A Fuzzy Approach of Study to Improve the Status of Middle Class Family (2018)

In this chapter, we use the notion of FCM and its properties given, which was introduced by Bark Kosko in the year 1986. Further, this method is more simple and effective one as it can analyze the data by connection matrices and directed graphs. This paper has three sections; first section is introductory of Super Fuzzy Cognitive Maps. The application of super fuzzy cognitive maps to this problem is given in section two. In section three of this paper gives the conclusions based on our study.
Output beam focusability of a Nd:glass zig-zag slab laser (1990)

The focusability of a zig-zag optical path laser with a 230*65*5 mm Nd:glass for application to soft X-ray generation is described. A Q-switched laser output energy of 18.3 J with a pulse width of 28 ns was obtained in a phosphate glass LHG-5 (Nd:8 wt.%), with an extraction efficiency of 71% from a stored energy of 26 J at a pumping energy of 4 kJ. The focusability was achieved up to 6.2*10/sup 12/ W/cm/sup 2/ in a spot size of 100 mu m, which was sufficient intensity to generate soft X-rays for X-ray lithography.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">&gt;</ETX>
A Heme-binding Protein from Hemolymph and Oocytes of the Blood-sucking Insect, Rhodnius prolixus (1995)

A heme-binding protein has been isolated and characterized from both the hemolymph and oocytes of the blood-sucking insect, Rhodnius prolixus. The protein from both sources is identical in most aspects studied. The Rhodnius heme-binding protein (RHBP) is composed of a single 15-kDa polypeptide chain coiled in a highly alpha-helical structure which binds non-covalently one heme/polypeptide chain. This RHBP is not produced by limited degradation of hemoglobin from the vertebrate host, since specific polyclonal antibodies against it do not cross-react with rabbit hemoglobin, and since it differs from hemoglobin in having a distinct amino-acid composition and NH2-terminal sequence. The spectrum of the dithionite-reduced protein has peaks at 426, 530, and 559 nm and resembles that of a b-type cytochrome. RHBP from hemolymph is not saturated with heme and promptly binds heme added to the solution. The oocyte protein, on the other hand, is fully saturated and is not capable of binding additional heme.
Intermolecular Heteroaromatic Nucleophilic Substitution Reaction via the Sulphur Ylide Rearrangement: C-Attack vs. O-Attack (1988)

Intermolecular aromatic nucleophilicsubstitution reaction of the heterocyclic sulphide derivatives with a-diazo esters in the presence of rhodium (11) acetate was ~nvestigated to give the oxygen-introduced products a the sulphur ylide rearrangement.Versatile methodology for nucleophilic substltutlons at aromatic carbon atoms1 has been well-developed and many such reactions have been found to be used widely in organic syntheses.Recently, we have developed a novel carbon-carbon bond formlng reaction at the 7 H.
Behavioral VHDL-AMS modeling of nuclear magnetic resonance sensor (2004)

This paper describes the development of a model of a nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spiral coil sensor, using an analog hardware description. Our procedure implies several steps, with emphasis on model complexity reduction, identification of critical parameters and validation of experimental measurements. The proposed macro-model permits extremely fast simulation while providing nearly FEM accuracy. As a tool for coding the description of system level modelling, we use the analog hardware description language VHDL-AMS. For achieving the behavioural computation results, the SYSTEM VISION simulation environment from Mentor Graphics/spl reg/ was employed. In our proposed modelling, the different parts of the sensor and the different effects involved (electrical parameters, physical and magnetic coupling, loss effects) can be modelled within the same tool, together with the sensor environment: electrical command and detection circuit, time dependent magnetic field, and so on.
Highly efficient targeted chromosome deletions using CRISPR/Cas9 (2014)

The CRISPR/Cas9 system has emerged as an intriguing new technology for genome engineering. It utilizes the bacterial endonuclease Cas9 which, when delivered to eukaryotic cells in conjunction with a user-specified small guide RNA (gRNA), cleaves the chromosomal DNA at the target site. Here we show that concurrent delivery of gRNAs designed to target two different sites in a human chromosome introduce DNA double-strand breaks in the chromosome and give rise to targeted deletions of the intervening genomic segment. Predetermined genomic DNA segments ranging from several-hundred base pairs to 1 Mbp can be precisely deleted at frequencies of 1-10%, with no apparent correlation between the size of the deleted fragment and the deletion frequency. The high efficiency of this technique holds promise for large genomic deletions that could be useful in generation of cell and animal models with engineered chromosomes.
Somatic hybridization of high yield, cold-hardy and disease resistant parents for citrus rootstock improvement (2000)

SummaryIncreasing losses of trees to diseases, expansion of plantings into more marginal production areas and the need to control tree size to reduce harvesting costs have elevated the demand for new improved citrus rootstocks in Florida. A major strategy of the CREC rootstock improvement programme has been to use protoplast fusion to produce allotetraploid somatic hybrids that combine complementary rootstock germplasm. Tetraploid citrus rootstocks have been shown to have a built-in tree size control component due to polyploidy. This report focuses on the incorporation of newly identified superior rootstock germplasm into the somatic hybridization programme. Poncirus trifoliata 50–7, a selection of trifoliate orange selected for superior resistance to Phytophthora nicotianae, was hybridized with sour orange, Changsha mandarin, Navel orange, and a seedy white ‘Duncan’ type grapefruit. High-yielding Benton citrange (Citrus sinensis 3 Poncirus trifoliata) was hybridized with Changsha mandarin and sour orange. More than 200 plants of each of these six new somatic hybrids were propagated via tissue culture and rooted cuttings. To assess their horticultural performance, all the somatic hybrids were budded with commercially important scions and planted in replicated trials representing the two most important soil types in Florida. Seed trees of each somatic hybrid have also been planted in the field to determine fruiting potential and level of polyembryony.
Identification of 3-Hydroxyanthranilic Acid in Mixed Lymphocyte Cultures (1985)

3-Hydroxyanthranilic acid was identified in lymphocyte cultures during allogeneic stimulation. The metabolite and the synthetic product have identical HPLC retention times, fluorescence spectra, fluorescence intensities as a function of pH value and electrochemical behaviour.
Hemolysis study of aqueous polyethylene glycol 400, propylene glycol and ethanol combinations in vivo and in vitro. (1984)

Propylene glycohethanohwater (5:1:4) given intravenously for 2 weeks to rats and dogs resulted in hematuria and hematologic changes consistent with intravascular hemolysis. Several combinations of propylene glycol, polyethylene glycol 400, ethanol, saline and/or water were then studied for hemolytic activity both in vivo in rats after intravenous administration and in vitro. Solutions containing propylene glycol:ethanol:saline (1:3:6), ethano:lsaline (3:7), and polyethylene glycol 400:ethanol:water (3:2:5) were found to cause less hemolysis in vivo than the other solutions tested. Polyethylene glycol 400:ethanol:water (3:2:5) was chosen for further evaluation and when given intravenously to dogs for 1 week or rats for 2 weeks, this solution caused no adverse hematologic effects.

Performance of Ionic Transport Properties in Vegetable Oil-Based Polyurethane Acrylate Gel Polymer Electrolyte (2019)

The development of biobased polymer originated from vegetable oil has become one of the areas of interest in research field. Jatropha oil-based polyurethane acrylate has been prepared by three stages of reaction: epoxidation, hydroxylation, followed by introducing acrylate group in urethanation process. A new development of polyurethane acrylate gel polymer electrolyte was achieved by doping with 5–25 wt % LiClO4 and curing by UV irradiation method. The highest ionic conductivity was achieved with 15 wt % LiClO4 salt content, which is 8.955 × 10–5 S cm–1 at room temperature. The achievement of higher conductivity in gel polymer electrolyte was comparable in terms of salt content and without plasticizing effects. Polyurethane acrylate gel electrolyte was analyzed by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), which recorded the presence of hydroxyl and amine groups in polymer and gel electrolyte. NMR analysis confirmed this finding. Thermal stability of gel electrolyte was measured by thermal gravimetric analysis and differential scanning calorimetry analysis and associated with conductivity of the electrolyte. FTIR deconvolution and ionic transport properties are reported.
Monitoring and Quality Improvement of Pharmaceutical Glass Container's Manufacturing Process (2008)

This paper introduces the complete development of an infrared temperature measurement system for the different critical points in the pharmaceutical glass-container manufacturing process using low-cost sensorial devices. The system is able to measure temperatures between 500degC and 1300degC for maximum rates approximating 150 containers per minute. The system directly detects the presence of a container through the measurement without requiring any proximity detectors. During the usage, the system has demonstrated high reliability and repeatability in its measurements, becoming an essential system for both the adjusting stage of the machine and the supervision of its operations.
Effects of twice-daily aclidinium bromide in COPD patients: A long-term extension of ACCORD-COPD I (2012)

INTRODUCTION: The long-term effects of twice-daily (BID) aclidinium 200 µg and 400 µg were assessed in patients with moderate-to-severe COPD. METHODS: In this 52-week, double-blind, extension study, COPD patients on aclidinium 200 µg or 400 µg BID during the 12-week lead-in continued the same treatment while patients in the placebo group were re-randomized (1:1) to aclidinium 200 µg or 400 µg BID. Baseline was prespecified as Visit 2 of the lead-in study. Spirometry, SGRQ, and adverse events (AEs) were assessed. RESULTS: A total of 467 patients completed the lead-in study and 291 patients volunteered for the extension study. At study end, placebo patients re-randomized to aclidinium 400 µg and those on either dose of continuous aclidinium treatment showed improvements from baseline in trough FEV 1 . All groups showed improvements from baseline in SGRQ Total score (range, 4.85-7.92 point improvement). The percentages of patients with an AE were similar for both doses. Incidence of anticholinergic AEs was low and similar for both groups; dry mouth occurred in 1 patient (400 µg). The incidence of cardiac AEs was low across treatments ( CONCLUSIONS: Patients continuing long-term treatment with aclidinium 200 µg or 400 µg BID maintained improvements in lung function and health status compared to baseline. Aclidinium was well tolerated throughout this 1-year extension study.
Mouse-specific immunocontraceptive polyepitope vaccines. (2002)

Two mouse-specific polyepitope protein antigens comprising different combinations of sequences chosen from the mouse fertility antigens zona pellucida proteins 1 and 3 (ZP1 and ZP3), prolactin, proliferin, granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF), sperm protein SP56 and T-helper cell-stimulating epitopes were produced in bacterial protein expression systems. The recombinant proteins were fused to maltose binding protein (MBP) and used to immunize female mice; their effects on fertility were assessed. Controls were immunized with either MBP only or phosphate buffered saline (PBS). One antigen construct (MBP-polyepitope B), containing mouse-specific epitopes for ZP1, ZP3, SP56 and proliferin, significantly reduced the fertility of female BALB/c mice. Fertility in this group was decreased by > 40% compared with the MBP control and the number of viable embryos was decreased by > 60%. This construct will now be used to produce the antigen in a recombinant murine cytomegalovirus for assessment as a potential mouse-specific anti-fertility vaccine for use in the control of mice in the field.
Abstract - Cooperative Research and Development Agreement between Princeton University and National Energy Technology Laboratory (2018)

This research effort will develop a novel nanodischarge reactor loaded with nanotemplated catalysts to achieve high-efficiency plasma-enhanced conversion of CO2 and methane for the production of chemicals or fuels. The primary objective of this study is to demonstrate low temperature operation of a novel nanoplasma catalysis reactor that is characterized by a uniform discharge. Another objective is to address the most significant challenge in the plasma-catalysis hybrid system, which is to achieve the strongest synergistic interaction between the plasma and catalyst and to increase the selectivity for producing methanol and alkanes/alkenes. This enhanced synergy will be enabled by using bimetallic nanoparticles synthesized on nanorods present on surfaces of a nanotemplated oxide support.
Abstract C15: Telomere length assessment in human archival tumor tissues by quantitative PCR method (2011)

Abstract Telomeres are essential for maintenance of genomic stability. Short telomeres have been associated with genomic instability, and initiation and progression of human cancers. To protect their telomeres, up to 90% of human cancers activate telomerase. Inhibition of telomerase by imetelstat, a specific and potent inhibitor, has resulted in telomere shortening, as well as tumor response in animal models. We propose that tumors with short telomeres may be more responsive to imetelstat than tumors with long telomeres. This hypothesis will be tested by measuring baseline telomere lengths in archival tumors of patients in imetelstat Phase II clinical trials, and correlating tumor telomere length with clinical outcome. In order to accomplish this, a fast, high-throughput qPCR-based method for telomere length measurement in genomic DNA extracted from FFPE tissue sections was developed. Using this assay, telomere repetitive DNA sequences and single-copy gene control were successfully amplified. The assay required very little genomic DNA (1–10ng per PCR reaction). Thus, small tissue sections (20 mm2) could be easily accommodated. Using this technique, we were able to perform the first comparison of relative telomere lengths in 22 human breast cancer samples and 8 human tumor cell lines in matched fresh-frozen and FFPE samples. Telomere lengths measured in FFPE samples by the qPCR method strongly correlated with the telomere lengths measured by TRF in matched fresh-frozen samples. Therefore, our method provides a useful tool for assessment of telomere length as a potential predictive biomarker of responsiveness to telomerase inhibition in clinical archival tumor tissue.

Effects of Pressure Pulsation on Oxygen Transfer Rate Measured by Sulfite Method (2003)

Pressure pulsation (PP) was investigated for its effects on oxygen transfer rate (OTR) measured by sulfite oxidation. By manipulating airflow rate, 0.41- 1.2 vvm, and a control valve in a 4-L bioreactor, the frequency of PP was varied at different gas pressures3-15 psig. A mathematical model of OTR was built and compared to experimental data. OTR was also examined at constant gas pressure, 4.5-15.0 psig. The results indicate a good agreement between measurement and model prediction. OTR above 9 psig during PP showed significant enhancement at 25 degrees C. This proves that PP not only affects the elevation of DO level, but also increases the interfacial area and mass transfer coefficient.
Using remote sensing to promote signal and image processing (2011)

This paper presents the development of a new elective in the Electrical and Computer Engineering program at the University of Texas at El Paso in signal and image processing using remote sensing as its central theme. Remote sensing proved to be a beneficial framework for teaching signal and image processing due to the ready availability of multispectral data sets and the number of linkages of remote sensing to contemporary topics in society. Associated with the development of the course have been efforts in student mentoring, the writing of a textbook, and education of the general public through a museum outreach project.
Reliable modeling of ultrathin alternative plasmonic materials using spectroscopic ellipsometry [Invited] (2019)

Spectroscopic ellipsometry is a prominent method for finding both the thickness and permittivity of unknown thin material films due to its sensitivity, flexibility, and self-referencing nature. For non-absorbing films, the thickness and permittivity can be readily retrieved due to an excess of data content, which produces a clearly defined best-fit for a series of test material parameters. However, in materials with absorption throughout the spectrum, there is often insufficient data content to uniquely characterize both film thickness and permittivity for the thin film material. This leads to a flat fit optimization curve that can produce apparently good fit results from a wide range of material parameters. To overcome this data content shortage, additional techniques are necessary to either increase the measured data content or reduce the unknown parameters and establish the unique material properties for the film. Here, we explore the use of spectroscopic ellipsometry combined with transmission intensity data and discuss the pitfalls of fitting such thin absorbing films. Specifically, we examine the case of titanium nitride, a rising refractory alternative plasmonic material and demonstrate that without proper ellipsometry fitting procedures, retrieved permittivity values can vary by a factor of three or more.
Parallel TCP for high performance communication subsystems (2003)

Emerging applications and rapid advances in communication technology increasingly require high-performance communication subsystems. Parallelizing protocols in order to efficiently make use of multiprocessor platforms is one approach such systems. A function-based parallel structure of the widely used TCP protocol, applicable to a large variety of implementation platforms, is presented. An example of a multiprocessor implementation of the parallel TCP is discussed. General-purpose processors as well as specialized VLSI implementations of performance critical functions are considered as a basis for high-performance communication subsystems being able to sustain gigabit rates.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">&gt;</ETX>
Spreading of a mycobacterial cell surface lipid into host epithelial membranes promotes infectivity (2019)

Several virulence lipids populate the outer cell wall of pathogenic mycobacteria. Phthiocerol dimycocerosate (PDIM), one of the most abundant outer membrane lipids, plays important roles in both defending against host antimicrobial programs and in evading these programs altogether. Immediately following infection, mycobacteria rely on PDIM to evade Myd88-dependent recruitment of microbicidal monocytes which can clear infection. To circumvent the limitations in using genetics to understand virulence lipids, we developed a chemical approach to track PDIM during <i>Mycobacterium marinum</i> infection of zebrafish. We found that PDIM's methyl-branched lipid tails enabled it to spread into host epithelial membranes to prevent immune activation. Additionally, PDIM's affinity for cholesterol promoted this phenotype; treatment of zebrafish with statins, cholesterol synthesis inhibitors, decreased spreading and provided protection from infection. This work establishes that interactions between host and pathogen lipids influence mycobacterial infectivity and suggests the use of statins as tuberculosis preventive therapy by inhibiting PDIM spread.
