Corrigendum: Acid‐Mediated Formation of Radicals or Baeyer–Villiger Oxidation from Criegee Adducts (2017)

An error has occurred in this Communication, the calculated bond dissociation energies (BDE) of compounds 15 a and 15 b have been mixed up. The corrected Figure 1 with the correct values is shown below. The discussion of the manuscript and its conclusions remain unchanged. O−O bond dissociation enthalpies (BDE) of peroxide species potentially formed under the reaction conditions; calculated in vacuum using the wB97XD functional with the aug-cc-pVTZ basis set. In the same way, the BDE values for 15 a and 15 b have been mixed up in Table S3 of the Supporting Information. Additionally, the enthalpies of some structures reported in Table S6 have to be corrected, since they were actually calculated using geometries and vibrational frequencies obtained with the larger basis set aug-cc-pVTZ, instead of 6-31++G(d,p), as indicated. However, the changes are small (as the final electronic energies are computed using the larger basis set in both cases) and will not change the conclusions. Also, in Figure 2 of the manuscript, the correct values had been used. A corrected version of the Supporting Information is available along with this Corrigendum.

Suppression of IgE Production by IPD-1151T (Suplatast Tosilate), a New Dimethylsulfonium Agent: (1) Regulation of Murine IgE Response (1993)

The effect of IPD-1151T, a new dimethylsulfonium compound, on the IgE response was investigated in the mouse system. The oral administration of IPD-1151T to immunized BALB/c mice suppressed the primary IgE antibody response and depressed the elevation of serum IgE levels, whereas the same treatment did not affect the IgG antibody response. The enhanced expression of low-affinity IgE receptor (Fc epsilon RII/CD23) on the spleen cells of immunized mice was also inhibited by IPD-1151T administration. It was further demonstrated from the adoptive transfer experiment that IPD-1151T, administered to hapten-primed B cell donors, but not to carrier-primed T cell donors, exerted its suppressive influence on the hapten-specific secondary IgE antibody response in irradiated syngeneic recipients. Interestingly, IPD-1151T concentration-dependently inhibited the production of interleukin 4 (IL-4) by D10G4.1, known to be a typical Th2 clone. However, IPD-1151T did not suppress the production of IgE and IgG1 by normal splenic B cells stimulated with lipopolysaccharide and IL-4. Moreover, IL-4-induced expression of Fc epsilon RII on normal spleen cells was not inhibited by the agent. These results strongly suggest that the IgE-suppressive activity of IPD-1151T is most likely due to the inhibition of IL-4 production at the T cell level.
On the Ejection of Filaments of Polymer Solutions Triggered by a Micrometer-Scale Mixing Mechanism (2021)

Polymer filaments constitute precursor materials of so-called fiber mats, ubiquitous structures across cutting-edge technological fields. Thus, approaches that contribute to large-scale production of fibers are desired from an industrial perspective. Here, we use a robust liquid atomization device operated at relatively high flow rates, ~20 mL/min, as facilitating technology for production of multiple polymer filaments. The method relies on a turbulent, energetically efficient micro-mixing mechanism taking place in the interior of the device. The micro-mixing is triggered by radial implosion of a gas current into a liquid feeding tube, thus resulting in breakup of the liquid surface. We used poly(ethylene oxide) solutions of varying concentrations as test liquids to study their fragmentation and ejection dynamics employing ultra-high speed imaging equipment. Taking an energy cascade approach, a scaling law for filament diameter was proposed based on gas pressure, liquid flow rate and viscosity. We find that a filament dimensionless diameter, Df*, scales as a non-dimensional liquid flow rate Q* to the 1/5. The study aims to elucidate the underlying physics of liquid ejection for further applications in material production.
Hiding Higher-Order Univariate Leakages by Shuffling Polynomial Masking Schemes (2016)

Polynomial masking is a glitch-resistant and higher-order masking scheme based upon Shamir's secret sharing scheme and multi-party computation protocols. Polynomial masking was first introduced at CHES 2011, while a 1st-order implementation of the AES S-box on FPGA was presented at CHES 2013.
Monoamines, Glucose Metabolism and Impulse Control (2014)

We had studied cerebrospinal fluid monoamine metabolite concentrations and glucose metabolism in 58 violent offenders and impulsive fire setters in the early 1980s. We performed a follow-up study investigating recidivist crimes after release from prison and histories of suicide attempts using behavioral, diagnostic, and biochemical variables to discriminate subjects with recidivism and suicide attempts from subjects without recidivism and suicide attempts. Biochemical variables discriminated significantly between the groups.

Integrating web information to generate chinese video summaries (2005)

Chest trauma ranks third behind head and extremity trauma in major accidents in the United States. The motor vehicle accident is the most common etiology (70 per cent). Within the thorax, the chest wall itself is the most often injured. Many of these injuries are of moderate severity and rarely require surgical intervention. The majority of chest trauma requires careful surveillance to identify those patients who require operative correction. Improvement in vehicle safety, moderation of speed, and continued education should reduce the incidence and severity of chest trauma.

Fabrication of taste sensor for education (2017)

In order to solve the unconcern to usefulness of learning science among high school students in Japan, we developed a simple fabricated taste sensor with sensitivity and selectivity to each taste quality, which can be applied in science class. A commercialized Teflon membrane was used as the polymer membrane holding lipids. In addition, a non-adhesive method is considered to combine the membrane and the sensor electrode using a plastic cap which is easily accessible. The taste sensor for education fabricated in this way showed a good selectivity and sensitivity. By adjusting the composition of trioctylmethylammonium chloride (TOMA) and phosphoric acid di(2-ethylhexyl) ester (PAEE) included in lipid solution, we improved the selectivity of this simple taste sensor to saltiness and sourness. To verify this taste sensor as a useful science teaching material for science class, we applied this taste sensor into a science class for university students. By comparing the results between the sensory test and the sensor response, humans taste showed the same tendency just as the sensor response, which proved the sensor as a useful teaching material for science class.
Observation of Fresnel fringes in the conventional scanning electron microscope (1972)

Images of Fresnel fringes have been obtained in the conventional surface scanning electron microscope operating in the transmission mode. These fringes provide a means for critically evaluating instrument resolution, final lens astigmatism, and source brightness.
Percutaneous coronary intervention or bypass surgery in multivessel disease? A tailored approach based on coronary pressure measurement (2004)

The optimal revascularization strategy, percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) or coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG), for patients with multivessel coronary artery disease (MVD) remains controversial. The aim of the present study was to compare the long-term outcomes after selective PCI of only hemodynamically significant lesions (fractional flow reserve, or FFR < 0.75) to CABG of all stenoses in patients with MVD. In 150 patients with MVD referred for CABG, FFR was determined in 381 coronary arteries considered for bypass grafting. If the FFR was less than 0.75 in three vessels or in two vessels including the proximal left anterior descending (LAD) artery, CABG was performed (CABG group). If only one or two vessels were physiologically significant (not including the proximal LAD), PCI of those lesions was performed (PCI group). Of the 150 patients, 87 fulfilled the criteria for CABG and 63 for PCI. There were no significant differences in the angiographic or other baseline characteristics between the two groups. At 2-year follow-up, no differences were seen in adverse events, including repeat revascularization (event-free survival 74% in the CABG group and 72% in the PCI group). A similar number of patients were free from angina (84% in the CABG group and 82% in the PCI group). Importantly, the results in both groups were as good as the surgical groups in previous studies comparing PCI and CABG in MVD. In patients with multivessel disease, PCI in those with one or two hemodynamically significant lesions as identified by an FFR < 0.75 yields a similar favorable outcome as CABG in those with three or more culprit lesions despite a similar angiographic extent of disease.
Block-Composed Background Reference for High Efficiency Video Coding (2016)

A block-composed background reference method is proposed in this paper for High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC). For a group of picture (GoP), the first reconstructed picture is served as an initial background reference, which probably includes foreground content. In the subsequent coding, some background coding tree units (CTUs) in every picture are selected to be compressed with high quality. These reconstructed CTUs are used to update the background reference as well as replace the foreground content. Finally, a high-quality background reference is generated to better exploit the long-term temporal correlation in the video. There are three key technical contributions in the proposed coding scheme. First, the background reference is generated gradually by block updating instead of picture updating, which makes the scheme free of bit-rate burst and more suitable for real-time applications and can generate high-quality background reference even with complicated foreground. Second, we propose an approach to select background CTUs by taking both temporal and spatial smoothness into account. Third, we propose a model to decide the coding parameters of the selected background CTUs based on the overall picture activity, which essentially pursues the GoP-level optimal performance when making CTU-level decision. The proposed background reference is implemented into HEVC, and the experimental results demonstrate a significant improvement in coding efficiency. Compared with HEVC, our method can averagely save 14% bits in surveillance and conferencing sequences with negligible increase of encoding and decoding complexity. In particular, it can still averagely save 7.3% bits in HEVC general test sequences. Obviously, the proposed scheme can be applied to more general video contents.
Experimental Investigation of IEEE 802.15.4 Transmission Power Control and Interference Minimization (2007)

Although the characteristics of RF transmissions are physically well understood at the lowest levels of communication design, accurately incorporating power and interference effects is one of the most challenging tasks in designing efficient wireless network algorithms. The most noteworthy approaches are the circular transmission and interference "ranges" that do not apply to antennae packages that are not omnidirectional, as well as to non line-of-sight environments of many low power wireless sensor and mesh network. In this paper we experimentally investigate and then model the transmission interference of low power 802.15.4 based transceiver nodes by relying not only on distance but also on the transmit power, orientations, and the relative positions of the transmitter, receiver, and interfering nodes. The experimentally validated power/interference model is then used as the basis for an optimization algorithm that schedules nodes to minimize interference and maximize throughput from a set of senders to a set of receivers.
A U-Shaped Bioartificial Pancreas with Rapid Glucose-Insulin Kinetics: In Vitro Evaluation and Kinetic Modelling (1984)

The lag in insulin release in response to glucose is an obstacle to the development of hybrid pancreatic devices, in which an artificial membrane protects transplanted islets against immune rejection. We designed a U-shaped bioartificial pancreas, in which the blood channel surrounds the islet chamber consisting of two flat membranes; blood circulates successively above the first membrane and then in the reverse direction, below the second membrane. Isolated rat islets were introduced into the chamber, which was perfused with Krebs buffer, and the kinetics of insulin release in response to glucose was determined. During a 20-min, 2.8-20-mM, square-wave glucose stimulation, insulin release in the effluent of the device rose from 0.7 +/- 0.2 to 3.2 +/- 1.0 ng/100 islets/min (P less than 0.05) within 3 min, and reached a maximal level of 12.8 +/- 3.3 ng/100 islets/min at 10 min; 5 min after the return of the glucose concentration to substimulatory level, insulin release dropped from 11.3 +/- 1.5 to 8.0 +/- 1.7 ng/100 islets/min (P less than 0.05), and reached basal value (1.0 +/- 0.2 ng/100 islets/min) 40 min after the end of the stimulation. A 0.1-mM/L/min ramp increase in glucose concentration triggered a significant rise in insulin release (P less than 0.02) when the glucose concentration reached 5.3 +/- 0.2 mM; islets concomitantly perifused within a chamber set up without membrane responded to the same glucose stimulation 5 min earlier. For up to 1000 islets, insulin release in response to glucose was linearly correlated to the number of islets (N = 12, P less than 0.01), indicating that insulin did not significantly inhibit its own secretion in this system. Finally, during glucose stimulation, the insulin concentration in the effluent from the chamber was found to be four times the concentration present at the turning point of the blood channel, suggesting that insulin was transferred into the perfusing medium in part by a countercurrent flux of ultrafiltrate crossing the membranes. We present herein the kinetic modelling of glucose and insulin transfer in this "ultrafiltration chamber," whose functional characteristics are compatible with closed-loop insulin delivery.
Non-Specific Lipid Transfer Proteins: A Protein Family in Search of an Allergenic Pattern (2014)

The globalized economy has facilitated the introduction of numerous novel foods into our diets. These are often exotic fruits and vegetables that are promoted due to claims of beneficial health properties. Among them, pomegranate (Punica granatum) , endemic to the Middle East and India, is now available throughout Europe partly due to promotion of its antioxidant activity. However, pomegranate has recently been shown to trigger immediate hypersensitivity including anaphylactic reactions [1, 2] . Molecular-based investigations on pomegranate extract show that nonspecific lipid transfer proteins (nsLTPs) are involved in the development of adverse reactions. Due to their compact fold, members of this protein family demonstrate a high resistance to thermal and gastric treatment and they are involved in local but also severe systemic allergic reactions predominantly affecting the Mediterranean population. NsLTPs are present in plant food and vegetables, but also in pollen and latex [3] . In an earlier study, two pomegranate nsLTP isoallergens were purified from the natural source showing divergent immunological properties [1] . A follow-up study by Bolla et al. [4] identified the primary sequence of pomegranate nsLTPs and their immunological behavior as well as analyzing the role of the major peach allergen, Pru p 3, as a main sensitizer. Using degenerated primers based on published nsLTP sequences, the authors identified three different full-length cDNA sequences, which were designated as Pun g 1.0101, Pun g 1.0201 and Pun g 1.0301 by the WHO/IUIS Allergen Nomenclature Sub
Spatiotemporal instability of a confined capillary jet (2008)

Recent experimental studies on the instability of capillary jets have revealed the suitability of a linear spatiotemporal instability analysis to ascertain the parametrical conditions for specific flow regimes such as steady jetting or dripping. In this work, an extensive analytical, numerical, and experimental description of confined capillary jets is provided, leading to an integrated picture both in terms of data and interpretation. We propose an extended, accurate analytic model in the low Reynolds number limit, and introduce a numerical scheme to predict the system response when the liquid inertia is not negligible. Theoretical predictions show remarkable accuracy when compared with the extensive experimental mapping.
Mimic The Raw Domain: Accelerating Action Recognition in the Compressed\n Domain (2019)

Video understanding usually requires expensive computation that prohibits its\ndeployment, yet videos contain significant spatiotemporal redundancy that can\nbe exploited. In particular, operating directly on the motion vectors and\nresiduals in the compressed video domain can significantly accelerate the\ncompute, by not using the raw videos which demand colossal storage capacity.\nExisting methods approach this task as a multiple modalities problem. In this\npaper we are approaching the task in a completely different way; we are looking\nat the data from the compressed stream as a one unit clip and propose that the\nresidual frames can replace the original RGB frames from the raw domain.\nFurthermore, we are using teacher-student method to aid the network in the\ncompressed domain to mimic the teacher network in the raw domain. We show\nexperiments on three leading datasets (HMDB51, UCF1, and Kinetics) that\napproach state-of-the-art accuracy on raw video data by using compressed data.\nOur model MFCD-Net outperforms prior methods in the compressed domain and more\nimportantly, our model has 11X fewer parameters and 3X fewer Flops,\ndramatically improving the efficiency of video recognition inference. This\napproach enables applying neural networks exclusively in the compressed domain\nwithout compromising accuracy while accelerating performance.\n
Extracting kinetic parameters for homogeneous [Os(bpy)2ClPyCOOH]+ mediated enzyme reactions from cyclic voltammetry and simulations (2008)

The homogeneous reaction between glucose oxidase and osmium bipyridine-pyridine carboxylic acid in the presence of glucose has been studied in detail by cyclic voltammetry and digital simulation. Combination of the analytical equations that describe the dependence of the amperometric response on enzyme, substrate and co-substrate concentrations for the limiting cases with digital simulation of the coupled enzyme reaction diffusion problem allows us to extract kinetic parameters for the substrate-enzyme reaction: K(MS)=10.8 mM, k(cat)=254 s(-1) and for the redox mediator-enzyme reaction, k=2.2x10(5) M(-1) s(-1). The accurate determination of the kinetic parameters at low substrate concentrations (<7 mM) is limited by depletion of the substrate close to the electrode surface. At high substrate concentrations (>20 mM) inactivation of the reduced form of glucose oxidase in the bulk solution must be taken into account in the analysis of the results.
Homogentisic acid-derived pigment as a biocompatible label for optoacoustic imaging of macrophages (2019)

Macrophages are one of the most functionally-diverse cell types with roles in innate immunity, homeostasis and disease making them attractive targets for diagnostics and therapy. Photo- or optoacoustics could provide non-invasive, deep tissue imaging with high resolution and allow to visualize the spatiotemporal distribution of macrophages in vivo. However, present macrophage labels focus on synthetic nanomaterials, frequently limiting their ability to combine both host cell viability and functionality with strong signal generation. Here, we present a homogentisic acid-derived pigment (HDP) for biocompatible intracellular labeling of macrophages with strong optoacoustic contrast efficient enough to resolve single cells against a strong blood background. We study pigment formation during macrophage differentiation and activation, and utilize this labeling method to track migration of pro-inflammatory macrophages in vivo with whole-body imaging. We expand the sparse palette of macrophage labels for in vivo optoacoustic imaging and facilitate research on macrophage functionality and behavior.
Watermark detection: benchmarking perspectives (2003)

Benchmarking of watermarking algorithms is a complicated task that requires examination of a set of mutually dependent performance factors (algorithm complexity, decoding/detection performance, and perceptual quality). This paper will focus on detection/decoding performance evaluation and try to summarize its basic principles. A methodology for deriving the corresponding performance metrics will also be provided.
