IL-23 Is Required for Long-Term Control of Mycobacterium tuberculosis and B Cell Follicle Formation in the Infected Lung (2011)

IL-23 is required for the IL-17 response to infection with Mycobacterium tuberculosis, but is not required for the early control of bacterial growth. However, mice deficient for the p19 component of IL-23 (Il23a(-/-)) exhibit increased bacterial growth late in infection that is temporally associated with smaller B cell follicles in the lungs. Cxcl13 is required for B cell follicle formation and immunity during tuberculosis. The absence of IL-23 results in decreased expression of Cxcl13 within M. tuberculosis-induced lymphocyte follicles in the lungs, and this deficiency was associated with increased cuffing of T cells around the vessels in the lungs of these mice. Il23a(-/-) mice also poorly expressed IL-17A and IL-22 mRNA. These cytokines were able to induce Cxcl13 in mouse primary lung fibroblasts, suggesting that these cytokines are likely involved in B cell follicle formation. Indeed, IL-17RA-deficient mice generated smaller B cell follicles early in the response, whereas IL-22-deficient mice had smaller B cell follicles at an intermediate time postinfection; however, only Il23a(-/-) mice had a sustained deficiency in B cell follicle formation and reduced immunity. We propose that in the absence of IL-23, expression of long-term immunity to tuberculosis is compromised due to reduced expression of Cxcl13 in B cell follicles and reduced ability of T cells to migrate from the vessels and into the lesion. Further, although IL-17 and IL-22 can both contribute to Cxcl13 production and B cell follicle formation, it is IL-23 that is critical in this regard.
Parameterizing empirical interatomic potentials for predicting thermophysical properties via an irreducible derivative approach: the case of ThO$_2$ and UO$_2$ (2022)

The accuracy of classical physical property predictions using molecular dynamics simulations is determined by the quality of the interatomic potentials. Here we introduce a training approach for empirical interatomic potentials (EIPs) which is well suited for capturing phonons and phonon-related properties. Our approach is based on direct comparisons of the second- and third-order irreducible derivatives between an EIP and the Born-Oppenheimer potential within density functional theory (DFT) calculations. Irreducible derivatives fully exploit space group symmetry and allow for training without redundant information. We demonstrate the fidelity of our approach in the context of ThO$_2$ and UO$_2$, where we optimize parameters of an embedded-atom method potential in addition to core-shell interactions. Our EIPs provide thermophysical properties in good agreement with DFT and outperform widely utilized EIPs for phonon dispersion and thermal conductivity predictions. Reasonable estimates of thermal expansion and formation energies of Frenkel pairs are also obtained.
Resinless section electron microscopy of HeLa cell mitotic architecture. (1986)

The use of resinless sections extends embedment-free electron microscopy to the cytoskeleton of thick specimens. Here we examine HeLa cells rounded at mitosis. Extraction of mitotic HeLa cells with Triton X-100 removes lipids and soluble proteins, leaving the cytoskeletal framework and spindle apparatus. After fixation, the samples are embedded and sectioned, and the temporary embedding resin is removed for direct visualization in the electron microscope. The micrographs show that the cytoskeletal framework, chromosomes, spindle, and centrioles form an interconnected entity. The pericentriolar region, indistinct in conventional micrographs, appears composed of distinct fibers interconnecting the spindle microtubules and centriole. The resinless sections also reveal characteristic lacunae at late anaphase/early telophase. These probably result from reformation of the interphase cytoskeleton lagging reassembly of the nucleus.
One-Sided Inference about Functionals of a Density (1988)

This paper discusses the possibility of truly nonparametric inference about functionals of an unknown density. Examples considered include: discrete functionals, such as the number of modes of a density and the number of terms in the true model; and continuous functionals, such as the optimal bandwidth for kernel density estimates or the widths of confidence intervals for adaptive location estimators. For such functionals it is not generally possible to make two-sided nonparametric confidence statements. However, one-sided nonparametric confidence statements are possible: e.g., "I say with 95% confidence that the underlying distribution has at least three modes." Roughly, this is because the functionals of interest are semicontinuous with respect to the topology induced by a distribution-free metric. Then a neighborhood procedure can be used. The procedure is to find the minimum value of the functional over a neighborhood of the empirical distribution in function space. If this neighborhood is a nonparametric $1 - \alpha$ confidence region for the true distribution, the resulting minimum value lowerbounds the true value with a probability of at least $1 - \alpha$. This lower bound has good asymptotic properties in the high-confidence setting $\alpha$ close to 0.
Frequency broadband signal MVDR adaptive beamforming method and application (2010)

In this paper, frequency broadband signal beamforming methods of digital array radar (DAR) are researched and broadband signal adaptive beamforming is realized through MVDR rule. Simulation and comparison show that blocked DFT beamforming method has advantage of little calculating quantity. For non-superposition of each block destroy the relativity of signal, blocked DFT make aberrance to pulse compression and take bad influence in succedent processing. Sliding-window DFT beamforming can achieve good performance of pulse compression, but it has large calculating quantity. Improved DFT beamforming method has the same calculating quantity with blocked DFT method, and it doesn't destroy the relativity of signal so that it can achieve good performance of pulse compression and in succedent processing. Improved DFT beamforming method is fit for used in engineering. The result of its application in DAR has been given.
Divide and Conquer: EKF SLAM in $O(n)$ (2008)

<para xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"> In this paper, we show that <emphasis emphasistype="italic">all</emphasis> processes associated with the move-sense-update cycle of extended Kalman filter (EKF) Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) can be carried out in time <emphasis emphasistype="italic">linear</emphasis> with the number of map features. We describe <emphasis emphasistype="italic">Divide and Conquer</emphasis> SLAM, which is an EKF SLAM algorithm in which the computational complexity per step is reduced from <formula formulatype="inline"><tex Notation="TeX">$O(n^2)$</tex></formula> to <formula formulatype="inline"><tex Notation="TeX"> $O(n)$</tex></formula>, and the total cost of SLAM is reduced from <formula formulatype="inline"><tex Notation="TeX">$O(n^3)$</tex> </formula> to <formula formulatype="inline"><tex Notation="TeX">$O(n^2)$</tex></formula>. Unlike many current large-scale EKF SLAM techniques, this algorithm computes a solution without relying on approximations or simplifications (other than linearizations) to reduce computational complexity. Also, estimates and covariances are available when needed by data association without any further computation. Furthermore, as the method works most of the time in local maps, where angular errors remain small, the effect of linearization errors is limited. The resulting vehicle and map estimates are more precise than those obtained with standard EKF SLAM. The errors with respect to the true value are smaller, and the computed state covariance is consistent with the real error in the estimation. Both simulated experiments and the Victoria Park dataset are used to provide evidence of the advantages of this algorithm. </para>

Impact of emissions from natural gas production facilities on ambient air quality in the Barnett Shale area: A pilot study (2014)

Rapid and extensive development of shale gas resources in the Barnett Shale region of Texas in recent years has created concerns about potential environmental impacts on water and air quality. The purpose of this study was to provide a better understanding of the potential contributions of emissions from gas production operations to population exposure to air toxics in the Barnett Shale region. This goal was approached using a combination of chemical characterization of the volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions from active wells, saturation monitoring for gaseous and particulate pollutants in a residential community located near active gas/oil extraction and processing facilities, source apportionment of VOCs measured in the community using the Chemical Mass Balance (CMB) receptor model, and direct measurements of the pollutant gradient downwind of a gas well with high VOC emissions. Overall, the study results indicate that air quality impacts due to individual gas wells and compressor stations are not likely to be discernible beyond a distance of approximately 100 m in the downwind direction. However, source apportionment results indicate a significant contribution to regional VOCs from gas production sources, particularly for lower-molecular-weight alkanes (< C6). Although measured ambient VOC concentrations were well below health-based safe exposure levels, the existence of urban-level mean concentrations of benzene and other mobile source air toxics combined with soot to total carbon ratios that were high for an area with little residential or commercial development may be indicative of the impact of increased heavy-duty vehicle traffic related to gas production. Implications: Rapid and extensive development of shale gas resources in recent years has created concerns about potential environmental impacts on water and air quality. This study focused on directly measuring the ambient air pollutant levels occurring at residential properties located near natural gas extraction and processing facilities, and estimating the relative contributions from gas production and motor vehicle emissions to ambient VOC concentrations. Although only a small-scale case study, the results may be useful for guidance in planning future ambient air quality studies and human exposure estimates in areas of intensive shale gas production.

THE ACTIVATION OF SKIN GRAFTS (1946)

Rabbit skin rendered hyperplastic by various agents showed less tendency than normal skin to contract when sliced off, and when used for grafts it united with the bed more rapidly and was vascularized sooner. The stimulated epidermis proliferated practically at once, and abundantly, to cover adjacent raw surfaces. Also the donor area healed much more swiftly than usual and became infected less often. Certain grave limitations and hazards encountered during the experiments with hyperplastic grafts are considered.
INTRA-ARTICULAR LOCAL ANAESTHESIA FOR PAIN AFTER HIP ARTHROPLASTY (1997)

We investigated 15 patients with painful hip arthroplasties using intra-articular injection of bupivicaine. Fourteen had pain relief and 13 of them were subsequently found to have loosening of one or both components. The relief of pain after total hip arthroplasty by intra-articular injection of bupivicaine indicates that a satisfactory result is probable after revision surgery with refixation of the components.
1122 Modeling of Engine System and Revolution Control of Hobby-Class Small Unmanned Heicopter (2007)

Helicopters have the mobilities of vertical take-off and landing and hovering not possible with fixed-wing aircraft. And they have been used for disaster prevention extinguishing fire airborne photographing , rescue, pesticide spraying, news report and transportation. Unmanned small helicopters are more convenient than manned helicopters. But their flight is very difficult and usually limited to flight visible to the operator. So training take long time. Which is why autonomous flight control is indispensable to practical unmanned helicopter use. Now height control use governor which conserve revolution. And this appliance is switched by the hand. So revolution control behoove for autonomous flight. This thesis carry on research which is revolution control. We use system identification approach for revolution data and derived engine model. And we analytically derived resistance torque based on aerodynamics. So we combined them and derived control model. We designed controller based on derived model using Plcontrol theory and actualize revolution control.

Selective predicate prediction for out-of-order processors (2006)

If-conversion transforms control dependencies to data dependencies by using a predication mechanism. It is useful to eliminate hard-to-predict branches and to reduce the severe performance impact of branch mispredictions. However, the use of predicated execution in out-of-order processors has to deal with two problems: there can be multiple definitions for a single destination register at rename time, and instructions with a false predicated consume unnecessary resources. Predicting predicates is an effective approach to address both problems. However, predicting predicates that come from hard-to-predict branches is not beneficial in general, because this approach reverses the if-conversion transformation, loosing its potential benefits. In this paper we propose a new scheme that dynamically selects which predicates are worthy to be predicted, and which one are more effective in its if-converted form. We show that our approach significantly outperforms previous proposed schemes. Moreover it performs within 5% of an ideal scheme with perfect predicate prediction.

Selective in vitro transcription of one of the two Alu family repeats present in the 5′ flanking region of the human ε-globin gene (1981)

The sequence of 2965 nucleotides 5' of the human epsilon-globin gene has been completed. It includes two Alu family repeats present in an inverted configuration. Only the one located farthest from the gene was active as template for RNA polymerase III in a transcription system prepared from nuclei of Xenopus laevis oocytes. This selective transcription may be explained by the lack of homology of the first 45 nucleotides of the non transcribed repeat with other members of the Alu family. In fact this region includes one of the homology blocks described for other RNA polymerase III templates.
Development of High Temperature Diesel Engine Piston Ring and Cylinder Liner Tribology (2003)

&lt;div class="htmlview paragraph"&gt;Adiabatics, Inc. with the support of the U.S. Army Tank Automotive &amp;amp; Armaments Command has examined the feasibility of using Diamond Like Carbon (DLC) films and Iron Titanate (Fe&lt;sub&gt;2&lt;/sub&gt;TiO&lt;sub&gt;5&lt;/sub&gt; or IT) for sliding contact surfaces in Low Heat Rejection (LHR) diesel engines. DLCs have long been a popular candidate for use in sliding contact tribo-surfaces where a perceived reduction of friction losses will result in increased engine efficiency [&lt;span class="xref"&gt;1&lt;/span&gt;]. There exists a broad range of technologies for applying DLC films. This paper examines several types of these technologies and their future application to automotive internal combustion engines. Our work focuses upon DLC use for LHR military diesel engines where operating temperatures and pressures are higher than conventional diesel engines. However, a direct transfer of this technology to automotive diesel or gasoline engines exists for these thin films. The work presented in this paper examines laboratory phenomena between different types of DLC films [&lt;span class="xref"&gt;2&lt;/span&gt;], and also their suitability for use in the internal combustion engine.&lt;/div&gt;
