A method for improving temperature measurement accuracy on an infrared thermometer for the ambient temperature field (2020)

In order to improve the accuracy of an infrared thermometer, the main uncertainty sources of the system are analyzed and a compensation function is established on the basis of these corrections. The verification experiments are carried out by using a self-developed infrared thermometer and a blackbody. The experimental results indicate that the compensation function can reduce the infrared thermometer expanded uncertainty from ±3.6 °C to ±1.9 °C in the temperature range of -40 °C to 60 °C. This method can effectively improve the temperature measurement accuracy of an ambient temperature infrared thermometer in its measurement range.
Topological and non-reciprocal photonics (Conference Presentation) (2017)

In this talk, we will review our recent progress towards the concept, design and realization of magnet-free non-reciprocal photonic devices and arrays of them with strong topological protection, aimed at realizing reconfigurable, broadband isolators and circulators. We will discuss our approaches to design topological photonic metasurfaces based on spatio-temporal modulation, nonlinearities, and/or opto-mechanical interactions, and discuss our vision towards new transport phenomena for light, and new nanophotonic devices with enhanced non-reciprocal properties.
Cognitive Radios for Spectrum Sharing (2009)

Wireless systems require spectrum to operate, but interference is likely if radios in physical proximity simultaneously operate on the same band. Therefore, spectrum is a potentially scarce resource; across the planet today, spectrum is regulated so that most bands are allocated exclusively to a single system licensed to use that band in any given location. However, such static spectrum allocation policies lead to significant underuse of spectrum [1]. This can be viewed as a kind of regulatory overhead that is paid to get reliable operation. With frequency-agile radios becoming commercially feasible within the next 5-10 years, Cognitive Radio is about making such radios smart enough to share spectrum and reduce the regulatory overhead. This is an impending wireless revolution that draws upon many signal-processing areas including robust detection, sensor networks, as well as the design of incentives and waveforms. This is a short column touching on the issues; further technical details/references can be found in [2]. THE OPPORTUNITY IN THE TELEVISION BANDS Right now, there is significant excitement surrounding the broadcast television bands. The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has started considering dynamic approaches for spectrum sharing and the IEEE has launched the 802.22 standards process to use TV-band spectrum holes for enabling wide-area Internet service [3], [4]. This context is illustrated in Figure 1.
Third Metacarpal Dorsal Stress Fractures (2019)

Metacarpal stress fractures are a complication and consequence of the “bucked shin complex,” and are a frequent occurrence in three-year-old Thoroughbred race horses. Stress fractures are usually detected in three year-olds and may represent the effect of stress accumulation and sudden increase in porosity associated with a return to training. History and clinical examination indicate tenderness or soreness of the left or both third metacarpal bones following high-speed work. An understanding of the etiology, pathomechanics, and pathogenesis of bone fatigue failure in the Thoroughbred racehorse would be helpful in determining treatment modalities and training regimens. Stress fractures are usually seen six months to one year following the initial bucked shin problem. Nonsurgical treatments involve controlled exercise, directed at trying to remodel bone and heal the fracture. The timing of return to exercise and racing is a difficult decision for those involved in both the surgical and nonsurgical treatment of these incomplete cortical fractures.
Circulating 25-Hydroxy-Vitamin D and Risk of Cardiovascular Disease (2012)

This meta-analysis demonstrated a generally linear, inverse association between circulating 25(OH)-vitamin D ranging from 20 to 60 nmol/L and risk of CVD. Further research is needed to clarify the association of 25(OH)-vitamin D higher than 60 nmol/L with CVD risk and assess causality of the observed associations.
Classification of Avian Paramyxoviruses by Immunodiffusion on the Basis of Antigenic Specificity of their M Protein Antigens (1981)

Seventeen avian paramyxoviruses consisting of ten reference strains and seven recent isolates were classified by immunodiffusion into six species on the basis of the antigenic specificity of their M protein (MP) antigens. The species were represented by the following viruses. (1) Newcastle disease virus, (2) Chicken/California/Yucaipa/56, (3) Turkey/Wisconsin/68, (4) Duck/Mississippi/75, (5) Pigeon/Otaru/76 and (6) Budgerigar/Kunitachi/1/74. The differences in the HN antigens between viruses which were classified into the same species on the basis of the antigenic specificity of their MP antigens, may provide a basis for classifying them into types.
Apoptosis and necrosis. Basic types and mechanisms of cell death. (1993)

Apoptosis and necrosis are two fundamental types of cell death. Current knowledge indicates that the key mechanism of apoptosis is endonuclease activation leading to internucleosomal double-stranded chromatin (DNA) breaks, whereas the key mechanism of necrosis is cell membrane damage. The initial alterations of cellular metabolism and electrolyte homeostasis induced by an injurious agent may activate at least four major pathways leading to loss of membrane integrity: membrane phospholipid degradation, production of amphipathic lipids, damage to the cytoskeleton, and generation of toxic oxygen species and free radicals. These insights point the way for further research to establish definitive causes of specific types of cell injury and cell death, and they provide important clues for the design of improved diagnostic approaches and therapeutic interventions.
Silicone-protein interactions (1999)

Novel organofunctional silicones have been proposed as materials for the formulation of protein delivery systems. The efficacy of such systems to deliver proteins orally, without loss of their activity has been demonstrated. Furthermore, normal (non-functional) silicones failed in exhibiting an analogous protein protective role. The functionality on these novel silicones was obviously crucial in formulating efficient protein carriers. Therefore, the interaction of these organofunctional silicones with proteins has been examined against normal silicones. The extent and strength of the silicone-protein interaction has been revealed from model surface studies at solid/liquid interfaces and also from emulsion stability studies at liquid/liquid interfaces. It has been suggested that the silicone functionality facilitates the interaction between the two species while it may also lead to self crosslinking of the silicone chains using the protein as a template. Finally, evidence of the effect of liquid silicones on the protein biological integrity has been obtained to further prove, from a biological perspective, the suitability of liquid silicone-based delivery systems.
Test Migration Between Mobile Apps with Similar Functionality (2019)

The use of mobile apps is increasingly widespread, and much effort is put into testing these apps to make sure they behave as intended. To reduce this effort, and thus the overall cost of mobile app testing, we propose APPTESTMIGRATOR, a technique for migrating test cases between apps in the same category (e.g., banking apps). The intuition behind APPTESTMIGRATOR is that many apps share similarities in their functionality, and these similarities often result in conceptually similar user interfaces (through which that functionality is accessed). APPTESTMIGRATOR leverages these commonalities between user interfaces to migrate existing tests written for an app to another similar app. Specifically, given (1) a test case for an app (source app) and (2) a second app (target app), APPTESTMIGRATOR attempts to automatically transform the sequence of events and oracles in the test for the source app to events and oracles for the target app. We implemented APPTESTMIGRATOR for Android mobile apps and evaluated it on a set of randomly selected apps from the Google Play Store in four different categories. Our initial results are promising, support our intuition that test migration is possible, and motivate further research in this direction.
Implementación de una suspensión neumática con control en un vehículo (2013)

Vehicles with air suspension are greatly appreciated as it is a step forward in the automotive and improving vehicle performance in all areas. In the mechanical, improves vehicle stability, its acceleration and braking resistance exerted by the suspension is high and vehicle performance improvement. In the comfort, the vehicle improves its commitment to give users mobility much more smoothly and more securely, as users enjoy when handling remain calm and patiently. For these reasons the suspension delivers a step forward in the automotive, this damping system is very used by the high range and vehicles for mass transportation of people. The pneumatic suspension are: an adjustment made by a button on the panel or remote control, this suspension can be adjusted at any time when the vehicle is stationary or full motion, the adjustment may be only in the front or only in the back, or both at the same time, which is a benefit for users because depending on the circumstances can alter the height of the vehicle without damaging it.
Characterization of the Fructosyltransferase Gene of Actinomyces naeslundii WVU45 (2000)

Oral actinomycetes produce fructosyltransferase (FTF) enzymes which convert sucrose into polymers of D-fructose, known as levans, and these polymers are thought to contribute to the persistence and virulence of the organisms. A gene encoding FTF was isolated from Actinomyces naeslundii WVU45; the deduced amino acid sequence showed significant similarity to known levansucrases of gram-negative environmental isolates but was less similar to FTFs from gram-positive bacteria. A transcriptional start site was mapped by primer extension 70 bp 5' from the putative start codon. Promoter fusions to a chloramphenicol acetyltransferase gene were used to confirm that there was a functional promoter driving ftf expression and to show that sequences located 86 to 218 bp upstream of the transcription initiation site were required for optimal ftf expression. Quantitative slot blot analysis against total RNA from cells grown on different sugars or from different growth phases revealed that ftf was constitutively transcribed. Thus, the A. naeslundii FTF is more similar in primary sequence and the regulation of expression to levansucrases of gram-negative bacteria than gram-positive bacteria.
A Cryogenic Cell for Liquid Noble Gases. Vibrational Spectroscopy and Photochemistry of Transition Metal Carbonyls in Liquid Xenon (1986)

The construction of a special cryogenic cell for spectroscopic and photochemical measurements in liquefied noble gases under pressure is described. The inner (sample) cell, withstanding a pressure of at least 700 psi, has no high-vacuum around it. It has two crossed IR and UV-visible optical pathways of 30 mm. The usefulness of these noble gases in vibrational spectroscopy is demonstrated for the following transition metal carbonyls, dissolved in liquid xenon (=LXe, pressure &lt;150 psi, 170 &lt; T &lt; 240 K): [W(CO) 6 ], [Mn 2 (CO) 10 l, and [Co 2 (CO) 8 ]. The great advantage of LXe is its complete transparency over a wide spectral range. The limited solubility of many complexes in LXe in comparison with “normal” solvents is often compensated by the long optical pathway of the cell. Because of its complete inertness, reactive intermediates and products of photochemical reactions can be stabilized in LXe, even at moderate temperatures. The photochemical reaction is described of [W(CO) 6 ] with a l,4-diaza-l,3-butadiene (=R-DAB; RN=CHCH=NR) ligand. During this reaction a photoproduct is identified as a stable complex which is so unstable in normal solvents that it can only be observed with rapid-scan FT-IR spectroscopy.
Enhanced performance of GaN nanobelt-based photodetectors by means of piezotronic effects (2013)

GaN ultraviolet (UV) photodetectors (PDs) have attracted tremendous attention due to their chemical stability in harsh environments. Although Schottky-contacted GaN-based UV PDs have been implemented with better performance than that of ohmic contacts, it remains unknown how the barrier height at local Schottky contacts controls the sensors’ performance. In this work, the piezotronic effect was employed to tune the Schottky barrier height (SBH) at local contacts and hence enhance the performances of Schottky-contacted metal-semiconductor-metal (MSM) structured GaN nanobelt (NB)-based PDs. In general, the response level of the PDs was obviously enhanced by the piezotronic effect when applying a strain on devices. The responsivity of the PD was increased by 18%, and the sensitivity was enhanced by from 22% to 31%, when illuminated by a 325 nm laser with light intensity ranging from 12 to 2 W/cm2. Carefully studying the mechanism using band structure diagrams reveals that the observed enhancement of the PD performance resulted from the change in SBH caused by external strain as well as light intensity. Using piezotronic effects thus provides a practical way to enhance the performance of PDs made not only of GaN, but also other wurtzite and zinc blende family materials.
Lysine Deacetylase Inhibitors in Parasites: Past, Present, and Future Perspectives (2017)

Current therapies for human parasite infections rely on a few drugs, most of which have severe side effects, and their helpfulness is being seriously compromised by the drug resistance problem. Globally, this is pushing discovery research of antiparasitic drugs toward new agents endowed with new mechanisms of action. By using a "drug repurposing" strategy, histone deacetylase inhibitors (HDACi), which are presently clinically approved for cancer use, are now under investigation for various parasite infections. Because parasitic Zn<sup>2+</sup>- and NAD<sup>+</sup>-dependent HDACs play crucial roles in the modulation of parasite gene expression and many of them are pro-survival for several parasites under various conditions, they are now emerging as novel potential antiparasitic targets. This Perspective summarizes the state of knowledge of HDACi (both class I/II HDACi and sirtuin inhibitors) targeted to the main human parasitic diseases (schistosomiasis, malaria, trypanosomiasis, leishmaniasis, and toxoplasmosis) and provides visions into the main issues that challenge their development as antiparasitic agents.
Endoglin (CD105): A Marker of Tumor Vasculature and Potential Target for Therapy (2008)

Endoglin (CD105) is an accessory protein of the transforming growth factor-beta receptor system expressed on vascular endothelial cells. Mutation of the endoglin gene is associated with hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasias, or Osler-Weber-Rendu syndrome, and has been studied extensively in the context of this disease. The expression of endoglin is elevated on the endothelial cells of healing wounds, developing embryos, inflammatory tissues, and solid tumors. Endoglin is a marker of activated endothelium, and its vascular expression is limited to proliferating cells. Recent studies identified endoglin expression in several solid tumor types, with the level of expression correlating with various clinicopathologic factors including decreased survival and presence of metastases. Attempts to target endoglin and the cells that express this protein in tumor-bearing mice have yielded promising results.
PHENOL REMOVAL BY EMULSION LIQUID MEMBRANE: A MODIFIED DIFFUSION MODEL (1997)

A diffusion model is developed to simulated the behavior of mass transport of the solute in the emulsion liquid membrane. The solute is allowed to react reversiblely with the internal reagent, and the effective diffusivity of the solute in membrane phase is dependent on local solute concentration in membrane phase. A numerical solution is presented for the non-linear equations of this model. The results are compared with those of two previous models, and it is found that the Modified Diffusion Model represents more accurately than other earlier models.

Comparison of Limb-length Discrepancy After THA: With and Without Computer Navigation (2013)

Limb-length discrepancy following total hip arthroplasty (THA) is often cited as a reason for patient dissatisfaction and for hip instability. Various intraoperative techniques have been described to help restore normal limb length after THA. The purpose of this study was to assess whether a computer-navigated surgical technique would help restore limb-length equality following THA.A retrospective study of 150 consecutive patients compared a free-hand (non-navigated) THA technique vs a computer-navigated THA technique. Each group contained 75 patients. The primary outcome measurement was limb-length discrepancy, which was evaluated using a digital anteroposterior pelvic radiograph. Secondary outcome measurements included a Harris Hip Score questionnaire and a single question evaluating the subjective feeling of the operative limb (longer, shorter, or equal). At a minimum 1-year follow-up, results showed that computer-navigated THA helped restore limb-length equality. An average leg-length difference of 0.3 mm (SD=0.3 mm) was found with computer-navigated THA compared with a leg-length difference of 1.8 mm (SD=0.7 mm) when a non-navigated THA was used. This was statistically significant. Both groups had similar Harris Hip Scores (computer-navigated group, 84.8; non-navigated group, 84.2; P=.835), and no difference was found between the 2 groups regarding the patient's perception of the operative limb length.This study demonstrated that computer-navigated THA resulted in improved restoration of normal limb length and limited significant outliers but did not show improvement in Harris Hip Scores or patient's perception of limb-length equality.

Aggregating Content and Network Information to Curate Twitter User Lists (2012)

Twitter introduced user lists in late 2009, allowing users to be grouped according to meaningful topics or themes. Lists have since been adopted by media outlets as a means of organising content around news stories. Thus the curation of these lists is important - they should contain the key information gatekeepers and present a balanced perspective on a story. Here we address this list curation process from a recommender systems perspective. We propose a variety of criteria for generating user list recommendations, based on content analysis, network analysis, and the "crowdsourcing" of existing user lists. We demonstrate that these types of criteria are often only successful for datasets with certain characteristics. To resolve this issue, we propose the aggregation of these different "views" of a news story on Twitter to produce more accurate user recommendations to support the curation process.
Thionation Using Fluorous Lawesson's Reagent (2006)

[reaction: see text] Thionation of amides, 1,4-diketones, N-(2-oxoalkyl)amides, N,N'-acylhydrazines, and acyl-protected uridines with the use of a fluorous analogue of the Lawesson's reagent leads to thioamides, thiophenes, 1,3-thiazoles, 1,3,4-thiadiazoles, and acyl-protected 4-thiouridines. The isolation of the final products in high yields is achieved in most cases by a simple filtration (fluorous solid-phase extraction).
Much Higher Risk of Premalignant and Malignant Cervical Diseases in Younger Women Positive for HPV16 than in Older Women Positive for HPV16 (2001)

Human papillomavirus (HPV), particularly HPV16, is strongly associated with premalignant lesions of the uterine cervix and cervical cancer. However, HPV infection is a common sexually transmitted disease and only a few women develop cervical cancer. Although the presence of HPV and abnormal cytology are independent risk factors for cervical diseases, implementing both tests on every woman is argued not to be recommended mainly in terms of cost-effectiveness. During a 20-month period between October, 1994, and May, 1996, cervical swabs from 207 women who were referred for colposcopy because of cervical dyskaryosis (Papanicolaou class IIIa or higher) were examined by PCR for the presence of HPV16. When these women were divided into two groups; i.e., group A consisting of women who were 44 years old or younger (n = 111), and group B consisting of women who were 45 years old or older (n = 96), the risk of having premalignant and malignant cervical diseases upon infection with HPV16 was approximately 8 times higher in group A than in group B. Thus, we conclude that HPV-testing should be implemented on every young woman with an abnormal Papanicolaou smear test.
