Treatment was initiated with clobetasol propionate, and later hydroxychloroquine was added to deal with the JLI which proved unresponsive to the topical steroid. | T12924: Dermatological and Skeletal Disorders | 13: Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology | 1311: Genetics | 1: Life Sciences |
W1969930350 | <TITLE> A unified access to diverse heteroaromatic scaffolds using the radical chemistry of xanthates
<ABSTRACT> The degenerate transfer of xanthates allows generally difficult radical transformations, such as intermolecular additions to unactivated alkenes and cyclisations onto aromatic and heteroaromatic rings, to be accomplished under very practical experimental conditions. This translates into numerous approaches for the construction or modification of heteroaromatic structures. The present report aims to provide a brief overview of the various synthetic possibilities, with particular emphasis on medicinally interesting families of compounds. | T10701: Radical Photochemical Reactions | 16: Chemistry | 1605: Organic Chemistry | 3: Physical Sciences |

W2012914935 | <TITLE> Modification and Control of Rate of Speaking by Stutterers
<ABSTRACT> Frequency and percentage of words stuttered by three adult stutterers were assessed under conditions designed to modify and control rate of speaking. Target rates of 50 above base rate, 50 below base rate, and base rate were sought in experimental periods by online signalling of proximity to the target rate. A criterion of rate control was met by two subjects who reduced their frequency and percentage of words stuttered in the 50belowbase rate condition. Some reduced stuttering occurred in other conditions. | T12684: Stuttering Research and Treatment | 32: Psychology | 3203: Clinical Psychology | 2: Social Sciences |

<ABSTRACT> the division of opinion as to the place of religion in the thought of Thomas Hobbes figures today as perhaps the key facet of a general rift in understanding the philosophers thought and work. A recent conference at University College, London, 1 confirms this observation, but readers of this journal had some time before 2 witnessed an encounter between Edwin Curley, University of Michigan, and A. P. Martinich, University of Texas, which laid out lines of argument that continue to figure in the debate. 3 | T12517: Seventeenth-Century Political and Philosophical Thought | 12: Arts and Humanities | 1211: Philosophy | 2: Social Sciences |

<ABSTRACT> The use of rigid connectors between pontics and retainers is common for conventional bridges. Restoration of two missing teeth and an intermediate pier abutment with a rigid bridge is not an ideal treatment. In this report a resin bonded bridge with a nonrigid connector within the pontic distal to the pier abutment was constructed and remained in place without debonding for seven years. | T12367: Dental Trauma and Treatments | 36: Health Professions | 3604: Emergency Medical Services | 4: Health Sciences |
W1823199479 | <TITLE> Computation of conformal maps by modified schwarzchristoffel transformations
<ABSTRACT> In this thesis we explore four issues regarding the use of the SchwarzChristoffel transformation and related methods as robust conformal mapping techniques. The first of these, the crowding phenomenon, makes maps onto even mildly elongated regions so illconditioned they may be impossible to calculate. We overcome this difficulty by implementing a transformation, similar to the SchwarzChristoffel formula, which uses an infinite strip as the standard domain. The mapping function itself is not original it has previously been used by others to compute maps onto open channels for internal flow computations. The interpretation in terms of crowding is original, however, and we also present a new modification for mapping elongated rectangles onto closed polygons. By using robust and efficient software for numerical integration and solution of the parameter problem, we successfully map difficult regions with aspect ratios of up to thousands to one. Second, we survey a number of techniques for numerically evaluating SchwarzChristoffel integrals, including the compound GaussJacobi algorithm, singularity removal methods, and several adaptive quadrature subroutines. The GaussJacobi method is shown to be faster than its nearest competitor by roughly a factor of two we recommend it for all applications unless strict error bounds are required. Third, all SchwarzChristoffel methods require the solution of a system of nonlinear algebraic equations. We examine two approaches to this problem that have appeared in the literature, Daviss iterative scheme and Trefethens formulation as a nonlinear system. We show that Daviss method is difficult to generalize and is not always even locally convergent, and prove that although Trefethens method never diverges locally, it too may diverge from distant starting points. A generalization of the SchwarzChristoffel formula describes conformal maps onto regions bounded by arbitrary arcs of circles as solutions to a nonlinear ordinary differential equation. We present improvements in methods for integration of the differential equation, normalization of approximate solutions, specification of the accessory parameters, formulation of the nonlinear system, and selection of appropriate starting points involving a minimum amount of distortion.

W1515111555 | <TITLE> How to Practice Copyright Law Internationally in Perplexing Times
<ABSTRACT> How to handle crossborder copyright cases? After broaching my professional perspective on point, I raise questions of method To start, how, in such a case, to analyze issues that may be subject to conceptually diverse laws? Further, of what help are the international copyright treaties in providing common notions for such analysis? Finally, what rules may govern choosing laws to decide such issues as are key to the case at bar? With provisional answers to these questions in mind, I explain guidelines for analyzing issues, and for hedging risks, in crossborder cases First, map out arguably infringing transactions worldwide. Second, unpack grounds for protection wherever infringement is localized. Third, consider rights and defenses available there in terms of remedies. Fourth, trace claimants chain of title to the rights asserted. Fifth, shop for a favorable forum, but do so cautiously. | T12767: Conflict of Laws and Jurisdiction | 33: Social Sciences | 3320: Political Science and International Relations | 2: Social Sciences |
W140195455 | <TITLE> The influence of thermal aging on the microstructure and fatigue properties of modified 9Cr1Mo steel
<ABSTRACT> Results of elevatedtemperature low cycle fatigue and creepfatigue tests are for one heat of modified 9Cr1Mo steel in the normalized and tempered condition, after preaging 50,000 h at 538 and 593C, and after preaging for 75,000 h at 538C. These data show that preaging reduces the low cycle fatigue and creepfatigue lives in comparison to unaged material. The magnitude of these reductions are discussed along with the impact of preaging on the creepfatigue damage diagrams. The effect of environment on creepfatigue life of unaged modified 9Cr1Mo steels is also addressed. Transmission electron microscopy explains changes in mechanical properties due to thermal aging. In the unaged alloy, TEM shows that dynamic recoveryrecrystallization is occurring after significant straininduced dislocation hardening around a stationary and stable array of astempered carbides during creepfatigue. In contrast creepfatigue testing of the preaged alloy produced a much coarser cellular subgrain structure and dislocation recovery without recrystallization. Aging causes astempered carbide dissolution andor reprecipitation together with additional precipitation of Laves Fesub 2Mo phase, which removes some of the precipitatestrengthening effects, and depletes solidsolution hardening effects on the dislocation networks and subgrain boundary structures. | T10840: High Temperature Alloys and Creep | 22: Engineering | 2210: Mechanical Engineering | 3: Physical Sciences |

<ABSTRACT> The stereoselective synthesis of a taxol intermediate via a biomimetic route is described. Aldol condensation of γbutyrolactone and citral derivatives generated three stereogenic centers at positions C1, C2, and C11 corresponding to taxol. Intramolecular alkylation of the cyanohydrin ether efficiently formed the 12membered ring system in which stereoselective reduction, followed by directed epoxidation, afforded the key intermediate epoxide. | T11549: Synthetic Organic Chemistry Methods | 16: Chemistry | 1605: Organic Chemistry | 3: Physical Sciences |
W1571878228 | <TITLE> The Flow Characteristic of a Horizontal Immiscible EqualDensity LiquidLiquid TwoPhase Flow. 2nd Report, Comparison of Analytical Results with Experimental Results on Volumetric Fraction and Frictional Pressure Loss.
<ABSTRACT> In order to clarify the flow characteristics of twophase flows in pipes under microgravity, general correlations on the volumetric fraction and the frictional pressure loss in the pipe were obtained from the theoretical analysis based on an annular flow model. They were compared with the experimental results which were obtained in an immiscible equaldensity silicone oilwater two phase flow in a horizontal tube of 25 mm in I.D. and also in a saturated R114 twophase flow under microgravity in an aircraft. As a result, the calculated results of the frictional pressure loss were found to agree well with the experimental results by taking the values of 10 to 100 as the constant B for interfacial friction in the silicone oilwater liquidliquid twophase flow and values B close to 10 in the saturated R114 twophase flow. | T10864: Fluid Dynamics and Mixing | 22: Engineering | 2204: Biomedical Engineering | 3: Physical Sciences |
W4322621084 | <TITLE> Defensiveness and Identity
<ABSTRACT> Abstract Criticism can sometimes provoke defensive reactions, particularly when it implicates identities people hold dear. For instance, feminists told they are upholding rape culture might become angry or upset because the criticism conflicts with an identity that is important to them. These kinds of defensive reactions are a primary focus of this paper. What is it to be defensive in this way, and why do some kinds of criticism or implied criticism tend to provoke this kind of response? What are the connections between defensiveness, identity, and active ignorance? What are the social, political, and epistemic consequences of the tendency to defensiveness? Are there ways to improve the situation? | T12320: Feminist Epistemology and Gender Studies | 33: Social Sciences | 3312: Sociology and Political Science | 2: Social Sciences |

W1997063615 | <TITLE> Biocidal efficacy of monochloramine against biofilm bacteria
<ABSTRACT> Ammonia is one of the major metabolic products of the macrofouling communities which normally colonize the seawater intake systems of coastal power plants. Ammonia reacts with chlorine used for biofouling control, resulting in the formation of chloramines. At the pH of seawater, the formation of monochloramine MCA will be significant. Biofilms 48 h old, 28.5 μm 5.4 μm thick developed on glass and aluminum brass coupons were exposed to the biocides MCA and free chlorine FC. Biofilm thickness was measured and biofilm bacterial counts by epifluorescence microscopy, and also for culturable bacteria by plating on to marine Zobel agar were made after 15, 30, 45 and 60 min of contact time. The biocidal efficiency of MCA was compared with that of FC at similar doses 1, 2 and 3 ppm after the same contact times. On glass, the biofilm thickness decreased by 90 compared to the control in the case of MCA at 3 ppm after 60 min exposure and the corresponding cell detachment was found to be 94. With FC the thickness also decreased by 90 but cell detachment was 100. The study demonstrates that MCA and FC show similar biocidal activity in disinfecting biofilms, and that MCA formed in situ in the cooling circuit could be as significant as FC. | T11493: Water Treatment and Disinfection | 23: Environmental Science | 2307: Health, Toxicology and Mutagenesis | 3: Physical Sciences |

<ABSTRACT> Abstract Despite the wide spectrum of reliable methods for identifying Ebola virus, their performance requires highlyskilled personnel, specialized laboratories, complicated equipment, and much time. Therefore, there is a need for a method that allows a physician or a medical attendant to identify the causative agent in field or bedside tests without special equipment as soon as possible. The immunoassay involving nitrocellulose membrane immunofiltration, by using a fixed antigen antibodies or their immunosols, is a triedandtrue method.

W120559709 | <TITLE> Degeneration of astrocytes in feline retinopathy of prematurity causes failure of the bloodretinal barrier.
<ABSTRACT> This study addresses the role of astrocytes in the genesis of retinopathy of prematurity, examined in the feline model of this condition. Evidence is presented that the hypoxia of retinopathy of prematurity, in addition to inducing vasoproliferation, damages the retina directly. Retinal neurons survive the hypoxia, but the astrocytes, which are involved in the formation of the glia limitans of the retinal vessels, degenerate. Astrocytes subsequently recolonize the retina after a delay that matches the period of leakiness of the proliferative vasculature described in the companion article. Given the evidence from other studies that the barrier properties of vessels are induced by their glia limitans, the authors suggest that the initial lack of barrier properties in the new vasculature is caused by the degeneration of astrocytes and that the subsequent formation of those properties is induced by the astrocytes that recolonize the retina some days later. The observation that astrocytes are more sensitive to hypoxia than neurons, at least in developing tissue, was unexpected. The literature reporting on the damage caused to central nervous tissue by hypoxia is consistent in assessing neurons as more sensitive and glial changes as a reaction to neuronal damage. The sensitivity of astrocytes found in this study and earlier in vitro research suggests that degenerated astrocytes can be replaced and their structural and functional relationships reestablished. | T12963: Anesthesia and Neurotoxicity Research | 28: Neuroscience | 2806: Developmental Neuroscience | 1: Life Sciences |

W2044766579 | <TITLE> ltigtReading Texts and Images Essays on Medieval and Renaissance Art and Patronage in Honour of Margaret M. Manionltigt review
<ABSTRACT> 200 Reviews Parergon 21.1 2004 Muir, Bernard J., ed., Reading Texts and Images Essays on Medieval and Renaissance Art and Patronage in Honour of Margaret M. Manion, Exeter, University of Exeter Press, 2002 cloth pp. xxviii, 338 101 bw illustrations 17 colour plates RRP 55 ISBN 0859897133. This collection is a festschrift celebrating the career and scholarship of Margaret Manion, who was the Herald Professor of Fine Arts at the University of Melbourne. It was edited by Bernard Muir, who collaborated with Professor Manion on two earlier essay collections. It draws on papers given at a conference organized by Kate Challis, Anne Nevile and Alison Inglis. Reading through the list of contributors provides us with a good indication of the regard with which she is held amongst eminent specialists in manuscript studies. It is an impressive array of both Australian and international colleagues. It is sad that only one of her former graduate students is included in the book, but this is a substantial and worthy gathering. While the emphasis is, not surprisingly, predominantly on manuscript illuminations , the range of approaches and time periods is wide, beginning with Muirs own essay on the decoration of folio 188 in The Book of Kells to Gerard Vaughans essay on the eighteenthcentury collector Charles Townley and his medieval links. The collection also includes a list of Margaret Manions publications. The volume itself looks impressive but there are several irritating features. The first is the introduction. Muir, after outlining very briefly Manions career, simply summarises the contents of each article. This is unnecessary, as the scholarly readership for whom these essays are clearly aimed, are probably well able to work out what each is about. It is also a missed opportunity. There are thematic linkages that could readily have been made, or an extended examination of the titles theme would have made this something worth reading, rather than something to be skipped. An explanation for the title could have produced an interesting argument, given that not all of the contributors worked on material that made connections between text and image in any overt way. My other complaint may, in part, reflect my review copy which, instead of containing 16 colour plates, only contained eight, and these were then duplicated. This meant that key images discussed in the texts of half the essays werent available for consultation. In addition, Krens essay had not been carefully enough proofread so his numbering of images did not always coincide with the images which were included. I can only hope that this was a problem restricted to my copy, as this makes the reading of some excellent essays a frustrating experience. Reviews 201 Parergon 21.1 2004 Fortunately the essays themselves are well worth the reading. They are arranged in roughly chronological order and, as is appropriate, most focus on manuscripts. There are some notable exceptions. Joan Barclay Lloyd writes about the river motif in Torritis thirteenthcentury design for the apse mosaic in Santa Maria Maggiore in Rome. As is to be expected, her work is a model of careful analysis of both antique and contemporary visual resources, as well as a variety of written texts, drawing out connections between the motif of the River of Life and Franciscan Marian devotional writings. Louise Marshall focuses on images of Saint Sebastian in Italian Renaissance art, contrasting narrative representations with a more abbreviated singlefigure devotional image, arguing that such images reflect latemedieval and Renaissance forms of piety that encouraged the beholder towards a more intimate, emotional engagement with the saint. Two of the essays in the collection focus on the Melbourne manuscript, the Wharncliffe Hours, the subject of some of Manions bestknown work. J. J. G. Alexander draws out some interesting ideas about how to interpret an otherwise perplexing sequence of secular images. Thomas Kren places the manuscript in a group of seven, all of which were written by a single scribe, Jean Dubreuil. Kren makes some important observations about the production of late fifteenthcentury books of hours, arguing that the uniformity of design, iconography and textual content, despite the different artists involved, reflects the... | T12377: Digital Humanities and Scholarship | 12: Arts and Humanities | 1208: Literature and Literary Theory | 2: Social Sciences |

But you have a business associate who has. When your business associate is sued, can the court attribute his contacts with the forum state to you? What if the claimant alleges that you and your business associate conspired or are agents of one another? In other words, what effect does one defendants personal relationship with a foreign defendant have on the constitutional limits articulated in the minimum contacts analysis?Attributing the jurisdictional contacts of one conspirator to his coconspirator as an independent source of jurisdiction is deceptively attractive. It greatly simplifies the jurisdictional analysis. Instead of evaluating contacts under due process standards International Shoe etc., the court simply decides whether there was a conspiracy a question more easily answered. But serious constitutional questions cloud its validity. | T12221: Cybersecurity and Cyber Warfare Studies | 33: Social Sciences | 3320: Political Science and International Relations | 2: Social Sciences |
W1506381571 | <TITLE> The developmental environment and its role in the metabolic syndrome
<ABSTRACT> It has long been known that certain cardiovascular risk factors tend to cluster together in the same patients. The clustering of insulin resistance, glucose intolerance, dyslipidaemia and hypertension was originally described by Reaven 1988 and it has become evident in recent years that this clustering, now known as the metabolic syndrome, is among the most important causes of atherosclerotic vascular disease. Because of the increasing prevalence of obesity, which contributes strongly to this syndrome, the metabolic syndrome is likely to contribute markedly to the global burden of disease both in the developed and increasingly in the developing world. Despite its publichealth importance, the aetiology is still poorly understood. In addition to obesity, a variety of other factors, both genetic and nongenetic, are involved, but at present these have remained poorly characterised. The demonstration over the past decade that several components of the metabolic syndrome have developmental origins offers new insights into understanding this important and common condition and may offer pointers to its prevention. | T11629: Birth, Development, and Health | 27: Medicine | 2735: Pediatrics, Perinatology and Child Health | 4: Health Sciences |
W129398940 | <TITLE> The role of ECM in bringing about pollution prevention
<ABSTRACT> In an RD environment, Environmentally Conscious Manufacturing ECM, which focuses on specific materials processing and manufacturing operations, can be used to bring about a broader objective pollution prevention. Decreasing the impact a product or process has on the environment is quickly becoming the way to do business. In the past, the impact on the environment was considered separately from manufacturing processes. Now, companies are beginning to see the benefits of designing to minimize environmental impact. Incorporating upfront the process changes that reduce environmental impact offers improved process efficiency and longterm cost savings not only for manufacturing operations but also for RD. Among the approaches used, all with the same objective of decreasing pollution and environmental impact from manufacturing or other business operations, are Environmentally Conscious Manufacturing ECM, Design for Environment DfE, and Pollution Prevention P2. | T10539: Sustainable Supply Chain Management | 14: Business, Management and Accounting | 1408: Strategy and Management | 2: Social Sciences |
W1986401708 | <TITLE> Inhibin as a marker for hydatidiform mole a comparative study with the determinations of intact human chorionic gonadotrophin and its free βsubunit
<ABSTRACT> Summary OBJECTIVE The purpose of the study was to evaluate plasma inhibin as a marker of hydatidiform mole and to compare the results with intact human chorionic gonadotrophin hCG and its free βsubunit. DESIGN Serial determinations of the plasma concentrations of inhibin, intact human chorionic gonadotrophin and its free βsubunit in cases of hydatidiform mole over an average period of 140 days. PATIENTS Five cases of hydatidiform mole, including patients with spontaneous remission after evacuation or persistent trophoblastic disease. MEASUREMENTS Immunoreactive Inhibin, hCG and free hCG βsubunit were measured using standard enzyme immunoassays. RESULTS inhibin and free hCG βsubunit levels were greater than in normal pregnant women at the same gestational age. Only intact hCG could detect the persistence of trophoblastic tissue. CONCLUSIONS Our data suggest that inhibin, intact human chorionic gonadotrophin and free βsubunit might be useful as diagnostic markers of molar pregnancies. However, the original method of intact hCG determination Is still superior for followup. | T12587: Gestational Trophoblastic Disease Studies | 27: Medicine | 2739: Public Health, Environmental and Occupational Health | 4: Health Sciences |

W13160216 | <TITLE> The autonomic nervous system in myocardial infarction.
<ABSTRACT> The occurrence of alterations in the autonomic control of cardiovascular function has long been known. Nevertheless, only in the last 15 years with the development and utilization of techniques such as heart rate variability and baroreflex analysis, unforeseeable amounts of information have been collected. The appraisal of alterations in the autonomic control mechanisms in the acute and postacute phase of myocardial infarction has not only confirmed the presence of an increased sympathetic and of a reduced vagal modulation in most of postmyocardial infarction patients. It has also allowed the clinically relevant identification of those patients with an increased arrhythmic and total cardiac mortality. Most the highrisk patients are indeed characterized by a marked reduction in heart rate variability that can be detected using different methodologies. For example, with timedomain analysis of heart rate variability, it has been shown that an SDNN 70 ms identifies patients at risk. By using spectral analysis, it has been possible to realize that the loss or marked attenuation of those rhythmical components that reflect autonomic modulation is also a characteristic of the highrisk patients. A decreased responsiveness of the sinus node to autonomic inputs may also explain the reduction in baroreflex sensitivity that characterizes patients with an increased arrhythmic mortality. In conclusion, the appraisal in each patient of the extent of the alterations in the autonomic control mechanism is nowadays a critical component of the clinical assessment not only for risk stratification but also in order to guide the prescription of new pharmacological and nonpharmacological therapies. | T10745: Heart Rate Variability and Autonomic Control | 27: Medicine | 2705: Cardiology and Cardiovascular Medicine | 4: Health Sciences |
W1495456632 | <TITLE> Optimierung und Analyse von Fachwerkstrukturen durch Neuronale Netze
<ABSTRACT> Die in dieser Arbeit neu entwickelte Systematik einer Multikriterienoptimierung ebener Fachwerkstrukturen basiert auf der Integration Neuronaler Netze in den Algorithmus einer mehrgliedrigen Evolutionsstrategie. Die trainierten konventionellen und problemspezifischen Neuronalen Netze erfassen Kriterien und Restriktionen der zu untersuchenden Optimierungsaufgabe. Optimierungssimulationen bestatigen die Funktionsfahigkeit dieser neuen Systematik. Am Beispiel statisch bestimmter und unbestimmter Fachwerkstrukturen werden Moglichkeiten einer selbstadaptiven Schadensanalyse durch trainierte sowie durch Pruning reduzierte Neuronale Netze untersucht. Dies ermoglicht die Bestimmung eines unbekannten inversen Zusammenhangs. Weiterhin wird ein auf problemspezifischen Neuronalen Netzen beruhendes, neuartiges Losungsverfahren inhomogener linearer Gleichungssysteme vorgestellt. The integration of neural networks and a multimembered evolutionary strategy leads to a new multicriteria optimization approach for plane truss structures. Conventional as well as problemspecific neural networks describe the appertaining restrictions and criteria of the investigated optimization problem. Advantages of this new approach are the minimal response time required by trained neural networks in the context of a stochastic optimization method as well as a probability greater than zero to find global extrema in multimodal optimization problems. Conventional neural networks are able to assess the impairment of damaged structural systems. The fully connected starting topologies of these networks are minimized with a combination of pruning algorithms and conventional network training. Statically determinate and indeterminate systems are investigated with a main focus on indeterminate truss structures and related problems concerning sufficient data diversification and adequate data preprocessing. As a result neural networks are able to solve specific inverse functional relations, and thereby assess the impairment of a damaged structural system with a minimized network topology. This research work also presents a new methodology for the solution of inhomogeneous linear equation systems using simple problemspecific neural networks. | T10928: Probabilistic and Robust Engineering Design | 18: Decision Sciences | 1804: Statistics, Probability and Uncertainty | 2: Social Sciences |

W136994368 | <TITLE> Preserving Our Freedoms and Civil Liberties, Combating and Preventing Terrorism The History of Islam among Urban Blacks in New Jersey
<ABSTRACT> INTRODUCTION There are Good Men in America, but All Are Very Ignorant of Africaand Its Muslims 1 Lamine Kebe 1835 You may close your Supreme Court against the black mans cry for justice, but you cannot, thank God, close against him the ear of a sympathizing world, nor shut up the Court of Heaven. All that is merciful and just on earth and in Heaven will execrate and despise this edict of Taney. 2 Frederick Douglass May 1857 The two quotes above by Lamine Kebe, an African Muslim enslaved in the United States in antebellum America, and Frederick Douglass, a Native American son, of sorts, also enslaved in antebellum times, captures the essence of the Blackamerican 3 struggle for freedom, justice, equality, and recognition in a hostile land endured by them and their descendants up to the present day. This paper seeks to provide an historical analysis of the Blackamerican struggle to fight oppression, and their efforts to contribute towards the common good on various fronts. The popular image of Islam and its relationship to the struggle of urban Blackamericans in the collective effort to prevent and combat terrorism in the United States of America is one that has characterized both Islam and Blackamericans as being other than what they have stood forthe security of people and the preservation of our freedoms and civil liberties. Among the American population in the United States the general perception of Islam, Blackamericans, and Muslims is often a biased and distorted one. Muslims, and the religion of Islam, like AfricanAmericans throughout much of the history of the U.S., are not credited much for the progressive efforts and contributions that they have made to America and the world. Muslims, especially, are perceived and charged by a substantial number of Americans as being religious fanatics, Islamic fundamentalists, Islamic extremists, Islamic terrorists, Islamic radicals, foreign spies, black radicals, narrowminded, and, thus, people who cannot be fully trusted. Although such terms are frequently used by the haters to describe these people, very seldom are they defined by the people who use them, and, likewise, very seldom do the few who attempt to define them, do so in a way that accurately describes Muslims and what their faith, Islam, teaches. This unfortunate state of affairs has resulted in Muslims being unjustly relegated to a status where they and their faith have been placed on trial, as they, more often than not, are characterized as a people who represent a subversive threat from within to our core American values. If that was true, then suspecting policy makers would be justified in their determination to protect us from such people. But, fortunately it is not true and so policy makers have a responsibility to defend their fellow citizens from slander. To fully appreciate my concern, one only has to consider the dismal Peter King trials aimed at American Muslims, and the recent political attacks initiated by the republican representative, Michelle Bachman, against representatives Huma Abidin, a top aide to Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton Keith Ellison, a democratic representative from Minn. and others who have been unfairly branded as foreign spies simply because of their adherence to their Islamic faith. Of course, such antiIslamic propaganda and attitudes are as offensive to Muslims as they are unAmerican, and seems to have resulted in grave misconceptions within America about the nature, history and goals of the Islamic movement. According to the sentiments of many leading MuslimAmerican organizations among them, the Islamic Society of North American ISNA, the Islamic Circle of North American ICNA, the Muslim American Society MAS, The Mosque Cares Ministry of Imam W. Deen Mohammed, The Nation of Islam NOI, the Council on American Islamic Relations CAIRit is this irresponsible use of language and position that has contributed most, over the years, to the climate of anxiety, fear, and trepidation now prevalent amongst the American people and others throughout the world. | T12765: Race, History, and American Society | 33: Social Sciences | 3312: Sociology and Political Science | 2: Social Sciences |

W2952753535 | <TITLE> Creating anomalous Floquet Chern insulators with magnetic quantum walks
<ABSTRACT> We propose a realistic scheme to construct anomalous Floquet Chern topological insulators using spin12 particles carrying out a discretetime quantum walk in a twodimensional lattice. By Floquet engineering the quantumwalk protocol, an AharonovBohm geometric phase is imprinted onto closedloop paths in the lattice, thus realizing an abelian gauge fieldthe analog of a magnetic flux threading a twodimensional electron gas. We show that in the strong field regime, when the flux per plaquette is a sizable fraction of the flux quantum, magnetic quantum walks give rise to nearly flat energy bands featuring nonvanishing Chern numbers. Furthermore, we find that because of the nonperturbative nature of the periodic driving, a second topological numberthe socalled RLBL invariantis necessary to fully characterize the anomalous Floquet topological phases of magnetic quantum walks and to compute the number of topologically protected edge modes expected at the boundaries between different phases. In the second part of this article, we discuss an implementation of this scheme using neutral atoms in twodimensional spindependent optical lattices, which enables the generation of arbitrary magneticfield landscapes, including those with sharp boundaries. The robust atom transport, which is observed along boundaries separating regions of different field strength, reveals the topological character of the Floquet Chern bands. | T10657: Topological Materials and Phenomena | 31: Physics and Astronomy | 3107: Atomic and Molecular Physics, and Optics | 3: Physical Sciences |

W1560066461 | <TITLE> Effects of Distance and Speed on Driver StopVersusCross Decision at Traffic Signals
<ABSTRACT> Driver response to termination of the green signal is examined in an observational study of onroad driver behaviour, and by using the stopping probability as the performance index. The computation and modelling of the stopping probability and its application are presented and discussed. Data were collected for a total sample of 1192 firststopping and lastcrossing vehicles at four junction approaches by using digital video photography. Logistic regression was used to model the reduced data. It was found that the stopping probability was higher for greater distance from the stop line and for slower speed, with attenuation by distance X speed interaction. Significantly, distance and approach speed exerted influential, but nonuniform, effects upon the drivers decision to stop or to cross. Essentially, the net effect was found to be distance dominance when near the stop line, time dominance in the intermediary, and speed dominance when further away. Human factor considerations in terms of risktaking and perceptual and judgment errors were conjectured to explain the nonuniform behavioural response as manifested in the different dominance modes.

<ABSTRACT> The evaluation of any functional disease affecting quality of life requires a purposedesigned qualityoflife index for clinical trials as well as for evaluating the outcomes of treatments. The fecal incontinence quality of life index FIQL was developed at Minnesota University USA for patients with faecal incontinence but could not be used for Italian patients without appropriate cultural and linguistic adaptation. Therefore this index was translated into italian and prospectively validated on a new series of 73 incontinent patients and 8 healthy controls in order to provide Italian coloproctologists with a useful tool for clinical research. The italian version or the FIQL index met all the statistical criteria of reliability, reproducibility, specificity and convergency required and therefore can be used with confidence in clinical trials on such patients. | T10804: Health Systems, Economic Evaluations, Quality of Life | 20: Economics, Econometrics and Finance | 2002: Economics and Econometrics | 2: Social Sciences |

<ABSTRACT> The connective tissue diseases include a heterogeneous group of conditions characterized by a wide variety of signs and symptoms. There also exists, however, a group of systemic autoimmune disorders with signs and symptoms not sufficiently evolved to fulfill any of the accepted classification criteria for the defined connective tissue diseases. These conditions have been defined as undifferentiated connective tissue syndromes, latent lupus, incomplete lupus, and undifferentiated connective tissue diseases. After an analysis of the existing literature, we discuss the possible significance of the undifferentiated diseases among the already defined connective tissue diseases and make a proposal for preliminary classification criteria for these conditions. | T11330: Systemic Sclerosis and Related Diseases | 27: Medicine | 2734: Pathology and Forensic Medicine | 4: Health Sciences |

<ABSTRACT> Development of NDE techniques sensitive to changes in microstructure should be useful in predicting the mechanical properties of an alloy. This would not only improve quality control on the production line but also insure inservice reliability. In the present case a binary ALLi alloy and a commercial Al 2090 alloy were heat treated to achieve different microstructures followed by a series of nondestructive NDE measurements as well as uniaxial tension tests. Correlations between mechanical properties and NDE measurements will be presented, including error analysis for specified confidence level. Techniques for the nondestructive detection of the deleterious Tsub 1 phase in Al 2090 will also be discussed in connection with TEM observations. The general premise of this work is that knowledge of the microstructural features is necessary in order to develop a successful nondestructive detection plan. | T10670: Aluminum Alloy Microstructure Properties | 22: Engineering | 2202: Aerospace Engineering | 3: Physical Sciences |
W1531414077 | <TITLE> Gastric Emptying Rates for Selected Athletic Drinks
<ABSTRACT> Abstract The intent of this study was to compare the rate of gastric emptying of three commercially available athletic drinks Gatorade GA, StokelyVan Camp Braketime BT, Johnson and Johnson Body Punch BP, Starting Line Sports against water W. In so doing it was also possible to assess each drinks contribution of water, carbohydrate, and electrolytes 15 minutes after ingestion. Nine men and three women reported to the laboratory after having fasted for 12 hours. A No. 20 French Levine tube was inserted through the nasal passage and into the stomach. The subjects drank 400 ml of the test solution containing 25 mg of phenol red which was used as a volume indicator. Fifteen minutes after ingestion, the gastric contents were aspirated via the tube by means of a 50 ml syringe. The four conditions were tested in one morning, with the order of feedings rotated among subjects. The recovered gastric contents were measured for total volume, volume of original drink, carbohydrate content, and gastric electrolyte exchange. A oneway analysis of variance and NewmanKeuls range test was used to test the difference between means set at the p .05 level of significance. The volumes of BT, BP, and W emptied in 15 minutes were not significantly different, while 35 to 40 less GA was emptied than BT, BP, or W. BT, BP, and GA contributed 1.9, 4.5, and 6.8 gm of carbohydrate respectively in 15 minutes. These data are in agreement with previous findings that high glucose concentrations GA4.5 gm cause a slowing of gastric emptying. | T11399: Muscle metabolism and nutrition | 13: Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology | 1307: Cell Biology | 1: Life Sciences |

W2004474138 | <TITLE> Sexually Transmitted Diseases Women as Victims
<ABSTRACT> Sexually transmitted diseases have once again become an area of medical interest. In the era before antibiotics, these diseases, primarily syphilis, attracted the attention and the efforts of the best clinical and academic minds. The availability of penicillin, with its almost miraculous efficacy against syphilis and gonorrhea, led to the general belief that all of the problems of sexually transmitted diseases had been solved. The clinicians and investigators of the day turned their attention to more pressing problems. An entire generation of physiciansthose who began their careers between 1950 and 1970ignored the sexually transmitted conditions. Although this era corresponded with a spectacular growth in academic medicine, virtually none of the new investigators chose sexually transmitted diseases as their area of concentration. It was not until about 1970 that sexually transmitted diseases began to attract some attention, due mainly to a dramatic increase in the number of cases of gonorrhea.

W175033861 | <TITLE> Applications of remote sensing to forested ecosystems
<ABSTRACT> Since the launch of the first civilian earthobserving satellite in 1972, satellite remote sensing has provided increasingly sophisticated information on the structure and function of forested ecosystems. Forest classification and mapping, common uses of satellite data, have improved over the years as a result of more discriminating sensors, better classification algorithms, and the use of geographic information systems to incorporate additional spatially referenced data such as topography. Landuse change, including conversion of forests for urban or agricultural development, can now be detected and rats of changes calculated by superimposing satellite images taken at different dates. Landscape ecological questions regarding landscape pattern and the variables controlling observed patterns can be addressed using satellite imagery as can forestry and ecological questions regarding spatial variations in physiological characteristics, productivity, successional patterns, forest structure, and forest decline. 91 refs., 1 fig. | T11164: Remote Sensing and LiDAR Applications | 23: Environmental Science | 2305: Environmental Engineering | 3: Physical Sciences |
W138399053 | <TITLE> A preliminary study of acetylcholinesterasepositive innervation in the human adrenal cortex.
<ABSTRACT> We have examined the distribution of probable cholinergic nerves in the human adrenal cortex using acetylcholinesterase AChE histochemistry. Adrenal tissue was obtained from three subjects during therapeutic radical nephrectomy for renal neoplastic disease. Light microscopy revealed a heterogeneous pattern of cortical innervation, with nerves most abundant in the head and body and largely absent from the tail. There was frequently a subcapsular plexus of interwoven AChE ve nerve trunks in close relationship to densely stained ganglion cells. Nerves also traversed the zona fasciculata in radial trunks and a further plexus with ganglion cells was observed in the zona reticularis. Nerve trunks were seen to penetrate the medulla. Some nerve trunks appeared to terminate or branch or form individual nerve fibres often with varicosities which ramified through the cortical parenchyma. In the medulla, a generalised granular staining was superimposed on nerve trunks which were branched and interwoven to form a plexus around ganglion cells. The presence and distribution of AChE ve nerve plexuses and varicose nerve fibres is suggestive of a functional intrinsic, probably cholinergic, innervation to the human adrenal cortex, perhaps derived from the splanchnic nerves. | T12023: Cholinesterase and Neurodegenerative Diseases | 27: Medicine | 2736: Pharmacology | 4: Health Sciences |
W2007904836 | <TITLE> Common features of lowtemperature spincharge separation and superlattice formation in multiferroic manganites and antiferromagnetic cuprates
<ABSTRACT> The paper reports on new results obtained for tetragonal quasi2D antiferromagnetic Eu2CuO4 at temperatures below 3040 K. A set of ferromagnetic resonance lines similar to ones obtained earlier for a number of multiferroic manganites Sanina et al 2012 J. Phys. Condens. Matter 24 346002, with similar electric polarization and local conductivity, were measured, i.e., a multiferroic behavior was revealed in Eu2CuO4 at low temperatures. We attribute these observations to the 1D superlattices that are formed due to phase separation and selforganization of charge carriers and occupy a small crystal volume, as in the multiferroic manganites studied earlier. Characteristic features of these superlattices include a spincharge separation and conductivity in their ferromagnetic layers. It is supposed that superlattices are domain walls separating the volume antiferromagnetic domains. A similarity between the superlattices in a number of crystals having different symmetries and bulk properties suggests that a topological order similar to that of the topological insulator exists in them at low temperatures. | T10886: Multiferroics and related materials | 25: Materials Science | 2504: Electronic, Optical and Magnetic Materials | 3: Physical Sciences |
W1987982271 | <TITLE> Significance of antibodies to soluble liver antigenliver pancreas a large French study
<ABSTRACT> Antibodies to soluble liver antigen SLAliver pancreas LP are generally considered as highly specific diagnostic markers of type 1 autoimmune hepatitis AIH1, and are particularly useful in patients without conventional antibodies. However, the presence of antiSLALP in type 2 autoimmune hepatitis AIH2, primary sclerosing cholangitis PSC and hepatitis C has recently been reported. The aim was thus to describe the characteristics of antiSLALPpositive patients in the largest series reported to date.Sera were selected from the period between 1998 and 2005, based on the presence of antibodies to SLALP detected by two methods. The clinical status of patients was determined from their medical records.Eightyone antiSLALPpositive patients with available clinical data were included 89 7281 had a diagnosis of AIH1, including 10 12 associated with cholestatic diseases primary biliary cirrhosis in seven cases and PSC in three cases. Six patients 7 suffered from another liver disease hepatitis C n3 and druginduced hepatitis n3. No specific diagnosis was made in three patients.Antibodies to SLALP are of a major diagnostic value for AIH1, including paediatric forms and overlap syndromes with cholestatic diseases, but are not found in association with antiliverkidneymicrosome type 1 or antibodies to liver cytosol type 1. They are rarely present in other liver diseases such as hepatitis C and druginduced hepatitis. | T11834: Liver Diseases and Immunity | 27: Medicine | 2721: Hepatology | 4: Health Sciences |

W1940741834 | <TITLE> The Path of Public Health Finance, Implementation, and Reform in China Lessons From the United States Medicaid System
<ABSTRACT> Abstract Since its creation by the U.S. Congress in 1965, the U.S. Medicaid health care system has been a shared federalstate financing and health care delivery system for the poor. The implementation and financing of the Medicaid system has had differing paths as a result of a range of policy choices behind which are the states charged with administering the program and policymakers in Washington. The policy choices and institutional structures associated with the U.S. Medicaid system have many similarities to Chinas provincial and local healthcare system of financing and delivery of healthcare services. Past and recent reform efforts by the central government in Beijing have similarities to the policy path of the development of the U.S. Medicaid system. The policy choices made by U.S. state and federal policymakers have numerous lessons that can be learned as a result of the institutional similarities in the Chinese provincial health care system . | T11531: Healthcare Systems and Reforms | 20: Economics, Econometrics and Finance | 2003: Finance | 2: Social Sciences |

W1612192894 | <TITLE> Molecular Mechanism of the Induction of Metalloproteinases 1 and 3 in Human Fibroblasts by Basic Calcium Phosphate Crystals
<ABSTRACT> Synovial fluid basic calcium phosphate BCP crystals are common in osteoarthritis and are often associated with destructive arthropathies involving cartilage degeneration. These crystals are mitogenic and induce oncogene expression and matrix metalloproteinase MMP synthesis and secretion in human fibroblasts. To date, BCP crystalelicited signal transduction pathways have not been completely studied. Because protein kinase C PKC is known to play an important role in signal transduction, we investigated the participation of this pathway in the BCP crystal induction of MMP1 and MMP3 mRNA and protein expressions in human fibroblasts. Using reverse transcriptionpolymerase chain reaction RTPCR and Northern and Western blotting techniques, we show here that BCP crystal stimulation of MMP1 and MMP3 mRNA and protein expressions in human fibroblasts is dependent upon the calciumdependent PKC signal transduction pathway and that the PKCα isozyme is specifically involved in the pathway. We have previously shown that BCP crystal induction of MMP1 and MMP3 is also dependent on the p4442 mitogenactivated protein kinase p4442 MAPK signal transduction pathway. We now show that these two pathways operate independently and seem to complement each other. This leads to our hypothesis that the two pathways initially function independently, ultimately leading to an increase in mitogenesis and MMP synthesis, and may converge downstream of PKC and p4442 MAPK to mediate BCP crystalinduced cellular responses. | T10620: Protease and Inhibitor Mechanisms | 13: Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology | 1306: Cancer Research | 1: Life Sciences |

W1976013737 | <TITLE> Selective reduction of delta 6 and delta 5 desaturase activities but not delta 9 desaturase in micropigs chronically fed ethanol.
<ABSTRACT> This study investigated the mechanism by which chronic ethanol feeding reduces arachidonate and other highly unsaturated fatty acids in pig liver phospholipids. Five micropigs were fed a diet providing 89 kcalkg body wt for 12 mo, with ethanol and fat as 40 and 34 of energy, respectively. Five control pigs were pairfed corn starch instead of ethanol. The activities of delta 6 and delta 5 desaturases expressed as microsomal conversion of precursor to product in liver from ethanolfed pigs were reduced to less than half that of controls, whereas the activity of delta 9 desaturase was unaffected in the ethanol group. delta 5 Desaturase activity showed positive correlation with the abundance of its products in liver total phospholipids and microsomes in the ethanol group, but not in the controls. Correlation between delta 6 desaturase activity and its products showed similar pattern to that of delta 5 desaturase, but did not reach statistical significance. No difference was observed between the two groups in coenzyme A concentration in the liver. These results suggest that the selective reduction of delta 6 and delta 5 desaturase activities, not the microsomal electron transport system, are directly responsible for the altered profile of liver phospholipids. | T11844: Lipid metabolism and biosynthesis | 13: Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology | 1303: Biochemistry | 1: Life Sciences |

W117369723 | <TITLE> Análisis comparativo de los espectros de diseño y de los acelerogramas reales. Aplicación a España y Europa
<ABSTRACT> Uno de los objetivos principales de la tesina, es llevar a cabo un estudio sobre la evolucion de los niveles de seguridad de las normas sismicas espanolas y europeas. Para ello se ha realizado una revision de la accion sismica de las normativas NCSE94 y NCSE02, y ademas, de la norma europea Eurocodigo 8 parte 1. Los aspectos esenciales de esta revision, son la definicion de la aceleracion sismica basica, de la aceleracion de calculo y del espectro normalizado de la aceleracion, ya que estos constituyen los criterios fundamentales para la consideracion de la accion sismica, en el proyecto y construccion de cualquier estructura. En una segunda fase, se ha efectuado un analisis comparativo de los niveles de la aceleracion y de los espectros de diseno, para los distintos tipos de suelo, propuesto en las normativas espanolas y europea. En este apartado se muestra como la actual norma sismorresistente espanola NCSE02, modifica la aceleracion de calculo tanto cualitativamente como cuantitativamente, respecto a la Norma NCSE94, ya que dependiendo del tipo de terreno la aceleracion varia, mayorando el valor cuando sucede en suelos blandos y minorandola cuando ocurre en roca, para finalmente converger a un mismo valor a partir de un determinado periodo de vibracion. Asi mismo, se han puesto de relieve las diferencias en la definicion del espectro elastico de repuesta en las diversas Normas, especialmente entre el Eurocodigo 8 y la Norma NCSE02, puesto que la norma europea distingue dos casos segun sea la magnitud Ms mayor o menor de 5,5. Por otra parte, no solo se ha realizado un estudio teorico de los espectros de respuesta, sino que ademas, se han obtenido una serie de acelerogramas registrados, de las bases de datos de los movimientos simicos del Instituto Geografico Nacional IGN, de la European Strong Motion Database ESMD, y de la crisis sismica ocurrida en septiembre de 1999, en Taiwan, con el objetivo de realizar un analisis de las normas sismicas actualmente en vigor en Espana y Europa, mediante la comparacion con las acciones sismicas reales. | T10160: Seismic Performance and Analysis | 22: Engineering | 2205: Civil and Structural Engineering | 3: Physical Sciences |

W1894175046 | <TITLE> Micronuclear DNA of Oxytricha nova contains sequences with autonomously replicating activity in Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
<ABSTRACT> Oxytricha nova is a hypotrichous ciliate with micronuclei and macronuclei. Micronuclei, which contain large, chromosomalsized DNA, are genetically inert but undergo meiosis and exchange during cell mating. Macronuclei, which contain only small, genesized DNA molecules, provide all of the nuclear RNA needed to run the cell. After cell mating the macronucleus is derived from a micronucleus, a derivation that includes excision of the genes from chromosomes and elimination of the remaining DNA. The eliminated DNA includes all of the repetitious sequences and approximately 95 of the unique sequences. We cloned large restriction fragments from the micronucleus that confer replication ability on a replicationdeficient plasmid in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Sequences that confer replication ability are called autonomously replicating sequences. The frequency and effectiveness of autonomously replicating sequences in micronuclear DNA are similar to those reported for DNAs of other organisms introduced into yeast cells. Of the 12 micronuclear fragments with autonomously replicating sequence activity, 9 also showed homology to macronuclear DNA, indicating that they contain a macronuclear gene sequence. We conclude from this that autonomously replicating sequence activity is nonrandomly distributed throughout micronuclear DNA and is preferentially associated with those regions of micronuclear DNA that contain genes. | T11879: Protist diversity and phylogeny | 13: Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology | 1312: Molecular Biology | 1: Life Sciences |
