    Carl Bode (1911-1993) was an author, professor of English at the University of Maryland, and officer of several literary and cultural organizations. His scholarly interests included Emerson, Thoreau, and H. L. Mencken. His books included Mencken, the first full biography to be published after Mencken's death; Maryland, a 350-year history of the state; The Man Behind You, a volume of poetry; and The Anatomy of American Popular Culture. He received a Ford Fellowship in 1952-1953 and a Guggenheim award in 1954-1955. Bode also founded the national American Studies Association. His papers consist of correspondence, drafts of publications, documentation from editing projects, and records of participation in political campaigns. Correspondence relates to Joseph Tydings, Walter R. Harding, and Wilson Follett. There is an unprocessed addendum to the collection, consisting of books on American literature and Maryland; correspondence; course materials; financial records; personnel-related materials; photographs; tapes; publications; and work papers

    Bode Analysis of Uncertain Multivariable Systems

    Bode plots are crucial for frequency domain analysis of SISO systems. The aim of this paper is to develop a complete approach for Bode plots of multivariable uncertain systems for both the magnitude and phase. The magnitude is based on the singular values. The phase is based on the phase spread of the numerical range. An IQC-based approach is pursued to provide both the magnitude and phase. A simulation example shows that the presented approach allows the generation of multivariable Bode plots of multivariable uncertain systems

    Adrenomedullin refines mortality prediction by the BODE index in COPD - The "BODE-A" index.

    peer reviewedThe BODE index is well-validated for mortality prediction in COPD. Concentrations of plasma proadrenomedullin, a surrogate for mature adrenomedullin, independently predicted 2-year mortality among inpatients with COPD exacerbation.We compared accuracy of initial proadrenomedullin level, BODE, and BODE components, alone or combined, in predicting 1-year or 2-year all-cause mortality in a multicenter, multinational observational cohort with stable, moderate to very severe COPD.Proadrenomedullin was significantly associated (P<0.001) with 1-year mortality (4.7%) and 2-year mortality (7.8%), and comparably predictive to BODE regarding both (C statistics: 0.691 vs. 0.745, 0.635 vs. 0.679). Relative to using BODE alone, adding proadrenomedullin significantly improved 1-year and 2-year mortality prognostication (C statistics: 0.750, 0.818; both P<0.001). Proadrenomedullin plus BOD was more predictive than was the original BODE including 6-minute-walk distance. In multivariable analysis, proadrenomedullin (LR X2 13.0, P<0.001), body mass index (8.5, P=0.004), and 6-minute-walk distance (7.5, P=0.006), but not modified MMRC dyspnoea score (2.2, P=0.14) or FEV1 % predicted (0.3, P=0.60), independently foretold 2-year survival.Proadrenomedullin plus BODE better predicts mortality in COPD patients than does BODE alone; proadrenomedullin may substitute for 6-minute-walk distance in BODE when 6-minute-walk testing is unavailable

    Strategies for synthesis of yardsticks and abaci for nanometre distance measurements by pulsed EPR

    Silvia Valera is grateful for support by EPSRC and Bela E. Bode acknowledges support by EastCHEM.Pulsed electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) techniques have been found to be an efficient tool for elucidation of structure in complex biological systems as they give access to distances in the nanometre range. These measurements can provide additional structural information such as relative orientations, structural flexibility or aggregation states. A wide variety of model systems for calibration and optimisation of pulsed experiments has been synthesised. Their design is based on mimicking biological systems or materials in specific properties such as the distances themselves and the distance distributions. Here, we review selected approaches to the synthesis of chemical systems bearing two or more spin centres, such as nitroxide or trityl radicals, metal ions or combinations thereof and sketch their application in pulsed EPR distance measurements.Peer reviewe
