Challenges and Solutions for Model Driven Web Service Composition (2006)

System theory propagates the use of models which raise the level of abstraction to cope with complexity, evolving out of variety and connectivity. Different modeling techniques have been invented for the abstract description of certain aspects of dynamic system behaviour. Nowadays process models are also an accepted part of service oriented process design. Although service oriented architecture (SOA) is the aim, rather isolated processes are the starting point for executable code generation and not the changing functionality distribution the system offers. Thus we claim the system view, necessary for process lifecycle management, is missing. Moreover, in the context of Web service composition, a vertical, bi-directional model driven approach allows for manifold allocation of e.g. testing, validation or binding tasks within the layer stack of MDAs (model driven architecture). In this paper, we discuss two distinctive proposals for model driven service composition, followed by a comparison of representative mapping scenarios offered by IBM and Microsoft.
Highly Diastereo‐ and Enantioselective Synthesis of Cyclohepta[b]indoles by Chiral‐Phosphoric‐Acid‐Catalyzed (4+3) Cycloaddition (2018)

A highly enantio- and diastereoselective formal (4+3) cycloaddition of 1,3-diene-1-carbamates with 3-indolylmethanols in the presence of a chiral phosphoric acid catalyst is reported. The approach described herein provides efficient access to 6-aminotetrahydrocyclohepta[b]indoles in good yields with mostly complete diastereoselectivity and excellent levels of enantioselectivity (>98:2 dr and up to 98 % ee). Mild reaction conditions, facile scale-up, and versatile derivatization highlight the practicality of this methodology. A mechanistic study suggests that cycloaddition occurs in a stepwise fashion, after the formation of an ion pair between the chiral catalytic phosphate and the intermediate carbocation.
Luminance Contrast Requirements for Colored Symbols in Helmet-Mounted Displays (2002)

Previously, we presented an experiment in which we defined minimum, but not sufficient, luminance contrast ratios for color recognition and legibility for helmet-mounted display (HMD) use. In that experiment, observers made a subjective judgment of their ability to recognize a color by stopping the incremental increase in contrast ratio of a static display. For some target color/background combinations, there were extremely high error rates and in these cases sufficient contrast ratios were not achieved. In the present experiment, we randomly presented one of three target colors on one of five backgrounds. The contrast ratio of the target on the background ranged from 1.025:1 up to 1.3:1 in steps of 0.025 . As before, we found that observers could accurately identify the target colors at very low contrast ratios. In addition, we defined the range in which color recognition and legibility became sufficient (3 95% correct). In a second experiment we investigated how well observers did when more than one color appeared in the symbology at one time. This allowed observers to compare target colors against each other on the five backgrounds. We discuss our results in terms of luminance contrast ratio requirements for both color recognition as well as legibility in HMDs.
Nitrogen doped MgxZn1−xO/ZnO single heterostructure ultraviolet light-emitting diodes on ZnO substrates (2010)

We have grown nitrogen-doped MgxZn1−xO:N films on Zn-polar ZnO single crystal substrates by molecular beam epitaxy. As N-sources, we employed NO-plasma or NH3 gas itself. As x increased, optimum growth temperature window for smooth film morphology shifted to higher temperatures, while maintaining high N-concentration (∼1×1019 cm−3). The heterosructures of MgxZn1−xO:N (0.1≤x≤0.4)/ZnO were fabricated into light emitting diodes of 500-μm-diameter. We observed ultraviolet near-band-edge emission (λ∼382 nm) with an output power of 0.1 μW for a NO-plasma-doped LED and 70 μW for a NH3-doped one at a bias current of 30 mA.
Spatial and angular distribution of light incident on coatings using Mie‐scattering Monte Carlo simulations (2005)

We show the results of Mie-scattering Monte Carlo models developed to simulate the optical properties of light incident on particle-containing coatings. The model accommodates mixtures of particles with different sizes and complex refractive indices, enabling the simulation of formulations, including pigments. The simulation tracks trajectories of photons as they propagate through the turbid medium, calculating both angular and spatial light intensity distributions. Scalar quantities such as total transmission and reflection, and haze and diffuse reflectance, are also calculated.
Luminescence Analysis of PV-Module Soiling in Germany (2021)

Energy losses of photovoltaic (PV) plants because of soiling are a problem in all regions, including Germany. Soft soiling, caused by a uniform dust film, is shading a PV module and is reducing yield depending on the thickness of the debris layer. Hard soiling, caused by agglomerations of dust or dirt, only covers parts of a PV module, and it causes local shading. A spot check of modules from different PV power plants in Germany revealed a power reduction because of soft- and hard soiling of up to 6%. Determination of soiling type and amount is a prerequisite for decisions about cleaning and for optimizing yield. In this article, we show that luminescence imaging can be used to detect and characterize soiling and quantify losses. For this purpose, we compare luminescence images before and after cleaning and we show that soiling becomes detectable and power losses quantifiable from difference images. We also show that the impact of hard soiling can be quantified from a single photoluminescence (PL) image. This technique may enable a fully automated quantification of power losses because of hard soiling in PV- modules and strings in the future.
Association of a common AGO1 variant with lung cancer risk: A two‐stage case–control study (2010)

Based on the important role of microRNA (miRNA) biosynthesis genes in carcinogenesis, we hypothesized that polymorphisms in the miRNA biosynthesis genes may modulate susceptibility to lung cancer. To test this hypothesis, we conducted a two-stage study to evaluate the associations between single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the miRNA biosynthesis genes and the risk of lung cancer. In stage 1 of the study, 24 SNPs in the 11 miRNA biosynthesis genes (DROSHA, DGCR8, RAN, XPO5, DICER, AGO1, AGO2, HIWI, GEMIN3, GEMIN4, and TRBP) were genotyped in 100 lung cancer patients and 100 healthy controls using a sequenome mass spectrometry-based genotyping assay. One promising SNP (AGO1 rs636832A > G) was selected for stage 2 of the study, and genotyped by a melting-curve analysis using fluorescence-labeled hybridization probes in an independent set of 552 cases and 552 controls. The AGO1 rs636832A > G exhibited highly consistent results between the two stages of the study. In combined analysis, the 636832A > G was associated with a significantly decreased risk of lung cancer in a dose-dependent manner (P(trend) = 6.0 × 10(-4)). Individuals with at least one rs636832G allele were at a significantly decreased risk of lung cancer compared with those with the AA genotype (adjusted odds ratio = 0.67, 95% confidence interval = 0.53-0.84, P = 4.0 × 10(-4)). This finding suggests that the AGO1 rs636832A > G might be a useful marker for determining the susceptibility to lung cancer and that the AGO1 gene might be involved in the development of lung cancer.
A New Approach for Matching Small Parasitic Superdirective Antennas Using Network Characteristic Modes (2022)

This paper presents a network characteristic modes based method for parasitic superdirective arrays matching. The proposed method is used for designing a two M-monopole array with a separation distance of <tex xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">$d=0.1\lambda$</tex> that achieves a near <tex xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">$50\ \Omega$</tex> input radiation resistance, resulting in a matched input impedance, and therefore, a substantial increase in realized gain and total efficiency. The designed array shows a maximal directivity of 7.37 dBi and an impedance bandwidth of 23 MHz. The array present a −1 dB bandwidth of directivity, gain and realized gain respectively of 70 MHz, 70 MHz and 31 MHz.

Bimodality of Fasting and Two-hour Glucose Tolerance Distributions in a Micronesian Population (1978)

While frequency distributions of glucose concentrations in Caucasian populations are unimodal, bimodality has been described in the Pima Indians, a population with an extremely high prevalence of diabetes. Venous plasma glucose concentrations at fasting and after a 75-gm. oral glucose load were determined in 596 Nauruans, a Micronesian population with a diabetes prevalence of the same order as the Pima Indians. In both sexes and in subjects 10 to 19 years, the frequency distributions of the logarithms of the fasting and two-hour glucose values were clearly unimodal. In most sex and age groups of 20 years and older, the frequency distributions of fasting and two-hour glucose values were bimodal and consistent with a model of two overlapping Gaussian distributions. This population is characterized by marked obesity. However, there was no significant difference in the degree of obesity between subjects in the first and second curves of the bimodal distribution. This makes it unlikely that the bimodality is a consequence of the marked obesity seen in both the Pima and Nauru populations. The data show that among Nauruans, as with the Pimas, the frequency distribution of glucose concentrations can be used to separate the population into normal and hyperglycemic groups.
Error rate in current-controlled logic processors with shot noise (2004)

The error rate in a current-controlled logic processor dominated by shot noise has been investigated. It is shown that the error rate increases very rapidly with increasing cutoff frequency. The maximum clock frequency of the processor, which works without errors, is obtained as a function of the on-state current. The information channel capacity of the system is also studied.
Remedial Approaches against Arsenic Pollution (2021)

The study is devoted to a very urgent and acute problem for Georgia – remediation/restoration of the arsenic (As) mining and storage sites. The approach of a given work is based on using capabilities of nature itself, which has a great adaptive potential to chemical environmental pollution. The aim of the study is to identify the bacterial strains from the endemic soil microbiota, characteristic to a specific localization of arsenic contaminated sites and able to resist to the toxicant. To determine the level of arsenic contamination, soil samples have been analyzed using Inductively Coupled Plasma - Optical Emission Spectrometry method. The distribution of arsenic in soil samples splits them into categories according to the degree of contamination, ranging from 50 ppm to 13000 ppm. The local bacteria community has been studied using conventional cultivation method along with modern method of bioindication – a biochip. The low density biochip contains the relevant probes for the identification of the bacterial consortium in soil microbiota. Chemical and microbiological analysis was based on the standards and methodologies developed by International Standards Organizations – ISO and Environmental Protection Agency – EPA. It is prospected that bioremediation can become essential part of remediation against arsenic pollution in the context of circular economy.
Biofunctionalized targeted nanoparticles for therapeutic applications (2008)

Biofunctionalized targeted nanoparticles have demonstrated exciting results in preclinical studies. With continued improvements, they may fulfill their potential as therapeutics carriers that can deliver the maximum dose to diseased tissue while minimizing effects on normal cells.
Structural basis for corepressor assembly by the orphan nuclear receptor TLX (2015)

The orphan nuclear receptor TLX regulates neural stem cell self-renewal in the adult brain and functions primarily as a transcription repressor through recruitment of Atrophin corepressors, which bind to TLX via a conserved peptide motif termed the Atro box. Here we report crystal structures of the human and insect TLX ligand-binding domain in complex with Atro box peptides. In these structures, TLX adopts an autorepressed conformation in which its helix H12 occupies the coactivator-binding groove. Unexpectedly, H12 in this autorepressed conformation forms a novel binding pocket with residues from helix H3 that accommodates a short helix formed by the conserved ALXXLXXY motif of the Atro box. Mutations that weaken the TLX-Atrophin interaction compromise the repressive activity of TLX, demonstrating that this interaction is required for Atrophin to confer repressor activity to TLX. Moreover, the autorepressed conformation is conserved in the repressor class of orphan nuclear receptors, and mutations of corresponding residues in other members of this class of receptors diminish their repressor activities. Together, our results establish the functional conservation of the autorepressed conformation and define a key sequence motif in the Atro box that is essential for TLX-mediated repression.
Re-drawing the Maps for Endemic Mycoses (2020)

Endemic mycoses such as histoplasmosis, coccidioidomycosis, blastomycosis, paracoccidioidomycosis, and talaromycosis are well-known causes of focal and systemic disease within specific geographic areas of known endemicity. However, over the past few decades, there have been increasingly frequent reports of infections due to endemic fungi in areas previously thought to be "non-endemic." There are numerous potential reasons for this shift such as increased use of immune suppressive medications, improved diagnostic tests, increased disease recognition, and global factors such as migration, increased travel, and climate change. Regardless of the causes, it has become evident that our previous understanding of endemic regions for these fungal diseases needs to evolve. The epidemiology of the newly described Emergomyces is incomplete; our understanding of it continues to evolve. This review will focus on the evidence underlying the established areas of endemicity for these mycoses as well as new data and reports from medical literature that support the re-thinking these geographic boundaries. Updating the endemic fungi maps would inform clinical practice and global surveillance of these diseases.
Transfected Babesia bovis Expressing a Tick GST as a Live Vector Vaccine (2016)

The Rhipicephalus microplus tick is a notorious blood-feeding ectoparasite of livestock, especially cattle, responsible for massive losses in animal production. It is the main vector for transmission of pathogenic bacteria and parasites, including Babesia bovis, an intraerythrocytic apicomplexan protozoan parasite responsible for bovine Babesiosis. This study describes the development and testing of a live B. bovis vaccine expressing the protective tick antigen glutathione-S-transferase from Haemaphysalis longicornis (HlGST). The B. bovis S74-T3B parasites were electroporated with a plasmid containing the bidirectional Ef-1α (elongation factor 1 alpha) promoter of B. bovis controlling expression of two independent genes, the selectable marker GFP-BSD (green fluorescent protein-blasticidin deaminase), and HlGST fused to the MSA-1 (merozoite surface antigen 1) signal peptide from B. bovis. Electroporation followed by blasticidin selection resulted in the emergence of a mixed B. bovis transfected line (termed HlGST) in in vitro cultures, containing parasites with distinct patterns of insertion of both exogenous genes, either in or outside the Ef-1α locus. A B. bovis clonal line termed HlGST-Cln expressing intracellular GFP and HlGST in the surface of merozoites was then derived from the mixed parasite line HlGST using a fluorescent activated cell sorter. Two independent calf immunization trials were performed via intravenous inoculation of the HlGST-Cln and a previously described control consisting of an irrelevant transfected clonal line of B. bovis designated GFP-Cln. The control GFP-Cln line contains a copy of the GFP-BSD gene inserted into the Ef-1α locus of B. bovis in an identical fashion as the HIGST-Cln parasites. All animals inoculated with the HlGST-Cln and GFP-Cln transfected parasites developed mild babesiosis. Tick egg fertility and fully engorged female tick weight was reduced significantly in R. microplus feeding on HlGST-Cln-immunized calves. Collectively, these data show the efficacy of a transfected HlGST-Cln B. bovis parasite to induce detectable anti-glutathione-S-transferase antibodies and a reduction in tick size and fecundity of R. microplus feeding in experimentally inoculated animals.
G0700706 A Study on Ignition and Combustion Characteristics Using a Microwave Plasma (2015)

In recent years, Fossil fuel depletion and global warming, air pollution as environmental problems have become big problems. We were focused on plasma assisted combustion for the purpose of high efficiency and reduce environmental impact of the internal combustion engine. The present study had been executed as an experiment on the stage before the plasma assist ignition was applied to a diesel engine. Using a rapid compression machine in the study, we examined the effect of improving the ignition and combustion characteristics of the fuel-air mixture by plasma generated by the micro wave. First of all, the condition that strong plasma is generated was examined in the condition under the high pressure. As a result, it has been understood that the intensity of the plasma was depended on the micro wave frequency. In the plasma assist ignition, it has been understood that the ignition and combustion characteristics are greatly improved compared with a conventional spark ignition. (156 words)

The study has implications in different fields of nursing practice, nursing administration, nursing research. On the basis of the findings some recommendations were made for future studies.
Acquiring Plant Operation Knowledge through Learning Classifier Systems (2011)

We are conducting a research and development project on agent technologies to enrich “Field Forces” in steel industries under the support of the Iron and Steel Institute of Japan. The objective of the project is to explore the applicability of recent software agent technologies to practical task domains performed by both human experts and plant systems. Under the support, this paper proposes a new method to extract plant operation knowledge from time varying plant data. The method is characterized by the use of Learning Classifier Systems (LCSs), which is one of machine learning methods with rule generation, modification by evolutionary algorithms. We have equipped plural learning components, each of which consists of XCS (eXtended Classifier System), a recent advanced version of LCSs. We have designed each XCS as a software agent with communication capabilities among the other agents and the operation environments. This paper describes the basic principles and implementation of the method, then explains how the proposed method can be applied to plant operation tasks for hot strip mills of a steel plant. In our methodological frame work, we do not use any plant specific knowledge but only rely on the plant operation data virtually generated by the simulator of hot strip mills operations developed by Konishi et al. The objective of the proposed method is, therefore, to explore the feasibility of the data oriented method with XCS agents. The proposed method is combined with the simulator of hot strip mills operation and shows the effectiveness.

[An inquiry into the relevant issues about burn sepsis]. (2014)

Since the definition of sepsis was proposed in Chest by American College of Chest Physicians and Society of Critical Care Medicine in 1992, researches on burn sepsis have focused on the regulation of immune-inflammation response resulting in minimizing tissue injury resulted from excessive inflammatory response. Treatment of sepsis should focus on effect of early circulation oxygenation support in preventing and treating multiple organ dysfunction. The hypothesis of producing a hibernation-like state which might prevent multiple organ dysfunction in patients with sepsis provides us a new therapeutic strategy in protecting organs in the early stage of sepsis in future.
