Effects of a quick-release form of bromocriptine (Ergoset) on fasting and postprandial plasma glucose, insulin, lipid, and lipoprotein concentrations in obese nondiabetic hyperinsulinemic women

OBJECTIVE: To assess the effect on various aspects of carbohydrate and lipid metabolism of administering a quick-release formulation of bromocriptine (Ergoset) to obese, nondiabetic, hyperinsulinemic women. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS: Hourly concentrations of prolactin, glucose, insulin, free fatty acid (FFA), and triglyceride were measured for 24 h before and after approximately 8 weeks of treatment with Ergoset. In addition, fasting lipid and lipoprotein concentrations and the steady-state plasma glucose (SSPG) concentration in response to a continuous infusion of somatostatin, insulin, and glucose were determined before and after Ergoset administration. RESULTS: Circulating prolactin concentrations were dramatically decreased (P < 0.001) following treatment, associated with a significant fall (P < 0.05) in 24-h-long plasma glucose, FFA, and triglyceride concentrations. Neither circulating plasma insulin concentrations nor the ability of insulin to mediate glucose disposal changed with treatment. Finally, fasting total cholesterol fell (P < 0.05) and the ratio of total to HDL cholesterol decreased (P = 0.06) in association with Ergoset treatment. CONCLUSIONS: The fact that significant metabolic improvement was seen in the obese nondiabetic hyperinsulinemic women studied suggests that Ergoset could be of therapeutic benefit in clinical conditions of hyperglycemia and/or dyslipidemia.     

The large deflection dynamic plastic response of rectangular plates

By assuming a kinematically admissible, time-dependent velocity field and considering the global equilibrium of all the forces acting on each rigid segment during large deflection of a plate, a complete theoretical investigation is undertaken herein to trace the large deflection dynamic plastic response (including the transient phase) of simply-supported or fully-clamped rectangular plates. This procedure deduces two modifying factors ƒ₁ and ƒ₂ which reflect the effect of the membrane forces and are employed to formulate the governing equations in the case of large deflections. The present prediction of the final plate deflection coincides excellently with the corresponding experimental results for deflections up to 5–10 times the plate thickness. This theory greatly improves the estimates based on the bending-only theory and provides a new way to trace the transient phase of dynamically loaded plates when the effect of membrane forces is significant.

All-optical photonic switches using integrated inverted asymmetricFabry-Perot modulators and heterojunction phototransistors

InGaAs/GaAs(100) multiple-quantum-well-based inverted cavity asymmetric Fabry-Perot modulators are vertically integrated with GaAs/AlGaAs heterojunction phototransistors to yield all-optical photonic switches. The photonic switches using `normally on' modulator pixels exhibit an output on-off ratio of 12:1 with internal optical gain of 4 dB. The photonic switches using `normally off' modulator pixels yield similar contrast and gain, but exhibit intrinsic bistable behavior. The inverted cavity modulators employed permit utilizing the transparency of the GaAs substrate at the operating wavelength and offer advantages for fabricating large arrays for optical signal processing

High bit rate digital subscriber line echo cancellation

The authors explore the issues of complexity, precision, and dynamic range and practical implementation issues such as nonlinearities in high bit rate digital subscriber line (HDSL) echo cancelers. The approach taken is to study these issues analytically using computer simulations, and then to verify simulation results with laboratory prototyping. One of the objectives was to determine whether HDSL echo cancellation will be practical and cost effective within the next several years, consistent with the desire to develop and deploy a repeaterless T1 capability by 1993. Thus, attention is given to practical design issues     

Gate and drain currents in off-state buried-type p-channel LDDMOSFETs

The buried-type p-channel LDD MOSFETs biased at high positive gate voltage exhibit novel characteristics: (1) the ratio of the drain to gate currents is about 1×10^-3 to 5×10^-3; and (2) the gate and drain currents both are functions of only the gate voltage minus the n-well bias. Such characteristics are addressed based on the formation of the surface n ⁺ inversion layer due to the punchthrough of the buried channel to the underlying shallow p-n junction. The measured gate current is due to the Fowler-Nordheim tunneling of electrons from this inversion layer surface and the holes generated within the high-field oxide constitute the drain current. The n⁺ inversion layer surface potential is found to be equal to the n-well bias plus 0.55 V. As a result, both the oxide field and the gate and drain currents are independent of drain voltage

Fuzzy-Fusion Classifier for MMV Full-Polarization Radar Target Recognition Using One-Dimensional Scattering Centers

One-dimensional (1-D) scattering centers on a target can be used for radar target recognition purpose. In this paper, a new classifier based on fuzzy techniques is proposed, which is very much suitable for target recognition using 1-D scattering centers. Furthermore, information fusion techniques for full polarimetric receiver data are utilized at the decision level. The performance of the proposed fuzzy-fusion classifier is evaluated using a dataset of five aircraft models measured by millimeter-wave (MMW) full-polarization stepped-frequency radar in the compact range facility.
