Analysis of a thermally enhanced ball grid array package (1995)

A thermally enhanced ball grid array package (SuperBGA package) has been developed. Its thermal performance has been analyzed using a nonlinear, lumped parameter model. This model uses a temperature-dependent heat transfer coefficient which accounts for the natural, mixed, and forced convection regimes and radiative heat transfer. The accuracy of the model is verified experimentally using one package size. The model is then used to predict the thermal performance of other package sizes and to rationalize the high level of thermal performance exhibited by the package.
Effect of 4-Hydroxy-2-nonenal Modification on α-Synuclein Aggregation (2006)

Several observations have implicated oxidative stress and aggregation of the presynaptic protein alpha-synuclein in the pathogenesis of Parkinson disease. alpha-Synuclein has been shown to have affinity for unsaturated fatty acids and membranes enriched in polyunsaturated fatty acids, which are especially sensitive to oxidation under conditions of oxidative stress. One of the most important products of lipid oxidation is 4-hydroxy-2-nonenal (HNE), which has been implicated in the pathogenesis of Parkinson disease. Consequently, we investigated the effects of the interaction of HNE with alpha-synuclein. Incubation of HNE with alpha-synuclein at pH 7.4 and 37 degrees C resulted in covalent modification of the protein, with up to six HNE molecules incorporated as Michael addition products. Fourier transform infrared and CD spectra indicated that HNE modification of alpha-synuclein resulted in a major conformational change involving increased beta-sheet. HNE modification of alpha-synuclein led to inhibition of fibrillation in an HNE concentration-dependent manner. This inhibition of fibrillation was shown to be due to the formation of soluble oligomers based on size exclusion high pressure liquid chromatography and atomic force microscope data. Small angle x-ray scattering analysis indicated that the HNE-induced oligomers were compact and tightly packed. Treatment with guanidinium chloride demonstrated that the HNE-induced oligomers were very stable with an extremely slow rate of dissociation. Addition of 5 mum HNE-modified oligomers to primary mesencephalic cultures caused marked neurotoxicity because the integrity of dopaminergic and GABAergic neurons was reduced by 95 and 85%, respectively. Our observations indicate that HNE modification of alpha-synuclein prevents fibrillation but may result in toxic oligomers, which could therefore contribute to the demise of neurons subjected to oxidative damage.
The Reaction of Grignard Reagents with Bunte Salts: A Thiol-Free Synthesis of Sulfides (2014)

S-Alkyl, S-aryl, and S-vinyl thiosulfate sodium salts (Bunte salts) react with Grignard reagents to give sulfides in good yields. The S-alkyl Bunte salts are prepared from odorless sodium thiosulfate by an SN2 reaction with alkyl halides. A Cu-catalyzed coupling of sodium thiosulfate with aryl and vinyl halides was developed to access S-aryl and S-vinyl Bunte salts. The reaction is amenable to a broad structural array of Bunte salts and Grignard reagents. Importantly, this route to sulfides avoids the use of malodorous thiol starting materials or byproducts.
New apparatus for detecting micron-scale deviations from Newtonian gravity (2008)

We describe the design and construction of a new apparatus for detecting or constraining deviations from Newtonian gravity at short length scales. The apparatus consists of a new type of probe with rotary mass actuation and cantilever-based force detection which is used to directly measure the force between two micromachined masses separated by tens of microns. We present the first data from the experiment, and discuss the prospects of more precisely constraining or detecting non-Newtonian effects using this probe. Currently, the sensitivity to attractive mass-dependent forces is equal to the best existing limits at length scales near $5\text{ }\text{ }\ensuremath{\mu}\mathrm{m}$. No non-Newtonian effects are detected at that level.
End to end measurements of multimedia streaming over LTE (2016)

This paper presents some end to end measurements of multimedia services carried out in the frame of LTExtreme project. We provide some understanding of the main parameters and the role of the different protocol layers in the achievement of the desired Quality of Experience (QoE). The trade-offs related to the adaptation algorithms that have been tested in a demonstrator are discussed, showing that adaptation may decrease the video delay at the expenses of decreasing also the efficiency and stability.
Chemical Interrogation of Mismatches in DNA−DNA and DNA−RNA Duplexes under Nonstringent Conditions by Selective 2‘-Amine Acylation (2002)

2'-Amine-substituted nucleotides in hybridized duplexes can be chemically tagged in an acylation reaction that is faster for mismatched or flexible nucleotides than for residues constrained by base pairing. Here we explore mismatch and hybridization detection using probe oligodeoxynucleotides containing single 2'-aminocytidine or -uridine nucleotides annealed to DNA or RNA targets under nonstringent conditions, below T(m). Consistent with a mechanism in which 2'-amine acylation is gated by local nucleotide flexibility, we find that efficient acylation is correlated with formation of weaker or fewer hydrogen bonds in base pair mismatches. Using 2'-aminocytidine-containing probes annealed to both DNA and RNA targets, mismatches are reliably detected as rapid selective acylation of the 2'-amine group in two sequence contexts. For probe oligonucleotides containing 2'-aminouridine residues, good discrimination between U-A base pairs and U-G mismatches could be obtained for DNA-DNA but not for DNA-RNA duplexes upon the introduction of a single 2'-O-Me group 5' to the 2'-amino nucleotide. The 2'-O-Me group introduces a structural perturbation, presumably to a more A-form-like structure, that exaggerates local flexibility at mismatches in DNA strands. Thus, 2'-amine acylation can be used to interrogate all possible mismatches in DNA-DNA duplexes and mismatches involving 2'-amine-substituted cytidine nucleotides in DNA-RNA heteroduplexes. Applications of this chemistry include detecting and chemically proofreading single nucleotide polymorphisms in both DNA and RNA targets and quantifying absolute amounts of RNA.
Spin Polarization Dynamics of Free Charge Carriers in CsPbI3 Nanocrystals (2020)

Lead halide perovskites (LHPs) exhibit large spin-orbit coupling (SOC), leading to only twofold-degenerate valence and conduction bands and therefore allowing for efficient optical orientation. This makes them ideal materials to study charge carrier spins. With this study we elucidate the spin dynamics of photoexcited charge carriers and the underlying spin relaxation mechanisms in CsPbI<sub>3</sub> nanocrystals by employing time-resolved differential transmission spectroscopy (DTS). We find that the photoinduced spin polarization significantly diminishes during thermalization and cooling toward the energetically favorable band edge. Temperature-dependent DTS reveals a decay in spin polarization that is more than 1 order of magnitude faster at room temperature (3 ps) than at cryogenic temperatures (32 ps). We propose that spin relaxation of free charge carriers in large-SOC materials like LHPs occurs as a result of carrier-phonon scattering, as described by the Elliott-Yafet mechanism.
MEDIATORS OF PASSIVE LUNG ANAPHYLAXIS IN THE RAT (1975)

Passive lung anaphylaxis (PLA) was investigated in rats sensitized by the intravenous injection of high titre reaginic antiserum prepared in rats. 2 The effect of various pharmacological antagonists on anaphylactic bronchoconstriction in vivo were examined. An antihistamine (mepyramine), a kallikrein inactivator (aprotinin) or a prostaglandin synthesis inhibitor (aspirin) did not inhibit PLA, whereas an anti-5-hydroxytryptamine agent (methysergide) and an anti-slow reacting substance-A agent (FPL 55712) significantly reduced the response. 3 Isolated perfused lungs taken from sensitized rats released, on challenge with the sensitizing antigen, histamine, 5-hydroxytryptamine, slow reacting substance of anaphylaxis (SRS-A) and prostaglandins, but no rabbit aorta contracting substance (RCS). 4 Disodium cromoglycate inhibited both anaphylactic bronchoconstriction in vivo and the anaphylactic release of mediators in vitro. Inhibition in vivo was dose-related. 5 Mediators from the intestine, the primary shock organ of anaphylaxis in the rat, did not contribute to the lung response. 6 Vagal reflex pathways were found not to be important in PLA in vivo. 7 The relationship between the mediators released following antigen challenge of passively sensitized rat lung in vitro and passive lung anaphylaxis in vivo is discussed.
Polyamorphism in cerium based bulk metallic glasses: Electronic and structural properties under pressure and temperature by x-ray absorption techniques (2013)

High pressure and high temperature x-ray absorption near edge spectroscopy experiments have been carried out on Ce60Al20Cu20 bulk metallic glass showing an electronic delocalization of the 4f-electron of cerium under pressure. In parallel, high pressure extended x-ray absorption fine structure spectroscopy reveals large structural modifications of the cerium local environment. This study provides experimental evidence that an electronic driven structural transformation occurs in cerium based bulk metallic glasses (Ce-BMGs). The effect of temperature on the hysteresis of this amorphous-amorphous phase transition is also discussed, suggesting the existence of a critical point in the phase diagram of Ce-BMGs. This work will encourage further investigations on Ce-based metallic glasses phase diagrams in order to support, or refute, the actual theoretical understanding of polyamorphism.
ICP and the Squid web cache (1998)

We describe the structure and functionality of the Internet cache protocol (ICP) and its implementation in the Squid web caching software. ICP is a lightweight message format used for communication among Web caches. Caches exchange ICP queries and replies to gather information to use in selecting the most appropriate location from which to retrieve an object. We present background on the history of ICP, and discuss issues in ICP deployment, efficiency, security, and interaction with other aspects of Web traffic behavior. We catalog successes, failures, and lessons learned from using ICP to deploy a global Web cache hierarchy.

Simulation of transcatheter aortic valve implantation under consideration of leaflet calcification (2013)

Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) is a minimally invasive off-pump procedure to replace diseased aortic heart valves. Known complications include paravalvular leaks, atrioventricular blocks, coronary obstruction and annular rupture. Careful procedure planning including appropriate stent selection and sizing are crucial. Few patient-specific geometric parameters, like annular diameters, annular perimeter and measurement of the distance to the coronary ostia, are currently used within this process. Biomechanical simulation allows the consideration of extracted anatomy and material parameters for the intervention, which may improve planning and execution phases. We present a simulation workflow using a fully segmented aortic root anatomy, which was extracted from pre-operative CT-scan data and apply individual material models and parameters to predict the procedure outcome. Our results indicate the high relevance of calcification location and size for intervention planning, which are not sufficiently considered at this time. Our analysis can further provide guidance for accurate, patient-specific device positioning and future adaptations to stent design.
Cutting Edge: CD4 T Cells Generated from Encounter with Seasonal Influenza Viruses and Vaccines Have Broad Protein Specificity and Can Directly Recognize Naturally Generated Epitopes Derived from the Live Pandemic H1N1 Virus (2010)

The unexpected emergence of pandemic H1N1 influenza has generated significant interest in understanding immunological memory to influenza and how previous encounters with seasonal strains influence our ability to respond to novel strains. In this study, we evaluate the memory T cell repertoire in healthy adults to determine the abundance and protein specificity of influenza-reactive CD4 T cells, using an unbiased and empirical approach, and assess the ability of CD4 T cells to recognize epitopes naturally generated by infection with pandemic H1N1 virus. Our studies revealed that most individuals have abundant circulating CD4 T cells that recognize influenza-encoded proteins and that a strikingly large number of CD4 T cells can recognize autologous cells infected with live H1N1 virus. Collectively, our results indicate that a significant fraction of CD4 T cells generated from priming with seasonal virus and vaccines can be immediately mobilized upon infection with pandemic influenza strains derived from antigenic shift.
Reactivity of NHC/diphosphene-coordinated Au(i)-hydride (2020)

We report the reactivity of isolable Au(i)-hydride stabilized by an NHC-coordinated diphosphene towards substrates containing C-C and N-N multiple bonds (NHC = N-heterocyclcic carbene). Reactions with dimethyl acetylenedicarboxylate and azobenzene lead to a trans-addition of the Au(i)-H across the C-C triple bond and the N-N double bond, respectively. In contrast, the reaction with ethyl diazoacetate affords a gold(i)-hydrazonide as the 1,1-addition product to the terminal nitrogen atom. With phenyl acetylene, the corresponding Au(i)-alkynyl complex is obtained under the elimination of dihydrogen. Strikingly, diphosphene-containing Au(i)-hydride is more reactive - affording different products in some cases - than a related NHC-stabilized Au(i)-hydride without the mediating diphosphene moiety.
Mos: A multicomputer distributed operating system (1985)

Abstract This paper describes the goals and the internal structure of MOS, a Multicomputer distributed Operating System. MOS is a general‐purpose time‐sharing operating system which makes a cluster of loosely connected independent homogeneous computers behave as a single‐machine UNIX system. The main goals of the system include network transparency, decentralized control, site autonomy and dynamic process migration. The main objective in the design of the system was to reduce the complexity of the system, while maintaining good performance. The internal structure of the system can be characterized by modularity, a high degree of information hiding, hierarchical organization and remote procedure calls.
A multi-source data integration approach reveals novel associations between metabolites and renal outcomes in the German Chronic Kidney Disease study (2019)

Omics data facilitate the gain of novel insights into the pathophysiology of diseases and, consequently, their diagnosis, treatment, and prevention. To this end, omics data are integrated with other data types, e.g., clinical, phenotypic, and demographic parameters of categorical or continuous nature. We exemplify this data integration issue for a chronic kidney disease (CKD) study, comprising complex clinical, demographic, and one-dimensional <sup>1</sup>H nuclear magnetic resonance metabolic variables. Routine analysis screens for associations of single metabolic features with clinical parameters while accounting for confounders typically chosen by expert knowledge. This knowledge can be incomplete or unavailable. We introduce a framework for data integration that intrinsically adjusts for confounding variables. We give its mathematical and algorithmic foundation, provide a state-of-the-art implementation, and evaluate its performance by sanity checks and predictive performance assessment on independent test data. Particularly, we show that discovered associations remain significant after variable adjustment based on expert knowledge. In contrast, we illustrate that associations discovered in routine univariate screening approaches can be biased by incorrect or incomplete expert knowledge. Our data integration approach reveals important associations between CKD comorbidities and metabolites, including novel associations of the plasma metabolite trimethylamine-N-oxide with cardiac arrhythmia and infarction in CKD stage 3 patients.

SIALIC ACID REDUCES ACUTE ENDOTOXEMIA-INDUCED LIVER DYSFUNCTION IN THE RAT (2009)

Endotoxemia caused by LPS is a life-threatening and inflammatory condition contributing to multiple organ failure. Viruses or bacteria require sialic acid (SA) for target-cell binding. We suggest that exogenous SA through masking or mediating the binding of LPS to the target cells may attenuate LPS-induced liver dysfunction and cecal ligation and puncture-induced shock. We found that SA can directly scavenge O2-, H2O2, and NO activity by a chemiluminescence analyzer and bind to LPS with high affinity using surface plasmon resonance. Intravenous SA significantly increased plasma SA concentration within 4 h. We then assessed the potential effect of SA on LPS-induced acute endotoxemia in the rat. Intravenous LPS (10-50 mg/kg) dose-dependently increased plasma endotoxin and reactive oxygen species in the blood, bile, and liver and increased plasma alanine aminotransferase and aspartate aminotransferase levels as well as TNF-alpha, monocyte chemoattractant protein 1, tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase 1, IL-1beta, and IL-6 levels in the rats. Thirty minutes after LPS stimulation, SA decreased LPS-enhanced endotoxin level, oxidative stress, alanine aminotransferase and aspartate aminotransferase levels, and cytokine concentration and ameliorated histopathologic alteration in the liver. We found that SA increased LPS-depressed Mn-superoxide dismutase, CuZn-superoxide dismutase, and heat shock protein 70 and decreased LPS-enhanced iNOS and proapoptotic Bax protein expression in the liver by Western blot. Sialic acid was given after treatment to rats subjected to cecal ligation and puncture, and the hypotensive effect was blunted for 6 h. In conclusion, SA treatment can counteract LPS-enhanced acute endotoxemia and oxidative injury via a direct scavenging reactive oxygen species activity and neutralization potential.
Is the Vitamin D Receptor Found in Muscle? (2010)

The active form of vitamin D, 1α,25-dihydroxyvitamin D(3), is critical for the regulation of serum calcium and phosphorus levels that in turn support bone mineralization and neuromuscular activity. It is well known that vitamin D deficiency causes rachitic/osteomalacic myopathy and cardiac disorder and the provision of vitamin D can reverse the symptoms. However, the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. The question of whether the vitamin D receptor is found in muscle has been debated but not settled. We recently studied all available antibodies against the vitamin D receptor and found that most antibodies used detect proteins other than the vitamin D receptor, and therefore, the utility of these antibodies may generate the false-positive results. Using antibodies that do not detect proteins in tissues from vitamin D receptor null mice, we have developed a specific and sensitive immunohistochemical assay. The results from this investigation show that the vitamin D receptor is undetectable in skeletal, cardiac, and smooth muscle, suggesting that the function of vitamin D on muscle is either of an indirect nature or does not involve the known receptor.
