CONTACT LENS FILTER FOR MACULAR PHOTOCOAGULATION WITH MONOCHROMATIC GREEN ARGON LASER (1986)

Safer and more effective macular photocoagulation can be performed with monochromatic green light, thereby avoiding the energy absorption by the xanthophyll pigment in the inner retina in the blue portion (488 nm line) of the argon laser radiation. While an appropriate laser filter has been built into commercially available laser systems to provide a "green-only option," a contact lens filter which provides monochromatic green energy with a standard argon laser delivery system has been evaluated. The filter requires twice as much laser energy output from the laser, and may allow higher levels of energy to reflect off the filter towards observers.
Human Visfatin Expression: Relationship to Insulin Sensitivity, Intramyocellular Lipids, and Inflammation (2006)

SAT VF is highly expressed in lean, more insulin-sensitive subjects and is attenuated in subjects with high IMCL, low S(I), and high levels of inflammatory markers. VAT VF and SAT VF are regulated oppositely with BMI.
Photochemical Modification of Diamond Surfaces (1996)

Photochemical and thermal surface modifications of diamond powders and (100), (110), and (111) oriented single crystals were achieved. Clean, hydrogen-terminated diamond was chlorinated by heating in Cl2(g) or by UV irradiation in Cl2(g). The surface chlorine titer was shown to correlate with the dangling bond density on the single-crystal faces. Aminated diamond was produced by irradiating the chlorinated diamond in NH3(g). Surface nitrogen loading correlated with the dangling bond density. The structural features of the amine-terminated surface led to a decrease in the vibrational frequencies of the surface amine groups.
Gene Insertion: Current Progress and Long-Term Goals (1986)

The methods for artificial gene insertion in the germline of the fly Drosophila and mice are now well established. In mice, cloned genes or retroviruses can be inserted by manipulation of newly fertilized ova, and intensive research is aimed at understanding the basis for regulation of gene expression using this technique. Manipulation of early embryos in the chicken is much more difficult. Therefore, we are concentrating on the use of avian retroviruses as vectors for gene insertion in this species. Some candidate genes are those controlling resistance to specific disease agents, those regulating humoral and cell-mediated immunity, and genes for immunogens that could be regulated to be expressed only after the development of immune competence, thus becoming an inherited vaccine. Basic research in these areas should lead to methods that will complement standard genetic selection for increased disease resistance in commercial chickens.
Rapid Method for Determination of Milk Casein Content by Infrared Analysis (1987)

Preliminary work was to develop a method for determination of milk casein content using commercially available infrared milk testing equipment. Fresh whole milk samples were split into two portions. One portion was tested for total protein with an infrared milk analyzer. The other portion was adjusted to pH 4.6 with a specific volume and concentration of phosphoric acid. Milk casein precipitated at pH 4.6 and was removed by filtration. Next, the noncasein protein filtrate was tested for protein content using an infrared milk analyzer. The difference between the percent protein of the original milk sample and the percent protein of the noncasein protein filtrate equals the percent milk casein. The infrared casein determination for 36 different individual herd milk samples was not significantly different from results obtained by the official International Dairy Federation casein testing method. The infrared method is faster than the chemical method and could be done with infrared milk testing equipment that is commonly available in many cheese manufacturing plants. Repeatability of the infrared method was comparable to the repeatability of the chemical method.
Enhanced dielectric properties of modified Ta<sub>2</sub>O<sub>5</sub> thin films (1999)

Tantalum oxide (Ta2O5) is a promising high dielectric constant material for the DRAM applications because of its ease of integration compared to other complex oxide dielectrics. The dielectric constant and thermal stability characteristics of bulk Ta2O5 samples were reported to enhance significantly through small substitutions of Al2O3. However, this improvement in the dielectric constant of (1-x)Ta2O5-xAl2O3 is not clearly understood. The present research attempts to explain the higher dielectric constant of (1-x)Ta2O5-xAl2O3 by fabricating thin films with enhanced dielectric properties. A higher dielectric constant of 42.8 was obtained for 0.9Ta2O5-0.1Al2O3 thin films compared to that reported for pure Ta2O5 (25–30). This increase was shown to be closely related to a-axis orientation. Pure Ta2O5 thin films with similar a-axis orientation also exhibited a high dielectric constant of 51.7, thus confirming the orientation effect. The leakage current properties and the reliability characteristics were also found to be improved with Al2O3 addition.
An investigation of the plasma jet as an underwater acoustic source (1990)

The plasma jet, a commonly used ignition device, has been investigated as a source of acoustic energy suitable for sub-bottom profiling. Named the plasma gun, the device discharges electrical energy in a cylindrical arc ignited in a gaseous environment surrounded by water. When the arc energy evaporates water, it produces a rapidly expanding vapor bubble that creates the acoustic pressure wave.\n\nAcoustic properties of the device are similar to small explosives, and to electric sparkers. Multiple bubble oscillations, a problem of explosive-type sources, are generally less troublesome for the plasma gun than with the sparker sources. Some degree of frequency control of the acoustic pulse is possible if proper values are selected for the electrical circuit components and for the total stored electrical energy. Peak acoustic pressures are controlled both by the total electric energy and by the rate it is delivered to the arc. These quantities are determined by capacitance, inductance, and charging voltage. Frequency components of the primary pressure pulse depend on the arc discharge frequency and on the immersion depth of the device. The bubble period depends primarily on the amount of energy discharged into the water; this in turn is proportional to the total stored electrical energy.\n\nThe plasma gun has been compared to small air guns, pingers, sparkers, and boomers. Sub-bottom profiles obtained show penetration less than the 1 in3 air gun but with more resolution. Stored energy in the plasma gun, however, was nearly five times less. Penetration was equal and resolution better than electric sparkers of the same energy. Penetration was better and resolution poorer than the pinger, and resolution poorer and penetration slightly better than the boomer source. Except for the sparkers, which used the same power supply, the plasma gun has a decided advantage in equipment size and ease of deployment.
ENs are entitled to get degrading abuse (1993)

One of the reasons why enrolled nurses continue to be abused, as highlighted in your letters columns, is that we continue to refer to them by the title ‘enrolled’ nurses.
Using Attribute Oriented Induction High Level Emerging Pattern (AOI-HEP) to Mine Frequent Patterns (2016)

<p><span lang="EN-US">Frequent patterns in Attribute Oriented Induction High level Emerging Pattern (AOI-HEP), are recognized when have maximum subsumption target (superset) into contrasting (subset) datasets (contrasting </span><span lang="EN-US">⊂</span><span lang="EN-US"> target) and having large High Emerging Pattern (HEP) growth rate and support in target dataset. HEP Frequent patterns had been successful mined with AOI-HEP upon 4 UCI machine learning datasets such as adult, breast cancer, census and IPUMS with the number of instances of 48842, 569, 2458285 and 256932 respectively and each dataset has concept hierarchies built from its five chosen attributes. There are 2 and 1 finding frequent patterns from adult and breast cancer datasets, while there is no frequent pattern from census and IPUMS datasets. The finding HEP frequent patterns from adult dataset are adult which have government workclass with an intermediate education (80.53%) and America as native country(33%). Meanwhile, the only 1 HEP frequent pattern from breast cancer dataset is breast cancer which have clump thickness type of AboutAverClump with cell size of VeryLargeSize(3.56%). Finding HEP frequent patterns with AOI-HEP are influenced by learning on high level concept in one of chosen attribute and extended experiment upon adult dataset where learn on marital-status attribute showed that there is no finding frequent pattern.</span></p>
A Rapid Cloning Method Employing Orthogonal End Protection (2012)

We describe a novel in vitro cloning strategy that combines standard tools in molecular biology with a basic protecting group concept to create a versatile framework for the rapid and seamless assembly of modular DNA building blocks into functional open reading frames. Analogous to chemical synthesis strategies, our assembly design yields idempotent composite synthons amenable to iterative and recursive split-and-pool reaction cycles. As an example, we illustrate the simplicity, versatility and efficiency of the approach by constructing an open reading frame composed of tandem arrays of a human fibronectin type III (FNIII) domain and the von Willebrand Factor A2 domain (VWFA2), as well as chimeric (FNIII)(n)-VWFA2-(FNIII)(n) constructs. Although we primarily designed this strategy to accelerate assembly of repetitive constructs for single-molecule force spectroscopy, we anticipate that this approach is equally applicable to the reconstitution and modification of complex modular sequences including structural and functional analysis of multi-domain proteins, synthetic biology or the modular construction of episomal vectors.
[Combined spinal and epidural analgesia for caesarean section]. (1993)

We compared the combined spinal and thoracic epidural analgesia with 2% lidocaine for caesarean section, with spinal analgesia using 2% lidocaine, tetracaine or dibucaine, and also with lumbar epidural analgesia. The analgesia at high thoracic level could be achieved with combined spinal and epidural analgesia more easily than with others. The frequency of side effects with the combined spinal and epidural analgesia, such as hypotension, decrease of fetal heart rate and so on, was less than that with others. In conclusion, the combined spinal and thoracic epidural analgesia with 2% lidocaine is more useful for caesarean section, than the spinal analgesia or the lumbar epidural analgesia alone.
Hybrid application to accelerate wind field calculation (2016)

Wind field calculation is a crucial point in predicting forest fire evolution in real emergencies. Such wind field calculation involves complex models that must be solved in a very short time to accomplish the real-time constraints of forest fire propagation prediction. However, when the terrain map under consideration is large (for example, 30 km × 30 km) and the resolution is high (for example, 30 m), the time incurred by wind field calculation makes its use unfeasible in real emergencies. To accelerate the wind field calculation, several approaches have been studied (map partitioning, domain decomposition and matrix storage). The results are quite significant, but in large cases, the execution time does not meet the expected objectives. Therefore, a new approach, integrating all the previous work, has been designed, and a hybrid MPI-OpenMP version of WindNinja has been implemented. This hybrid application exploits different sources of parallelism to reduce execution time without introducing a significant loss of accuracy in wind field calculation. The results obtained with different terrain maps show that the execution time is reduced to below an established limit of 100 s.
Receptor-activated Ca2+ Influx via Human Trp3 Stably Expressed in Human Embryonic Kidney (HEK)293 Cells (1998)

Ca2+ release from its internal stores as a result of activation of phospholipase C is accompanied by Ca2+ influx from the extracellular space. Ca2+ influx channels may be formed of proteins homologous to Drosophila Trp. At least six non-allelic Trp genes are present in the mouse genome. Full-length human, bovine, mouse, and rat cDNAs for Trp1, 3, 4, 6 have been cloned. Expression of these genes in various mammalian cells has provided evidence that Trp proteins form plasma membrane Ca2+-permeant channels that can be activated by an agonist that activates phospholipase C, by inositol 1,4, 5-trisphosphate, and/or store depletion. We have stably expressed human Trp3 (hTrp3) in human embryonic kidney (HEK)293 cells. Measurement of intracellular Ca2+ concentrations in Fura2-loaded cells showed that cell lines expressing hTrp3 have significantly higher basal and agonist-stimulated influxes of Ca2+, Mn2+, Ba2+, and Sr2+ than control cells. The increase in Ca2+ entry attributable to the expression of hTrp3 obtained upon store depletion by thapsigargin was much lower than that obtained by stimulation with agonists acting via a Gq-coupled receptor. Addition of agonists to thapsigargin-treated Trp3 cells resulted in a further increase in the entry of divalent cations. The increased cation entry in Trp3 cells was blocked by high concentrations of SKF 96365, verapamil, La3+, Ni2+, and Gd3+. The Trp3-mediated Ca2+ influx activated by agonists was inhibited by a phospholipase C inhibitor, U73122. We propose that expression of hTrp3 in these cells forms a non-selective cation channel that opens after the activation of phospholipase C but not after store depletion. In addition, a subpopulation of the expressed hTrp3 may form heteromultimeric channels with endogenous proteins that are sensitive to store depletion.

Evaluation of Organic Acids and Other Compounds as Salmonella Antagonists in Meat and Bone Meal (1979)

Twelve compounds were evaluated as salmonella antagonists in commercial meat and bone meal. The test organism was a nalidixic acid-resistant strain of Salmonella infantis. Adequate moisture to support salmonella growth was assured by the addition of 40% water to each 50 g test sample. Compounds were tested at levels permitted for food additives except formalin which has not been approved. Salmonella counts were determined every few days by spread plates and the pH was recorded from the initial 1:10 dilution. Although the salmonella population initially declined in the presence of several additives, none of the compounds were effective in preventing salmonella multiplication in the MBM except formalin at levels greater than .1%.
Phase-field model for isothermal phase transitions in binary alloys (1992)

In this paper we present a phase-field model to describe isothermal phase transitions between ideal binary-alloy liquid and solid phases. Governing equations are developed for the temporal and spatial variation of the phase field, which identifies the local state or phase, and for the composition. An asymptotic analysis as the gradient energy coefficient of the phase field becomes small shows that our model recovers classical sharp-interface models of alloy solidification when the interfacial layers are thin, and we relate the parameters appearing in the phase-field model to material and growth parameters in real systems. We identify three stages of temporal evolution for the governing equations: the first corresponds to interfacial genesis, which occurs very rapidly; the second to interfacial motion controlled by diffusion and the local energy difference across the interface; the last takes place on a long time scale in which curvature effects are important, and corresponds to Ostwald ripening. We also present results of numerical calculations.
Resource Allocation and User Grouping for Sum Rate and Fairness Optimization in NOMA and IoT (2018)

In this paper, we present the joint optimization of sum rate and fairness for contention based uplink multiple access with non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) communication system by resource allocation and user grouping. In particular, we study the cases of many users sharing the same resources that address application of the the internet of things (IoT). The key feature of contention based multiple access is to serve multiple users at the same time and frequency. With different power levels and user grouping, it can achieve better spectral efficiency over conventional orthogonal multiple access (OMA). However, unlike the OMA system, NOMA results in additional inter-user interference (IUI). It has also been shown that, without proper resource allocation for users in the uplink NOMA, the weak users can always be in outage. In this work, we have developed algorithms on subbands assignment, user grouping, and power allocation for joint optimization of sum rate and fairness. The algorithm allocates resources iteratively to handle the IUI in each iteration. Given a number of N <sub xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">s</sub> subbands allocation to each user, we could prevent starvation of poor users, e.g. cell edge users. We have also compare and analyze the sum rate and fairness performance with different combination of L and N <sub xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">s</sub> . We also find that, by properly limiting the maximum number of subbands each user can use, the system could better exploit multi-user diversity to improve the sum rate and hence the energy efficiency. The numerical simulations are also conducted to verify the results.
Macrophage inflammatory protein-2: Chromosomal regulation in rat small intestinal epithelial cells (1997)

Nonpathogenic, resident bacteria participate in the pathogenesis of inflammation in the small intestine, but the molecular messages produced by such bacteria are unknown. Inflammatory responses involve the recruitment of specific leukocyte subsets. We, therefore, hypothesized that butyrate, a normal bacterial metabolite, may modulate chemokine secretion by epithelial cells, by amplifying their response to proinflammatory signals. We studied the expression of the chemokine, macrophage inflammatory protein-2 (MIP-2) by the rat small intestinal epithelial cell line, IEC-6. Cells were stimulated with lipopolysaccharide or with interleukin 1beta (IL-1beta) and incubated with sodium butyrate. Acetylation of histones was examined in Triton X acetic acid-urea gels by PAGE. Unstimulated IEC-6 cells did not secrete MIP-2. However, lipopolysaccharide and IL-1beta induced MIP-2 expression. Butyrate enhanced MIP-2 secretion both in lipopolysaccharide-stimulated and IL-1beta-stimulated enterocytes; but butyrate alone did not induce MIP-2 expression. Butyrate increased the acetylation of histones extracted from the nuclei of IEC-6 cells. Furthermore, acetylation of histones (induced by trichostatin A, a specific inhibitor of histone deacetylase) enhanced MIP-2 expression by cells stimulated with IL-1beta. In conclusion, trichostatin A reproduced the effects of butyrate on MIP-2 secretion. Butyrate, therefore, increases MIP-2 secretion in stimulated cells by increasing histone acetylation. We speculate that butyrate carries information from bacteria to epithelial cells. Epithelial cells transduce this signal through histone deacetylase, modulating the secretion of chemokines.
Gas Hydrate Single-Crystal Structure Analyses (2004)

The first single-crystal diffraction studies on methane, propane, methane/propane, and adamantane gas hydrates SI, SII, and SH have been performed. To circumvent the problem of very slow crystal growth, a novel technique of in situ cocrystallization of gases and liquids resulting in oligocrystalline material in a capillary has been developed. With special data treatment, termed oligo diffractometry, structural data of the gas hydrates of methane, acetylene, propane, a propane/ethanol/methane-mixture and an adamantane/methane-mixture were obtained. Cell parameters are in accord with reported values. Host network and guest are subject to extensive disorder, reducing the reliability of structural information. It was found that most cages are fully occupied by a guest molecule with the exception of the dodecahedral cage in the acetylene hydrate which is only filled to 60%. For adamantane in the icosahedral cage a disordered model is proposed.

Esophageal Temperature During Radiofrequency‐Catheter Ablation of Left Atrium: A Three‐Dimensional Computer Modeling Study (2006)

Computer results suggest that (1) the electrode-esophagus distance is the most important anatomic factor; (2) the incorrect positioning of an esophageal temperature probe could give a low reading for the maximum temperature reached in the esophagus; and (3) the different cooling effect of the circulating blood flow at different atrial sites has little impact on the esophageal temperature rise.
A Nucleophilic Fe Catalyst for Transesterifications under Neutral Conditions (2007)

Carboxylic esters belong to the most important functional groups in organic chemistry. Strong efforts have been made in developing mild catalytic procedures for their preparation. Among the various methods developed to date, transesterifications have occupied an important space. In the present paper, a new catalytic method for this process based on the use of nucleophilic Fe(-II) complexes is presented. Evidence for the formation of an intermediate acyl Fe complex will be presented as well as investigations on scope and limitations.
