    Cross-Dimensional Gestural Interaction Techniques for Hybrid Immersive Environments

    We present a set of interaction techniques for a hybrid user interface that integrates existing 2D and 3D visualization and interaction devices. Our approach is built around one- and two-handed gestures that support the seamless transition of data between co-located 2D and 3D contexts. Our testbed environment combines a 2D multi-user, multi-touch, projection surface with 3D head-tracked, see-through, head-worn displays and 3D tracked gloves to form a multi-display augmented reality. We also address some of the ways in which we can interact with private data in a collaborative, heterogeneous workspace

    Hepatic Cytochrome P-450. A Proton Magnetic Relaxation Study of Microsomal, Solubilized and Partially Reconstituted Enzyme System

    The longitudiJ:ial proton magnetic relaxation times, Ti, were measured from -5 to 40 °c for microsomal, solubilized and reconstituted cytochrome P-450 obtained from phenobarbital-induced rat livers. The paramagnetic contribution to the rates was derived by subtraction of the rates measured on dithionite-CO-reduced samples. The same values were obtained for microsomal P-450 on reduction with NADPH. PMR titratio.n by KCN yielded a dissociation constant of about 30 mM. This is three orders of magnitude larger than for metmyoglobin. It is concluded that the measured PMR rates are most likely due to the P-450 (and P-420) haem-iron while the 300/o non-haem iron found in both the microsomal and s olubilized P-450 is .ineffective for the PMR rates. These rates increase several times on isotopic dilution (D20 for H20) with the microsomes and diminish for the solubilized samples. Microsomes show 170/o residual, encaged, H20. Most of their paramagnetic PMR rate is due to the parama.gnetic iron located on the outside of microsomes. This is demonstrated by measurements with deuterated samples to which 190/o H20 had been added. Hence, the solubilized P-450 is homogeneous regarding PMR, but the microsomes are not

    Solvent Proton Magnetic Relaxation in Solution of Rabbit Liver Cytochrome P450. On the Corfelation Time for the Electron Proton Dipole-Dipole Interaction

    Structural parameters can be derived from PMR measurements if the correlation time fdr the spin interactions is known. The relaxation rates induced by the ferric haem-iron of cyt P450 were found to be frequency independent from 10 to 37 MHz. The possible limits for the correlation time according to Solomon\u27s theory are discussed with regard to the possible existence of a water molecule at the sixth coordination site of the haem-iron. No definite conclusion could be reached in this respect, but the results are definetely in favour of a haem environment which can accomodate several water molecules exchanging quickly with the bulk of solvent

    Full phase stabilization of a Yb:fiber femtosecond frequency comb via high-bandwidth transducers

    Get PDF
    We present full phase stabilization of an amplified Yb:fiber femtosecond frequency comb using an intra-cavity electro-optic modulator and an acousto-optic modulator. These transducers provide high servo bandwidths of 580 kHz and 250 kHz for frep and fceo, producing a robust and low phase noise fiber frequency comb. The comb was self-referenced with an f - 2f interferometer and phase locked to an ultra-stable optical reference used for the JILA Sr optical clock at 698 nm, exhibiting 0.21 rad and 0.47 rad of integrated phase errors (over 1 mHz - 1 MHz) respectively. Alternatively, the comb was locked to two optical references at 698 nm and 1064 nm, obtaining 0.43 rad and 0.14 rad of integrated phase errors respectively

    A systematic literature review and meta-analysis of community pharmacist-led interventions to optimise the use of antibiotics.

    AIMS: The aim of this systematic review is to assess the effects of community pharmacist-led interventions to optimise the use of antibiotics and identify which interventions are most effective. METHODS: This review was conducted according to the PRISMA guidelines (PROSPERO: CRD42020188552). PubMed, EMBASE and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials were searched for (randomised) controlled trials. Included interventions were required to target antibiotic use, be set in the community pharmacy context, and be pharmacist-led. Primary outcomes were quality of antibiotic supply and adverse effects while secondary outcomes included patient-reported outcomes. Risk of bias was assessed using the 'Cochrane suggested risk of bias criteria' and narrative synthesis of primary outcomes conducted. RESULTS: Seventeen studies were included covering in total 3822 patients (mean age 45.6 years, 61.9% female). Most studies used educational interventions. Three studies reported on primary outcomes, 12 on secondary outcomes and two on both. Three studies reported improvements in quality of dispensing, interventions led to more intensive symptom assessment (up to 30% more advice given) and a reduction of over-the-counter supply up to 53%. Three studies led to higher consumer satisfaction, effects on adherence from nine studies were mixed (risk difference 0.04 [-0.02, 0.10]). All studies had unclear or high risks of bias across at least one domain, with large heterogeneity between studies. CONCLUSIONS: Our review suggests some positive results from pharmacist-led interventions, but the interventions do not seem sufficiently effective as currently implemented. This review should be interpreted as exploratory research, as more high-quality research is needed
