Local Disk Depot - Customizing the Software Environment. (1993)

The depot model, developed at Carnegie Mellon University, provides a method for managing third-party and locally developed software. depot uses an object-oriented approach to managing software; each software package is managed as one or more logical objects. Yet, from the perspective of a user, the multiple ‘‘software objects’’ appear as a single, integrated, software environment. Local disk depot (ldd) is an extension to the depot framework. ldd facilitates the management of environments that ‘‘inherit’’ software from the ‘‘master’’ software environments. The inherited software environment is formed by taking software and configuration information from the master software environments, and integrating that with local software and configuration information. The most common use of ldd is to have an inherited environment on the local disk of a workstation. This allows the workstation administrator to locally cache software in order to improve performance and availability of critical software in the event of server or network failure. The inherited environments, however, can be used for more than saving local copies of remote software. Workstation administrators can introduce customizations to the software environment, as well as add additional software, even from other software environments. Developers can easily test new or updated applications on their own machines in an environment that is otherwise identical to the released environment.
Abnormal C5-Bound N-Heterocyclic Carbenes:  Extremely Strong Electron Donor Ligands and Their Iridium(I) and Iridium(III) Complexes (2004)

Imidazolium salts are found to bind abnormally via C5 to iridium(I) and iridium(III) to give air-stable monodentate N-heterocyclic carbene complexes. Abnormal ligand binding was verified by X-ray diffraction in both Ir(I) and Ir(III) complexes. In the case of Ir(I), it is necessary to block the C2 and C4 positions to form a stable sterically protected C5-bound complex. Infrared spectroscopy on carbonyl derivatives indicates that abnormally bound N-heterocyclic carbenes are much stronger electron donors than their ubiquitous C2-bound counterparts. The Tolman electronic parameter for 1-isopropyl-2,4-diphenyl-3-methylimidazolin-5-ylidene is 2039 cm-1, compared to ca. 2050 cm-1 for typical NHCs.

N-Cadherin Promotes Motility in Human Breast Cancer Cells Regardless of Their E-Cadherin Expression (1999)

E-cadherin is a transmembrane glycoprotein that mediates calcium-dependent, homotypic cell-cell adhesion and plays a role in maintaining the normal phenotype of epithelial cells. Decreased expression of E-cadherin has been correlated with increased invasiveness of breast cancer. In other systems, inappropriate expression of a nonepithelial cadherin, such as N-cadherin, by an epithelial cell has been shown to downregulate E-cadherin expression and to contribute to a scattered phenotype. In this study, we explored the possibility that expression of nonepithelial cadherins may be correlated with increased motility and invasion in breast cancer cells. We show that N-cadherin promotes motility and invasion; that decreased expression of E-cadherin does not necessarily correlate with motility or invasion; that N-cadherin expression correlates both with invasion and motility, and likely plays a direct role in promoting motility; that forced expression of E-cadherin in invasive, N-cadherin-positive cells does not reduce their motility or invasive capacity; that forced expression of N-cadherin in noninvasive, E-cadherin-positive cells produces an invasive cell, even though these cells continue to express high levels of E-cadherin; that N-cadherin-dependent motility may be mediated by FGF receptor signaling; and that cadherin-11 promotes epithelial cell motility in a manner similar to N-cadherin.
Direct measurement of laser power through a high numerical aperture oil immersion objective lens using a solid immersion lens (2002)

For many laser applications, information on irradiated laser power is important. However, direct measurement of laser power through a high numerical aperture objective lens is difficult in a laser microscope. In this article, we propose a method which use a solid immersion lens (SIL) for such measurements. A laser beam focused by an objective lens is introduced to the flat surface of a SIL, emitted through the spherical surface, and then detected. In this way the divergence of the laser beam is reduced, and as a result the detection efficiency of the laser power increases. From theoretical analysis, a Weierstrass-sphere type SIL was found to be an appropriate thickness for this propose. Transmittance of the SIL is evaluated for several refractive indeces. The validity of this method is confirmed experimentally.
Characterization of the Binding of Urokinase‐type Plasminogen Activator (u‐PA) to Plasminogen, to Plasminogen‐activator Inhibitor‐1 and to the u‐PA Receptor (1994)

Binding parameters [association-rate (kass) and dissociation-rate (kdiss) constants, and affinity constants (KA = kass/kdiss)] for the interaction between urokinase-type plasminogen activator (u-PA) and its substrate plasminogen, its inhibitor plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) and its receptor (u-PAR), were determined by real-time biospecific interaction analysis (BIA). The KA values for the binding of [S741A]recombinant plasminogen (plasminogen with N-terminal Glu and with the active site Ser741 mutagenized to Ala) or of active site-blocked plasmin (D-ValPheLysCH2-plasmin) to the 54-kDa or 32-kDa molecular forms of recombinant single-chain u-PA (rscu-PA) ranged between 0.57 x 10(6) M-1 and 1.7 x 10(6) M-1, compared to 14-22 x 10(6) M-1 for binding to the corresponding active site-blocked recombinant two-chain u-PA (rtcu-PA) moieties. KA values for binding of these plasmin(ogen) moieties to [Ser356deHAla]rtcu-PA (rtcu-PA with the active site Ser356 converted to dehydroAla) were 81 x 10(6) M-1 and 670 x 10(6) M-1, respectively. Binding of active site-blocked LMM-plasmin (a low-molecular-mass plasmin derivative lacking kringles 1-4) and of the plasmin B chain to [Ser356deHAla]rtcu-PA occurred with KA values of 3.7 x 10(6) M-1 and 0.33 x 10(6) M-1, compared to 670 x 10(6) M-1 for the binding of intact D-ValPheLysCH2-plasmin to [Ser356deHAla]rtcu-PA. The KA values for binding of latent PAI-1 to 54-kDa or 32-kDa molecular forms of rscu-PA and rtcu-PA were in the range 0.34-2.1 x 10(6) M-1. Reactivated PAI-1 bound to 54-kDa and 32-kDa rtcu-PA moieties with KA values of 26 x 10(6) M-1 and 28 x 10(6) M-1, compared to 0.77 x 10(6) M-1 and 3.2 x 10(6) M-1 for binding to the corresponding single-chain u-PA species, and 450 x 10(6) M-1 for binding to [Ser356deHAla]rtcu-PA. KA values for binding of plasmin(ogen) to the covalent rtcu-PA/PAI-1 complex were similar or somewhat higher than those for binding to uncomplexed rtcu-PA. Single-chain and two-chain 54-kDa u-PA moieties bound with a 1:1 stoichiometry and with very high affinity to u-PAR (KA of 4.6-8.5 x 10(9) M-1), whereas no significant binding of 32-kDa u-PA moieties was observed (KA < or = 0.2 x 10(6) M-1).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)
Text Mining for Automatic Image Tagging (2010)

This paper introduces several extractive approaches for automatic image tagging, relying exclusively on information mined from texts. Through evaluations on two datasets, we show that our methods exceed competitive baselines by a large margin, and compare favorably with the state-of-the-art that uses both textual and image features. 1
Cycloaddition Reactions of Neutral 2-Azadienes with Enamines − Regiospecific Synthesis of Highly Substituted Dihydropyridines and Pyridines (2001)

The reaction between electronically neutral 2-azadienes and enamines affords isoquinolines, bicyclic pyridine derivatives, tetrasubstituted 1,2-dihydropyridines, and pyridines. Dimerization of heterodienes gives pentasubstituted 2,3-dihydropyridines and pyridines in a regioselective fashion.
Reduction of feed intake in sheep by enterostatin, the procolipase activation peptide (1994)

Enterostatin, a peptide formed during the activation of pancreatic procolipase in the duodenum, is likely a mediator of satiety in the rat. The objective of this research was to determine whether administration of enterostatin into the lateral cerebral ventricle of sheep unfed for 2 h resulted in reduced feed intake. Bolus doses of 2 micrograms did reduce (P < .03) feed intake during the hour after injection by one- to two-thirds of control. Doses 20 micrograms or greater were not effective, and .2 microgram also did not have any statistically significant effect. This range of effective doses was similar to that observed in the rat, and the effective dose of 2 micrograms was approximately 10-fold greater on a per-animal basis, but less on a brain-size basis, than the amount needed to achieve a similar response in the rat. Therefore, enterostatin can reduce feed intake and thus may also be involved in satiety in sheep.
Microwave PIN diodes for GaAs IC (1985)

Core Noise Measurements on a YF-102 Turbofan Engine (1977)

Core noise from a YF-102 high bypass ratio turbofan engine was investigated through the use of simultaneous measurements of internal fluctuating pressures and far field noise. Acoustic waveguide probes, located in the engine at the compressor exit, in the combustor, at the turbine exit, and in the core nozzle, were employed to measure internal fluctuating pressures. Spectra showed that the internal signals were free of tones, except at high frequency where machinery noise was present. Data obtained over a wide range of engine conditions suggest that below 60% of maximum fan speed the low frequency core noise contributes significantly to the far field noise.
Intestinal microflora of Estonian and Swedish infants (1997)

The intestinal microflora of 1-y-old healthy Estonian (n = 27) and Swedish infants (n = 29) was studied by quantitative culture of faecal samples. The major differences were high counts of lactobacilli and eubacteria in the former and increased numbers of clostridia in the latter babies. Bifidobacteria and anaerobic cocci prevailed equally in both groups, while eubacteria and enterococci were the major microorganisms in many Estonian infants and bacteroides and clostridia in many Swedish infants. The microflora of the Estonian infants was in many aspects similar to the flora prevailing in infants of western Europe in the 1960s. The results suggest a shift in the intestinal microflora among infants in western industrialized countries.
Enhancement of Ambulation-Increasing Effect Produced by Repeated Administration of Methamphetamine in Rats and Neurochemical Changes in Catecholaminergic Neurons (1987)

Male rats of the Wistar strain were repeatedly given methamphetamine (MAP) at 0.5 mg/kg, s.c., 10 times at a fixed interval of 4 days in different environmental situations. The effects of MAP administration on ambulatory activity and neurochemical parameters in the brain were investigated. MAP (0.5 mg/kg) markedly increased ambulatory activity. The ambulation-increasing effect of MAP was progressively enhanced without accompanying stereotyped behaviors when the drug was repeatedly given in the activity cage. The once enhanced effect was considered to be irreversible. In addition, the pretreatment with MAP in the activity cage produced a decrease in the maximum density of 3H-spiperone binding sites in the striatum and that of 3H-WB4101 binding sites in the cortex and hippocampus, with decreases in catecholamine and increases in its metabolites. However, the enhancement of the ambulation-increasing effect of MAP and changes in the binding sites or catecholamine metabolism were scarcely observed when the drug was repeatedly given to the rats in the narrow cage where horizontal ambulation of the animals was strongly impaired. These results suggest that the enhancing effect of MAP is closely related to the environmental situations to which the animals have been exposed to under the drug effect. Moreover, it is indicated that there is a correlation between the enhancement of the ambulation-increasing effect of MAP and changes in the neurochemical parameters. The enhancing effect of MAP is supposed to have been partially caused by changes in cerebral catecholaminergic systems, in particular an increase in catecholamine turnover.

Characterization of Silicon Carbide Whiskers (1989)

SiC whiskers from six manufacturers were characterized by bulk chemical techniques, X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy, X‐ray diffraction, and scanning transmission electron microscopy or scanning electron microscopy. Major component (C, Si, and O) surface chemistries of the whiskers fell into four general categories: high oxygen content with oxide resembling a SiO 2 , high oxygen content with oxide resembling a Si‐O‐C glass, and hydrocarbon. Several whiskers exhibited significant surface impurities—in particular, Fe. From a morphological viewpoint, significant differences in diameter, debris level, straightness, and types and quantities of defects were observed from one manufacturer to another.
Oxidation of seed-layer for improved magnetic and recording performance of thin-film rigid discs (1993)

The effect of oxidation of various seed layers for longitudinal media is described. Sputtered Ni/sub 3/P exposed to controlled quantities of atmospheric gas and sputtering seed layers of Ti and Cr in an atmosphere of oxygen and argon are described. An appreciable increase of the coercivity and the coercivity squareness was observed. The observed improvements were attributed to the presence of an oxide layer that formed on the surface of the sputtered films as a result of oxidation. This oxidation was shown to affect the microstructure of the deposits, the more significant of which is narrowing of the grain size distribution of the subsequent layers. To a lesser extent, the seed layers seem to reduce the average grain size of the subsequent deposits.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>

Effect of Ranolazine on Infarct Size in a Canine Model of Regional Myocardial Ischemia/Reperfusion (1994)

We assessed ranolazine's potential to reduce myocardial injury resulting from 90-min occlusion and 18-h reperfusion of left circumflex coronary artery (LCX) in anesthetized dogs. Ranolazine, a putative antianginal agent, has exhibited positive results in a variety of experimental models associated with the ischemic myocardium. Previous studies demonstrated that ranolazine possesses a mechanism of action involving increases in the amount of active pyruvate dehydrogenase during ischemia, suggesting that the compound may act to promote glucose utilization. Ranolazine was administered as a bolus of 3.3 mg/kg, followed by a constant infusion of 7.2 mg/kg/h for 20 h. The loading dose was administered 30 min before LCX occlusion. Control animals received appropriate volumes of vehicles (loading and infusion). Hemodynamics were unchanged between ranolazine and vehicle groups. Three animals in each group were excluded because of ventricular fibrillation (VF). There was no difference in degree of ST segment change between control and ranolazine-treated groups at any time during LCX occlusion. The area at risk (AAR) of infarct was 40.1 +/- 1.7 and 38.9 +/- 1.3% in control-treated (n = 13) and randolazine-treated (n = 8) animals, respectively (p = 0.631). Myocardial infarct size (IS) was 31.7 +/- 5.2 and 36.6 +/- 8.5% in control and ranolazine-treated animals, respectively (p = 0.603). No significant changes were observed in plasma content of enzymatic markers at 0.5, 2.0, and 18.0 h of reperfusion. The results of this in vivo study indicate that ranolazine did not provide protection from injury to regionally ischemic and reperfused myocardium despite its reported antiischemic activity.
An analysis of trace data for predictive file caching in mobile computing (1994)

One way to provide mobile computers with access to the resources of a network, even in the absence of communication, is to predict which information will be used during disconnection and cache the appropriate data while still connected. To determine the feasibility of this approach, traces of file-access activity for three diverse application domains were collected for periods of over two months. Analysis of these traces using traditional and new measures reveals that user working sets tend to be small compared to modern disk sizes, that users tend to reference the same files for several days or even weeks at a time, and that different users do not tend to write to the same file except in highly constrained circumstances. These factors encourage the conclusion that an automated caching system can be built for a wide variety of environments. 1 Motivation The value of mobile computers is that they allow users to work while disconnected from their normal resources. However, mobile comput...
Second Step Approach for Self Healing Ceramics (2010)

Self healing of surface cracks is the most effective function to ensure the structural integrity for ceramic components, because even minute surface crack give rise to a large strength decrease because of its high sensitivity to flaws. The present author and coworkers succeeded that the degraded strength due to cracking can be completely recovered by self crack healing ability driven by the high temperature oxidation of silicon carbide. Then, the mechanism and the effect of the self-healing were investigated. The most attractive feature of the self healing is to be able to respond to the damage caused during service. Thus, enhancement in self healing velocity has been necessary to actualize the self healing ceramics. In the present study, nanometer sizing the disperse silicon carbide particle was attempted to achieve the purpose. Alumina composites containing various shapes of silicon carbide nanometer sized particles were synthesized from mullite, aluminum and carbon powders. From the strength recovery behaviors of these alumina/ silicon carbide composites, the following aspects were derived. Silicon carbide particles nanometer sizing can heal completely the surface cracks at lower temperature and shorter time.
Kaka de Luxe & Cía: léxico y gramática del español al son que toca el pop (1998)

Si, si, si, este el son del pop espanol de la Edad de oro, un son que se preguntaba Popque, mientras Maria Jesus y sus pajaritos hacian pio, pio, con los negritos de Glutamato Yeye.
