number of processors on the SMP system and assigns a separate partition to each application process. In addition, the architecture becomes aware of user contexts and switches the content of caching structure in accordance with context switching. According to our experiments, our scheme achieves significant reduction in application execution time compared to the previous approach.
Identification of a Novel Splice Variant Form of the Influenza A Virus M2 Ion Channel with an Antigenically Distinct Ectodomain (2012)

Segment 7 of influenza A virus produces up to four mRNAs. Unspliced transcripts encode M1, spliced mRNA2 encodes the M2 ion channel, while protein products from spliced mRNAs 3 and 4 have not previously been identified. The M2 protein plays important roles in virus entry and assembly, and is a target for antiviral drugs and vaccination. Surprisingly, M2 is not essential for virus replication in a laboratory setting, although its loss attenuates the virus. To better understand how IAV might replicate without M2, we studied the reversion mechanism of an M2-null virus. Serial passage of a virus lacking the mRNA2 splice donor site identified a single nucleotide pseudoreverting mutation, which restored growth in cell culture and virulence in mice by upregulating mRNA4 synthesis rather than by reinstating mRNA2 production. We show that mRNA4 encodes a novel M2-related protein (designated M42) with an antigenically distinct ectodomain that can functionally replace M2 despite showing clear differences in intracellular localisation, being largely retained in the Golgi compartment. We also show that the expression of two distinct ion channel proteins is not unique to laboratory-adapted viruses but, most notably, was also a feature of the 1983 North American outbreak of H5N2 highly pathogenic avian influenza virus. In identifying a 14th influenza A polypeptide, our data reinforce the unexpectedly high coding capacity of the viral genome and have implications for virus evolution, as well as for understanding the role of M2 in the virus life cycle.
The Miliolida (1981)

The end of the Palaeozoic and the beginning of the Mesozoic were times of great faunal change and renewal, illustrated very well by changes in the Foraminifera. The large fusulinaceans became extinct during the final stage of the Permian and by the end of the period all the other members of the order (apart from some problematical endothyrids) apparently disappeared, being replaced during the early Mesozoic by porcelaneous and hyaline groups.
Development of channel waveguide lasers in Nd3+-doped chalcogenide (Ga:La:S) glass through photoinduced material modification (2002)

We report the development of a waveguide laser source in a neodymium-doped chalcogenide (Ga:La:S) glass. Channel waveguide structures were directly written via above band gap (λ=244 nm) illumination provided by a focused UV-laser beam with fluencies 1.5–150 J/cm2. Effects of photoinduced material modification in the form of surface compaction and photodensification were evident. Characterization revealed a low threshold waveguide laser with emission at 1075 nm and slope efficiency of 17%. The active device was spatially single mode and exhibited laser operation with 8.6 mW peak power and attenuation &lt;0.5 dB cm−1.
Microstructure evolution during spark plasma sintering of FJS‐1 lunar soil simulant (2019)

Abstract A spark plasma sintering (SPS) process has been explored to densify FJS‐lunar soil simulants for structural applications in space explorations. The effect of SPS conditions, such as temperature and pressure, on the densification behavior, phase transformation, microstructural evolution, and mechanical properties of FJS‐1 have been examined by conducting the X‐ray diffraction analysis, electron microscopy imaging, and nano/micro indentation testing. Test analysis results were also compared to results from the FJS‐1 powder and sintered samples without pressure. The FJS‐1 powder was composed of sodian anorthite, augite, pigeonite, and iron titanium oxide. When FJS‐lunar soil simulants were sintered without pressure, the main phase evolved from sodian anorthite to the intermediate sodian anorthite, jadeite and glass, and iron titanium oxide at 1000°C, which were further transformed into filiform and feather‐shaped augite and schorlomite at 1100°C. Most densification processes in pressureless sintering occurred at 1050°C‐1100°C. During the SPS process, the main phases were sodian anorthite, pigeonite, and iron titanium oxide at 900°C. These phases were transformed to sodian anorthite, glass, and feather‐shaped augite at 1000°C and 1050°C, with the nucleation of dendritic schorlomite at 1050°C. Significant densification by SPS can be observed as low as 900°C, which indicates that the application of pressure can substantially lower the sintering temperature. The SPSed samples showed higher Vickers microhardness than the pressureless sintered samples. The mechanical properties of the local phases were represented by the contour maps of elastic modulus and nanohardness. Multiscale mechanical test results along with the microstructural characteristics further imply that the SPS can be considered a promising in‐situ resource utilization (ISRU) method to densify lunar soils.
Ajulemic acid: potential treatment for chronic inflammation (2018)

Ajulemic acid (AJA, CT-3, IP-751, JBT-101, anabasum) is a first-in-class, synthetic, orally active, cannabinoid-derived drug that preferentially binds to the CB2 receptor and is nonpsychoactive. In preclinical studies, and in Phase 1 and 2 clinical trials, AJA showed a favorable safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetic profile. It also demonstrated significant efficacy in preclinical models of inflammation and fibrosis. It suppresses tissue scarring and stimulates endogenous eicosanoids that resolve chronic inflammation and fibrosis without causing immunosuppression. AJA is currently being developed for use in 4 separate but related indications including systemic sclerosis (SSc), cystic fibrosis, dermatomyositis (DM), and systemic lupus erythematosus. Phase 2 clinical trials in the first 3 targets demonstrated that it is safe, is a potential treatment for these orphan diseases and appears to be a potent inflammation-resolving drug with a unique mechanism of action, distinct from the nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), and will be useful for treating a wide range of chronic inflammatory diseases. It may be considered to be a disease-modifying drug unlike most NSAIDs that only provide symptomatic relief. AJA is currently being evaluated in 24-month open-label extension studies in SSc and in skin-predominant DM. A Phase 3 multicenter trial to demonstrate safety and efficacy in SSc has recently been initiated.
Wafer-scale micro-optics replication technology (2003)

For many high-volume applications of micro-optical elements and systems the most cost-effective fabrication technology is replication in polymer materials with techniques such as UV embossing, hot embossing, and injection molding. Replication significantly reduces the cost in volume production in comparison to silicon-based etched components. However, the temperature and humidity stability of most commercial polymers is not suitable for the application of replicated elements in areas such as telecom or datacom. A process based on UV-replication in chemically durable polymers has been developed. Technologies for all fabrication steps from mastering over tooling to replication on wafer-scale, post-processing and characterization are described. We present results of various projects with double-sided micro-optics for telecom/datacom and various sensor applications.
