A hop‐by‐hop delay‐constrained routing algorithm with explicit loop avoidance and backup routing information
Authors: Zhang Baoxian , Chen Changjia , Mouftah Hussein T.
Published: June 2004

QoS Routing is crucial for QoS provisioning in high‐speed networks. In general, QoS routing can be classified into two paradigms: source routing and hop‐by‐hop routing. In source routing, the entire path to the destination node of a communication request is locally computed at the source node based on the global state that it maintains, which does not scale well to large networks. In hop‐by‐hop routing, a path‐selecting process is shared among intermediate nodes between the source node and the destination node, which can largely improve the protocol scalability.

In this paper, we present the design of hop‐by‐hop routing with backup route information such that each intermediate node can recursively update the best knownfeasiblepath, if possible, by collectively utilizing the routing information gathered thus far and the information that it locally stores. Such a route is kept as abackuproute and its path cost is used as a reference to guide the subsequent routing process to search for a lower‐cost constrained path and avoid performance degradation. In this way, the information gathered is maximally utilized for improved performance. We prove the correctness of our presented algorithm and deduce its worst message complexity to beO(∣V∣2), where ∣V∣ is the number of network nodes. Simulation results indicate that, however, the designed algorithm requires much fewer messages on average. Therefore it scales well with respect to the network size. Moreover, simulation results demonstrate that the cost performance of our algorithm is near‐optimal. Copyright © 2004 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
Proposal and experimental study of a high‐precision polycrystalline‐silicon film resistor with a quasi‐double‐layer structure
Authors: Shimamoto Hiromi , Ohnishi Kazuhiro , Shiba Takeo , Hashimoto Takashi , Kikuchi Toshiyuki , Tamaki Yooichi
Published: June 2004

We propose a high‐precision polycrystalline‐silicon film resistor having a quasi‐double‐layer (QDL) composed of a large‐grain layer and a small‐grain layer. The electrical characteristics of the polycrystalline‐silicon film resistor can be controlled by varying the shapes of the crystal grains. Therefore, we fabricated a QDL structure composed of a large‐grain layer with a resistance having a positive temperature coefficient and a small‐grain layer having a negative temperature coefficient by making the top of a small‐grain polycrystalline‐silicon film amorphous by ion implantation followed by recrystallization in thermal processing. This technique is equivalent to macroscopically controlling the grain diameter in the entire film. In this paper, the QDL structure is clearly (1) effective in lessening the effect of fluctuations in the deposited film thickness on variations in the resistance and (2) can control the resistance and its temperature coefficient by adjusting the ion implantation energy and varying the ratio of the large‐grain layer and the small‐grain layer. We also show that it is possible to produce a polycrystalline‐silicon film resistor having any temperature coefficient by using the proposed structure in the resistive elements. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Commentary: Adaptive immunity in the absence of innate immune responses? The un‐Tolled truth of the silent invaders
Authors: Ehlers Stefan
Published: June 2004

The development and expression of effective adaptive immunity is currently thought to hinge entirely upon inductor and effector mechanisms furnished by cells of the innate immune system. An obligate intracellular bacterium, the causative agent of human granulocytic anaplasmosis, apparently defies this dogma: in a mouse model of infection, Anaplasma phagocytophilum is controlled by specific lymphocyte immunity even in the absence of Toll‐like receptor (TLR)2, TLR4, the TLR‐adaptor protein MyD88, inducible nitric oxide synthase or the gp91 component of the NADPH oxidase complex. A. phagocytophilum infection biology raises some interesting questions about the development of resistance to innate defense strategies by vector‐borne pathogens, and challenges our current bias concerning the relative importance and the mode of interaction of the innate and adaptive arms of infection control in vertebrates.

Temporal dynamics of ipsilateral and contralateral motor activity during voluntary finger movement
Authors: Huang Ming‐Xiong , Harrington Deborah L. , Paulson Kim M. , Weisend Michael P. , Lee Roland R.
Published: June 2004

The role of motor activity ipsilateral to movement remains a matter of debate, due in part to discrepancies among studies in the localization of this activity, when observed, and uncertainty about its time course. The present study used magnetoencephalography (MEG) to investigate the spatial localization and temporal dynamics of contralateral and ipsilateral motor activity during the preparation of unilateral finger movements. Eight right‐handed normal subjects carried out self‐paced finger‐lifting movements with either their dominant or nondominant hand during MEG recordings. The Multi‐Start Spatial Temporal multi‐dipole method was used to analyze MEG responses recorded during the movement preparation and early execution stage (−800 msec to +30 msec) of movement. Three sources were localized consistently, including a source in the contralateral primary motor area (M1) and in the supplementary motor area (SMA). A third source ipsilateral to movement was located significantly anterior, inferior, and lateral to M1, in the premotor area (PMA) (Brodmann area [BA] 6). Peak latency of the SMA and the ipsilateral PMA sources significantly preceded the peak latency of the contralateral M1 source by 60 msec and 52 msec, respectively. Peak dipole strengths of both the SMA and ipsilateral PMA sources were significantly weaker than was the contralateral M1 source, but did not differ from each other. Altogether, the results indicated that the ipsilateral motor activity was associated with premotor function, rather than activity in M1. The time courses of activation in SMA and ipsilateral PMA were consistent with their purported roles in planning movements. Hum. Brain Mapp. 23:26–39, 2004. © 2004 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
Preparation of porcine carotid arteries for vascular tissue engineering applications

Published: June 2004

Biomaterials derived from tissue continue to offer viable alternatives to synthetic materials when autologous materials are unavailable for transplantation due to their unique chemical and mechanical properties. Tissue processing aims to stabilize the material against host degradation and render it immunologically inert by removing cellular material and crosslinking the structural proteins. It is clear that different approaches taken to achieve these goals have very different chemical and mechanical effects on the material. We describe herein the development of a tissue processing methodology to generate acellular scaffolds for tissue engineering small‐diameter vascular grafts. Carotid arteries were isolated from Great White pigs and exposed to various solvent treatments, xylene, butanol, and ethanol to determine optimal parameters for the extraction of host lipids. The tissue was then exposed to a limited proteolysis with trypsin to disrupt cellular protein. This resulted in a controlled digestion that disrupted porcine nuclear DNA and cleared bulk cellular protein, leaving the more resistant structural proteins largely intact and retaining the bulk mechanical properties of the matrix. Histological analysis and scanning electron microscopy illustrated the complete removal of intact cells and nuclear material. The decellularized graft was stabilized by crosslinking with the photooxidative dye methylene green in the presence of 30,000 LUX of broad‐band light energy. High‐performance liquid chromatography analysis showed that the crosslinked tissue yielded 78.6% less hydroxyproline, compared with control tissue, after 20 h incubation with pepsin. Analysis of the crosslinked vessels' burst‐pressure and stress–strain characteristics have shown comparable mechanical properties to those of control vessels. Assessment of in vitro cell adhesion and compatibility was conducted by seeding primary human umbilical vein endothelial cells and adult human vascular smooth muscle cells onto the lumenal and ablumenal surfaces, respectively; these cells were shown to adhere and proliferate under traditional static culture conditions. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Confocal imaging of biofilm formation process using fluoroprobed Escherichia coli and fluoro‐stained exopolysaccharide
Authors: Maeyama Ryo , Mizunoe Yoshimitsu , Anderson James M. , Tanaka Masao , Matsuda Takehisa
Published: June 2004

We developed a novel method of evaluating biofilm architecture on a synthetic material using green fluorescent protein‐expressing Escherichia coli and red fluorescence staining of exopolysaccharides. Confocal laser scanning microscopy observation revealed the time course of the change in the in situ three‐dimensional structural features of biofilm on a polyurethane film without structural destruction: initially adhered cells are grown to form cellular aggregates and secrete exopolysaccharides. These cells were spottily distributed on the surface at an early incubation time but fused to form a vertically grown biofilm with incubation time. Fluorescence intensity, which is a measure of the number of cells, determined using a fluorometer and biofilm thickness determined from confocal laser scanning microscopy vertical images were found to be effective for quantification of time‐dependent growth of biofilms. The curli (surface‐located fibers specifically binding to fibronectin and laminin)–producing Escherichia coli strain, YMel, significantly proliferated on fibronectin‐coated polyurethane, whereas the curli‐deficient isogenic mutant, YMel‐1, did not. The understanding of biofilm architecture in molecular and morphological events and new fluorescence microscopic techniques may help in the logical surface design of biomaterials with a high antibacterial potential. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
