AN IMPROVED GENETIC MAP FOR CASTANEA MOLLISSIMA/CASTANEA DENTATA AND ITS RELATIONSHIP TO THE GENETIC MAP OF CASTANEA SATIVA (2005)

We have added 275 AFLP and 24 SSR markers and the 5SrDNA locus to a previously published genetic map based on a hybrid cross between Castunea mollissima and C dentata. The SSR markers, 5SrDNA locus, and one isozyme locus also permitted us to correlate the linkage groups in the published genetic map of C. sativa with those in our C. milkimalC deniata map. Correlating the map of European chestnut with that of American and Chinese chestnut will allow greater progress in mapping important physiological and adaptive traits across species boundaries.
Erythropoietin‐stimulated endothelial cells support erythroid cell differentiation of CD34(+) haematopoietic progenitors (2013)

For the generation of erythroblasts from HPC, endothelial supernatants are a simple and cost-effective alternative to culture conditions based on cytokines.
Reduction of Dark Current in AlGaN–GaN Schottky-Barrier Photodetectors With a Low-Temperature-Grown GaN Cap Layer (2004)

AlGaN-GaN-based UV Schottky-barrier photodetectors with (i.e., sample A) and without (i.e., sample B) the low-temperature (LT) GaN cap layer were both fabricated. It was found that we could achieve a lower leakage current from sample A. Under reverse bias, it was found that sample A showed a dark current as low as 2/spl times/10/sup -11/ A at -5 V. In contrast, the dark current of sample B was at least one order of magnitude larger. With an incident light wavelength of 320 nm and a -1 V reverse bias, the measured responsivity was around 0.03 and 0.015 A/W for samples A and B, respectively.
Surveillance and control of the yarn input tension on circular weft knitting machines: new approaches (2005)

The yarn input tension - YIT is one of the most important parameters in weft knitting industry. This parameter must be maintained between limits in order to produce knitted fabric without faults. However, YIT is not the only parameter to control and monitor for preventing faults. The knitting elements and the knitting machine itself should be monitored to improve productivity and quality. The monitoring of the YIT can be used to detect the faults and at the same time controlled inside tight limits to prevent machine's premature stop due to yarn break. This paper presents the recent developments made for monitoring and control the YIT. A surveillance system is presented, a low cost force sensor is suggested to substitute the present industrial solutions, and a new actuator for control of the YIT is introduced.
Reducción del tiempo quirúrgico y de las complicaciones en el tratamiento endovascular con láser (2010)

En los últimos años se han realizado avances significativos en el tratamiento de la patología varicosa mediante la utilización del láser endovenoso. Esta técnica se realiza mediante la inserción de una fibra láser en el interior de la vena safena provocando su oclusión por descarga térmica previa aplicación de anestesia tumescente en todo el territorio a tratar. Entre las ventajas de esta técnica se encuentran no requerir anestesia general o raquídea, presentar un tiempo de intervención corto, y que es mejor tolerada por los pacientes. Reducir el tiempo quirúrgico de esta técnica sin modificar su eficacia ni efectividad, utilizando un método de protección del tejido perivenoso mediante la aplicación de frío externo evitando así la utilización de anestesia tumescente. Se han tratado un total de 12 pacientes. En todos ellos se registró su temperatura basal previa al tratamiento y durante la descarga láser. También registramos el tiempo quirúrgico medio y las complicaciones. La media de la temperatura basal previa a la descarga láser fue de 33 °C y la media de la temperatura durante el tratamiento láser fue de 40 °C. En cuanto al tiempo quirúrgico, obtuvimos una media de 30 minutos. No tuvimos ninguna complicación derivada del tratamiento. Por último, en el seguimiento a un año, se demostró una oclusión total del eje safeno tratado en todos los pacientes. La aplicación de nuestra modalidad de protección del tejido perivenoso safeno nos permite acortar el tiempo quirúrgico del tratamiento con láser. In recent years there have been significant advances in the use of endovenous laser in the treatment of varicose pathology. This technique is performed by prior application of tumescent anesthesia in the whole area to treat and then inserting a laser fiber inside the saphenous vein provoking its thermal occlusion. The advantages of this technique is that it does not require general or spinal anesthesia, has a short intervention time, and is better tolerated by patients. To reduce operating time of this technique without changing its efficacy and effectiveness, we used a method of perivenous tissue protection through the application of external cold, thus avoiding the use of tumescent anesthesia. We have treated a total of 12 patients. In all, basal temperature was recorded before treatment and during laser discharge. We also recorded the average surgical time and complications. The average baseline temperature before laser discharge was 33 °C, with an average of 40 °C during laser treatment. In terms of surgical time, an average of 30 minutes was achieved. There were no treatment-related complications. Finally, in the follow-up to one year, total occlusion of saphenous vein was demonstrated in all patients. The application of our method of perivenous saphenous tissue protection can shorten the operating time of laser treatment.
Code generation of nested loops for DSP processors with heterogeneous registers and structural pipelining (1999)

We propose a microcode-optimizing method targeting a programmable DSP processor. Efficient generation of microcodes is essential to better utilize the computation power of a DSP processor. Since most state-of-the-art DSP processors feature some sort of irregular architectures and most DSP applications have nested loop constructs, their code generation is a nontrivial task. In this paper, we consider two features frequently found in contemporary DSP processors — structural pipelining and heterogeneous registers. We propose a code generator that performs instruction scheduling and register allocation simultaneously. The proposed approach has been implemented and evaluated using a set of benchmark core algorithms. Simulation of the generated codes targeted towards the TI TMS320C40 DSP processor shows that our system is indeed more effective compared with a commercial optimizing DSP compiler.

Tachycardia Preconditions Infarct Size in Dogs (1998)

Tachycardia, in the absence of ischemia, mimics the preconditioning effect of ischemia in the dog. This effect is mediated by adenosine but not by changes in protein kinase C activity or its translocation.
An Updated Overview of the Emerging Role of Patch and Film-Based Buccal Delivery Systems (2021)

Buccal mucosal membrane offers an attractive drug-delivery route to enhance both systemic and local therapy. This review discusses the benefits and drawbacks of buccal drug delivery, anatomical and physiological aspects of oral mucosa, and various in vitro techniques frequently used for examining buccal drug-delivery systems. The role of mucoadhesive polymers, penetration enhancers, and enzyme inhibitors to circumvent the formulation challenges particularly due to salivary renovation cycle, masticatory effect, and limited absorption area are summarized. Biocompatible mucoadhesive films and patches are favored dosage forms for buccal administration because of flexibility, comfort, lightness, acceptability, capacity to withstand mechanical stress, and customized size. Preparation methods, scale-up process and manufacturing of buccal films are briefed. Ongoing and completed clinical trials of buccal film formulations designed for systemic delivery are tabulated. Polymeric or lipid nanocarriers incorporated in buccal film to resolve potential formulation and drug-delivery issues are reviewed. Vaccine-enabled buccal films have the potential ability to produce both antibodies mediated and cell mediated immunity. Advent of novel 3D printing technologies with built-in flexibility would allow multiple drug combinations as well as compartmentalization to separate incompatible drugs. Exploring new functional excipients with potential capacity for permeation enhancement of particularly large-molecular-weight hydrophilic drugs and unstable proteins, oligonucleotides are the need of the hour for rapid advancement in the exciting field of buccal drug delivery.

Long-acting beta-agonists have been shown to increase severe and life-threatening asthma exacerbations, as well as asthma-related deaths.
Porous dipeptide crystals as selective CO2adsorbents: experimental isotherms vs. grand canonical Monte Carlo simulations and MAS NMR spectroscopy (2012)

Molecular crystals of dipeptides containing open channels can selectively absorb CO2 over N2 and CH4, as shown by experimental and simulated isotherms. The efficient CO2 capture enabled separation from methane and allowed the direct observation by 2D MAS NMR of CO2 sequestered in the peptide-based biozeolites.
In vivo ultrasound imaging of macrophages using acoustic vaporization of internalized superheated nanodroplets (2022)

Ultrasound (US) not only detects but also interacts with its contrast agents, potentially allowing the use of perfluorocarbon-filled nanodroplets (NDs) or microbubbles (MBs) for both the detection and treatment of deep-seated tumors. Cells labeled using MBs to allow their detection in vivo with clinical ultrasound scanner presents several advantages over PET and MRI: Ultrasound is 2–3 orders of magnitude more sensitive and can detect a single acoustically labeled cell in vivo. Furthermore, with high ultrasound intensities, drugs or genes that are loaded on NDs or MBs can be delivered with spatiotemporal control. Although the acoustic labeling of stem cells for in vivo imaging using MBs has been reported, the ability to load and image internalized low boiling point NDs has not been explored yet. We used perfluorobutane NDs to acoustically label macrophages, which were viable following post internalization and ultrasound-mediated phase change. We documented that internalized NDs are stable for at least 8 h, which is needed for macrophages to accumulate to diseased sites. Labeled macrophage accumulated in the liver of healthy rats as stable intracellular NDs were vaporized into MBs using a clinical scanner (Siemens ACUSON Sequoia, 10L4 transducer at 4 MHz, 1.4 MI) and remained visible after vaporization.
A Comparison of Evolutionary Activity in Artificial Evolving Systems and in the Biosphere (1998)

Bedau and Packard [7] devised an approach to quantifying the adaptive phenomena in artificial systems. We use this approach to define two statistics: cumulative evolutionary activity and mean cumulative evolutionary activity. Then we measure the dynamics of cumulative evolutionary activity, mean cumulative evolutionary activity and diversity, on an evolutionary time scale, in two artificial systems and in the biosphere as reflected in the fossil record. We also measure these statistics in selectively-neutral analogues of the artificial models. Comparing these data prompts us to draw three conclusions: (i) evolutionary activity statistics do measure continual adaptive success, (ii) evolutionary activity statistics can be compared in artificial systems and in the biosphere, and (iii) there is an arrow of increasing cumulative evolutionary activity in the biosphere but not in the artificial models of evolution. The third conclusion is quantitative evidence that the artificial evolving sys...
High power DPDT antenna switch MMIC for digital cellular systems (2002)

In this paper, we propose two types of new DPDT switch GaAs JFET MMICs for digital cellular handsets. These ICs have excellent performances of low insertion loss and high power handling capability even with a low control voltage by stacking three JFETs with shallow Vp and using a novel bias circuit. One DPDT switch IC has two shunt FET blocks and can obtain high isolation without external parts. Insertion loss smaller than 0.6 dB and isolation over 25 dB up to 2 GHz were achieved. P1 dB was about 35 dBm even with the control voltage of 0/3 V. Another DPDT switch IC utilizes a parallel resonance of external inductor and parasitic capacitance between drain and source of OFF state FETs. By attaching 15 nH inductors, for example, the IC exhibited insertion loss as low as 0.4 dB and isolation of better than 40 dB at 1.5 GHz, and P1 dB was about 34 dBm with the 0/3 V control.
Characteristic switching-on and passive mode-locking times in a quantum-dash Fabry-P&#x00E9;rot laser diode (2012)

In this paper, we present the experimental investigation of the switching-on and passive mode-locking times of a Fabry-Pérot quantum dash laser diode. Their values are 30ns and 8ns respectively. These times are measured in order to study the phenomenon of mode-locking in this device and its potential application for packet switching networks.
Impact of Blinatumomab Treatment on Bone Marrow Function in Patients with Relapsed/Refractory B-Cell Precursor Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (2021)

Association of blinatumomab treatment with myelosuppression was examined in this study. Peripheral blood counts were assessed prior to, during, and after blinatumomab treatment in patients with relapsed/refractory Philadelphia chromosome-negative (Ph-) B-cell precursor (BCP) acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL; <i>n</i> = 267) and Ph+ BCP-ALL (<i>n</i> = 45) from the TOWER and ALCANTARA studies, respectively, or chemotherapy in patients with Ph- BCP-ALL (<i>n</i> = 109) from the TOWER study; all the patients with relapsed/refractory BCP-ALL and responders achieving complete remission (CR) or CR with partial/incomplete hematological recovery (CRh/CRi) were evaluated. Event-free survival (EFS) and overall survival (OS) were assessed in patients achieving CR and CRh/CRi. Median leukocyte, neutrophil, and platelet counts increased during two blinatumomab cycles but remained low longer after chemotherapy. Among the responders, there was a trend that a greater proportion of patients achieved CR with blinatumomab (Ph-, 76.5%; Ph+, 77.8%) versus with chemotherapy (Ph-, 63.6%). In the TOWER study, the survival prognosis for patients achieving CRh/CRi versus CR with blinatumomab was more similar (median OS, 11.9 (95% CI, 3.9-not estimable (NE)) vs. 15.0 (95% CI, 10.4-NE) months, <i>p</i> = 0.062) than with chemotherapy (5.2 (95% CI, 1.6-NE) vs. 18.9 (95% CI, 9.3-NE) months, <i>p</i> = 0.013). Blinatumomab treatment, with only temporary and transient myelosuppression, resulted in a greater survival benefit than chemotherapy.
Pd/FER vs Pd/SSZ-13 Passive NOx Adsorbers: Adsorbate-controlled Location of Atomically Dispersed Pd(II) in FER Determines High Activity and Stability (2020)

&lt;p&gt;Pd-loaded FER and SSZ-13 zeolites as low-temperature passive NOx adsorbers (PNA) are compared under practically relevant conditions. Vehicle cold-start exposes the material to CO under a range of concentrations, necessitating a systematic exploration of the effect of CO on the performance of isolated Pd ions for PNA. NO release temperature of both adsorbers decreases gradually with the increase of CO concentration from a few hundred to a few thousand ppm. This beneficial effect results from local nano-“hot spots” formation during CO oxidation. Dissimilar to Pd/SSZ-13, increasing the CO concentration above ~1,000 ppm improves the NOx storage significantly for Pd/FER, attributed to the presence of a Pd ions in FER γ-site that is shielded from NO&lt;sub&gt;x&lt;/sub&gt;. CO mobilizes this Pd atom to the NO&lt;sub&gt;x&lt;/sub&gt; accessible position where it becomes active for PNA. This behavior explains the very high resistance of Pd/FER to hydrothermal aging: Pd/FER materials survive hydrothermal aging at 800⁰C in 10% H&lt;sub&gt;2&lt;/sub&gt;O vapor for 16 hours with no deterioration in NOx uptake/release behavior. Thus, by allocating Pd ions to the specific microporous pockets in FER, we have produced very hydrothermally stable and active PNA materials with immediate practical applications.&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

Multicomponent VP/VS correlation analysis (1996)

Abstract An important step in the simultaneous interpretation or inversion of multicomponent data sets is to quantitatively estimate the ratio of P-wave velocity to S-wave velocity (VP/VS). In this endeavor, I have developed correlation techniques to determine long-wavelength components of VP/VS that can lead to more accurate measurements of rock properties and processing parameters. P-wave reflections are correlated with converted P- to S-wave reflections (or S-wave reflections) from the same location to determine which events are related to the same subsurface impedance contrasts. Shear waves are transformed (compressed) to P-wave time via average VP/VS conjugate operators before correlation. Aided by conventional P-wave velocity information and petrophysical relationships, this technique provides optimal VP/VS estimates in a similar manner that semblance analyses provide stacking velocities. These estimates can be used to transform the entire S-wave trace to P-wave time for short-wavelength amplitude inversion. Also, a target-oriented correlation analysis quantitatively determines interval VP/VS at a specific horizon or group of horizons. Data from vertical seismic profile (VSP) stacked traces are used to evaluate these techniques. Long-wavelength average and interval VP/VS estimates obtained from the correlation analyses agree closely with VP/VS results determined from VSP direct-arrival traveltimes.
New Aspects for Callus Production, Regeneration and Molecular Characterization of Ginger (Zingiber officinale Rosc.) (2013)

An in vitro regeneration and molecular characterization of ginger protocols were established. Augmentation of MS-medium with 3 mg/l 2,4-D recorded the best results of callus production from young and primordial leaves of ginger. However, fortified of MS- with 1.0 mg/l BAP achieved of indirect shoots regeneration. The biochemical distinguish of regenerated plants with ginger original rhizomes was carried out using SDS-PAGE of protein and RAPD-PCR techniques. The biochemical markers showed highly similarity between them.
Amorphous diamondlike carbon-silicon heterojunction devices formed by ion implantation (1992)

Amorphous carbon films grown onto silicon substrates and characterized as diamondlike have been ion implanted with boron and nitrogen to achieve p-type and n-type conductivity, respectively. Energies of 120 keV were used for the ion implantation. After isothermal heat treatment, the films revealed diode characteristics for both p-carbon/n-carbon and n-carbon/p-silicon structures. Current-voltage characteristics and capacitance-voltage curves show that the devices performed as heterojunctions between the carbon and the silicon. The difference between the currents for reverse and forward bias were as high as six orders of magnitude.
Natural language understanding for partial queries (2015)

Typical natural language understanding systems are built based on the assumption that they have access to the fully formed complete queries. Today's natural user interfaces, however, enable users to interact with various services and agents (e.g. search engines, personal digital assistants) running on desktop computers and laptops. The system is expected to understand the user's intent while the user is typing the query with the goal of increasing system response rate and ultimately improving the user's productivity. Language understanding models built on fully formed queries perform poorly when tested on partial or incomplete queries. In this study, we consider the problem of domain detection for typed partial natural language queries. We design two sets of features in addition to lexical features to train a multi-valued domain classification model. The first feature set consists of character n-gram features, and the second is the class-based features extracted from clustering of word embeddings. Our experiments show that the two feature sets improve the model's performance by up to 52.8% in comparison to the lexical n-gram baselines.
Toxoplasma gondii-altered host behaviour: clues as to mechanism of action (2010)

A convincing body of evidence now exists, from both human and animal studies, and encompassing epidemiological to experimental, to indicate that the common protozoan Toxoplasma gondii can cause specific behavioural changes in its host. Such behavioural alterations are likely to be the product of strong selective pressures for the parasite to enhance transmission from its intermediate host reservoir, primarily rodent, to its feline definitive host, wherein sexual reproduction can occur and the parasite's life cycle completed. Here we consider what the available data to date may reveal about the potential mechanisms involved, the future research that needs to be performed, and the subsequent implications for animal and human health.
Cathodoluminescence imaging of patterned quantum well heterostructures grown on nonplanar substrates by molecular beam epitaxy (1990)

We report cathodoluminescence (CL) imaging and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) studies of patterned GaAs/AlAs quantum well (QW) heterostructures grown by molecular beam epitaxy on periodically corrugated substrates. Faceting and surface diffusion during crystal growth result in significant lateral variations in QW thickness which translate quantum size effects into lateral band-gap patterning. The CL images directly display lateral periodic modulation in quantum well thickness and indicate the existence of two lateral potential wells formed at the bottom and apex of corrugations. Emission wavelengths are in agreement with TEM data on the patterned structures. Such periodic patterned QW heterostructures should be useful for the realization of arrayed one- and zero-dimensional semiconductor quantum structures, particularly lateral superlattice heterostructures.
