Amplification and expression of c-erbB2 oncogene in normal, hyperplastic, and malignant endometria

OBJECTIVE: To study the correlation of development and survival with amplification of c-erbB2 oncogene in endometrial carcinoma. METHODS: The amplification and expression of c-erbB2 oncogene were determined from formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissues of 25 normal, 31 hyperplastic, and 72 malignant samples of the endometrium in 128 patients, using differential polymerase chain reaction (DPCR) and an immunohistochemical technique. RESULTS: Amplified c-erbB2 (2 to 12 copies) were found in two of 25 (8.0%) normal, 15 of 31 (48.4%) hyperplastic, and 45 of 72 (62.5%) malignant samples. When the results of DPCR were compared with those of the immunohistochemical method, the negative findings concide well with one another, i.e., nonamplification was associated with the absence of immunoreactivity. It was noted that the amplified c-erbB2 was found more significantly in complex and a typical hyperplasias than in simple hyperplasias. The high-level c-erbB2 amplification (at least five copies) was significantly correlated with the histological grade of endometrial carcinoma and vascular or lymphatic invasion. No correlation was seen between c-erbB2 amplification and overall survival in the present group of patients. CONCLUSIONS: The amplified c-erbB2 may play a potential role in the early development of some endometrial carcinomas. The high-level c-erbB2 amplification may identify a subset of aggressive endometrial carcinoma that involves vascular or lymphatic invasiveness and poor cell differentiation playing the role of a marker for clinical prognosis.

Optimal Hybrid Control for Structures

A new method for integrated design of passive and active elements is presented. Rather than the existing qualitative selection of parameters for passive elements, a quantitative approach is proposed that finds optimal active and passive parameters with respect to an H₂/H_∞ performance requirement. This new approach automatically yields passive designs when the given performance limits are high enough and active (hybrid) designs when the given performance constraints are stringent. Furthermore, our algorithm finds the special performance requirement (the peak of the frequency response) that cannot be satisfied by any passive design. Hence this article shows how to determine when control is required rather than assuming a priori that it is or is not required. A simple design method given herein yields either passive, active, or hybrid designs depending only on the level of the performance constraints that are specified in the statement of the problem.     

Direct imaging of a high-power diode laser cavity using a transparent indium-tin-oxide (ITO) contact

We describe a novel "see-through" indium-tin-oxide contact on the n-side of a high power unstable resonator semiconductor laser (URSL) that allows direct observation of the cavity during high power operation. Under optimized annealing conditions this transparent ITO contact has a low enough specific contact resistivity to permit normal high power CW operation of the URSL and allows the observation of filamentation. This contact scheme is applicable to a wide range of semiconductor lasers and is especially appropriate for high power devices. The same structure can also be used to obtain a 2-D thermal map of the laser cavity.     

Study on phase behavior–impact strength relationship of unsaturated polyester/polyurethane hybrid polymer network

The phase behavior of a hybrid polymer network (HPN) composed of poly[(propylene glycol maleate)-co-(propylene glycol phthalate)] crosslinked with styrene and polyester–urethane crosslinked with methylene-bis-ortho-chloroaniline was examined. The correlation between phase separation and impact strength of the HPNs is discussed. The composition of HPNs has an effect on their properties.

A D&T roundtable: challenges for low-power and high-performancechips

Microprocessor and other lC performance continues to improve at historic rates, with no visible end in sight for the next 10 years. However, we are starting to encounter a power wall. This is true for high-performance components as well as for low-power chips with a very limited energy budget offered by batteries. We need to find ways to manage power and energy consumption on all fronts-technology, design, and architecture-without compromising performance. Otherwise, we may face discontinuation of Moore's law for the semiconductor industry in the near future. This would be triggered not by any difficulty in the scaling of process technology but by formidable barriers posed by packaging and cooling, inefficacy of power delivery, and energy constraints dictated by battery technology, which is advancing at a very lukewarm pace     

Robust controller with disturbance rejection for hydraulic servosystems

A controller is presented that improves the performance and reduces the sensitivity of hydraulic servo systems in the presence of parameter variations, nonlinear effects, and other disturbances. The control system has enhanced closed-loop stability and can recover from steady-state and transient error quickly and completely. It consists of a servo controller, an auxiliary controller, and a robust controller. Simulation and experimental results demonstrate the validity of the controller
