Study of the Potentiality of Using Three Raw Materials from Burkina Faso in Porcelain Formulations (2022)

Porcelain is a ceramic product formulate from a typical triaxial mixture: clay and kaolin; quartz; feldspar. The use of three mineral materials from Burkina Faso in the formulation of porcelains has been studied. The characterization results showed that the clay «&nbsp;NONG&nbsp;» contains kaolinite (62%), illite (18%), quartz (17%) and rutile (1%). The pegmatite «&nbsp;PEG&nbsp;» contains albite (17%), muscovite (44%) and quartz (34%). The sand «&nbsp;SAB&nbsp;» is mainly composed of quartz. Formulation of traditional hard porcelain generally requires 50% kaolin, 25% silica and 25% feldspar. Some samples were shaped by casting into porous molds and sintered at temperatures ranging from 1200 °C to 1300°C. During firing, clay «&nbsp;NONG&nbsp;» has a role in mullite recrystallization and the formation of a vitreous phase. «&nbsp;PEG&nbsp;» contributes to the quantity and behavior of the liquid phase at temperatures above 1050 °C. It contributes to taking control of sintering process, allowing a virtually zero (&lt;0.5%) open porosity. «&nbsp;SAB&nbsp;» promotes thermal and dimensional stability thanks to its high melting point and is involved in recrystallization processes and liquid phase behavior. XRD of all specimens shows that it composed amorphous, mullite and quartz phases. Characterization of the specimens sintered at 1250 °C evidenced interesting results: a density ranging from 2.3 to 2.5; a water absorption below 0.5%; an open porosity of less than 1%; a flexural strength above 35 MPa. Consequently, materials fired above this temperature are closely related to the porcelain group.
Thread City: Combined Visualization of Structure and Activity for the Exploration of Multi-threaded Software Systems (2015)

This paper presents a novel visualization technique for the interactive exploration of multi-threaded software systems. It combines the visualization of static system structure based on the Evo Streets approach with an additional traffic metaphor to communicate the runtime characteristics of multiple threads simultaneously. To improve visual scalability with respect to the visualization of complex software systems, we further present an effective level-of-detail visualization based on hierarchical aggregation of system components by taking viewing parameters into account. We demonstrate our technique by means of a prototypical implementation and compare our result with existing visualization techniques.
Multiview radial catadioptric imaging for scene capture (2006)

In this paper, we present a class of imaging systems, called radial imaging systems , that capture a scene from a large number of view-points within a single image, using a camera and a curved mirror. These systems can recover scene properties such as geometry, reflectance, and texture. We derive analytic expressions that describe the properties of a complete family of radial imaging systems, including their loci of viewpoints, fields of view, and resolution characteristics. We have built radial imaging systems that, from a single image, recover the frontal 3D structure of an object, generate the complete texture map of a convex object, and estimate the parameters of an analytic BRDF model for an isotropic material. In addition, one of our systems can recover the complete geometry of a convex object by capturing only two images. These results show that radial imaging systems are simple, effective, and convenient devices for a wide range of applications in computer graphics and computer vision.

CO2 as a C1-building block for the catalytic methylation of amines (2013)

A novel catalytic reaction has been designed to utilize, for the first time, CO2 as a C1 feedstock in the synthesis of N-methylamines. Simple zinc catalysts, based on commercially available zinc salts and ligands, prove highly efficient in promoting both a 6 electron reduction of carbon dioxide and the formation of a C–N bond, using hydrosilanes and amines.
Cobalt(III) Polyamine Complexes as Catalysts for the Hydrolysis of Phosphate Esters and of DNA. A Measurable 10 Million-Fold Rate Increase1 (1997)

Complexes between cobalt(III) and eight different 1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane (cyclen) as well as two tris(3-aminopropyl)amine (trpn) derivatives are reported with varying numbers and structures of peralkylammonium groups in side chains of the ligands. The presence of additional positive charges has small effects on hydrolysis rates of nitrophenyl- and bis(nitrophenyl)phosphate esters but leads to substantially enhanced cleavage of plasmid DNA. Increasing the number of the charged side groups and/or their distance to the metal ion center provides for better binding to the DNA groove, as shown also by affinity measurements with calf-thymus DNA. In line with this, saturation kinetics of plasmid DNA cleavage yield a corresponding increase of efficiency in Michaelis−Menten-type KM values, with rather constant kcat parameters. A binuclear cobalt complex with two cyclen centers separated by a −(CH2)6-N+(CH3)2-(CH2)6-N+(CH3)2-(CH2)6− spacer shows, with only 5 × 10-5 M catalyst concentration, the largest known rate enhancement factor of >107 (corresponding to >1011 at 1 M) against DNA; incubation with 0.05 mM at 37 °C for only 2 h leads to almost complete cleavage without appearance of products typical for redox cleavage. These results are in contrast to experiments with corresponding copper(II) complexes with added hydrogen peroxide, which has no effect with corresponding Co, Zn, Cd, or Ni complexes.
Fabrication of transparent metal mesh electrode by using silver-metal oxide nanoparticles for application to touch screen panel (2017)

In this work core-shell type Ag-metal oxide particles were synthesized by coating of Ag metal on the surface of SiO2, ZnO and TiO2 particles utilizing alkylamine silver complex as Ag source. The resulting Ag-SiO2, Ag-ZnO and Ag-TiO2 nano particles were used to make Ag-metal oxide paste with the epoxy resin as binder polymer, ethylcarbitol acetate as solvent and polymeric wetting agent as rheological additive. The micron sized trench pattern was fabricated on polyethylene terephthalate(PET) film by UV imprinting method utilizing the mold with embossed trench layer pattern. The nano-sized silver paste was filled into trench layer patterned on PET film by using a screen printer type filling machine. The silver metal mesh transparent conducting electrode touch sensor showed high visible light transmittance(∼90%) and low resitivity of 3.6 × 10−4 Ωcm required in the practical applications.

Abstract 4567: Polyubiquitin K63-related CD137 signalsomes in T cells stimulated with agonist anti-CD137 monoclonal antibodies (2011)

Abstract Agonist anti-CD137 monoclonal antibodies are employed to enhance CD8-mediated antitumor immunity both in mouse models and in clinical trials. A panel of agonist anti-human CD137 mAb was prepared recognizing three different epitopes on the CD137 surface glycoprotein. All mAb costimulated T cell activation irrespectively of interference or not with natural ligand-binding. Interestingly, CD137 perturbation with agonist mAb results in internalization towards a vesicular endosomal compartment derived from the plasma membrane. Such internalization was observed on CD137 transfectants in 293 cellsas well as on primary activated T cells from humans and mice. In vivo treatment with anti-CD137 mAb of immunodeficient mice harboring activated human or mouse T cells results in internalization of CD137 to this vesicular compartment. CD137 is known to associate with TRAF2 at the plasma membrane. TRAF-2 is an adaptor protein endowed with E3 ubiquitin ligase activity that synthesizes k63-polyubiquitin chains. K63 polyubiquitin, as opposed to K48 polyubiquitin, constitute a docking site for downtream signaling proteins that lead to NF-kB and AP-1 activation. CD137 vesicles are decorated with k63-polyubiquitin and CD137 stimulation leads to the formation of K63-polyub containing complexes. Therefore CD137 stimulation under therapy like conditions with mAbs leads to the assembly of an intracellular signaling compartment that we term as CD137 -signalsomes Citation Format: {Authors}. {Abstract title} [abstract].

Abstract 556: Deficiency of Probhitin-1 in Hepatocytes Alters Systemic Glucose Regulation (2020)

Prohibitins 1 and 2 (PHB1 and PHB2) are lipid raft proteins that form a hetero-oligomeric complex known to localize to the cytoplasmic, nuclear, and mitochondrial membranes. These complexes play important roles in pro-survival and metabolic decisions including inflammation. PHB1 is important for mitochondria biogenesis and function and is excreted into the serum. Mice challenged with an intraperitoneal injection of lipopolysaccharide (LPS), a treatment that normally results in decreased cardiac function, show increased serum PHB. Injection of recombinant PHB1 (rPHB1) following LPS injection can rescue cardiac function. Work in our lab with cultured cardiomyocytes and multiple rodent models of severe sepsis supports the hypothesis that PHB1 is a liver-derived acute phase protein. To test this hypothesis, we utilized AAV- Cre recombinase infection driven by human thyroid hormone-binding globulin (TBG), a liver specific promotor (AAV8-TBG-iCre), on our PHB1 floxed mice (PHB1 fl/fl ). This liver specific knockdown of PHB1 allowed us to look at PHB1 levels in the serum of unstressed PHB1 fl/fl mice. We discovered a loss of PHB1 in the liver tissue of floxed mice and significantly lower serum levels of PHB was found in homozygotes compared to wild types. Additionally, mice with liver specific loss of PHB1 show metabolic changes including significant weight loss three weeks following injection and changes to body composition and a trend of decreases in brown fat and inguinal fat mass. In addition to these body changes, we found that liver specific loss resulted in sexual dimorphism in insulin sensitivity. Homozygous males showed a significant difference in their ability to clear glucose following a glucose challenge in a glucose tolerance test. However, following an insulin tolerance test, female homozygotes showed increased insulin sensitivity where males did not. Both males and females show a trend towards attenuated gluconeogenesis following a pyruvate tolerance test. Overall, we have begun to characterize novel findings to the metabolic state of mice lacking PHB1 only in the liver. Our aim is to further explore if these differences are due to the changes in liver PHB1 or due to changes in circulating serum PHB1.

A real-time vision for intelligent vehicles (2002)

This paper presents a real-time vision system as a tool of developing robust vision algorithms. Our goal is to develop robust vision algorithms for complex scenes, such as city streets, and for various outside conditions, such as weather, lighting and shading. Since no ordinary computer has enough computational ability for developing vision algorithms efficiently, the system has been developed in the form of compact image processing hardware. We have developed special hardware modules for extracting image features, namely edge segments, depth from stereoscopic and optical flow. A high speed template matching hardware module has been also developed for detecting and tracking objects. Each hardware consists of one or two 6U format VMEbus compatible boards and operates at a video rate due to the pipeline architecture. Experiments have been done on this vision system as follows: road following from edge segments, moving objects detection from optical flow on the images of moving camera, obstacle detection from depth map based on stereoscopic and tracking preceding vehicles by a template matching method. The results obtained are found to be encouraging, indicating that the vision system is useful for developing vision algorithms and that the algorithms based on a part of the proposed ideas are robust for recognition of complex road environment.
Periodic Incorporation of Pendant Hydroxyl Groups in Repeating Sequence PLGA Copolymers (2010)

A series of repeating sequence poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) copolymers (RSC PLGAs) has been prepared with the precise incorporation of a pendant benzyl-ether substituted monomer derived from serine. Copolymers were synthesized from the assembly of sequence-specific, stereopure dimeric, and trimeric segmers of lactic, glycolic, and (S)-3-benzyloxy-2-hydroxypropionic acids with controlled and varied tacticities. Deprotection of the hydroxyl groups was accomplished by catalytic hydrogenolysis to yield highly functionialized, hydrophilic polyesters. The (1)H and (13)C NMR spectra for all of the copolymers were consistent with sequence and stereochemical retention and lacked the signal broadening that is inherent with more random copolymers.
Relationship Between Vitamin B 12 and Sensory and Motor Peripheral Nerve Function in Older Adults (2012)

Poor B12 (deficient B12 status and low serum B12) is associated with worse sensory and motor peripheral nerve function. Nerve function impairments may lead to physical function declines and disability in older adults, suggesting that prevention and treatment of low B12 levels may be important to evaluate.
Optical packet routing in IP-over-WDM networks deploying two-level optical labeling (2002)

CD8+ T cells regulate tumor ferroptosis by targeting the system xc− during cancer immunotherapy (2019)

Abstract Cytotoxic T cells recognize specific antigens expressed on tumor cells and mediate tumor cell apoptosis mainly through perforin–granzyme-mediated and FAS-mediated pathways. Ferroptosis is a recently discovered form of cell death that differs from apoptosis and results from iron-dependent lipid peroxide accumulation. The potential contribution of CD8+ T cell-mediated cytotoxic activity and immunotherapy to tumor ferroptosis remains unknown. Here, we find that immunotherapy-activated CD8+ T cells sensitize tumor cell ferroptosis. Mechanistically, IFNγ released from CD8+ T cells downregulates expression of SLC3A2 and SLC7A11, two subunits of glutamate-cystine antiporter system xc−, restrains tumor cell cystine uptake, and as a consequence, promotes tumor cell lipid peroxidation and ferroptosis. In preclinical models, depletion of cyst(e)ine by cyst(e)inase in combination with checkpoint blockade synergistically enhances T cell-mediated anti-tumor immunity and induces tumor cell ferroptosis. Expression of glutamate-cystine antiporter system xc− is negatively associated with CD8+ T cell signature, IFNγ expression, and cancer patient outcome. Transcriptome analyses before and during nivolumab therapy reveal that clinical benefits correlate with reduced expression of SLC3A2 and increased IFNγ and CD8. Thus, T cell-promoted tumor ferroptosis is a novel anti-tumor mechanism. Targeting tumor ferroptosis pathway constitutes a therapeutic approach in combination with checkpoint blockade.

Dilution Ratio and Particle Loss Performance of a Newly Developed Ejector Porous Tube Diluter Compared to a Commercial Diluter (2020)

In this study, a new ejector-porous tube diluter was developed to accurately in situ measure particulate matter at the source, e.g., emissions at coal-fired power plants, and its dilution ratio and particle loss were compared to those of a commercial model. Whereas commercial models supply air to the porous tube diluter (PRD) using a high-pressure compressor, our device replaces the latter with a ring blower, thereby decreasing the power consumption for the same airflow rate. As a demonstration, particle size volume distributions of fly ash at a coal-fired power plant stack were determined for different dilution ratios. PRD flow rates of 10 and 20 L min–1 for the commercial diluter produced ~2-µm particle volume concentrations of 382 and 572 µm3 cm–3, respectively, from an initial (undiluted) volume concentration of 756 µm3 cm–3. However, PRD flow rates of 10 and 30 L min–1 for the developed device produced ~2-µm particle volume concentrations of 506 and 500 µm3 cm–3, respectively, from an initial volume concentration of 532 µm3 cm–3. These particle loss rates were confirmed through field testing.
The use of sound recording and oxygen saturation in screening snorers for obstructive sleep apnoea (1994)

It is desirable to screen snoring patients for obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) prior to surgical treatment. We postulated that the addition of a sound profile would increase the value of overnight oxygen saturation (SaO2) as a screening method. Thirty-nine polysomnographic studies including sound level measured by calibrated meter were performed on snorers being considered for uvulopalato-pharyngoplasty (UPPP). Polysomnography showed an apnoea/hypopnoea index (AHI) > or = 15 per hour of sleep in seven subjects. Two experienced observers independently, without knowledge of other data, classified paper records of SaO2 alone and SaO2 plus sound level obtained during polysomnography as OSA 'unlikely', 'equivocal' or 'definite'. The addition of sound to SaO2 reduced the number of equivocal results from 14 to six and increased the number classified as 'definite' or 'unlikely'. The sensitivity of oximetry +/- sound increased as the threshold AHI used in the definition of OSA increased; addition of sound improved recognition of mild OSA without impairing specificity.
Cardiovascular Disease: Monocyte‐Targeting Supramolecular Micellar Assemblies: A Molecular Diagnostic Tool for Atherosclerosis (Adv. Healthcare Mater. 3/2015) (2015)

Current diagnostic imaging tools cannot differentiate lethal plaques in atherosclerosis, and are not sensitive enough for preventive medicine. On page 367 M. Tirrell and co-workers present monocyte-targeting, peptide amphiphile micelles as a new class of diagnostic agents for molecular imaging capable of discriminating between varying stages of atherosclerosis. Bio-distribution and clearance mechanisms are investigated in vivo. Cover image by Peter Allen.
Coating-free reflection technique for fiber-optic sensors based on multimode interference: A temperature sensing study (2016)

Abstract A novel reflection technique for use in fiber-optic sensors is investigated and applied to a multimode interference structure. The reflectivity at a fiber end face is increased with two operations. Firstly, the light intensity is increased toward the periphery of the end-face by adjusting the fiber length, which is determined theoretically. Secondly, the fiber end-face is deformed into an ellipsoid by heating it with a gas torch. The deformed shape is characterized from microscopic images. The reflected light intensity is increased by more than 10 dB as a result of controlling the fiber length and deforming its end-face. Temperature sensing was performed using the reflection-type multimode interference structure immersed in temperature-controlled silicone oil. The resulting sensitivity was 0.028 °C for a 29.60 mm sensing region, achieved without using any reflection coating.
