Sellmeier Coefficients and Chromatic Dispersions for Some Tellurite Glasses (1995)

Sellmeier coefficients are necessary to optimize the design parameters of optical devices. These coefficients are computed for binary tellurite glasses to find the chromatic dispersion behavior at any wavelength, particularly at the optical windows of optical fiber communication systems and femtosecond technology. A single‐oscillator DiDomenico and Wemple's dispersion equation is not sufficient to represent accurately the measured refractive indexes throughout the transmission range. As a minimum, a two‐pole Sellmeier equation is necessary to represent the data more accurately. Both the average electronic absorption band gap and the lattice absorption frequency, lying in the UV and IR region, respectively, affect the refractive indexes and their dispersion. Various other optical properties are discussed. A single‐oscillator dispersion equation is unable to verify the existence of zero‐dispersion wavelength.
A Canine Distemper Outbreak in Alaska: Diagnosis and Strain Characterization Using Sequence Analysis (2003)

Vaccination with modified-live vaccines has been very effective in reducing the incidence of canine distemper, a disease that can be devastating in unvaccinated populations. A diagnostic submission to the Animal Health Diagnostic Laboratory at Michigan State University, East Lansing, Michigan, involved a case in which several hundred dogs in an Alaskan town died in a suspected canine distemper outbreak. Cytoplasmic and intranuclear eosinophilic inclusion bodies, consistent with canine distemper virus (CDV) infection, were found in urinary bladder, spleen, lung, and salivary gland. Direct fluorescent antibody test gave results that could be considered positive for canine distemper. Because of the condition of the tissues received, the histopathology and fluorescent antibody-staining results were suggestive but not conclusive of CDV. In this study, immunohistochemistry, reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), and DNA sequencing were used to confirm the presence of canine distemper virus in these tissues and to perform molecular characterization of the virus. Immunohistochemistry showed the presence of the virus in spleen, lung, and salivary gland. Viral RNA was detected by RT-PCR in brain, spleen, liver, lung, and kidney, both with nucleoprotein and phosphoprotein (P)-gene-specific primers. Sequence alignment and phylogenetic analysis of a 540-bp P-gene fragment of the Alaskan strain with corresponding sequences of 2 vaccine and 7 wild-type CDV strains showed that the virus responsible for the outbreak was closely related to a virulent strain of distemper virus from Siberia.
A Face Recognition Application for People with Visual Impairments (2018)

Recognizing others is a major challenge for people with visual impairments (VIPs) and can hinder engagement in social activities. We present Accessibility Bot, a research prototype bot on Facebook Messenger, that leverages state-of-the-art computer vision and a user's friends' tagged photos on Facebook to help people with visual impairments recognize their friends. Accessibility Bot provides users information about identity and facial expressions and attributes of friends captured by their phone's camera. To guide our design, we interviewed eight VIPs to understand their challenges and needs in social activities. After designing and implementing the bot, we conducted a diary study with six VIPs to study its use in everyday life. While most participants found the Bot helpful, their experience was undermined by perceived low recognition accuracy, difficulty aiming a camera, and lack of knowledge about the phone's status. We discuss these real-world challenges, identify suitable use cases for Accessibility Bot, and distill design implications for future face recognition applications.
Dynamics of DNA Molecules in Gel Studied by Fluorescence Microscopy (1999)

The dynamics of individual DNA molecules in a thin gel were studied with fluorescence microscopy. Driven by an electric field, molecules hooked around isolated obstacles and became extended. By analyzing molecular images, we identified the reptation tube and primitive chain. When the field was turned off, the molecules relaxed. The relaxation time tau1 and primitive chain length <L> at equilibrium depend on N, the size of the molecule in base pairs, consistently with reptation theory. Using five yeast chromosomal DNAs ranging in size from 245 kb to 980 kb, we found that: These results constitute a way of sizing individual DNA molecules by imaging rather than by gel electrophoresis.
Robust antibody and cellular responses with an improved DNA vaccine alone (2012)

Background The recent results of the RV144 trial demonstrate that HIV-specific antibodies may provide protection from infection. DNA vaccines may represent an important HIV vaccine platform since they are safe, relatively inexpensive to manufacture, and stable at room temperature. However, the platform has been used largely as a prime modality limited to induce low level CD4 T cell responses in NHP and humans. In this study we sought to improve our current DNA vaccines to induce HIVspecific antibodies with plasmid vaccination alone.
Vibraudio pose (2010)

Current video games operate on the assumption of the player continuously facing the screen, which limits the possibilities in full-body gaming. Using commodity game controllers to capture full-body poses, we investigate player performance and experience in 3D video games using positive and negative reinforcement along audio, vibration and visual channels. To explore this, we conducted a study regarding non-visual feedback's effect on participating player's experience and performance. The results indicate that players sometimes performed faster with a visual guide, but preferred visual and non-visual feedback almost equally. Between non-visual feedback types, they performed fastest and preferred audio in a positive role and vibration in a negative role. Additionally, participants preferred vibration to audio as a feedback mechanism.
Preparation, X-ray structure and properties of a hexabrominated, symmetric indole trimer and its TCNQ adduct: a new route to functional molecular systems (2000)

Reaction of indole with Br2 led to isolation of an indole trimer 2, formed by linking the 2- and 3-positions of each indole to form a central aromatic ring, and brominated at the 5- and 6-positions of each indole. The X-ray structure of [2]·acetone·2DMF showed π-stacking of the planar aromatic molecules with two different overlap modes with interplanar distances of 3.287 Å and 3.378 Å. Cyclic voltammetry showed one reversible oxidation for 2 and phosphorescence from frozen ethanol solution was observed. The X-ray structure of the adduct [2][TCNQ]2·4DMSO was determined and showed a mixed stack arrangement where 2 alternates with two adjacent TCNQ molecules.
A mobile robot that performs human acceptable motions (2006)

The presence of humans should be explicitly taken into account in all steps of robot's design and particularly for robot motion. The robot should reason about human partner's accessibility, his vision field and potential shared motions and behave as a social being by respecting social rules and protocols. This paper describes the algorithms and results of a navigation planner that takes into account the human presence explicitly. This planner is part of a human-aware motion and manipulation planning and control system that we aim to develop in order to achieve motion and manipulation tasks in presence and?or in synergy with human.

Vascular development in primate retina: comparison of laminar plexus formation in monkey and human. (1994)

In both primates, deeper capillary plexuses form only by extension from existing vessels (angiogenesis). In the NFL, early vessel formation involves spindle precursor cells (vasculogenesis). The main difference between monkey and human in these processes is that the mature monkey vascular pattern is established well before birth.
Phase I and Pharmacologic Study of Irinotecan Administered as a 96-Hour Infusion Weekly to Adult Cancer Patients (2000)

The recommended phase II dose of irinotecan of 10 mg/m(2)/d for 4 days weekly for 2 of 3 weeks was extremely well tolerated. Further efficacy testing of this pharmacologic strategy of administering intermittent low doses of irinotecan is warranted.
User-Centric Interference Nulling in Downlink Multi-Antenna Heterogeneous Networks (2016)

In heterogeneous networks (HetNets), strong interference due to spectrum reuse affects each user's signal-to-interference ratio (SIR), and hence is one limiting factor of network performance. In this paper, we propose a user-centric interference nulling (IN) scheme in a downlink large-scale HetNet to improve coverage/outage probability by improving each user's SIR. This IN scheme utilizes at most maximum IN degree of freedom (DoF) at each macro-base station to avoid interference to uniformly selected macro (pico) users with signal-to-individual-interference ratio below a macro (pico) IN threshold, where the maximum IN DoF and the two IN thresholds are three design parameters. Using tools from stochastic geometry, we first obtain a tractable expression of the coverage (equivalently outage) probability. Then, we obtain the asymptotic expressions of the coverage/outage probability in the low and high SIR threshold regimes. The analytical results indicate that the maximum IN DoF can affect the order gain of the outage probability in the low SIR threshold regime, but cannot affect the order gain of the coverage probability in the high SIR threshold regime. Moreover, we characterize the optimal maximum IN DoF, which optimizes the asymptotic coverage/outage probability. Finally, numerical results show that the proposed scheme can achieve good gains in coverage/outage probability over some baseline schemes.
Non-monooxygenase cytochromes P450 as potential human autoantigens in anticonvulsant hypersensitivity reactions (1998)

Antibodies recognizing rat cytochrome P450 (CYP) 3A1 but not the closely related human CYPs 3A4/5 have been identified in the sera of patients with hypersensitivity reactions to phenytoin and carbamazepine. Comparison of the mapped epitope to the comparable region in CYP3A4 revealed that Leu361 was essential for antibody recognition because of L361V mutation (mimicking human EYLDMVVNETLRL) abolished immunoreactivity. To identify alternative human autoantigens, a site-directed mutagenesis strategy was employed to identify amino acids critical for antibody recognition. A protein database search with the consensus sequence, DxVLxETLxx, from immunoblot analysis produced CYP8 (prostacyclin synthase), CYP5A1 (thromboxane synthase), CYP27 and CYP7A1 (cholesterol 7 alpha-hydroxylase) as possible candidates; considerable homology was also observed with the fungal CYP52A subfamily. Immunoblotting with patient sera and fragments of each candidate autoantigen expressed as Escherichia coli gene 10 fusion proteins confirmed CYP8 and CYP5A1 as possible antigens, and revealed the presence of IgG1 and IgG3 antibodies against a construct mimicking fungal CYP52A10. All patient sera contained IgG4 antibodies against CYP8, CYP5A1 and the fungal mimic suggestive of continual antigenic challenge. In genetically susceptible individuals, prior infectious challenge may be a determinant of risk for the development of anticonvulsant hypersensitivity reactions and has been incorporated into a model investigating the pathogenesis of these events.
Compressive sensing: Principles and hardware implementations (2013)

Compressive sensing (CS) [1]-[3] has emerged in the last decade as a powerful tool and paradigm for acquiring signals of interest from fewer measurements than was thought possible. CS capitalizes on the the fact that many real-world signals inherently have far fewer degrees of freedom than the signal size might indicate. For instance, a signal with a sparse spectrum depends upon fewer degrees of freedom than the total bandwidth it may cover. CS theory then asserts that one can use very efficient randomized sensing protocols, which would sample such signals in proportion to their degrees of freedom rather than in proportion to the dimension of the larger space they occupy (e.g., Nyquist-rate sampling). An overview and mathematical description of CS can be found in [4].
TEMPORAL VARIATION OF THE RING WIDTH–WOOD DENSITY RELATIONSHIP IN NORWAY SPRUCE GROWN UNDER TWO LEVELS OF ANTHROPOGENIC DISTURBANCE (2003)

The ring width–wood density relationship (RW–WDR) is somewhat controversial. Most of the literature reports negative, but weak relationships, while others found no significant relationships at all. This study analyses the RW–WDR using a dataset of twenty even-aged Norway spruce trees grown at two different levels of air pollution in the Eastern Ore Mountains, Germany. Ring width, latewood proportion and wood density were measured in each tree ring. The year-to-year (temporal) variability of the RW–WDR was calculated by sequentially taking the rings grown in the same calendar year in trees within a site. In addition, RW–WDR was also calculated across tree rings (pith to bark) of given trees. During the observed period, the temporal RW–WDR fluctuated between negative and positive correlations with certain climatic patterns, as well as forest operations, playing a prominent role. It was shown that increased late-season rainfall favoured a more positive relationship. The temporal RW–WDR illustrated, for given trees of a site, that smaller rings formed in certain years might be related to higher wood density while other years may result to lower wood density. This finding is useful for an improved understanding regarding the effect of ring width on wood density.
Retrospective Analysis of Patients with Advanced Liposarcoma in a Tertiary Referral Center (2019)

The LPS subtypes analyzed have a poor prognosis and low response rates to chemotherapy. The prognostic factors identified support the concept of offering systemic chemotherapy to patients with inoperable, advanced disease and of considering metastasectomy in eligible patients.
Luminescent Carbon Nanodots: Emergent Nanolights (2010)

Similar to its popular older cousins the fullerene, the carbon nanotube, and graphene, the latest form of nanocarbon, the carbon nanodot, is inspiring intensive research efforts in its own right. These surface-passivated carbonaceous quantum dots, so-called C-dots, combine several favorable attributes of traditional semiconductor-based quantum dots (namely, size- and wavelength-dependent luminescence emission, resistance to photobleaching, ease of bioconjugation) without incurring the burden of intrinsic toxicity or elemental scarcity and without the need for stringent, intricate, tedious, costly, or inefficient preparation steps. C-dots can be produced inexpensively and on a large scale (frequently using a one-step pathway and potentially from biomass waste-derived sources) by many approaches, ranging from simple candle burning to in situ dehydration reactions to laser ablation methods. In this Review, we summarize recent advances in the synthesis and characterization of C-dots. We also speculate on their future and discuss potential developments for their use in energy conversion/storage, bioimaging, drug delivery, sensors, diagnostics, and composites.

Development and evaluation of a novel contamination device that targets multiple life-stages of Aedes aegypti (2014)

This ovitrap is a promising new tool in the battle against Dengue. It has proven to be attractive to Aedes aegypti mosquitoes and effective in contaminating these with Beauveria bassiana. Furthermore, we show that the larvicide pyriproxyfen is successfully disseminated to breeding sites close to the trap. Its low production and operating costs enable large scale deployment in Dengue-affected locations.
Optimal reserved resources to ensure the repetitions in Ultra-Reliable Low-Latency Communication Uplink Grant-free transmission (2019)

To meet the strict requirements of Ultra-Reliable Low-Latency Communication in the uplink, grant-free uplink transmission has been specified, allowing the UE to transmit data in a random-access fashion without first transmitting a scheduling request and then waiting for a uplink grant from the gNB. To further increase the reliability, these grant-free uplink transmissions can be repeated without waiting for HARQ feedback from the gNB. However, these repetitions have to happen within a certain interval to avoid a confusion in HARQ IDs of different HARQ processes. When a UE starts transmitting late in the interval, it, therefore, can not exploit all the possible repetitions and thus reliability and latency decrease. In this paper, a scheme based on reserved resources is proposed to ensure the number of repetitions in a specific period. The size of each reserved resource is optimized depending on its position so as to reduce resource consumption. The scheme evaluated by theoretical analysis and numerical results shows its benefits to system performance.
Surgical Treatment of Patients with the Carcinoid Syndrome (1989)

During the last 5-year period aggressive surgical debulking was performed in 19 of 21 consecutive patients with the midgut carcinoid syndrome. Two patients were excluded due to severe cardiac disease. Fourteen of the patients had hepatic metastases. Carcinoid symptoms can occur also in patients without proven liver disease with sole lymph node metastases or retroperitoneal tumours. In 4 patients all metastatic tumour tissue could be removed resulting in biochemical cure and no symptoms. In patients with multifocal hepatic metastases surgical debulking was followed by transarterial embolisations of the hepatic arteries. All patients had good symptomatic relief of the combined surgical and radiological treatment. Five patients had currently stable disease anatomically and biochemically, 2 slowly progressive disease and one patient has a more rapid progression. Three patients have just undergone debulking and are waiting for further treatment. During the observation period 4 patients have died. Of these deaths one was related to the surgical procedures. After the introduction of somatostatin analogues major surgery can be performed safely in these patients with little risk of carcinoid crises. The role of additional drug therapy in these rare patients must be evaluated critically in randomized multicenter trials using a common surgical primary treatment.
Selective recognition and extraction of arsenate by a urea-functionalized tripodal receptor from competitive aqueous media (2022)

A second-generation hydrogen bond donor (HBD) anion receptor with an inner amide cavity and an outer urea cavity can selectively and efficiently extract arsenate (AsO<sub>4</sub><sup>3-</sup>) from water in the presence of competitive oxoanions and halides. The X-ray structure showed encapsulation of AsO<sub>4</sub><sup>3-</sup> in a π-stacked dimeric capsular assembly of the receptor, the first crystallography-based example of pentavalent AsO<sub>4</sub><sup>3-</sup> trianion recognition by a HBD receptor.
Transmission of Force Sensation by Environment Quarrier Based on Multilateral Control (2007)

In recent years, realization of a haptic system has been strongly desired in the fields of medical treatment and expert's skill acquisition. The bandwidth of force sensing and friction compensation are very important problems for reproduction of vivid force sensation. In this paper, an environment quarrier is proposed for bilateral teleoperation instead of force sensors. The environment quarrier is a novel force-sensing method that consists of a twin robot system. Two of the same type of robot are required and they are controlled in the same position, velocity, and acceleration by bilateral acceleration control based on a disturbance observer. One robot is in contact motion and the other is unconstrained. The purity of external force is obtained by subtracting the disturbance torque in the unconstrained robot from the constrained one. The environment quarrier can observe the external force with high bandwidth and friction compensation. In this paper, the idea of multilateral control is introduced for attainment of simultaneity. Furthermore, this paper shows the controller design of the multilateral control in the modal space. The experimental results show the viability of the proposed method
Hetero‐Aggregate Compounds of Aryl and Alkyl Lithium Reagents: A Structurally Intriguing Aspect of Organolithium Chemistry (2005)

Organolithium compounds are often depicted as mononuclear species. However, such compounds are in fact aggregated species and can form hetero-aggregates containing different organic groups, including heteroatom groups. In reactions involving organolithium reagents, the "pure" homo-aggregate organolithium compound can change into a hetero-aggregate, which has a different structure and reactivity to the homo-aggregate. This fact is often overlooked. When there are chiral centers in the organolithium reagent or the substrate, diastereoselective self-assembly (the preferential formation of a particular diastereoisomeric aggregate) plays a role. The importance of these contributions in understanding the structure and reactivity patterns of organolithium reagents is the focus of this Minireview.
The Rolf of Test Chips in Coordinating Logic and Circuit Design and Layout Aids for VLSI (1981)

This paper emphasizes the need for multipurpose test chips and comprehensive procedures for use in supplying accurate input data to both logic and circuit simulators and chip layout aids. It is shown that the location of test structures within test chips is critical in obtaining representative data, because geometrical distortions introduced during the photomasking process can lead to&#13;\nsignificant intrachip parameter variations. In order to transfer test chip designs quickly, accurately, and economically, a commonly accepted portable chip layout notation and commonly accepted parametric tester language are needed. In order to measure test chips more accurately and more rapidly, parametric testers with improved architecture need to be developed in conjunction with&#13;\ninnovative test structures with on-chip signal conditioning.
