Compiling CSP
No full textCSP, Hoare's Communicating Sequential Processes, is a formal language for specifying, implementing and reasoning about concurrent processes and their interactions. Existing software tools that deal with CSP directly are largely concerned with assisting formal proofs. This paper presents an alternative use for CSP, namely the compilation of CSP systems to executable code. The main motivation for this work is in providing a means to experiment with relatively large CSP systems, possibly consisting millions of concurrent processes --- something that is hard to achieve with the tools currently available
Reactions of Pyridoxine
No full textTitle: Reactions of Pyridoxine, Author: Frederick J. Rowell, Location: ThodeThe chemistry of pyridoxine has been critically
examined with a view to obtaining new intermediates suitable for
the systematic degradation of the molecule. Use has been made of
three new degradation schemes arising from this work to isolate
atoms C-2 , C-2 ', C- 4, C- 4' and C-5' of radioactive pyridoxine
obtained from feeding experimen ts . · The biosynthesis of pyridoxine
is discussed in the light of the degradation results which demonstrate
that pyridoxine is derived from three molecules of glycerol.ThesisMaster of Science (MS
On the historical origin of anti-Kantianism in the aesthetics of German idealism: Reevaluation of German aesthetic rationalism by Frederick C. Beiser
No full textWhere is the historical origin of anti -Kantianism in the aesthetics of German idealism? Frederick C. Beiser’s recent book, Diotima’s Children: German Aesthetic Rationalism from Leibniz to Lessing, doesn't treat this subject directly, but provides many profound insights into it. In this paper the author gives a summary of the book first, then explains some of those insights

Springfield College Gymnastic Legacy chart, by A.B. Frederick (Sept. 20, 1991)
No full textThe Springfield's Gymnastic Legacy chart prepared by A. B. Frederick, curator of the International Gymnastics Hall of Fame. The Chart is 77" x 8 1/2". It is printed on folded printer paper. It is signed by the author A.B. Frederick and signed. The chart uses information & from A.B. Frederick's book "Roots of American Gymnastics." This is not a direct representation of the charts in the various additions of the book "Roots of American Gymnastics" - a version of the list, with corrections and additions, can be seen on page 20 and 21 of the 1996 publication. The chart is a genealogical representation of coaches and outstanding gymnasts who have been associated with Springfield College and their history or contributions to the gymnastics, as well as those they have influenced. Honorees of the American National Gymnastics Hall of Fame are found on the charts along with the primary reasons for their election. At the top of the chart is Leslie Judd, the director and founder of the exhibition team at Springfield College. Judd was appointed as the first gymnastic coach and director at Springfield College in 1921. To the left of Judd are the people were were associated with early gymnastics programs at Springfield College before Judd was appointed as coach and director. These people include Henry Kallenberg, Amos Alonzo Stagg, James Naismith, Luther Gulick, and Louis C. Schroeder. Under Judd, stems all the major influencers of gymnastics that he trained. These people include Rene Kern, Charles Graves, Fred Zitta, Ted Steeves, Shotzbarger, Lyle Welser, Wilber West, Ralph Piper, Ray Heidloff, Hartly D'Oyley Price, Tom Dunkley, Walter Ersing, Erik Kjeldsen, Richard Aronson, Tom DeCarlo, and Frank Wolcott. The far right has the most recent history at the time that it was created, including some of the Women's history, including Diane Potter, Mimi Murrary, and Olympian Kathy Corrigan. Not represented is 35 year Women's Head Coach, Cheryl Raymond.Note: the image has been created using multiple photographs that have been pieced together and doctored using Photoshop and Adobe Lightroom; This is not a direct representation of the charts in the book "Roots of American Gymnastics"
Preparation of immunochromatographic strips for rapid detection of early secreted protein ESAT-6 and culture filtrate protein CFP-10 from Mycobacterium tuberculosis
No full textIncludes supplementary materialThe early secreted protein early secretory antigenic target 6(ESAT-6) and the culture filtrate protein 10 (CFP-10) are 2 antigens that are specific to Mycobacterium tuberculosis. These 2 antigens are good targets for tuberculosis (TB) detection.To rapidly diagnose TB across a variety of samples, we developed colloidal gold immunochromatographic strips (ICSs) based on ESAT-6 and CFP-10.The strips were evaluated using 233 samples, including sputum, plasma, and pleural effusion samples.The positive detection rates for ICSs for ESAT-6 and CFP-10 in sputum (culture-positive for M tuberculosis) were 100% and 91.2%, respectively. The positive detection rates for ICSs for ESAT-6 and CFP-10 in plasma were 34.1% and 29.4%, respectively. The positive detection rates for ICSs for ESAT-6 and CFP-10 in pleural effusion were 64.7% and 55.9%, respectively. Experimental analysis of culture supernatant showing that the ICS developed for ESAT-6 had a sensitivity of 100% and a specificity of 91.2%. While the ICS developed for CFP-10 had a sensitivity of 91.2% and a specificity of 88.2%.The validity of the test is limited by source of sample. The technique is sensitive and specific for samples in sputum and culture media but not for plasma or pleural effusion samples. Detection of M tuberculosis using ICSs is rapid, simple, and relatively effective; thus, ICSs are a potential screening tool for TB.Erik Jonsson School of Engineering and Computer Scienc
The Lifecycle of the Ebola Virus in Host Cells
No full textEbola haemorrhagic fever causes deadly disease in humans and non-human primates resulting from infection with the Ebola virus (EBOV) genus of the family Filoviridae. However, the mechanisms of EBOV lifecycle in host cells, including viral entry, membrane fusion, RNP formation, GP-tetherin interaction, and VP40-inner leaflet association remain poorly understood. This review describes the biological functions of EBOV proteins and their roles in the lifecycle, summarizes the factors related to EBOV proteins or RNA expression throughout the different phases, and reviews advances with regards to the molecular events and mechanisms of the EBOV lifecycle. Furthermore, the review outlines the aspects remain unclear that urgently need to be solved in future research."This work was supported by grants from the Major Program of National Natural Science Foundation of China (#81590763), and the Science & Technology Key Program of Zhejiang China (#2014C03001-2/3)."Erik Jonsson School of Engineering and Computer Scienc
Effects of supplemental vitamins E and C on the immune responses of calves
No full textTwo experiments were conducted to evaluate the effects of oral supplementation of vitamin C and vitamin E (alpha-tocopherol), alone and in combination, on immune responses of calves. In Experiment 1, 18 Holstein newborn female calves were supplemented with 0, 1, and 2 g/d of vitamin C from birth to 6 wk of age. Concentrations of ascorbic acid in blood plasma were significantly higher for supplemented calves than for control calves. No significant differences among treatments occurred in the concentrations of IgG1, IgG2, and titer to keyhole limpet hemocyanin. In Experiment 2, effects of oral supplementation of vitamins E and C on immune responses were studied using 18 Holstein female calves. Concentrations of alpha-tocopherol in blood plasma were significantly higher for supplemented than for control calves. The concentrations increased from birth to wk 1, and then very little change occurred from wk 1 to 6. Differences among treatments in the concentrations of IgG1, IgG2, IgM, and titer to keyhole limpet hemocyanin were not significant; however, concentrations of IgM in calves supplemented with vitamins E and C generally tended to be higher than those of control calves. Antibodies to keyhole limpet hemocyanin were higher at 6 wk than at 4 wk of age.LR: 20031114; PUBM: Print; JID: 2985126R; 0 (Antibodies); 0 (Antigens); 0 (Immunoglobulin G); 0 (Immunoglobulin M); 0 (keyhole-limpet hemocyanin); 1406-18-4 (Vitamin E); 50-81-7 (Ascorbic Acid); 9013-72-3 (Hemocyanin); ppublishSource type: Electronic(1
Finding antichrist: apocalypticism in nineteenth‐century Catholic England and the writings of Frederick Faber
No full textThe article discusses the apocalyptic beliefs of the nineteenth-century English Oratorian and devotional writer, Frederick Faber, though initially providing a context among earlier and contemporary English Catholic apocalyptic writers. It proceeds, by means of a consideration of Faber's conscious de-secularisation of language, to give an account of his identification of the elements of a transvalued contemporary popular concept of modernity as the signs of apocalyptic crisis. The article as a whole is intended to provide an aid to the perception and understanding of a pervasive apocalypticism in nineteenth-century English-speaking Catholicism. © 2012 The Author
