Evalution of Vibro-Tactile Feedback to the Human Arm (2006)

This paper investigates the main factors influencing the designing of a vibrotactile feedback device for the human arm. Beside the determination of hardware settings, e.g. vibration motor type (pancake or cylindrical) and intensity threshold, this pa...
Effects of Elevated Female Sex Steroids on Ethanol and Acetaldehyde Metabolism in Humans (1984)

Two groups (n = 20 each for pill and no pill groups) of young female social drinkers were tested with an acute ethanol dose (0.52 g/kg) as a 20% solution in water. Ethanol pharmacokinetics and acetaldehyde were repeatedly assayed from breath by a gas chromatograph. Cardiovascular indices were concurrently recorded. Groups did not differ on ethanol pharmacokinetics. However, the group on birth control pills reached a significantly higher acetaldehyde concentration than did the group of normally cycling females not on birth control pills (3.26 ng/ml vs. 1.45 ng/ml). Further, the pill (P) group showed significantly greater vasodilation 20 min postdrink as indexed by ear lobe plethysmography than did the no pill (NP) group (P = 160.3% vs. NP = 113.9%). Results are consistent with the interpretation that female sex steroids modulate aldehyde dehydrogenase function. Practical implications are that females with elevated steroids (either pregnant or on birth control pills) may be at greater risk for toxic effects of ethanol consumption.
Periosteal Progenitor Cell Fate in Segmental Cortical Bone Graft Transplantations: Implications for Functional Tissue Engineering (2005)

The marked improvement of healing in these cellularized allografts suggests a clinical strategy for engineering a functional periosteum to improve the osteogenic and angiogenic properties of processed allografts.
300 K operation of a GaAs-based quantum-cascade laser at λ≈9 μm (2001)

The room-temperature (300 K), pulsed mode operation of a GaAs-based quantum-cascade laser is presented. This has been achieved by the use of a GaAs/Al0.45Ga0.55As heterostructure which offers the maximum Γ–Γ band offset (390 meV) for this material system without inducing the presence of indirect barrier states. Thus, better electron confinement is achieved, countering the loss of injection efficiency with temperature. These devices show ∼100 K increase in operating temperature with respect to equivalent designs using an GaAs/Al0.33Ga0.67As heterostructure. We also measure 600 mW peak power at 233 K a temperature readily accessible by Peltier coolers.
Tracking system by phase conjugation for laser energy transmission (2007)

We propose a new concept for a retro-directive tracking system applicable for communication and power transmission. In the proposed concept, the power transmitter utilizes a beacon emitted from the receiver to obtain information about its direction by conjugating its phase inside a nonlinear medium. Power is therefore transmitted back to the receiver by the phase conjugated beam. The power can be amplified by an array of phase conjugators which provides a large aperture so that the intensity can be increased on the receiver's photovoltaic panels compared to a single element. A system design provides the basic understanding of this setup and basic experiments are conducted with two Co-doped Sr<sub>x</sub>Ba<sub>1-x</sub>Nb<sub>2</sub>O<sub>6</sub> (Co:SBN) crystals. We confirm the occurrence of interference of two beams that are generated by four wave mixing from a divergent signal beam. In areas of constructive interference, we could observe a higher intensity than the single non-interfering beams provides.
Early detection of virus infection in live human cells using Raman spectroscopy (2018)

Virus infection of a human cell was determined only 3 h after invagination. We used viral vector Ad-CMV-control (AdC), which lacks the E1 gene coding for early polypeptide 1 (E1). AdC can replicate in human embryonic kidney 293 (HEK293) cells into which the E1 gene has been transfected. According to partial least-square regression discriminant analysis, it was assumed that two kinds of reaction take place in the cell during viral invasion. The first response of the cell was determined 3 h after the virus invasion, and the second one was determined ∼9 h later. The first one seems to be due to compositional changes in DNA. Analysis of large-scale datasets strongly indicated that the second reaction can be attributed to a reduction in protein concentration or uptake of phenylalanine into the nucleus.

Primary healthcare response to family violence: a Delphi evaluation tool. (2012)

The evaluation tool represents a best practice standard enabling focused family violence intervention programme development and quality improvement within primary healthcare settings. A standardised evaluation tool may be useful in guiding programme development. Future evaluations will enable individual and national benchmarking activities, using category, overall and target scores to measure progress across settings and over time.
Signal Quality Estimation With Multichannel Adaptive Filtering in Intensive Care Settings (2012)

A signal quality estimate of a physiological waveform can be an important initial step for automated processing of real-world data. This paper presents a new generic point-by-point signal quality index (SQI) based on adaptive multichannel prediction that does not rely on ad hoc morphological feature extraction from the target waveform. An application of this new SQI to photoplethysmograms (PPG), arterial blood pressure (ABP) measurements, and ECG showed that the SQI is monotonically related to signal-to-noise ratio (simulated by adding white Gaussian noise) and to subjective human quality assessment of 1361 multichannel waveform epochs. A receiver-operating-characteristic (ROC) curve analysis, with the human "bad" quality label as positive and the "good" quality label as negative, yielded areas under the ROC curve of 0.86 (PPG), 0.82 (ABP), and 0.68 (ECG).
Use of Block Copolymer-Stabilized Cadmium Sulfide Quantum Dots as Novel Tracers for Laser Scanning Confocal Fluorescence Imaging of Blend Morphology in Polystyrene/Poly(methyl methacrylate) Films (2005)

This paper describes the first use of polymer-coated quantum dots (QDs) as fluorescent tracers for LSCFM imaging of phase morphology in polymer blends. Cadmium sulfide (CdS) QDs stabilized at the surface with a PS-b-PAA block copolymer are shown to be well dispersed via their polystyrene (PS) brush layer in the PS phase of solvent-cast 40/60 (w/w) PS/PMMA blends. The QDs are excluded from the PMMA phase, providing excellent fluorescence contrast for LSCFM imaging of the phase-separated blends. The presence of PS-b-PAA-stabilized QDs does not appear to affect the blend morphology, since the observed morphologies are the same when the percentage of QDs within the PS phase is varied from 10 to 50 wt %. These QD fluorescent tracers are used to characterize several aspects of blend morphology in solvent-cast 40/60 PS/PMMA blends containing PS homopolymer with either 100 (low molecular weight) or 1250 (high molecular weight) repeat units. In the PS(1250)/PMMA blends, a percolating distribution of PMMA droplets (2-25 mum) in a PS matrix is observed in the bulk, and a distinct inversion in the continuous phase is found near the glass substrate. In the PS(100)/PMMA blends, a "phase-in-phase" morphology is found, consisting of large PS domains (20-100 mum) dispersed in a PMMA continuous phase and small PMMA domains (1-2 mum) scattered throughout the larger PS droplets. The observed change in blend structure is attributed to a lower interfacial tension for the lower molecular weight PS.
Galectin-1-mediated biochemical controls of melanoma and glioma aggressive behavior (2011)

Gliomas and melanomas are associated with dismal prognosis because of their marked intrinsic resistance to proapoptotic stimuli, such as conventional chemotherapy and radiotherapy, as well as their ability to escape immune cell attacks. In addition, gliomas and melanomas display pronounced neoangiogenesis. Galectin-1 is a hypoxia-sensitive protein, which is abundantly secreted by glioma and melanoma cells, which displays marked proangiogenic effects. It also provides immune tolerogenic environments to melanoma and glioma cells through the killing of activated T cells that attack these tumor cells. Galectin-1 protects glioma and melanoma cells against cytotoxic insults (including chemotherapy and radiotherapy) through a direct role in the unfolded protein response. Altogether, these facts clearly point to galectin-1 as an important target to be combated in gliomas and melanomas in order to: (1) weaken the defenses of these two types of cancers against radiotherapy, chemotherapy and immunotherapy/vaccine therapy; and (2) reinforce antiangiogenic therapies. In the present article, we review the biochemical and molecular biology-related pathways controlled by galectin-1, which are actually beneficial for melanoma and glioma cells, and therefore detrimental for melanoma and glioma patients.
The First Rigid O,C,O-Pincer Ligand and Its Application for the Synthesis of Penta- and Hexacoordinate Organotin(IV) Compounds (1998)

The synthesis of the aryldiphosphonic ester C6H2[P(O)(OEt)2]2-1,3-t-Bu-5 (2) and of its organotin derivatives C6H2[P(O)(OEt)2]2-2,6-t-Bu-4-RR‘2Sn-1 (5, R = R‘ = Me; 6, R = R‘ = Ph; 7, R = Ph, R‘ = Cl; 8, R = Ph, R‘ = Br) is reported. Also reported is the preparation of the organosilicon and organotin compounds C6H2[P(O)(OEt)2]2-2,4-Me3Si-1 (3), C6H2[P(O)(OEt)2]2-2,4-(Me3Si)2-1,5 (4), C6H3[P(O)(OEt)2]2-2,4-Ph2RSn-1 (9, R = Ph; 12, R = Br), and C6H3[P(O)(OEt)2]2-2,4-(Ph2RSn)2-1,5 (10, R = Ph; 11, R = Br). X-ray investigations reveal weak intramolecular Sn−O interactions for 6 (2.865(3)−3.063(4) Å), 9 (2.803(3) Å), and 10 (2.793(2) Å) but strong Sn−O coordinations for 7 (2.203(5)/2.278(6) Å) and 11 (2.379(3)/2.412(3) Å), indicating the high donor capacity of the new rigid O,C,O- and O,C-chelating ligands in these compounds. NMR studies confirm that the basic coordination geometry found in the solid state is maintained in solution.
Using Computerized Clinical Practice Guidelines to Generate Tailored Patient Education Materials (2005)

In this paper we present a novel approach to generate tailored patient education materials by using an evidence-based clinical practice guideline to model patients and direct the selection of relevant education content. We converted a Canadian guideline for managing dyslipidemia into the XML-based GEM formalism, and then modified it to support the tailoring of patient education material. We created the information content suitable for tailored messages, along with a document structure needed to present them. A rules engine was developed to process the newly converted GEM-based guideline and create the tailored documents based on patient data entered.

Studies on Biologically Active Guanidinopyrimidines Part II. : Effect of Guanidinopyrimidines on Phytopathogens (1979)

Fifteen new guanidinopyrimidine derivatives were prepared and their fungicidal and antiviral activities were examined. The quantitative structure-activity relationship was also examined. At a relatively high concentration 2_benzylguanidino-4-phenyl-6-methylpyrimidine was as effective as validamycin against Pelliculuria sasakii and as edifenphos against Pyricularia oryzae. 2-Phenylpropylguanidino-4-phenyl-6-methylpyrimidine effectively blocked the invasion by Pseudoperonospora cubensis. In the antiviral test against TMV, some compounds were fairly effective at 100 ppm level.
El problema de los incendios forestales en España (2005)

En los ultimos anos millones de hectareas forestales han sido recorridas por el fuego en todo el mundo con perdidas de vidas humanas, destruccion de bienes economicos, graves consecuencias medioambientales, perdida de diversidad biologica, aceleracion de los 
procesos erosivos del suelo y emision de compuestos que empeoran la composicion y funcionamiento de la atmosfera. La gravedad de estos danos y sus efectos devastadores se han hecho tan evidentes que finalmente han dado lugar a una corriente de opinion publica que reclama soluciones urgentes para este problema tan complejo. Para demostrar que el problema de los incendios forestales no es exclusivo de unos pocos 
paises el documento hace una primera referencia breve en el ambito mundial, reflejando que las perdidas anuales en los bosques a causa de los incendios sobrepasan cualquier cifra soportable. A nivel europeo pasa revista a los incendios ocurridos en los paises mediterraneos de la Union Europea y constata su evolucion en numero y superficie, para lo 
cual utiliza la serie historica a partir del ano 1980. 
Estudia tambien el problema en Espana con la evolucion anual del numero de incendios y las superficies afectadas en el mismo periodo; destaca asimismo la importancia de la evaluacion de los danos producidos desde los puntos de vista economico y ambiental, para entrar de lleno en el analisis de las causas y motivaciones, lo que ha permitido definir posibles soluciones, en los marcos legislativo, competencial y judicial, y mediante la adopcion de medidas disuasorias que eviten la repeticion de estos siniestros.

The Effect of Low-Dose Continuous Estrogen and Progesterone Therapy with Calcium and Vitamin D on Bone in Elderly Women (1999)

Continuous low-dose HRT with conjugated equine estrogen and oral medroxyprogesterone combined with adequate calcium and vitamin D provides a bone-sparing effect that is similar or superior to that provided by other, higher-dose HRT regimens in elderly women. This combination is well tolerated by most patients.
Keystroke Dynamics Overview (2011)

Everybody needs to authenticate himself on his computer before using it, or even before using different applications (email, e-commerce, intranet, . . . ). Most of the times, the adopted authentication procedure is the use of a classical couple of login and password. In order to be efficient and secure, the user must adopt a strict management of its credentials (regular changing of the password, use of different credentials for different services, use of a strong password containing various types of characters and no word contained in a dictionary). As these conditions are quite strict and difficult to be applied for most users, they do not not respect them. This is a big security flaw in the authentication mechanism (Conklin et al., 2004). According to the 2002 NTA Monitor Password Survey1, a study done on 500 users shows that there is approximately 21 passwords per user, 81% of them use common passwords and 30% of them write their passwords down or store them in a file. Hence, password-based solutions suffer from several security drawbacks. A solution to this problem, is the use of strong authentication....
Enhanced photoluminescence from porous silicon by hydrogen-plasma etching (2005)

Porous silicon (PS) was etched by hydrogen plasma. On the surface a large number of silicon nanocone arrays and nanocrystallites were formed. It is found that the photoluminescence of the H-etched porous silicon is highly enhanced. Correspondingly, three emission centers including red, green, and blue emissions are shown to contribute to the enhanced photoluminescence of the H-etched PS, which originate from the recombination of trapped electrons with free holes due to SiO bonding at the surface of the silicon nanocrystallites, the quantum size confinement effect, and oxygen vacancy in the surface SiO2 layer, respectively. In particular, the increase of SiOx(x&lt;2) formed on the surface of the H-etched porous silicon plays a very important role in enhancing the photoluminescence properties.
Effect of cobalt on the synthesis and degradation of hepatic catalse <i>in vivo</i> (1974)

1. The administration of CoCl(2) to rats caused a decrease in hepatic catalase activity as well as a decrease in the amount of catalase protein as measured by immunological assay. The mitochondrial enzyme decreased progressively over 2 days, whereas the cytosol enzyme decreased over 12h and then remained essentially unchanged for 2 days after a single injection of cobalt. 2. Incorporation of [(14)C]glycine into catalase haem was dramatically decreased by a single injection of cobalt, but that into catalase protein remained essentially unaltered. 3. Incorporation of [(3)H]leucine into liver protein increased in rats in a steady state receiving a daily injection of cobalt, which was in contrast with a marked inhibition observed in 5-amino[(3)H]laevulinate incorporation. 4. The initial rate of [(3)H]leucine incorporation into mitochondrial and cytosol catalase did not alter or was slightly depressed in the cobalt-treated animals, whereas the incorporation of 5-amino[(3)H]laevulinate into mitochondrial and cytosol catalase was conspicuously decreased, indicating that haem synthesis was limiting catalase formation. 5. The degradation rate of catalase protein, as measured by a double-labelling method, was not changed by the cobalt treatment.
Structure-based design and biochemical evaluation of sulfanilamide derivatives as hepatitis B virus capsid assembly inhibitors (2012)

Virus capsid structure is essential in virion maturation and durability, so disrupting capsid assembly could be an effective way to reduce virion count and cure viral diseases. However, currently there is no known antiviral which affects capsid inhibition, and only a small number of assembly inhibitors were experimentally successful. In this present study, we aimed to find hepatitis B virus (HBV) capsid assembly inhibitor which binds to the HBV core protein and changes protein conformation. Several candidate molecules were found to bind to certain structure in core protein with high specificity. Furthermore, these molecules significantly changed the protein conformation and reduced assembly affinity of core protein, leading to decrease of the number of assembled capsid or virion, both in vitro and in vivo. In addition, prediction also suggests that improvements in inhibition efficiency could be possible by changing functional groups and ring structures.

Bend loss in all-solid bandgap fibres (2006)

Experimental measurements of all-solid photonic bandgap fibres with an array of high-index rods in a low-index background revealed an unexpected variation of bend loss across different bandgaps. This behaviour was confirmed by calculations of photonic band structure, and explained with reference to the differing field distributions of the modes of the cladding rods. Our understanding was confirmed by further experiments, leading to proposals for the improvement of these fibres.
