Jumping-Droplet-Enhanced Condensation on Scalable Superhydrophobic Nanostructured Surfaces (2012)

When droplets coalesce on a superhydrophobic nanostructured surface, the resulting droplet can jump from the surface due to the release of excess surface energy. If designed properly, these superhydrophobic nanostructured surfaces can not only allow for easy droplet removal at micrometric length scales during condensation but also promise to enhance heat transfer performance. However, the rationale for the design of an ideal nanostructured surface as well as heat transfer experiments demonstrating the advantage of this jumping behavior are lacking. Here, we show that silanized copper oxide surfaces created via a simple fabrication method can achieve highly efficient jumping-droplet condensation heat transfer. We experimentally demonstrated a 25% higher overall heat flux and 30% higher condensation heat transfer coefficient compared to state-of-the-art hydrophobic condensing surfaces at low supersaturations (<1.12). This work not only shows significant condensation heat transfer enhancement but also promises a low cost and scalable approach to increase efficiency for applications such as atmospheric water harvesting and dehumidification. Furthermore, the results offer insights and an avenue to achieve high flux superhydrophobic condensation.

Wood-plastic composites using thermomechanical pulp made from oxalic acid-pretreated red pine chips (2008)

The characteristics and properties of wood fiber is one of many factors of critical importance to the performance of wood-plastic composites. In commercial thermo-mechanical pulping (TMP) of wood chips to produce fibers, high temperatures (>100°C) are used to separate the fibers during TMP refining. These mechanical pressures and temperatures are usually modulated to achieve the desired fiber characteristics and properties. However, relatively high total electric energy is required to produce these TMP pulps. Recently, an oxalic-acid pretreatment of wood chips prior to TMP refining has been developed. Previous, experiments have found that the energy required in refining after such pretreatment can be dramatically reduced. In addition, other work with medium-density fiberboard made using TMP fiber from oxalic acid-pretreated chips was shown to have enhanced moisture resistance when compared to fiberboard made with non-treated fiber. In the experiments reported in this paper, wood chips were first pre-treated using either oxalic acid- or dialkyl ester oxalic acidderivatives, then refined into fiber using traditional TMP refining processes. These variously treated fiber groupings were then compounded with high-density polyethylene and injected molded into flexural test specimens (ASTM D790). Wood-plastic composites made using fibers from these oxalic acid- and diethyloxalate-pretreatments were shown to produce wood-plastic composites with similar mechanical performance to that of composites made using untreated control fibers. With further work, oxalic acid- and diethyloxalate-pretreatments may result in a modified wood fiber that has potential to enhance physical properties such as dimensional stability, has virtually no effect on mechanical performance, but greatly diminishes the energy required to refine pine chips into fiber.
Human Thymic Stromal Lymphopoietin Preferentially Stimulates Myeloid Cells (2001)

The sequence of a novel hemopoietic cytokine was discovered in a computational screen of genomic databases, and its homology to mouse thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP) suggests that it is the human orthologue. Human TSLP is proposed to signal through a heterodimeric receptor complex that consists of a new member of the hemopoietin family termed human TSLP receptor and the IL-7R alpha-chain. Cells transfected with both receptor subunits proliferated in response to purified, recombinant human TSLP, with induced phosphorylation of Stat3 and Stat5. Human TSLPR and IL-7Ralpha are principally coexpressed on monocytes and dendritic cell populations and to a much lesser extent on various lymphoid cells. In accord, we find that human TSLP functions mainly on myeloid cells; it induces the release of T cell-attracting chemokines from monocytes and, in particular, enhances the maturation of CD11c(+) dendritic cells, as evidenced by the strong induction of the costimulatory molecules CD40 and CD80 and the enhanced capacity to elicit proliferation of naive T cells.
Constructive Algorithms for Discrepancy Minimization (2010)

Given a set system (V, S), V = {1,..., n} and S = {S <sub xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">1</sub> ,...,S <sub xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">m</sub> }, the minimum discrepancy problem is to find a 2-coloring X : V → {-1,+1}, such that each set is colored as evenly as possible, i.e. find X to minimize max <sub xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">j∈|m]</sub> Σ <sub xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">i∈sj</sub> X(i)|· In this paper we give the first polynomial time algorithms for discrepancy minimization that achieve bounds similar to those known existentially using the so-called Entropy Method. We also give a first approximation-like result for discrepancy. Specifically we give efficient randomized algorithms to: 1) Construct an O(n <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">1/2</sup> ) discrepancy coloring for general sets systems when m = O(n), matching the celebrated result of Spencer [17] up to O(1) factors. More generally, for m ≥ n, we obtain a discrepancy of O(n <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">1/2</sup> log(2m/n)). 2) Construct a coloring with discrepancy O(t <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">1/2</sup> log n), if each element lies in at most t sets. This matches the (nonconstructive) result of Srinivasan [19]. 3) Construct a coloring with discrepancy O(λlog(ram)), where λ is the hereditary discrepancy of the set system. The main idea in our algorithms is to produce a coloring over time by letting the color of the elements perform a random walk (with tiny increments) starting from 0 until they reach ±1. At each step the random hops for various elements are correlated by a solution to a semidefinite program, where this program is determined by the current state and the entropy method.
So What's New in the Field of Plant Cold Acclimation? Lots! (2001)

Due to its intrinsically interesting nature and importance to agriculture, considerable effort has been directed at understanding the phenomenon of “cold acclimation,” the process whereby certain plants increase in freezing tolerance upon exposure to low temperature. By 1980, thousands of
Ex-vivo expanded human NK cells express activating receptors that mediate cytotoxicity of allogeneic and autologous cancer cell lines by direct recognition and antibody directed cellular cytotoxicity (2010)

These data demonstrate that large numbers of cytolytic NK cells can be generated from PBMC and lymphocyte-enriched fractions obtained by GMP compliant counter current elutriation from PBMC, establishing the preclinical evidence necessary to support clinical trials utilizing autologous expanded NK cells, both directly and in combination with monoclonal antibodies in future cell-based immunotherapy in select solid tumors.
Detection of COL1 A1-PDGFB Fusion Transcripts in Dermatofibrosarcoma Protuberans by Reverse Transcription-Polymerase Chain Reaction Using Archival Formalin-Fixed, Paraffin-Embedded Tissues (1999)

The reciprocal translocation t(17;22)(q22;q13) and a supernumerary ring chromosome, r(17;22), derived from the translocation, have been shown to be highly characteristic of dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans (DFSP). Its consequence is a fusion of two genes, a collagen type I alpha 1 gene (COL1A1) and platelet-derived growth factor B-chain gene (PDGFB). The COL1A1-PDGFB fusion gene, is expected to be a diagnostic molecular assay. However, previous studies on this subject were mostly based on frozen tissue specimens or cultured tumor cells. In this present study, the investigators conducted a reverse transcription (RT)-polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay to detect the COL1A1-PDGFB fusion transcripts using archival formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tumor specimens from 12 patients with DFSP. To amplify the fusion transcripts, a specific COL1A1 forward and PDGFB reverse primers were designed for single step PCR. The COL1A1-PDGFB fusion transcripts could be detected in 10 of 12 paraffin-embedded DFSP tumor specimens (83%). Subsequent sequence analysis using the PCR products confirmed that the detected messages were derived from gene fusions composed of PDGFB exon 2 and different regions of the COL1A1 gene (exon 8, 10, 22, 24, 32, 38, 45 or 46). Two samples of Bednar tumor included in this series also contained the fusion transcripts. In sample of DFSP with fibrosarcomatous transformation, the COL1A1-PDGFB could not be detected in the fibrosarcoma areas of the third recurrence, though the chimeric transcripts were identified in the ordinary DFSP areas of the first recurrence. No fusion transcripts could be amplified in non-DFSP lesions, including 10 dermatofibromas and 9 malignant fibrous histiocytomas. These results indicate that this molecular assay could be applied to archival formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tumor tissues as a diagnostic aid for DFSP.
Synthesis, physicochemical characterization, and self‐assembly of linear, dibranched, and miktoarm semifluorinated triphilic polymers (2014)

Linear, dibranched and miktoarm amphiphiles containing both hydrophobic and fluorophilic moieties were synthesized and characterized in an attempt to elucidate the relationship between semi-fluorinated amphiphile structure and aggregate behaviour in aqueous solution. For the linear and dibranched amphiphiles, there was an exponential decrease in critical aggregation concentration (CMC) and a logarithmic increase in core microviscosity with increasing length of the fluorocarbon segments; while the miktoarm architecture produced no notable trend in microviscosity or CMC. Furthermore, the linear and dibranched surfactants showed enhanced kinetic stability, dissociating more slowly in the presence of human serum than did either the dibranched or miktoarm amphiphiles. Finally, encapsulation studies with the hydrophobic drug paclitaxel (PTX) showed that the ability to solubilize and retain PTX increased with the presence and with the increasing size of the fluorocarbon moiety for both the linear and dibranched amphiphiles, while no such trend was observed for the miktoarm amphiphiles.

Neonatal septicemia due to group B streptococci — Perinatal risk factors and outcome of subsequent pregnancies (1988)

All cases of early onset group B streptococcal (GBS) septicemia in infants born at Karolinska Hospital 1975-1986 were reviewed. GBS-septicemia was diagnosed in 40 infants within the first five days of life. The incidence was 1.24 per 1000 births. Fifty-five percent of the infants were preterm and 48% were born more than or equal to 12 hours after rupture of membranes. Prematurity and/or prolonged rupture of membranes were present in 83% of all neonates with fatal outcome. Case fatality was 22%. Deliveries by both cesarean section (31%) and vacuum extraction (26%) were increased in the mothers when compared to an overall incidence of 14 and 12% (p less than 0.01). Twenty-four (89%) of 27 mothers had low type specific IgG antibodies against the infecting GBS-serotype. Late onset GBS-septicemia was diagnosed in only two infants during the period. Seventeen mothers went through 24 subsequent pregnancies. In 11 of those the mothers were colonized with GBS and 10 received penicillin prophylaxis during pregnancy and/or delivery. None of the infants born after prophylaxis were colonized with GBS. Two were born prematurely and all had an uneventful course; whereas one infant delivered at 26 weeks gestation of a colonized untreated mother died of GBS-septicemia. Screening of parturients at risk and selective antibiotic prophylaxis may help to prevent early onset GBS-septicemia.
Basic fibroblast growth factor infused at different times during bone graft incorporation Titanium chamber study in rats (1996)

We investigated the effect of applying basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) to a bone graft during different stages of incorporation in an infusion bone chamber model. Bone chambers were implanted bilaterally into rat tibiae. Both chambers were connected to an implanted osmotic minipump. Ingrowing bone could enter the cylindrical interior of the chamber only at one end. The distance which ingrowing bone had reached into the bone graft was then measured on histological slides. Specimens were also analyzed by 99mTc-MDP scintimetry. The infusion of buffer during 2 weeks from implantation had no effects on tissue ingrowth distance or quality. bFGF was infused during 2 weeks from implantation in a dose of either 1.2 or 12 ng/day. Bone ingrowth was measured 6 weeks after implantation. The higher dose had a more marked effect and was used for studying the effect of application at different times. The maximum stimulation of bFGF as measured at 6 weeks postimplantation was found after infusion during the first postimplantation week. Infusion during the third and fourth weeks had no effect at 6 weeks, but tended to increase the bone ingrowth distance at 8 weeks postimplantation. These findings suggest that bFGF infusion increases bone ingrowth into bone grafts when infused at both an early and a later stage, but the effect can be measured only several weeks later.

Mycosporine-Like Amino Acids and Related Gadusols: Biosynthesis, Accumulation, and UV-Protective Functions in Aquatic Organisms (2002)

Organisms living in clear, shallow water are exposed to the damaging wavelengths of solar ultraviolet radiation (UVR) coincident with the longer wavelengths of photosynthetically available radiation (PAR) also necessary for vision. With the general exception of bacteria, taxonomically diverse marine and freshwater organisms have evolved the capacity to synthesize or accumulate UV-absorbing mycosporine-like amino acids (MAAs), presumably for protection against environmental UVR. This review highlights the evidence for this UV-protective role while also considering other attributed functions, including reproductive and osmotic regulation and vision. Probing the regulation and biosynthesis of MAAs provides insight to the physiological evolution and utility of UV protection and of biochemically associated antioxidant defenses.

Effect of changes in ventricular activation on cardiac haemodynamics in man. Comparison of right ventricular, left ventricular, and simultaneous pacing of both ventricles. (1971)

To investigate the influence of changes in activation on left ventricular ejection, the effects of right ventricular, left ventricular, and simultaneous pacing of both ventricles were studied in 6 patients immediately after replacement of the aortic valve with a Starr-Edwards prosthesis. Variation in pacing site caused little or no change in systemic arterial pressure or cardiac output. However, the rate of movement of the ball of the prosthesis at the onset of left ventricular ejection was consis- tently greater during biventricular pacing than during pacing of the right ventricle alone, with intermediate values during left ventricular pacing. This provides evidence for the development of an increasedforce by the left ventricle at the onset of systole during biventricular pacing, resulting from a more synchronous contraction, and shows that such changes may occur in the absence of any alteration in the external work done by the left ventricle.
Inhibition of the electrostatic interaction between β-amyloid peptide and membranes prevents β-amyloid-induced toxicity (1997)

The accumulation of beta-amyloid peptides (Abeta) into senile plaques is one of the hallmarks of Alzheimer disease. Aggregated Abeta is toxic to cells in culture and this has been considered to be the cause of neurodegeneration that occurs in the Alzheimer disease brain. The discovery of compounds that prevent Abeta toxicity may lead to a better understanding of the processes involved and ultimately to possible therapeutic drugs. Low nanomolar concentrations of Abeta1-42 and the toxic fragment Abeta25-35 have been demonstrated to render cells more sensitive to subsequent insults as manifested by an increased sensitivity to formazan crystals following MTT (3-[4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl]-2, 5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide) reduction. Formation of the toxic beta-sheet conformation by Abeta peptides is increased by negatively charged membranes. Here we demonstrate that phloretin and exifone, dipolar compounds that decrease the effective negative charge of membranes, prevent association of Abeta1-40 and Abeta25-35 to negatively charged lipid vesicles and Abeta induced cell toxicity. These results suggest that Abeta toxicity is mediated through a nonspecific physicochemical interaction with cell membranes.
