Impinging Jet Resonant Modes at Mach 1.5 (2013)

High speed impinging jets have been the focus of several studies owing to their practical application and resonance dominated flow-field. The current study focuses on the identification and visualization of the resonant modes at certain critical impingement heights for a Mach 1.5 normally impinging jet. These modes are associated with high amplitude, discrete peaks in the power spectra and can be identified as having either axisymmetric or azimuthal modes. Their visualization is accomplished through phase-locked Schlieren imaging and fast-response pressure sensitive paint (PC-PSP) applied to the ground plane.
Cockpit vision: enhanced communications with aircraft pilots via satellite (1993)

The term cockpit vision is meant to imply a threefold meaning: the introduction of visual displays, the resulting enhanced pilot vision of the aircraft environment, and the visionary application of technology to flight deck communications. The paper provides a conceptual outline of the application of emerging desktop computer video image capture, image compression, and compact high-resolution color display in the cockpit for the effective and efficient presentation of weather, air traffic control and other data to the pilot or flight crew. The contemporary improvement in satellite communications to aircraft, and deployment of improved weather collection and dissemination systems, coupled with a visual output display, makes a significant advance in operational communications possible. It shows through examples how visual output of graphics, including maps and imagery, could be used to advantage in the cockpit, not only to replace text, but to provide an improved systems interface to sensors providing real-time information.
Identification of Pasteurella multocida CHAPS-Soluble Outer Membrane Proteins (2008)

Fowl cholera continues to be of concern to the poultry industry, especially for turkey growers. This disease costs the turkey industry millions of dollars annually. In order to develop improved live attenuated vaccines or subunit vaccines, the outer-membrane proteins of Pasteurella multocida were examined with the use of proteomics. Of the 11 proteins total present in an outer-membrane subfraction of P. multocida, four additional proteins were identified, completing the composition of the detergent-soluble cross-protective protein fraction. These additional four proteins include protective bacterial surface antigen, OMA87 (Accession no. 15603857); heme-hemopexin receptor, HemR (Accession no. 15602441); lactate permease, LctP (Accession no. 15603717); and heptosyl transferase F, RfaF (Accession no. 15603709). Both the Oma87 and the HemR proteins would be of interest for subunit and modified live vaccine studies, respectively, because of their purported roles as virulence factors for P. multocida.
Enhanced Learning Through A "Virtual Laboratory" (2020)

This work reports on the effectiveness of a "virtual laboratory" for helping students transfer engineering theory to the design and building of a model truss. When students had only a series of lectures in strength of materials, statics, and structures, students were only marginally able to incorporate that knowledge into reasonable designs. But, , by additionally providing students with a graphic-based design tool that allowed them to think in terms of the geometry of the application (www.jhu.edu\virtlab\bridge\truss.htm), the designs improved dramatically. Two educational objectives were achieved with this virtual laboratory: integrating ideas from multiple disciplines; and providing physical insight into a problem that is typically treated through the abstraction of mathematics.
Application of the narrow band model for disorders ferromagnetic alloys to the solid solutions Fe1−xCoxS2 and Ni1−xCoxS2 (1975)

The narrow band model of Hubbard, generalized for random disordered alloys, is used to discuss the ferromagnetism in the pyrite solid solutions Fe1−xCoxS2 and Ni1−xCoxS2. This discussion is made within the coherent potential approximation for treating disorder.
[Immunocytochemical localization of cytochrome P-450scc in cultured rat oligodendrocytes]. (1989)

Primary cultures of glial cells from newborn rat forebrain were tested after 3 to 4 weeks. Oligodendrocytes and astrocytes were characterized by immunofluorescence with monoclonal antibodies to galactocerebroside and glial fibrillary acidic protein, respectively. The cytoplasm of oligodendrocytes was specifically and intensely immunostained with monospecific polyclonal antibodies to the cytochrome P-450scc involved in the synthesis of pregnenolone from cholesterol. This observation brings additional support to the concept of "neurosteroids".
Developing a Microcomputer‐Based Management InformationSystem (1989)

How management information is an essential requirement for assessing the performance of library services and how a management information system (MIS) fits into the overall framework of management in an organisation is described. Stages in the design of an integrated MIS are discussed in turn, including an analysis of organisational information needs at the senior, middle and operational management levels. An appendix lists the type of questions which could be used in structured interviews in the investigative phase of the system design. Performance measures and indicators are described with reference to the performance review process favoured by the Audit Commission for public libraries. Software and hardware for a typical system are described, including estimated costs.
Microstructural Analysis of DV – 2 Ni – Base Superalloy Turbine Blade after High Temperature Damage (2017)

High pressure turbine (HPT) blades of DV – 2 jet engines are made from Ni – based superalloy. This alloy was originally manufactured in the Soviet Union and referred as ŽS6K. For improving alloy's high temperature resistance are blades coated with Al – Si protective layer. A regular operation temperature of HPT blades vary from 705 °C to 750 °C. An overcrossing working temperature range causes degradation of the protective coating as well as base material. Article deals with such case, when working temperature of HPT blades were overcrossed and provide microstructural analysis of Al – Si coating and base material as well.

3D Localization for Sub-Centimeter Sized Devices (2018)

The vision of tracking small IoT devices runs into the reality of localization technologies --- today it is difficult to continuously track objects through walls in homes and warehouses on a coin cell battery. While Wi-Fi and ultra-wideband radios can provide tracking through walls, they do not last more than a month on small coin and button cell batteries since they consume tens of milliwatts of power. We present the first localization system that consumes microwatts of power at a mobile device and can be localized across multiple rooms in settings like homes and hospitals. To this end, we introduce a multi-band backscatter prototype that operates across 900 MHz, 2.4 and 5 GHz and can extract the backscatter phase information from signals that are below the noise floor. We build sub-centimeter sized prototypes which consume 93 μW and could last five to ten years on button cell batteries. We achieved ranges of up to 60 m away from the AP and accuracies of 2, 12, 50 and 145 cm at 1, 5, 30 and 60 m respectively. To demonstrate the potential of our design, we deploy it in two real-world scenarios: five homes in a metropolitan area and the surgery wing of a hospital in patient pre-op and post-op rooms as well as storage facilities.

Toxoplasmosis in the Compromised Host (1976)

In 81 cases of toxoplasmosis in patients with neoplasia, collagen-vascular disorders, and organ allografts, the clinical manifestations were highly variable but neurologic syndromes consistent with diffuse encephalopathy, meningoencephalitis, or cerebral mass lesions predominated. Many concomitant infections with DNA viruses were seen. The diagnosis of toxoplasmosis was not made until postmortem examination in most cases. Biopsy of lymph nodes or brain and serologic tests needed for definitive diagnosis were done infrequently. Twenty patients received antitoxoplasma chemotherapy (pyrimethamine and sulfonamide), 16 (80%) showing marked clinical improvement or complete remission. In immunosuppressed hosts disseminated toxoplasmosis appears to result from defects in cellular immunity that permit recrudescence of latent infection. Because cell-mediated immunity to Toxoplasma gondii can be enhanced in animals by administration of adjuvants, immunotherapy may become a useful adjunct to chemotherapy in immunoincompetent humans suffering potentially lethal infection.
Analysis of Relaxation Processes in a Multilevel System. A Many-Shot Expansion Technique (1965)

The relaxation of a gas of polyatomic molecules, excited to a particular energy, is analyzed in terms of a random walk through all relevant energy states to yield the various stable products. The quantum yield is taken as the probability of forming a given one of these products. This relaxation problem is solved by means of an asymptotic, natural expansion in terms of the events in the process which are physically the most significant. The first term in this many-shot expansion is the strong collision result. For nearly strong collision processes and nonequilibrium systems this many-shot expansion yields a rapidly converging series for an arbitrary ordered set of transition probabilities, and hence constitutes a computationally useful solution to the Pauli master equation for such a nonequilibrium system. The relaxation problem is analyzed in terms of some assumed sets of collisional transition probabilities, including a model that assumes statistical equilibration of vibrational energy in every collision complex. It is shown in an application to an actual laboratory system that such a highly efficient model predicts many-shot behavior only slightly stronger than some recently observed experimental results.

Immunization against Learned Helplessness in the Cockroach (Periplaneta Americana) (1990)

Cockroaches exposed to one day of escapable shock prior to three days of inescapable shock did not become helpless on a shuttlebox-escape task. Like dogs and rats, cockroaches are immunized against learned helplessness by prior experience with escapable shock.
An Alternative In Vitro Method for Examining Nanoparticle-Induced Cytotoxicity (2019)

Conventional in vitro assays are often used as initial screens to identify potential toxic effects of nanoparticles (NPs). However, many NPs have shown interference with conventional in vitro assays, resulting in either false-positive or -negative outcomes. Here, we report an alternative method for the in vitro assessment of NP-induced cytotoxicity utilizing Fluoro-Jade C (FJ-C). To provide proof of concept and initial validation data, Ag-NPs and Au-NPs were tested in 3 different cell cultures including rat brain microvessel endothelial cells, mouse neural stem cells, and the human SH-SY5Y cell line. Conventional 2,3-bis-(2-methoxy-4-nitro-5-sulfophenyl)-2H-tetrazolium-5-carboxanilide (XTT) and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) assays were run in parallel with the new method and served as references. The results demonstrate for the first time that FJ-C labeling can be a useful tool for assessing NP-induced cytotoxicity in vitro. Using these approaches, it was also demonstrated that removal of Ag-NPs-while keeping the Ag-ions that were released from the Ag-NPs in culture media-abolished the measured cytotoxicity, indicating that Ag-NPs rather than Ag-ions in solution contributed to the observed cytotoxic effects. Further, co-treatment of Ag-NPs with N-acetyl cysteine (NAC) prevented the observed cytotoxicity, suggesting a protective role of NAC in Ag-NP-induced cytotoxicity. Thus, this alternative in vitro assay is well suited for identify potential cytotoxicity associated with exposure to NPs.

MCT4 Expression Is a Potential Therapeutic Target in Colorectal Cancer with Peritoneal Carcinomatosis (2018)

Monocarboxylate transporters (MCT) are transmembrane proteins that control the lactate metabolism and are associated with poor prognosis in solid tumors, including colorectal cancer. Here, we aimed to investigate the biological and clinical role of MCTs in colorectal cancer and to assess the potential of therapeutic application. A total of 16 human colorectal cancer cell lines, 11 patient-derived cells from malignant ascites [patient-derived cells (PDC)], and 39 matched pairs of primary colorectal cancer and normal colorectal tissues were used to assess the role of MCT <i>in vitro</i> and <i>in vivo</i> siRNA methodology was used to determine the effect of MCT inhibition and molecular mechanism of hypoxia- and angiogenesis-related factors in addition to MCT4. The effect of MCT inhibition was confirmed in mouse xenograft models. MCT4 expression in surgical tissue was evaluated by IHC and used for survival analysis. Expression of MCTs was demonstrated in colorectal cancer cell lines. siRNA-mediated MCT silencing caused significant decline of cell proliferation both <i>in vitro</i> and <i>in vivo</i> An additive effect of MCT inhibition was induced by combined treatment with chemotherapy or radiotherapy. In particular, the expression of MCT4 was markedly increased in PDCs, and MCT4 inhibition significantly decreased PDC proliferation. Hypoxia-inducible factor 1-α (HIF1α) was also highly expressed in PDCs, whereas HIF1α knockdown reduced MCT4 expression and of other angiogenesis-related mediators. The patients with high MCT4 expression by IHC showed shorter relapse-free survival compared with low expression. These findings suggest that MCT4 may represent a new therapeutic target for colorectal cancer with peritoneal carcinomatosis and serve as a prognostic indicator. <i>Mol Cancer Ther; 17(4); 838-48. ©2018 AACR</i>.
Brain-Score: Which Artificial Neural Network for Object Recognition is most Brain-Like? (2018)

The internal representations of early deep artificial neural networks (ANNs) were found to be remarkably similar to the internal neural representations measured experimentally in the primate brain. Here we ask, as deep ANNs have continued to evolve, are they becoming more or less brain-like? ANNs that are most functionally similar to the brain will contain mechanisms that are most like those used by the brain. We therefore developed Brain-Score – a composite of multiple neural and behavioral benchmarks that score any ANN on how similar it is to the brain’s mechanisms for core object recognition – and we deployed it to evaluate a wide range of state-of-the-art deep ANNs. Using this scoring system, we here report that: (1) DenseNet-169, CORnet-S and ResNet-101 are the most brain-like ANNs. (2) There remains considerable variability in neural and behavioral responses that is not predicted by any ANN, suggesting that no ANN model has yet captured all the relevant mechanisms. (3) Extending prior work, we found that gains in ANN ImageNet performance led to gains on Brain-Score. However, correlation weakened at ≥ 70% top-1 ImageNet performance, suggesting that additional guidance from neuroscience is needed to make further advances in capturing brain mechanisms. (4) We uncovered smaller (i.e. less complex) ANNs that are more brain-like than many of the best-performing ImageNet models, which suggests the opportunity to simplify ANNs to better understand the ventral stream. The scoring system used here is far from complete. However, we propose that evaluating and tracking model-benchmark correspondences through a Brain-Score that is regularly updated with new brain data is an exciting opportunity: experimental benchmarks can be used to guide machine network evolution, and machine networks are mechanistic hypotheses of the brain’s network and thus drive next experiments. To facilitate both of these, we release Brain-Score.org : a platform that hosts the neural and behavioral benchmarks, where ANNs for visual processing can be submitted to receive a Brain-Score and their rank relative to other models, and where new experimental data can be naturally incorporated.
Efficacy of Transcatheter Arterial Chemoembolization (TACE) combined with sorafenib in the treatment of advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (2012)

This study investigated the efficacy and toxic effects of the combination of transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) with sorafenib in patients with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Thirty-five cases clinically diagnosed as having HCC were enrolled in the study from January, 2009 to December, 2010. All the patients received TACE combined with sorafenib (400 mg) twice per day. The tumour response was evaluated according to the modified Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumours (mRECIST) criteria following every 4 to 6 weeks. Moreover, safety and response were assessed. TACE in combination with sorafenib was successfully administered in 33 patients: mean age, 52.6 years; child’s A, 76%; Barcelona Clinic Liver Cancer (BCLC) stage C, 46%; and Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status of 0, 1 and 2, 27%, 64% and 9% respectively. Among the 33 cases that were evaluated, complete response was achieved in 2 cases, partial response in 14 cases, stable disease in 11 cases, and stable progressive disease in 6 cases. The total disease control rate was 81.8%, median time to tumour progression was 8.6 months, and time was 15.4 months. The most common toxicities were hand-foot skin reaction (63.6%), fatigue (60.6), and anorexia (54.5%). The combination of sorafenib and TACE in patients with unresectable HCC resulted in longer survival time. In addition, the treatment was well tolerated and safe.

X-band Transmission Evolution Towards DVB-S2 for Small Satellites (2016)

DVB-S2 is a CCSDS adaptation standard fully reusing the ETSI DVB-S2 mass-market telecommunication standard, thus providing the advantage of a wide diversity of very robust commercial mass market receivers, cheaper than the receivers dedicated to space telemetry links. CNES is currently upgrading with Syrlinks an existing X Band Transmitter for cube & nanosatellites (TRL 9) to use DVB-S2 CCSDS telemetry standard. The Variable Coding and Modulation (VCM) mode will provide 60% increase of the downloaded data compared to Constant Coding and Modulation (CCM), a link budget improvement of about 2 dB in QPSK for the same transmitted power and a better spectral efficiency.
Cytological Study of Cell Cycle of the Pathogenic Yeast Cryptococcus neoformans (2007)

Cryptococcus neoformans is an opportunistic human pathogen belonging to basidiomycetous fungi and has unique properties in cell cycle progression. The purpose of this study was to measure the duration of the cell cycle in this yeast. Under standard liquid culture conditions (1% yeast extract, 1% polypeptone, and 1% glucose; 24 degrees C; and 150 rpm), the doubling time of exponentially growing C. neoformans was 132 +/- 16 min (mean +/- standard deviation), and the durations of the G1, S, G2, and M phases were about 71, 18, 25, and 18 min, respectively. DNA synthesis started before bud emergence, and finished by the time the size of the bud became 1/4 that of the mother cell. The doubling time of the daughter cells was about twice that of the mother cells. The spindle pole body was located on the outer nuclear envelope and showed a duplicated form from the G1 phase to the G2 phase. These data form a basis for further cell cycle study of C. neoformans.
