[Evaluation of two regimens of sisomicin treatment in bacterial infections (author's transl)]. (1978)

In this study we evaluated for a realistic head model the 3D temperature rise induced by a mobile phone. This was done numerically with the consecutive use of an FDTD model to predict the absorbed electromagnetic power distribution, and a thermal model describing bioheat transfer both by conduction and by blood flow. We calculated a maximum rise in brain temperature of 0.11 °C for an antenna with an average emitted power of 0.25 W, the maximum value in common mobile phones, and indefinite exposure. Maximum temperature rise is at the skin. The power distributions were characterized by a maximum averaged SAR over an arbitrarily shaped 10 g volume of approximately 1.6 W kg-1. Although these power distributions are not in compliance with all proposed safety standards, temperature rises are far too small to have lasting effects. We verified our simulations by measuring the skin temperature rise experimentally. Our simulation method can be instrumental in further development of safety standards.
Doppler Spectrum Estimation by Ramanujan Fourier Transforms (2006)

The Doppler spectrum estimation of a weather radar signal in a classic way can be made by two methods, temporal one based in the autocorrelation of the successful signals, whereas the other one uses the estimation of the power spectral density PSD by using Fourier transforms. We introduces a new tool of signal processing based on Ramanujan sums cq(n), adapted to the analysis of arithmetical sequences with several resonances p/q. These sums are almost periodic according to time n of resonances and aperiodic according to the order q of resonances. New results will be supplied by the use of Ramanujan Fourier Transform (RFT) for the estimation of the Doppler spectrum for the weather radar signal.
Polymorphism Behavior of Poly(ethylene naphthalate)/Clay Nanocomposites:  Role of Clay Surface Modification (2007)

The influence of clay surface modification on the polymorphism behavior of poly(ethylene naphthalate) (PEN)/clay nanocomposites was investigated via in situ Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction. The results show that untreated clay has a heterogeneous nucleating effect on PEN and favors the beta-crystal form, while the surfactant 1-hexadecyl-2,3-dimethylimidazolium (IMC16) has a plasticization effect and tends to enhance the kinetically favored alpha-phase instead. In contrast, the nanocomposite (PEN/IMC16-MMT) formed from IMC16-treated clay (IMC16-MMT) exhibits a strong temperature-dependent polymorphic behavior, with the beta-phase being more favored at 200 degrees C, but the alpha-phase being preferred instead at 180 degrees C. In situ FTIR spectroscopy of PEN/IMC16-MMT reveals an abrupt change in the concentration of alpha- and beta-"crystalline conformers" between the two temperatures during the induction period of crystallization. This is attributed to the hindered formation of stable nuclei at the organoclay surface. In addition, surfactant degradation gives rise to a highly plasticized polymer/organoclay interface. The combination of the hindered heterogeneous nucleation and plasticization effects gives rise to the unique temperature-dependent polymorphism behavior in PEN/IMC16-MMT.
ANALYSIS OF THE $\nu_{3}$ BAND OF $SO_{2}$ AND $NO_{2}$: APPLICATION TO STRATOSPHERIC $NO_{2}$ TITRATION (1975)

The spectrum of the $\\nu_{3}$ band of $SO_{2}$ has been recorded on a ``dual-grille” spectrometer with a resolution of $0.06 cm^{-1}$. The accuracy of the calibration in wavenumber is $0.005 cm^{-1}$. The excited level constants have been computed by a mean square iterative method. The Watson’s formalism has been used. A similar work on the $\\nu_{3}$ band of $NO_{2}$ has been carried out. Application of these data to the analysis of stratospheric absorption spectra led to the determination of the vertical concentration profile of $NO_{2}$ between 15 and 40 km altitude. Atmospheric multilayer spectra computed for this purpose are presented.
Multiway Attention Networks for Modeling Sentence Pairs (2018)

Modeling sentence pairs plays the vital role for judging the relationship between two sentences, such as paraphrase identification, natural language inference, and answer sentence selection. Previous work achieves very promising results using neural networks with attention mechanism. In this paper, we propose the multiway attention networks which employ multiple attention functions to match sentence pairs under the matching-aggregation framework. Specifically, we design four attention functions to match words in corresponding sentences. Then, we aggregate the matching information from each function, and combine the information from all functions to obtain the final representation. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed multiway attention networks improve the result on the Quora Question Pairs, SNLI, MultiNLI, and answer sentence selection task on the SQuAD dataset.

Methods in Vicariance Biogeography: Assessment of the Implementations of Assumptions 0, 1, and 2 (2000)

As we have argued previously, for the valid derivation of general area cladograms in vicariance biogeography, two requirements should be met. First, sets of area cladograms derived under assumptions 0, 1 and 2 should be inclusive (requirement I). Second, general area cladograms should be based on area cladograms, for different monophyletic groups, derived under the same assumption (requirement II). We now assess for their actual implementation of assumptions A0, A1, and A2 and for the extent to which they meet requirements I and II, the following methods (and correlated computer programs): Component Compatibility Analysis (CAFCA), Brooks Parsimony Analysis (PAUP), Component Analysis (Component 1.5), Reconciled Tree Analysis (Component 2.0), and Three Area Statement Analysis (TAS). For this purpose we use empirical (Heterandria, Xiphophorus, Cyttaria, Eriococcus/Madarococcus) and theoretical data sets. All programs appear to violate, to a different degree, requirement I (deriving inclusive sets of area cladograms under assumptions) when dealing with sympatric taxa under A1 or A2. Dealing with sympatric taxa a posteriori only prevents this violation. All programs examined appear to meet requirement II (deriving general area cladograms under a single assumption).

Performance of asynchronous DS-CDMA system withlongand short spreading codes (1994)

The effect of spreading code length on the BER performance of an asynchronous DS-CDMA system is studied by means of Monte Carlo simulation. The probability of the crosscorrelation value between segments of long sequences is also discussed. Results indicate that the system performance with very long codes is ~1 dB worse compared to that of short CDMA codes.
An empirical investigation of demographic and work environment factors affecting the recruitment and retention of accounting professionals (1990)

Recruitment and staff retention have become a substantial problem in the Australian professional accountancy environment. Although this issue has been canvassed in the professional literature, little academic research has been conducted into the area. By contrast, staffing problems have been a fertile field for research in foreign countries, especially the US. This thesis presents the results of a survey of practitioners employed by the 20 largest public accountancy firms in Eastern Australia. The method of the survey, ' is broadly similar to that used by some US researchers. These authors have cross-correlated the demographic characteristics of respondents, with their responses to attitudinal questions regarding an array of factors which affect their propensity to enter, and stay within, the profession. Such factors include salary remuneration, working conditions, job satisfaction and working pressure. Hypotheses development is based on contentious issues contemporary to the professional environment, and is divided functionally into the demographic areas of educational background, gender, country of origin, and size of firm. The results provide substantive evidence on a wide field of issues, including: the ability and motivation of university compared with non-university graduates, barriers to female accountants, and the merits and demerits of working in a larger or smaller accountancy firm.
Magnetometer Calibration Using Inertial Sensors (2016)

In this paper, we present a practical algorithm for calibrating a magnetometer for the presence of magnetic disturbances and for magnetometer sensor errors. To allow for combining the magnetometer measurements with inertial measurements for orientation estimation, the algorithm also corrects for misalignment between the magnetometer and the inertial sensor axes. The calibration algorithm is formulated as the solution to a maximum likelihood problem, and the computations are performed offline. The algorithm is shown to give good results using data from two different commercially available sensor units. Using the calibrated magnetometer measurements in combination with the inertial sensors to determine the sensor’s orientation is shown to lead to significantly improved heading estimates.
Grin and Bear It (2012)

In the study reported here, we investigated whether covertly manipulating positive facial expressions would influence cardiovascular and affective responses to stress. Participants (N = 170) naive to the purpose of the study completed two different stressful tasks while holding chopsticks in their mouths in a manner that produced a Duchenne smile, a standard smile, or a neutral expression. Awareness was manipulated by explicitly asking half of all participants in the smiling groups to smile (and giving the other half no instructions related to smiling). Findings revealed that all smiling participants, regardless of whether they were aware of smiling, had lower heart rates during stress recovery than the neutral group did, with a slight advantage for those with Duchenne smiles. Participants in the smiling groups who were not explicitly asked to smile reported less of a decrease in positive affect during a stressful task than did the neutral group. These findings show that there are both physiological and psychological benefits from maintaining positive facial expressions during stress.
E-Plane Filters with Finite-Thickness Septa (1983)

The effect of the metalization thickness of the septum is incorporated into an efficient computer-aided design (CAD) program for E-plane filters. The method is mathematically exact and numerically efficient. The results agree well with experimental data. The effect of the metal thickness on filter performance is demonstrated with a Ku-band filter.

Bias Correction with a Single Null Marker for Population Stratification in Candidate Gene Association Studies (2005)

Population stratification is a form of confounding by ethnicity that may cause bias to effect estimates and inflate test statistics in genetic association studies. Unlinked genetic markers have been used to adjust for test statistics, but their use in correcting biased effect estimates has not been addressed. We evaluated the potential of bias correction that could be achieved by a single null marker (M) in studies involving one candidate gene (G). When the distribution of M varied greatly across ethnicities, controlling for M in a logistic regression model substantially reduced biases on odds ratio estimates. When M had same distributions as G across ethnicities, biases were further reduced or eliminated by subtracting the regression coefficient of M from the coefficient of G in the model, which was fitted either with or without a multiplicative interaction term between M and G. Correction of bias due to population stratification depended specifically on the distributions of G and M, the difference between baseline disease risks across ethnicities, and whether G had an effect on disease risk or not. Our results suggested that marker choice and the specific treatment of that marker in analysis greatly influenced bias correction.
Gender-dependent and speaker-dependent speech enhancement (2002)

Our work introduces a speech enhancement technique that can explicitly incorporate prior information about the gender or speaker time-frequency characteristics in its formalism. We approximate the multimodal, clean speech linear spectrum magnitude with a mixture of Gaussians pdfs using the Expectation-Maximization algorithm (EM). Subsequently. we apply the Bayesian inference framework to the degraded spectral coefficients and by employing Minimum Mean Square Error Estimation (MMSE) we derive a closed fonn solution for the spectral magnitude estimation task adapted to the spectral characteristics and noise variance of each band. We suggest that 2–3 minutes of phonetically balanced non-degraded gender or speaker dependent speech is adequate to tune our algorithm. We demonstrate the benefit of using an enhancement technique tailored to a specific gender or speaker and propose its use in cases where message ambiguity is of critical importance. We evaluate of our algorithm using Lynx helicopter and White Gaussian noise on the task of improving the quality of speech and in combination with a speech coder and demonstrate its robustness at very low SNRs. Implementation code is available at: http://slt.wcl.ee.upatras.gr/potamitis/index.html
Identification of new small molecules as dual FoxM1 and Hsp70 inhibitors using computational methods (2022)

Molecular dynamics simulations were performed on ZINC1152745 targeting FoxM1 and Hsp70 active sites. The results of several hydrogen bonds, the radius of gyration, RMSF, RMSD, and free energy during the simulations showed good stability of ZINC1152745 with FoxM1 and Hsp70.
Characterization of potential impurities and degradation products in electronic cigarette formulations and aerosols (2015)

E-cigarettes are gaining popularity in the U.S. as well as in other global markets. Currently, limited published analytical data characterizing e-cigarette formulations (e-liquids) and aerosols exist. While FDA has not published a harmful and potentially harmful constituent (HPHC) list for e-cigarettes, the HPHC list for currently regulated tobacco products may be useful to analytically characterize e-cigarette aerosols. For example, most e-cigarette formulations contain propylene glycol and glycerin, which may produce aldehydes when heated. In addition, nicotine-related chemicals have been previously reported as potential e-cigarette formulation impurities. This study determined e-liquid formulation impurities and potentially harmful chemicals in aerosols of select commercial MarkTen(®) e-cigarettes manufactured by NuMark LLC. The potential hazard of the identified formulation impurities and aerosol chemicals was also estimated. E-cigarettes were machine puffed (4-s duration, 55-mL volume, 30-s intervals) to battery exhaustion to maximize aerosol collection. Aerosols analyzed for carbonyls were collected in 20-puff increments to account for analyte instability. Tobacco specific nitrosamines were measured at levels observed in pharmaceutical grade nicotine. Nicotine-related impurities in the e-cigarette formulations were below the identification and qualification thresholds proposed in ICH Guideline Q3B(R2). Levels of potentially harmful chemicals detected in the aerosols were determined to be below published occupational exposure limits.
ICELLNET: a transcriptome-based framework to dissect intercellular communication (2020)

Abstract Cell-to-cell communication can be inferred from ligand-receptor expression in cell transcriptomic datasets. However, important challenges remain: 1) global integration of cell-to-cell communication, 2) biological interpretation, and 3) application to individual cell population transcriptomic profiles. We developed ICELLNET, a transcriptomic-based framework integrating: 1) an original expert-curated database of ligand-receptor interactions accounting for multiple subunits expression, 2) quantification of communication scores, 3) the possibility to connect a cell population of interest with 31 reference human cell types (BioGPS), and 4) three visualization modes to facilitate biological interpretation. We applied ICELLNET to uncover different communication in breast cancer associated fibroblast (CAF) subsets. ICELLNET also revealed autocrine IL-10 as a switch to control human dendritic cell communication with up to 12 other cell types, four of which were experimentally validated. In summary, ICELLNET is a global, versatile, biologically validated, and easy-to-use framework to dissect cell communication from single or multiple cell-based transcriptomic profile(s).
Effect of heating on the optical properties of Yb3+-doped fibres and fibre lasers (2004)

The effect of heating on the optical properties of Yb3+-doped fibres is studied. It is shown that the lasing efficiency of fibre lasers depends on the fibre temperature, the type and extent of the effect being substantially dependent on the laser wavelength. It is proposed to use fibre heating to increase the efficiency of lasers emitting in the 1.15 — 1.2-μm region.

The Arabidopsis Thylakoid Protein PAM68 Is Required for Efficient D1 Biogenesis and Photosystem II Assembly (2010)

Photosystem II (PSII) is a multiprotein complex that functions as a light-driven water:plastoquinone oxidoreductase in photosynthesis. Assembly of PSII proceeds through a number of distinct intermediate states and requires auxiliary proteins. The photosynthesis affected mutant 68 (pam68) of Arabidopsis thaliana displays drastically altered chlorophyll fluorescence and abnormally low levels of the PSII core subunits D1, D2, CP43, and CP47. We show that these phenotypes result from a specific decrease in the stability and maturation of D1. This is associated with a marked increase in the synthesis of RC (the PSII reaction center-like assembly complex) at the expense of PSII dimers and supercomplexes. PAM68 is a conserved integral membrane protein found in cyanobacterial and eukaryotic thylakoids and interacts in split-ubiquitin assays with several PSII core proteins and known PSII assembly factors. Biochemical analyses of thylakoids from Arabidopsis and Synechocystis sp PCC 6803 suggest that, during PSII assembly, PAM68 proteins associate with an early intermediate complex that might contain D1 and the assembly factor LPA1. Inactivation of cyanobacterial PAM68 destabilizes RC but does not affect larger PSII assembly complexes. Our data imply that PAM68 proteins promote early steps in PSII biogenesis in cyanobacteria and plants, but their inactivation is differently compensated for in the two classes of organisms.
The inhibitor of F VIIa in plasma measured with a sensitive chromogenic substrate assay: comparison with antithrombin, protein C and heparin cofactor II in a clinical material. (1988)

The plasma inhibitor(s) of factor VIIa-tissue thromboplastin cooperates with factor Xa. This "Extrinsic Pathway Inhibitor" has been quantitated with a sensitive chromogenic substrate assay. Gel filtration of plasma separates 3 EPI peaks. Postoperatively, both EPI and the other coagulation inhibitors decrease. Unlike the other inhibitors, EPI is usually normal in severe liver cirrhosis. In disseminated intravascular coagulation, EPI levels vary considerably.
Thanatin targets the intermembrane protein complex required for lipopolysaccharide transport in Escherichia coli (2018)

With the increasing resistance of many Gram-negative bacteria to existing classes of antibiotics, identifying new paradigms in antimicrobial discovery is an important research priority. Of special interest are the proteins required for the biogenesis of the asymmetric Gram-negative bacterial outer membrane (OM). Seven Lpt proteins (LptA to LptG) associate in most Gram-negative bacteria to form a macromolecular complex spanning the entire envelope, which transports lipopolysaccharide (LPS) molecules from their site of assembly at the inner membrane to the cell surface, powered by adenosine 5'-triphosphate hydrolysis in the cytoplasm. The periplasmic protein LptA comprises the protein bridge across the periplasm, which connects LptB<sub>2</sub>FGC at the inner membrane to LptD/E anchored in the OM. We show here that the naturally occurring, insect-derived antimicrobial peptide thanatin targets LptA and LptD in the network of periplasmic protein-protein interactions required to assemble the Lpt complex, leading to the inhibition of LPS transport and OM biogenesis in <i>Escherichia coli</i>.
