Towards a software product line-based approach to adapt IaaS cloud configurations (2016)

Cloud computing is nowadays one of the most promising IT technologies, since it provides seemingly unlimited resources on demand at low costs. Hence, different types of applications have been migrated to IaaS environments, e.g. multi-tier (distributed) applications. However, in order to benefit from such characteristics, cloud configurations (i.e. virtual resource configurations) should be designed accordingly to the necessities of the applications. Furthermore, such configurations have to provide the required resources not only at the application deployment-time, but also during the whole application execution time. Hence, adaptive paradigms are required when designing solutions to cloud applications with dynamic resource requirements. Software Product Lines (SPLs) provide great flexibility and a high level of abstraction to describe complete system configurations. Even though SPLs are not commonly used to describe changes after an initial product (configuration) has been created, their inherent characteristics can enable producing the required virtual resource configuration to adapt applications after their initial deployment, i.e., at runtime. In this paper, we present an approach to create and adapt cloud configurations at the IaaS level by using SPLs. We focus on the architectural design of our solution as well as on the possible implementation challenges we could face.
Yogurt Containing <b><i>Lactobacillus gasseri</i></b> Mitigates Aspirin-Induced Small Bowel Injuries: A Prospective, Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Trial (2017)

This study enrolled 64 patients who received aspirin for more than 1 month and provided written informed consent to be part of the study. The patients received 112 ml of yogurt containing LG or placebo twice daily for 6 weeks. Small bowel injuries were evaluated by capsule endoscopy before and after consuming the yogurt. The effect of LG on patient symptoms was also assessed using the Frequency Scale for the Symptoms of Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (FSSG) and Gastrointestinal Symptom Rating Scale (GSRS) questionnaires before and after 6 weeks of treatment. There was no significant difference in any baseline characteristics and the number of small bowel mucosal breaks between the 2 groups. In contrast with the placebo group, the LG group had significantly fewer small bowel mucosal breaks and reddened lesions after 6 weeks (p < 0.01). The FSSG and GSRS scores were also significantly improved in the LG group but not in the placebo group. Key Messages: This double-blind, placebo-controlled study found that LG may be useful in reducing aspirin-induced small bowel injuries and in mitigating gastrointestinal symptoms.

Epitaxial growth of non-c-oriented SrBi2Nb2O9 on (111) SrTiO3 (2000)

Epitaxial SrBi2Nb2O9 thin films have been grown with a (103) orientation on (111) SrTiO3 substrates by pulsed-laser deposition. Four-circle x-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy reveal nearly phase-pure epitaxial films. Epitaxial (111) SrRuO3 electrodes enabled the electrical properties of these (103)-oriented SrBi2Nb2O9 films to be measured. The low-field relative permittivity was 185, the remanent polarization was 15.7 μC/cm2, and the dielectric loss was 2.5% for a 0.5-μm-thick film.
Magnetostriction of martensite (1998)

Abstract A general strategy is described for inducing magnetostriction in ferromagnetic martensitic materials. An analysis of domain redistribution caused by a magnetic field is given, and certain relations between material constants that promote this effect are described. These relations suggest a ‘constrained theory of magnetostriction’ which is used to predict strain against field in a tetragonal martensite subject to an orthogonal biaxial magnetic field and uniaxial stress. These predictions are compared with the corresponding experiments in Fe70Pd30. Reversible field-induced strains of 0.6% are exhibited in this system. Microstructural observations confirm that these strains are caused by a field-induced redistribution of martensitic twins.
Oligonucleotide analogues containing a C3′-NH-C(O)-CH2-C5′ amide internucleotide bond (2010)

A dinucleoside containing a C3'-NH-C(O)-CH(2)-C5' amide internucleoside bond was synthesized by the interaction of 3'-deoxy-3'-amino-5'-O-(tert-butyldimethylsilyl)thymidine with 3'-O-benzoyl-2'-O-tert-butyldimethylsilyl-5'-deoxy-5'-carboxymethylribosylthymine, which was obtained from 2'-O-acetyl-3'-O-benzyl-5'-deoxy-5'-ethoxycarbonylmethylribosylthymine through the methanolysis of the acetyl group followed by silylation and ester saponification. After standard manipulation with protecting groups, the dinucleoside was converted into 3'-O-(2-cyanoethyl-N,N-diisopropylphosphoramidite), which was used for the synthesis of modified oligonucleotides on an automated synthesizer. The melting curves of the duplexes formed by modified and complementary natural oligonucleotides were registered, and the melting temperatures and thermodynamic parameters of the duplex formation were calculated. The introduction of a single modified bond into the oligonucleotide led to an insignificant decrease in the melting temperature of these duplexes as compared to unmodified ones.
Impact of Viscosity Index Improvers (VII) on the formation of piston deposits in fuel economy engine oils (2019)

&lt;div class="section abstract"&gt;&lt;div class="htmlview paragraph"&gt;In the recent years, the achievement of fuel economy through lower viscosity engine oil has been a topic of wide discussions among experts in the industry. Along this journey of engine oil evolution, new classes of Viscosity Index Improver (VIIs) have been developed in order to meet the challenges arising from either hardware re-engineering, environmental protection or both. In relation to this, the continuous tightening of the CO&lt;sub&gt;2&lt;/sub&gt; emission level from the authorities has made the situation even tougher for many OEMs and formulators worldwide. While the fuel economy performance in an engine has been intensively investigated, little has been published on the durability aspects of these VIIs nor other aspects such as cleanliness and piston deposits. In this paper, we will present no-harm test results for deposit formation comparing novel comb polymers and conventional hydrocarbon VIIs such as OCPs. The formation of coke like deposits has been studied on low viscosity engine oils in both engine and bench tests. The results from the TDI engine test are compared with test results on the same fluids run in various screening tests such as Micro Coking test (MCT), Panel Coking test (PCT) and Komatsu Hot Tube test (HTT) and certain of these tests will be discussed in more detail.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
Inertial and geometrical properties of the human ossicles. (1992)

The principle volume moments of inertia and corresponding directions were numerically evaluated from three-dimensional reconstructions of the human ossicles. The location of the center of volume for each ossicle was also determined. Results were combined with average density measurements in order to estimate the principle mass moments of inertia. Surface data for the reconstructions were obtained in the form of parallel plane sections using computer-interfaced video microscopy. Between 500 to 1500 (x,y,z) surface data points were recorded for each ossicle. Computation of the inertial and geometrical properties was greatly simplified through the use of integral kernels selected to reduce the volume integrals to surface integrals. Average results for two adult subjects provide the mass, volume, and principle mass moments of inertia for the malleus as m=25.0 mg, V=13.5 mm3, I1=94.1 mg-mm2, I2=9.1 mg-mm2, and I3=15.4 mg-mm2. For the incus m=25.7 mg, V=15.5 mm3, I1=119.8 mg-mm2, I2=107.8 mg-mm2, and I3=36.4 mg-mm2; and for the stapes m=3.0 mg, V=2.24 mm3, I1=6.79 mg-mm2, I2=5.36 mg-mm2, and I3=1.82 mg-mm2. Ossicle reconstructions are graphically displayed to illustrate the directions of the principle axes and the location of the center of volume of each ossicle. The computer-based surface models are also valuable in visualizing the geometry of individual ossicles and in providing geometrical data for use in middle ear models and prosthetic design.

Myeloid cell‐specific β2AR deletion enhances cardiac hypertrophy and alters leukocyte behavior following pressure overload (2022)

As part of the sympathetic nervous system, immune cell‐expressed β2 adrenergic receptor (β2AR) plays an important role in regulating their responses to cardiac injury. We previously demonstrated that deletion of β2AR in all cells of hematopoietic origin resulted in decreased immune cell recruitment, cardiac repair and survival following acute myocardial infarction, however the impact of myeloid cell‐specific β2AR on chronic heart failure (HF)‐induced remodeling remain unknown. Thus, we examined the impact of myeloid cell‐specific β2AR deletion (Lyz2‐Cre x Adrb2 fl/fl (LB2) versus Adrb2 fl/fl (b2fl) mice) on transaortic constriction (TAC)‐induced HF. Despite a similar initial decline in ejection fraction (EF) at 4 weeks post‐TAC, LB2 mice displayed a better‐preserved EF versus b2fl mice at 8 weeks post‐TAC, which reached a comparable level by 16 weeks post‐TAC. The temporary improvement of cardiac function in the early stage following TAC may be related to an enhanced compensatory hypertrophy in LB2 mice. Indeed, left ventricle posterior wall thickness was higher in LB2 mice especially in the early stage after TAC (4‐8 weeks). This association with enhanced hypertrophy was also observed in an independent model of angiotensin II‐infused LB2 versus b2fl mice with higher expression of Nppa and Nppb observed in LB2 hearts. Via flow cytometry, we observed lower levels of total bone marrow‐derived leukocytes, inflammatory monocytes, macrophages and neutrophils in the hearts of LB2 versus b2fl mice at 16 weeks post‐TAC, whereas total myeloid cells seemed similar between the genotypes. Notably, among the macrophages present in the heart, there was a higher percentage of anti‐inflammatory CD206 + (reparative) macrophages in LB2 mice. In conclusion, these results show that myeloid cell‐specific β2AR regulates cardiac remodeling during the development of chronic HF, which may occur via modulation of the expansion and phenotypic modulation of distinct myeloid cell populations.
Facile and practical synthesis of β-carbolinium salts and γ-carbolinium salts via rhodium-catalyzed three-component reactions (2018)

A facile and practical [Cp*RhCl2]2-catalyzed three-component reaction between indolyl aldehydes, amines and alkynes involving C-H activation and cyclization has been developed. A series of β-carbolinium salts and γ-carbolinium salts are successfully afforded in good to quantitative yields under mild conditions. This efficient and convergent strategy provides a good choice for constructing the libraries of β-carbolinium salts and γ-carbolinium salts.
Predicting the emergence of drug-resistant HSV-2: new predictions (2003)

The predicted levels of drug-resistant HSV-2 for the immunocompetent population are so low that it seems unlikely that cases of drug-resistant HSV-2 will be detected.
High resolution patterning in chemically amplified resists: the effect of film thickness (2001)

As thin film imaging becomes an accepted means of producing high-resolution microelectronics features, a host of new challenges has emerged. A dose dependence on resist thickness has been observed and systematically measured for chemically amplified resists exposed with 75 keV electron beam radiation. The required dose to print 100nm images increased as the thickness of the film decreased. A physiochemical explanation for this dependence was sought which included exploring thickness-induced variations in thermal characteristics of the resist film. Over the range of film thickness examined, 80-360nm, these parameters were deemed unlikely contributors to this phenomenon. Ultimately the data suggests that the dose variation with thickness may correlate to differences in the population of chemically effective electron with energies in the range of 10 to 100 eV that are responsible for the sensitization of electron beam resists.
Ion and electron beam assisted growth of nanometric SimOn structures for near-field microscopy (2002)

We report the fabrication of nanometric, conformal, smooth dielectric coatings on the ends of apertureless near-field optical probes by both ion beam and electron beam assisted deposition techniques (IBAD and EBAD). The ion beam provides a higher SimOn growth rate than the electron beam, though the undesirable implantation of Ga ions may outweigh the benefits of rapid growth. Wavelength dispersive x-ray spectroscopy reveals that the electron beam deposited dielectric has a stoichiometry of SinO2n. We present two near-field optics applications of EBAD and IBAD grown dielectric layers. EBAD deposited coatings can be used to reduce fluorescence quenching in apertureless near-field scanning optical microscopy, while IBAD fabricated structures are suited for micro/nano-optics.
Extensive odontogenic keratocysts of the maxilla: Review of the literature and report of six cases (1997)

The clinical, radiological and histological features of six large maxillary odontogenic keratocysts are reviewed. Special treatment considerations for extensive maxillary lesions are discussed. Patient follow-up, including imaging studies, is important to allow the early detection and treatment of recurrent lesions when they are small and well localized.
An integrated, optically powered, optoelectronic 'smart' logic pixel for interconnection and computing applications (1993)

An architecture for optoelectronic interconnection and computing applications, based on the concept of supplying local power to several locations on a 2-D array of circuits using optical means, is described. Optical powering has the advantage of supplying power with reduced crosstalk while simplifying the layout complexity of the arrays. The concept is demonstrated using an integrated and optically powered optoelectronic smart logic pixel that operates variously as a thresholding amplifier, bistable switch/latch, and a signal inverter. The mode of operation is set by the intensity of an optical control beam, and the power is supplied by illumination of an integrated photovoltaic cell array. The circuits are integrated in the InGaAs(P) materials system, and have a bandwidth of 40 MHz, a data beam switching energy of 3.8 pJ, and an optoelectronic gain as high as 11. Analysis of circuit operation and fabrication, as well as comparisons with competing technologies for smart pixel interconnections, are discussed.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">&gt;</ETX>
Selection of the Alternative Exon 1 from the cd5 Gene Down-Regulates Membrane Level of the Protein in B Lymphocytes (2008)

The human cd5 gene has two alternative exons 1: exon 1A (E1A) which encodes the full-length (FL) CD5 protein and exon 1B (E1B) which encodes a truncated (TR) isoform. The FL variant of CD5 protein is translocated to the plasma membrane, while its TR variant is retained in the cytoplasm. Because there is an inverse relationship between the levels of FL-CD5 and TR-CD5 in B cells, we have addressed the issue of how the selection of exon 1 is determined. In leukemic B cells, DNA methyltransferase (DNMT)1-induced methylation of E1B prevents its transcription. Furthermore, the level of mRNA for DNMT1 correlates inversely with that of mRNA for CD5-E1B. However, suppression of E1B transcription is incomplete, and some molecules of TR-CD5 continue to be synthesized. Bortezomid-induced inhibition of the proteasome establishes that these TR-CD5 molecules are cleared through the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway. Transfection of CD5 mutants into COS-1 cells locates the ubiquitin-binding site at the second destruction box of the extracellular region of CD5. Activation of the B cells by anti-IgM, Staphylococcus aureus Cowan I (SAC), or PMA up-regulates DNMT1, and thereby CD5-E1A mRNA at the expense of CD5-E1B mRNA. Aberrant synthesis of TR-CD5 is thus offset by balanced degradation of excessive protein. Dysregulation of these mechanisms reduces the expression level of membrane CD5, and thereby diminishes the threshold of the response by cells expressing CD5.

An 850 mW SiGe power amplifier operating at X-Band (8.5-10.5 GHz) frequencies with over 11 dB of gain and 18% PAE is presented. This SiGe PA was implemented in a commercially-available, third-generation 130 nm 200 GHz SiGe BiCMOS platform using a hybrid high-breakdown / high-speed cascode pair to enhance voltage swing.
BARI, CITTA PUBBLICA MEDITERRANEA: I NUOVI PROGETTI DI VALORIZZAZIONE DEL PATRIMONIO PUBBLICO (2012)

The general frameworkThe debate on the concept of sustainable development and on the themes of urban upgrading closes a cycle that has lasted over twenty years during which contained consumption and reuse, in the broad sense, represented only one possible path in terms of the model created by the combination of growth/ energy that is still dominant (Morabito, 2010).However, now that reduced consumption has become the only possible path, the question has moved from 'what' to 'how' , and is focussed on research into models and strategies aimed at achieving, in an increasingly Bari, a public mediterranean city: new projects to valorise public heritage

Lipocortin‐1 autoantibody concentration in children with inflammatory bowel disease (1995)

It is therefore unlikely that serum antibodies to lipocortin-1 have a role in the development of steroid-resistance in children with inflammatory bowel disease.
Changes to the length of the flexible linker region of the Rieske protein impair the interaction of ubiquinol with the cytochrome bc1 complex (2000)

Crystal structures of the cytochrome bc1 complex indicate that the catalytic domain of the Rieske iron-sulfur protein, which carries the [2Fe-2S] cluster, is connected to a transmembrane anchor by a flexible linker region. This flexible linker allows the catalytic domain to move between two positions, proximal to cytochrome b and cytochrome c1. Addition of an alanine residue to the flexible linker region of the Rieske protein lowers the ubiquinol-cytochrome c reductase activity of the mitochondrial membranes by one half and causes the apparent Km for ubiquinol to decrease from 9.3 to 2.6 microM. Addition of two alanine residues lowers the activity by 90% and the apparent Km decreases to 1.9 microM. Deletion of an alanine residue lowers the activity by approximately 40% and the apparent Km decreases to 5.0 microM. Addition or deletion of an alanine residue also causes a pronounced decrease in efficacy of inhibition of ubiquinol-cytochrome c reductase activity by stigmatellin, which binds analogous to reaction intermediates of ubiquinol oxidation. These results indicate that the length of the flexible linker region is critical for interaction of ubiquinol with the bc1 complex, consistent with electron transfer mechanisms in which ubiquinol must simultaneously interact with the iron-sulfur protein and cytochrome b.

CT evaluation of periacetabular osteotomies (2000)

We have previously described a simple and reproducible three-dimensional technique of CT for the measurement of the cover of the femoral head in acetabular dysplasia in adults. We now describe the application of this technique in ten patients with symptomatic dysplasia to assess the degree and direction of dysplasia and to measure the cover obtained at acetabular osteotomy. The indices obtained gave a useful indication of the degree and direction of the dysplasia and confirmed which components had been used most efficiently to achieve cover. The information is easily presented in graphical form and gives a clearer indication of the cover obtained than the indices derived from plain radiographs.
