The Hyaluronic Acid–HDAC3–miRNA Network in Allergic Inflammation (2015)

We previously reported the anti-allergic effect of high molecular weight form of hyaluronic acid (HMW-HA). In doing so, HA targets CD44 and inhibits FcεRI signaling and cross-talk between epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and FcεRI. We previously reported the role of histone deacetylases (HDACs) in allergic inflammation and allergic inflammation-promoted enhanced tumorigenic potential. We reported regulatory role of HA in the expression of HDAC3. In this review, we will discuss molecular mechanisms associated with anti-allergic effect of HA in relation with HDACs. The role of microRNAs (miRNAs) in allergic inflammation has been reported. We will also discuss the role of miRNAs in allergic inflammation in relation with HA-mediated anti-allergic effects.
Thromboembolic events in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (2016)

In a population with high consanguinity, Thromboembolic events (DVT and PE) had a prevalence of 8% among IBD patients, positive family history of pulmonary embolism was a predictor of thrombosis. Further studies are needed to explore the role of genetic factors in this population.
Effect of hydroxypropyl methylcellulose on obesity and glucose metabolism in a diet-induced obesity mouse model (2011)

The data indicate that HPMC not only reduces body weight, but also normalizes the metabolic abnormalities associated with obesity and suggest that the effects of HPMC on glucose and lipid homeostasis in B6 mice are mediated by improvements in leptin sensitivity resulting from reduced fat absorption.
Spin‐lattice relaxation time measurements using hybrid csi–phantom study (1990)

The spin-lattice relaxation time T1 of multicomponent tissues is often determined by fitting relaxation data to monoexponential functions. This process can lead to large errors in the relaxation time. We describe a procedure using chemical-shift imaging (CSI) which separates the NMR signal into water and lipid components thus allowing the two signals to be individually analyzed for relaxation times. This procedure yields more representative relaxation times than those obtained by both monoexponential and biexponential fitting schemes.
The Search for Optimal Sensor Network in Lamb Wave-based SHM Method (2011)

In this paper the investigation of a structural health monitoring method for thinwalled parts of structures is presented. The concept is based on the guided elastic wave propagation phenomena. This type of waves can be used in order to obtain information about structure condition and possibly damaged areas. Measurement of the wave field was realized using laser scanning vibrometer that registered the velocity responses at points belonging to a defined mesh. Determination of the optimal placement of sensors is a very challenging mission. In conducted investigation laser vibrometer was used to facilitate the task. The chosen mesh of measuring points was the basis for the investigation. The purpose was to consider arrays of piezoelectric sensors and find the optimal solution. Instead of using vast amount of piezoelectric sensors the earlier mentioned laser vibrometer was used to gather the necessary data from wave propagation. Sensors networks geometries were picked out from the measured points. Next, the signals gather by this non-contact method for the considered network were input to the damage detection algorithm. The results of damage detection for the selected networks were compared. The signal processing was conducted in MATLAB with the procedures developed by authors. Damage detection algorithm was based on a procedure that seeks in the signals the damage-reflected waves. Knowing the wave velocity in considered material the damage position can be estimated.
Solid-State Lithium-Polymer Batteries Using Lithiated MnO[sub 2] Cathodes (2000)

We have used a lithiated , , with ordered alternating one‐dimensional [1 × 2] and [1 × 1] channels as a cathode material in solid‐state lithium/polymer cells. An optimized cell can operate at moderate temperatures (40–80°C). delivers a rechargeable capacity of 160 mAh/g with a flat potential plateau at ca. 3.0 V vs. at the C/3 rate and 65°C, corresponding to a specific energy of 450 Wh/kg of the pure oxide. Cells show good rate capability and excellent cyclability when cycled between 2.7 and 3.5 V at 80% depth of discharge, whereas a capacity decline was observed when cycled between 2.0 and 3.5 V. Capacity fading upon cycling is believed to be due to the formation of a thin layer of spinel phase (transformation to from ) on the particle surfaces, as well as to increased cell resistance during charge/discharge cycling. The cell self‐discharge at high temperature and the thermal stability of in contact with the polymer electrolyte are also discussed. © 2000 The Electrochemical Society. All rights reserved.
Language Modeling with Power Low Rank Ensembles (2014)

We present power low rank ensembles (PLRE), a flexible framework for n-gram language modeling where ensembles of low rank matrices and tensors are used to obtain smoothed probability estimates of words in context. Our method can be understood as a generalization of ngram modeling to non-integer n, and includes standard techniques such as absolute discounting and Kneser-Ney smoothing as special cases. PLRE training is efficient and our approach outperforms stateof-the-art modified Kneser Ney baselines in terms of perplexity on large corpora as well as on BLEU score in a downstream machine translation task.
Association of the mitochondrial tRNAA4336G mutation with Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases (1997)

Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases (AD, PD) are among the most common neurodegenerative disorders in adults. Both AD and PD have a complex aetiology, and it is widely considered that genetic factors, acting independently or in concert with other genetic and/or environmental factors, modify the risk of developing them. While the apolipoprotein E (ApoE) epsilon 4 allele represents an established risk factor for familial and sporadic late-onset AD, it has been suggested that a common polymorphism in the alpha 1-antichymotrypsin gene modifies the ApoE epsilon 4 dosage effect in AD. Moreover, it has been proposed that a mitochondrial tRNA(Gln) sequence variant (A4336G transition) confers an increased risk for both AD and PD. This finding is of particular interest as the A4336G mutation seems to predispose to two clinically and neuropathologically distinct neurodegenerative disorders. We have examined the allelic frequencies of these putative susceptibility genes in 28 neuropathologically confirmed cases of AD, 23 cases with Lewy-body PD and 100 age-matched controls without clinical or histological evidence of neurodegenerative disease. The ApoE epsilon 4 allele frequency was significantly overrepresented in AD patients vs controls (0.35 vs 0.11) but we could not find evidence for an association between the alpha 1-antichymotrypsin AA genotype, the ApoE epsilon 4 allele and AD. In contrast, the mtDNA(A4336G) mutation was present in one of AD cases and in two of 23 PD patients, whereas no mutation was found in 100 age-matched controls (P < 0.05). Our data therefore support the hypothesis that the mitochondrial A4336G mutation represents a risk factor for AD and PD.
Stability of travelling waves with algebraic decay for $n$-degree Fisher-type equations (2006)

This paper is concerned with the asymptotic stability oftravelling wave front solutions with algebraic decay for$n$-degree Fisher-type equations. By detailed spectral analysis,each travelling wave front solution with non-critical speed isproved to be locally exponentially stable to perturbations in someexponentially weighted $L^{\infty}$ spaces. Further by Evansfunction method and detailed semigroup estimates, the travellingwave fronts with non-critical speed are proved to be locallyalgebraically stable to perturbations in some polynomiallyweighted $L^{\infty}$ spaces. It's remarked that due to the slowalgebraic decay rate of the wave at $+\infty,$ the Evans functionconstructed in this paper is an extension of the definitions in[1, 3, 7, 11, 21] to some extent, and the Evansfunction can be extended analytically in the neighborhood of theorigin.
Nonlinear Error Compensation of PGC Demodulation With the Calculation of Carrier Phase Delay and Phase Modulation Depth (2021)

We propose a novel phase generated carrier (PGC) demodulation method by simultaneously calculating the carrier phase delay (θ) and the phase modulation depth (m) to compensate the nonlinear error introduced by θ and m. Firstly, θ is calculated by adopting the fundamental in-phase and quadrature harmonic components and their differential components. Secondly, this calculated θ is used to set the phases of the harmonic components of reference carrier signal to obtain three new harmonic components independent of θ. Later, m is calculated and compensated by adopting the three new harmonic components and their differential components to obtain the demodulated result. Theoretical analysis and realization of the method are described in detail. Simulation and displacement measurement experiments with different θ and m are carried out to validate the proposed method. The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method can accurately calculate and compensate θ and m, and effectively eliminate the nonlinear error of the demodulated signal.
Understanding the process window for printing lead-free solder pastes (2002)

Solder paste is primarily used as a bonding medium for surface mount assemblies (SMA) in the electronics industry. The solder paste is typically deposited using the stencil printing process. The stencil printing of solder paste is a very important and critical stage in the reflow soldering of surface mount devices. A high proportion of all SMA defects is related to the stencil printing process. This is likely to continue with the drive towards the introduction of lead-free solder pastes. Much work is continuing on the metallurgical properties of these lead-free solders, including solder joint strength and material compatibility. However, the initial challenge for the new Pb-free formulations is in achieving repeatable solder deposit from print to print and from pad to pad. To meet this challenge, new formulations in flux medium are now being developed. For a smooth transition to Pb-free soldering formulations, a proper understanding of the printing performance of the new solder pastes is necessary. The key parameters that affect solder paste printing have been identified and the subject of numerous studies. In lead-free solder paste, the replacement of lead with other elements (including Bismuth, Copper) changes the density of this dense suspension (solder paste). In this paper, we investigate the effects of the printer parameters, i.e. squeegee speed and pressure (defined as the process window) on the printing performance of a variety of lead-free solder pastes. A three-level design of experiment on these factors (pressure and speed) was used. Comparisons will be presented with lead-rich solder pastes. The metal content of the lead-free solders had a significant effect of the on the process window.

SAFE: Policy Aware SPARQL Query Federation Over RDF Data Cubes (2014)

Abstract. Several query federation engines have been proposed for accessing pub-lic Linked Open Data sources. However, in many domains, resources are sensitive and access to these resources is tightly controlled by stakeholders; consequently, privacy is a major concern when federating queries over such datasets. In this paper, we present SAFE, a SPARQL query federation engine that enables decentralised, policy-aware access to clinical information represented as RDF data cubes. We validate the performance of the system with experiments over real-world datasets provided by three clinical organisations as well as legacy Linked Datasets. In our evaluation, we show that SAFE enables granular graph-level access control over distributed clinical RDF data cubes and efficiently reduces the query execution time when compared with general-purpose SPARQL query federation engine. 1
Passive intervertebral motion characteristics in chronic mid to low back pain: A multivariate analysis (2020)

The results confirm altered motion sharing between intervertebral joints in back pain, and provides more details about this. Further work is required to establish how these findings lead to pain, and so strengthen the theoretical basis for treatment and management of this condition.
The effect of spermidine on the structure, kinetics and stability of proteinase K: spectroscopic and computational approaches (2016)

Polyamines (such as spermidine) are low molecular weight compounds which can be used as cosolvents in biological and industrial applications.
Human Error Quantification Using Performance Shaping Factors in the SPAR-H Method (2008)

This paper describes a cognitively based human reliability analysis (HRA) quantification technique for estimating the human error probabilities (HEPs) associated with operator and crew actions at nuclear power plants. The method described here, Standardized Plant Analysis Risk-Human Reliability Analysis (SPAR- H) method, was developed to aid in characterizing and quantifying human performance at nuclear power plants. The intent was to develop a defensible method that would consider all factors that may influence performance. In the SPAR-H approach, calculation of HEP rates is especially straightforward, starting with pre-defined nominal error rates for cognitive vs. action-oriented tasks, and incorporating performance shaping factor multipliers upon those nominal error rates.
Prediction Model for Breeding Hardy Geraniums (2023)

Key message. The success of interspecific hybridization in hardy geranium (Geranium sp.) can be predicted by considering the genetic distance between parental genotypes and using the logistic regression model developed in this study. Hardy geranium is a popular ornamental plant known for its architecture, hardiness, prolonged flowering, and diverse colors in leaves and flowers. In ornamental breeding, the pursuit of novel trait combinations is never-ending. Even in Geranium, certain combinations of valuable traits have not yet been achieved. Interspecific hybridization can increase diversity; however, success remains low due to pre- and postzygotic barriers. Crossing success can be predicted by response criteria such as pollen tube growth (tube_length), seed development (seed_dev), and seed setting (seed_set). Within a collection of 42 Geranium genotypes and during two consecutive breeding seasons (years), we evaluated tube_length, seed_dev, and seed_set for 150, 1155, and 349 crosses, respectively. These crosses varied in four parental differences (variables): chromosome number (Chrom), DNA/chromosome (DNA), style length (Style), and genetic distance expressed as the Jaccard distance (cJaccard = 1 − Jaccard). Using logistic regression models has confirmed that most often, the success rate decreased with increasing parental distance. The most consistent association was seen in seed_dev in combination with cJaccard. The model was used to predict the number of crosses necessary to have 10 successful crossing products by taking into account the uncertainty in the model. These findings provide valuable guidance for future planning of interspecific breeding experiments in Geranium. By incorporating the genetic distance between parental genotypes, breeders can enhance the efficiency and success of hybridization efforts.
A sub-millimeter resolution detector module for small-animal PET applications (2017)

We present a gamma detection module optimized for very high resolution PET applications, able to resolve arrays of scintillating crystals with sub-millimeter pitch. The detector is composed of a single ceramic substrate (LTCC): it hosts four flip-chip mounted PETA5 ASICs on the bottom side and an array of SiPM sensors on the top surface, fabricated in HD-RGB technology by FBK. Each chip has 36 channels, for a maximum of 144 readout channels on a sensitive area of about 32 mm × 32 mm. The module is MR-compatible. The thermal decoupling of the readout electronics from the photon sensors is obtained with an efficient internal liquid channel, integrated within the ceramic substrate. Two modules have been designed, based on different SiPM topologies:
Supplementary material from "Structural changes in calcium silicate hydrate gel and resulting improvement in phosphate species removal properties after mechanochemical treatment" (2018)

The discharge of phosphate species into aqueous environments is a key issue for eutrophication prevention. In this study, we investigate a mechanochemical treatment of calcium silicate hydrate (C-S-H) gel with different organic solvents with the aim of changing its structure and improving its phosphate species removal properties. The treatment leads to a collapse of the gel structure, resulting in the formation of defective structures in the silicate anion chains. The C-S-H gel sample milled with acetone exhibits better phosphate species recovery characteristics than does the unmilled C-S-H gel sample or the C-S-H gel sample milled with 1-propanol. Ultraviolet irradiation during phosphate recovery using the C-S-H gel sample milled with acetone further enhances the recovery properties.
Methodology of the biological risk classification of animal pathogens in Belgium (2010)

Since many micro-organisms are a biological hazard, they have been categorised into risk groups by many countries and organisations and classification lists have been developed. Current classification systems rely on criteria defined by the World Health Organization, which cover the severity of the disease the micro-organism might cause, its ability to spread and the availability of prophylaxis or efficient treatment. Animal pathogens are classified according to the definitions of the World Organisation for Animal Health, which also consider economic aspects of disease. In Europe, classification is often directly linked to containment measures. The Belgian classification system, however, only considers the inherent characteristics of the micro-organism, not its use, making the risk classification independent of containment measures. A common classification list for human and animal pathogens has been developed in Belgium using as comprehensive an approach as possible. The evolution of scientific knowledge will demand regular updating of classification lists. This paper describes the Belgian risk classification system and the methodology that was used for its peer-reviewed revision (with a focus on animal pathogens).
Supporting systolic and memory communication in iWarp (1990)

iWarp is a parallel architecture developed jointly by Carnegie Mellon University and Intel Corporation. The iWarp communication system supports two widely used interprocessor communication styles: memory communication and systolic communication . This paper describes the rationale, architecture, and implementation for the iWarp communication system. The sending or receiving processor of a message can perform either memory or systolic communication. In memory communication, the entire message is buffered in the local memory of the processor before it is transmitted or after it is received. Therefore communication begins or terminates at the local memory. For conventional message passing methods, both sending and receiving processors use memory communication. In systolic communication, individual data items are transferred as they are produced, or are used as they are received, by the program running at the processor. Memory communication is flexible and well suited for general computing; whereas systolic communication is efficient and well suited for speed critical applications. A major achievement of the iWarp effort is the derivation of a common design to satisfy the requirements of both systolic and memory communication styles. This is made possible by two important innovations in communication: (1) program access to communication and (2) logical channels. The former allows programs to access data as they are transmitted and to redirect portions of messages to different destinations efficiently. The latter increases the connectivity between the processors and guarantees communication bandwidth for classes of messages. These innovations have provided a focus for the iWarp architecture. The result is a communication system that provides a total bandwidth of 320 MBytes/sec and that is integrated on a single VLSI component with a 20 MFLOPS plus 20 MIPS long instruction word computation engine.
Vividly colored silicon metasurface, with applications in sensing and lighting (2016)

Silicon has many favorable attributes from both the device physics and manufacturing standpoints, and is therefore the pre-eminent material for micro- and nanoelectronics. Furthermore, due to its transparency at infrared wavelengths, silicon-based integrated photonics play a key role in modern optical communications devices. Silicon-based nano-optical antennas have also attracted much interest recently, due to the high refractive index and moderate losses available with silicon. Metamaterials and metasurfaces based on silicon and other dielectric materials have also gained much attention, due to the fact that they offer much lower levels of loss, compared to metals. In this work, we experimentally demonstrate a silicon metasurface in the visible frequency range, with several potential applications. (1) We demonstrate the magnetic mirror behavior of a silicon metasurface with high efficiency in the visible spectral range through direct phase measurement. The phase discontinuity between the reflected and incident light is wavelength dependent and can be engineered by appropriate design. The metasurface also reveals vivid colors across the entire red-green-blue range. (2)Using our silicon metasurface, we demonstrate a colorimetric refractometer from which a liquid's refractive index can be directly monitored with a color camera. (3) We experimentally demonstrate highly directional fluorescent emission using our silicon metasurface at visible wavelengths. Our device offers not only high efficiency, but also a high degree of tolerance in terms of the position, orientation and wavelength of the dipole emitter. We perform a multipole expansion of the fields from each element of the metasurface (a silicon nanorod). This reveals that the metasurface largely behaves as if it comprises an array of electric and magnetic dipoles.
Deposition of BaFe12O19 Thin Films by a New Injection-CVD Method (1997)

A new process of injection-MOCVD has been used to synthesize barium hexaferrite thin films on Al2O3 (0001) substrates. This new technique uses a liquid source of precursors dissolved in a convenient solvent. X-ray diffraction measurements have been performed to observe thin films lattices with respect to the orientation of the substrate : hexaferrite film epitaxy is observed with c-axis perpendicular to the substrate. Magnetic measurements have been performed in the plane and perpendicular to the film plane : they confirm the preferential orientation of films.
Utility of High-Frequency Ultrasound (2014)

Ultrasound imaging is a versatile modality frequently used in clinical medicine, most likely due to its low cost, low risk to patients, and the ability to provide images in real time. Ultrasound used typically in clinical settings has frequencies between 2 and 12 MHz. Lower frequencies produce greater resolution but are limited in depth penetration; higher frequencies produce greater resolution, but depth of penetration is limited. High-frequency ultrasound (HFUS) shows promise for detection of certain changes in the skin and this has implications for early detection of changes associated with pressure ulcer formation and wound healing. The purpose of this article was to provide an overview of where HFUS has been used with the skin and provide some discussion on its utility with detecting skin changes related to pressure.
