Electronic properties of intimate Mo and CdS junctions in-situ formed on CuInSe/sub 2/ (011) cleavage planes (2002)

Clean CuInSe/sub 2/ (011) surfaces are prepared in UHV by cleavage of single crystals. The structural and electronic properties of the cleavage planes and of the intimate heterocontacts to Mo and CdS are investigated by electron diffraction (LEED) and photoelectron spectroscopy (UPS, (S)XPS). The cleavage planes are stoichiometric and close to flatband conditions. Ion bombardment and annealing leads to structural disorder, changes in surface stoichiometry, and to band bending. The intimate p-CuInSe/sub 2/ (011)/Mo contacts is reactive and interfacial metallic In is formed. A Schottky type contact with a barrier height of about 0.8 eV is established. Deposited CdS forms a non-reactive overlayer at room temperature. The experimentally determined valence band and conduction band offsets are 0.8 and 0.7 eV, respectively, in deviation from the electron affinity rule. At sample temperatures above 490 K a Cu/sub x/S interfacial reaction layer is formed and the valence band offset is reduced to 0.3 eV. The intimate heterocontacts investigated here do not correspond to the common knowledge of CuInSe/sub 2/ solar cells suggesting more complex interface processes there.

In this issue of Blood, Sparkenbaugh et al identify coagulation factor Xa (FXa), the target for new protease-selective oral anticoagulants, as a crucial mediator for both coagulation abnormalities and chronic vascular inflammation that characterize sickle cell disease.1
Fabrication of long lengths of YBCO coated conductors using a continuous reel-to-reel dip-coating unit (2001)

A low-cost, non-vacuum, solution precursor route has been developed to produce epitaxial Gd/sub 2/O/sub 3/ and Eu/sub 2/O/sub 3/ buffer layers and YBa/sub 2/Cu/sub 3/O/sub 7-/spl delta// (YBCO) superconductors on biaxially textured metal substrates. On sol-gel Eu/sub 2/O/sub 3/ seed layers with sputtered YSZ and CeO/sub 2/ top layers, a YBCO film with a J/sub c/ of over 1 MA/cm/sup 2/ at 77 K was obtained. On all solution buffer layers (CeO/sub 2//Eu/sub 2/O/sub 3//Ni), YBCO film with a J/sub c/ of 200,000 A/cm/sup 2/ at 77 K was grown using pulsed laser deposition (PLD). Meter lengths of epitaxial and crack-free Gd/sub 2/O/sub 3/ buffer layers were fabricated on cube textured Ni-W (3 at.%) substrates for the first time. High quality YBCO films were deposited on Rolling-Assisted Biaxially Textured Substrates (RABiTS) using a trifluoroacetate (TFA) precursor approach. The precursors were either spin-coated or dip-coated and decomposed in a newly developed fast 3-hour burn-out step followed by post-annealing. In a stationary burn-out route, we have produced 40 cm long crack-free YBCO TFA precursors on RABiTS. On short segments, YBCO films with a J/sub c/ of over 500,000 A/cm/sup 2/ at 77 K were grown on all PLD buffered-Ni substrates (CeO/sub 2//YSZ/CeO/sub 2//Ni).
Fine‐Tuning of Yellow or Red Photo‐ and Electroluminescence of Functional Difluoro‐boradiazaindacene Films (2008)

Abstract The present work describes the synthesis of difluoro‐boradiazaindacenes (Bodipy) functionalized at the central 8‐position by phenylamino moieties easily transformable into phenyl amide scaffoldings. Molecules carrying three linear or branched chains were prepared and characterized. An X‐ray crystal structure for the pivotal trimethoxyphenyl‐Bodipy derivative was determined, and the packing is discussed in terms of molecular interactions; a key feature for the formation of thin films. All of the dyes are thermally stable up to 170 °C but no liquid‐crystalline phases are observed. Reversible reduction and oxidation processes occur around +0.97 and −1.34 V, respectively, versus saturated calomel electrode in solution and the electroactivity and photoluminescence are maintained in thin films produced by vacuum evaporation. Interestingly, two distinct emissions are observed at 550 and 635 nm by electroluminescence of the trimethoxyphenyl‐Bodipy derivative, corresponding to the luminescence of isolated molecules and dimers, respectively. Doping Alq 3 films with this Bodipy molecule by vacuum evaporation produces organic light‐emitting diodes (OLEDs) in which very efficient energy transfer from the Alq 3 matrix to the Bodipy occurs by a resonance mechanism involving the first Bodipy excited state. Yellow light (550 nm, 344 cd m −2 at 15 V) is emitted at low doping concentration (7 mol %), whereas red light (635 nm, 125 cd m −2 at 15 V) is emitted at higher concentration (19 mol %). Dispersion of the Bodipy into a fluorescent poly( N ‐vinylcarbazole) polymer (PVK) (≈3 mol % per repeating unit of PVK) by solution processing exclusively produces yellow emission owing to the isolated Bodipyfluorophore (550 nm, 213 cd m −2 at 15 V). The second excited state of the Bodipy dye is likely involved during energy transfer from the PVK matrix.

AutoMAGI - an Autonomic middleware for enabling Mobile Access to Grid Infrastructure (2005)

Access to Grid services is currently limited to devices having substantial computing, network and memory resources such as PCs. On the other hand, most of mobile devices do not have enough capabilities to be either direct clients or services in the Grid environment. The existing middleware platforms like Globus do not fully address mobility, yet extending the potential of the Grid to a wider audience promises increase in its flexibility and productivity. Furthermore, the promising approach of autonomic computing holds the key to the self-management of such a multifarious undertaking and provides a way to further build upon this complexity without incurring additional drawbacks. In this paper we present AutoMAGI, an autonomic middleware that can handle the complexity of extending the potential of the Grid to a wider mobile audience, by incorporating the features of context-awareness, self-configuration, self-optimization, self-healing and self-protection in it. We address the issues of job delegation to a Grid service, support for offline processing, secure communication, interaction with heterogeneous mobile devices and presentation of results formatted in accordance with the device limitations.

PCR‐based strategies for delimiting large mutations in the DMD gene (2015)

Large mutations such as deletions, inversions and duplications are causative factors in many genetic diseases, in particular Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). Due to the complexity of pre‐mRNA splicing, the genomic span of such mutations is not readily predictable from the sequence of their mature mRNAs, nor vice versa. The difficulty of delimiting these mutations is compounded further in large genes with substantial intronic complements, such as the human dystrophin gene DMD, and the cost of whole genome sequencing, although continuing to fall, remains prohibitive for routine diagnosis and researchers attempting to define multiple large mutations. We outline several polymerase chain reaction‐based strategies for defining the precise junctions of large gene rearrangements. These techniques represent a practical alternative to whole genome sequencing for defining such mutations to a single gene. We report a pilot study designed to verify the feasibility of these techniques on a subset of patients with large mutations to the DMD gene. This study also analyses the mRNAs of these patients and attempts to draw inferences about the effect these mutations have on pre‐mRNA processing. The data gleaned from this project and similar future studies will contribute towards our understanding of pre‐mRNA splicing, the spliceosome and motifs that impact on gene expression. In a proportion of DMD cases, the phenotype and genotype do not correlate, and elucidating the mechanisms responsible will allow more accurate diagnosis and inform personalized treatment strategies.
Activation of p42 Mitogen‐Activated Protein Kinase by Glutamate Receptor Stimulation in Rat Primary Cortical Cultures (1993)

Recent studies have identified at least two homologous mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinases that are activated by phosphorylation of both tyrosine and threonine residues by an activator kinase. To help define the role of these MAP kinases in neuronal signalling, we have used primary cultures derived from fetal rat cortex to assess the regulation of their activity by agonist stimulation of glutamate receptors and by synaptic activity. Regulation was assayed by monitoring changes in both tyrosine phosphorylation on western blots and in vitro kinase activity toward a selective MAP kinase substrate peptide. In initial studies, we found that phorbol ester treatment increased tyrosine phosphorylation of p42 MAP kinase and stimulated MAP kinase activity. A similar response was elicited by three agonists of metabotropic glutamate receptors, i.e., trans-(+/-)-1-amino-1,3-cyclopentane dicarboxylic acid, quisqualate, and (2S,3S,4S)-alpha-(carboxycyclopropyl)glycine. MAP kinase activity and p42 MAP kinase tyrosine phosphorylation were also stimulated by the ionotropic glutamate receptor agonist, kainate, but not by N-methyl-D-aspartate. To examine regulation of MAP kinase by synaptic activity, cultures were treated with picrotoxin, an inhibitor of GABAA receptor-mediated inhibition that enhances spontaneous excitatory synaptic activity. Treatment of cultures with picrotoxin elicited activation of MAP kinase. This response was blocked by tetrodotoxin, which suppresses synaptic activity. These results demonstrate that p42 MAP kinase is activated by glutamate receptor agonist stimulation and by endogenous synaptic activity.
Integral cycle control of stand-alone generators (1985)

Reducing the cost of small-scale stand-alone generators (up to 100kW), particularly in micro-hydro applications, is of increasing interest. Methods proposed recently include the use of electronic load governors to regulate the generated frequency, and the use of induction generators in place of the more conventional synchronous generator. The use of a load governor results in constant-flow operation of the turbine, and thus eliminates any hydraulic stability problems. Many load governors switch increments of load on a cycle-by-cycle basis. Voltage regulation of induction generators may similarly be achieved by switching steps of capacitance each cycle. This paper analyses the stability of such integral cycle methods for controlling both synchronous and induction generators. The results, along with actual system responses, illustrate the viability of these techniques provided the stability requirements discussed are met.
Achieving Lumbar Fusion: An Evidence-Based Approach to Selecting Technique, Implants, and Biologics. (2022)

Many options currently exist for achieving lumbar fusion. A variety of techniques have been described. The challenge for spine surgeons is choosing which approach is ideal for the given circumstances, and to do this, a good understanding of the available evidence is necessary. The evidence regarding fusion approach, interbody cage utilization, bone grafting, biologics, and osteoporosis is reviewed.
Human Antibody Subclass ELISA (2003)

Our results have emphasized the potential involvement of the antibody-dependent cellular inhibition (ADCI) mechanism in the protective effect of antibodies mediating acquired immunity to Plasmodium falciparum malaria (). The ADCI mechanism consists of a cooperation between monocytes and cytophilic antibodies able to bind to the Fc receptors present on the monocyte surface. Thus human IgG1 and IgG3 are the main isotypes effective in ADCI, whereas IgG2, IgG4, and IgM are ineffective and could rather have a blocking effect if they are directed to parasite antigens that are targets of effective antibodies (-). Therefore, in order to assess the potential role of a given parasite antigen in triggering protective immune responses, it is of interest to characterize the isotype distribution of antibodies directed to this antigen and elicited in protected versus nonprotected individuals.

Attenuation of aortic graft arteriosclerosis by systemic administration of Allotrap peptide RDP58 (2003)

There remains no treatment for chronic allograft rejection mainly manifested by progressive arteriosclerosis. We investigated the effect of Allotrap peptide RDP58 therapy on arteriosclerosis in an aortic allotransplant model. RDP58 was administered intraperitoneally at 0.1, 0.5, or 2.5 mg/kg, every other day after transplantation. RDP58 therapy markedly inhibited vascular intimal thickening, media necrosis, and adventitial cellular inflammation. The attenuation of arteriosclerosis was associated with the induction of heme oxygenase (HO)-1 expression, inhibition of TNF-α production in aortic allografts, as well as decreased specific complement-dependent cytotoxic antibodies in serum. RDP58 inhibited both smooth muscle cell (SMC) proliferation with an 80% inhibition at 100 μM without evidence of cytotoxicity and TNF-induced apoptosis of SMCs in a dosedependent fashion. These data suggest that the suppressive effect of RDP58 on allograft arteriosclerosis is due to multiple actions of the peptide, including induction of HO-1, inhibition of TNF-α, and a direct effect on SMC proliferation.
Evaluation of anti-gout activity of some plant food extracts. (2008)

The anti-gout activity of methanol and petroleum ether extracts of celery leaves, celery seeds, rosemary, cinnamon and turmeric as functional food components was studied in potassium oxonate treated rats (250 mg/kg body weight, intra-peritoneal). Blood samples were collected from all rats after an overnight fast and after 3 and 6 h from oxonate injection for determination of erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), plasma uric acid, nitric oxide (NO) and malondialdehyde (MDA). Urine samples were collected for 6 h after injection for the determination of uric acid. Assessment of total phenolic contents, fatty acids and unsaponifiable matter (UNSAP) in the plants under study was carried out. Results showed that oxonate treatment produced a significant increase in all studied parameters compared to the healthy rats. Oral administration of different extracts (500 mg/kg body weight) showed a significant reduction in plasma and urine uric acid levels, petroleum ether extract of celery seeds was the most promising. The majority of administered extracts showed significant reduction in inflammatory (ESR and NO) and oxidative stress (MDA) markers with variable degrees. GLC investigation of plants UNSAP revealed the presence of different phytosterols. GLC analysis of the fatty acids methyl ester showed that celery seeds and leaves contained the highest contents of oleic and linoleic acid, respectively. Linolenic acid was only present in celery seeds and leaves. All the studied plants were rich in phenolics; rosemary was superior in this respect. In conclusion, the studied plant extracts showed significantly variable anti-gout activity associated with both antioxidant and antiinflammatory effects, which may be due to the presence of phenolic compounds, unsaturated fatty acids, long chain fatty acids and phytosterols.
New optimization methods for converging perturbative series with a field cutoff (2004)

We take advantage of the fact that, in $\ensuremath{\lambda}{\ensuremath{\varphi}}^{4}$ problems, a large field cutoff ${\ensuremath{\varphi}}_{\mathrm{max}}$ makes a perturbative series converge toward values exponentially close to the exact values to make optimal choices of ${\ensuremath{\varphi}}_{\mathrm{max}}.$ For a perturbative series terminated at even order, it is in principle possible to adjust ${\ensuremath{\varphi}}_{\mathrm{max}}$ in order to obtain the exact result. For a perturbative series terminated at odd order, the error can only be minimized. It is, however, possible to introduce a mass shift ${m}^{2}\ensuremath{\rightarrow}{m}^{2}(1+\ensuremath{\eta})$ in order to obtain the exact result. We discuss weak and strong coupling methods to determine ${\ensuremath{\varphi}}_{\mathrm{max}}$ and $\ensuremath{\eta}.$ The numerical calculations in this article are performed with a simple integral with one variable. We give arguments indicating that the qualitative features observed should extend to quantum mechanics and quantum field theory. We find that optimization at even order is more efficient than optimization at odd order. We compare our methods with the linear $\ensuremath{\delta}$ expansion (LDE) (combined with the principle of minimal sensitivity), which provides an upper envelope for the accuracy curves of various Pad\'e and Pad\'e-Borel approximants. Our optimization method performs better than the LDE at strong and intermediate coupling, but not at weak coupling, where it appears less robust and subject to further improvements. We also show that it is possible to fix the arbitrary parameter appearing in the LDE using the strong coupling expansion, in order to get accuracies comparable to ours.

This trial confirms the value of using peginterferon alfa-2a in both naïve and relapsed patients and provides support for a more tailored approach to treatment for relapsers and particulary for patients with a slow viral response.
Ordered Assembly of α‐Quinquethiophene on a Copper Oxide Nanotemplate (2006)

The organic semiconductor alpha-quinquethiophene (T5) is used as the active layer in organic field-effect transistors. We have investigated the adsorption of T5 on the (110) surface of copper and on the CuO nanotemplate formed by the high-temperature exposure of Cu(110) to molecular oxygen. The results were obtained with high-resolution scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) under ultra-high-vacuum (UHV) conditions. The adsorption of T5 on copper is an important model system because it mimics the active-layer-electrode interface in organic devices. The molecules were observed to adsorb onto both the pristine Cu(110) surface and the CuO nanotemplate, showing a greater affinity for the pristine copper surface. Surprisingly, however, the T5 molecules assembled with a much higher degree of long-range order on the oxygen-passivated portion of the surface.
Real-Time Geometry, Albedo, and Motion Reconstruction Using a Single RGB-D Camera (2017)

This article proposes a real-time method that uses a single-view RGB-D input (a depth sensor integrated with a color camera) to simultaneously reconstruct a casual scene with a detailed geometry model, surface albedo, per-frame non-rigid motion, and per-frame low-frequency lighting, without requiring any template or motion priors. The key observation is that accurate scene motion can be used to integrate temporal information to recover the precise appearance, whereas the intrinsic appearance can help to establish true correspondence in the temporal domain to recover motion. Based on this observation, we first propose a shading-based scheme to leverage appearance information for motion estimation. Then, using the reconstructed motion, a volumetric albedo fusing scheme is proposed to complete and refine the intrinsic appearance of the scene by incorporating information from multiple frames. Since the two schemes are iteratively applied during recording, the reconstructed appearance and motion become increasingly more accurate. In addition to the reconstruction results, our experiments also show that additional applications can be achieved, such as relighting, albedo editing, and free-viewpoint rendering of a dynamic scene, since geometry, appearance, and motion are all reconstructed by our technique.
The digital pill (2016)

Compliance with prescription medication regimens is poor in patients who suffer from chronic conditions as well as from diseases that affect public health. It is thought that improving medication adherence can have a profound effect on patient health, though medication compliance remains a problem despite the availability of many modalities. Recently, digitalizing medication adherence was made possible by Proteus Digital Health, Inc using an ingestible sensor that emits an electric field upon digestion. This signal is detected by an externally worn adhesive monitor, which records the time at which the signal is received, along with other biometric markers such as heart rate. This system is currently under United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) review for use in a combination pill that also contains aripiprazole, a partial dopamine agonist used for the treatment of certain serious psychiatric conditions. Digitalizing medication adherence can have tremendous applications in all fields of medicine, though issues of drug costs, patient privacy, and patient autonomy may need to be addressed.
