Fat Intake and Risk of Skin Cancer in U.S. Adults (2018)

<b>Background:</b> Fat intake has been associated with certain cancers, including colorectal, breast, and prostate cancers. However, literature on dietary fat and skin cancer has been limited.<b>Methods:</b> We examined the association between fat intake and risk of skin cancer including cutaneous malignant melanoma, squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), and basal cell carcinoma (BCC) within two prospective studies: the Nurses' Health Study (NHS) and the Health Professionals Follow-up Study (HPFS). Dietary information on total, saturated, monounsaturated, polyunsaturated, omega-6, and omega-3 fat and cholesterol was repeatedly assessed generally every 4 years. Incident cases were identified by self-report. Diagnosis on melanoma and SCC was confirmed by pathologic records.<b>Results:</b> A total of 794 melanoma, 2,223 SCC, and 17,556 BCC in the NHS (1984-2012) and 736 melanoma, 1,756 SCC, and 13,092 BCC in the HPFS (1986-2012) were documented. Higher polyunsaturated fat intake was associated with risk of SCC [pooled HR for highest vs. lowest quintiles, 1.16; 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.05-1.28; <i>P</i><sub>trend</sub>=0.001] and BCC (pooled HR, 1.06; 95% CI, 1.01-1.11; <i>P</i><sub>trend</sub>=0.01). Higher omega-6 fat intake was associated with risks of SCC, BCC, and melanoma. Omega-3 fat intake was associated with risk of BCC, but not with SCC or melanoma. No other fats were associated with melanoma risk. The associations were similar in women and men and by other skin cancer risk factors.<b>Conclusions:</b> Polyunsaturated fat intake was modestly associated with skin cancer risk.<b>Impact:</b> Further studies are needed to confirm our findings and to identify relevant biological mechanisms. <i>Cancer Epidemiol Biomarkers Prev; 27(7); 776-82. ©2018 AACR</i>.
A high-performance, memory-based interconnection system for multicomputer environments (1990)

The objective of this paper is to outline the design and operation of a very high-performance, memory-mapped interconnection system, called Merlin. The design can be effectively utilized to interconnect processors in a wide variety on environments, ranging from closely-coupled, dedicated systems to distributed workstations. The system provides a uniform approach to parallel programming which is independent of interconnection topology, processing elements, and languages. By using dynamically mapped reflective memory, the system can support selectively shared virtual memory regions. This approach permits user selected information to be shared at high speeds and with low latency. There is no software involvement in the actual sharing of information and the system overlaps computation and communication automatically, word-by-word, to the extent possible.
Comparative performance of PET tracers in biochemical recurrence of prostate cancer: a critical analysis of literature. (2004)

Positron emission tomography (PET) with a number of tracers targeted to particular biological features of cancer has been explored for the imaging evaluation of patients with biochemical recurrence of prostate cancer after curative primary treatment. However, these reports are often heterogeneous in study design, patient cohorts, standards of reference for the imaging findings, data analysis, and data reporting. The aim of our study was to address these limitations by extracting and re-analyzing the PET detection data only from studies that satisfied pre-defined sets of patient selection criteria and verification standards. Our investigation analyzed the effects of 5 tracers ((18)F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG), (11)C-acetate (ACET), (11)C- or (18)F-choline (CHOL), anti-1-amino-3-(18)F-fluorocyclobutane-1-carboxylic acid (FACBC), and radiolabeled ligand targeted to prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA)), 2 treatment types (radical prostatectomy and radiation therapy), and whether the detected disease was local or metastatic, including lesion type (bone, lymph node, soft tissue). FDG exhibited the lowest detection rate for any suspected disease. ACET tended to be advantageous over CHOL in detecting local recurrence and lymph node lesions, even though the difference was not statistically significant. FACBC had greater likelihood of detecting local recurrence, when compared to CHOL, though this difference was not statistically significant. PSMA tended to show a higher proportion of patients with suspected disease compared to the other four tracers. Patients treated with radiation therapy had greater odds of displaying local recurrence on PET than those treated with radical prostatectomy. We also provide suggestions for future investigations that facilitate communication and the impact of the findings.
Energy Efficient Data-Intensive Computing With Mapreduce (2013)

The influence of surface-bound Fe(II) on uranium oxidation state and speciation was studied as a function of time (6 min-72 h) and pH (6.1-8.5) in a U(VI)-Fe(II)-montmorillonite (Ca-montmorillonite, MONT) system under CO(2)-free, anoxic (O(2) <1 ppmv) conditions. The results show a rapid removal of U(VI) from the aqueous solution within 1 h under all pH conditions. U L(III)-edge X-ray absorption near-edge structure spectroscopy shows that 96% of the total sorbed U(VI) is reduced at pH 8.5. However, the extent of reduction significantly decreases at lower pH values as specifically sorbed Fe(II) concentration decreases. The reduction kinetics followed by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy during 24 h at pH 7.5 demonstrates the presence of partially reduced surface species containing U(VI) and U(IV). Thermodynamically predicted mixed valence solids like U(3)O(8)/beta-U(3)O(7)/U(4)O(9) do not precipitate as verified by transmission electron microscopy and extended X-ray absorption fine-structure spectroscopy. This is also supported by the bicarbonate extraction results. The measured redox potentials of Fe(II)/Fe(III)-MONT suspensions are controlled by the Fe(II)/hydrous ferric oxide [HFO(s)] couple at pH 6.2 and by the Fe(II)/lepidocrocite [gamma-FeOOH(s)] couple at pH 7.5. The key finding of our study is the formation of a sorbed molecular form of U(IV) in abiotic reduction of U(VI) by sorbed Fe(II) at the surface of montmorillonite.

Development and implementation of a system testing device for microfluidic devices (2007)

The microfluidic industry has seen tremendous growth over the last years and is&#13;\n&#13;\nexpecting further growth in the future. Polymer is the material of choice at the moment&#13;\n&#13;\nfor many applications and is being manufactured into microfluidic devices through&#13;\n&#13;\ninjection molding.&#13;\n&#13;\nThere is no established way of mass producing the mold inserts at the moment. Part of&#13;\n&#13;\nthe research conducted at SMA is aimed to explore options in powder injection molding&#13;\n&#13;\nas a quick and reliable process to mass produce mold inserts.&#13;\n&#13;\nDuring the research phase one needs a way to assess the quality of the new inserts and its&#13;\n&#13;\nsuitability to produce molds and microfluidic devices. This is currently achieved by&#13;\n&#13;\nmanufacturing the final microfluidic parts using the molds and measuring the properties&#13;\n&#13;\nof these parts using conventional metrology methods at the laboratory. These include&#13;\n&#13;\nmeasurements carried out with the optical profilometer and the scanning electron&#13;\n&#13;\nmicroscope.
Temperature effect on proliferation and differentiation of satellite cells from turkeys with different growth rates (2016)

Poultry selected for growth have an inefficient thermoregulatory system and are more sensitive to temperature extremes. Satellite cells are precursors to skeletal muscle and mediate all posthatch muscle growth. Their physiological functions are affected by temperature. The objective of the current study was to determine how temperature affects satellite cells isolated from the pectoralis major (p. major) muscle (breast muscle) of turkeys selected for increased 16 wk body weight (F line) in comparison to a randombred control line (RBC2) from which the F line originated. Pectoralis major muscle satellite cells were thermally challenged by culturing between 33°C and 43°C to analyze the effects of cold and heat on proliferation and differentiation as compared to control temperature of 38°C. Expression levels of myogenic regulatory factors: myogenic differentiation factor 1 (MYOD1) and myogenin (MYOG) were quantified by quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR). At all sampling times, proliferation increased at a linear rate across temperature in both the RBC2 and F lines. Differentiation also increased at a linear rate across temperature from 33 to 41°C at all sampling times in both the F and RBC2 lines. Satellite cells isolated from F line turkeys were more sensitive to both hot and cold temperatures as proliferation and differentiation increased to a greater extent across temperature (33 to 43°C) when compared with the RBC2 line. Expression of MYOD1 and MYOG increased as temperatures increased from 33 to 41°C at all sampling times in both the F and RBC2 lines. These results demonstrate that satellite cell function is sensitive to both cold and hot temperatures and p. major muscle satellite cells from F line turkeys are more sensitive to temperature extremes than RBC2 satellite cells.
Coupled multi‐scale cohesive modeling of failure in heterogeneous adhesives (2010)

Abstract A multi‐scale cohesive numerical framework is proposed to simulate the failure of heterogeneous adhesively bonded systems. This multi‐scale scheme is based on Hill's variational principle of energy equivalence between the higher and lower level scales. It provides an easy way to obtain accurate homogenized macroscopic properties while capturing the physics of failure processes at the micro‐scale in sufficient detail. We use an isotropic rate‐dependent damage model to mimic the failure response of the constituents of heterogeneous adhesives. The finite element method is used to solve the equilibrium equation at each scale. A nested iterative scheme inspired by the return mapping algorithm used in computational inelasticity is implemented. We propose a computationally attractive technique to couple the macro‐ and micro‐scales for rate‐dependent constitutive laws. We introduce an adhesive patch test to study the numerical performance, including spatial and temporal convergence of the multi‐scale scheme. We compare the solution of the multi‐scale cohesive scheme with a direct numerical simulation. Finally, we solve mode I and mode II fracture problems to demonstrate failure at the macro‐scale.

Highly effective free‐radical‐catalyzed curing of hyperbranched polycarbosilane for near stoichiometric SiC ceramics (2018)

Abstract Liquid hyperbranched polycarbosilane ( LHBPCS ) is an excellent preceramic polymer of SiC. Before thermolysis, curing of LHBPCS is favorable for higher ceramic yield and molding. In order to avoid some unfavorable factors arising from traditional thermal curing, we introduced a free‐radical initiator tert‐butyl peroxybenzoate ( TBPB ) to trigger the crosslinking of allyl group on LHBPCS in this study. FT ‐ IR , NMR and DSC measurements indicated only allyl group was consumed during the cross‐linking process. The cross‐linking reaction rate was monitored by a rotational rheometer, and results confirmed LHBPCS could be cured in 4 minutes with the help of 1 wt% TBPB at 80°C. TGA and SEM demonstrated the catalytic‐cured LHBPCS had a high ceramic yield of 79.0 wt% and dense structure. The effect of TBPB on crystallization behavior of the obtained SiC was also explored by XRD , and little impact was detected. After 1600°C thermolysis, a near stoichiometric and crystalline SiC with ceramic yield of 77.5 wt% was obtained.
New approaches for improving tenderness, quality, and consistency of beef (2000)

In an effort to increase U.S. domestic beef demand, beef industry leaders have recommended the development and implementation of Total Quality Management-like systems to enhance product quality and consistency. This review outlines the application of quality management practices and process control to improve tenderness and quality of beef. Adoption of a quality management philosophy for improvement of product quality requires a shift of focus from issues of greatest concern to producers to issues that are of greatest concern to consumers. Development of “alliances” and branded beef programs, in which producers maintain some share of ownership through the entire production/marketing chain helps shift producer focus to issues that are important to consumers, provides a clearer economic signal encouraging improvement of product quality, and provides an opportunity for the application of quality management principles to facilitate the improvement of beef quality. Application of a quality management system for improving beef tenderness and quality requires identification of “control points” and application of process control to prevent quality shortfalls, verification of conformance to specifications for tenderness/quality, and identification of methods for improving tenderness and quality attributes of nonconforming products. A prototype quality management system for ensuring beef tenderness is described. This prototype system involves four “control points” (genetic inputs, preslaughter cattle management, early postmortem management, and postmortem aging) at which inputs/processes are controlled to improve tenderness, a verification step based on a tenderness measurement obtained at 1 to 3 d postmortem, and the use of tenderization technologies to improve tenderness of nonconforming products. Application of the prototype system reduced the expected rate of nonconformance to tenderness specifications from about one in four, for both top sirloin steaks and strip loin steaks, to about 1 in 25 and 1 in 100 for top sirloin steaks and strip loin steaks, respectively. Use of process control in a quality management system may be an effective approach for improving the tenderness and quality of beef.
Improvement of Microwave Electric Field Measurement Sensitivity via Multi-Carrier Modulation in Rydberg Atoms (2020)

The microwave electric field intensity is precisely measured by the Autler–Townes splitting of electromagnetically induced transparency spectrum in a 5S1/2−5P3/2−57D5/2−58P3/2 four-level ladder-type 85Rb atomic system. A robust multi-carrier modulation scheme is employed to improve the spectral signal-to-noise ratio, which determines the optical readout of Rydberg atom-based microwave electrometry. As a result, a factor of 2 measurement sensitivity improvement is clearly achieved compared with the on resonant Autler–Townes splitting case credit to the advantage of matched filtering. This research paves the way for building a high sensitivity, portable sensor and offers a platform for achieving compact and sensitive receiver.
Machine Vision Detection of Early Split Pistachio Nuts (1996)

Computer vision was used to detect early split lesions on the hull of pistachio nuts. Gray scale intensity profiles were computed across the width of the nut (perpendicular to the suture along the longitudinal axis). If the profile crossed an early split lesion, a deep and narrow valley on the profile at the early split location was observed. Profiles were computed every 0.5 mm along the longitudinal axis of the nut and the number of adjacent profiles with deep and narrow valleys was recorded. Early split nuts contained a significantly higher count of these adjacent profiles than normal nuts. Combining unhulled nut cross-sectional area with the adjacent profile data, 100% of the early split nuts and 99% of the normal nuts were correctly classified of the total of 180 nuts tested.
Author response: Role of BRCA2 DNA-binding and C-terminal domain in its mobility and conformation in DNA repair (2021)

Highly conserved C-terminal domains of the tumor suppressor BRCA2 are not essential for accumulation at damaged DNA but affect conformation and cell survival, implying roles beyond delivering strand-exchange protein RAD51.

SiC JFET dc characteristics under extremely high ambient temperatures (2004)

This paper reports on the measured dc characteristics of a SiC JFET device from room temperature up to 450°C in order to evaluate the device's capability for high-temperature operation. The authors packaged SiC JFET bare die into a dedicated high-temperature package to be able to perform experiments under extremely high ambient temperatures. The experimental results show that the device can operate at 450°C, which is impossible for conventional Si devices, but the current capability of the SiC JFET diminishes with rising temperatures. For example, the saturation current becomes 20% at 450°C with respect to the value at the room temperature.
