Measuring the Hedonic and Utilitarian Dimensions of Consumer Attitude (2003)

This article reports the development and validation of a parsimonious, generalizable scale that measures the hedonic and utilitarian dimensions of consumer attitudes toward product categories and different brands within categories. The hedonic/utilitarian (HED/UT) scale includes ten semantic differential response items, five of which refer to the hedonic dimension and five of which refer to the utilitarian dimension of consumer attitudes. The authors conducted six studies to establish the unidimensionality, reliability, and validity of the two HED/UT subscales. In reaching the final scale, the authors also develop and implement a unique process of paring down a psychometrically sound but otherwise too large set of items. Nomological validity is established by replacing a typical, one-dimensional attitude toward the brand measure with the hedonic and utilitarian dimensions in a central route processing model. Results suggest that the hedonic and utilitarian constructs are two distinct dimensions of brand attitude and are reliably and validly measured by the HED/UT scale.
Human Cruciform Binding Protein Belongs to the 14-3-3 Family (1998)

Cruciform DNA has been implicated in the initiation of DNA replication. Recently, we identified and purified from human (HeLa) cells a protein, CBP, with binding specificity for cruciform DNA. We have reported previously that the CBP activity sediments at approximately 66 kDa in a glycerol gradient. Here, photochemical cross-linking studies and Southwestern analyses confirm that a 70 kDa polypeptide interacts specifically with cruciform DNA. Microsequence analysis of tryptic peptides of the 70 kDa CBP reveals that it is 100% homologous to the 14-3-3 family of proteins and shows that CBP contains the epsilon, beta, gamma, and zeta isoforms of the 14-3-3 family. In addition to polypeptides with the characteristic molecular mass of 14-3-3 proteins (30 and 33 kDa), CBP also contains a polypeptide of 35 kDa which is recognized by an antibody specific for the epsilon isoform of 14-3-3. Cruciform-specific binding activity is also detected in 14-3-3 proteins purified from sheep brain. Immunofluorescene studies confirm the presence of the epsilon, beta, and zeta isoforms of 14-3-3 proteins in the nuclei of HeLa cells. The 14-3-3 family of proteins has been implicated in cell cycle control, and members of this family have been shown to interact with various signaling proteins. Cruciform binding is a new activity associated with the 14-3-3 family.
Diurnal variation in the therapeutic efficacy of 5-fluorouracil against murine colon cancer. (1992)

Mice bearing the murine colon carcinomas Colon 38 or Colon 26 were treated with 5-fluorouracil (5 FU) (60 or 100 mg/kg, respectively) weekly for 4 weeks at 08.30 hr or at 18.30 hr. The antitumor effect of treatment at 08.30 hr was significantly better for both types of tumors, but most pronounced for Colon 38. Toxicity was evaluated after administration of 60 mg 5 FU/kg. No thrombocytopenia was observed. Leucopenia was observed after treatment at 18.30 hr. It is concluded that the therapeutic efficacy of 5 FU against murine colon cancer is higher when 5 FU is administered at 08.30 hr.
Numerical Simulation Effect of Lateral Pressure Coefficient in Solid Material (2011)

Based on the heterogeneity of rock, by using the RFPA 2D , influene of the horizontal in-situ stresses on the distributions of plastic zones is discussed. Among the current problems that rock or civil engineers face, perhaps there is none as challenging as the characterization of fluid flow though fracturing rocks, especially when they are highly stressed. In mining and civil engineering projects, the re-distribution of the stress field during the excavation of tunnels and underground chambers lead to the formation of new fractures. These damages may cause dramatic changes in the permeability of the rock masses. As a result, the rate of water flowing into the tunnels and chambers will increase.
A real-time augmented-reality system for sports broadcast video enhancement (2007)

This paper presents a new augmented-reality system designed to generate visual enhancements for TV broadcasted court-net sports. A probabilistic method based on the Expectation Maximization (EM) procedure is utilized to find the optimal feature points, thereby enabling the automatic acquisition of the camera parameters from the TV image with high accuracy. A virtual camera derived from the original camera, helps to synthesize a variety of virtual scenes, such as the scene from the viewpoint of a player, depending on the intention of the user. To preserve the visual nature of the original human motion, the player's shape and texture are extracted from the real video and texture-mapped onto the virtual video. The system was tested over a set of court-net sports videos containing tennis, badminton and volleyball and demonstrated promising results.
Hypertension awareness, treatment, and control: Continued disparities in adults: United States, 2005-2006 (2008)

Data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys. In 2005-2006, 29% of all U.S. adults 18 years and older were hypertensive (systolic BP =/> 140 mmHg or diastolic BP =/> 90 mmHg or taking medications for hypertension). The prevalence of hypertension was nearly equal between men and women. In 2005-2006, an additional 28% of U.S. adults had prehypertension (systolic BP 120-139 mm Hg or diastolic BP 80-89 mm Hg, and not pharmacologically treated for high BP). In 2005-2006, 7% of the total U.S. adult population had a systolic BP =/> 140 mmHg or diastolic BP =/> 90 mmHg, but had never been told by a health care provider that they had high BP. Among hypertensive adults, 78% were aware of their condition. Overall, 68% of adults with hypertension were using anti-hypertensive medication. Over 64% of adults who were taking antihypertensive medication achieved BP less than 140/90 mm Hg.
An integrated methodology for multiobjective optimal component placement and heat sink sizing (2005)

The advances in power electronics packaging resulting from the integration of various high power devices into single programmable blocks are projected to significantly increase heat dissipation rates up to 2-3 W/mm/sup 2/ within the next decade. Conventional thermal management schemes such as air-cooled heat sinks are inadequate at these high power levels, requiring the use of forced liquid cooled heat sinks, or cold plates. A primary issue concerning the thermal-packaging designers today is the selection of a suitable cold plate and the optimum placement of components on it. This paper focuses on a methodology for selection of cold plates and the optimal placement of power modules on them. The basis of the methodology is the integration of computationally efficient reduced or "compact" thermal models within a genetic algorithm based multiobjective optimization framework. This methodology is used to optimize the placement of multiple power modules on a cold plate. It is also extended to perform a tradeoff analysis between multiple competing objectives for cold plate selection. Compact thermal models for power electronics and heat sinks are developed, validated, and integrated within the optimization framework. The effectiveness of the methodology as a rapid scouting tool to arrive at an optimum tradeoff solution set for further analysis by detailed numerical simulation is discussed. The methodology is general in the sense that it allows for incorporation of changes in optimization criteria or improvements in the heat transfer solver.
A Glutamate Is the Essential Proton Transfer Gate during the Catalytic Cycle of the [NiFe] Hydrogenase (2004)

Kinetic, EPR, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopic analysis of Desulfovibrio fructosovorans [NiFe] hydrogenase mutants targeted to Glu-25 indicated that this amino acid participates in proton transfer between the active site and the protein surface during the catalytic cycle. Replacement of that glutamic residue by a glutamine did not modify the spectroscopic properties of the enzyme but cancelled the catalytic activity except the para-H(2)/ortho-H(2) conversion. This mutation impaired the fast proton transfer from the active site that allows high turnover numbers for the oxidation of hydrogen. Replacement of the glutamic residue by the shorter aspartic acid slowed down this proton transfer, causing a significant decrease of H(2) oxidation and hydrogen isotope exchange activities, but did not change the para-H(2)/ortho-H(2) conversion activity. The spectroscopic properties of this mutant were totally different, especially in the reduced state in which a non-photosensitive nickel EPR spectrum was obtained.
Comparative Transcriptome Analysis Quantifies Immune Cell Transcript Levels, Metastatic Progression, and Survival in Osteosarcoma (2017)

Overall survival of patients with osteosarcoma (OS) has improved little in the past three decades, and better models for study are needed. OS is common in large dog breeds and is genetically inducible in mice, making the disease ideal for comparative genomic analyses across species. Understanding the level of conservation of intertumor transcriptional variation across species and how it is associated with progression to metastasis will enable us to more efficiently develop effective strategies to manage OS and to improve therapy. In this study, transcriptional profiles of OS tumors and cell lines derived from humans (<i>n</i> = 49), mice (<i>n</i> = 103), and dogs (<i>n</i> = 34) were generated using RNA sequencing. Conserved intertumor transcriptional variation was present in tumor sets from all three species and comprised gene clusters associated with cell cycle and mitosis and with the presence or absence of immune cells. Further, we developed a novel gene cluster expression summary score (GCESS) to quantify intertumor transcriptional variation and demonstrated that these GCESS values associated with patient outcome. Human OS tumors with GCESS values suggesting decreased immune cell presence were associated with metastasis and poor survival. We validated these results in an independent human OS tumor cohort and in 15 different tumor data sets obtained from The Cancer Genome Atlas. Our results suggest that quantification of immune cell absence and tumor cell proliferation may better inform therapeutic decisions and improve overall survival for OS patients.<b>Significance:</b> This study offers new tools to quantify tumor heterogeneity in osteosarcoma, identifying potentially useful prognostic biomarkers for metastatic progression and survival in patients. <i>Cancer Res; 78(2); 326-37. ©2017 AACR</i>.

Parallel Plate Optics for Rapid Scanning (1947)

Rapid scanning using a paraboloid antenna is unsatisfactory; rapid movement of the antenna is mechanically impractical, while motion of the feed near the focus requires long focal length for good optical results. Another attack on the problem is to place the feed between parallel plates which produce a line source near a bifocal reflector. The energy flows along the geodesics of the mean surface between the parallel plates; the problem of shaping the plates so that a circular feed motion produces an oscillating beam at the line source becomes a problem in differential geometry and the calculus of variations. If the mean surface is assumed to consist of two developable surfaces joined along part of their boundaries, the unique solution of the optical problem is a circular disk along the edge of which the feed moves, joined to a section of a 60° cone which is straightened out at the large end to obtain a straight line source. This is the RCA solution of the problem. If the surface is assumed to consist of a surface of revolution which provides a feed circle, and attached to it a circular disk a diameter of which is the aperture, under certain natural restrictions no exact solution of the optical problem is possible, but several approximate solutions exist. Dielectric introduced between the plates of such a surface of revolution scanner effects a great improvement in the optics.
Influence of Homofermentative Lactobacilli on Physicochemical and Sensory Properties of Cheddar Cheese (1990)

ABSTRACT Cheddar cheeses were produced under pilot plant conditions using a commercial Streptococcus culture amended with one of 10 homofermentative Lactobacillus strains. During the ripening period, pH, acidity, salt, moisture, fat, texture, fissure formation, gas development and sensory status were evaluated. Lactobacillus treated cheese did not differ much from the control in pH and acidity but acidity increased substantially after draining and cheddaring. Lactobacillus numbers increased at all stages as compared with the uninoculated control. High quality Cheddar cheese was produced by L. casei‐subsp‐casei (119‐10/62) and L. casei‐subsp‐pseudoplantarum (137‐10/62) from 7 to 12 vats aged for 2 months at 15°C and for a further 10 months at 7°C or 15°C. Fissure formation was observed in cheese made with L. casei‐subsp‐rhamnosus , one of the four cultures of L. casei‐subsp‐casei (LH13) and two of the three strains of L. casei‐subsp‐pseudoplantarum (83‐4‐12/62 and L3E). Certain Lactobacillus strains produced cheese with slight flavor defects. Other strains, in particular L. casei‐subsp‐rhamnosus , contributed to high acidity (72 ‐ 0.89° domic) and low pH (5.2) at salting.
Minimizing plasma damage and <i>in situ</i> sealing of ultralow-k dielectric films by using oxygen free fluorocarbon plasmas (2005)

Ultralow-k nanocrystalline silica films with an open porosity of 30–31% and a pore radius of 0.8–0.9 nm have been etched using oxygen free highly polymerizing fluorocarbon plasma. It is shown that such plasma allows minimization of plasma damage in comparison with standard oxygen containing CF4 based plasmas and provides in situ sealing of the pores by deposition of fluorocarbon polymers in the film. We also demonstrate that the resulting surface is well suited for the nucleation and growth of atomic layer deposited WCN films. Characterization of the etched low-k dielectric by various analytical instrumentations demonstrates feasibility of this approach for integration of ultralow-k dielectric films.
Control of a Surface Photochemical Process by Fractal Electron Transport Across the Surface:  O<sub>2</sub> Photodesorption from TiO<sub>2</sub>(110) (2006)

The photodesorption of O(2) from TiO(2)(110) has been found to exhibit fractal kinetic behavior. The rate coefficient for photodesorption is measured throughout the entire experiment and is shown to decrease by a factor of approximately 100 over a time period of approximately 250 s. A model is proposed in which the electrons associated with O-vacancy defects on the surface percolate from vacancy site to vacancy site via the filled orbitals at these sites to neutralize photoproduced holes. This electron percolation, causing electron-hole recombination, reduces the efficiency of charge transfer between a photoproduced hole and an O(2)(-)(a) species localized at a vacancy defect site, causing the rate of O(2) photodesorption to follow a fractal rate law. We postulate that the fractal electron conduction path across the surface is one-dimensional.
Assessment of Metallocene Propylene Polymers for Cast Film Applications (2001)

The entry of metallocene-based products into polypropylene (pp) cast film is at a stage where their potential in various markets is now being assessed. This study reviews the structural features of some metallocene polymers and reports on resulting potential benefits in cast film applications through their use—and also with their use—in blends with Ziegler-Natta based PP.
Ultra-sensitive NEMS magnetoelectric sensor for picotesla DC magnetic field detection (2017)

We report a highly sensitive NEMS DC/low frequency magnetic field sensor consisting of an AlN/FeGaB resonator, with a ΔE effect-based sensing principle. Unlike previously reported magnetic field detection schemes, such as observing induced magnetoelectric voltage, or monitoring impedance, we designed a system to directly measure the reflected output voltage from the sensor as a function of magnetic field. The AlN/FeGaB resonator shows a resonance frequency shift of 3.19 MHz (1.44%), which leads to a high DC magnetic field sensitivity of 2.8 Hz/nT and a limit of detection of 800pT in an unshielded, room temperature and pressure, lab environment.
Regulation of 11β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase enzymes in the rat kidney by estradiol (2003)

The 11beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (11betaHSD) type 1 (11betaHSD1) enzyme is an NADP+-dependent oxidoreductase, usually reductase, of major glucocorticoids. The NAD+-dependent type 2 (11betaHSD2) enzyme is an oxidase that inactivates cortisol and corticosterone, conferring extrinsic specificity of the mineralocorticoid receptor for aldosterone. We reported that addition of a reducing agent to renal homogenates results in the monomerization of 11betaHSD2 dimers and a significant increase in NAD+-dependent corticosterone conversion. Estrogenic effects on expression, dimerization, and activity of the kidney 11betaHSD1 and -2 enzymes are described herein. Renal 11betaHSD1 mRNA and protein expressions were decreased to very low levels by estradiol (E2) treatment of both intact and castrated male rats; testosterone had no effect. NADP+-dependent enzymatic activity of renal homogenates from E2-treated rats measured under nonreducing conditions was less than that of homogenates from intact animals. Addition of 10 mM DTT to aliquots from these same homogenates abrogated the difference in NADP+-dependent activity between E2-treated and control rats. In contrast, 11betaHSD2 mRNA and protein expressions were significantly increased by E2 treatment. There was a marked increase in the number of juxtamedullary proximal tubules stained by the antibody against 11betaHSD2 after the administration of E2. Notwithstanding, neither the total corticosterone and 11-dehydrocorticosterone excreted in the urine nor their ratio differed between E2- and vehicle-treated rats. NAD+-dependent enzymatic activity in the absence or presence of a reducing agent demonstrated that the increase in 11betaHSD2 protein was not associated with an increase in in vitro activity unless the dimers were reduced to monomers.

Correlation of dynamic contrast‐enhanced MRI perfusion parameters with angiogenesis and biologic aggressiveness of rectal cancer: Preliminary results (2013)

These preliminary results suggest that the determination of kep of high K(trans) area permits the noninvasive estimation of tumor angiogenesis in rectal cancer and that DCE-MRI parameters can be used as imaging biomarkers to predict the biologic aggressiveness of the tumor and patient prognosis.
Abstract 4929: Injection of Human Neural Stem Cell Line in a Mouse Hind Limb Ischemia Model Promotes Muscle Neovascularisation (2009)

Objective: Recently, the human conditionally immortalized neural stem cell (hNSC) line, CTX0E03, has received approval from the UK MHRA for treatment, by direct intracerebral implantation, of stable stroke disability in elderly patients. We report here for the first time that intramuscular injection of the CTX0E03 hNSC line into a mouse model of hind-limb ischemia results in a repeatable significant, dose-dependent therapeutic improvement in blood flow. Methods: Unilateral limb ischemia was induced in immunodeficient (FoxnCD1 nu/nu ) mice. Suspensions of CTX0E03 cells were administered by injection into the ischemic limb adductor muscle. Five different doses of hNSCs were tested in two experiments (3 million; 1 million; 300,000 in Exp 1 and 300,000, 30,000 and 3,000 in Exp 2), with vehicle injections used as a control in both experiments (n=10/group). Laser Doppler measurements of the limbs were taken at Days 3, 7, 14 and 21. Capillary and arteriole density and absolute blood flow measurements (0.02 μ m fluorescent microspheres) were done on Day 21. Results: The three highest doses of CTX0E03 cells markedly increased the recovery of blood flow to the ischemic limb as measured by Doppler (Figure A ), adductor muscle blood flow (Figure B ) and capillary and arteriole density. The two lower doses, 30,000 and 3,000 cells produced no significant improvements. Histological analysis demonstrated CTX0E03 cell survival at Day 21 in some, but not all, of the implanted muscles. Conclusion: CTX0E03 cell therapy significantly improved clinically relevant aspects of hind limb ischemia in nude mice dose dependently by enhancing neovascularization.
A Study of Construct Fuzzy Inference Network using Neural Logic Network (2005)

This paper deals with the fuzzy modeling for the complex and uncertain nonlinear systems, in which conventional and mathematical models may fail to give satisfactory results. Finally, we provide numerical examples to evaluate the feasibility and generality of the proposed method in this paper. The expert system which introduces fuzzy logic in order to process uncertainties is called fuzzy expert system. The fuzzy expert system, however, has a potential problem which may lead to inappropriate results due to the ignorance of some information by applying fuzzy logic in reasoning process in addition to the knowledge acquisition problem. In order to overcome these problems, We construct fuzzy inference network by extending the concept of reasoning network in this paper. In the fuzzy inference network, the propositions which form fuzzy rules are represented by nodes. And these nodes have the truth values representing the belief values of each proposition. The logical operators between propositions of rules are represented by links. And the traditional propagation rule is modified.
