Constrained adaptive Markov transition matrix based target tracking with IMMPF (2012)

Interacting multiple models particle filter (IMMPF) has been recently paid great attention for its eminent ability in solving nonlinear target tracking problem. Through improving some filter steps, such as sampling and re-sampling, particle filter can offer more estimation accuracy. This paper proposes a particle filter taking advantage of constrained adaptive Markov transition matrix based on post-probability. At the end of each filter iteration process, we study two methods to update Markov transition matrix for the next iteration process. One is with the ratio of likelihood function, and the other is with the compress ratio of estimation error. Furthermore, to avoid possible failure resulted from abnormal data during the iteration process; we set the upper bound to constrain Markov transition probability. Simulations show that constrained adaptive Markov transition matrix is beneficial to improve interacting multiple models particle filter results.
Impact of Brettanomyces Yeast on Wine Flavor: Sensory Description of Wines with Different (2000)

Growth of the yeast Brettanomyces/Dekkera in wine can drastically alter the aroma characteristics to the point where all varietal and regional flavor characteristics are overwhelmed by the flavors produced by these yeasts. To avoid spoilage it is important to know more about the aromas formed by these yeasts and be able to detect the changes in aroma early so that further growth of the yeast and further aroma modification can be avoided. Two groups of commercial wines with suspected "Brett" character were evaluated by two trained panels of judges. The first group included four Cabernet Sauvignon and two Pinot Noir wines; the second included four Cabernet Sauvignon wines. All were evaluated by sensory descriptive analysis and GC/MS 4-ethyl phenol analysis. Characteristic "Brett" aromas such as plastic, burnt plastic, Band-aid (TM), cow manure, barnyard, and horse sweat were summarized by the first group of tasters as 'plastic.' For the second group 'plastic' included only pastic, burnt plastic, and Band-aid (TM) odors. Dry manure and sweaty/animal were separate descriptors. In both groups, the wines were differentiated by univariate analysis of variance (ANOVA) and multivariate discriminant analysis (DA) by two descriptors: plastic and fruity. The greatest fruit character and lowest plastic scores defined the younger Cabernets, and the opposite was true for the older wines. There was little difference between the two Pinot Noirs for either descriptor. The a priori "Brett" observations from the winemakers proved to be a consistent predictor of Brett character for all wines. The observations also agreed with the 4-ethyl phenol concentrations and the post-hoc plastic mean scores from the ANOVA analyses. The "strong Brett" wines were the older vintage wines with higher 4-ethyl phenol concentrations, higher plastic and lower fruity mean scores. Wines with "maybe some" and "no Brett" had the lower 4-ethyl phenol concentrations and more fruit with less plastic scores. This investigation shows that aroma modifications by Brettanomyces yeasts can be reliably detected and quantified with trained tasters. Further investigations into the chemical basis of the 'Brett' aromas will allow us to use chemical indicators to detect activity of these yeasts early.

Li2O-MgO-B2O3-Al2O3-SiO2 GLASS-CERAMIC FOR DENTAL VENEERING APPLICATION (2014)

Spodumene-cordierite (Li2O-MgO-Al2O3-SiO2) glass ceramic and borosilicate glass (Pyrex) are used as veneering materials due to theirbio-inertness, high thermal shock resistance, and low thermal expansion coefficient which is compatible with silicon nitride ceramic dental cores. This study has focused on the study of the phase analysis, hardness, and improved appearance of glass ceramics prepared by melting 1.9 wt% Li2O, 3.2 wt% MgO, 7.4 wt% B2O3, 16.5 wt% Al2O3, 65.8 wt% SiO2, 2.5 wt% ZrO2, 1.25 wt% P2O5, and an addition of 2.5 wt% Na3AlF6 (cryolite) at 1450 o C for 1 h. The glass melts were then quenched in water to make glass frits. After dry grinding with aplanetary mill at 300 rpm for 30 min, the prepared veneer powders were mixed with polyvinyl alcohol solution as a binder and were then coated on the sintered silicon nitride ceramic dental cores using a paint brush. The specimens were fired in an electrical tube furnace in the temperature range of 900-1100 o C for 5 min and then soaked at 790 o C for 1 h. The veneered specimen at 950 o C shows a good appearance, rather white and semi-opaque, and a smooth and glossy surface without any defects or crazing. The veneering materials have a low thermal expansion coefficient of about 2.7-5.0 × 10 -6o C -1 which is suitable for the silicon nitride ceramic dental cores. The Vickers hardness of the prepared samples is about 4.0-4.5 GPa which is close to that of human teeth.

Interleukin‐20 as a Target in Psoriasis Treatment (2007)

Interleukin-20 (IL-20) is a new member of the IL-10 cytokine family discovered by a structural algorithm. IL-20 transgenic mice displayed skin abnormalities reminiscent of psoriasis, a finding that has prompted the investigation of this new interleukin in relation to this disease. This article reviews the role of IL-20 and its implication in psoriasis. It is shown that IL-20 and its receptors are found in human skin and that IL-20 is involved in proliferation, angiogenesis, and chemotaxis, all characteristics of psoriasis. We demonstrated that IL-20 induced the thickening of human epidermis in vivo; however, this thickening does not seem to be related to a direct effect of IL-20 on hyperproliferation since the growth of normal human epidermal keratinocytes (NHEKs) cultured in vitro was not affected by IL-20. On the other hand, in vitro, IL-20 stimulated human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) to produce proinflammatory cytokines and, in vivo, IL-20 in combination with PBMCs induced psoriasis. This may suggest that IL-20 indirectly exerts its proliferative effects on keratinocytes via immune cells present in the skin. Finally, we found that blocking IL-20 signaling in psoriasis improves psoriasis, suggesting that IL-20 is a potential target in psoriasis treatment.
Core-shell-structured silica/polyacrylate particles prepared by Pickering emulsion: influence of the nucleation model on particle interfacial organization and emulsion stability (2014)

This work reports a new evidence of the versatility of silica sol as a stabilizer for Pickering emulsions. The organization of silica particles at the oil-water interface is a function of the nucleation model. The present results show that nucleation model, together with monomer hydrophobicity, can be used as a trigger to modify the packing density of silica particles at the oil-water interface: Less hydrophobic methylmethacrylate, more wettable with silica particles, favors the formation of core-shell-structured composite when the composite particles are prepared by miniemulsion polymerization in which monomers are fed in batch (droplet nucleation). By contrast, hydrophobic butylacrylate promotes the encapsulating efficiency of silica when monomers are fed dropwise (homogeneous nucleation). The morphologies of polyacrylate-nano-SiO2 composites prepared from different feed ratio of methylmethacrylate/butylacrylate (with different hydrophobicity) and by different feed processes are characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) techniques. The results from SEM and TEM show that the morphologies of the as-prepared polyacrylate/nano-SiO2 composite can be a core-shell structure or a bare acrylic sphere. The stability of resulting emulsions composed of these composite particles is strongly dependent on the surface coverage of silica particles. The emulsion stability is improved by densely silica-packed composite particles.

Cefoperazone sodium preparation behavior after intramammary administration in healthy and infected cows (2010)

Selection of the antimicrobial agent and maintenance of adequate drug concentrations at the site of infection are the most relevant problems in mastitis antibiotic therapy. Intramammary drug efficacy can be maximized by keeping drug concentrations at the site of infection above the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) as long as possible; the most important pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic (PK/PD) measure for efficacy evaluation is time during which drug concentrations exceed the MIC (t>MIC). To evaluate this measure, the PK profile of cefoperazone (CFP) after single intramammary administration in healthy and subclinical infected Staphylococcus aureus cows and the MIC of Staph. aureus field strains were assessed. In addition, the degree of drug passage from udder to bloodstream was investigated by measuring systemic drug absorption in healthy and infected animals. Cefoperazone concentrations were quantified by HPLC in quarter milk samples and blood serum samples. Systemic drug absorption was negligible in healthy animals (0.020+/-0.006 microg/mL serum at 4 h), whereas it was higher in infected animals (0.102+/-0.079 microg/mL at 4h and 0.025 microg/mL at 24 h), probably due to the damage of epithelial cell junctions caused by subclinical infections. The MIC90 value for CFP in Staph. aureus field strains (n=24) was 0.64 microg/mL. The PK/PD evaluation, determined by t>MIC, showed a longer persistence of CFP in infected quarters than in healthy ones (mean residence time was 8.37+/-1.51 vs. 11.42+/-5.74 h in September and 2.07+/-0.43 vs. 3.31+/-0.91 h in October), with a t>MIC of 45+/-6 h for infected quarters versus 38+/-5 h for healthy quarters different only in October. This could mean a prolonged time in which microorganisms are exposed to drug activity and thus, a greater efficacy of the drug.

Expression of the Mucosal Homing Receptor α4β7Correlates with the Ability of CD8+Memory T Cells To Clear Rotavirus Infection (1998)

The integrin alpha4beta7 plays an important role in lymphocyte homing to mucosal lymphoid tissues and has been shown to define a subpopulation of memory T cells capable of homing to intestinal sites. Here we have used a well-characterized intestinal virus, murine rotavirus, to investigate whether memory/effector function for an intestinal pathogen is associated with alpha4beta7 expression. Alpha4beta7(hi) memory phenotype (CD44hi), alpha4beta7- memory phenotype, and presumptively naive (CD44(lo)) CD8+ T lymphocytes from rotavirus-infected mice were sorted and transferred into Rag-2 (T- and B-cell-deficient) recipients that were chronically infected with murine rotavirus. Alpha4beta7(hi) memory phenotype CD8+ cells were highly efficient at clearing rotavirus infection, alpha4beta7- memory cells were inefficient or ineffective, depending on the cell numbers transferred, and CD44(lo) cells were completely unable to clear chronic rotavirus infection. These data demonstrate that functional memory for rotavirus resides primarily in memory phenotype cells that display the mucosal homing receptor alpha4beta7.
Intracellular Calcium, Endothelial Cells and Angiogenesis (2006)

The proliferation and motility of vascular endothelial cells (ECs) are critical steps in angiogenesis and are strictly controlled by different extracellular signals. Among mitogens, peptides binding to tyrosine kinase receptors (i.e. VEGFs and FGFs) are well known and are released by several cell types, including ECs and tumor cells. The binding of mitogens to their specific receptors triggers intracellular signaling cascades, involving a number of messengers working in a sort of network. In particular, in this review we describe the increases of calcium levels in the cytosol, a universal, evolutionary conserved and highly versatile signal involved in the regulation of EC's proliferation and motility. Most mitogens, including angiogenic factors, generate cytosolic calcium rises through two mechanisms: entry from extracellular medium, through the opening of calcium permeable channels in the plasma membrane, or release from intracellular organelles (mainly endoplasmic reticulum, ER). Calcium entry, the main topic of this review, can be dependent on previously IP(3)-activated emptying of calcium stores (store-dependent or capacitative calcium entry--CCE), or independent on it (non capacitative calcium entry, NCCE). The intracellular pathways underlying calcium entry are under investigation and recently arachidonic acid (AA) and nitric oxide (NO) metabolism have been suggested to play a key role, at least in some cell types. Even if some calcium entry blockers are under clinical trial with encouraging results, a better knowledge about the molecular nature of calcium channels and their intracellular regulation, together with a more detailed description of spatiotemporal dynamics of intracellular calcium events, could lead to new and more specific strategies in therapeutical approach to cancer progression and angiogenesis.
Sequential labelling of microdamage in bone using chelating agents (2000)

Basic fuchsin labels microcracks, but a series of stains is required to differentiate between preexisting and test-induced microcracks and to label their growth in vitro. Basic fuchsin and five chelating agents-alizarin complexone, calcein, calcein blue, oxytetracycline, and xylenol orange-were randomly assigned to label microcracks in sequential rib sections from 10 donors. The density, length, and location of the microcracks did not differ significantly between the six stains, suggesting that each was equally effective in detecting microcracks. Paired specimens of trabecular bone were machined from bovine tibiae, stained with oxytetracycline, and fatigued in compression. One specimen from each pair was then stained with xylenol orange. Preexisting microdamage was stained with oxytetracycline, propagating microcracks with both stains and new, test-initiated damage with xylenol orange. Chelating agents are site-specific markers of the initiation and growth of microcracks.
Henry VII: His Funeral and Will (1963)

Modern history may be said to begin with the accession of Henry VII—politically speaking, it was the beginning of a new age. Both Edward IV and Richard III had been inspired with the new ideas of kingship and government,1 but they had been hampered by men who had grown old in faction fights. After Bosworth the field was clear for the new sovereign and he was supported by the new generation mightily resolved that the bad old days should not come again.KeywordsSilver PlateAustere Religious OrderFaction FightGothic ArchitecturePrefer DarknessThese keywords were added by machine and not by the authors.

Magnetoresistance tensor ofLa0.8Sr0.2MnO3 (2009)

We measure the temperature dependence of the anisotropic magnetoresistance (AMR) and the planar Hall effect (PHE) in $c$-axis-oriented epitaxial thin films of ${\text{La}}_{0.8}{\text{Sr}}_{0.2}{\text{MnO}}_{3}$ for different current directions relative to the crystal axes, and show that both AMR and PHE depend strongly on current orientation. We determine a magnetoresistance tensor, extracted to fourth order, which reflects the crystal symmetry and provides a comprehensive description of the data. We extend the applicability of the extracted tensor by determining the biaxial magnetocrystalline anisotropy in our samples.
Iterative controller design by frequency scale experimental decomposition (2002)

The purpose of this paper is to show up some issues related to the "windsurfing approach to learning control". The main idea is to avoid open-loop identification, and to design the controller in a progressive way, incorporating the new results to the previous one. A detailed example illustrates the main issues of this approach.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">&gt;</ETX>
