Some properties and cDNA cloning of proteinaceous toxins from two species of lionfish (Pterois antennata and Pterois volitans)

Lionfish, members of the genera Pterois, Parapterois and Dendrochirus, are well known to be venomous, having venomous glandular tissues in dorsal, pelvic and anal spines. The lionfish toxins have been shown to cross-react with the stonefish toxins by neutralization tests using the commercial stonefish antivenom, although their chemical properties including structures have been little characterized. In this study, an antiserum against neoverrucotoxin, the stonefish Synanceia verrucosa toxin, was first raised in a guinea pig and used in immunoblotting and inhibition immunoblotting to confirm that two species of Pterois lionfish (P. antennata and P. volitans) contain a 75kDa protein (corresponding to the toxin subunit) cross-reacting with neoverrucotoxin. Then, the amino acid sequences of the P. antennata and P. volitans toxins were successfully determined by cDNA cloning using primers designed from the highly conserved sequences of the stonefish toxins. Notably, either α-subunits (699 amino acid residues) or β-subunits (698 amino acid residues) of the P. antennata and P. volitans toxins share as high as 99% sequence identity with each other. Furthermore, both α- and β-subunits of the lionfish toxins exhibit high sequence identity (70-80% identity) with each other and also with the β-subunits of the stonefish toxins. As reported for the stonefish toxins, the lionfish toxins also contain a B30.2/SPRY domain (comprising nearly 200 amino acid residues) in the C-terminal region of each subunit.

Defect analysis and thermal effects of nanolasers and emitters

Photonic integrated circuits (PIC) are becoming a key contender for the next generation of communication. Two main barriers exist for the seamless integration of electronics and photonics, the integration of active photonic components on the silicon chip, and their downsizing towards electronic dimensions. 
III-Vs with their tunable direct bandgaps are the materials of choice for integrated lasers on Si. IBM has achieved room-temperature III-V optically pumped microdisk lasers monolithically on Si. Defects in the III-V material when grown on Si is a main factor in reducing the efficiency of optical devices, and can also lead to catastrophic failure of devices. Hence the ability to analyze and preferably control their impact is essential for integrated photonics.
Another equally grand challenge for advanced technologies today is thermal management of photonic devices on Si, at all levels of system integration from the package down to individual devices. Whereas this is true for electronics, thermal effects are even more severe for photonic devices. Although downscaling of photonic components is ultimately limited by diffraction, thermal effects (wavelength shift and self-heating), in practice play a great role.
The present proposal addresses these two great challenges in integrated photonics: a) Defect analysis of III/V nanoscale photonic devices – morphological and device characterization to understand the impact of material defects on device, reliability studies. b) Nanoscale thermal management of active III-V lasers on Si – by a combination of in-situ nanoscale thermal characterization and thermal stress simulation.
To address this, I will apply my extensive experience and skills in thermal characterization and defect analysis which complement the existing competences at IBM, on III-V materials, device fabrication and scanning thermal microscopy.
Numerical Investigation of Soot Formation in Turbulent Diffusion Flame With Strong Turbulence–Chemistry Interaction

The present work is aimed at examining the ability of different models in predicting soot formation in Delft flame III, which is a non-premixed pilot stabilized natural gas flame. The turbulence-chemistry interactions are modeled using a laminar steady flamelet model (SLFM). One step and two step models are used to describe the formation, growth, and oxidation of soot particles. One Step is an empirical model which solves the soot mass fraction equation. The two-step models are semi empirical models, where the soot formation is modelled by solving the governing transport equations for the soot mass fraction and normalized radical nuclei concentration. The effect of radiative heat transfer due to gas and soot particulates is included using P1 approximation. The absorption coefficient of the mixture is modeled using the weighted sum of gray gases model (WSGGM). The turbulence-chemistry interaction effects on soot formation are studied using a single variable probability density function (PDF) in terms of a normalized temperature or mixture fraction. The results shown in this work clearly elucidate the effect of radiation and turbulence-chemistry interaction on soot formation. The soot volume fraction decreases with the introduction of radiation interactions, which is consistence with the theoretical predictions. It has also been observed in the current work that the soot volume fraction is sensitive to the variable used in the PDF to incorporate the turbulence interactions.
Stability and sensitivity methods for industrial design

The increasing environmental awareness of the European society has been always present in the aeronautical community, industry and research centres, having a definite influence on the way the aircraft of the future should be. In this line, the ACARE Vision for 2020, a Group of Renowned Personalities in the aeronautical field, has formulated a clear set of requirements for civil transport aircraft operations in order to reach the following specific environmental goals: halving perceived aircraft noise, 50% cut in CO2 emissions per passenger-km and 80% cut in NOx emissions.
Many of these goals have a direct connection with the aerodynamic performance of the aircraft; mainly with aerodynamic technologies. Most of the elements of the aerodynamics of conventional aircraft are modelled and understood to some degree but reliable solutions are not available due to new challenges appearing as the technology matures. One of the most common problems is related to stability analysis for configurations in the limits of the flight envelope or when unsteady effects are dominant. This challenge is the object of the research of SSeMID, and is the focus of the international training plan for young engineers employed within the network. The project will provide valuable information for such aerodynamic structures paving the way to its complete industrialization while increasing the academic knowledge regarding instability mechanisms and covering the necessary skills and knowledge to train experts in this area
WATER HEATER

A water heater for heating water as it is being delivered, commonly called an "instantaneous water heater". The heater includes a plurality of concentric tanks which are at least partially axially overlapping and which are spaced from one another to pass hot gases in heat transfer relationship with their sidewalls. The sidewalls of the tanks are generally cylindrical. The tanks are interconnected so as to permit the flow of water to and from each of them. An inlet manifold discharges into each tank, preferably along an axis which is skew to the central axis whereby to give the water, as it flows through the tank, both a circumferential and an axial component, thus aiding in keeping the tank clean and preventing thermal "stacking" of the water. the tanks are preferably formed from concentric half-shells which are welded together at their end seams, and which have telescopic necks projecting from their sidewalls that are welded together to form a structural joinder and a fluid interconnection. A burner is placed beneath the group of tanks with deflector jets which aid in confining the rising products of combustion to a relatively narrow cross-section, so as to inject a maximum BTU input into a relatively small heater cross-section.
TEXTILE DRYER

An apparatus for drying headwear is provided, including a main member, at least one light source, and at least one air source. The main member includes an outer surface configured for receiving a glove, and a plurality of apertures disposed along the outer surface.

The apertures are in communication with at least the air source.
Developing a disruptive and revolutionary tool for real time inline nanoparticle size measurement, for superior quality control and process efficiency.

Nanotechnology is rapidly growing in the pharmaceutical, chemical, food & beverage industries. The global market for Nano-based goods will reach €65 Billion by 2020. A regulator of growth is quality control of Nano particle (NP) size (PS) and size distribution (PSD). The size of NPs is a determinant of their properties e.g. a change in the NP size affects the efficacy and safety of drugs. Thus, the market for NP size measurement tools is rapidly growing and in 2017 was worth €274M. To date, there is no instrument able to measure NP PS and PSD inflow. Size measurement is done offline using Dynamic Light scattering (DLS) - requiring product sampling which is often impractical as it compromises the integrity of samples. DLS systems cannot measure NP size in turbid flowing suspensions and therefore, gives measurements after batches have been produced. Defective batches are discarded costing manufacturers €0.2-2M per event with ≥50% of all batches rejected. Poor quality control exposes consumers to increased risk. There is a need for NP size measurement tools able to measure NP suspensions inflow. InProcess-LSP was founded by highly skilled former employees of MSD/Merck in Netherlands. InProcess-LSP has developed the Nanoflowsizer (NFS) a novel instrument capable of real time, inline measurement of NP PS and PSD using Low Coherence Interferometry. The NFS will provide a remote measuring tool for continuous quality control. It will achieve a 0% batch rejection rate increasing quality processing speed by 99% eliminating the drawbacks of sampling. Manufacturers will have greater control and valuable insight for process optimisation. The advanced stage of development the prototype has attracted big pharmaceutical companies including Teva and Pfizer who are our industrial partners. Target users also include NP-based manufacturers in the food and beverage and in academia. The NFS project will achieve a revenue of €4.5M by 2020 and 20 new employees.
Regression-based Daugava River Flood Forecasting and Monitoring

The paper discusses the application of linear and symbolic regression to forecast and monitor river floods. Main tasks of the research are to find an analytical model of river flow and to forecast it. The challenges are a small set of flow measurements and a small number of input factors. Genetic programming is used in the task of symbolic regression. To train the model, historical data of the Daugava River monitoring station near Daugavpils city are used. Several regression scenarios are discussed and compared. Models obtained by the methods discussed in the research show good results and applicability in predicting the river flow and forecasting of the floods.
Randomised phase-II trial of CAPIRI (capecitabine, irinotecan) plus bevacizumab vs FOLFIRI (folinic acid, 5-fluorouracil, irinotecan) plus bevacizumab as first-line treatment of patients with unresectable/metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC)

To compare the efficacy and safety of CAPIRI+bevacizumab (Bev) in comparison with FOLFIRI+Bev as first-line treatment for patients with metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC).Patients were randomised to receive either FOLFIRI plus Bev 5 mg kg(-1) every 2 weeks (Arm-A) or CAPIRI plus Bev 7.5 mg kg(-1) every 3 weeks (Arm-B).Three hundred thirty-three patients (Arm-A=167; Arm-B=166) were enrolled into the study. No difference was observed in median progression-free survival (PFS) (10.0 and 8.9 months; P=0.64), overall survival (25.7 and 27.5 months; P=0.55) or response rates (45.5 and 39.8.7%; P=0.32) for FOLFIRI-Bev and CAPIRI-Bev, respectively. Patients treated with CAPIRI-Bev presented significantly higher incidence of diarrhoea (P=0.005), febrile neutropenia (P=0.003) and hand-foot skin reactions (P=0.02) compared with patients treated with FOLFIRI-Bev. Treatment delays (P=0.05), dose reduction (P<0.001) and treatment discontinuation owing to toxicity (P=0.01) occurred more frequently in the CAPIRI-Bev arm.The PFS of FOLFIRI-BEV is not superior to that observed with the CAPIRI-Bev regimen. CAPIRI-Bev has a less favourable toxicity profile, requiring dose reductions, in order to be considered as an option in first-line treatment of patients with mCRC.
Origin of Nonlinear Device Performance with Illuminated Sun Intensity in Mesoscopic Sb2S3-sensitized Photoelectrochemical Solar Cells using Cobalt Electrolyte

ABSTRACT: The mesoscopic Sb 2 S 3 -sensitized photoelectrochemical solar cells using cobalt redox electrolyteexhibit nonlinear behavior of power conversion efficiency with illuminated sun intensity. From themeasurement of bulk diffusion and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy studies, we suggestthat the nonlinearity of device performance with illuminated sun intensity is attributed not to theslow bulk diffusion problem of cobalt electrolyte but to the limited mass transport in narrowed porevolume in mesoscopic TiO 2 electrode.Keywords : Sb 2 S 3 , Photoelectrochemical solar cell, TiO 2 , Cobalt electrolyte Received September 15, 2011: Accepted September 29, 2011 1. Introduction Since Gratzel et al. 1) reported a mesoscopic dye-sensitized photoelectrochemical solar cell with highpower conversion efficiency over 11% at 1 sun illumination,the sensitized photoelectrochemical solar cells have beenintensively studied due to their distinguished device structurefrom conventional p-n heterojunction solar cells. The sensi-tized solar cells are comprised to mesoscopic photoanode,sensitizer, and redox electrolyte which has correspondingrole of electron conductor, light absorber, and hole con-ductor, respectively. This unique device architecture enablesthe sensitized solar cells to hold cost-effectiveness.Recently inorganic semiconductors have been con-sidered as a promising alternative of conventional dyesbecause of their peculiar properties such as easy chargeseparation by higher dipole moment, ~10 fold higherextinction coefficient than Ru/organic dyes, convenientbandgap tunability by size control, and multiple excitongeneration.

Features extraction in anterior and posterior cruciate ligaments analysis

The main aim of this research is finding the feature vectors of the anterior and posterior cruciate ligaments (ACL and PCL). These feature vectors have to clearly define the ligaments structure and make it easier to diagnose them. Extraction of feature vectors is obtained by analysis of both anterior and posterior cruciate ligaments. This procedure is performed after the extraction process of both ligaments. In the first stage in order to reduce the area of analysis a region of interest including cruciate ligaments (CL) is outlined in order to reduce the area of analysis. In this case, the fuzzy C-means algorithm with median modification helping to reduce blurred edges has been implemented. After finding the region of interest (ROI), the fuzzy connectedness procedure is performed. This procedure permits to extract the anterior and posterior cruciate ligament structures. In the last stage, on the basis of the extracted anterior and posterior cruciate ligament structures, 3-dimensional models of the anterior and posterior cruciate ligament are built and the feature vectors created. This methodology has been implemented in MATLAB and tested on clinical T1-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) slices of the knee joint. The 3D display is based on the Visualization Toolkit (VTK).
