Effect of trash on the coagulation and flocculation of sugarcane juice (2013)

The processing of juice expressed from whole green sugarcane crop (stalk and trash) leads to poor clarification performance, reduced sugar yield and poor raw sugar quality. The cause of these adverse effects is linked to the disproportionate contribution of impurities from the trash component of the crop. This paper reports on the zeta (ζ) potential, average size distribution (d50) and fractal dimension (Df) of limed juice particles derived from various juice types using laser diffraction and dynamic light scattering techniques. The influence of non-sucrose impurities on the interactive energy contributions between sugarcane juice particles was examined on the basis of Derjaguin-Landau-Verwey-Overbeek (DLVO) theory. Results from these investigations have provided evidence (in terms of particle stability) on why juice particles derived from whole green sugarcane crop are relatively difficult to coagulate (and flocculate). The presence of trash reduces the van der Waals forces of attraction between particles, thereby reducing coagulation and flocculation processes. It is anticipated that further fundamental work will lead to strategies that could be adopted for clarifying juices expressed from whole green sugarcane crop.

Contextual adaptation of the Personnel Evaluation Standards for assessing faculty evaluation systems in developing countries: the case of Iran (2009)

The adapted Personnel Evaluation Standards appears to be valid and applicable for monitoring and continuous improvement of a faculty evaluation system in the context of medical universities in Iran. The approach developed here provides a more balanced assessment of multiple faculty roles, including educational, clinical and healthcare services. In order to address identified deficiencies, the evaluation system should recognize, document, and uniformly reward those activities that are vital to the academic mission. Inclusion of personal developmental concerns in the evaluation discussion is essential for evaluation systems.
A cavity ring down/cavity enhanced absorption device for measurement of ambient NO 3 and N 2 O 5 (2008)

Abstract. An inexpensive, compact instrument for the sensitive measurement of NO3 and N2O5 in ambient air at high time resolution is described. Light from a red-emitting laser diode (≈662 nm) is coupled off-axis into an optical resonator defined by two highly reflective mirrors to achieve effective absorption paths exceeding 20 km. Light leaking from the cavity is detected either as single ring-down events over ≈200 μs following rapid switching of the laser intensity at 200 Hz (Cavity Ring Down mode), or as an integrated intensity (Cavity Enhanced Absorption mode). The operational conditions, detection limits and total uncertainty for the prototype device for NO3 and N2O5 detection/monitoring are assessed and the first measurements in ambient air and from an environmental chamber are described.
Non-radiating excitations, vector potential waves and toroidal metamaterials (2013)

A long chase for the elusive dynamic toroidal moments has been recently concluded by detecting a spectral signature of the toroidal dipolar resonance in the response of a specially designed electromagnetic metamaterial [1]. This observation brings up a new interest to the prediction made by Afanasiev and Stepanovsky in 1994 that a combination of oscillating toroidal and conventional electric dipoles forms a non-trivial non-radiating electromagnetic system producing gauge-irreducible waves of vector potential in absence of electric and magnetic fields [2]. Here we report the observation of extremely narrow transmission resonances in toroidal void metamaterials that result from the interference of its electric and toroidal dipolar response thus indicating the existence of such non-radiating system. Our results provide new evidence for the discussion on independent physical significance of vector-potential and its role as an independent information carrier.

Attenuation of Curved Structural Surfaces in PMUT Measurements (2021)

This work presents the attenuation effect due to the surface curvature for the ultrasound pulse-echo detection scheme. The magnitude of attenuation due to the curved surface is simulated and experimentally validated by a piezoelectric micromachined transducer (pMUT) array as a model with 39 × 39 elements and 3 mm × 3mm in size made of 1 µm-thick A1N piezoelectric layer, and 5 urn-thick Si elastic layer. Experimental validations have been conducted to measure the diameter variations of silicone tubes with different diameters in the mineral oil environment to mimic the acoustic properties of the human tissue and blood vessel. Under an applied voltage of 12 V, three sine cycles of 1–10 MHz frequency are emitted and the echo signals from tubes with diameters 2 to 12 mm at a distance of 25 mm are captured. The measured and simulated attenuation is around 7dB for those surfaces to emulate arteries and veins for applications in blood pressure measurements. These results help both the design and analysis of ultrasound detections by pMUTs encountering non-flat surfaces both qualitatively and quantitatively for various applications.
Anti-cancer Activity of Novel TM4SF5-Targeting Antibodies through TM4SF5 Neutralization and Immune Cell-Mediated Cytotoxicity (2017)

The transmembrane four L6 family member 5 (TM4SF5) protein is a novel molecular target for the prevention and treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma. TM4SF5 is highly expressed in liver, colon, esophageal, and pancreatic cancers and is implicated in tumor progression. Here, we screened monoclonal antibodies that specifically bound to the extracellular loop 2 (EC2) of TM4SF5 from a phage-displayed murine antibody (single-chain variable fragment; scFv) library. We constructed and characterized chimeric antibodies, Ab27 and Ab79, of scFv fused with Fc domain of human IgG1. The affinity (K<sub>D</sub>) of Ab27 and Ab79 for soluble EC2 was approximately 9.2 nM and 16.9 nM, respectively, as determined by surface plasmon resonance analysis. Ab27 and Ab79 efficiently bound to native TM4SF5 on the cell surface were internalized into the cancer cells, leading to a decrease in cell surface TM4SF5. Ab27 and Ab79 inhibited the proliferation and invasion of TM4SF5-positive liver and colon cancer cells and reduced FAK and c-Src phosphorylation. Ab27 and Ab79 also enhanced anoikis sensitivity and reduced survivin. Ab27 mediated antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity <i>in vitro</i>. Ab27 and Ab79 efficiently inhibited tumor growth in a liver cancer xenograft model. These results strongly support the further development of Ab27 as a novel anti-cancer agent in the clinic.

Safety and toxicologic evaluation of Edible Pongamia Oil: A novel food ingredient (2022)

Edible Pongamia Oil (EPO) was evaluated in an acute oral toxicity study, GLP 14-Day and 90-Day repeated dose isocaloric dietary toxicity studies in rats, and in vitro Bacterial Reverse Mutation, and in vivo Mammalian Bone Marrow Chromosome Aberration genotoxicity studies for potential use as a food ingredient. In a non-GLP acute study, an LD<sub>50</sub> > 5000 mg/kg was determined. Subacute 14-day repeated dose dietary administration of 0, 5, 10 and 15% oil revealed no adverse changes in clinical pathology, liver histology, body weight or weight gain, food consumption or food efficiency. In a 90-day dietary study fed 0, 2.5, 5.0, 7.5 and 10.0%, no mortalities, clinical or ophthalmologic signs, body weight, body weight gain, food consumption, food efficiency or Functional Observational Battery/Motor Activity changes occurred with EPO consumption, nor were there any adverse changes in hematology, clinical chemistry, coagulation, urinalysis, or thyroid hormone values. There were no adverse macroscopic, estrus cycle, histopathologic or spermatogenesis findings, or absolute or relative organ weight changes related to administration of EPO. The No-Adverse-Effect-Level (NOAEL) was 10% in the diet, the highest dose tested, equivalent to 5163 (male) and 6469 (female) mg/kg/day in rats. No mutagenic or clastogenic genotoxic potential was reported.

Physiology and Pathology of Calcium Signaling in the Brain (2012)

Calcium (Ca(2+)) plays fundamental and diversified roles in neuronal plasticity. As second messenger of many signaling pathways, Ca(2+) as been shown to regulate neuronal gene expression, energy production, membrane excitability, synaptogenesis, synaptic transmission, and other processes underlying learning and memory and cell survival. The flexibility of Ca(2+) signaling is achieved by modifying cytosolic Ca(2+) concentrations via regulated opening of plasma membrane and subcellular Ca(2+) sensitive channels. The spatiotemporal patterns of intracellular Ca(2+) signals, and the ultimate cellular biological outcome, are also dependent upon termination mechanism, such as Ca(2+) buffering, extracellular extrusion, and intra-organelle sequestration. Because of the central role played by Ca(2+) in neuronal physiology, it is not surprising that even modest impairments of Ca(2+) homeostasis result in profound functional alterations. Despite their heterogeneous etiology neurodegenerative disorders, as well as the healthy aging process, are all characterized by disruption of Ca(2+) homeostasis and signaling. In this review we provide an overview of the main types of neuronal Ca(2+) channels and their role in neuronal plasticity. We will also discuss the participation of Ca(2+) signaling in neuronal aging and degeneration.
Plasma melatonin in the horse: Measurements in natural photoperiod and in acutely extended darkness throughout the year (1995)

Plasma melatonin was measured at the winter and summer solstices and the autumn and spring equinoxes in four mares held under natural conditions at 35 degrees S. At all seasons the onset of the nightly elevated melatonin was coincident with or after the time of sunset and the melatonin offset after the time of sunrise. The duration of elevated melatonin was not different from the duration of natural scotophase for each season, with the duration of elevated melatonin longer in winter than the other seasons. Immediately following each 24 hr sampling two mares were resampled in acutely extended darkness to determine the melatonin profile of the endogenous rhythm of the circadian pacemaker, originating from the suprachiasmatic nuclei (SCN). At each season melatonin secretion commenced earlier and decreased later than that measured under the natural photoperiodic condition, suggesting that the expression of the melatonin rhythm is normally gated by natural environmental light both at dusk and dawn. The interval from the onset of melatonin measured under acutely extended darkness to the time of sunset was greater in the spring/summer than the autumn/winter suggesting a possible alternating signal throughout the year. Thus the mare appears to exhibit a similar interaction between endogenous circadian rhythmic activity and the natural photoperiod as the ewe which may underlie the mechanism for timing reproductive activity through the year.

DNA separation by microchip electrophoresis using low-viscosity hydroxypropylmethylcellulose-50 solutions enhanced by polyhydroxy compounds (2002)

Low-viscosity polymer solutions have potential for double-stranded (ds) DNA separations in micrototal analysis systems (ν-TAS). In this paper, we report dilute, low-viscosity hydroxypropylmethylcellulose-50 (HPMC-50, 11.5 kDa) solutions containing polyhydroxy additives as separation media. Predominant operational variables, such as applied electric field strength, fluorescent intercalator (YOPro-1) concentration, polymer concentration, and additive concentration, are thoroughly investigated. Fast (within 170 s) and excellent separation of DNA restriction fragments ranging in size from 72 to 1353 base pairs (bp) is achieved in a 30 mm length channel of polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) microchips at an electric field strength of 300 V/cm, by introducing 8% mannitol, 8% glucose or 10% glycerol additives into a 2% HPMC-50 / 1×Tris-borate-EDTA (TBE) solution. The low-viscosity (40 cP) matrix formulation provides both coating of the microchannels and separation of DNA in one step. The performance in the solution surpasses that in highly concentrated HPMC-50 solution. In addition, separation using 1×Tris-EDTA buffer in the 2% HPMC-50 matrix containing polyhydroxy additives also exhibits a notably increased performance. This is presumably due to formation of hydrogen-bonding interactions of polyhydroxy additives with HPMC-50 matrix and DNA so as to increase the coupling interactions between matrix and DNA molecules during electrophoresis. The result reflects that boric acid is not a prerequisite in polyhydroxy-enhanced HPMC-50 solution for separation.
Contamination removal from EUV multilayer using atomic hydrogen generated by heated catalyzer (2005)

A rapid, damage-free method of removing carbon contamination from EUV multilayer has been developed that employs atomic hydrogen generated by a heated catalyzer consisting of a W wire. Test samples were prepared by contaminating Mo/Si multilayers with carbon using EB or synchrotron radiation (SR). The insertion of a thermal shield between the catalyzer and a sample prevented radiant heat from the catalyzer from damaging the sample during cleaning. Ex situ XPS measurements and measurements of the thickness of the carbon layer with optical thickness measurement systems showed that the new treatment completely removes carbon from multilayers. The EUV reflectivity of multilayers was measured before and after cleaning to assess any resulting damage. It was found that cleaning changed the reflectivity and the centroid wavelength only marginally, within the measurement error.
Towards Context-Aware Service-Oriented Semantic Reputation Framework (2011)

Reputation has been explored in diverse disciplines such as artificial intelligence, electronic commerce, peer-to-peer network, and multi-agent systems. Recently it has been a vital component for ensuring trust in web services and service oriented architecture domains. In this paper, we show details about our context-aware reputation framework. The framework is based on our semantic representation model for reputation called Reputation Object (RO) model. We discuss the advantages and propositions to construct such framework, its components, and how it is implemented. The importance of developing and using such generic reputation framework is highlighted within the emergence of the Semantic Web and service oriented architecture.
A comparison of fundamental model-based and multiple model predictive control (2003)

A multiple model strategy is implemented in a model predictive control framework. The model bank design requires minimal plant knowledge based on the ranges of gains, dominant time constants and time delays. The application example is the isothermal Van de Vusse reaction in a continuous stirred tank reactor, which exhibits challenging input multiplicity behavior. Disturbances include additive input and output noises and changes in system parameters. Results are compared with an extended Kalman filter (EKF)-based model predictive controller that uses a fundamental model with a disturbance parameter estimated online. The multiple model predictive controller performance is comparable to that demonstrated by the EKF-based model predictive controller.
An Efficient Power Management Method For IoT Devices of Moving Network (2020)

Recently, various machine type communication (MTC) has been used in various fields of 4G and 5G mobile communication. Besides, IoT devices used in moving network environments need to be highly available and have excellent battery efficiency. Among them, the IoT device, which is used for measurement and notification, intermittently transmits a small amount of data. The MTC with this characteristic has a small signal overhead for establishing an RRC connection, including a random access (RA) process for transmitting and receiving data. This paper proposes a method to reduce the overhead presented above. For a device having a characteristic of transmitting and receiving a small amount of data periodically and periodically, we propose a method of maintaining a bearer fluidly by setting up a dedicated bearer. It has the effect of sending and receiving data through a bearer that remains fluid without the latency and power consumption of the whole procedure. Even in the device with characteristics, we propose an idea by analyzing various scenarios according to the data transmission environment so that various devices can be applied comprehensively.
Changes in Clinical Context for Kaposi's Sarcoma and Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma Among People With HIV Infection in the United States (2020)

The biology of HIV-associated cancers may differ depending on immunologic and virologic context during development. Therefore, an understanding of the burden of Kaposi's sarcoma (KS) and non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) relative to antiretroviral therapy (ART), virologic suppression, and CD4 count is important.
