Quality Comes to the Pacific (1998)

Great Kiwi ingenuity, the Pacific Spirit and the Ozzy battlers are phrases that we hear so often in the southern hemisphere. However, these are not concepts that necessarily fit well into the food industry. The Pacific region has received a strident clarion call that the firs to four food industries must meet the relatively very strict standards of international trade. All fish processors wishing to continue trading with North American clients must be equipped with plans for quality maintenance under the strict format of Hazard Analysis Critical Control Points (HACCP). The system is fairly standard although strict in its concept.
Temporal texture modeling (2002)

Temporal textures are textures with motion. Examples include wavy water, rising steam and fire. We model image sequences of temporal textures using the spatio-temporal autoregressive model (STAR). This model expresses each pixel as a linear combination of surrounding pixels lagged both in space and in time. The model provides a base for both recognition and synthesis. We show how the least squares method can accurately estimate model parameters for large, causal neighborhoods with more than 1000 parameters. Synthesis results show that the model can adequately capture the spatial and temporal characteristics of many temporal textures. A 95% recognition rate is achieved for a 135 element database with 15 texture classes.

Dimethylammonium-dimethylcarbamat (Dimcarb) - ein vorteilhaftes Reagens für die Willgerodt-Kindler-Reaktion (1989)

Dimethylammonium Dimethylcarbamate - A Useful Reagent for the Willgerodt-Kindler Reaction Dimethylammonium dimethylcarbamate (dimcarb), easily accessible from dimethylamine and carbon dioxide, is a useful reagent for the Willgerodt-Kindler synthesis of N,N-dimethylthiocarboxamides. Moreover, dimcarb displays some unusual properties, and generally behaves as a preparatively useful dimethylamine source.
Pml Is Critical for Nd10 Formation and Recruits the Pml-Interacting Protein Daxx to This Nuclear Structure When Modified by Sumo-1 (1999)

Nuclear domain 10 (ND10), also referred to as nuclear bodies, are discrete interchromosomal accumulations of several proteins including promyelocytic leukemia protein (PML) and Sp100. In this study, we investigated the mechanism of ND10 assembly by identifying proteins that are essential for this process using cells lines that lack individual ND10-associated proteins. We identified the adapter protein Daxx and BML, the RecQ helicase missing in Bloom syndrome, as new ND10-associated proteins. PML, but not BLM or Sp100, was found to be responsible for the proper localization of all other ND10-associated proteins since they are dispersed in PML-/- cells. Introducing PML into this cell line by transient expression or fusion with PML-producing cells recruited ND10-associated proteins into de novo formed ND10 attesting to PMLs essential nature in ND10 formation. In the absence of PML, Daxx is highly enriched in condensed chromatin. Its recruitment to ND10 from condensed chromatin requires a small ubiquitin-related modifier (SUMO-1) modification of PML and reflects the interaction between the COOH-terminal domain of Daxx and PML. The segregation of Daxx from condensed chromatin in the absence of PML to ND10 by increased accumulation of SUMO-1-modified PML suggests the presence of a variable equilibrium between these two nuclear sites. Our findings identify the basic requirements for ND10 formation and suggest a dynamic mechanism for protein recruitment to these nuclear domains controlled by the SUMO-1 modification state of PML.
A detailed characterization of polyglycolide prepared by solid-state polycondensation reaction (1999)

Polyglycolide (polyglycolic acid, PGA) was prepared by thermally induced solid-state polycondensation from sodium chloroacetate. This reaction leads to a composite of PGA with NaCl, out of which the latter can be extracted by washing with water. A highly porous polymer remains. The course of the reaction was followed by differential scanning calorimetry (crystallinity), X-ray diffraction, NMR spectroscopy and viscosimetry (degree of polymerization), and the polymer was also analyzed by mass spectrometry and mercury porosimetry. The polymer chains grow during the reaction, but prolonged heating leads to a subsequent decrease in chain length due to thermal degradation. The formed NaCl crystals are increasing in size during the reaction. PGA from solid-state reaction is identical with PGA conventionally prepared by ring-opening polymerization, but the molecular weight is smaller (ca. 2 000). No oligomers (like diglycolide) were detected.

IFN-β suppresses experimental autoimmune neuritis in Lewis rats by inhibiting the migration of inflammatory cells into peripheral nervous tissue (1999)

The putative prophylactic and therapeutic effect of interferon-beta (IFN-beta) on autoimmune inflammation of the peripheral nervous system was evaluated in experimental autoimmune neuritis (EAN), a well-known animal model of the human Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS). We report that treatment of rats with 300,000 U of recombinant rat IFN-beta (rrIFN-beta) given every other day starting at the day of immunization prevented clinical signs of EAN. When treatment was started at the onset of disease development, the cytokine clearly ameliorated EAN. Both B- and T-cell responses towards peripheral myelin were suppressed by the IFN-beta, and immunohistochemical analyses revealed a strong decrease in the numbers of infiltrating CD4(+) T cells, macrophages, and other inflammatory cells as well as a significant reduction in MHC class II antigen expression and monocyte chemotactic protein-1 (MCP-1) production, which induces chemotaxis and chemokinesis of leukocytes from blood. It is concluded that the observed suppression of EAN by rrIFN-beta is associated with a decrease in the migration of inflammatory cells into peripheral nervous tissue.
An efficient algorithm for the generation of multiple-mode input shaping sequences (2002)

A new approach for designing input shapers for flexible systems with multiple modes is presented. The method is numerically efficient and can be easily executed by users with little background on input shaping techniques. The new technique is compared to previously reported techniques.
The 70-kDa peroxisomal membrane protein is a member of the Mdr (P-glycoprotein)-related ATP-binding protein superfamily. (1990)

The 70-kDa peroxisomal membrane protein (PMP70) is one of the major integral membrane proteins of rat liver peroxisomes. cDNA clones for PMP70 were isolated and sequenced. The predicted amino acid sequence (659 amino acid residues) revealed that the carboxyl-terminal region of PMP70 has strong sequence similarities to a group of ATP-binding proteins such as MalK and Mdr. These proteins form a superfamily and are involved in various biological processes including membrane transport. Limited protease treatment of peroxisomes showed that the ATP-binding domain of PMP70 is exposed to the cytosol. The hydropathy profile, in comparison with those of several other members of the ATP-binding protein superfamily, suggests that PMP70 is a transmembrane protein possibly forming a channel. Based on these results, we propose that PMP70 is involved in active transport across the peroxisomal membrane.
Kernel Identification of Non-Linear Systems with General Structure (2020)

In the paper we deal with the problem of non-linear dynamic system identification in the presence of random noise. The class of considered systems is relatively general, in the sense that it is not limited to block-oriented structures such as Hammerstein or Wiener models. It is shown that the proposed algorithm can be generalized for two-stage strategy. In step 1 (non-parametric) the system is approximated by multi-dimensional regression functions for a given set of excitations, treated as representative set of points in multi-dimensional space. ‘Curse of dimensionality problem’ is solved by using specific (quantized or periodic) input sequences. Next, in step 2, non-parametric estimates can be plugged into least squares criterion and support model selection and estimation of system parameters. The proposed strategy allows decomposition of the identification problem, which can be of crucial meaning from the numerical point of view. The “estimation points” in step 1 are selected to ensure good task conditioning in step 2. Moreover, non-parametric procedure plays the role of data compression. We discuss the problem of selection of the scale of non-parametric model, and analyze asymptotic properties of the method. Also, the results of simple simulation are presented, to illustrate functioning of the method. Finally, the proposed method is successfully applied in Differential Scanning Calorimeter (DSC) to analyze aging processes in chalcogenide glasses.
TGF-β3: A promising growth factor in engineered organogenesis (2008)

TGF-beta3 has proven to be a competent growth factor in engineered organogenesis in vitro. In recent years, using TGF-beta3, more and more in vivo studies have yielded significant therapeutic achievements in animal models, which bear much promise for future medical application.
Molecular Detection of Circulating β-Cells After Islet Transplantation (2002)

Islet transplantation is a promising treatment for type 1 diabetes. However, islet grafts are submitted to multiple injuries, including immunosuppressive drug toxicity, hyperglycemia, hypoxia, unspecific inflammatory reactions, as well as allo- and autoimmune destruction. Therapeutic approaches to these damage mechanisms require early detection of islet injury, which is currently not feasible because of the lack of efficient markers. Based on the hypothesis of islet dissociation and release of islet cells into the circulation during islet injury, we designed a highly sensitive and specific molecular assay, able to detect two beta-cells per milliliter of venous blood by RT-PCR of insulin mRNA. We report that circulating beta-cells can be demonstrated up to 10 weeks after intraportal islet transplantation, as assessed after six islet grafts in four type 1 diabetic patients. Furthermore, our results suggest that the time during which circulating islet cells can be detected may depend on the graft environment and the immunosuppressive regimen. This test may allow better estimation of islet cell loss and identification of factors involved in islet graft injury.
Fast bilateral-space stereo for synthetic defocus (2015)

Given a stereo pair it is possible to recover a depth map and use that depth to render a synthetically defocused image. Though stereo algorithms are well-studied, rarely are those algorithms considered solely in the context of producing these defocused renderings. In this paper we present a technique for efficiently producing disparity maps using a novel optimization framework in which inference is performed in “bilateral-space”. Our approach produces higher-quality “defocus” results than other stereo algorithms while also being 10 - 100× faster than comparable techniques.

Regulation of cytoplasmic dihydrotestosterone binding in dog prostate by 17 beta-estradiol. (1979)

17 beta-estradiol enchances androgen-induced prostate growth in the castrate dog to a degree comparable to that seen in spontaneous prostatic hypertrophy. To investigate the mechanism of this synergism, cytosol androgen binding was measured by a density gradient technique in prostates of control and 17 beta-estradiol-treated castrate dogs. [3H]Dihydrotestosterone was bound principally to a moiety that averaged 8.6S in size. Approximately twofold enhancement of this binding by 17 beta-estradiol was demonstrable after 1 wk of treatment with 750 microgram/wk and after 3 wk with 75 microgram/wk. Under conditions in which binding in the 8S region was demonstrable with dihydrotestosterone and testosterone no binding of 3 alpha-androstanediol or progesterone was detectable. Thus, enhancement by 17 beta-estradiol of a prostate cytosol androgen-binding protein occurs under circumstances in which 17 beta-estradiol enhances androgen-mediated prostatic growth.
An automobile with artificial intelligence (1979)

Although EEP is considered challenging, it shows a steep learning curve with a plateau after 30-50 cases. Proper criteria are critical for accurate assessment of the learning curve. The Trifecta and Pentafecta criteria are currently the most appropriate method to evaluate EEP learning.
Biological activities of peptides and peptide analogues derived from common sequences present in thrombospondin, properdin, and malarial proteins. (1992)

Thrombospondin (TSP), a major platelet-secreted protein, has recently been shown to have activity in tumor cell metastasis, cell adhesion, and platelet aggregation. The type 1 repeats of TSP contain two copies of CSVTCG and one copy of CSTSCG, per each of the three polypeptide chains of TSP and show homology with peptide sequences found in a number of other proteins including properdin, malarial circumsporozoite, and a blood-stage antigen of Plasmodium falciparum. To investigate whether these common sequences functioned as a cell adhesive domain in TSP, we assessed the effect of peptides corresponding to these sequences and an antibody raised against one of these sequences, CSTSCG, in three biological assays which depend, in part, on the cell adhesive activity of TSP. These assays were TSP-dependent cell adhesion, platelet aggregation, and tumor cell metastasis. We found that a number of peptides homologous to CSVTCG promoted the adhesion of a variety of cells including mouse B16-F10 melanoma cells, inhibited platelet aggregation and tumor cell metastasis, whereas control peptides had no effect. Anti-CSTSCG, which specifically recognized TSP, inhibited TSP-dependent cell adhesion, platelet aggregation, and tumor cell metastasis, whereas control IgG had no effect. These results suggest that CSVTCG and CSTSCG present in the type I repeats function in the adhesive interactions of TSP that mediate cell adhesion, platelet aggregation, and tumor cell metastasis. Peptides, based on the structure of these repeats, may find wide application in the treatment of thrombosis and in the prevention of cancer spread.
A low complexity audio coding scheme for wideband audio (2002)

Differential encoding is a well known low complexity coding technique. Its use in the coding of wideband audio is limited by its inability to follow rapid changes in the signal. This is a serious drawback when coding high fidelity audio where this inability can seriously degrade the perceptual quality of the reconstruction. This overload problem can be remedied by using a recursively indexed quantizer. In this paper we present some empirical results for the differential coding of audio signals.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">&gt;</ETX>
Neural stem and progenitor cells in nestin‐GFP transgenic mice (2004)

Neural stem cells generate a wide spectrum of cell types in developing and adult nervous systems. These cells are marked by expression of the intermediate filament nestin. We used the regulatory elements of the nestin gene to generate transgenic mice in which neural stem cells of the embryonic and adult brain are marked by the expression of green fluorescent protein (GFP). We used these animals as a reporter line for studying neural stem and progenitor cells in the developing and adult nervous systems. In these nestin-GFP animals, we found that GFP-positive cells reflect the distribution of nestin-positive cells and accurately mark the neurogenic areas of the adult brain. Nestin-GFP cells can be isolated with high purity by using fluorescent-activated cell sorting and can generate multipotential neurospheres. In the adult brain, nestin-GFP cells are approximately 1,400-fold more efficient in generating neurospheres than are GFP-negative cells and, despite their small number, give rise to 70 times more neurospheres than does the GFP-negative population. We characterized the expression of a panel of differentiation markers in GFP-positive cells in the nestin-GFP transgenics and found that these cells can be divided into two groups based on the strength of their GFP signal: GFP-bright cells express glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) but not betaIII-tubulin, whereas GFP-dim cells express betaIII-tubulin but not GFAP. These two classes of cells represent distinct classes of neuronal precursors in the adult mammalian brain, and may reflect different stages of neuronal differentiation. We also found unusual features of nestin-GFP-positive cells in the subgranular cell layer of the dentate gyrus. Together, our results indicate that GFP-positive cells in our transgenic animals accurately represent neural stem and progenitor cells and suggest that these nestin-GFP-expressing cells encompass the majority of the neural stem cells in the adult brain.

A Convenient Synthesis of 2,2-Dimethylchromenes from 2,2-Dimethylchromanones (1981)

2.2-Dimethylchromanones were very easlly reduced to the corresponding alcohols by sodlun borohydride-palladium chloride, and the alcohols were converted into the corresponding 2.2-dimcthylchromenes by dehydration w ~t h potasslum hydrogensulfate in high yields based on 2.2-dimethylchromanones.
Modeling of the XOM/XMP application programming interface (API) (1996)

With the growing complexity of communication protocols, it is increasingly difficult for application developers to interface the applications to the communication stacks across a number of platforms. A common application program interface (API) is needed for the purpose. The API can effectively conceal the complexities of communication protocols and architecture, making it easier for application development. This article presents the modeling and development of a generic API, XOM and an application-specific API, XMP. XOM API provides a general-purpose data handling mechanism and XMP API provides service primitives to network management protocols. The development is based on object-oriented technology. The attractiveness of object-oriented implementation is its ability to provide encapsulation, reusability and extensibility in the software modules. The benefits and difficulties encountered during the implementation are to be discussed. The experience will be useful for API development.
Functional programming of behavior-based systems (2003)

The paper describes a simple functional programming language, GRL, in which most of the characteristic features of the popular behavior-based robot architectures can be concisely written as reusable software abstractions. This makes it easier to write a clear modular code, to "mix and match" arbitration mechanisms, and to experiment with variations on existing mechanisms. The author describes the compilation process for the language, his experiences with it, and issues of efficiency expressiveness, and code size relative to other languages.
Antenna mutual coupling effects on correlation, efficiency and Shannon capacity (2006)

MIMO (multiple-input-multiple-output) systems make use of multiple antennas at both ends of a communication link to exploit the spatial dimension for increasing the capacity. Correlation of the antenna signals has an affect on the capacity of a MIMO implementation. High correlation levels occur mainly for compact antenna realizations, where the separation of the antenna elements is small and the mutual coupling is strong. The antenna mutual coupling distorts the antenna radiation patterns and the input impedances, and therefore affects the correlation level and the efficiency. The correlation level is decreased by coupling, which would improve the Shannon capacity, but the effiency of the antenna system is also decreased, which leaves the Shannon capacity nearly unchanged as compared to the case when neglecting coupling effects. The Shannon capacity is increased in a interference limited receiving situation and can also be increased in a transmitting situation in a narrow frequency band by using a decoupling network.
