Principles and Precedents of Limited Naval Force (1981)

AT twenty minutes to four in the cold darkness of the morning of 14 February 1940, a Norwegian coastguard rang up the curtain on one of the classic dramas of gunboat diplomacy, perhaps the purest instance in recent times of the definitive use of limited naval force in isolation from all other means of pressure.KeywordsSecurity CouncilLimited CharacterAmerican InterventionTerritorial WaterLimited ForceThese keywords were added by machine and not by the authors.

Limitation of Liquid Crystal on Silicon Spatial Light Modular for Holographic Three-dimensional Displays (2004)

In a 3-D display system based on an opto-electronic reconstruction of a digitally recorded hologram, the field of view of such a system is limited by the spatial resolution of the liquid crystal on silicon (LCOS) spatial light modular (SLM) used to perform the opto-electronic reconstruction. In this article, the special resolution limitation of LCOS SLM associated with the fringe field effect and interpixel coupling is determined by the liquid crystal detector simulation and the Finite Difference Time Domain (FDTD) simulation. The diffraction efficiency loss associated with the imperfection in the phase profile is studied with an example of opto-electronic reconstruction of an amplitude object. A high spatial resolution LCOS SLM with a wide reconstruction angle is proposed.
Development of a Java library and extension of a data access layer for data access to non-relational databases (2014)

In the past years, cloud computing has become a vital part of modern application development. Resources can be highly distributed and provisioned on-demand. This fits well with the less strict data model of non-relational databases that allows better scaling. Many cloud providers have hosted NoSQL databases in their portfolio. When migrating the data base layer to a NoSQL model, the business layer of the application needs to be modified. These modifications are costly, thus it is desirable to design an architecture that can adapt to changes without tight coupling to third party components. In this thesis, we extend a multi-tenant aware Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) with Data Access Layer, modify the management application and implement a registry for the NoSQL configurations. Then, we design an architecture that manages the database connections that adds a transparency layer between the end-user application and non-relational databases. The design is verified by implementing it for blob stores including a Java access library that manages the access from local applications to the ESB. Additionally, we evaluate component by measuring the performance in several use scenarios and compared the results to the performance of the vendor SDKs.

Critical soliton speed for quantum reflection by a reflectionless potential well (2021)

We consider the scattering of the nonlinear Schrödinger equation bright soliton by a reflectionless Pöschl-Teller potential well. We show that at the sharp transition between quantum reflection and full transmission, a single-node bound state localized at the center of the potential forms and is fully occupied. The profile and energy of the trapped mode are calculated both numerically and analytically using a variational calculation. The critical speed for quantum reflection is then determined from a delicate balance between the energy of the incident soliton and the energy of the trapped mode. We investigate the stability of the trapped mode against perturbations in its profile and position which explains the sharpness of the transition and sheds some light on the physics of quantum reflection. We show that quantum reflection by exciting the multinode trapped modes is also possible.

Abstract Die Untersuchung der Komplexe (I)‐(V) zeigt, daß die Racemisierungsgeschwindigkeiten von L‐Alanin in diesen Co(III)‐Komplexen direkt proportional der Ladung der Komplexe von einer ‐ 2‐ über 0 zu einer + 2‐Ladung sind.

Detection of antibodies in serum and cerebrospinal fluid to Toxoplasma gondii by indirect latex agglutination test and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (1992)

Sensitivity of anti-Toxoplasma antibody (IgG) test by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was evaluated in comparison with indirect latex agglutination (ILA) using 2,016 paired human samples of serum and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). The samples were collected from neurologic patients in Korea with mass lesions in central nervous system (CNS) as revealed by imaging diagnosis (CT/MRI). When the sera were screened for anti-Toxoplasma antibody by ILA, 76 cases(3.8%) were positive (1:32 or higher titers). In the paired samples of CSF, no positive reactions were observed. When ELISA was performed using PBS extract of Percoll purified tachyzoites as antigen, cut-off absorbance was determined as 0.40 for serum and 0.27 for CSF tests. The antibody positive rates by ELISA were 7.0% in serum and 5.6% in CSF. Of them, 40 cases (2.0%) showed positive reactions in both serum and CSF. The antibody positive rates were higher in groups older than 40 years. The rates were higher in male (4.7% by ILA, 8.3% by ELISA) than in female (2.2% by ILA, 5.0% by ELISA). The rates in CSF showed no such sex difference. ELISA showed twice higher positive rates when serum was tested, and was sensitive enough to detect specific antibodies in CSF. Etiologic relations between positive antibody tests and CNS lesions remained unknown.
Preparation of Microcapsules Containing Benzoyl Peroxide Initiator with Gelatin-Gum Arabic/Polyurea-Formaldehyde Shell and Evaluating Their Storage Stability (2017)

This work involves the optimized preparation and characterization of microcapsules which contain benzoyl peroxide (BPO) dispersed in dibutyl phthalate (DBP) with gelatin-gum arabic (Gel-GA)/polyurea-formaldehyde (PUF) shell. The microcapsules were prepared in two steps using complex coacervation and in situ polymerization techniques, respectively, at various mixing speeds and different core:shell ratios. The scanning electron microscopy (SEM), optical microscopy, and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy were used for characterization of prepared microcapsules. The resultant microcapsules were spherical with average diameters about 120-200 μm, had no intercapsule bonding, and had thicknesses of 0.7-1.5 μm. The results revealed high core content loading, 82-89 wt % for microcapsules prepared at various mixing speeds. The differential scanning calorimetry analysis (DSC) indicated that the encapsulated BPO was not influenced by the encapsulation process and maintained its activity. Moreover, with a compact and double Gel-GA/PUF shell, the microcapsules were stable, and no leakage of core material in an acrylate-based resin and toluene as an organic solvent was recorded. The resultant microcapsules have the potential of usage in industries such as self-healing systems and structural adhesives where the impermeability of microcapsules is an important factor.
Inflammation enhances the vaccination potential of CD40‐activated B cells in mice (2016)

Vaccination with antigen-pulsed CD40-activated B (CD40-B) cells can efficiently lead to the in vivo differentiation of naive CD8<sup>+</sup> T cells into fully functional effectors. In contrast to bone marrow-derived dendritic cell (BMDC) vaccination, CD40-B cell priming does not allow for memory CD8<sup>+</sup> T-cell generation but the reason for this deficiency is unknown. Here, we show that compared to BMDCs, murine CD40-B cells induce lower expression of several genes regulated by T-cell receptor signaling, costimulation, and inflammation (signals 1-3) in mouse T cells. The reduced provision of signals 1 and 2 by CD40-B cells can be explained by a reduction in the quality and duration of the interactions with naive CD8<sup>+</sup> T cells as compared to BMDCs. Furthermore, CD40-B cells produce less inflammatory mediators, such as IL-12 and type I interferon, and increasing inflammation by coadministration of polyriboinosinic-polyribocytidylic acid with CD40-B-cell immunization allowed for the generation of long-lived and functional CD8<sup>+</sup> memory T cells. In conclusion, it is possible to manipulate CD40-B-cell vaccination to promote the formation of long-lived functional CD8<sup>+</sup> memory T cells, a key step before translating the use of CD40-B cells for therapeutic vaccination.

High-Gain Active Composite Right/Left-Handed Leaky-Wave Antenna (2006)

A novel high-gain active composite right/left-handed (CRLH) metamaterial leaky-wave antenna (LWA) is presented. This antenna, which is designed to operate at broadside, is constituted by passive CRLH leaky-wave sections interconnected by amplifiers, which regenerate the power progressively leaked out of the structure in the radiation process in order to increase the effective aperture of the antenna and thereby its gain. The gain is further enhanced by a matching regeneration effect induced by the quasi-unilateral nature of the amplifiers. Both the cases of quasi-uniform and binomial field distributions, corresponding to maximum directivity and minimum side-lobe level, respectively, have been described. An active LWA prototype is demonstrated in transmission mode with a gain enhancement of 8.9 dB compared to its passive counterpart. The proposed antenna can attain an arbitrarily high gain by simple increase of the length of the structure, without penalty in terms of return loss and without requiring a complicated feeding network like conventional array antennas
Assessing Methods for College Football Rankings (2009)

With the advent of the Bowl Championship Series (BCS) much emphasis has been placed on ranking teams. We consider several mathematical methods for ranking college football teams based on point differential including least squares with fixed or mixed effects. We also consider the use of modifications such as truncating or censoring (such as Harville's method) the result to adjust for the possibility of teams running up the score. We assess the predictive performance of these models using leave-one-out cross validation. The methods and analyses are applied to all major NCAA football data from 1930-2007.

Magneto-Optic Interactions. (1973)

Abstract : The most promising approaches for bubble domain sensing are (1) magneto-resistive detectors (MRD), and (2) magneto-optical detectors (MOD). These two types of detectors are the subject of the report. For MOD a garnet film with high Faraday Rotation (FR) is desirable. Data are presented showing the effect of Bi-doping on the FR of YIG. Data are also presented on the FR of a large number of other rare earth iron garnets. The data indicate that a lens-less all-solid-state MOD is feasible using an edge-emitting light-emitting diode of GaAs:Al and a bubble film of Bi3-2xCa2xVxFe5-x012 (x approximately 1.1) grown on a nonmagnetic garnet substrate such as Sm3Ga5012:In, or a Bi-containing LPE film on a Gd3Ga5012 substrate. For a MRD, the advantageous design is one that utilizes a chevron expander with the detector formed by interconnecting the chevrons in a column to form a staggered continuous circuit. The permalloy thickness for the detector should be the same as that for the propagation elements. (Author)
Recent advances in microdevices for transportation industry (2011)

Advances in emerging technologies of microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) and nanotechnology, especially relating to the applications, constitute one of the most challenging tasks in today's micromechanics and nanomechanics. In addition to design, analysis, and fabrication capabilities, this task also requires advanced test methodologies for determination of functional characteristics of devices produced to enable verification/validation of their operation, as well as refinement and optimization of specific designs. In particular, development of microdevices requires sophisticated tools, especially as these devices apply to transportation industry because of stringent safety and reliability requirements. These tools can be categorized as analytical, computational, and experimental. Solutions using the tools from any one category alone do not usually provide necessary information on MEMS, and extensive merging, or hybridization, of the tools from different categories is used. One of the approaches employed in this development of structures of contemporary interest is based on a combined use of the analytical, computational, and experimental solutions methodology. Development of this methodology was made possible by recent advances in optoelectronic methodology, which was coupled with the state-of-the-art computational methods, to offer a considerable promise for effective development of various designs. This approach facilitates characterization of dynamic and thermomechanical behavior of the individual components, their packages, and other complex material structures.In this paper, recent advances in optoelectronic methodology for microscale measurements are described and their use is illustrated with representative examples.
Skin blood flow in different ambient temperatures at rest and during exercise. (1985)

Four relatively fit young men performed duplicate 50-min bouts of experiment including rest and cycle ergometer exercise of 100W and 150W in ambient temperatures of 25°C and 40°C. To study responses of skin blood flow in different ambient temperatures during exercise as compared with those at rest, forearm blood flow (FBF) and rectal temperature (Tr) were measured. In each case, rising Tr throughout the period of experiments was observed. The linear relationship between FBF and Tr shown in all subjects was unaltered by the ambient temperature, and was altered by the intensity of work. We concluded that the higher body temperature results in more skin blood flow at a level of work load and that the higher intensity of work the less skin blood flow at a given body temperature.

Microstructure, mechanical properties and corrosion of friction stir welded 6061 Aluminum Alloy (2015)

The microstructure, mechanical properties, and corrosion behavior of friction stir welded (FSW) AA6061 aluminum alloys were investigated. Dynamic recrystallized structures were observed and grain sizes of nugget zone (NZ), thermomechanically-affected zone (TMAZ), heat-affected zone (HAZ), and base material (BM) were different. Hardness test indicated that the minimum and maximum hardness values wereobtained in the HAZ and BM, respectively. Tensile results showed that fracture occurred in the relatively weak regions in between TMAZ and HAZ. Polarization tests illustrated that the FSW process improved the corrosion resistance of AA6061-AA6061 and the HAZ had better corrosion resistance than other regions. Raman characterizations revealed that aluminum hydroxide was the main corrosion product formed on Al after immersion experiments. Intergranular attack was observed in the NZ and downside by scanning electron microscopy.
Chronic proliferative hepatitis in A/JCr mice associated with persistent Helicobacter hepaticus infection: a model of helicobacter-induced carcinogenesis (1996)

Helicobacter hepaticus causes hepatitis in selected strains of mice and in A/JCr mice is linked to liver cancer. To analyze whether H. hepaticus persists in specified ecological niches, to determine whether biomarkers of infection exist, and to analyze the influence of H. hepaticus on hepatocyte proliferation, a longitudinal study of H. hepaticus-infected A/JCr mice was undertaken. A/JCr mice were serially euthanatized from 3 through 18 months and surveyed by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay; bacterial culture of liver, colon, and cecum; histology; electron microscopy; hepatocyte proliferation indices determined by using 5-bromo-2'-deoxyuridine; and measurement of the liver enzyme alanine aminotransferase. In infected animals throughout the 18-month study, H. hepaticus was consistently isolated from the lower bowel but only sporadically from the liver. By electron microscopy, H. hepaticus was noted infrequently and only in bile canaliculi. Infected mice, particularly males, showed chronic inflammation; oval cell, Kupffer cell, and Ito cell hyperplasia; hepatocytomegaly; and bile duct proliferation. The inflammatory and necrotizing lesion was progressive and involved the hepatic parenchyma, portal triads, and intralobular venules. Hepatic adenomas were noted only in male mice, whereas 5-bromo-2'-deoxyuridine proliferation indices were markedly increased in both sexes, but especially in males, compared to control A/J mice. Infected mice also developed sustained anti-H. hepaticus serum immunoglobulin G antibody responses and elevated alanine aminotransferase levels. H. hepaticus, which persists in the lower bowels and livers of A/JCr mice, is associated with a chronic proliferative hepatitis, and hepatomas in selected male mice indicate that this novel bacterium may cause an increased risk of hepatic cancer induction in susceptible strains of mice. This murine model should prove useful in dissecting the molecular events operable in the development of neoplasms induced by bacteria belonging to this expanding genera of pathogenic Helicobacter species.
Phase Engineering of Subwavelength Unidirectional Plasmon Launchers (2013)

Ultrasmall couplers for the excitation of plasmonic structures by photonic modes are presented. They are constructed by assembling point-like resonators in the near-field zone of the target structure. As a demonstration of its efficacy, this scheme is applied to unidirectional excitation of plasmonic waveguides. The overall footprint of the resulting coupling structures is less than λ2/10.
Cycle-Based Neighbourhoods for Fixed-Charge Capacitated Multicommodity Network Design (2003)

We propose new cycle-based neighbourhood structures for metaheuristics aimed at the fixed-charge capacitated multicommodity network design formulation. The neighbourhood defines moves that explicitly take into account the impact on the total design cost of potential modifications to the flow distribution of several commodities simultaneously. Moves are identified through a shortest-pathlike network optimization procedure and proceed by redirecting flow around cycles and closing and opening design arcs accordingly. These neighbourhoods are evaluated and tested within a simple tabu search algorithm. Experimental results show that the proposed approach is quite powerful and outperforms existing methods reported in the literature.
An Electrochromic Painter’s Palette: Color Mixing via Solution Co-Processing (2015)

Electrochromic polymers (ECPs) have been shown to be synthetically tunable, producing a full palette of vibrantly colored to highly transmissive polymers. The development of these colored-to-transmissive ECPs employed synthetic design strategies for broad color targeting; however, due to the subtleties of color perception and the intricacies of polymer structure and color relationships, fine color control is difficult. In contrast, color mixing is a well-established practice in the printing industry. We have identified three colored-to-transmissive switching electrochromic polymers, referred to as ECP-Cyan (ECP-C), ECP-Magenta (ECP-M), and ECP-Yellow (ECP-Y), which, via the co-processing of multicomponent ECP mixtures, follow the CMY color mixing model. The presented work qualitatively assesses the thin film characteristics of solution co-processed ECP mixtures. To quantitatively determine the predictability of the color properties of ECP mixtures, we estimated mass extinction coefficients (εmass) from solution spectra of the CMY ECPs and compared the estimated and experimentally observed color values of blends via a calculated color difference (ΔEab). The values of ΔEab range from 8 to 26 across all mixture compositions, with an average value of 15, representing a reasonable degree of agreement between predicted and observed color values. We demonstrate here the ability to co-process ECP mixtures into vibrantly colored, visually continuous films and the ability to estimate the color properties produced in these mixed ECP films.
