Frying quality and stability of low‐and ultra‐low‐linolenic acid soybean oils (2003)

Abstract To determine effects of very low levels of linolenic acid on frying stabilities of soybean oils, tests were conducted with 2% (low) linolenic acid soybean oil (LLSBO) and 0.8% (ultra‐low) linolenic acid soybean oil (ULLSBO) in comparison with cottonseed oil (CSO). Potato chips were fried in the oils for a total of 25 h of oil use. No significant differences were found for either total polar compounds or FFA between samples of LLSBO and ULLSBO; however, CSO had significantly higher percentage of polar compounds and FFA than the soybean oils at all sampling times. Flavor evaluations of fresh and aged (1, 3, 5, and 7 wk at 25°C) potato chips showed some differences between potato chips fried in different oil types. Sensory panel judges reported that potato chips fried in ULLSBO and aged for 3 or 7 wk at 25°C had significantly lower intensities of fishy flavor than did potato chips fried in LLSBO with the same conditions. Potato chips fried in ULLSBO that had been used for 5 h and then aged 7 wk at 25°C had significantly better quality than did potato chips fried 5 h in LLSBO and aged under the same conditions. Hexanal was significantly higher in the 5‐h LLSBO sample than in potato chips fried 5 h in ULLSBO. The decrease in linolenic acid from 2 to 0.8% in the oils improved flavor quality and oxidative stability of some of the potato chip samples.
Lowering cholesterol naturally (1990)

Patients today are more likely than ever to seek advice about reducing cholesterol levels. Physicians can help by teaching patients how to cut down on saturated fats. However, as Dr. Nash points out, eating habits are difficult to change, especially for those who think that healthy foods have an unpleasant taste. This article discusses several dietary interventions that have been proven to reduce cholesterol levels and thus the risk of coronary artery disease.
A Review of the Factors Affecting the Stability of Solids-Stabilized Emulsions (1988)

Abstract This paper discusses the main factors that play an important role in the formation and stabilization of emulsions containing finely divided solids. The influence of contact angle, particle size, particle interactions, and surfactants on emulsion behavior is discussed, and the state of the art in experimental techniques and fundamental research work is described.
Vacuum-Ultra-Violet and Ozone Induced Oxidation of Silicon and Silicon-Germanium (1993)

UV radiation has been used to induce low temperature oxidation of crystalline silicon (c-Si) surfaces and silicon-germanium (Si-Ge) strained layers on Si. For c-Si at 550°C, growth rate enhancements of up to 50 times the dry thermal oxidation rate are achieved, equivalent to what is normally only obtainable thermally at 900°C. When irradiated under identical conditions by the UV light, SiGe layers were found to oxidise two times faster than c-Si. Prolonged oxidation of SiGe produced a dielectric structure consisting of a pure SiO 2 film on top of a SiO 2 layer containing several percent of trapped Ge, with the remaining SiGe layer snow-ploughed at the Si interface but retaining its epitaxial structure. Simple modelling qualitatively explains the observed features of the silicon oxidation and has led to further studies of ozone oxidation of c-Si.
Experimental comparison of turbulence modulation transfer function and aerosol modulation transfer function through the open atmosphere (1995)

Although turbulence is usually considered to be the primary cause of image blur, simultaneous and independent measurements of overall atmospheric modulation transfer function (MTF) and turbulence MTF over fairly long horizontal paths at 15-m average elevation indicate that, even at midday, aerosol MTF deriving from forward scatter is usually more dominant than turbulence MTF. Three different experimental techniques are used, two passive and one active. Aerosol MTF measurements are accompanied by actual meteorological and coarse aerosol size distributions and scattering parameters at the times of MTF measurements. The wavelength dependence of aerosol and therefore of overall atmospheric MTF can be significant. This wavelength dependence and a usually well-defined knee can in no way be due to turbulence but can be explained by a significant aerosol MTF deriving from typical aerosol size distributions representative of other climates as well. Measurements confirm that the narrower the open-atmosphere aerosol scattering patterns and the greater the scattering densities, the greater the degradations of aerosol MTF and, consequently, of overall atmospheric MTF. Results imply that system design and image-restoration algorithms based on atmospheric turbulence only may often lead to image quality that is much poorer than if aerosol MTF is considered, too, with its proper proportional effect on imaging through the atmosphere. Whereas adaptive optics cannot correct for aerosol-derived blur, digital image restoration can.
Impact modification of thermoplastics by methyl methacrylate and styrene‐grafted natural rubber latexes (1995)

Abstract The preparation and characterization of polymer blends with structured natural rubber (NR)‐based latex particles are presented. By a semicontinuous emulsion polymerization process, a natural rubber latex (prevulcanized or not) was coated with a shell of crosslinked polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) or polystyrene (PS). Furthermore, core–shell latexes based on a natural rubber/crosslinked PS latex semi‐interpenetrating network were synthesized in a batch process. These structured particles were incorporated as impact modifiers into a brittle polymer matrix using a Werner & Pfleiderer twin screw extruder. The mechanical properties of PS and PMMA blends with a series of the prepared latexes were investigated. In the case of PMMA blends, relatively simple core (NR)–shell (crosslinked PMMA) particles improved the mechanical properties of PMMA most effectively. An intermediate PS layer between the core and the shell or a natural rubber core with PS subinclusions allowed the E‐modulus to be adjusted. The situation was different with the PS blends. Only core–shell particles based on NR‐crosslinked PS latex semi‐interpenetrating networks could effectively toughen PS. It appears that microdomains in the rubber phase allowed a modification of the crazing behavior. These inclusions were observed inside the NR particles by transmission electron microscopy. Transmission electron photomicrographs of PS and PMMA blends also revealed intact and well‐dispersed particles. Scanning electron microscopy of fracture surfaces allowed us to distinguish PS blends reinforced with latex semi‐interpenetrating network‐based particles from blends with all other types of particles.

Novel Drug Delivery Systems for Posterior Segment Ocular Disease (2007)

Delivery of drugs to the eye, particularly for the treatment of posterior segment diseases, is a challenging task that requires drug transport across barriers in the eye, which are present for the purpose of limiting the entry of drugs and xenobiotics. The common methods of drug delivery to the eye—eyedrops, direct injection, and systemic administration—all have problems that limit their usefulness, particularly for agents that are high in molecular weight and water-soluble.
An IF-to-Baseband $\Sigma \Delta$ Modulator for AM/FM/IBOC Radio Receivers With a 118 dB Dynamic Range (2007)

A single-bit fifth-order complex continuous-time IF-to-baseband SigmaDelta modulator for AM/FM/IBOC receivers is presented. The input IF is 10.7 MHz and the sampling frequency is 41.7 MHz. The modulator achieves a dynamic range of 118dB in AM mode (3 kHz BW), 98dB in FM mode (200 kHz BW), and 86dB in IBOC mode (500 kHz BW). The modulator's high dynamic range enables the realization of an AM radio receiver without a VGA and without an AM channel-selection filter, thereby reducing system complexity and cost. The elimination of the VGA also improves the sensitivity and the overall noise figure of the receiver. The modulator's spurious free dynamic range is 88 dB in the bandwidth from 25 to 525 kHz. The IM2 distance is 92 dB, and the IM3 distance is 91 dB. The ADC was fabricated in a one-poly five-metal 0.18-mum CMOS process with an active area of 6.0mm <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">2</sup> . It consumes 210 mW from a 1.8-V supply
The Development of a Research Design to Assess the Effects of Individual Music Therapy with Mentally Ill Children and Adolescents (2001)

This paper introduces a research design to measure effects of individual music therapy with mentally ill children and adolescents on symptoms, competencies, and quality of life. In a pilot project, seven children (five boys and two girls, 4 to 11 years of age) who suffered from various mental and behavioural problems were assessed. Five children received music therapy, and two did not. The two groups were compared with regard to the kind and severity of their problems. The main therapeutic aspects of music therapy were the children s needs for relationship and presence and opportunities for emotional expression. At post–treatment, the children who received music therapy were improved in all three outcome domains. Through the pilot study, the sensitivity and relevance of the instruments and the feasibility of a parallel no–treatment control group could be confirmed, and further details of the research design could be clarified. The results support the continuation of this research with a larger sample.
Early Suppression of Viremia by ZDV Does Not Alter the Spread of Feline Immunodeficiency Virus Infection in Cats (1995)

Prophylactic zidovudine (ZDV) therapy in feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV) inoculated cats was evaluated for 12 months postinfection (pi) and 11 months post drug treatment. Plasma FIV antigenemia was prevented in six of six ZDV-treated and none of six untreated cats during the initial phase of infection. The present study is a continuation of that earlier work. CD4 lymphocyte numbers from ZDV-treated cats were higher than in the untreated cats. CD8 lymphocytes numbers were maintained within control limits in the ZDV-treated cats, while they declined in the untreated cats. Anti-FIV antibody titers were comparable between the ZDV-treated and the untreated cats. Histologically, lymphoid tissues for the untreated and ZDV-treated cats were unremarkable and similar to those of the uninfected control cats. Low-level FIV antigen was detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay in thymus or lymph node homogenates from 3 of 11 cats tested. Polymerase chain reaction analysis showed FIV DNA in blood, lymph node, bone marrow, spleen, thymus, and brain from FIV-inoculated cats irrespective of ZDV treatment. Therefore, while prophylactic ZDV treatment prevented detectable plasma antigenemia and FIV-induced CD8 lymphocyte decline, it did not slow infection of tissues and blood cells of FIV-inoculated cats.
Apple, Insects, 1977 (1978)

Abstract Pesticides were applied in a IX dilution (1 lb/100 gal H2O) at 300 psi so that foliage and fruit were treated to the “run-off”. All treatments of insecticides were made on a regular apple schedule allowing approximately a 10-day interval between cover sprays. Mature standard Delicious, Mcintosh and Cortland trees were randomized and replicated 4 times in a 112-tree block. Application dates were: Apr27-28 (Green tip); May5 (Tight-cluster); Mayl2 (Blossom-No insecticide applied); Mayl9-20 (Petal fall). Cover sprays were: May30, Junll-12, Jun27-29, Jull3-15, Jull7-28, Aug9-10 and Aug20-22. Evaluations were made as final harvest fruit scoring (Oct5-15). Disease control was accomplished by use of standard fungicide applications of Captan (2 lb 50WP/100) or Benomyl (6 oz 50WP/100) at each application.
Comparing two-phase locking and optimistic concurrency control protocols in multiprocessor real-time databases (2002)

Previous studies (Haritsa et al., 1990) have shown that optimistic concurrency control (OCC) generally performs better than lock-based protocols in disk-based real-time database systems (RTDBS). We compare the two concurrency control protocols in both disk-based and memory-resident multiprocessor RTDBS. Based on their performance characteristics, a new lock-based protocol, called two phase locking-lock write all (2PL-LW), is proposed. The results of our performance evaluation experiments show that different characteristics of the two environments indeed have great impact on the protocols' performance. We identify such system characteristics and show that our new lock-based protocols, 2PL-LW, is better than OCC in meeting transaction deadlines in both disk-based and memory-resident RTDBS.
The gene coding for 3-deoxy-manno-octulosonic acid transferase and the rfaQ gene are transcribed from divergently arranged promoters in Escherichia coli (1992)

The gene kdtA in Escherichia coli codes for 3-deoxy-D-manno-octulosonic acid transferase, the enzyme responsible for attachment of the two 3-deoxy-D-manno-octulosonic acid residues that constitute the link between lipid A and the core oligosaccharide of the lipopolysaccharide. Cloning and subsequent sequencing of the region upstream of kdtA revealed an open reading frame identified as the first gene (rfaQ) in an rfa gene cluster. The kdtA and rfaQ transcripts were identified, and the 5' ends of the transcripts were mapped by primer extension. Two main, divergently arranged promoters were found. These promoters generated transcripts with 5' ends separated by 289 bases. That the two divergent transcripts from the identified promoters represent the kdtA and rfaQ transcripts was confirmed by fusing different parts of the intergenic region between the promoterless lacZ and phoA genes in promoter-screening plasmid pCB267.
Quality as a measurement of customer perception and satisfaction in mobile TLC (2002)

Quality is the key factor in the design and management of a modern and efficient mobile communications system capable of responding to the ever increasing requirements of this market, and at the same time fulfilling the needs and expectations of the user. A service provider (SP) which pays due attention to quality will be able to maintain its market position and will ultimately strengthen it. It appears essential, therefore, for SPs to equip themselves with appropriate methodologies and tools for the measuring of the quality of service (QoS) offered to users. The paper gives a general overview of the main problems regarding QoS in mobile communications and proposes a new method of dealing with them.

Clinical impact of blood cultures taken in the emergency department. (1998)

Blood cultures taken in the ED rarely yield positive cultures. Only 1.6% of blood cultures taken in the ED impact on management of patients. Simple strategies could reduce the number of blood cultures ordered with little prospect of patient compromise.
Identification and characterization of a monoclonal antibody to an antigen expressed on activated macrophages. (1984)

A hybridoma clone secreting a monoclonal antibody, designated MA158.2, that reacts with an antigen expressed on lymphokine-treated macrophages was produced by fusion of mouse myeloma cells with rat spleen cells immunized against C57BL/6 peritoneal macrophages rendered tumoricidal in vitro by incubation with the lymphokine macrophage-activating factor. The specificity of the antibody for activated macrophages and lack of reactivity with histologically diverse cell types was determined by radioimmune indirect binding and flow cytometry. MA158.2 antibody binds to mouse peritoneal macrophages elicited by nonspecific inflammatory agents and to tumoricidal macrophages elicited with Corynebacterium parvum. Resident peritoneal, splenic, and alveolar macrophages were only weakly positive. Several macrophage cell lines (P388D1, WEH1-231, J774, RAW 264.7), murine fibroblasts, and neutrophils did not bind detectable amounts of MA158.2. Radioimmune indirect binding analysis demonstrated that cell suspensions prepared from C57BL/6 mouse spleen, thymus, and lymph node as well as polymorphonuclear leukocytes, lymphocytes, and T- and B-cell murine lymphomas were MA158.2 negative. Expression of the reactive antigen on the macrophage cell surface was enhanced 3-fold following in vitro activation of elicited macrophages with macrophage-activating factor and the kinetics of activation to the tumoricidal state paralleled the increased expression of the antigen recognized by MA158.2. MA158.2 is a rat IgG2a antibody containing a single specific heavy and light chain that does not detect a polymorphic determinant. This monoclonal antibody will be a useful tool for monitoring the efficacy of agents in activating murine macrophages to the tumoricidal state and in analyzing the sequence of biochemical events that culminate in macrophage activation.
Frequency, Predictors, Distribution, and Morphological Characteristics of Layered Culprit and Nonculprit Plaques of Patients With Acute Myocardial Infarction (2020)

Layered plaques were identified in 3-quarters of patients with acute myocardial infarction, especially in the culprit plaques of patients with ST-segment-elevation myocardial infarction. Layered plaques had a limited, focal distribution in the left anterior descending artery, and left circumflex artery but were more evenly distributed in the right coronary artery and were characterized by greater lumen narrowing at both culprit and nonculprit sites.

The Effect of Tropical Sorghum Conversion and Inbred Development on Genome Diversity as Revealed by High‐Resolution Genotyping (2008)

Graphical genotypes have been generated for a set of sorghum [ Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench] germplasm, which includes selected public inbreds, germplasm from the world collection, and ancestral lines central to the early breeding efforts of sorghum. We have focused our present examination on sorghum chromosome SBI‐06, which encodes ma 1 and dw 2 , two genes critical to sorghum improvement dating to the original introduction of tropical sorghums into the United States. Utilizing the pedigree relationship between sorghum cultivars, the patterns of genetic variation were detailed within segmental chromosomal blocks of SBI‐06. Segmental genomic blocks were traced back through multiple generations of a pedigree, often back to founder tropical accessions. The graphical genotypes reveal genomic signatures of historical breeding decisions, especially evidence of directional selection during the conversion of tropical accessions to temperate adaptation. This information is central to our efforts to understand those crop improvement processes that have shaped the genomic diversity of elite sorghum cultivars.

Erythropoietin accelerates smooth muscle cell–rich vascular lesion formation in mice through endothelial cell activation involving enhanced PDGF-BB release (2009)

In this study, the effect of human erythropoietin Delta (Epo) on smooth muscle cell (SMC)-rich lesions was evaluated. Mice, of which the left carotid artery was ligated, were treated with suberythropoietic as well as erythropoietic doses of Epo and both doses of Epo enhanced SMC-rich lesion formation. No association was observed between hemoglobin levels and lesion size. Moreover, endothelial progenitor cell (EPC) numbers in the peripheral blood increased only in the erythropoietic dosing group, indicating that EPC numbers did not correlate with lesion size. Immunohistochemical analysis revealed that Epo-mediated enhancement of lesion formation correlates with increased signal transducer and activator of transcription 5 (Stat5) phosphorylation in the vessel wall. Experiments performed in cultured vascular cells demonstrated that Epo robustly induced phosphorylation of Stat5 in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs), but only very weakly in SMCs. In tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNFalpha)-activated HUVECS, Epo induced expression of platelet-derived growth factor B (PDGF-B), which was at least partially responsible for the induction of Stat5 phosphorylation in SMCs by HUVEC-conditioned medium. In conclusion, in mice Epo accelerates SMC-rich neointima formation, which correlates with increased Stat5 phosphorylation in the vessel wall but is independent of erythrocyte and EPC numbers.
