Delayed early developmental trajectories of white matter tracts of functional pathways in preterm-born infants: Longitudinal diffusion tensor imaging data

Data in Brief, 2016

Probabilistic maps of white matter pathways related to motor, somatosensory, auditory, visual, and limbic functions, and major white matter tracts (the corpus callosum, the inferior fronto-occipital fasciculus, and the middle cerebellar peduncle) were applied to evaluate the developmental trajectories of these tracts, using longitudinal diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) obtained in term-born and preterm-born healthy infants. Nineteen term-born and 30 preterm-born infants completed MR scans at three time points: Time-point 1, 41.672.7 postmenstrual weeks; Time-point 2, 46.072.9 postmenstrual weeks; and Time-point 3, 50.873.7 postmenstrual weeks. The DTI-derived scalar values (fractional anisotropy, eigenvalues, and radial diffusivity) of the three time points are available in this Data article.

IJERT-Effects of Plan Dimensions, Seismic Zone, Infill on Storey Drifts and Force Response of L-Shaped Reinforced Concrete Buildings

The present work deals with the determination of storey drifts and force response of 20-storeyed reinforced concrete L-shaped buildings located in different seismic zones using ETABS 2013 Ultimate 13.2.2. The effects of plan dimensions, severity of seismic zone, infill walls on the storey drifts and force response have been evaluated. It is observed that the absolute maximum storey drift occurs in Zone V and that the effect of presence of infill walls in the analysis is to reduce the storey drifts. The influence of infill wall on the moments in transfer girders and main beams is not insignificant. Both the design ultimate positive and negative moments in transfer girders and main beams decrease in magnitude when the effect of infill wall is considered in the analysis. The response spectrum method predicts lower maximum storey drift in x-direction compared to the equivalent static lateral force method in all the cases. The response spectrum method predicts higher maximum storey drift in y-direction compared to the equivalent static lateral force method in all the cases.

Dynamic Proteome Alteration and Functional Modulation of Human Saliva Induced by Dietary Chemosensory Stimuli

Journal of agricultural and food chemistry, 2018

Saliva flow measurements and SDS-PAGE separation of human whole saliva freshly collected after oral stimulation with citric acid (sour), aspartame (sweet), iso-α-acids (bitter), mono sodium l-glutamate (umami), NaCl (salty), 6-gingerol (pungent), hydroxy-α-sanshool (tingling), and hydroxy-β-sanshool (numbing), followed by tryptic digestion, nano-HPLC-MS/MS, and label-free protein quantitation demonstrated a stimulus- and time-dependent influence of the dietary chemosensates on salivation and the salivary proteome composition. Gene ontology enrichment analysis showed evidence for stimulus-induced alterations of the saliva proteome to boot an efficient molecular defense network of the oral cavity, e.g., 6-gingerol increased salivary lactoperoxidase activity, catalyzing the oxidation of thiocyanate to produce the antimicrobial and antifungal hypothiocyanate, from 0.37 ± 0.02 to 0.91 ± 0.05 mU/mL 45 s after stimulation. In comparison, oral citric acid stimulation induced an increase of ...

Design of D–π–A type photoacid generators for high efficiency excitation at 405 nm and 800 nm

Chemical Communications, 2013

I. General materials, characterizations and synthesis procedures (Schemes, Procedures, NMR spectra, MS spectra). All reagents were purchased from commercial available sources such as Aldrich or Fisher and used without further purification. Solvents were dried prior to use as required: dichloromethane (DCM) were distilled under an atmosphere of anhydrous nitrogen from CaH 2 ; DMF was distilled under reduced pressure from CaSO 4 , and THF was dried by distilling under an atmosphere of nitrogen from sodium and benzophenone. Proton and carbon nuclear magnetic resonance spectra (1 H, 13 C NMR) were recorded on a Bruker Avance 500 (400 MHz) spectrometer. Chemical shifts were reported in parts per million (ppm) downfield from the Me 4 Si resonance which was used as the internal standard when recording NMR spectra. Mass spectra were recorded on a Micromass GCTTM and a Micromass LCTTM.

U-Pb geochronology of zircons from river sediments in Sri Lanka: Implications on early Archean to late Cambrian magmatism and episodic crustal growth

Journal of Asian Earth Sciences, 2019

Geochronology of zircons from river-sediments in Sri Lanka has never been attempted. Here we present Rare Earth Elements (REE) and U-Pb isotopes of ∼700 zircon grains by laser ablation ICP-MS technique, from sediments of the major rivers in the Sri Lankan basement (rivers of Mahaweli, Kelani, Kalu, Walawe, Maduru Oya and Maha Oya). Most of the studied zircons display oscillatory zoning and Th/U > 0.1, confirming their igneous origin. U-Pb age distribution of these river-sand zircons exhibits two major populations depicting Mesoproterozoic to Archean (∼30%; > 1100-3100 Ma) and Neoproterozoic to late Cambrian (∼70%; > 430-1000 Ma) magmatism. The two populations could be further resolved into intensive and episodic magmatic peaks at 480-680 Ma,

Development and Application of Novel Computational Intelligence Techniques to the Multivariate Analysis of Metabolomics Biofluids Datasets

2017

The present decades have witnessed major advances in the development and applications of Computational Intelligence Techniques (CITs), which are commonly associated with metabolomics and omics analyses related to diseases diagnosis. This includes, amongst others, research work performed on Niemann-Pick class 1 and 2 diseases (NPC1 and NPC2 respectively), the severest form of which may involve liver dysfunction. Some of the main reasons for the high frequency of CITs use in metabolomics studies are also related to the development of techniques to detect major discriminatory metabolite variables for the purpose of disease diagnosis and progression. Alongside this, is the major demanding requirement to further understand potential metabolic pathways involved in order to improve our understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying NPC1 disease. NPC1 is a rare neurodegenerative disorder attributable to NPC1 gene function loss, which causes adverse fat storage at the lysosomal levels ...

Influence of Plan Dimensions, Seismic Zone, Infill on the Behavior of I-Shaped Reinforced Concrete Buildings

Recently it has become mandatory to design all the civil engineering structures including building frames for the earthquake effects in addition to dead load, live load and wind load effects. The present work deals with the determination of storey drifts and force response of 20-storeyed reinforced concrete I-shaped buildings located in different seismic zones using ETABS 2013 Ultimate 13.2.2. The effects of plan dimensions, severity of seismic zone, infill walls on the storey drifts and force response have been evaluated. It is observed that the absolute maximum storey drift occurs in Zone V and that the effect of presence of infill walls in the analysis is to reduce the storey drifts. The influence of infill wall on the moments in transfer girders and main beams is not insignificant. Both the design ultimate positive and negative moments in transfer girders and main beams decrease in magnitude when the effect of infill wall is considered in the analysis.The response spectrum method predicts lower maximum storey drift in x-direction compared to the equivalent static lateral force method in all the cases when infill is not accounted in the analysis. The response spectrum method predicts slightly higher maximum storey drift in x-direction compared to the equivalent static lateral force method in all cases when infill is accounted in the analysis. The response spectrum method predicts lower maximum storey drift in y-direction compared to the equivalent static lateral force method in all the cases.
