Molecular Characterization of α-gliadin Genes from Diploid Lophopyrum elongatum and Elymus sibiricus (2010)

Sixty-three α-gliadin open reading frames (ORF) were characterized from diploid Lophopyrum elongatum and tetroploid Elymus sibiricus. Sequence comparison revealed that about 90% of them contained an internal stop codon or frameshift. Alignment between these ORFs and reported α-gliadin sequences reveal that they coded identical signal peptide domain, repetitive domain and C-terminal region, except polyglumatine domains. Analysis of the first three codons in repetitive domains reveals two new types of motifs (GRV and RV). Novel types of motifs, including (Q)3AR(Q)5, (Q)2AR(Q)5, (Q)3A, were characterized in the first polyglumatine region. Three known types of celiac disease (CD) epitopes in Triticum were screened and compared in the repetitive and the C-terminal unique domains. A potential real gene (EU016530) from E. sibiricus contained two types of CD epitode (glia-α^2 and glia-α), whereas, the real genes from diploid L. elongatum are found to contain no CD epitode, only with pseudogenes EU018257 containing glia-α. Phylogenetic analysis showed that α-gliadins from diploid L. elongatum were closely related to those from decaploid L. elongatum, while that from E. sibiricus were more homologous with those from other Triticum species.
Russian ballet and its place in Russian artistic culture of the second half of the nineteenth century: The age of Petipa (1992)

complexity of Russian artistic life in the second half of the nineteenth century is traditionally reduced to realism. One poet described the nineteenth century this way: The beginning of the century still sought to struggle against the earth's pull with convulsive leaps and awkward, laborious half-flights; the end of the century already rested motionless, covered with the great tent of outsized wings. rest of despair. Wings pressed downward, contrary to their natural tunction.' Russian thought strove to comprehend the present-day reality and ascribed extremely varied points of view to what had come before. The radical ideological expression of the Russian sociocultural condition2 became the utopian socialism of Nikolai Chernyshevsky and Nikolai Dobrolyubov. Their names remain the most authoritative in a discussion of realism in Russian nineteenth-century art.
Bladder Cancer Screening and Future Directions in Urine-Based Markers for Bladder Urothelial Carcinoma (2007)

At present, bladder cancer screening is not an accepted standard of care; however, there is potential for non-invasive screening for this disease. Urine cytology has a high sensitivity and specificity for the detection of high-grade urothelial carcinoma, but lacks the sensitivity to detect low-grade tumors and is not costeffective for screening. Use of hemoglobin dipstick has been utilized for screening but suffers from a low positive predictive value. An accurate bladder tumor marker would be useful for both screening of high-risk populations and for monitoring of patients with a history of bladder cancer to help identify recurrence early and prevent disease progression. A number of markers that take advantage of exfoliated cells in the urine for detection of cell surface antigens, nuclear morphology, or gene expression as well as markers for detection of excreted proteins have been studied in bladder cancer. In our previous review, we have discussed cytology and commercially available FDA-approved urine markers. Herein, we review the potential for bladder cancer screening as well as the most promising urine-based markers that are currently under investigation.
Echo-guided identification of key lumbar arteries supplying the spinal cord in a canine model. (2005)

The aim of this study was to anatomically verify echo-guided identification of key lumbar arteries supplying blood to the spinal cord and to examine whether changes in nerve root motion could be used for detecting malperfusion following aortic cross-clamping. In two beagle dogs, nerve root motion was monitored through the intervertebral disc using transesophageal echocardiography. Communications between each lumbar artery and the spinal vasculature were assessed by echogenic signals in the spinal cord following saline injection into each lumbar artery. Nerve root motion immediately disappeared after clamping the aorta and recovered as soon as it was declamped. These changes were induced specifically by clamping the aorta at the first lumbar level. The changes were instantaneous and may be beneficial because of minimal ischemic insult of the spinal cord. In dog #1, the result of the saline injection test was anatomically verified with the presence of a spinal branch. However, in dog #2 echogenic signals appeared in the muscles as well as in the spinal artery. A morphological study showed no spinal branch of the lumbar artery but only an indistinct artery in the intervertebral foramen. These findings probably account for those cases in humans where there is unsuccessful visualization of the Adamkiewicz artery by angiography. Consequently, the above two assessments identified the key artery. Cessation of nerve root motion following segmental clamping of the aorta and echogenic signals in the spinal cord following saline injection into a lumbar artery may represent the key artery with respect to hemodynamics and perfusion, respectively.
The Stokes relations linking time reversal and the inverse filter (2005)

Our aim in this paper is to show how two adaptive focusing techniques, Time Reversal (TR) and the Spatio Temporal Inverse Filter (STIF), are related by the Stokes equations linking waves transmitted and reflected through a medium. For that purpose a model experiment has been investigated: a solid plate located between two arrays of transducers. When sending a wave from an array to the other through the plate, multiple transmitted waves are induced. TR and STIF are used to cancel these echoes. The echoes can be suppressed by TR, using the two arrays cavity surrounding the plate. They can also be cancelled by STIF, inverting the transmission operator between the arrays. The STIF achieves echoes cancellation by using only the transmitted fields through the plate, whereas TR also requires the reflected fields. The STIF's strategy is analyzed in light of the Stokes relations: thanks to the reflections in the medium, it is able to simulate a TR cavity with only one array. A mathematical analysis of the matrix expression of the Stokes relations then leads to two iterative ways to invert the transmission operator. Finally, this general technique is applied to a more complex medium: a human skull bone..
Orthogonal Time Frequency Space (OTFS) Modulation Based Radar System (2019)

Orthogonal time frequency space (OTFS) modulation was proposed to tackle the destructive Doppler effects in wireless communications, with potential applications to many other areas. In this paper, we investigate its application to radar systems, and propose a novel efficient OTFS-based matched filter algorithm for target range and velocity estimation. The proposed algorithm not only exhibits the inherent advantages due to multi-carrier modulation of the existing orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM-) based radar algorithms but also provides additional benefits to improve radar capability. Similar to OFDM, OTFS spreads the transmitted signal in the entire time--frequency resources to exploit the full diversity gains for radar processing. However, OTFS requires less cyclic prefix, and hence, shorter transmission duration than OFDM, allowing longer range radar and/or faster target tracking rate. Additionally, unlike OFDM, OTFS is inter-carrier interference-free, enabling larger Doppler frequency estimation. We demonstrate the performance of the proposed algorithm using numerical results under different system settings.
A Tractable Stochastic Model of Correlated Link Failures Caused by Disasters (2018)

In order to evaluate the expected availability of a service, a network administrator should consider all possible failure scenarios under the specific service availability model stipulated in the corresponding service-level agreement. Given the increase in natural disasters and malicious attacks with geographically extensive impact, considering only independent single link failures is often insufficient. In this paper, we build a stochastic model of geographically correlated link failures caused by disasters, in order to estimate the hazards a network may be prone to, and to understand the complex correlation between possible link failures. With such a model, one can quickly extract information, such as the probability of an arbitrary set of links to fail simultaneously, the probability of two nodes to be disconnected, the probability of a path to survive a failure, etc. Furthermore, we introduce a pre-computation process, which enables us to succinctly represent the joint probability distribution of link failures. In particular, we generate, in polynomial time, a quasilinear-sized data structure, with which the joint failure probability of any set of links can be computed efficiently.

A 32.4 ppm/&#x00B0;C 3.2-1.6V self-chopped relaxation oscillator with adaptive supply generation (2012)

A self-chopped relaxation oscillator with adaptive supply generation provides the stable output clock against variations in temperature and supply voltages. The frequency drift is less than ±0.1% for the supply voltage changing from 1.6 to 3.2 V and ±0.1% for a temperature range from -20 to 100°C, which is reduced by 83% with the self-chopped technique. This relaxation oscillator is implemented in a 60-nm CMOS technology with its active area equals to 0.048 mm <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">2</sup> . It consumes 2.8 uA from a 1.6-V supply.
An enzyme-linked immunoassay for the collagen cross-link pyridinoline (1982)

An inhibition immunoassay method for the determination of pyridinoline was developed with the use of microtitre plates coated with a pyridinoline--gelatin conjugate and rabbit antisera directed against pyridinoline linked to bovine serum albumin. The sensitivity of the assay is about 2pmol of pyridinoline, and the presence of related pyridinium and lysine-derived compounds does not significantly interfere with the procedure. Its application to tissue and human urine samples is described.

Augmented/Mixed Reality Audio for Hearables: Sensing, control, and rendering (2022)

Augmented or mixed reality (AR/MR) is emerging as one of the key technologies in the future of computing. Audio cues are critical for maintaining a high degree of realism, social connection, and spatial awareness for various AR/MR applications, such as education and training, gaming, remote work, and virtual social gatherings to transport the user to an alternate world called the metaverse. Motivated by a wide variety of AR/MR listening experiences delivered over hearables, this article systematically reviews the integration of fundamental and advanced signal processing techniques for AR/MR audio to equip researchers and engineers in the signal processing community for the next wave of AR/MR.

A Bayesian generative neural network framework for epidemic inference problems (2022)

The reconstruction of missing information in epidemic spreading on contact networks can be essential in the prevention and containment strategies. The identification and warning of infectious but asymptomatic individuals (i.e., contact tracing), the well-known patient-zero problem, or the inference of the infectivity values in structured populations are examples of significant epidemic inference problems. As the number of possible epidemic cascades grows exponentially with the number of individuals involved and only an almost negligible subset of them is compatible with the observations (e.g., medical tests), epidemic inference in contact networks poses incredible computational challenges. We present a new generative neural networks framework that learns to generate the most probable infection cascades compatible with observations. The proposed method achieves better (in some cases, significantly better) or comparable results with existing methods in all problems considered both in synthetic and real contact networks. Given its generality, clear Bayesian and variational nature, the presented framework paves the way to solve fundamental inference epidemic problems with high precision in small and medium-sized real case scenarios such as the spread of infections in workplaces and hospitals.

We present a rigorous model for secure reactive systems in asynchronous networks with a sound cryptographic semantics, supporting abstract specifications and the composition of secure systems. This enables modular proofs of security, which is essential in bridging the gap between the rigorous proof techniques of cryptography and tool-supported formal proof techniques. The model follows the general...
A Matrix-Isolation Spectroscopic and Theoretical Investigation of Tris(8-hydroxyquinolinato)aluminum(III) and Tris(4-methyl-8-hydroxyquinolinato)aluminum(III) (2000)

Infrared and photoluminescence spectra of matrix-isolated and thin-film samples (both at 11 K) of tris(8-hydroxyquinolinato)aluminum(III) (Alq3) and tris(4-methyl-8-hydroxyquinolinato)aluminum(III) (Almq3) were collected and compared to vibrational spectra generated by B3LYP based density functional calculations. The present infrared spectral results suggest that both Alq3 and Almq3 exist primarily in the meridional or C1 isomeric form with little or no spectral evidence for the presence of the alternate, facial (C3 symmetry) geometric isomer. In addition, photoluminescence spectra of these molecules isolated in an argon matrix show vibronic structure in the emission band associated with the S1 → S0 transition.
REAC regenerative treatment efficacy in experimental chondral lesions: a pilot study on ovine animal model (2017)

Radioelectric asymmetric conveyor (REAC) technology is a platform designed to optimize cell polarity. Cell polarity is a universal biological phenomenon that is implicated in cell differentiation, proliferation, morphogenesis, aging, and rejuvenation. In this work, we investigate a timing and administration protocol for tissue optimization regenerative treatment type C, in order to treat aging-related chondral damage or injuries and gain insights into regenerative processes of articular cartilage in humans. The chondral lesion produced in this study in an animal model (6 knee joints of 4 adult sheep) was 6 mm in diameter and about 2 mm deep. These lesions, which did not involve subchondral bone, tend to increase in size and depth and are not completely repaired with normal hyaline articular cartilage since adult articular cartilage is avascular and has a very slow turnover at the cellular and molecular level. Moreover, the hydration of articular cartilage is reduced with aging and with decreased mitotic activity, synthesis, and population size of chondrocytes. Six months posttreatment, lesions appeared filled, though not completely, with newly generated tissue of the light opalescent color of healthy articular cartilage, which otherwise covered the underlying subchondral bone. The newly formed tissue surface appeared to be quite regular. Nearly complete regeneration of subchondral bone occurred, with little vascularization and ossification nuclei almost absent. The results of this study confirm previous data obtained in vitro on the regenerative effects of REAC technology on human normal and osteoarthritic chondrocytes exposed to IL-1β. The present findings indicate that REAC tissue optimization-regenerative treatment type C is a promising therapeutic tool among the other REAC regenerative treatment protocols for the treatment of cartilage lesions.
Reducing the associativity and size of step caches in CRCW operation (2006)

Step caches are caches in which data entered to a cache array is kept valid only until the end of ongoing step of execution. Together with an advanced pipelined multithreaded architecture they can be used to implement concurrent read concurrent write (CRCW) memory access in shared memory multiprocessor systems on chip (MP-SOC) without cache coherency problems. Unfortunately obvious step cache architectures assume full associativity, which can become expensive since the size and thus associativity of caches equal the number of threads per processor being at least the square root of the number of processors. In this paper, we describe a technique to radically reduce the associativity and even size of step caches in CRCW operation. We give a short performance evaluation of limited associativity step cache systems with different settings using simple parallel programs on a parametrical MP-SOC framework. According to the evaluation, the performance of limited associativity step cache systems comes very close to that of fully associative step cache systems, while decreasing the size of caches decreases the performance gradually.
An Intelligent Environment for Simulating Mechanical Assembly Operations (1998)

Abstract Rapid technical advances in many different areas of scientific computing provide the enabling technologies for creating a comprehensive simulation and visualization environment for assembly design and planning. We have built an intelligent environment in which simple simulations can be composed together to create complex simulations for detecting potential assembly problems. Our goal in this project is to develop high fidelity assembly simulation and visualization tools that can detect assembly related problems without going through physical mock-ups. In addition, these tools can be used to create easy-to-visualize instructions for performing assembly and service operations.
Binary copolymerization with full depropagation: A study of methyl methacrylate/α‐methyl styrene copolymerization (2005)

Abstract The kinetics of the copolymerization of α‐methyl styrene and methyl methacrylate (MMA) have been revisited for the bulk system. Reactivity ratios and other kinetic parameter estimates based upon a copolymerization model developed by Kruger et al. (Makromol Chemie 1987, 188, 2163–2175) have been determined for a range of temperatures (60–140 °C). An interesting phenomenon has been uncovered, which shows that there is a distinct difference in copolymer composition predicted by the model when compared with experimental data at feed ratios of MMA below a critical value. This deviation also appears to be influenced by the reaction temperature. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Polym Sci Part A: Polym Chem 43: 3868–3877, 2005
A Compact Polarization Imager (1995)

A new type of image detector has been designed to analyze the polarization of light simultaneously at all picture elements (pixels) in a scene. The Integrated Dual Imaging Detector (IDID) consists of a polarizing beamsplitter bonded to a custom-designed charge-coupled device with signal-analysis circuitry, all integrated on a silicon chip. The IDID should simplify the design and operation of imaging polarimeters and spectroscopic imagers used, for example, in atmospheric and solar research. Other applications include environmental monitoring and robot vision. Innovations in the IDID include two interleaved 512 x 1024 pixel imaging arrays (one for each polarization plane), large dynamic range (well depth of 10(exp 6) electrons per pixel), simultaneous readout and display of both images at 10(exp 6) pixels per second, and on-chip analog signal processing to produce polarization maps in real time. When used with a lithium niobate Fabry-Perot etalon or other color filter that can encode spectral information as polarization, the IDID can reveal tiny differences between simultaneous images at two wavelengths.
Importance of coating structure for sheet-fed offset print quality (2001)

By varying the pigment composition a wide range of coating structures were produced and evaluated on their printing performance. The paper was produced on a pilot coater and the printing was carried out on a 6-colour sheet-fed offset commercial printing press. Both calendered and uncalendered paper were printed, in total 20 different papers ranging from 10 to 75% in paper gloss. Pore and surface structure had a great impact on printing properties such as print gloss, ink-set rate and rub resistance. Finer pigments and broad particle size distribution resulted in smaller pores. Smaller pores ga ve faster ink setting. Rub resistance was found to pass a minimum at gloss level corresponding to silk paper. Print gloss was determined by surface structure and pore structure. Ink drying, mottling, and surface strength were also investigated.
