Functional Polyacetylenes (2005)

Polyacetylene (PA) is a Nobel Prize-winning macromolecule. In this work, PA is molecularly functionalized, which endows it with an array of new functional properties. The molecular functionalization is realized by attachment of functional pendants to the polyene backbone. Our efforts in the catalyst exploration and reaction optimization have led to the syntheses of a large number of PA derivatives carrying functional groups. Polymer reactions are exploited as an alternative route to the functional PAs that are difficult or impossible to access by direct polymerizations of their monomers. The new PAs with appropriate backbone-pendant combinations show various functional properties such as liquid crystallinity, photoconductivity, light emission, ionic susceptibility, photoresistance, chromism, helical chirality, optical nonlinearity, self-assembly, cytocompatibility, and bioactivity. The properties of the PAs are tuned internally and manipulated externally: the former is achieved by changing their molecular structures, especially their functional pendants, while the latter is accomplished by applying thermal, mechanical, electrical, photonic, and chemical stimuli.
Avoiding distortions due to speech coding and transmission errors in GSM ASR tasks (1999)

We have extended our previous research on a new approach to automatic speech recognition (ASR) in the GSM environment. Instead of recognizing from the decoded speech signal, our system works from the digital speech representation used by the GSM encoder. We have compared the performance of a conventional system and the one we propose on a speaker independent, isolated-digit ASR task. For the half and full-rate GSM codecs, from our results, we conclude that the proposed approach is much more effective in coping with the coding distortion and transmission errors. Furthermore, in clean speech conditions, our approach does not impoverish the recognition performance, even recognizing from GSM digital speech, in comparison with a conventional system working on unencoded speech.
Hepatitis C Replication Inhibitors That Target the Viral NS4B Protein (2013)

We describe the preclinical development and in vivo efficacy of a novel chemical series that inhibits hepatitis C virus replication via direct interaction with the viral nonstructural protein 4B (NS4B). Significant potency improvements were realized through isosteric modifications to our initial lead 1a. The temptation to improve antiviral activity while compromising physicochemical properties was tempered by the judicial use of ligand efficiency indices during lead optimization. In this manner, compound 1a was transformed into (+)-28a which possessed an improved antiviral profile with no increase in molecular weight and only a modest elevation in lipophilicity. Additionally, we employed a chimeric "humanized" mouse model of HCV infection to demonstrate for the first time that a small molecule with high in vitro affinity for NS4B can inhibit viral replication in vivo. This successful proof-of-concept study suggests that drugs targeting NS4B may represent a viable treatment option for curing HCV infection.
Treatment of Comminuted Fractures of the Proximal Humerus in Elderly Patients With the Delta III Reverse Shoulder Prosthesis (2008)

The good functional outcome and the short intervention time in our present study and not needing a sufficient rotator cuff for implementation purposes suggest the use of the Delta III reverse shoulder prosthesis as a treatment option for elderly patients with comminuted fractures of the proximal humerus.
Multicenter Prospective Cohort Study of Renal Failure in Patients Treated with Colistin versus Polymyxin B (2016)

Nephrotoxicity is the main adverse effect of colistin and polymyxin B (PMB). It is not clear whether these two antibiotics are associated with different nephrotoxicity rates. We compared the incidences of renal failure (RF) in patients treated with colistimethate sodium (CMS) or PMB for ≥48 h. A multicenter prospective cohort study was performed that included patients aged ≥18 years. The primary outcome was renal failure (RF) according to Risk, Injury, Failure, Loss, and End-stage renal disease (RIFLE) criteria. Multivariate analysis with a Cox regression model was performed. A total of 491 patients were included: 81 in the CMS group and 410 in the PMB group. The mean daily doses in milligrams per kilogram of body weight were 4.2 ± 1.3 and 2.4 ± 0.73 of colistin base activity and PMB, respectively. The overall incidence of RF was 16.9% (83 patients): 38.3% and 12.7% in the CMS and PMB groups, respectively (P< 0.001). In multivariate analysis, CMS therapy was an independent risk factor for RF (hazard ratio, 3.35; 95% confidence interval, 2.05 to 5.48;P< 0.001) along with intensive care unit admission, higher weight, older age, and bloodstream and intraabdominal infections. CMS was also independently associated with a higher risk of RF in various subgroup analyses. The incidence of RF was higher in the CMS group regardless of the patient baseline creatinine clearance. The development of RF during therapy was not associated with 30-day mortality in multivariate analysis. CMS was associated with significantly higher rates of RF than those of PMB. Further studies are required to confirm our findings in other patient populations.
Towards certain fixes with editing rules and master data (2010)

A variety of integrity constraints have been studied for data cleaning. While these constraints can detect the presence of errors, they fall short of guiding us to correct the errors. Indeed, data repairing based on these constraints may not find certain fixes that are absolutely correct, and worse, may introduce new errors when repairing the data. We propose a method for finding certain fixes, based on master data, a notion of certain regions , and a class of editing rules . A certain region is a set of attributes that are assured correct by the users. Given a certain region and master data, editing rules tell us what attributes to fix and how to update them. We show how the method can be used in data monitoring and enrichment. We develop techniques for reasoning about editing rules, to decide whether they lead to a unique fix and whether they are able to fix all the attributes in a tuple, relative to master data and a certain region. We also provide an algorithm to identify minimal certain regions, such that a certain fix is warranted by editing rules and master data as long as one of the regions is correct. We experimentally verify the effectiveness and scalability of the algorithm.
Stepwise Variable Selection in Classification Problems (1979)

Abstract Two variable selection procedures are evaluated for classification problems: a forward stepwise discrimination procedure, and a stepwise procedure preceded by a preliminary screening of variables on the basis of individual t statistics. Expected probability of correct classification is used as the measure of performance. A comparison is made of the procedures using samples from multi‐variate normal populations and from several nonnormal populations. The study demonstrated some situations where the use of all variables is preferable to the use of a stepwise discriminant procedure stopping after a few steps, though usually the latter procedure was superior in performance. However where the stepwise procedure performed better than using all variables, the modified stepwise procedure performed still better. The use of modified stepwise procedures in which not all the covariances of the problem need be estimated seems promising.
Multi-level converters and large power inverters (1996)

The voltage and current ratings of FACTS equipment place it at the limit of semiconductor technology. The multi-level converter is examined here to compare its performance with the 2-level multi-pulse converter in terms of the number and rating of the devices, harmonic distortion of the AC side waveforms, harmonic current flow in the DC side capacitor, capacitor ratings and overall control requirements. From this study it is concluded that a multi-pulse arrangement of multi-level converters, each with a small number of levels, can provide very large power ratings and achieve low distortion with the restriction of line frequency switching.
[Acne rosacea complicated with demodicosis]. (1995)

Demodicosis caused by infestation with Demodex folliculorum hominis is a parasitic acariasis disease which may affect nasal skin. Acne rosacea with demodicosis must be distinguished from nasal furunculi which require antiinflammatory, hyposensitizing treatment. If the latter fails, it is acna rosacea with demodicosis that must be suspected. The diagnosis is made by investigation of nasal skin scrapings. If the mites are found, the patient should be referred to dermatologist for specific treatment.
Effect of chronic rapid ventricular pacing on total vascular capacitance. (1992)

Chronic RRVP induced cardiac failure with a marked reduction in total vascular capacitance due to a reduction in unstressed volume without altering compliance. The rise in mean circulatory filling pressure was limited by a reduction in total blood volume.
A robust, segmental method for text independent speaker identification (2002)

A robust, segmental method for text independent speaker identification is presented. Probability models are created from training data for each of the speakers of interest. The test sessions are then segmented and the statistics from each segment along with the models are used to compute scores for each speaker. Robust methods are described for combining the scores over all segments into one score. This process is carried out for each of the segment statistics which are combined to form a final score. Zero errors are obtained on a subset of the Switchboard corpus consisting of 24 speakers using six 60 second training sessions for each speaker and 97 thirty second tests.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>
GaInAsP/InP stripe lasers with etched mirrors fabricated by a wet chemical etch (1980)

Monolithically etched-facet-mirror GaInAsP/InP stripe lasers (1.3 μm) were made using a wet chemical etching technique. Lasers with 20 μm stripes have current thresholds of 300 mA (room temperature, pulsed) about 50% higher than comparable cleaved-mirror lasers. Nearly single-mode operation up to 1.51th has been achieved with a cavity length of ∼180 μm.
Acylation of 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine and 2,2,5,5-tetramethylpyrrolidine (1971)

Treatment of 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine with carbonyl dichloride caused ring fission with loss of hydrogen chloride to give a mixture of 1,1,5-trimethylhex-4-enyl isocyanate and 1,1,5-trimethylhex-5-enyl isocyanate which on treatment with sodium carbonate gave N-(1,1,5-trimethylhex-4-enyl)-N′-(1,1,5-trimethylhex-5-enyl)urea. Ring fission also occurred on treatment with acetic anhydride or acetyl chloride, giving a mixture of N-(1,1,5-trimethylhex-4-enyl)acetamide and N-(1,1,5-trimethylhex-5-enyl)acetamide, although conditions could be modified to give 1-acetyl-2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine. Treatment of 2,2,5,5-tetramethylpyrrolidine with carbonyl dichloride gave the 1-chlorocarbonyl derivative, which reacted normally with alcohols and amines.
What the Writers and Thinkers Are Doing (1989)

We have all been saddened by Miss O'Leary's sudden death on the fifteenth of this month. The death of this heroic woman who lived ever, in the words of her own song, written of another, "to God and Ireland true," has left a sore place in numerous hearts. Everywhere sympathy is felt for her brother, Mr. John O'Leary, whose lifelong friend and ally she was.1KeywordsStrange StoryTrue SubjectSunday AfternoonLifelong FriendVerse WriterThese keywords were added by machine and not by the authors.

Multiscale methods for mechanical science of complex materials: Bridging from quantum to stochastic multiresolution continuum (2010)

Abstract Recent development in the multiscale method based on the bridging scale concept is presented with an emphasis on complex material systems. The bridging scale method (BSM) was originally proposed by Wagner and Liu ( J. Comput. Phys. 2003; 190 :249–274) as an effective way of treating the interface in coupled atomistic/continuum simulation. Since its publication, the BSM has become a very useful paradigm that has been applied to solve a host of problems in mechanical sciences of complex material systems. In this paper, we present a review on the recent developments. We first describe the application of BSM to the coupled atomistic/continuum simulation of dynamic fracture. The important extensions within the framework of space–time method and multiscale non‐equilibrium molecular dynamics are then presented. We then focus on the multiresolution continuum theory that inherits the BSM concept in the analysis of heterogeneous material structures. Recent work of incorporating statistical factors into this model based on the concurrent nested homogenization of randomness of the material structures is highlighted. Finally, we present the use of the bridging scale concept in resolving the electron‐mechanical coupling mechanism. The robustness of the BSM is demonstrated through many benchmark problems and application examples. Copyright © 2010 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
Noninvasive monitoring of cerebral perfusion pressure in patients with acute liver failure using transcranial doppler ultrasonography (2008)

Elevated intracranial pressure (ICP) leads to loss of cerebral perfusion, cerebral herniation, and irreversible brain damage in patients with acute liver failure (ALF). Conventional techniques for monitoring ICP can be complicated by hemorrhage and infection. Transcranial doppler ultrasonography (TCD) is a noninvasive device which can continuously measure cerebral blood flow velocity, producing a velocity-time waveform that indirectly monitors changes in cerebral hemodynamics, including ICP. The primary goal of this study was to determine whether TCD waveform features could be used to differentiate ALF patients with respect to ICP or, equally important, cerebral perfusion pressure (CPP) levels. A retrospective study of 16 ALF subjects with simultaneous TCD, ICP, and CPP measurements yielded a total of 209 coupled ICP-CPP-TCD observations. The TCD waveforms were digitally scanned and seven points corresponding to a simplified linear waveform were identified. TCD waveform features including velocity, pulsatility index, resistive index, fraction of the cycle in systole, slopes, and angles associated with changes in the slope in each region, were calculated from the simplified waveform data. Paired ICP-TCD observations were divided into three groups (ICP < 20 mmHg, n = 102; 20 < or = ICP < 30 mmHg, n = 74; and ICP > or = 30 mmHg, n = 33). Paired CPP-TCD observations were also divided into three groups (CPP > or = 80 mmHg, n = 42; 80 > CPP > or = 60 mmHg, n = 111; and CPP < 60 mmHg, n = 56). Stepwise linear discriminant analysis was used to identify TCD waveform features that discriminate between ICP groups and CPP groups. Four primary features were found to discriminate between ICP groups: the blood velocity at the start of the Windkessel effect, the slope of the Windkessel upstroke, the angle between the end systolic downstroke and start diastolic upstroke, and the fraction of time spent in systole. Likewise, 4 features were found to discriminate between the CPP groups: the slope of the Windkessel upstroke, the slope of the Windkessel downstroke, the slope of the diastolic downstroke, and the angle between the end systolic downstroke and start diastolic upstroke. The TCD waveform captures the cerebral hemodynamic state and can be used to predict dynamic changes in ICP or CPP in patients with ALF. The mean TCD waveforms for corresponding, correctly classified ICP and CPP groups are remarkably similar. However, this approach to predicting intracranial hypertension and CPP needs to be further refined and developed before clinical application is feasible.
Beyond the Personal and Private: Modes of Mobile Phone Sharing in Urban India (2017)

This chapter explores the connection between mobile sharing and social space. It presents the overall dialogue on the significance of mobile communication for human, social space by expanding the inquiry into one of the world's largest communities of mobile users, India. The chapter draws on ethnographic research to identify various modes of mobile phone sharing that cannot be entirely explained by economic necessity and instead reflect deeper processes of human organization. It illustrates how mobile communication helps people create and alter the social spaces around them. The chapter briefly reviews existing literature on three distinct conceptual threads: the relationship of mobiles and other information communication technologies to space, the sharing of mobile communication devices, and the growing importance of mobile communication in the developing world. Both central concepts (mobiles and space, mobiles and sharing) have been studied in developing-world settings, both rural and urban. Mobile use sets norms and helps individuals carve "personal" spaces out of crowded urban environments.
Verification of specific G-quadruplex structure by using a novel cyanine dye supramolecular assembly: I. Recognizing mixed G-quadruplex in human telomeres (2009)

A novel cyanine dye supramolecular assembly was designed to recognize mixed G-quadruplex in human telomeres.
Full Color 3-D Imaging by Digital Holography and Removal of Chromatic Aberrations (2008)

In color digital holography the recording and reconstruction of three holograms, by an optical setup operating in multi-wavelength mode, is necessary. Incorrect superposition of different images at various wavelengths may occur due to the presence of chromatic aberrations. We demonstrate that the compensation of the chromatic aberrations can be achieved by using all of the information contained in the multi-wavelength digital holograms. Chromatic aberration is extracted from phase maps reconstructed at different wavelengths, resulting in perfect full color amplitude reconstructions. The method has important applications in color 3-D holographic imaging and display.
The Schizosaccharomyces pombe cdc3+ gene encodes a profilin essential for cytokinesis. (1994)

The fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe divides by medial fission and, like many higher eukaryotic cells, requires the function of an F-actin contractile ring for cytokinesis. In S. pombe, a class of cdc- mutants defective for cytokinesis, but not for DNA replication, mitosis, or septum synthesis, have been identified. In this paper, we present the characterization of one of these mutants, cdc3-124. Temperature shift experiments reveal that mutants in cdc3 are incapable of forming an F-actin contractile ring. We have molecularly cloned cdc3 and used the cdc3+ genomic DNA to create a strain carrying a cdc3 null mutation by homologous recombination in vivo. Cells bearing a cdc3-null allele are inviable. They arrest the cell cycle at cytokinesis without forming a contractile ring. DNA sequence analysis of the cdc3+ gene reveals that it encodes profilin, an actin-monomer-binding protein. In light of recent studies with profilins, we propose that Cdc3-profilin plays an essential role in cytokinesis by catalyzing the formation of the F-actin contractile ring. Consistent with this proposal are our observations that Cdc3-profilin localizes to the medial region of the cell where the F-actin contractile ring forms, and that it is essential for F-actin ring formation. Cells overproducing Cdc3-profilin become elongated, dumbbell shaped, and arrest at cytokinesis without any detectable F-actin staining. This effect of Cdc3-profilin overproduction is relieved by introduction of a multicopy plasmid carrying the actin encoding gene, act1+. We attribute these effects to potential sequestration of actin monomers by profilin, when present in excess.
Insight into the bacterial gut microbiome of the North American moose (Alces alces) (2012)

Using PhyloTrac and UniFrac computer software, samples clustered into two distinct groups: rumen and colon, confirming that the rumen and colon are distinct environments. There was an apparent correlation of age to cluster, which will be validated by a larger sample size in future studies, but there were no detectable trends based upon gender.
TEFLON-COATED SAFETY GUIDES (1968)

Teflon-coated safety guides have solved the problem of guidespring-catheter adherence in otherwise ideal polyurethane catheters. We strongly urge others to learn for themselves the advantages of this nocompromise approach to safety and sophistication in selective vascular catheterization.
Profile of sex hormones in male patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (2000)

Hypoandrogenism is present in some male patients with SLE and may be relevant in disease pathogenesis. However, whether these hormonal abnormalities are intrinsic to SLE or the consequence of any non-specific chronic disorders cannot be distinguished from the current data. Further studies involving a larger number of subjects and inclusion of other disease controls are needed.
Factors influencing drug deposition in thenasal cavity upon delivery via nasal sprays (2020)

In nasal drug delivery system, nasal spray seems to be the most promising delivery method for both local and systemic diseases therapy. Nasal deposition behavior is the most basic and important process for nasal sprays, which is related to nasal mucociliary clearance, retention of a formulation in the nose therefore the therapeutic effect. The present paper systemically summarized and discussed the factors influencing drug deposition in the nasal cavity upon delivery via nasal sprays, including device, formulation and administration techniques. Emitted dose volume of the device, spray pattern and plume geometry, droplet size distribution and velocity of emitted droplets were important device factors influencing nasal deposition. Besides, viscosity, thixotropic property and surface tension were considered to be the formulation factors influencing nasal deposition of spray. In addition, administration technique influencing nasal deposition included head orientation, administration angle, insertion depth of spray nozzle and breathing profile. Meanwhile, the imaging methods used to predict and visualize the deposition of nasal formulation was illustrated. The review provided important theoretical and experimental knowledge to control the deposition pattern of nasal sprays in order to achieve better therapeutic effect in the clinic.
