Power Capability Investigation Based on Electrothermal Models of Press-Pack IGBT Three-Level NPC and ANPC VSCs for Multimegawatt Wind Turbines (2012)

Wind turbine power capability is an essential set of data for both wind turbine manufacturers/operators and transmission system operators since the power capability determines whether a wind turbine is able to fulfill transmission system reactive power requirements and how much it is able to provide reactive power support as an ancillary service. For multimegawatt full-scale wind turbines, power capability depends on converter topology and semiconductor switch technology. As power capability limiting factors, switch current, semiconductor junction temperature, and converter output voltage are addressed in this study for the three-level neutral-point-clamped voltage source converter (3L-NPC-VSC) and 3L Active NPC VSC (3L-ANPC-VSC) with press-pack insulated gate bipolar transistors employed as a grid-side converter. In order to investigate these VSCs' power capabilities under various operating conditions with respect to these limiting factors, a power capability generation algorithm based on the converter electrothermal model is developed. Built considering the VSCs' operation principles and physical structure, the model is validated by a 2 MV·A single-phase 3L-ANPC-VSC test setup. The power capability investigations regarding a sample grid code's reactive power requirement show that 3L-ANPC-VSC results in 32% better power capability than 3L-NPC-VSC at the switching frequency of 1050 Hz. Furthermore, 3L-ANPC-VSC with 57% higher switching frequency (1650 Hz) and 33% smaller switching ripple filter can yield close power capability compared to 3L-NPC-VSC with 1050 Hz.
Expression of the angiogenic factors vascular endothelial cell growth factor, acidic and basic fibroblast growth factor, tumor growth factor beta-1, platelet-derived endothelial cell growth factor, placenta growth factor, and pleiotrophin in human primary breast cancer and its relation to angiogenesis. (1997)

Angiogenesis is a significant prognostic factor in breast cancer, but the factors that control angiogenesis in vivo are not well defined. Multiple angiogenic polypeptides are known, and we have determined the expression of seven of these in primary human breast cancers; the relationship of expression to estrogen receptor and vascular density was also examined. Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and its four isoforms (121, 165, 189, and 206 amino acids), transforming growth factor (TGF)-beta1, pleiotrophin, acidic and basic fibroblast growth factor (FGF), placental growth factor, and thymidine phosphorylase (platelet-derived endothelial cell growth factor) were quantitated by RNase protection analysis. beta-FGF was also measured by ELISA. The estrogen receptor (ER), epidermal growth factor receptor, and vascular density were analyzed in 64 primary breast cancers. All tumors expressed at least six different vascular growth factors. VEGF was most abundant, and the transcript for the 121-amino acid form predominated. Other angiogenic factors expressed at high levels were thymidine phosphorylase and TGF-beta1. Expression of most of the angiogenic factors did not correlate with that of ER or vascular density. However, thymidine phosphorylase did, with a correlation coefficient of 0.3 (P = 0.03). There were significant associations of pleiotrophin with acidic FGF expression (P = 0.001) and TGF-beta with platelet-derived endothelial cell growth factor expression (P = 0.001). Thus, angiogenesis may involve a coordinate regulation of some vascular growth factors. High VEGF expression correlated with poor prognosis in univariate analysis (P = 0.03), as did ER and epidermal growth factor receptor expression. Basic FGF was also assessed by ELISA and was more highly expressed in tumors than normal breast tissues (median, 346 microg/ml cytosol; range, 54-1323 versus median, 149; range, 32-509; P = 0.01). Implications for therapy are that broad spectrum agents that block features common to these factors may be useful (e.g., antagonism of heparin-binding activity agents), because so many angiogenic factors are expressed. Inhibiting endothelial migration or agents directly toxic to endothelium would be of value in a combined approach to therapy.

Characterization of the proliferative response of a CD4-8- thymic T lymphoma cell line to stimulation by thymic cellular elements (1991)

E710.2 is a cloned T cell line that was isolated from an AKR/J thymic tumor. This clone expresses Thy-1, heat-stable Ag, and the CD3/TCR complex but does not express CD4 or CD8. When the E710.2 cell line is injected into syngeneic mice, it grows as a malignant tumor in lymphoid organs and the thymus. In contrast, this cell line does not grow in vitro under standard culture conditions. This latter property allowed us to analyze the in vitro responsiveness of this CD4-CD8- cell line to stimulation by pharmacologic agents and cellular elements from the spleen and thymus. E710.2 cells proliferate when stimulated with phorbol esters or when cocultured with thymocytes or splenocytes. We could not detect soluble stimulatory factors in cultures of E710.2 and/or lymphoid cells, suggesting that cell contact might be required for this response. The stimulatory activity in thymus and spleen appears to be broadly expressed, because all cell subsets that were examined from these tissues stimulate this cell line. The stimulation of E710.2 cells is not MHC-restricted and is not inhibited by anti-MHC mAb. Furthermore, the responsiveness of these cells is not decreased when the TCR/CD3 complex is modulated from the cell surface. Similarly, TCR/CD3-deficient E710.2 variant clones retain their responsiveness to thymic and splenic cell stimulation. These findings suggest that there is a TCR-independent pathway of activation in E710.2 that is stimulated by a broadly expressed, non-MHC-encoded molecules(s).
Bone Marrow Stem Cell Derived Paracrine Factors for Regenerative Medicine: Current Perspectives and Therapeutic Potential (2010)

During the past several years, there has been intense research in the field of bone marrow-derived stem cell (BMSC) therapy to facilitate its translation into clinical setting. Although a lot has been accomplished, plenty of challenges lie ahead. Furthermore, there is a growing body of evidence showing that administration of BMSC-derived conditioned media (BMSC-CM) can recapitulate the beneficial effects observed after stem cell therapy. BMSCs produce a wide range of cytokines and chemokines that have, until now, shown extensive therapeutic potential. These paracrine mechanisms could be as diverse as stimulating receptor-mediated survival pathways, inducing stem cell homing and differentiation or regulating the anti-inflammatory effects in wounded areas. The current review reflects the rapid shift of interest from BMSC to BMSC-CM to alleviate many logistical and technical issues regarding cell therapy and evaluates its future potential as an effective regenerative therapy.
Compartmentation of free amino acids for protein synthesis in rat liver (1974)

The concept that a general intracellular pool serves as the sole precursor of amino acids for protein biosynthesis has been vigorously debated in recent years. To help resolve this controversy, we followed the distribution of intraperitoneally administered [(3)H]valine in the tRNA and the extracellular and intracellular compartments of rat liver. The specific radioactivity of the valine released from isolated tRNA was 2-3 times higher than that of intracellular valine, suggesting that the intracellular pool cannot be the sole precursor of amino acids used for charging tRNA. In addition, the specific radioactivity of the tRNA was only half that of the extracellular valine. Therefore it is unlikely that the valyl-tRNA is charged exclusively with amino acids derived from the extracellular pool. A model is proposed which stipulates that both extracellular and intracellular amino acids contribute to a restricted compartment that funnels amino acids towards protein biosynthesis.
Stimuli-Responsive Bicomponent Polymer Janus Particles by “Grafting from”/“Grafting to” Approaches (2008)

We report preparation of stimuli-responsive bicomponent polymeric Janus particles and investigation of their switching behavior. The first polymer was immobilized on one side of silica particles using the surface-initiated atom transfer radical polymerization, “grafting from” approach. The second polymer was immobilized using the “grafting to” method by reaction between reactive terminating groups of polymer chains and functional groups on the particle surface. On the example of mixed oppositely charged polyelectrolyte Janus particles decorated with poly(acrylic acid) and poly(2-vinylpyridine) chains, we demonstrate stimuli-responsive aggregation/disaggregation behavior upon pH changes.
Phagemid Encoded Small Molecules for High Throughput Screening of Chemical Libraries (2004)

A new strategy for monovalently displaying small molecules on phage surfaces was developed and applied to high throughput screening for molecules with high binding affinity to the target protein. Peptidyl carrier protein (PCP) excised from nonribosomal peptide synthetase was monovalently displayed on the surface of M13 phage as pIII fusion proteins. Small molecules of diverse structures were conjugated to coenzyme A (CoA) and then covalently attached to the phage displayed PCP by Sfp phosphopantetheinyl transferase. Because Sfp is broadly promiscuous for the transfer of small molecule linked phosphopantetheinyl moieties to apo PCP domains, this approach will enable displaying libraries of small molecules on phage surfaces. Unique 20-base-pair (bp) DNA sequences were also incorporated into the phagemid DNA so that each compound displayed on the phage surface was encoded by a DNA bar code encapsulated inside the phage coat protein. Single round selection of phage displayed small molecules achieved more than 2000-fold enrichment of small molecules with nM binding affinity to the target protein. The selection process is further accelerated by the use of DNA decoding arrays for identifying the selected small molecules.
Carcino-embryonic antigen may function as a chemo-attractant in colorectal-carcinoma cell lines (1999)

Locomotion of colorectal-carcinoma cells was tested in order to establish whether it might be affected by carcino-embryonic antigen (CEA). CEA production, cell growth and DNA ploidy were measured in 22 colorectal-carcinoma cell lines. A cell-invasion assay was adapted using a transfilter chamber, the lower surface of which was coated with various substrates in the amount of 5 microgram/filter (CEA, type-IV collagen, laminin). Cells infiltrated into the lower surface of the filter were counted over 9-microscope fields (x400). All cell lines produced CEA, 9 producing more than 100 ng/ml medium. Of the total, 8 cell lines were diploid and 14 were aneuploid. Invasiveness, measured by the number of infiltrated cells, was highest in CEA-coated filters, and next highest in type-IV-collagen- and laminin-coated filters, in descending order (p < 0.001-0.05). Invasiveness of each cell line was closely correlated with 2 substrates. Poorly differentiated or advanced-stage tumors were more invasive than well-differentiated or early-stage tumors (p < 0.001-0. 05). However, invasiveness was not associated with DNA ploidy or CEA production. CEA may function as a chemo-attractant as well as an adhesion molecule in colorectal-carcinoma cell lines. In addition, adhesion to CEA appears to be related to type-IV collagen and laminin.
Flatfielding in spatial heterodyne spectroscopy (2006)

Spatial heterodyne spectroscopy (SHS) is a Fourier-transform spectroscopic technique that simultaneously records all path differences using a detector array. Compared to conventional Fourier-transform spectroscopy that measures interferogram samples sequentially in the time domain, SHS is insensitive to a changing scene; however, the effects caused by differences in the detector elements and/or the optics for each sample must be addressed with a flatfield correction. The flatfield correction is typically a characteristic of the instrument and does not change with the observed scene. We present three different flatfielding approaches. Each is based on different assumptions and is applicable depending on the instrumental effects dominating the flatfield.
Direct Measurement of the Transport Properties of a Single DNA Molecule (1995)

A fluorescently labeled DNA molecule is end tethered to a small magnetic bead and pulled by a calibrated magnetic force through a solution of unlabeled DNA molecules to monitor the transport coefficients of the chain. From the force velocity diagram $F\ensuremath{-}V$, we report the first direct measurement of the friction coefficient $\ensuremath{\zeta}\phantom{\rule{0ex}{0ex}}=\phantom{\rule{0ex}{0ex}}F/V$ of a single DNA molecule. $\ensuremath{\zeta}$ is found to be highly velocity dependent due to sharp conformational transitions for increasing velocities in agreement with a recent model by Ajdari et al. [Physica (Amsterdam) 204A, 17 (1994)].
Association of Ash/Grb-2 with dynamin through the Src homology 3 domain. (1994)

Ash/Grb-2 is an adaptor protein composed only of Src homology (SH) 2 and SH3 domains that is considered to be essential for Ras activation. To clarify the downstream of Ash signaling, we investigated Ash-bound proteins. Ash-glutathione S-transferase (GST) fusion proteins were used to affinity-purify proteins bound to Ash. We found 180-, 150-, 100-, and 70-kDa proteins bound to GST-Ash, among which the 100 kDa protein was found to be dynamin by amino acid sequencing and Western blot with anti-dynamin antibody. Next, the in vitro and in vivo associations between Ash and dynamin were examined using PC12 cells. Dynamin in PC12 cell lysates bound to GST-Ash independent of NGF treatment. Also, Ash and dynamin co-precipitated when cell lysates of PC12 were immunoprecipitated with anti-Ash antibody or anti-dynamin antibody. Using various GST-Ash constructs, we studied the importance of the individual domains in binding and found that the SH3 domain is necessary for binding. This binding was inhibited by a synthetic peptide (GPPQVPSRPNRC, amino acids 827-838 in dynamin). These data show that Ash SH3 domains bind to the proline-rich region of dynamin. Considering the function of dynamin in membrane trafficking, Ash may regulate endocytosis in addition to Ras activation.
Annexin 1 Cleavage in Activated Neutrophils (2007)

Annexin 1 is an anti-inflammatory protein that plays a key role in innate immunity by modulating the activation of several types of cells, including neutrophils. Here we have developed a cleavage assay using tagged annexin 1 and observed marked activity in the membrane fraction of activated neutrophils. A combination of inhibitors, transfected cells, and proteomic analyses allowed us to identify proteinase 3 as the main enzyme responsible for this cleavage in the N terminus region of the protein, at least in the context of neutrophil activation. Because annexin 1 is an important endogenous anti-inflammatory mediator, blocking its cleavage by proteinase 3 would augment its homeostatic pro-resolving actions and could represent an opportunity for innovative anti-inflammatory drug discovery.
An account of 335 cases of megaloblastic anaemia of pregnancy and the puerperium (1966)

The incidence of megaloblastic anaemia in pregnancy and the puerperium in north Staffordshire has steadily declined as a result of prophylaxis with folic acid. In the presence of advanced folic acid deficiency and with a florid megaloblastic marrow, the anaemia is usually severe, but in many patients the disease is relatively mild and the degree of anaemia is determined more by blood loss or associated iron deficiency than by the megaloblastosis. Microscopic examination of marrow films is still the most reliable method of diagnosis, although estimation of the labile serum folate has produced a 95% correlation with the marrow findings. There are three main factors which operate in the pathogenesis of megaloblastic anaemia in pregnancy and the puerperium. First, the maternal stores of folic acid are used up by the growing foetus, and this process is accelerated in multiple pregnancies, after haemorrhage, or in women with haemolytic anaemia. Secondly, an insufficient intake of folic acid, due to poor diet in pregnancy, plays a part in many cases. The third, and possibly the most important, factor is an absorption defect. Folic acid absorption is usually impaired in established cases, and this can still be demonstrated years later in a majority of patients, when they are neither pregnant nor anaemic. More than 20% of all cases also show abnormal fat absorption. An inherited defect in folic acid absorption may also explain why certain women appear to be constitutionally predisposed to megaloblastic anaemia of pregnancy and the puerperium, as shown by the abnormal blood group distribution in these patients and by the tendency of megaloblastic anaemia to recur not only in subsequent pregnancies, but, as in six of our cases, following other kinds of stress. The significance of commonly associated conditions like pre-eclampsia and infection is still incompletely understood. Although the treatment of megaloblastic anaemia is simple and effective, the main emphasis should be placed on prophylaxis by administering folic acid to all pregnant women.

The Inhibitory Effect of Anti‐Adhesion Molecule Antibodies on Eosinophil Infiltration in Cutaneous Late Phase Response in Balb/c Mice Sensitized with Ovalbumin (OVA) (1997)

In this study, we investigated the involvement of the adhesion molecules intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1), vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1), very late activation antigen-4 (VLA-4), lymphocyte function-associated antigen 1 (LFA-1) and macrophage antigen-1 (Mac-1) on eosinophil infiltration in the cutaneous late phase response (LPR) in OVA-sensitized Balb/c mice by two approaches, immunostaining and inhibition assays with each monoclonal antibody. The eosinophil infiltration into the skin reached a peak at 12 hr after an intradermal challenge with OVA. Infiltrated eosinophils and mononuclear cells in the skin expressed Mac-1 (eosinophils: 38.9 +/- 1.55%, mononuclear cells: 51.2 +/- 2.15%), LFA-1 (eosinophils: 33.3 +/- 0.95%, mononuclear cells: 23.1 +/- 1.07%) and VLA-4 (eosinophils: 14.3 +/- 1.6%, mononuclear cells: 17.2 +/- 1.38%) at 12 h. Intraperitoneal administration of anti-mouse ICAM-1, VCAM-1, and VLA-4 monoclonal antibodies (mAb) before the challenge decreased the eosinophil infiltration by 66.2%, 61.0%, and 54.0%, respectively. On the other hand, pretreatment with anti-mouse LFA-1 mAb or Mac-1 mAb did not significantly decrease the infiltration. These results suggest that VCAM-1/VLA-4 interaction and ICAM-1 play important roles in eosinophil infiltration in cutaneous LPR.
