Salazosulfapyridine Induced Hypersensitivity Syndrome Associated with Reactivation of Humanherpes Virus 6. (2003)

A 22-year-old woman with ulcerative colitis developed skin eruptions, liver dysfunction, and atypical lymphocytes in the peripheral blood two weeks after she started taking salazosulfapyridine (SASP). Skin eruptions and liver damage were severe. Drug-induced lymphocyte stimulation test (DLST) for SASP was positive. She was diagnosed as having SASP-induced hypersensitivity syndrome (HS). Corticosteroid therapy was needed to suppress these reactions. The transient elevation of HHV-6 IgG titer paralleled the symptoms, which indicated that these reactions were associated with the reactivation of HHV-6. We suggest that HHV-6 IgG titer is one of the modalities for the diagnosis and the prediction of the clinical course of HS.
Verapamil Therapy for Persistent Antral Spasms in a Child (1996)

Little is known about the use of calcium channel blockers in children with gastric motility disorders. We report the case of an 11-year-old child who was hospitalized after 3 weeks of persistent vomiting, abdominal pain, and a 12-lb weight loss. When his symptoms failed to improve with traditional treatment, verapamil therapy was begun. Within 24 hours, his symptoms totally resolved.
Transcriptional Pattern of Genes Coding for the Proteolytic System of <i>Lactococcus lactis</i> and Evidence for Coordinated Regulation of Key Enzymes by Peptide Supply (2001)

The transcription of 16 genes encoding 12 peptidases (pepC, pepN, pepX, pepP, pepA, pepF2, pepDA1, pepDA2, pepQ, pepT, pepM, and pepO1), P(I) and P(III) proteinases (prtP1 and prtP3), and three transport systems (dtpT, dtpP, and opp-pepO1) of Lactococcus lactis MG1363 was analyzed in response to different environmental factors. Promoter fusions with luciferase reporter genes and/or mRNA analysis were used to study the effects of sugar sources, growth at 37 degrees C, and peptide supply on the transcription of these genes. Only transcription of the pepP gene is modulated by the source of sugar. The presence of potential catabolite-responsive element (CRE) boxes in its promoter region suggests that expression of this gene is directly controlled by catabolic repression. Elevated temperature had no significant effect on the level of transcription of these genes. prtP1, prtP3, pepC, pepN, pepX, and the opp-pepO1 operon are the most highly expressed genes in chemically defined medium, and their expression is repressed 5- to 150-fold by addition of peptide sources such as Casitone in the medium. Moreover, the transcription of prtP1, prtP3, pepC, pepN, and the opp-pepO1 operon is repressed two- to eight-fold by the dipeptides leucylproline and prolylleucine. The transcription of pepDA2 might also be repressed by the peptide sources, but this effect is not observed on the regulation of dtpT, pepP, pepA, pepF2, pepDA1, pepQ, pepT, pepM, and the dtpP operon. The significance of these results with respect to the functions of different components of the proteolytic system in L. lactis are discussed.
Control of Keratinization With a-Hydroxy Acids and Related Compounds (1974)

Topical preparations containing α-hydroxy acids and closely related compounds were found to exert profound effects on epidermal keratinization in ichthyosis. Therapeutically efficacious compounds include citric acid, ethyl pyruvate, glycolic acid, glucuronic acid, 3-hydroxybutyric acid, 2-hydroxyisobutyric acid, lactic acid, malic acid, methyl pyruvate, pyruvic acid, tartaric acid, and tartronic acid. These materials appear to influence the process of keratinization per se, but do not seem to be keratolytic.
Seasonal Changes in the Relationship between Serum Concentration of .BETA.-Cryptoxanthin and Serum Lipid Levels (2004)

Beta-cryptoxanthin (beta-CRX) is a carotenoid pigment found especially in Satsuma mandarin (Citrus unshiu Marc.) fruit, which is mainly produced in Japan. Previously, we found that serum beta-CRX concentrations rose to extreme levels as the frequency of consumption of Satsuma mandarin increases. Using 94 non-smoking female volunteers, the present study evaluated the relationship between serum concentration of beta-CRX and serum lipid levels in September, when the Satsuma mandarin is not in season, and in January of the next year, when it is in season. The mean of increment in serum beta-CRX concentrations from September to January was 95.9 +/- 84.0 microg/dl (mean +/- SD). Although the changes in serum lipid levels did not correlate with the changes in serum beta-CRX, the serum HDL-cholesterol and apo-lipoprotein A1 levels in the highest quartile of the increment in serum beta-CRX from September to January were significantly higher than those in the lowest quartile in both September and January. In cross-sectional analyses, serum beta-CRX concentrations were correlated positively with those of LDL-cholesterol and apo-lipoprotein B levels in September, but these correlations were not observed in January. In contrast, serum beta-CRX concentrations were correlated positively with those of HDL-cholesterol and apo-lipoprotein A1 levels in January. These results suggest that habitual eating of Satsuma mandarin while it is in season may influence lipid metabolism throughout the year.

Enforcing programming conventions by attribute extension in an open compiler (1997)

A problem in supporting reusability of libraries and frameworks is that the programming conventions which need to be followed are only informally described. Safer reuse would result if these conventions could be enforced, preferably at compile time. This paper suggests a technique for this by means of an extensible attribute-grammar based compiler.
Improved hard-decision decoding LDPC Codec IP design (2012)

This paper presents an area efficient low density parity check (LDPC) encoder/decoder (Codec) implementation which can deliver high throughput performance and error correction capability for flash memory controller. In order to reduce the size of memory to store variable node LLR values, flooding schedule with column-by-column decoding architecture is exploited for the decoder. The encoder architecture provides area efficient encoding by using the specially designed H-matrix structure. The LDPC Codec IP is implemented with 700Kgates of 45nm standard CMOS technology of Samsung ASIC library and can support decoding data of 400MB/s from NAND flash without compromising the error correction capability up to raw bit-error-rate (BER) range of 2.5E-3 by hard-decision decoding mode.

Link adaptation based on adaptive modulation and coding for multiple-antenna OFDM system (2008)

In this paper, we study the problem of link adaptation based on adaptive modulation and coding for multiple antenna OFDM system in slow fading channel. Based on the extrinsic information transfer analysis, we give an accurate packet error rate prediction with channel estimation errors. This method uses Gaussian approximation to characterize the output of the detector and decoder. We also discuss approaches for searching and selecting the best modulation and coding scheme for the link adaptation algorithm. Finally, the performance of the proposed link adaptation algorithm is studied for the IEEE 802.11n multiple-antenna OFDM system. Good system throughput are achieved using the proposed method, compared to the SNR based algorithm.
Mast cells and tumor angiogenesis (1976)

Tumor angiogenesis factor (TAF) elicits a strong vasoproliferative response when implanted upon the chorioallantoic membrane (CAM) of the chick embryo. This response is first observed stereomicroscopically 2-3 days after implantation. A 40-fold increase in mast cell density is observed within the vicinity of this implant by 24 h. Mast cells that have been isolated from retired breeder Sprague-Dawley rats fail to evoke a vascular reaction when implanted on the CAM. An intermediate role for the mast cell in tumor angiogenesis is suggested.
Classifying social groups and change point detection for prioritizing social data (2011)

Internet technologies and web based social networking have seen wide adopted in the recent years and the user is exposed to lots of data from his friends and acquaintances. The data presented to the user needs to be filtered based on his current state and prioritized. In this paper we propose a method for identifying change points related to busy and free periods based on mobile phone call detail records. This could be used to measure the level of willingness level of users for social interaction. This work is useful for preparing elastic list of updates from close friends and also in optimizing the caching of recent updates at mobile handsets. For validation of our results, we used actual call logs of 100 users collected at MIT. The experimental results show that our method is able to detect the bands achieves results with high accuracy.
Nucleotide sequence and expression of a<i>Pseudomonas savastanoi</i>cytokinin biosynthetic gene: homotogy with<i>Agrobacterium tumefaciens tmr</i>and<i>tzs</i>loci (1986)

The nucleotide sequence of a Pseudomonas trans-zeatin producing gene (ptz) from the pCK1 plasmid of Pseudomonas syringae pv. savastanoi strain 1006 has been determined. This gene confers upon E. coli the ability to synthesize and secrete several cytokinins including trans-zeatin, iso-pentenyladenine and their respective N9-ribosyl derivatives. Sequence analysis indicates an open reading frame encoding a protein of 234 amino acids with a molecular weight of 26,816. Significant sequence homology is found between ptz and both the tzs and tmr genes from Agrobacterium tumefaciens. The results suggest a close relationship between the cytokinin biosynthetic pathways in P. savastanoi and A. tumefaciens.
Near-Infrared Imaging of Injured Tissue in Living Subjects Using IR-820 (2009)

The unprecedented increase in preclinical studies necessitates high-throughput, inexpensive, and straightforward methods for evaluating diseased tissues. Near-infrared imaging of live subjects is a versatile, cost-effective technology that can be effectively used in a variety of pathologic conditions. We have characterized an inexpensive optoelectronic chemical, IR-820, as an infrared blood pool contrast agent to detect and quantify diseased tissue in live animals. IR-820 has maximal excitation and emission wavelengths of 710 and 820 nm, respectively. IR-820 emission is significantly improved in vivo on serum binding to albumin, and elimination occurs predominantly via the gastrointestinal tract. We demonstrate the utility of this contrast agent for serially imaging of traumatized tissue (muscle), tissue following reperfusion (eg, stroke), and tumors. IR-820 can also be employed to map regional lymph nodes. This novel contrast agent is anticipated to be a useful and an inexpensive tool for screening a wide variety of preclinical models of human diseases.
Ho laser with 50-W output and 6.5% slope efficiency (1975)

We report the observation of continuous high-power laser emission from sensitized YAG. The crystal was immersed in flowing liquid oxygen precooled to 77 K. With a linear tungsten-halogen lamp in a single-ellipse pumping configuration an output power of 50 W with a 6.5% slope efficiency was obtained.
High performance CMOS current comparator design (1996)

The paper describes some design aspects in the implementation of CMOS current comparators. More specifically, techniques for offset and charge-injection compensations are discussed in detail, and some basic topologies for compensated current comparators are presented and compared by SPICE simulations. Moreover, a novel compensated fully differential current comparator is proposed which achieves a very high performance. It provides a sensitivity as low as 20 nA and a switching time better than 30 ns with a 0.5 /spl mu/A input step current while dissipating 45 /spl mu/W.

Real-Space Mapping of the Strongly Coupled Plasmons of Nanoparticle Dimers (2009)

We carried out the near-field optical imaging of isolated and dimerized gold nanocubes to directly investigate the strong coupling between two adjacent nanoparticles. The high-resolution (∼10 nm) local field maps (intensities and phases) of self-assembled nanocube dimers reveal antisymmetric plasmon modes that are starkly different from a simple superposition of two monomeric dipole plasmons, which is fully reproduced by the electrodynamics simulations. The result decisively proves that, for the closely spaced pair of nanoparticles (interparticle distance/particle size ∼0.04), the strong Coulombic attraction between the charges at the interparticle gap dominates over the intraparticle charge oscillations, resulting in a hybridized dimer plasmon mode that is qualitatively different from those expected from a simple dipole−dipole coupling model.
Ocean Wave Detection and Direction Measurements with Microwave Radars (1978)

Electromagnetic energy at microwave frequencies is backscattered by the short-wave component of the ocean wave spectrum. Complex scattering models, which include both Bragg resonance and Rayleigh scattering, have been postulated to describe the amplitude of radar return. The actual return is complicated by the intensity and distribution of the facets of infra-gravity waves. Furthermore, long gravity waves modulate short waves, their tilt and displacement depending on their instantaneous position relative to the long wave profile and extraneous vector quantities such as surface current gradients. As the maximum modulation is in the direction of wave motion, the discernibility of ocean waves is dependent on the radar look direction. Waves traveling or containing components in the azimuth direction (along track direction of the flight) are sensitive to defocusing due to Doppler shifts in the case of the synthetic aperture radar (SAR), introduced primarily by velocity components such as perturbations due to long wave orbital velocities, Bragg wave velocities, and surface current velocities. For a given velocity component, defocusing is greater at L-band frequencies than at X-band, resulting from the longer residence time of a moving target in the L-band aperture, given equivalent resolution. The principal uses of radar imagery for wave studies are to derive direction and length information. While length and direction are determinable from the radar signal, the accuracy with which this information can be established had to be tested against more conventional ocean instrumentation. Data obtained with a pitch-and-roll buoy and current meters were compared to X-band SAR wave imagery obtained simultaneously over a test site offshore of Florida. Analysis shows that the wave direction at the peak frequency of the wave spectrum from buoy and current meter measurements agrees with the frequency-averaged radar directions within 2 degrees. Agreement in the data is considered exceptional, given that the measurements were made in 8-12 m water depth, where wave refraction is strong. Shore-based radars have also been used to derive wave direction and length information. Comparison between the measured wave directions for the principal wave trains, as seen on aerial photographs and shore-based radar images, simultaneously obtained show agreements within 3 degrees. In the case of airborne real-aperture radars, wave length information derived from the radar is in good agreement with that determined from simultaneous laser profilometer spectra, and the direction observed is essentially the same as the local wind. With case-by-case determination of the modulation depth and focusing parameters, the SEASAT-A L-band SAR will produce much needed information for wave refraction studies on continental shelves.

The Practice of Questioning (2025)

First published in 1990, The Practice of Questioning integrates theory, research, and practice from a wide range of disciplines, with a strong emphasis on practical application. It examines the use of questions in diverse contexts, including classrooms, courtrooms, psychotherapy, medical clinics, personnel interviews, interrogations, journalism, and survey and opinion polls. Detailed schemes of practice are extensively illustrated with real transcripts of question-and-answer exchanges across various settings. The book also provides techniques for situations where questioning appears ineffective, offering actionable strategies to improve outcomes. Every aspect of questioning is demonstrated in real-world scenarios, grounded in a solid understanding of theory and research. The Practice of Questioning is the most comprehensive, informed, and practical guide for professionals whose work relies on the art of questioning.
The Tail of Integrins, Talin, and Kindlins (2009)

Integrins are transmembrane cell-adhesion molecules that carry signals from the outside to the inside of the cell and vice versa. Like other cell surface receptors, integrins signal in response to ligand binding; however, events within the cell can also regulate the affinity of integrins for ligands. This feature is important in physiological situations such as those in blood, in which cells are always in close proximity to their ligands, yet cell-ligand interactions occur only after integrin activation in response to specific external cues. This review focuses on the mechanisms whereby two key proteins, talin and the kindlins, regulate integrin activation by binding the tails of integrin-beta subunits.
Nebulized Ceftazidime and Amikacin in Ventilator-associated Pneumonia Caused by <i>Pseudomonas aeruginosa</i> (2011)

Nebulization and intravenous infusion of ceftazidime and amikacin provide similar efficiency for treating ventilator-associated pneumonia caused by Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Nebulization is efficient against intermediate strains and may prevent per-treatment acquisition of antibiotic resistance.
Precision of epicenters obtained by small numbers of world-wide stations (1969)

abstract A fundamental error in the application of the confidence ellipse concept to the estimation of location error is demonstrated. The change in procedure required to be statistically sound and to achieve agreement with observations is explained and illustrated. The resultant procedure is then applied to the estimation of the network detection capability on a world-wide basis of the WWSSN.
Hot-carrier degradation behavior of thin-film SOI nMOSFET with isolation scheme and buried oxide thickness (2000)

Hot-carrier degradation behavior of thin-film SOI (silicon-on-insulator) nMOSFETs with various isolation techniques and buried oxide (BOX) thickness has been investigated focused on the stress behavior in the SOI structure. LOCOS (local oxidation of silicon) and STI (shallow trench isolation) processes are used as isolation techniques. Buried oxide thickness is 100 and 400 nm, respectively. From the isolation point of view, STI-processed SOI devices have better hot-carrier immunity than LOCOS-isolated SOI devices. In terms of BOX thickness, the thick BOX case has better hot-carrier degradation characteristics than the thin one. It is found that STI process and thick BOX cases induce smaller stress than LOCOS process and thin BOX cases, resulting in better hot-carrier immunity.
A MAP Framework for Efficient Skip/Code Mode Decision in H.264 (2006)

While the H.264 standard offers improved compression efficiency compared with prior video coding standards, this efficiency arises at the cost of significant complexity. We present a reduced complexity coding algorithm which estimates, prior to coding each macroblock, whether the coder would choose the skip or code mode for the macroblock. Computation savings are achieved, since pre-coding of skipped macroblocks is avoided. The decision to skip a macroblock is based on estimating and modelling mode cost differences, and employing these models in a MAP framework. Results are shown which indicate that for low-activity sequences savings of over 70% in computation time can be achieved with little or no decrease in video quality.
The yeast cell-cycle network is robustly designed (2004)

The interactions between proteins, DNA, and RNA in living cells constitute molecular networks that govern various cellular functions. To investigate the global dynamical properties and stabilities of such networks, we studied the cell-cycle regulatory network of the budding yeast. With the use of a simple dynamical model, it was demonstrated that the cell-cycle network is extremely stable and robust for its function. The biological stationary state, the G1 state, is a global attractor of the dynamics. The biological pathway, the cell-cycle sequence of protein states, is a globally attracting trajectory of the dynamics. These properties are largely preserved with respect to small perturbations to the network. These results suggest that cellular regulatory networks are robustly designed for their functions.
Direct Observation of Coherent Interorbital Spin-Exchange Dynamics (2014)

We report on the first direct observation of fast spin-exchange coherent oscillations between different long-lived electronic orbitals of ultracold 173Yb fermions. We measure, in a model-independent way, the strength of the exchange interaction driving this coherent process. This observation allows us to retrieve important information on the interorbital collisional properties of 173Yb atoms and paves the way to novel quantum simulations of paradigmatic models of two-orbital quantum magnetism.
