Oil production by Candida curvata and extraction, composition, and properties of the oil (1981)

A strain of the yeast C. curvata was grown in cheese whey permeate under conditions that allowed for oil production. The N-C ratio of the fermentation medium influenced the amount of oil produced. Concentrated permeate could be used as a substrate, but the efficiency of conversion to oil was reduced. The yeast grew well and produced oil in several different types of whey and milk permeates and also in nonsterile systems. The lipid of C. curvata amounted to approximately 50% of its dry weight and could be extracted by sequential treatment with ethanol, hexane, and benzene. The extraction with benzene was necessary for good yields even though nearly all the material extracted with benzene was soluble in hexane. The lipid was 80-90% triglyceride, contained little free fatty acid, and could be degummed by traditional methods. The triglyceride was 30.4% palmitic, 0.84% palmitoleic acid, 11.4% stearic, 51.0% oleic, 6.2% linoleic, and 0.4% linolenic acid. The saturated acyl groups were almost completely on the sn-1 and 3 positions of the glycerol. The oil melting point was -10 to 22 degrees. No tocopherol was detected and the oil oxidized at a rate similar to that for soybean oil at 55 degrees. The oilmore » contained a variety of linear hydrocarbons and 4 sterols. The polar lipids include phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylinositol, and phosphatidic acid.« less

A scene matching algorithm based on SURF feature (2010)

Scene matching has found important and wide applications in imaging guidance of cruise missile. A scene matching algorithm based on SURF feature is proposed in this paper. Firstly, SURF feature points are extracted respectively from base image and real-time image. Then, a coarse-to-fine matching method is used to realize the match of SURF feature points. The proposed algorithm has been tested on the collected image set. The experimental results shows that, compared with the frequently-used normal cross-correlation method, the proposed algorithm can process more complicated geometric deformations existed between base image and real image and acquire higher matching accuracy; compared with the matching algorithm based on SIFT feature, the proposed algorithm has lower computational burden and faster processing speed, which can meet the real-time requirements for scene matching.
Spatial filtering of wall pressure fluctuations beneath a turbulent boundary layer (2007)

Methods of experimental spatial filtering of wall pressure fluctuations beneath a turbulent boundary layer are developed with the aim of obtaining information on the wave number-frequency spectrum. The spatial filtering of the pressure field components by wave-vector filters is studied. The method of spatial filtering of pressure fluctuations by an acoustic array, i.e., a periodic structure with a finite number of elementary transducers, is analyzed. The relation between the wave number characteristic of the acoustic array and the wave number spectrum of the amplitude distribution of transducer’s local sensitivity is determined. Quantitative estimates are obtained for the sensitivity of the array to the wave number spectrum of turbulent boundary-layer pressures, which is necessary for measuring the wall pressure fluctuations in a turbulent boundary layer by wave-vector filters.
Identification and characterization of a protective immunodominant B cell epitope of pertactin (P.69) from Bordetella pertussis (1991)

Epitopes defined by monoclonal antibodies (mAb) specific for the Bordetella pertussis outer membrane protein P.69 (pertactin) were mapped using a series of amino- and carboxy-terminal deletion mutants expressed in Escherichia coli. mAb were found to bind predominantly to a region of pertactin spanning a (Pro-Gln-Pro)5 repeat motif and one mAb was found to bind to another region spanning a (Gly-Gly-Xaa-Xaa-Pro)5 repeat motif. To localize further the mAb-binding sites, a panel of synthetic peptides, a series of 94 overlapping hexameric peptides, and a P.69 30-amino acid fusion to a hepatitis B core protein (HBcAg-69), were synthesized. This combined approach has identified the binding site for the mAb BBO5: Pro-Gly-Pro-Gln-Pro-Pro; mAb BBO7, E4A8 and E4D7: Ala-Pro-Gln-Pro-Pro-Ala-Gly-Arg; and mAb BPE3: Thr-Leu-Trp-Tyr-Ala-Glu-Ser-Asn-Ala-Leu-Ser-Lys-Arg. We have used a non-lethal murine respiratory model of B. pertussis infection to investigate the ability of a peptide containing the epitope of the mAb BBO5 to elicit protective immunity. Immunization of mice with the HBcAg-69 protein prevented growth of B. pertussis in the lungs compared to mice receiving HBcAg alone, and protection correlated with high titers of anti-P.69 antibodies.
Patient-specific modelling of cardiac electrophysiology in heart-failure patients (2014)

Tuning a reaction-diffusion model of the human heart to reproduce measured ECGs and electrograms is feasible and may provide insights in individual disease characteristics that cannot be obtained by other means.
Center for Automation and Manufacturing Science Established at Stanford University. (1985)

A system of real time collision avoidance was implemented. The system is based on the use of potential functions around obstacles. An experimental manipulator programming system COSMOS using the method has been designed for the PUMA and demonstrated with obstacles detected by an MIC vision module. A dynamic simulator was implemented as a software equivalent of a robot are.

Contributions have been made toward the successor for ACRONYM the modeling system of successor is greatly generalized to include multiple naming, holes and set operations on volumes. Automatic Task Level Assembly Synthesizer (ATLAS) was advanced significantly in power and usability. Several porable versions of LISP have been developed &amp; both utilized. Implementation of new edge operator, tests of shape from a shading algorithm, and experimentation toward building an active ranging device.
Stimulation of pp60Src activity limits nitric oxide signaling through increases in asymmetric dimethylarginine (2014)

We have shown that a decrease in dimethylaminohydrolase type 2 (DDAH2) activity and an increase in asymmetric dimethylarginine (ADMA) results in nitric oxide synthase derived oxidative/nitrative stress and that this contributes to acute lung injury (ALI) in mice exposed to lipopolysaccharide (LPS). The mechanism by which DDAH2 is regulated is unknown and was the focus of this study. pp60Src is a member of the Src-family protein tyrosine kinases. In pulmonary arterial endothelial cells (PAEC) and the mouse lung, LPS increased ADMA-mediated NOS-derived superoxide and this correlated with an increase in pp60Src activation and DDAH2 inhibition. LPS also increased the interaction of pp60Src with DDAH2 resulting in increased DDAH2 tyrosine phosphorylation. In PAEC, the over-expression of a dominant negative mutant of pp60Src (K295MSrc) prevented the LPS dependent decrease in DDAH2 activity and the resulting increase in ADMA levels and attenuated the ability of LPS to stimulate NOS-derived superoxide and peroxynitrite generation. Further, the over-expression of a constitutively active pp60Src (Y527FSrc) either in PAEC or the mouse endothelium was sufficient to inhibit DDAH2 activity and increase ADMA levels. Y527FSrc over-expression also increased NOS-derived superoxide and peroxynitrite generation. Mutating the single tyrosine (Y) residue of DDAH II located at aa207 to phenylalanine (Y207FDDAH2) produced an enzyme that was resistant to pp60Src dependent inhibition. Together our data suggest that in ALI, the effects of LPS on DDAH/ADMA signaling and downstream NOS-derived oxidative stress are dependent on the pp60Src-mediated tyrosine phosphorylation of DDAH II at Y207.
Experimental validation of type-II tip-tilt control in a woofer-tweeter adaptive optics system (2010)

Woofer-Tweeter Adaptive Optics (AO) systems use two Deformable Mirrors (DM) with a single wavefront sensor (WFS) to correct for optical aberrations. The splitting of the DM commands derived from the WFS measurements must accommodate both the spatial and temporal bandwidth of the DMs. This paper reports on a woofer-tweeter experiment developed at the AO laboratory of the University of Victoria. This experiment uses a tip-tilt mirror as a woofer and a 9&times;9 CILAS PZT DM as a tweeter. The response of the woofer is slowed down in order to reproduce the behavior of the tip-tilt platform supporting the DM of the TMT/ NFIRAOS system. For this experiment, only the tip-tilt mode is considered, especially the off-loading of the low temporal frequencies of the tip-tilt mode from the DM to the slow tip-tilt mount is investigated. The closed-loop controller is a type II controller with a cascade of two integrators and a lead filter. The performance of this Woofer-Tweeter scheme as measured in the experiment is presented, and compared with the performance predicted by a hybrid Simulink model. The increased rejection achieved by the type II controller compared to a classical controller is quantified, as well as the increase in the associated noise propagation.

Synthese von Aryl- und Heteroarylisocyaniden aus Nitrosoverbindungen (1978)

Die Synthese von Isocyaniden durch thermische Zersetzung der Isoxazolone (1) in Lösung ist ein einfaches Verfahren, mit dem viele bisher unbekannte Aryl-und Heteroarylisocyanide in hohen Ausbeuten erhalten werden können. Durch Pyrolyse in der Gasphase lassen sich die Isocyanide zu den Nitrilen isomerisieren.

Elliptic and Hexadecapole Flow of Charged Hadrons inAu+AuCollisions atsNN=200  GeV (2010)

Differential measurements of the elliptic (v(2)) and hexadecapole (v(4)) Fourier flow coefficients are reported for charged hadrons as a function of transverse momentum (p(T)) and collision centrality or number of participant nucleons (N(part)) for Au+Au collisions at sq.rt(s(NN))=200 GeV. The v(2,4) measurements at pseudorapidity |η|≤0.35, obtained with four separate reaction-plane detectors positioned in the range 1.0<|η|<3.9, show good agreement, indicating the absence of significant Δη-dependent nonflow correlations. Sizable values for v(4)(p(T)) are observed with a ratio v(4)(p(T),N(part))/v(2)(2)(p(T),N(part))≈0.8 for 50≲N(part)≲200, which is compatible with the combined effects of a finite viscosity and initial eccentricity fluctuations. For N(part)≳200 this ratio increases up to 1.7 in the most central collisions.
The TREC experiments and their impact on Europe (1997)

Information retrieval (IR) research on text collections has concentrated on improving the effectiveness of the indexing and retrieval operations. For the most part, the evaluation of IR systems has been carried out on relatively small collections of documents, queries and relevance assessments. In 1992, the first of a series of evaluation exercises called TREC (Text REtrieval Conference) was launched in the USA and these exercises have continued annually since then. What makes TREC notable in IR research is that the document collections used are huge, compared to previous ones, and the groups participating in this collaborative evaluation represent a ‘who is who’ of IR research across the world. In this paper, we present an overview of TREC, the way it operates and the specialist ‘tracks’ it supports. We then concentrate on European involvement in TREC, examining the participants and the emergence of European TREC-like exercises.
Bone marrow transplantation for low-grade lymphoma and chronic lymphocytic leukemia. (1999)

Treatment of low-grade lymphoma and chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is a challenge for hematologists. The long physical history and the indolent nature of these diseases do not support the choice of aggressive treatment. However, regardless of the initial sensitivity of these diseases to chemotherapy and radiotherapy, relapse is inevitable and, therefore, treatment choice especially for younger patients is a serious decision. Intensive therapy followed by transplantation with purged autologous bone marrow or peripheral blood progenitor cells has been shown to be efficient in low-grade lymphomas. However, long-term follow-up study has shown a continuous pattern of relapses, many of which are due to the reinfusion of malignant cells, as well as a risk for the development of myelodysplasia and acute myeloid leukemia. Allogeneic bone marrow transplantation (BMT) is an attractive, promising alternative approach that eliminates many of these risks. Treatment of CLL with classical chemotherapeutic agents, as well as biological response modifiers has not provided any significant improvement in the long-term outcome and remission duration. Addition of autologous BMT (ABMT) or allogeneic BMT as a consolidation therapy is under study and might be a step toward a potential cure of this disease.
The bis(η5-cyclopentadienyl)methylzirconium(IV) methyltris(pentafluorophenyl)borate ion pair (2000)

The title complex, [Zr(CH3)(C5H5)2][CH3B(C6F5)3], crystallizes as an ion pair linked through an unsymmetrical methyl bridge. The bridging Zr—Me distance [2.556 (2) Å] is significantly longer than the terminal Zr—Me distance [2.251 (3) Å], while the Zr—C—B angle approaches linearity [169.1 (2)°].
Chlorofluorocarbons Alternatives Analysis, Part I: The Determination of HFC-134a Purity by Gas Chromatography (1992)

Characterization and determination of the impurities present in 1,1,1,2-tetrafluoroethane (HFC-134a) is critically important to the authenticity of toxicological test results and to the evaluation of HFC-134a as a suitable refrigerant for replacement of primarily Freon 12. Following impurity identification by molecular spectroscopic techniques, two gas chromatographic methods, one capillary and the other a combination packed column with flame ionization detection (FID), have been developed and are used to monitor the purity of HFC-134a samples prepared from various starting materials primarily for use in the Program for Alternative Fluorocarbon Toxicity Testing (PAFTT)-related toxicity studies. A sampling and calibration technique has been implemented and found suitable for a gaseous product containing volatile impurities with a comparatively wide range of boiling points. Carbon number substituent effects were estimated and are used to determine the amounts of impurities present for which pure compounds are not available.
Authority, the Law and the State (2002)

The constitutional debates of the 1860s unsettled the slumbers of the Earl of Salisbury. Watched by his alarmed wife, the Earl seemed to struggle with some nightmare. Still sleeping, he walked to the windows of his ancestral home, Hatfield House. Finally awoken, Salisbury explained that, in his dreams, he had been fighting with the Mob, and that it had seemed that 'the forces of democracy were trying to break into Hatfield House'.1 A similar set of anxieties gripped the waking consciousness of the early modern gentry and nobility. Writing to the Earl of Salisbury's distant ancestor in the winter of 1590, the Essex gentleman Sir John Smyth combined immediate fear with comparative history. He worried that in failing to hang plebeian criminals in sufficient numbers, the magistrates of Essex, 'under pretence of pity and mercy or favouring of life (as they call it)' were leading 'this realm to great danger'. That danger loomed within his historical consciousness: I will only make mention of the bellum servile that gave the Romans so much to do in the time they flourished most, the Jacquerie of France, and the dangerous rebellion of the peasants of Hungary … Commonly, the beginnings are very small and therefore lightly regarded, but once begun, they suddenly grow great, and then turn all to fire and blood.2
Neutralizing human monoclonal antibodies against Puumala virus, causative agent of nephropathia epidemica: a novel method using antigen-coated magnetic beads for specific B cell isolation (1993)

Human monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) against Puumala (PUU) virus were generated and characterized. Human spleen B lymphocytes were preselected for specific surface immunoglobulin (Ig) using magnetic beads coated with the viral glycoproteins, and subsequently immortalized by Epstein-Barr virus transformation. Four IgG-positive monoclonal lymphoblastoid cell lines (LCLs) were established and have remained stable MAb secretors for over 12 months. Analyses of the antigen and epitope specificities recognized by the MAbs showed overlapping binding patterns of four anti-glycoprotein 2-specific clones. Identical isotypes (IgGl lambda) and isoelectric points (9.2) of the four MAbs suggested that they were derived from the same original clone. The MAbs reacted with eight PUU virus-like strains, but were negative for Hantaan, Seoul, and Prospect Hill viruses in an immunofluorescence assay, indicating binding to a conserved epitope unique for strains associated with the European form of haemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome, nephropathia epidemica. The MAbs neutralized all investigated PUU virus-like strains in a focus reduction neutralization test. The MAb neutralizing activity was significantly enhanced in the presence of human or guinea-pig complement. To stabilize and increase antibody secretion and to reduce the demand for culture medium supplements (e.g. fetal calf serum), three of the monoclonal LCLs were fused with the non-secreting human x mouse partner SPAM-8. Several of the established human x (human x mouse) monoclonal triomas grew faster and produced larger amounts of MAbs when compared with the original LCLs.
Prebiotics, probiotics and digestive health (2012)

Trials of probiotics have been shown to be helpful in some of these, not in others, and more work is needed in others. We review recent work done in these areas.
Pristine Carbon‐Nanotube‐Included Supramolecular Hydrogels with Tunable Viscoelastic Properties (2013)

Research investigations involving pristine carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and their applications in diversified fields have been gathering enormous impetus in recent times. One such emerging domain deals with the hybridization of CNTs within hydrogels to form soft nanocomposites with superior properties. However, till now, reports on the inclusion of pristine CNTs within low-molecular-weight hydrogels are very scarce due to their intrinsic feature of remaining in the bundled state and strong repulsive behavior to the aqueous milieu. Herein, the synthesis of a series of amino acid/dipeptide-based amphiphilic hydrogelators having a quaternary ammonium/imidazolium moiety at the polar head and a C16 hydrocarbon chain as the hydrophobic segment is reported. The synthesized amphiphiles exhibited excellent hydrogelation (minimum gelation concentration (MGC) ≈0.7-5 % w/v) as well as single-walled carbon nanotube (SWNT) dispersion ability in aqueous medium. Interestingly, the dispersed SWNTs were incorporated into the supramolecular hydrogel formed by amphiphiles with an imidazolium moiety at the polar end through complementary cation-π and π-π interactions. More importantly, the newly synthesized hydrogelators were able to accommodate a significantly high amount of pristine SWNTs (2-3.5 % w/v) at their MGCs without affecting the gelating properties. This is the first time that such a huge amount of SWNTs has been successfully incorporated within hydrogels. The efficient inclusion of SWNTs to develop soft nanocomposites was thoroughly investigated by spectroscopic and microscopic methods. Remarkably, the developed nanocomposites showed manifold enhancement (≈85-fold) in their mechanical strength compared with native hydrogel without SWNTs. The viscoelastic properties of these nanocomposites were readily tuned by varying the amount of incorporated CNTs.

Inherited WT1 mutation in Denys-Drash syndrome. (1992)

Patients with the Denys-Drash syndrome (Wilms' tumor, genital anomalies, and nephropathy) have been demonstrated to carry de novo constitutional mutations in WT1, the Wilms' tumor gene at chromosome 11p13. We report three new cases, two carrying a previously described WT1 exon 9 mutation and one with a novel WT1 exon 8 mutation. However, unlike patients in previous reports, one of our three patients inherited the affected allele from his phenotypically unaffected father. This observation indicates that the WT1 exon 9 mutation affecting 394Arg demonstrated in over one-half of the patients with the Denys-Drash syndrome may exhibit incomplete penetrance. Consequently, familial studies in patients affected by this syndrome are recommended.
A Biomimetic Approach to Dihydrobenzofuran Synthesis (2001)

A method for an acid-catalyzed construction of dihydrobenzofuran heterocycles (14) from 2-(2'-hydroxyethyl)quinone precursors 10 is presented. The putative oxonium ion intermediate 17 formed by an intramolecular hydroxyl cyclization followed by dehydration is reduced in situ by an added dihydroquinone source. Good to excellent yields of cyclized products are realized in all cases except for highly electron deficient systems, and these suffer reduction prior to oxonium ion formation. All products are monomeric and derived from a two-electron transfer except for 10 g, which affords the dimeric dihydrobenzofuran. The amount of cyclization or reduction product is governed by the HOMO/LUMO gap between the quinone substrate and the dihydroquinone additive, and the product distribution can be adjusted by modifying the electronic properties of the added reducing agent.
Estimating informativeness of samples with Smooth Unique Information (2021)

We define a notion of information that an individual sample provides to the training of a neural network, and we specialize it to measure both how much a sample informs the final weights and how much it informs the function computed by the weights. Though related, we show that these quantities have a qualitatively different behavior. We give efficient approximations of these quantities using a linearized network and demonstrate empirically that the approximation is accurate for real-world architectures, such as pre-trained ResNets. We apply these measures to several problems, such as dataset summarization, analysis of under-sampled classes, comparison of informativeness of different data sources, and detection of adversarial and corrupted examples. Our work generalizes existing frameworks but enjoys better computational properties for heavily over-parametrized models, which makes it possible to apply it to real-world networks.
