Industrial Use of Semantics
Authors: Rodriguez-Herola Victor
Published: May 2010

The North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (NATO) is shifting towards Net-centric operations paradigms driven by the nature of the new missions that the Alliance will likely be facing in the coming years. This new situation has forced the Alliance to pursue the achievement of the so-called NATO Network-Enabled Capability (NNEC). In this framework, the concept of a system of systems should give way to the new paradigm of federation of services, where any capability needs to be seen as a loosely-couple service. From the perspective of any of these services, one of the biggest issues will be to discover available services and, more importantly, the information provided for such services can be consumed. For this purpose, we present in this chapter the use of Semantic Web as a technology that will facilitate the explicit description of the services available on the Net that will eventually help in selecting the right services. The technology will also mediate between service consumers and service providers, so information is given a well-defined meaning and is comprehensible. Based on the foundations of the Semantic Web, we propose a concept demonstrator called SISearch, where well defined vocabularies from apparently different domains are defined by using ontology languages. Then, these different vocabularies are interpreted with respect to the vocabulary defined by a potential service consumer. Assisted by this interpretation and by inference services, the SISearch will translate both consumer-based queries to service provider specific-queries (using different vocabularies), and aggregating and interpreting the results with respect to the service consumer vocabulary. This approach will allow extending to new potential service consumer or service providers without having to develop specific modules or components.

Authors: Aleman-Meza Boanerges
Published: May 2010

This chapter highlights the benefits of semantics for analysis of the collaboration network in a bibliography dataset. Metadata of publications was used for extracting keywords and terms, which can be the starting point towards building a taxonomy of topics. The aggregated effect of the topics over all publications of an author can be used to determine his/her areas of expertise. We also highlight the value of using a taxonomy of topics in searching experts on a given topic.

Information Transmission Security
Authors: Ramachandra Manjunath
Published: May 2010

The data transactions over a web based supply chain are prone to security threats as the internet is involved all the way. The internet happens to be an open forum easily accessible to the general public. It is quite possible that the data gets hacked or faked resulting in financial losses. Worse, it may not reach the intended recipient at all, defeating the purpose of the usage of the web. However, it should not be a cause of concern. With appropriate pre processing of the information getting uploaded on to the web, it should be possible to see that the data does not fall in to the wrong hands and reaches the intended recipients. The required tools and techniques are introduced in this chapter.
Human Airway Eosinophils Respond to Chemoattractants with Greater Eosinophil-Derived Neurotoxin Release, Adherence to Fibronectin, and Activation of the Ras–ERK Pathway When Compared with Blood Eosinophils

Published: May 2010

Human blood eosinophils exposed ex vivo to hematopoietic cytokines (e.g., IL-5 or GM-CSF) subsequently display enhanced responsiveness to numerous chemoattractants, such as chemokines, platelet-activating factor, or FMLP, through a process known as priming. Airway eosinophils, obtained by bronchoalveolar lavage after segmental Ag challenge, also exhibit enhanced responsiveness to selected chemoattractants, suggesting that they are primed during cell trafficking from the blood to the airway. Earlier work has shown that chemoattractants stimulate greater activation of ERK1 and ERK2 following IL-5 priming in vitro, thus revealing that ERK1/ERK2 activity can be a molecular readout of priming under these circumstances. Because few studies have examined the intracellular mechanisms regulating priming as it relates to human airway eosinophils, we evaluated the responsiveness of blood and airway eosinophils to chemoattractants (FMLP, platelet-activating factor, CCL11, CCL5, CXCL8) with respect to degranulation, adherence to fibronectin, or Ras–ERK signaling cascade activation. When compared with blood eosinophils, airway eosinophils exhibited greater FMLP-stimulated eosinophil-derived neurotoxin release as well as augmented FMLP- and CCL11-stimulated adherence to fibronectin. In airway eosinophils, FMLP, CCL11, and CCL5 stimulated greater activation of Ras or ERK1/ERK2 when compared with baseline. Ras activation by FMLP in blood eosinophils was also enhanced following IL-5 priming. These studies are consistent with a model of in vivo priming of eosinophils by IL-5 or related cytokines following allergen challenge, and further demonstrate the key role of priming in the chemoattractant-stimulated responses of eosinophils. These data also demonstrate the importance of the Ras–ERK signaling pathway in the regulation of eosinophil responses to chemoattractants in the airway. Human airway eosinophils respond to several chemoattractants with increased activation of the Ras–ERK cascade, eosinophil-derived neurotoxin release, and adherence to fibronectin relative to blood eosinophils.

Published: May 2010

The advent of improved biomarkers promises to enhance the clinical care for patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and other immune-mediated disorders. We have developed an innovative approach to broadly assess the cytokine responsiveness of human PBMCs using a multistimulant panel and multiplexed immunoassays. The objective of this study was to demonstrate this concept by determining whether cytokine profiles could discriminate RA patients according to disease stage (early versus late) or severity. A 10-cytokine profile, consisting of IL-12, CCL4, TNF-α, IL-4, and IL-10 release in response to stimulation with anti-CD3/anti-CD28, CXCL8 and IL-6 in response to CMV and EBV lysate, and IL-17A, GM-CSF, and CCL2 in response to human heat shock protein 60, easily discriminated the early RA group from controls. These data were used to create an immune response score, which performed well in distinguishing the early RA patients from controls and also correlated with several markers of disease severity among the patients with late RA. In contrast, the same 10-cytokine profile assessed in serum was far less effective in discriminating the groups. Thus, our approach lays the foundation for the development of immunologic “signatures” that could be useful in predicting disease course and monitoring the outcomes of therapy among patients with immune-mediated diseases.

Published: May 2010

Stable engraftment of human lymphoid tissue in NOD/scid–IL-2Rγcnull mice after CD34+ hematopoietic stem cell reconstitution permits the evaluation of ongoing HIV-1 infection for weeks to months. We demonstrate that HIV-1–infected rodents develop virus-specific cellular immune responses. CD8+ cell depletion, 2 or 5–7 wk after viral infection, resulted in a significant increase of HIV-1 load, robust immune cell activation, and cytopathology in lymphoid tissues but preserved CD4/CD8 double-positive thymic T cell pools. Human CD8+ cells reappeared in circulation as early as 2–3 wk. These data support a role of CD8+ cells in viral surveillance and the relevance of this humanized mouse model for the studies of HIV-1 pathobiology and virus-specific immunity.
PLZF Induces the Spontaneous Acquisition of Memory/Effector Functions in T Cells Independently of NKT Cell-Related Signals

Published: May 2010

The broad complex, tramtrack, bric-a-brac–zinc finger (BTB-ZF) transcription factor promyelocytic leukemia zinc finger (PLZF) is required for development of the characteristic innate/effector functions of NKT cells. In this study, we report the characterization and functional analysis of transgenic mouse T cells with forced expression of PLZF. PLZF expression was sufficient to provide some memory/effector functions to T cells without the need for Ag stimulation or proliferation. The acquisition of this phenotype did not require the proliferation typically associated with T cell activation. Furthermore, PLZF transgenic cells maintained a diverse TCR repertoire, indicating that there was no preferential expansion of specific clones. Functionally, PLZF transgenic CD4 and CD8 lymphocytes were similar to wild type memory cells, in that they had similar requirements for costimulation and exhibited a similar pattern of cytokine secretion, with the notable exception that transgenic T cells produced significantly increased levels of IL-17. Whereas transgene-mediated PLZF expression was not sufficient to rescue NKT cell development in Fyn- or signaling lymphocytic activation-associated protein (SAP)-deficient mice, the acquisition of memory/effector functions induced by PLZF in conventional T cells was independent of Fyn and SAP. These data show that PLZF is sufficient to promote T cell effector functions and that PLZF acts independently of SAP- and Fyn-mediated signaling pathways.
Actuator fault‐tolerant control based on set separation
Authors: Ocampo‐Martinez C. , De Doná J. A. , Seron M. M.
Published: May 2010

In this paper, an actuator fault‐tolerant control (FTC) strategy based on set separation is presented. The proposed scheme employs a standard configuration consisting of a bank of observers which match the different fault situations that can occur in the plant. Each of these observers has an associated estimation error with a distinctive behaviour when a estimator matches the current fault situation of the plant. With this information from each observer, a fault diagnosis and isolation (FDI) module is able to reconfigure the control loop by selecting the appropriate stabilising controller from a bank of precomputed control laws, each of them related to one of the considered fault models. The control law consists of a reference feedforward term and a feedback gain multiplying the state estimate provided by the matching observer. A novel feature of the proposed scheme resides in the decision criteria of the FDI, which is based on the computation of sets towards which the output estimation errors related to each fault scenario and for each control configuration converge. Conditions for the design of the FDI module and for fault tolerant closed‐loop stability are given, and the effectiveness of the approach is illustrated by means of a numerical example.

An effective mask‐free method for fabricating high‐aspect‐ratio pillarlike nanostructures over a large area of a quartz surface via a simple O2 and CF4 two‐step reactive ion etching (RIE) procedure is developed. The nanostructured quartz surfaces are successfully combined with the engineered viral particles derived from hepatitis B virus capsid, yielding a novel 3D assay system with attomolar sensitivity, which has great potential for use in sensitive and early detection of various disease markers.
A Controllable Self‐Assembly Method for Large‐Scale Synthesis of Graphene Sponges and Free‐Standing Graphene Films
Authors: Liu Fei , Seo Tae Seok
Published: May 2010

A simple method to prepare large‐scale graphene sponges and free‐standing graphene films using a speed vacuum concentrator is presented. During the centrifugal evaporation process, the graphene oxide (GO) sheets in the aqueous suspension are assembled to generate network‐linked GO sponges or a series of multilayer GO films, depending on the temperature of a centrifugal vacuum chamber. While sponge‐like bulk GO materials (GO sponges) are produced at 40 °C, uniform free‐standing GO films of size up to 9 cm2 are generated at 80 °C. The thickness of GO films can be controlled from 200 nm to 1 µm based on the concentration of the GO colloidal suspension and evaporation temperature. The synthesized GO films exhibit excellent transparency, typical fluorescent emission signal, and high flexibility with a smooth surface and condensed density. Reduced GO sponges and films with less than 5 wt% oxygen are produced through a thermal annealing process at 800 °C with H2/Ar flow. The structural flexibility of the reduced GO sponges, which have a highly porous, interconnected, 3D network, as well as excellent electrochemical properties of the reduced GO film with respect to electrode kinetics for the [Fe(CN)6]3−/4− redox system, are demonstrated.
pH‐Responsive Nanoporous Silica Colloidal Membranes
Authors: Schepelina Olga , Poth Nils , Zharov Ilya
Published: May 2010

Free‐standing colloidal membranes (nanofrits) with varied thickness and nanopore size are fabricated and modified with pH‐responsive poly(2‐(dimethylamino)ethyl methacrylate) brushes. The polymer‐modified nanofrits demonstrate excellent gating behavior for molecular diffusion: in the presence of acid, the diffusion rate of positively charged species significantly decreases. Increasing the polymer length and membrane thickness and decreasing the nanopore size leads to the complete acid‐controlled gating of the membranes.
Discrete element method‐based models for the consolidation of particle packings in paper‐coating applications
Authors: Pianet G. , Bertrand F. , Vidal D. , Mallet B.
Published: May 2010

This paper concerns the use of the discrete element method (DEM) for the three‐dimensional simulation of the consolidation of particle packings in a surrounding liquid such as those in paper‐coating applications. The accuracy of DEM is first assessed using X‐ray microtomography experiments in the case of polydisperse particle distributions. It is shown that simulations that only account for gravitational and contact forces are in excellent agreement with literature data. However, paper‐coating applications involve more complex mechanisms governing the transient particle/pigment consolidation: compression effects during metering and calendering operations, and drag forces during the drainage of the liquid into the basesheet. To simulate the deposition of particles on the basesheet under drainage conditions more realistically, three modelling strategies are considered in this work, which respectively take into account: (1) gravity, (2) mechanical compression and (3) uniform drag. The results show that the first two strategies yield stratified structures and similar bulk porosities, and that the use of a uniform drag leads to significant changes in the particle dynamics and packing properties. Finally, exploratory results with a model for the two‐way coupling between the dynamics of the liquid and solid phases reveal its potential for predicting the compression of wet granular media.

Assessment of the ambient air quality at the Integrated Industrial Estate‐Pantnagar through the air quality index (AQI) and exceedence factor (EF)
Authors: Banerjee Tirthankar , Srivastava Rajeev Kumar
Published: May 2010

In the last few decades, global concerns have been raised about the health impacts caused by deterioration in the air quality mainly due to large‐scale industrialization and urbanization. In order to assess the extent of impacts due to rapid industrialization and commercial activities at the Integrated Industrial Estate‐Pantnagar (IIE‐Pantnagar), the ambient air quality was continuously monitored from June 2007 to May 2008. The measured 24‐h average criteria pollutants, namely, sulfur dioxide (SO2), oxides of nitrogen (NO2), respirable suspended particulate matter (RPM) and suspended particulate matter (SPM) were used for the development of the air quality index (AQI). Among the monitored air quality variables, SPM revealed as the major pollutant followed by RPM with annual average concentrations of 281.8 and 137.6 µg/m3, respectively. However, the average concentrations of gaseous pollutants (SO2 and NO2) were 21.1 and 21.7 µg/m3 respectively, which were lower than the prescribed national standards. The computed AQI reveals a gradual increasing trend with a range of 48.02–79.25, signifying the prevalence of moderate to heavy pollution levels. A comparison of the exceedence factors (EFs) divulges that suspended and respirable particulate matters are the most significant polluting agents, causing maximum deterioration in the ambient air quality.

Antibacterial properties of raw and degummed silk with nanosilver in various conditions
Authors: Moazami Atousa , Montazer Majid , Rashidi Abousaied , Rahimi Mohammad Karim
Published: May 2010

This article is concerned with the effects of nanosized silver colloids on the antibacterial properties of silk fibers against two kinds of bacteria: Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli. Different concentrations of silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs; 10, 25, 50, and 100 ppm) were applied to silk fibers by an exhaust method. The effect of medium pH on the Ag NP uptake on the fibers was studied. Also, sodium carbonate and sodium chloride were added to the liquor as auxiliaries. Scanning electron microscopy was used to observe the morphology of the silk fibers. The antibacterial activity was examined by a bacterial counting method. Energy‐dispersive X‐ray spectroscopy was also used to show the elements on the surface of the silk fibers. We observed that the antibacterial activity increased with silver treatment. It also increased with decreasing pH, especially for the raw silk. The use of NaCl improved the uniformity of the Ag NPs on the fiber surface and increased the antibacterial activities. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci, 2010
Hyperbranched polyester based on the core + AB2 approach: Synthesis and structural investigation
Authors: Jena Kishore K. , Narayan Ramanuj , Raju K. V. S. N.
Published: May 2010

In this study, structural buildup studies during the synthesis of fifth‐generation hyperbranched polyesters (HBPs) from 2‐bis(hydroxymethyl) propionic acid (AB2) and glycerol (core) by a one‐pot process were undertaken. The variations in the degree of polymerization, hydrogen bonding, rheology, and role of cyclization were studied by NMR, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, rheometry, and matrix‐assisted laser desorption/ionization time of flight. The degree of branching was calculated at different time intervals from the integral peak areas of the terminal, linear, and dendritic repeating units of 1H‐NMR and 13C‐NMR. The rheology study performed on the HBPs revealed that hydrogen bonds played an important role in the determination of the melt viscosity. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci, 2010
Carbon nanotube reinforced rigid‐rod polyimide
Authors: Naebe Minoo , Wang Jing , Xue Yuhua , Wang Xungai , Lin Tong
Published: May 2010

Multiwalled carbon nanotube/rigid‐rod polyimide composite films have been prepared by casting a solution of precursor polymer (polyamide acid) containing multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) into thin films, followed by a thermal imidization treatment. The composite films were characterized by FTIR, TEM, DSC, TGA and TMA, and the film tensile properties were also examined. The presence of 1.0% MWNTs in the polymer matrix led to more than twofold increase in tensile strength of the rigid‐rod polyimide composite films and improved thermal stability, but reduced in thermal deformation. However, the tensile property did not show further increase when the film contained higher composition of MWNTs. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci, 2010

The German Lignocellulose Feedstock Biorefinery Project
Authors: Michels Jochen , Wagemann Kurt
Published: May 2010

Well‐known wood‐pulping processes are optimized on the generation of cellulose while other constituents like hemicelluloses and lignin become denatured during treatment excluding their higher valuable utilization as compounds. The main objective of the joint project Lignocellulose Feedstock Biorefinery (2007–2009) was the development of a sustainable, integrated process for treatment and component separation of domestic lignocellulosic raw material, such as beech and poplar. All components (extracts, cellulose, hemicelluloses, and lignin) should be fractionized and conserved in a form, which allows further processing (biotechnological and/or chemical) for the generation of added‐value products from each fraction. Pre‐treatment and component separation on the basis of the OrganoSolv pulping process could be optimized in 1‐kg‐scale for the demands of the biorefinery and successfully transferred to a continuous process in 10‐kg‐scale with solvent recovery. Pre‐treatments and component separations in ionic liquids are possible, but economically they are not competitive. The results of the techno‐economic and ecological assessment showed that it is possible to run a lignocellulose feedstock biorefinery with a capacity of about 400 000 t/a wood in an economically and environmentally sound way. A conceptual design of a pilot plant was generated. Its realization and operation will become part of a follow‐up project proposal.

Green biorefinery demonstration plant in Havelland (Germany)
Authors: Kamm Birgit , Hille Christoph , Schönicke Petra , Dautzenberg Geertje
Published: May 2010

The Green Biorefinery (GBR) is a complex and full‐integrated system of environment‐ and resource‐protecting technologies for comprehensive material and energetic use of green biomasses. GBR's are multiproduct systems and perform and produce in accordance with the physiology of the corresponding plant material preserving and using the diversity of the synthesis generated by nature. In addition to the general biorefinery concept, GBR's are based strongly on sustainable principles (sustainable land use, sustainable raw materials, gentle technologies, autarkic energy supply, etc.). Existing agricultural structures of the green crop processing industry, such as green crop drying plants, offer good opportunities for the implementation of biorefinery technologies that will help overcoming energy‐intensive and partially obsolete technologies, such as the thermal drying of feedstock. Accordingly, the primary fractionation of green biomasses and the integrated production of proteins, fermentation media, animal feed, and biogas was projected and will be realized in a demonstration facility directly linked to the existing green crop drying plant, Selbelang, in Havelland (Germany, state Brandenburg, 50 km west of Berlin). The primary refinery will have an annual capacity of 20 000 tons alfalfa and grass biomass and can be diversified in modules for the production of platform chemicals and synthesis gas.

We discuss the processes, products, operating costs and climate protection effects through examination of the basic engineering of the primary refinery. The production site and planned demonstration facility are also presented. Copyright © 2010 Society of Chemical Industry and John Wiley & Sons, Ltd

Knowlege of, attitudes toward, and acceptance of genetically modified organisms among prospective teachers of biology, home economics, and grade school in Slovenia
Authors: Šorgo Andrej , Ambrožič‐Dolinšek Jana
Published: May 2010

The objective of this study was to investigate knowledge, opinions, and attitudes toward, as well as readiness to accept genetically modified organisms (GMOs) among prospective primary and secondary Slovene teachers. Our findings are that prospective teachers want to take an active role in rejecting or supporting individual GMOs and are aware of the importance of education about genetically modified organism (GMO) items and their potential significance for society. Through cluster analysis, we recognized four clusters of GMOs, separated by degree of genetically modified acceptability. GM plants and microorganisms which are recognized as useful are accepted. They are undecided about organisms used in research or medicine and reject organisms used for food consumption and for fun. There are only weak correlations between knowledge and attitudes and knowledge and acceptance of GMOs, and a strong correlation between attitudes and acceptance. The appropriate strategies and actions for improving university courses in biotechnology are discussed.
