Determination of the degree of cure under dynamic and isothermal curing conditions with electrical impedance spectroscopy (2003)

Abstract This article presents a new methodology for the quantitative determination of the progress of the curing reaction of a thermosetting resin, using the results of electrical impedance spectroscopy. The method is an extension of the use of the imaginary impedance maximum as a reaction progress indicator and is based on the demonstration of a close correlation between the reaction rate, as measured by conventional differential scanning calorimetry, and the rate of change of the value of the imaginary impedance spectrum maximum. Tests on a commercial aerospace epoxy resin under both isothermal and dynamic heating conditions with calorimetry and impedance spectroscopy have demonstrated the validity of the method and set the accuracy limits involved. This technique can be used as a real‐time online control tool for thermoset composite manufacturing. © 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Polym Sci Part B: Polym Phys 42: 146–154, 2004

A review of passive filters for grid-connected voltage source converters (2014)

LCL filter is the common interface between the Pulse Width Modulated Voltage Source Converter (PWM VSC) and the utility grid due to high harmonic attenuation capability and reduced size of the passive elements. The present paper investigates the most promising passive damping methods for the LCL topology but also propose an overview of high order filters capable to offer even more attenuation than the LCL filter at a reduced size. This is the case of more recently introduced LCL topology with tuned traps. However, it is shown that by decreasing the size of the passive elements the robustness of the filter also is decreased. Thus, a comparison of the filter features including the robustness towards grid impedance variation, harmonic attenuation capability and losses in the damping circuit became interesting from a practical implementation point of view. The design of the proposed filters is validated by simulation and experimental results and covers two scenarios: high and low/medium power applications.
INNOVATIONS FORUM: Application of Extrusion for Manufacture of Short Fiber Reinforced Cementitious Composite (1998)

To improve the performance of the short fiber reinforced cement-based (FRC) materials without losing its merits, researchers started to look for some new manufacture methods. The advantages of the extrusion technique made it a strong candidate, and a few pioneer institutions have studied the feasibility of application of the extrusion technique in the manufacture of short FRC materials. The composites manufactured by this method show a great improvement in both strength and toughness as compared with the FRC composites made by traditional casting methods. This improvement can be attributed to the achievement of low porosity and good interfacial bond under high shear and compressive stress during the extrusion process. The extrusion technique also enables the manufacturers to form intractable materials into desirable shapes with minimal liquid addition, which is critical in developing high-strength cement-based composites.
<title>NiO coating for smart window application by reaction flash evaporation of nickel</title> (1996)

The technical feature of NiO coating produced by reaction flash evaporation of nickel is reported in this paper. The experimental result indicates that the integrated transmittance changes in value between colored and bleached state are 63.3% and 46.9% for a system of G/ITO/NiO<SUB>x</SUB> in 2M KOH solution related with VIS and solar spectrum (AMI.5) respectively. It also exhibits fine control range of transmittance in NIR. In fact, electrochromic coating is comparable with NiO by radio frequency sputtering and electron beam reactive evaporation for smart window application about coloration efficiency, deposition rate and EC response. The all solid state EC devices have been produced through reaction flash evaporation NiO<SUB>x</SUB> coating combined with WO<SUB>3</SUB> coating and lithiated inorganic electrolyte. They exhibit a fine change range of VIS integrated transmittance over 52%. In this paper, the electrochromic mechanism of NiO<SUB>x</SUB> coating is also discussed.

Soft handover gains in a fast power controlled WCDMA uplink (2003)

The scope of this paper is to demonstrate the impact of the soft handover on the WCDMA network performance. The gains from the selection combining and increased diversity in uplink soft handover of a WCDMA system have been studied with the help of link level simulations. Two base stations have been included in the simulation model. The average required transmitted and received E/sub b//I/sub 0/ ensuring the desired quality has been measured as a function of the level difference between the two base stations. This has been done for two multipath propagation channels and several mobile station (MS) speeds. In addition, the paper discusses how the soft handover reduces the required power control headroom near the cell edge.
Adeno‐Associated Virus Rep78 Binds to E2‐Responsive Element 1 of Bovine Papillomavirus Type 1 (1999)

Adeno-associated virus type-2 (AAV-2) is a helper-dependent parvovirus that has been implicated in the inhibition of replication and oncogenic transformation of bovine papillomavirus type-1 (BPV-1) and other transforming DNA viruses. Previous studies have suggested that the Rep78 protein of AAV-2 is a key player mediating this effect. In this report we have analyzed the effect of AAV-2 Rep78 protein on the regulation of gene expression of a reporter gene under the control of the long control region (LCR) of BPV-1. Our results show that Rep78 is capable of down-regulating the promoter activity of the LCR in vivo in tissue culture cells. Inhibition of LCR activity in vivo suggested the need for Rep78 to bind to a region of the LCR promoter spanning the E2-responsive elements of BPV-1. This observation was further confirmed in vitro with gel shift assays showing specific binding of Rep78 to DNA oligonucleotides containing E2-responsive element 1 (E2RE1) sequences of BPV-1 LCR. Our results expand the understanding of the mechanism of trans-regulation mediated by Rep78 and involving this protein and DNA sequences with complex secondary structure.

Monolithic crossbar MEMS switch matrix (2008)

This paper presents a novel approach to implement RF MEMS large size switch matrices. The concept is based on the implementation of a crossbar switch matrix and the introduction of unique switch cells that can be easily used to expand the matrix size. A six-mask fabrication process is adapted to fabricate the proposed four-port switch cell as well as the switch matrix samples. The switch cell has two operational states: thru and turn. This allows the cell to be easily integrated in the form of a crossbar switch matrix. Novel series contact cantilever beams have been used to implement the entire structure. The measured results for the entire switch cell show excellent insertion loss of 0.5dB, return loss of better than −20dB and isolation of −25dB for the thru path. The turn state of the switch shows a good performance of 0.4dB insertion loss, −18dB return loss and better than −25dB isolation for the frequency band of interest. A 3×3 switch matrix is implemented that shows 98% size reduction in comparison with the previously reported RF MEMS switch matrices.
Recognition and Application of Infrared Thermal Image Among Power Facilities Based on YOLO (2019)

This paper researches the infrared thermal image recognition and application of power facilities based on YOLO neural network. The preliminary work includes the construction of the power facilities data set, and the preprocessing of the photo noise reduction. After sending the infrared thermal image to the YOLO neural network, the system uses the Bounding Box to crop out all possible electrical equipment and names the device. Then a nonlinear least squares curve is used to measure the highest temperature of the device. Testing on different devices such as Combine Filter, Porcelain Sleeve and Isolation Switch shows that the system can accurately and stably identify power facilities. The least squares curve can accurately locate the highest temperature of the device. The system can effectively reduce labor costs and achieve high recognition accuracy.
Mapping Metabolic Brain Activation during Human Volitional Swallowing: A Positron Emission Tomography Study Using [18F]fluorodeoxyglucose (2005)

We have previously shown that labelled water positron emission tomography (H2(15)O PET) can be used to identify regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF) changes in the human brain during volitional swallowing. (18F) fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG PET), by comparison, uses a glucose analogue to quantitatively measure regional cerebral glucose metabolism (rCMRglc) rather than rCBF. The main advantage of FDG PET is improved spatial resolution, and because of its pharmacodynamic properties, activation can be performed external to the scanner, allowing subjects to assume more physiologic positions. We therefore conducted a study of the brain's metabolic response while swallowing in the erect seated position, using FDG PET. Eight healthy male volunteers were studied with a randomised 2 scan paradigm of rest or water swallowing at 20-second intervals for 30 minutes. Data were analysed with SPM99 using multisubject conditions and covariates design. During swallowing, analysis identified increased rCMRglc (P<0.01) in the following areas: left sensorimotor cortex, cerebellum, thalamus, precuneus, anterior insula, left and right lateral postcentral gyrus, and left and right occipital cortex. Decreased rCMRglc were also seen in the right premotor cortex, right and left sensory and motor association cortices, left posterior insula and left cerebellum. Thus, FDG PET can be applied to measure the brain metabolic activity associated with volitional swallowing and has the advantage of normal task engagement. This has implications for future activation studies in patients, especially those suffering swallowing problems after brain injury.
Pratiques parentales et comportements déviants à l'adolescence (2001)

RESUME 
Cette etude a ete realisee aupres d’un echantillon de 303 adolescents, 170 filles et 133 garcons âges, en moyenne, de 17 ans 2 mois. Les sujets ont ete recrutes dans quatre lycees situes dans la region parisienne. Cette etude s’est donnee comme principal objectif d’examiner les liens entre les relations entretenues avec les parents et la presence de comportements deviants et developper un modele qui puisse rendre compte de ces liens au moyen d’une analyse par equations structurales. Les indices d’ajustement des modeles de mesure a conduit a entreprendre des analyses separees pour les garcons et pour les filles. Le modele structural s’ajuste adequatement aux donnees pour les deux sexes et confirme un parcours qui associe l’attachement parental et les variables de supervision et de conflits, elles-memes associees aux comportements deviants et a la consommation d’alcool et de drogues. Pour les deux sexes, les faiblesses de l’attachement parental entrainent des conflits alors que la qualite de l’attachement garantit la presence de supervision ; la presence de conflits avec la mere contribue a l’engagement dans des comportements deviants alors que la supervision parentale entraine une reduction de ces comportements. Globalement, le sexe discrimine les variables examinees. Attachement et pratiques parentales sont plus clairement associes dans le cas des filles. Ces differences sont discutees a la lumiere des pratiques de socialisation particulieres aux filles.
Site-Specific PEGylation Enhances the Pharmacokinetic Properties and Antitumor Activity of Interferon Beta-1b (2013)

Interferon beta (IFN-β) is widely used to ameliorate disease progression in patients with Multiple Sclerosis. IFN-β has a short half-life in humans, necessitating frequent administration for optimum effectiveness. Covalent modification of IFN-β with polyethylene glycol (PEG) improves the pharmacokinetic properties of the protein, but can adversely affect the protein's in vitro bioactivity. Random modification of lysine residues in IFN-β with amine-reactive PEGs decreased the in vitro bioactivity of the protein 50-fold, presumably due to modification of lysine residues near critical receptor binding sites. PEGylated IFN-β proteins that retained high in vitro bioactivity could be obtained by selective modification of the N-terminus of the protein with PEG. Here we use site-specific PEGylation technology (targeted attachment of a cysteine-reactive-PEG to an engineered cysteine residue in IFN-β) to identify several additional amino acid positions where PEG can be attached to IFN-β without appreciable loss of in vitro bioactivity. Unexpectedly, we found that most of the PEG-IFN-β analogs showed 11- to 78-fold improved in vitro bioactivities relative to their unPEGylated parent proteins and to IFN-β-1b. In vivo studies showed that a lead PEG-IFN-β protein had improved pharmacokinetic properties compared to IFN-β and was significantly more effective than IFN-β at inhibiting growth of a human tumor xenograft in athymic mice.
Molecular Design and Supramolecular Organization of Highly Efficient Nonlinear Optical Chromophores for Exceptional Electro-Optic Properties (2010)

Arene-perfluoroarene stacking interactions are explored in a new series of dendronized nonlinear optical (NLO) chromophores to create extended network structures and overcome intermolecular electrostatic interactions for improving their poling efficiency and alignment stability. These supramolecular self-assembled molecular glasses showed ultrahigh electro-optic (EO) activity (r33 > 300 pm/V) and excellent thermal stability (at 85 °C). These unprecedented EO activities could inspire the vigorous development of new integrated optical devices.
Manzamenones Inhibit T-Cell Protein Tyrosine Phosphatase (2006)

Manzamenones A~C (1~3) and E~F (5~6), unique oxylipin metabolites isolated from a marine sponge Plakortis sp., have been found to exhibit inhibitory activity against Tcell protein tyrosine phosphatase (TCPTP). The inhibitory activity of 2 and 5 against TCPTP was 4 times more potent than that against protein tyrosine phosphatase-1B (PTP1B).
TCP traffic in Bluetooth 1.2: performance and dimensioning of flow control (2005)

Recent updates of the Bluetooth specification to version 1.2 have introduced significant changes in the Bluetooth protocol stack, including optional flow control. When the Bluetooth piconet is used to carry TCP traffic, complex interactions between TCP congestion control mechanisms and Bluetooth data link layer controls will occur. In this paper, we analyze the performance of the piconet with TCP traffic, and show that satisfactory performance for TCP traffic may be obtained through proper dimensioning of the Bluetooth architecture parameters.
Isolation of a Renal Thiol Protease that Activates Inactive Plasma Renin (1979)

1. A thiol protease with properties similar to those of cathepsin B (EC 3.4.22.1) has been isolated and purified from human renal cortex. 2. This enzyme can generate renin activity from renin-suppressed and anephric human plasma at pH 5.5. 3. The renin activity thus generated is inhibited completely by antibody to purified human renal renin. This activation therefore represents the release of inactive renin.

Super pH-Sensitive Multifunctional Polymeric Micelle (2005)

To endow enhanced tumor specificity and endosome disruption property on the carrier, a multifunctional polymeric micelle was investigated. The micelle exposes the cell interacting ligand (biotin) on the surface under slightly acidic environmental conditions of various solid tumors and is internalized by biotin receptor-mediated endocytosis in a short time period. The micelle also showed pH-dependent dissociation, causing the enhanced release of doxorubicin from the carrier in early endosomal pH. The dissociated micellar components subsequently disrupt endosomal membrane.
Evaluation of the similarity of gene expression data estimated with SAGE and Affymetrix GeneChips (2005)

We can conclude that intra-platform correlations are generally good, but that overall agreement between the two platforms is modest. This might be due to the binomially distributed sampling variation in SAGE tag counts, SAGE annotation errors and the intensity variation between probe sets of a single gene in Affymetrix GeneChips. We cannot identify or advice which platform performs better since both have their (dis)-advantages. Therefore it is strongly recommended to perform follow-up studies of interesting genes using additional techniques. The newly introduced between-ratio difference is a filtering-independent measure for between-platform concordance. Moreover, the between-ratio difference per gene can be used to detect transcripts with similar regulation on both platforms.
Radical-Anionic Cyclizations of Enediynes:  Remarkable Effects of Benzannelation and Remote Substituents on Cyclorearomatization Reactions (2003)

The reasons for large changes in the energetics of C1-C5 and C1-C6 (Bergman) cyclizations of enediynes upon one-electron reduction were studied by DFT and Coupled Cluster computations. Although both of these radical-anionic cyclizations are significantly accelerated relative to their thermal counterparts, the acceleration is especially large for benzannelated enediynes, whose reductive cyclizations are predicted to proceed readily under ambient conditions. Unlike their thermal analogues, the radical-anionic reactions can be efficiently controlled by remote substitution, and the effect of substituent electronegativity is opposite of the effect on the thermal cycloaromatization reactions. For both radical-anionic cyclizations, large effects of benzannelation and increased sensitivity to the properties of remote substituents result from crossing of out-of-plane and in-plane MOs in the vicinity of transition states. This crossing leads to restoration of the aromaticity decreased upon one-electron reduction of benzannelated enediynes. Increased interactions between nonbonding orbitals as well as formation of new aromatic rings (five membered for the C1-C5 cyclization and six membered for C1-C6 cyclizations) are the other sources of increased exothermicity for both radical-anionic cyclizations. The tradeoff between reduction potentials and cyclization efficiency as well as the possibilities of switching of enediyne cyclization modes (exo or C1-C5 vs endo or C1-C6)) under kinetic or thermodynamic control conditions are also outlined.
Involvement of Postsynaptic EP4 and Presynaptic EP3 Receptors in Actions of Prostaglandin E2 in Rat Supraoptic Neurones (2002)

We have reported that supraoptic nucleus (SON) neurones are excited by prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) presumably via dual postsynaptic PG receptors, FP receptors and unidentified EP receptors, and that presynaptic EP receptors may also be involved in the excitation. In the present study, to clarify the receptor mechanism of the PGE2-mediated actions on SON neurones, we studied the pre- and postsynaptic effects of four newly developed EP agonists that are selective for each of the four EP receptors, EP1-4, on rat SON neurones using extracellular recording and whole-cell patch-clamp techniques. The EP4 agonist ONO-AE1-329 mimicked the excitatory effects of PGE2, whereas the EP1 agonist ONO-DI-004, the EP2 agonist ONO-AE1-257 and the EP3 agonist ONO-AE-248 had little or no effect. The effects of ONO-AE1-329 were unaffected by the EP1/FP/TP antagonist, ONO-NT-012, which potently suppressed the excitation caused by the FP agonist fluprostenol and PGE2. ONO-AE1-329 caused marked excitation when responses to fluprostenol were desensitized by repeated applications of fluprostenol. Patch-clamp analysis in SON neurones showed that ONO-AE1-329 induced inward currents at a holding potential of -70 mV and the reversal potential of the currents was -35.1 +/- 2.3 mV. On the other hand, the frequency of spontaneous inhibitory postsynaptic currents recorded from SON slice preparations was suppressed by ONO-AE-248, but unaffected by the other three EP agonists. These results suggest that SON neurones possess postsynaptic EP4 receptors and that gamma-aminobutyric acid neurones innervating SON neurones possess presynaptic EP3 receptors in their terminals. Activation of the two EP receptors may be involved in the excitatory regulation of SON neurones by PGE2.
