This paper presents results of magnet characteristic analysis of a concentration type hybrid surface magnetic motor by using the finite element method. This motor has a structure combined neodymium magnets and ferrite magnets. We investigated optimal thickness of the magnets and their effectiveness.
WANDERING STARS: AN ORIGIN OF ESCAPED POPULATIONS (2009)

We demonstrate that stars beyond the virial radii of galaxies may be generated by the gravitational impulse received by a satellite as it passes through the pericenter of its orbit around its parent. These stars may become energetically unbound (escaped stars), or may travel to further than a few virial radii for longer than a few Gyr, but still remain energetically bound to the system (wandering stars). Larger satellites (10-100% the mass of the parent), and satellites on more radial orbits are responsible for the majority of this ejected population. Wandering stars could be observable on Mpc scales via classical novae, and on 100 Mpc scales via SNIa. The existence of such stars would imply a corresponding population of barely-bound, old, high velocity stars orbiting the Milky Way, generated by the same physical mechanism during the Galaxy's formation epoch. Sizes and properties of these combined populations should place some constraints on the orbits and masses of the progenitor objects from which they came, providing insight into the merging histories of galaxies in general and the Milky Way in particular.
19.8-GB ROM disk readout using a 0.7-NA single objective lens and a violet laser diode (2000)

The noise reduced disc and the advanced signal reproduction system with the asymmetry compensatory function enhance the disc capacity up to 19.8 GBytes per DVD size. The noise was reduced by applying Aluminum based multi-component alloy for the reflective layer, moreover all the loops in the system accurately function even under the signal asymmetric condition by using the newly developed Error Feedback type PRML. The error rate characteristics versus disc tilts suggest that the ROM disc system has sufficient performance for the practical use.
Increasing the Robustness of a Preconditioned Filtered-X LMS Algorithm (2004)

This letter presents a robustification of the preconditioned filtered-X LMS algorithm proposed by Elliott et al. The method optimizes the average performance for probabilistic uncertainty in the secondary path and relaxes the SPR condition for global convergence. It also prevents large amplification in the preconditioning filters due to secondary path zeros on and/or close to the unit circle, which may yield overactuation in practical applications.
Communicate and Fuse: How Filamentous Fungi Establish and Maintain an Interconnected Mycelial Network (2019)

Cell-to-cell communication and cell fusion are fundamental biological processes across the tree of life. Survival is often dependent upon being able to identify nearby individuals and respond appropriately. Communication between genetically different individuals allows for the identification of potential mating partners, symbionts, prey, or predators. In contrast, communication between genetically similar (or identical) individuals is important for mediating the development of multicellular organisms or for coordinating density-dependent behaviors (i.e., quorum sensing). This review describes the molecular and genetic mechanisms that mediate cell-to-cell communication and cell fusion between cells of Ascomycete filamentous fungi, with a focus on <i>Neurospora crassa</i>. Filamentous fungi exist as a multicellular, multinuclear network of hyphae, and communication-mediated cell fusion is an important aspect of colony development at each stage of the life cycle. Asexual spore germination occurs in a density-dependent manner. Germinated spores (germlings) avoid cells that are genetically different at specific loci, while chemotropically engaging with cells that share identity at these recognition loci. Germlings with genetic identity at recognition loci undergo cell fusion when in close proximity, a fitness attribute that contributes to more rapid colony establishment. Communication and cell fusion also occur between hyphae in a colony, which are important for reinforcing colony architecture and supporting the development of complex structures such as aerial hyphae and sexual reproductive structures. Over 70 genes have been identified in filamentous fungi (primarily <i>N. crassa</i>) that are involved in kind recognition, chemotropic interactions, and cell fusion. While the hypothetical signal(s) and receptor(s) remain to be described, a dynamic molecular signaling network that regulates cell-cell interactions has been revealed, including two conserved MAP-Kinase cascades, a conserved STRIPAK complex, transcription factors, a NOX complex involved in the generation of reactive oxygen species, cell-integrity sensors, actin, components of the secretory pathway, and several other proteins. Together these pathways facilitate the integration of extracellular signals, direct polarized growth, and initiate a transcriptional program that reinforces signaling and prepares cells for downstream processes, such as membrane merger, cell fusion and adaptation to heterokaryon formation.
Comparative Study on the Efficiency of Mercury Removal From Wastewater Using Bacterial Cellulose Membranes and Their Oxidized Analogue (2022)

A comparative study was conducted on the efficiency of mercury removal using bacterial nanocellulose (BNC) membranes obtained from the fermentation of the microorganism <i>Komagataeibacter medellinensis</i>, in contrast with its oxidized analog obtained by modifying the bacterial nanocellulose membranes <i>via</i> oxidation with 2,2,6,6-Tetramethylpiperidine-1-oxyl. Both types of membranes (modified and unmodified) were characterized to identify variations in the Physico-chemical parameters after modification. FTIR spectra confirmed the chemical modification of cellulose in all reaction conditions by the presence of a new characteristic band at ∼1730 cm<sup>-1</sup>, corresponding to the new carboxylic groups produced by the oxidative process, and the decline of the band at ∼1,650 cm<sup>-1</sup>, corresponding to the hydroxyl groups of the C6 carbon. While the XRD profiles indicated that the percentage of BNC crystallinity decreased and the SEM images showed that the nanoribbon network was interrupted as the amount of oxidizing agent increased. The kinetics of mercury removal from both types of membrane was evaluated by calculating the concentration of mercury at different times and establishing a mathematical model to describe the kinetics of this process. The modified membranes improved significantly the adsorption process of the metal ion and it was found that the modification that results in the greatest adsorption efficiency was BNC-m 7.5 with a value of 92.97%. The results obtained suggest that the modification of the bacterial nanocellulose membranes by oxidation transcendentally improves the mercury removal capacity, outlining the modified membranes as an excellent material for mercury removal in wastewater.
Infrared Spectrum, Structure, and Thermodynamic Properties of Trifluoramine Oxide, NF3O (1967)

The infrared spectrum of NF3O is reported. The general appearance of the spectrum establishes that the molecules has C3v symmetry. The bands at 1691, 743, 528, 883, 558, and 400 cm−1 are assigned as the fundamental frequencies. The rotational spacing of ν2 was used to determine the rotational constant, B=0.19 cm−1. Assuming tetrahedral angles and r(NO) = 1.15 Å with this rotational constant gives an estimate of r(NF) = 1.48 Å.
The DWQ-EMR Embedded Tool to Enhance the Family Physician-Caregiver Connection: A Pilot Case Study (2021)

The number of family caregivers to individuals with dementia is increasing. Family physicians are often the first point of access to the health care system for individuals with dementia and their caregivers. Caregivers are at an increased risk of developing negative physical, cognitive and affective health problems themselves. Caregivers also describe having unmet needs to help them sustain care in the community. Family physicians are in a unique position to help support caregivers and individuals with dementia, but often struggle with keeping up with best practice dementia service knowledge. The Dementia Wellness Questionnaire was designed to serve as a starting point for discussions between caregivers and family physicians by empowering caregivers to communicate their needs and concerns and to enhance family physicians' access to specific dementia support information. The DWQ aims to alert physicians of caregiver and patient needs. This pilot study aimed to explore the experiences of physicians and caregivers of people using the Questionnaire in two family medicine clinics in Ontario, Canada. Interviews with physicians and caregivers collected data on their experiences using the DWQ following a 10-month data gathering period. Data was analyzed using content analysis. Results indicated that family physicians may have an improved efficacy in managing dementia by having dementia care case specific guidelines integrated within electronic medical records. By having time-efficient access to tailored supports, family physicians can better address the needs of the caregiver-patient dyad and help support family caregivers in their caregiving role. Caregivers expressed that the Questionnaire helped them remember concerns to bring up with physicians, in order to receive help in a more efficient manner.

Emerging piezochromism in transparent lead free perovskite Rb3X2I9 (X = Sb, Bi) under compression: A comparative theoretical insight (2020)

Hydrostatic pressure has proven to be an alternative tool to chemical pressure to tune the crystal structure and physical and chemical properties, paving the way for a novel functional materials design. Halide perovskites consist of a large family of perovskites, with tremendous potential for energy applications. Their soft lattices and distinct behavior under pressure make them necessary to be studied under compressed conditions. Ternary antimony halides are one such class of perovskites that act as an alternative to lead (Pb) halide perovskites due to the lesser toxicity of Sb/Bi in comparison with Pb. In this letter, we have theoretically envisaged the effects of compression via hydrostatic pressure on the structural, electronic, and optical properties of Rb3X2I9, where X = Sb and Bi. The bandgaps not only decrease but are also direct in the desired pressure range. The calculated effective masses decrease with pressure, thereby indicating higher mobility of the charge carriers in the compressed material. The presence of piezochromism has also been confirmed from the variation of optical properties under hydrostatic compression. Our investigations shed light on the pressure dependent sensitive tuning of electronic and optical properties of Rb3Bi2I9 and Rb3Sb2I9, rendering these materials to have significant photovoltaic applications.
Longitudinal normative OCT retinal thickness data for wild-type mice, and characterization of changes in the 3×Tg-AD mice model of Alzheimer's disease (2021)

Mice are widely used as models for many diseases, including eye and neurodegenerative diseases. However,&#13;\nthere is a lack of normative data for retinal thickness over time, especially at young ages. In this work, we&#13;\npresent a normative thickness database from one to four-months-old, for nine layers/layer-aggregates,&#13;\nincluding the total retinal thickness, obtained from the segmentation of spectral-domain optical coherence&#13;\ntomography (SD-OCT) data from the C57BL6/129S mouse strain. Based on fifty-seven mice, this normative&#13;\ndatabase provides an opportunity to study the ageing of control mice and characterize disease models' ageing,&#13;\nsuch as the triple transgenic mouse model of Alzheimer's disease (3×Tg-AD) used in this work. We report&#13;\nthickness measurements, the differences in thickness per layer, demonstrate a nasal-temporal asymmetry, and&#13;\nthe variation of thickness as a function to the distance to the optic disc center. Significant differences were&#13;\nfound between the transgenic group's thickness and the normative database for the entire period covered in&#13;\nthis study. Even though it is well accepted that retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thinning is a hallmark of&#13;\nneurodegeneration, our results show a thicker RNFL-GCL (RNFL-Ganglion cell layer) aggregate for the 3×Tg-AD&#13;\nmice until four-months-old.

More than half of children living in conditions of environmental pollution had a breakdown of the processes in the form of automatism infarction bradyarrhythmias and sinus arrhythmia. In the analysis of heart rate variability revealed that the children of the observation group was characterized by initial autonomic tone as vagotonia asimpatikotonicheskaya and reactivity. A statistically reliable cause-and- effect relationships between measures of instrumental studies and elevated blood levels of benzene and toluene.
Janibacter corallicola sp. nov., isolated from coral in Palau (2007)

A novel Janibacter species is described on the basis of phenotypic, chemotaxonomic and genotypic data. Two bacterial strains were isolated in Palau, which were both Gram-positive, catalase-positive bacteria with meso-diaminopimelic acid as the diagnostic diamino acid of the peptidoglycan. The major menaquinone was MK-8(H(4)). Mycolic acids were not detected. The G+C content of the DNA was 70-71 mol%. Comparative 16S rDNA studies of the two isolated strains revealed that they both belonged to the genus Janibacter. DNA-DNA relatedness data revealed that 04PA2-Co5-61(T) and 02PA-Ca-009 belong to the same species, a new species of the genus Janibacter. From these results, Janibacter corallicola sp. nov. is proposed, with the type strain 04PA2-Co5-61(T) (=MBIC 08265(T), DSM 18906(T)).
Vacuum ultraviolet photochemical selective area atomic layer deposition of Al2O3 dielectrics (2015)

We report the photochemical atomic layer deposition of Al2O3 thin films and the use of this process to achieve area-selective film deposition. A shuttered vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) light source is used to excite molecular oxygen and trimethyl aluminum to deposit films at 60°C. In-situ QCM and post-deposition ellipsometric measurements both show that the deposition rate is saturative as a function of irradiation time. Selective area deposition was achieved by projecting the VUV light through a metalized magnesium fluoride photolithographic mask and the selectivity of deposition on the illuminated and masked regions of the substrate is a logarithmic function of the UV exposure time. The Al2O3 films exhibit dielectric constants of 8 – 10 at 1 MHz after forming gas annealing, similar to films deposited by conventional thermal ALD.
MPI-blastn and NCBI-TaxCollector: Improving metagenomic analysis with high performance classification and wide taxonomic attachment (2014)

Metagenomic sequencing technologies are advancing rapidly and the size of output data from high-throughput genetic sequencing has increased substantially over the years. This brings us to a scenario where advanced computational optimizations are requested to perform a metagenomic analysis. In this paper, we describe a new parallel implementation of nucleotide BLAST (MPI-blastn) and a new tool for taxonomic attachment of Basic Local Alignment Search Tool (BLAST) results that supports the NCBI taxonomy (NCBI-TaxCollector). MPI-blastn obtained a high performance when compared to the mpiBLAST and ScalaBLAST. In our best case, MPI-blastn was able to run 408 times faster in 384 cores. Our evaluations demonstrated that NCBI-TaxCollector is able to perform taxonomic attachments 125 times faster and needs 120 times less RAM than the previous TaxCollector. Through our optimizations, a multiple sequence search that currently takes 37 hours can be performed in less than 6 min and a post processing with NCBI taxonomic data attachment, which takes 48 hours, now is able to run in 23 min.
Generalization of Safe Optimal Control Actions on Networked Multi-Agent Systems (2021)

We propose a unified framework to fast generate a safe optimal control action for a new task from existing controllers on Multi-Agent Systems (MASs). The control action composition is achieved by taking a weighted mixture of the existing controllers according to the contribution of each component task. Instead of sophisticatedly tuning the cost parameters and other hyper-parameters for safe and reliable behavior in the optimal control framework, the safety of each single task solution is guaranteed using the control barrier functions (CBFs) for high-degree stochastic systems, which constrains the system state within a known safe operation region where it originates from. Linearity of CBF constraints in control enables the control action composition. The discussed framework can immediately provide reliable solutions to new tasks by taking a weighted mixture of solved component-task actions and filtering on some CBF constraints, instead of performing an extensive sampling to achieve a new controller. Our results are verified and demonstrated on both a single UAV and two cooperative UAV teams in an environment with obstacles.
Experimenting with quantitative evaluation tools for monitoring operational security (1999)

This paper presents the results of an experiment in security evaluation. The system is modeled as a privilege graph that exhibits its security vulnerabilities. Quantitative measures that estimate the effort an attacker might expend to exploit these vulnerabilities to defeat the system security objectives are proposed. A set of tools has been developed to compute such measures and has been used in an experiment to monitor a large real system for nearly two years. The experimental results are presented and the validity of the measures is discussed. Finally, the practical usefulness of such tools for operational security monitoring is shown and a comparison with other existing approaches is given.
The senescence‐accelerated mouse: a model for the investigation of age‐related oxidative stress and diastolic dysfunction (2008)

Diastolic dysfunction (DD) is characterized by impaired active relaxation, increased stiffness, and often progresses to diastolic heart failure. Although DD has been associated with aging and oxidative stress in humans, mechanisms of DD have proven difficult to study due to lack of relevant animal models. We have used the senescence‐accelerated mouse model (SAM) to investigate DD. This model mimics many geriatric disorders observed in humans and consists of two strains, senescence‐prone (SAMP8) and senescence‐resistant controls (SAMR1). Oxidative stress was measured in aortas using electron spin resonance. Pulsed‐wave Doppler echocardiography was used to assess blood flow velocity (E/A), tissue‐Doppler imaging was used to assess mitral annulus velocity (E’/A’), and color M‐mode imaging was used to measure the propagation inflow velocity (V p ). SAMP8 mice had a two‐fold increase in vascular superoxide compared to controls (p&lt;0.05; n=3). The E/A ratio was reduced from 4.2 ± 0.1 cm/s in SAMR1 to 1.9 ± 0.3 cm/s in SAMP8 mice. The E’/A’ ratio was similarly reduced from 1.6 ± 0.1 to 0.6 ± 0.1 in SAMR1 vs. SAMP8 mice, respectively. Finally, V p was decreased from 42.7 ± 2.4 cm/s in SAMR1 to 24.7 ± 2.0 cm/s in SAMP8 mice (p&lt;0.05; n=3). These data suggest that aging is associated with DD and oxidative stress in this model; therefore, it may be useful in elucidating the mechanisms behind DD.
Analysis of hybrid fuel-cell/stirling-engine systems for domestic combined heat and power (2012)

High-temperature solid-oxide fuel cells offer high conversion efficiency from heat to electricity. The exhaust from such systems is also attractive as a high-temperature heat source for a Stirling-cycle convertor. An economic and technical analysis is presented illuminating the prospects for adoption of such systems as domestic, distributed energy generators.
Angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitory activity of Lactobacillus helveticus strains from traditional fermented dairy foods and antihypertensive effect of fermented milk of strain H9 (2014)

Hypertension is a major global health issue which elevates the risk of a large world population to chronic life-threatening diseases. The inhibition of angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) is an effective target to manage essential hypertension. In this study, the fermentation properties (titratable acidity, free amino nitrogen, and fermentation time) and ACE-inhibitory (ACEI) activity of fermented milks produced by 259 Lactobacillus helveticus strains previously isolated from traditional Chinese and Mongolian fermented foods were determined. Among them, 37 strains had an ACEI activity of over 50%. The concentrations of the antihypertensive peptides, Ile-Pro-Pro and Val-Pro-Pro, were further determined by ultra performance liquid chromatography with quadrupole-time-of-flight mass spectrometry. The change of ACEI activity of the fermented milks of 3 strains exhibiting the highest ACEI activity upon gastrointestinal protease treatment was assayed. Fermented milks produced by strain H9 (IMAU60208) had the highest in vitro ACEI activity (86.4 ± 1.5%), relatively short fermentation time (7.5 h), and detectable Val-Pro-Pro (2.409 ± 0.229 µM) and Ile-Pro-Pro (1.612 ± 0.114 µM) concentrations. Compared with the control, a single oral dose of H9-fermented milk significantly attenuated the systolic, diastolic, and mean blood pressure of spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) by 15 to 18 mmHg during the 6 to 12 h after treatment. The long-term daily H9-fermented milk intake over 7 wk exerted significant antihypertensive effect to SHR, but not normotensive rats, and the systolic and diastolic blood pressure were significantly lower, by 12 and 10 mmHg, respectively, compared with the control receiving saline. The feeding of H9-fermented milk to SHR resulted in a significantly higher weight gain at wk 7 compared with groups receiving saline, commercial yogurt, and captopril. Our study identified a novel probiotic L. helveticus strain originated from kurut sampled from Tibet (China), which is a valuable resource for future development of functional foods for hypertension management.
Ligninolytic enzymes of the white rot basidiomycetes Phlebia brevispora and Ceriporiopsis subvermispora (1992)

The lignin-degrading enzyme systems of the white rot fungi Phlebia brevispora (one strain) and Ceriporiopsis subvermispora (five strains were analysed. Manganes(dependent peroxidase (MnP) and laccase were found in the culturemedia of these fungi. A hydrogen peroxide-producting activity was also found in cultures of P. brevispora. Its substrate specificity is similar to that of glyoxal oxidase (Glox) from Phanerochaete chrysosporium
