The influence of soil composition on bioremediation of PAH‐contaminated soils (1991)

Abstract As a result of former industrial activities, many properties across the United States contain various chemicals in their soils at concentrations above background levels. Polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are often encountered at sites of gas manufacture, wood treating, tar refining, coke making, and petroleum reflning. When the presence of PAHs in site soil is deemed to create a situation of unacceptable risk to public health or the environment, treatment or disposal is required to reduce concentrations to acceptable levels. The ideal remedial process for PAHs in soils would destroy them to an environmentally sound level at relatively low cost without producing adverse by‐products. In many cases bioremediation can accomplish these goals. The degree to which bioremediation can destroy PAHs in a particular soil, however, is highly dependent on the characteristics of that soil, including the nature of the hydrocarbon that is the source of the PAHs. It is the objective of this article to describe efforts leading to this conclusion and to summarize how soil characteristics influence bioremediation of PAHs.
How to Memorize a Random 60-Bit String (2015)

User-generated passwords tend to be memorable, but not secure. A random, computergenerated 60-bit string is much more secure. However, users cannot memorize random 60bit strings. In this paper, we investigate methods for converting arbitrary bit strings into English word sequences (both prose and poetry), and we study their memorability and other properties.
Assessing breast tumor margin by multispectral photoacoustic tomography (2015)

An unmet need exists in high-speed and highly-sensitive intraoperative assessment of breast cancer margin during conservation surgical procedures. Here, we demonstrate a multispectral photoacoustic tomography system for breast tumor margin assessment using fat and hemoglobin as contrasts. This system provides ~3 mm tissue depth and ~125 μm axial resolution. The results agreed with the histological findings. A high sensitivity in margin assessment was accomplished, which opens a compelling way to intraoperative margin assessment.

Analysis of microstructure and mechanical properties of different boron and non-boron alloyed steels after being hot stamped (2011)

Hot stamping is a non-isothermal high temperature forming process, in which complex ultra high strength parts are produced, with the goal of no springback. Boron alloyed steels, especially 22MnB5, have been the point of focus for the materials choice in hot stamping. In this paper four high strength non-boron alloyed steels as well as five boron alloyed steels were hot stamped using water and nitrogen cooling media. Microstructural analyses as well as tensile tests of hot stamped samples were performed. Boron alloyed steels obtained fully martensitic or bainitic microstructure while microstructure of non-boron alloyed steels was consisted of some ferrite phase in addition to martensite and bainite phases. The results showed that boron alloyed steels attained yield and tensile strength values of about 650-1370 MPa and 850-2000 MPa, respectively, while those related to non-boron alloyed steels were, in order, about 600-1100 MPa and 900-1400 MPa. © 2011 Published by Elsevier Ltd.

Basic models and a formulation are proposed in order to deduce the stiffness matrix as a function of the most important design parameters of the WL-15 architecture. First numerical simulations and experimental tests are also carried out for stiffness performance estimation.
Gastroenterological surgery in Japan: The past, the present and the future (2017)

In the last two centuries, there has been remarkable progress in the field of gastroenterological surgery, including the curative resection of cancers, replacement of failed organs through transplantation, increased safety of undergoing major surgeries and decreased operative morbidity through developments in minimal access surgery. Japan has very much been at the forefront of these advances, as is evident from the present review, from advancing the surgical management of gastric cancer to the pioneering work in live-donor transplantation. This review also highlights many instances where surgical management of the same pathologies has evolved differently between Japan and the West. It is encouraging that many procedures established in Japan are eventually taken up by the West, often after rigorous assessment affirming the quality and applicability of such techniques. In Japan, many of the crucial issues in gastroenterological surgery are increasingly addressed through large multi-institutional prospective control trials, ensuring that Japanese surgeons continue to contribute to the advances in gastroenterological surgery.
Electric field-induced transport modulation in VO2 FETs with high-k oxide/organic parylene-C hybrid gate dielectric (2016)

We report on the observation of reversible and immediate resistance switching by high-k oxide Ta2O5/organic parylene-C hybrid dielectric-gated VO2 thin films. Resistance change ratios at various temperatures in the insulating regime were demonstrated to occur in the vicinity of phase transition temperature. We also found an asymmetric hole-electron carrier modulation related to the suppression of phase transition temperature. The results in this research provide a possibility for clarifying the origin of metal-insulator transition in VO2 through the electrostatic field-induced transport modulation.
A Blocked Diketo Form of Avobenzone: Photostability, Photosensitizing Properties and Triplet Quenching by a Triazine‐derived UVB‐filter (2008)

Novel sunscreens are required providing active protection in the UVA and UVB regions. On the other hand, there is an increasing concern about the photosafety of UV filters, as some of them are not sufficiently photostable. Avobenzone is one of the most frequently employed sunscreen ingredients, but it has been reported to partially decompose after irradiation. In the present work, photophysical and photochemical studies on a methylated avobenzone-derivative have shown that the diketo form is responsible for photodegradation. A transient absorption was observed at 380 nm after laser flash photolysis excitation at 308 nm. It was assigned to the triplet excited state of the diketo form, as inferred from quenching by oxygen and beta-carotene. This transient also interacted with key building blocks of biomolecules by triplet-triplet energy transfer (in the case of thymidine) or electron transfer processes (for 2'-deoxyguanosine, tryptophan and tyrosine). Irradiation of the avobenzone derivative in the presence of a triazine UV-B filter (E-35852) diminished the undesirable effects of the compound by an efficient quenching of the triplet excited state. Thus, sunscreen formulations including triplet quenchers could provide effective protection from the potential phototoxic and photoallergic effects derived from poor photostability of avobenzone.
Abstract 4144: The treatment with a derivative of Vitamin A (ATRA) modulates the expression and subcellular localization of Protein Kinase C (PKC) delta and induces growth inhibition in normal and tumor derived mammary cells (2010)

Abstract Retinoids may exert some of their effects on cell differentiation and malignant phenotype reversion through the interaction with different PKC isoforms. In the present work we addressed the following issues: A)- the role of ATRA on the in vitro growth potential of LM3, a murine mammary tumor-derived cell line; NMuMG, a normal murine mammary cell line and MDA-MB231, a human breast cancer-derived cell line. B)- the effect of retinoid treatment on the expression and subcellular distribution of PKCδ and C)- the importance of PKCδ in the activity of retinoid receptors. ATRA treatment (1μM, 72h) induced a significant growth inhibition in the analyzed murine cell lines. This phenomenon was associated with the reduction of pERK1 levels (80±9% and 40±5% in LM3 and NMuMG cells respectively) and the increase of the cell cycle inhibitor p27 in the nuclear fraction without altering the expression of Cyclin D1 in both murine cell lines. None of these modulations were observed in the ATRA unresponsive MDA-MB241 cell line. By Western blot we could determine that 72h treatment with ATRA induced an increase of PKCδ protein levels both in the nuclear fraction of LM3 cells (4-fold) and in the cytoplasm (2- and 3-fold for LM3 and NMuMG cells respectively). On the contrary, in MDA-MB241 cells PKCδ expression was reduced after ATRA exposure. Interestingly, pharmacological silencing of PKCδ in LM3 cells prevented the activation of retinoid receptors by ATRA, as evidenced by a reporter gene assay (RARE-Luciferase). Our results suggest that, in ATRA-responsive cells, the treatment with this vitamin A derivate inhibits in vitro growth, by reducing mitogenic signaling, by increasing the expression of a cell-cycle inhibitory protein as well as by increasing PKCδ an isoform usually associated with growth inhibition and apoptosis induction. The subcellular localization was also altered by this treatment in LM3 cells. Moreover, the effect of ATRA exerted through the activation of its specific nuclear receptors would depend on the nuclear translocation of this PKC.

Electrical and optical properties of zinc oxide thin films prepared by rf magnetron sputtering for transparent electrode applications (1984)

Zinc oxide films were prepared on unheated glass substrates by rf magnetron sputtering under an applied external dc magnetic field in pure argon gas, and electrical and optical properties of the deposited films were investigated. Highly transparent films with resistivity as low as 10−4 Ω cm, which were weakly oriented perpendicular to the substrate surface(c-axis orientation), could be produced with a relatively high deposition rate on the substrate suspended perpendicular to the target surface by controlling the sputtering gas pressure and the external dc magnetic field, without any postdeposition preparative treatment. The Hall mobility of the film with the highest conductivity was about 120 cm2/V sec, which was the highest yet reported for thin films on ZnO. The increase in the conductivity was related to the increase in Hall mobility which was caused by the decrease of carrier scattering from grain boundaries due to the grain growth resulting from the improvement of crystallization. The improvement of crystallization is resulted from particles with a momentum component parallel to the substrate surface. The sputtered ZnO films should be useful as a less expensive window material.
<title>Fluorescent blood cell angiography</title> (1994)

Fluorescein angiography is currently the main method for evaluation of the retinal vascular patency. Ashton noted that capillary patency to the small fluorescein molecule may differ from that of the larger red blood cells. He concluded that fluorescein angiography is not able to demonstrate a developing stenosis, that might be the precipitating cause of a later capillary closure in various microvasculopathies. Sarelius et al have shown, in hamster cheek pouch and cremaster muscle, that fluorescently labeled erythrocytes in known concentrations can be used for the direct measurement of capillary flow parameters. The only assumption that this method relies on, is that the labeled cells are rheologically normal and therefore reflect the behavior of the total cell population. We have developed a new method for an in-vivo, real-time demonstration of the blood cell flow in the retinal capillary net. Based on the assumption presented by Sarelius et al, measurement and analysis of the retinal capillary blood cell flow is also possible from the results achieved by the new method.

Simulation-based artifact correction (SBAC) for metrological computed tomography (2017)

Computed tomography (CT) is a valuable tool for the metrolocical assessment of industrial components. However, the application of CT to the investigation of highly attenuating objects or multi-material components is often restricted by the presence of CT artifacts caused by beam hardening, x-ray scatter, off-focal radiation, partial volume effects or the cone-beam reconstruction itself. In order to overcome this limitation, this paper proposes an approach to calculate a correction term that compensates for the contribution of artifacts and thus enables an appropriate assessment of these components using CT. Therefore, we make use of computer simulations of the CT measurement process. Based on an appropriate model of the object, e.g. an initial reconstruction or a CAD model, two simulations are carried out. One simulation considers all physical effects that cause artifacts using dedicated analytic methods as well as Monte Carlo-based models. The other one represents an ideal CT measurement i.e. a measurement in parallel beam geometry with a monochromatic, point-like x-ray source and no x-ray scattering. Thus, the difference between these simulations is an estimate for the present artifacts and can be used to correct the acquired projection data or the corresponding CT reconstruction, respectively. The performance of the proposed approach is evaluated using simulated as well as measured data of single and multi-material components. Our approach yields CT reconstructions that are nearly free of artifacts and thereby clearly outperforms commonly used artifact reduction algorithms in terms of image quality. A comparison against tactile reference measurements demonstrates the ability of the proposed approach to increase the accuracy of the metrological assessment significantly.
Prevention of Preharvest Sprouting through Hormone Engineering and Germination Recovery by Chemical Biology (2017)

Vivipary, germination of seeds on the maternal plant, is observed in nature and provides ecological advantages in certain wild species, such as mangroves. However, precocious seed germination in agricultural species, such as preharvest sprouting (PHS) in cereals, is a serious issue for food security. PHS reduces grain quality and causes economical losses to farmers. PHS can be prevented by translating the basic knowledge of hormone biology in seeds into technologies. Biosynthesis of abscisic acid (ABA), which is an essential hormone for seed dormancy, can be engineered to enhance dormancy and prevent PHS. Enhancing nine-<i>cis</i>-epoxycarotenoid dioxygenase (NCED), a rate-limiting enzyme of ABA biosynthesis, through a chemically induced gene expression system, has successfully been used to suppress germination of Arabidopsis seeds. The more advanced system <i>NCED</i> positive-feedback system, which amplifies ABA biosynthesis in a seed-specific manner without chemical induction, has also been developed. The proofs of concept established in the model species are now ready to be applied to crops. A potential problem is recovery of germination from hyperdormant crop grains. Hyperdormancy induced by the <i>NCED</i> systems can be reversed by inducing counteracting genes, such as <i>NCED</i> RNA interference or gibberellin (GA) biosynthesis genes. Alternatively, seed sensitivity to ABA can be modified to rescue germination using the knowledge of chemical biology. ABA antagonists, which were developed recently, have great potential to recover germination from the hyperdormant seeds. Combination of the dormancy-imposing and -releasing approaches will establish a comprehensive technology for PHS prevention and germination recovery.
Individual identification by gait vibration data transmitted floor (2016)

The establishment of variety methods in the individual identification technology is desirable. In this study, it is considered that the method of individual identification from vibration data generated in gait. In the walking motion, the unique information such as the individual's body type and habit is contained. It is assumed that the unique information is reflected in the gait vibration data transmitted in the floor. The potential for application to individual identification is shown by extracting one step and analyzing the unique information from the gait vibration data. The Adaboost method is applied to the extraction of one step of the walking. In order to represent the characteristics of each individual and analyzed using the Principal Component Analysis.
Primary Hodgkin lymphoma of the adrenal gland: a unique case presentation. (2009)

Adrenal "incidentalomas" are commonly found on body imaging, and treatment of these lesions 4 cm-6 cm in size is controversial. Most of these lesions are benign adrenal cortical adenomas. Lymphoma is a rare disease manifestation in the adrenal gland, and the overwhelming majority are metastatic lesions. Hodgkin lymphoma has never been reported as a primary adrenal lesion. We present a very unique case report of a 5 cm adrenal "incidentaloma" that represents the first reported case of primary Hodgkin lymphoma in the adrenal gland.
Consolidation behaviour during manufacture of adapted piezoceramic modules for functional integrated thermoplastic composite structures (2011)

Abstract For the series production of adaptive fibre-reinforced thermoplastic structures, the development of process-adapted piezoceramic modules is gaining central importance. Thermoplastic-compatible piezoceramic modules are being developed which are suitable for a matrix-homogeneous adhesive-free integration of the modules in fibre-reinforced thermoplastic structures during a simultaneous welding process. Aiming at the continuous improvement of the novel module design and its manufacturing technology based on a hot-pressing technology, an adapted physical nonlinear simulation model was developed in order to analyze the material and process dependent function and consolidation behaviour. Special regard is given to residual stresses caused by different coefficients of thermal expansion of the component materials and their specific use to enhance the module performance.
Measurement Method for Inherent Strain of Coated Member with Hierh Accuracy (2004)

The residual stress and deformation behaviors of rectangular plate, induced by the inherent strain of coating layer due to thermal spraying, was clarified by a polynominal expression using the dimensionless parameters of σ· (1-νc) / (Ec·εI) and u·T/ (L2·εI). (σ : residual stress, νc : Poisson's ratio of coating, Ec : Young's modulus of coating, εI : inherent strain of coating layer, u : displacement, T : thickness of substrate and L : length of substrate). We made clear the rectangular plate size for measuring the inherent strain of coated member with high accuracy for preventing the plastic deformation effect of substrate and the cracking effect of coating layer in case of the MCrAIY coated IN738LC.
