Search for gluinos and squarks at the Fermilab Tevatron collider (1997)

We report on a search for supersymmetric squark and gluino particles in a data sample of 19 ${\mathrm{pb}}^{\mathrm{\ensuremath{-}}1}$ of $p\overline{p}$ collisions at $\sqrt{s}=1.8$ TeV recorded by the Collider Detector at Fermilab. We searched for events containing jets plus appreciable missing transverse energy $({\stackrel{/}{E}}_{T}).$ This signature is indicative of pair production and subsequent decay of squarks and/or gluinos. After all cuts, there are $18$ events with ${\stackrel{/}{E}}_{T}&gt;60$ GeV and three jets, and $6$ events with ${\stackrel{/}{E}}_{T}&gt;60$ GeV and four jets. These numbers of events are consistent with estimates of standard model processes plus detector-induced background sources. The analysis yields lower limits on gluino and squark masses, based on the predictions from the mnimal supersymmetric extension of the standard model. At the $95%$ confidence level, we find gluino and squark mass limits up to 216 $\mathrm{G}\mathrm{e}\mathrm{V}/{c}^{2},$ assuming equal gluino and squark masses, and gluino mass limits up to $173$ $\mathrm{G}\mathrm{e}\mathrm{V}/{c}^{2},$ independent of squark mass.
Pathology of Demyelinating Diseases (2011)

There has been significant progress in our understanding of the pathology and pathogenesis of central nervous system inflammatory demyelinating diseases. Neuropathological studies have provided fundamental new insights into the pathogenesis of these disorders and have led to major advances in our understanding of multiple sclerosis (MS) heterogeneity, the substrate of irreversible progressive disability in MS, the relationship between inflammation and neurodegeneration in MS, the neuroimaging correlates of MS lesions, and the pathogenesis of other central nervous system inflammatory disorders, including neuromyelitis optica, acute disseminated encephalomyelitis, and Balo's concentric sclerosis. Herein, we review the pathological features of these central nervous system inflammatory demyelinating disorders and discuss neuropathological studies that have yielded novel insights into potential mechanisms involved in the formation of the demyelinated lesion.
ANALYSIS OF THE INFORMATION CONTENT OF TERRESTRIAL LASERSCANNER POINT CLOUDS FOR THE AUTOMATIC DETERMINATION OF FOREST INVENTORY PARAMETERS (2006)

Terrestrial laserscanners find rapidly growing interest in photogrammetry as efficient tools for fast and reliable 3D point cloud data acquisition. They have opened a wide range of application fields within a rather short period of time. Beyond interactive measurement in 3D point clouds, techniques for the automatic detection of objects and the determination of geometric parameters form a high priority research issue. The quality of 3D point clouds generated by laserscanners and the automation potential make terrestrial laserscanning also an interesting tool for forest inventory. The paper will first review current laserscanner systems from a technological point of view and discuss different scanner technologies and system parameters regarding their suitability for forestry applications. In the second part of the paper, results of a pilot study on the applicability of terrestrial laserscanners in forest inventory tasks will be presented. The study concentrates on the automatic detection of trees and the subsequent determination of tree height and breast height diameter. Reliability and precision of techniques for automatic point cloud processing were analysed based on scans of a test region in a Saxonian mixed forest. In the pilot study, which represents an early stage of software development, more than 95% of the trees in a test region could be detected correctly. Tree heights could be determined with a precision of 80 cm, and breast height diameters could be determined with a precision of less than 1.5 cm.
Mechanism of Intervertebral Disc Degeneration Caused by Nicotine in Rabbits to Explicate Intervertebral Disc Disorders Caused by Smoking (2002)

The authors believe that both reduction in the density of vascular buds and narrowing of the vascular lumen result in decreased oxygen tension, leading to decreased synthesis of proteoglycan and collagen, thus facilitating degeneration of the disc.
Identification and Characterization of Thiosemicarbazones with Antifungal and Antitumor Effects: Cellular Iron Chelation Mediating Cytotoxic Activity (2008)

Thiosemicarbazones derived from acetylpyrazines were prepared by condensing an acetylpyrazine or a ring-substituted acetylpyrazine with thiosemicarbazide. Using the same procedure, N, N-dimethylthiosemicarbazones were synthesized from acetylpyrazines and N, N-dimethylthiosemicarbazide. A total of 20 compounds (16 novel) were chemically characterized and then tested for antifungal effects on eight strains of fungi and also for antitumor activity against SK-N-MC neuroepithelioma cells. The most effective compound identified in terms of both antifungal and antitumor activity was N, N-dimethyl-2-(1-pyrazin-2-ylethylidene)hydrazinecarbothioamide (5a). The mechanism of action of this and its related thiosemicarbazones was due, at least in part, to its ability to act as a tridentate ligand that binds metal ions. This was deduced from preparation of the related thiosemicarbazones [acetophenone thiosemicarbazone (6) and acetophenone N, N-dimethylthiosemicarbazone (7)] that do not possess a coordinating ring-N, which plays a vital role in metal ion chelation. Furthermore, 5a and several other thiosemicarbazones that showed high antiproliferative activity were demonstrated to have marked iron (Fe) chelation efficacy. In fact, these agents were highly effective at mobilizing (59)Fe from prelabeled SK-N-MC cells and preventing (59)Fe uptake from the serum Fe transport protein, transferrin. In contrast, compounds 6 and 7 that do not possess a tridentate metal-binding site showed little activity. Further studies examining ascorbate oxidation demonstrated that the Fe complexes of the most effective compounds were redox-inactive. Thus, in contrast to other thiosemicarbazones with potent antiproliferative activity, Fe chelation and mobilization rather than free radical generation played a significant role in the cytotoxic effects of the current ligands.
Organic Linear Voltage-Controlled-Oscillator and Linear Current-Controlled Ramp-Generator on Foil (2023)

&lt;p&gt; A voltage-controlled delay cell is proposed. Two voltage-controlled oscillator architectures are fabricated based on the proposed delay cell. Measurement results emonstrate a linearity error of 0.1 %, considerably lower power-delay-product, and a smaller circuit area compared to the state-of-the-art VCO implementations in Organic thin-film-transistor technologies. A current-controlled ramp-generator circuit is proposed, which is the first of its kind implemented in flexible thin-film-technologies. The measurement results show a linearity error of 0.02 % for the ramp-generator circuit. All circuits are fabricated in Organic thin-film-transistor technology on plastic foil. &lt;/p&gt;
Digital clones and virtual celebrities: facial tracking, gesture recognition and animation for the movie industry (2003)

We describe a high performance facial tracking and animation solution, called the Digital Cloning System/sup TM/ specifically designed to meet the needs of the entertainment industry. Special and digital effects are now being used in most feature films thus representing an important new application domain for facial and body tracking technologies. Virtual Celebrity's system consists of: a real-time module responsible for pre-visualization of the tracked data on the face of an animated celebrity; and an off-line component that suitably meets the needs of high quality special effects and film production. We briefly review the state-of-the-art and present a comparative analysis of needs, methods, and existing solutions in film production vs. Internet and video telephony applications. Experimental results and demonstrations prove the effectiveness of our method.
Including Real Options in Evaluating Terminal Cash Flows in Consumer Auto Leases (2002)

Leasing has become a popular method of financing automobile acquisitions. According to White (2001), consumers now acquire a majority of luxury automobiles using lease financing. Traditional lease analysis ignores the value of options embedded in the lease that affect the terminal cash flows. This paper shows that the terminal cash flows from an automobile lease should be viewed as a call option and several put options, each containing different exercise prices. The paper contains data to assist in empirically estimating the values of these options at the end of an automobile lease. Results show that ignoring the interplay of option values at the end of the lease may lead to costly financing decisions by the consumer.

Bioavailability of lignans in human subjects (2006)

Dietary lignans are phyto-oestrogens that possibly influence human health. The present review deals with lignan bioavailability, the study of which is crucial to determine to what extent metabolism, absorption and excretion of lignans alter their biological properties. Since intestinal bacteria play a major role in lignan conversion, for instance by producing the enterolignans enterodiol and enterolactone, emphasis is put on data obtained in recent bacteriological studies.
A 700-kHz bandwidth /spl Sigma//spl Delta/ fractional synthesizer with spurs compensation and linearization techniques for WCDMA applications (2004)

A /spl Sigma//spl Delta/ fractional-N frequency synthesizer targeting WCDMA receiver specifications is presented. Through spurs compensation and linearization techniques, the PLL bandwidth is significantly extended with only a slight increase in the integrated phase noise. In a 0.18-/spl mu/m standard digital CMOS technology a fully integrated prototype with 2.1-GHz output frequency and 35 Hz resolution has an area of 3.4 mm/sup 2/ PADs included, and it consumes 28 mW. With a 3-dB closed-loop bandwidth of 700 kHz, the settling time is only 7 /spl mu/s. The integrated phase noise plus spurs is -45 dBc for the first WCDMA channel (1 kHz to 1.94 MHz) and -65 dBc for the second channel (2.5 to 6.34 MHz) with a worst case in-band (unfiltered) fractional spur of -60 dBc. Given the extremely large bandwidth, the synthesizer could be used also for TX direct modulation over a broad band. The choice of such a large bandwidth, however, still limits the spur performance. A slightly smaller bandwidth would fulfill WCDMA requirements. This has been shown in a second prototype, using the same architecture but employing an external loop filter and VCO for greater flexibility and ease of testing.
Architecture of Deinococcus geothermalis biofilms on glass and steel: a lectin study (2008)

Deinococcus geothermalis is resistant to chemical and physical stressors and forms tenuous biofilms in paper industry. The architecture of its biofilms growing on glass and on stainless acid proof steel was studied with confocal laser scanning microscopy and fluorescent lectins and nanobeads as in situ probes. Hydrophobic nanobeads adhered to the biofilms but did not penetrate to biofilm interior. In contrast, the biofilms were readily permeable towards many different lectins. A skeletal network of glycoconjugates, reactive with Dolichos biflorus and Maclura pomifera lectins, was prominent in the space inside the biofilm colony core but absent on the exterior. Cells in the core space of the biofilm were interconnected by a network of adhesion structures, reactive with Amaranthus caudatus lectin but with none of the 65 other tested lectins. The glycoconjugates connecting the individual cells to steel reacted with Phaseolus vulgaris lectin whereas those connecting to glass mainly reacted with A. caudatus lectin. Envelopes of all cells in the D. geothermalis biofilm reacted with several other lectins, with many different specificities. We conclude that numerous different glycoconjugates are involved in the adhesion and biofilm formation of D. geothermalis, possibly contributing its unique survival capacity when exposed to dehydration, biocidal chemicals and other extreme conditions.

HUB1 is an autoantigen frequently eliciting humoral immune response in patients with adult T cell leukemia. (1999)

The immunological screening of a cDNA phage expression library prepared from an adult T cell leukemia (ATL) cell line, ST1, was performed with IgG class antibodies in the serum of an ATL patient by the SEREX method to analyze the repertoire of antigen molecules in ATL. Ten different cDNAs, 7 previously reported and 3 newly identified, were isolated. One of the identified cDNAs was homologous to the recently reported gene, HTLV-I U5RE binding protein 1 (HUB1) encoding a protein binding to a possible repressor element of the long terminal repeat of the human T lymphotropic virus type I (HTLV-I). The obtained cDNA was expressed as a fusion protein with glutathione S-transferase. HUB1 protein was prepared by subsequent treatment of the fusion protein with thrombin. Reactivity of IgG serum samples from ATL patients, asymptomatic HTLV-I carriers and normal donors against the purified protein was examined by Western blot analysis. Twenty-one out of 30 samples (70.0%) from ATL patients, 10/24 samples (41.7%) from HTLV-I carriers and 9/24 samples (37.5%) from healthy donors showed positive reactivity, indicating the autoantigenicity of HUB1. The development of ATL may be related to higher production of antibodies against HUB1.
Risk of residual cancer after complete response following first-line chemotherapy in men with metastatic non-seminomatous germ cell tumour and International Germ Cell Cancer Cooperative Group intermediate/poor prognosis: A multi-institutional retrospective cohort study (2023)

While most men with intermediate/poor IGCCCG-PG harbour teratoma/cancer in the retroperitoneum despite a complete response to first-line-chemotherapy, only 6% managed with surveillance relapsed in the retroperitoneum. There was no significant difference in OS between the two groups.
Redefining Genomic Privacy: Trust and Empowerment (2014)

Abstract Fulfilling the promise of the genetic revolution requires the analysis of large datasets containing information from thousands to millions of participants. However, sharing human genomic data requires protecting subjects from potential harm. Current models rely on de-identification techniques that treat privacy versus data utility as a zero-sum game. Instead we propose using trust-enabling techniques to create a solution where researchers and participants both win. To do so we introduce three principles that facilitate trust in genetic research and outline one possible framework built upon those principles. Our hope is that such trust-centric frameworks provide a sustainable solution that reconciles genetic privacy with data sharing and facilitates genetic research.
Renal subcapsular transplantation of hepatocyte growth factor-producing mesothelial cell sheets improves ischemia-reperfusion injury (2019)

Ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) is a clinically important cause of acute kidney injury leading to chronic kidney disease. Furthermore, IRI in renal transplantation still remains a risk factor for delayed graft function. Previous studies on IRI have had some limitations, and few of the studied therapies have been clinically applicable. Therefore, a new method for treating renal IRI is needed. We examined the effects of human mesothelial cell (MC) sheets and hepatocyte growth factor (HGF)-transgenic MC (tg MC) sheets transplanted under the renal capsule in an IRI rat model and compared these two treatments with the intravenous administration of HGF protein and no treatment through serum, histological, and mRNA analyses over 28 days. MC sheets and HGF-tg MC sheets produced HGF protein and significantly improved acute renal dysfunction, acute tubular necrosis, and survival rate. The improvement in necrosis was likely due to the cell sheets promoting the migration and proliferation of renal tubular cells, as observed in vitro. Expression of α-smooth muscle actin at <i>day 14</i> and renal fibrosis at <i>day 28</i> after IRI were significantly suppressed in MC sheet and HGF-tg MC sheet treatment groups compared with the other groups, and these effects tended to be reinforced by the HGF-tg MC sheets. These results suggest that the cell sheets locally and continuously affect renal paracrine factors, such as HGF, and support recovery from acute tubular necrosis and improvement of renal fibrosis in chronic disease.

Mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue gastrointestinal and nongastrointestinal lymphoma behavior: analysis of 108 patients. (1997)

MALT lymphoma is an indolent disease that usually presents as localized extranodal tumor without accompanying adverse prognostic factor, and these patients have a good outcome. However, non-GI patients seem to progress more often than GI patients.
Chemical Properties and Biological Activities of Cyclopentenediones: A Review (2014)

Cyclopentenediones (CPDs) are secondary metabolites of higher plants, fungi, algae, cyanobacteria and bacteria. A common denominator of CPDs is the cyclopent-4-ene-1,3-dione skeleton (1), which is modified by several functional groups. The heterogeneity of these substitutions is reflected in around one hundred CPDs reported to date. Most of the derivatives were isolated primarily from plant sources. Synthetic analogues were then prepared with new biological activities and more interesting pharmacological potential. Antifungal substances called coruscanones (2, 3) are the most studied of the CPDs. Other intensely investigated CPDs include lucidone (4), linderone (5), asterredione (6), involutone (7), nostotrebin 6 (8), TX-1123 (9), G2201-C (10), madindolines (11, 12) and many others. In addition to antibacterial and antifungal effects, a broad spectrum of biological activities for CPDs has been reported in the past two decades, especially anti-inflammatory, cytostatic and specific enzyme inhibitory activities. The CPD skeleton has been identified in a number of substances isolated from the plant kingdom; hence, CPDs can be referred to as a new group of natural bioactive substances. The main goal of this review is to define CPDs with respect to basic chemistry, isolation, synthetic approaches and description of their biological effects. Special attention is given to a detailed view into biological activities of CPDs in vitro and their phamacological potential.

Wave modulation and breakdown (1983)

Time series of amplitude, frequency, wavenumber and phase speed are measured in an unstable deep-water wavetrain using a Hilbert-transform technique. The modulation variables evolve from sinusoidal perturbations that are well described as slowly varying Stokes waves, through increasingly asymmetric modulations that finally result in very rapid jumps or ‘phase reversals’. These anomalies appear to correspond to the ‘crest pairing’ described by Ramamonjiarisoa &amp; Mollo-Christensen (1979). The measurements offer a novel local description of the instability of deep-water waves which contrasts markedly with the description afforded by conventional Fourier decomposition. The measurements display very large local modulations in the phase speed, modulations that may not be anticipated from measurements of the phase speeds of individual Fourier components travelling (to leading order) at the linear phase speed (Lake &amp; Yuen 1978).
Parameterization of the Aerosol Upscatter Fraction as Function of the Backscatter Fraction and Their Relationships to the Asymmetry Parameter for Radiative Transfer Calculations (2017)

Simple analytical approximations for aerosol radiative forcing generally contain the aerosol upscatter fraction (the fraction of scattered light that is scattered into the upper hemisphere), while ambient measurements generally yield the backscatter fraction, and theoretical calculations of scattering phase functions often yield the asymmetry parameter. Therefore, simple analytical relationships and parameterizations relating these three parameters are very valuable for radiative transfer calculations. Here, we review published parameterizations, mostly based on the Henyey-Greenstein phase function, and evaluate their goodness and range of validity. In addition, we give new parameterizations that are valid over the full range of backscatter fractions that are possibly encountered in the ambient atmosphere (i.e., 0 to 0.5).

Impedance-type boundary conditions for a periodic interface between a dielectric and a highly conducting medium (2000)

Using the homogenization method, we derive a generalized impedance-type equivalent boundary condition for the electromagnetic (EM) field at a two-dimensional (2-D) periodic highly conducting rough surface with small-scale roughness. The results obtained in this paper generalize ones obtained preciously for the case of a perfectly conducting rough surface. We will show that the coefficients in this equivalent boundary condition can be interpreted in terms of electric and magnetic polarizability densities. We also show that when the roughness dimensions are small compared to a skin depth of the conducting region (a smooth interface), the generalized impedance boundary condition given here reduces to the standard Leontovich (1948, 1985) condition. Results for the reflection coefficient of a plane wave incident onto a 2-D conducting interface are presented. We show the importance of the boundary-layer fields (as used in this study) over that of classical methods when calculating the reflection coefficient from a highly conducting rough interface. This work will lead to an analysis of the effects of surface roughness on power loss in MIMIC circuits.
